1 This is Tho Tribune's birthday.
With this issiKs the paper enters upon its fourth year.
Its earoor has been more or less stormy. As is the ease in
newspapers started on insufficient capital in towns too
small to support them, life in its early stages was a stren
uous struggle, and at times its fate seemed destined to
bo that of the sparks that fly upward.
But the .Medford spirit sustained it the patriotism
and tin personal sacrifice that have made the eity what it
is toriav, made The Tribune possible.
Few realize the part played in the life of the commu
nity by The Tribune. The difference between Medford
and other southern Oregon towns is due in no small de
gree to the fact that 'Medford has had a live daily, con
stantly boosting, constantly preaching unity of action, con
stantly fighting for progress. And that is the reason win
there are no mossbacks left in Medford.
Since the present management took charge of the prop
erty, the paper has striven to be a credit to any eity the
size of MedJ'ord. As good a newspaper lias been published
as circumstances permitted -i little better perhaps t!ian
business warranted. The paper ranks as one of the lead-,
ing small eity papers of Oregon, of recognized prestige:
and influence throughout the state.
The Tribune has enemies but the paper that has no
enemies has no friends. The Tribune recognizes no one
as an enemy, but considers all friends at the beginning of
its fourth year. The Tribune has critics, but "To escape
criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing, and The
Tribune has something to say, something to do, and in
tends always to be a vital force in the life of the commu
nity. It has the courage of its convictions.
A bitter personal fight has been made against The
Tribune because it printed the truth. It has fought anew
the old battle for freedom of the press. It has been boy
cotted because its policy could not be controlled. Its editor
has been thrown in jail, unjustly convicted and fined,
slugged on the streets, and denied justice by two grand
juries. Hut having established the justice of its cause,
The Tribune, with charity for all, bears malice towards
none.
Medford can support one good paper, and The Tribune
will be that paper for its value to the community is rec
ognized. It will be enlarged and improved in a news way.
Competitors it has, and will have, but they "are of few
days and full of trouble." ,
Today The Tribune circulates nearly a thousand cop-,
ies daily. It distributes monthly $1000 in payroll, all of i
which is spent in Medford and Jackson county. All of j
its stock is owned locallv. It is a Medford institution,!
and will grow with the city. It has had a liberal patronage
trom progressive merchants, and tin
still better support for the aim is to make The Tribune
a paper that everyone will be proud of.

BAYS WOMEN'S CLUBS
CAUSE RACE SUICIDE
CHICAO. March Sit. Are women
ctiianuut'HUis conducive to race suicide!
This is tin question which is today
tigitating the Chicago Woman 's club,
the cause being a communication by
Mrs. Henry Hoist an I. who astcrts that
'There is no use denying that the
tquoakhtg of machinery in a meet inn "f
women is distressing."
"To one with immature nerves," she
continues, "t is positively dangerous.
Grandmothers, middle aged women,
whose children have g-own up and ma
tors unmarried women, with some world
l,y experience can c.tand it, but young
girls contemplating matrimony and
motherhood should be kept away." i
