FRIDAY APRIL 24, 1908"
The rosult ef the primaries shows
that all were elected mauy of them
to stay at borne.
The city of Eugene hai just decided
by a vote of five to one to buy the
ulant from a private concern and
hereafter operate ita own water sys
tern. The consideration waa $140,000.
Senator Fulton's equivocation on
Statement No. 1 and the tSollislon fol
lowing remind ui of the old yet ever
reoorring incident of the imall boy
and the gun "he didn't know that it
wm loaded."
In Nebraska, railroad employe who
drink 'are under the ban, and it i
significant to note in Mil connection
that many ol the town along the
Borlintgon went "dry" at the April
election,
The Med ford Mail seems to be doing
all kind of thing of late. It reoenlty
put In a new Mergenthaler typeset
ting machine, and then lat Thursday
the editor of the paper, A. 8. Bliton,
married Miss 'Ida Redden. Their
honeymoon includes a review of the
naval fleet at San Francisco, all of
which naturaly impresses the brethren
that Medford most be a good new
paper town to stand all Ibis pressure
Id one newspaper offioe in so short a
time. May the Mail continue to pros

When large corporations, like the
railroad oompanles, for instanoe, are
oont noally weeding out those of
their employes who are frequent
patrons of the saloons, it is eioellent
vldenoe that bnainese and boose will
not assimilate and.that the young'mao
who eipetcs to get on In the world
must keep away from the flowing
bowl if he would eucoeed. The lact
that many men say that they can
take a drink or let it alone does not
alter the 'ootoome with thoostnds
who have said the same thing and
who have sacrificed home, friends.
position and even fortune over the
saloon bar. Even the temperate
drinker seldom stops short of a terri
ble fall over the abyss of confirmed
Inebriety. It were better to put the
temptation out of the way than to
have to reinstate the fallen.
RULE OR RUIN.
There Is an Immense auicuut of clat

clpltHl, grasping corporate bxlios,
fre trade, high tat iff, eto., but the
real undercurrent and maelstrom of
dotrnction Is seldom hinted at by the
great agitator. Talk about large un
principled corporate bodies, there is
nothing in all chrltiidoui euual to
the lienor oligarchy, it command
more uionoy, wields more influence
and dnmus the whole country more
thnu all the so-called corrupt lnotl

anntchiHta, cauaoa more disasters,
jHivcrty and discontent thnu sught
elue, and wen the evil corrected to
day, the big end of the labor question
and flintnoial strait of communities
would bo solved; but the two great
dominant partlo have but one theme

trade, and while they are knocking

No Limit to the Strength
OF AMERICAN FENCE, as quality being equal, the strength is governed
by the size of the wire used.
The American farmer has declared AMERICAN FENCE to be the best
and is backing up his judgment by buying it more largely every year until
fully eighty per cent of the fence bought and built at the present time is
AMERICAN FENCE.
