—--------------------- I A SllICiDAL POLICY. FRYE’S MAG iL MACHINE. Carelessness in Packing Fruit will Injure the Fruit Mar ket of Southern Oregon. “Carelessness in packing is apt to ruin the Southern Oregon apple mar ket. A good many boxes were short of weight last jear.and should this prac tice be continued it will result in killing the goose which lays the gold en egg.” The speaker was W. V. Lipp incott, agent of the Southern Pacific, who spoke as he did in answering sev eral questions directed to him. “Last year,” continued the agent, “we had the buyers to come among us and pay cash for our products. The fruit raisers who have helped to work up a market or who have dealt with commission and middle men know what that means. And it will come to that unless care is taken in properly packing the fruit. It pays to deal honestly with the consumer. The short|weight last year on the part of some of the fruit men was duetocare- lessness and a desire to sell their pro duct as soon as possible and, take advantage of the good prices. South ern Oregon, outside of Hood river, is the only place in which such apples can be grown, and the demand will always be good, no matter if the whole valley is planted in apples. But care in packing, as most of the experienc ed fruit men know, is one of the essential things to the continued suc cess of the industry. This fact can not be stamped too strongly upon the minds of those who are engaged or about to engage in fruit raising. •‘When a product arrives to the consumer in bad shape or is short of weight it gives the producing section a black eye, and the buyer looks around for a more promising field where he can get a product which will satisfy consumers. It is a mistake to suppose the app’es will sell upon their reputa tion alone. To get a market is not the main thing by any means. After it is secured the next thing is to keep it, and the only way to dothat is to observe the «ame care in always pre paring the fruit. The newspapers of the valley cannot say too much in warning fruit meu to be careful in this respect.” Our Locomotives the Best. The ten locomotives recently sent to France have been found very satisfactory, and as this number is only the first shipment of an order for fifty of them, it shows that foreign people appreciate the value of American products, that has become very prominent during the past fifty years, and that is Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters, the standard medicine forstomach. liver and bowel complaints. Many people who have experimented for years with unknown remedies without finding relief have been brought back to health by its use. Then this is surely the medicine for you. It will cure dys pepsia, indigestion, constipation, flatulency and malaria, fever and ague. We urge you to try it. Our private stamp is over the neck of the bott e. A WOMAN IN BLACK FLITTED THROUGH THE TOWN SATURDAY AND GAVE THE RUSH ACT TO SOME. A young woman, dressed in a black tailor made suit,with a blue silk waist ornamented with white figures,and a Boman nose and dark hair, gave the “rush act” to a couple of Medford teachers last Saturday for S20 each. She purported to represent the Sprague Wholesale Book Co., succes sors to J. H. Mooreof Chicago. For the consideration of the mooey she claim be will furnish an outfit to the parlies Ly which the latter can travel and establish local agencies. This suiye young lady, in a brisk, businesslike manner,explained that she did not want the teachers to canvass for the books; it was their business to travel over the country and establish agencies. They were to appoint six local agents in Medford before start ing, and receive for their services $50 per month each. In fact, they were to travel over the country at the ex pense of the company and hav^ a good time. The work of establishing agen cies was merely incidental. After a couple of the young ladies handed over the required amount they got “cold feet;” In other words, wished to withdraw and askeJ for a return of their money. The agent explained that she would have to send to Chi cago before she cou’d give back the cash, and then, like the Arab, she folded rer tent and fi tted away. It is said several of the Ashland teachers boug lit. stock, and one teacher •n Medfi rd cairns sue has traveled for the company and it is all right However tlial may he, It nip.i is a big stock of fait h in hu man ri >1 ute to hand over $2t‘ pieces with no rm re se curity than is-aid to have buen offer ed by the mj'tirloiis ady in black.

PEOPLES AND RULERS OF EUROPE The Difference Between Admiration For Royalty and Affection For the Subjects of Royalty—It Is Our Pol icy to Denounce as “Paupers*’ the People of Germany and Engliiul. Discussing the recent visit of Trlnce Henry and the elaborate receptions ten dered him by Americans, Louis F. Post says in his paper, The Public: These demonstrations are In keeping with our dispatch of special envoys to the crowning of King Edward. Both are conventional expressions of impe rialistic sentiments—sentiments that are fitly, even if accidentally, symbol ized by the extinguishing at this time of the light in the torch of that magnifi cent statue in New York barbor,"Liber- ty Enlightening the World.” The pre tense that they are tokens of affection for the people whose crowned rulers we thus honor is unfounded. There is a world of difference between admira tion for royalty and affection for the subjects of royalty, anil this difference could have no more striking exemplifi cation than may be found in the recent history of our own country. Were the people of the South African Republic anil tlie Orange Free State any less objects of our affection than are tlie people of Great Britain or Ger many? Clearly not. If we were in love with foreign peoples, there is no reason why we should not have loved the Boers too. But when their accred ited representatives came to this coun try the president limited bis attentions to an informal chat on the back porch, and they were welcomed by the people only at spontaneous and unofficial re ceptions. Why didn’t we express our love for the Boers by officially honor ing their envoys? Or. If this Indicates only Indifference to weak peoples rather than preference for royalty, let our laws speak for us. Ry immigration statutes we head off poor Germans and poor Englishmen from coming to our shores, and along the Canadian liorder we try to prevent British subjects, honest workingmen, from crossing the line to earn their liv ing. That is one of the indications of our love for the people with whose he reditary rulers we hobnob on pretense that, as they represent their subjects, we are thereby honoring the subjects. A more precise illustration of this hypocrisy may be obtained by compar ing our present attentions to British and German royalty with the reasons that have liven urged within the decade in support of our "protection” policy. Tlie same newspapers and imliticians, even tlie identical political party, that apologize for our participation in the amenities of royalty, urging that in this way we signalize otir affection not for royalty, but for the people who are its subjects, were then appealing to Amer lean voters to declare commercial war against the very people with whose royal rulers they would now have ns "mix.” - Tlie English and German peo ple were then denounced as "paupers,” whose products must be kept out of this country, while nil arguments for free trade ns a token and guarantee of international friendship were scouted as sentimental. And when in conse quence of tlie policy of American pro tection so secured a British or a Ger man industry broke- down, the event was linlled on this slil«1 by these haters of foreigiu rs as If It hail been a victory in battle There has been no change of sentiment among them since. Tlielr enmity toward the British and tlie German people, which is expressed In our t-estiiitive tariff laws anil was brutally de •lureil by Republican speak ers ami pipvis In the political cam pnigim that produced those laws, still exists in I lie Miime quarters.

They Are Multiplying and Indicate a Comln* Democratic Revival. The signs are multiplying all around the political horizon thut indicate a coming Democratic revival, says the Atlanta Constitution. We use that hist word advisedly. We mean a renewal of Democratic faith, confidence and union of effort to convert a great ma jorlty of the people to sound principles and just government. The gouging and crowding by some of the brethren In congress are signifi cant. They scent the coming victory and are already eager to get front places in the procession. They are anxious to be where they can holler first, "I told you so!” Thej- are fur nishing signs of promise rather than of serious discords. That there is n sanity' In their seeming confusion is evidenced by their refusal to forecast issues and assume to predicate a na tional platform for the party iu ad vance of the convention of 11)04. The Republican party's predicament is not ajiappy one. They have a pres ident on their hands. They have never before had one who was so determined to spell his title with capital letters, lie is himself the x in their political equation—the unknown quantity whose value as a party keeper and leader Is jet to be worked out They are not ill beautiful agreement upon pending and urgent policies. Thej- have inherited the reciprocity proposition, which their leaders wish to strangle, and have had thrust upon them a Cuban question which they hope to avoid. The Philip pine policj' is a pro edged sword which thej’ are compelled to handle with the greatest care, and there are other matters, such as tlie isthmian canal, tlie surplus, the war taxes and lhe ship subsidy bill, that are power- fully perplexing to them. The Democrats, however, have everj reason to be hopeful. They have no more to do at present than'to watch everj- move by their opponents, hang on their flanks, expose their errors, tluir invasions of the constitution, their evasions of the fundamental prin ciples of free government, their extrav agances with the people's money and tlielr subservience to capital and to corporations, trusts and mono|M*lies Then, dropping out of the programme all dead Issues and past differences they can come together on principles that no Democrat can gainsay, that the common faith of the country can ac cept without serious argument and that a majority of patriotic Americans wil) support. Careless packing of fruit is a suicidal policy. It not only hurts the individual shipper, but re verts with the force of a boome rang upon the whole comunitv. If the practice iseontinued it will drive buyers away; and then the fruit men will be at the mercy of the middle men. Most fruit growers in Oregon know what that means. The orehardists of the valley have made themselves independent by their own enter prise, and cannot afford to sac rifice that independence through the carelessness of a few people in not properly packing their fruit. In some parts of Oregon the fruit-raisers give all of their profits to the middle-men. They are little more than slaves toiling for their masters. Many of their farms are mortgaged. They can hardly call their souls their own. Their product is hawked about from one commission mer chant to another,until in despair they sell it for whatever they can get; and, worse still, even when the demand is good, and they figure on getting a living price, the deft manipulations of the middlemen exact full tribute from the luckless producers. The fruit is reported as having arrived at the market in bad shape, or some other of the many excuses used by thecommission men in keeping their slaves’ noses to the grind stone. In contrast to such a picture the true independence of the farmers of the Rogue River Valiev is a birthright of priceless value. Like a Drowning Man. “Five years ago a disease the doc tors called dyspepsia too« such hold of me that 1 could scarcely go,” writes Geo. 8.

City Drug Store, .Jackson ville, and Dr. J. Hinkle,Central Point. Fruit men say the present weather is the fine growing sort for fruit and crops of all kinds. They report there is little danger of frost from this time on, and that the trees are heavily laden. That means another prosjterous year. It means en couragement to those who have lately bought orchards, and are depending on this year’s crop to pay something on the invest ment. A total crop failure is an unknown quantity in the Rogue River Valley; and even a partial failure is so rare as to make the HOPE FOR TARIFF REFORM. farmers think they are “playing ColliNlonn In the Protection Camp in hard luck” when it so hap Are Galan For Sound Principle«. pens. The Chicago Chronicle sees tin* dawn ing of a brighter day for our tariff bur dened country. It comments upon the Babcock amendment as follows: "Such a bill would not have paused the house. But the house came almost to tlie point of confronting the ques tion. This vote Is an admonition to tlie tariff protected trust syndicates aril to the taritiites In congress. The yiorld moves-it Is In rapid motion. Tlie progress of freedom in trade and In dustry ntny lie checked and de nyisl. Trust combinations may for tlie pres ent defeat the popular will. But tlielr day will come. "Mr. Payne, the chairman of tlie ways anil means committee, i'hr?aten ed tlie friends of free traue In trust steel and iron that the tariff on I imber might also lie removed. He Is told to go ahead and remove it if it Is so ini quitous ns the steel and iron tariff. Perhaps this quarrel may tie compro mised. "Future similar quarrefB may be compromised. But every real quarrel on tlie subject Is a sign of progress. Tlie fight goes on. and each day victory is nearer. Tlie little collision in the committee is n prelude to more energet ic collisions on broader fields of action. "With everj- meeting of the opposing forces truth and sound principles of government will gain. False principles of government will lose In every con flict. in the l>-te event we see the bo ginning of the end.” Many keen observers do not agree with The Chronicle that the Babcock bill would not pass If it could lie brought liefore the bouse. Some of the lending Republicans say It would go through If put to n vote. The fact that the majority party has found it neces nary to adopt ihe gag rule to prevent such nil amendment going before the house Indicates Hint the leaders are by no means sure Unit the bill would be voted down. The day of awakening cannot be far off. ENGAGE». Marriage is ver* largely nn accident, tn few cases do men or women set up a standard of manly or womanly excellence and clioo.se by it. In most cases people become engaged as the result of pro pinquity rather than because of any deep rooted preference. And so it often happens that the wife enters upon the obligations of maternity just as thoughtlessly as she entered on the marriage relation, because no one lias warned her of the dangers she faces. Thousands of women become invalids for lack of knowledge of themselves. It is to this large body of women that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription conies as a priceless boon, because it cures womanly ills. "Favorite Prescription” establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It makes weak women strong, sick women well. •After my ftrst child was born," write* Mrs Jordan Stout. of Fawcettgap, Frederick Co., V*.. •my health w«* very poor for a Iona time, and last winter I waa *o mil with pain down in hack I could hardly move without great ■uffrrln*.
