JOSHUA PATTKKSON, for many years county com
missioner, has long dominated county affairs.
'Hie office of county commissioner is not a re-munora-tivo
one. It involves considerable sacrifice of time for
the nominal fee of $3 a day.
Mr. Patterson was a candidate for re-nomination at. the
hands of the republican party in the primaries.
Irr. Patterson was defeated for the nomination in a fair
contest, despite the aid of the large force of men lie em
ployes on road work, and the active assistance of mer
chants and mechanics to whom he throws county patron-
acre.

Mr. Patterson, however, refuses to abide by the de
cision of a majority of the voters of his party.
Mr. Patterson has bolted his party and is ruimiug as an
independent candidate for county commissioner.
What is there so attractive about the county conunis
sioncrship that Mv. Patterson makes such strenuous ef
forts to retain it?
Mr. Patterson is a well to do man. The $3 a day that
he gets is no object. What is it. then?
Party lines should not and do not counl in county af
fairs. It is a question of principle and personality.
The republican party rejected Joshua Patterson be
cause the voter's were insurgent against his methods and
svstem.
Irrespective of party, voters will reject Mr. Patterson
because they also are insurgent against what he repre
sents shabby and corrugated roads, unscientific methods
of road building, and neglect of entire rond districts for
veal's at a time.
Jackson county has progressed and the county road
system must progress also.

Mres. A. K. Thoughtrell, an old
lady G5 years old, living In East Med
ford, nearly laughed herself to death
last nlghf. But for the timely assist
ance of Dr. Pleasure might have re
sulted seriously. Mrs. Thougbtwell
says "she had heard a great deal
about the Nnt Theater, end thought
she would attend the performance
last evening. She got to laughing
over a picture entitled "Tho Fool's
Head in tho Lions' Cage," and be
camo hysterical. Dr. Pleasure was
called In nnd had Mrs. Thoughtwell
removed to her homo, and succeeded
hi getting tho laughing spoil broken
at 11 a. m. today. Whilo "The Fool's
Head In the Lions' Cage" is proba
bly ono of tho greatest pictures over
shown in Medford, the Nat Theater
will not bo responsible for any acci
dents that occur in laughing over it.
Tonight and tomorrow night. Ad

NOW that the Southern Pacific has built and opened
at Medford the finest passenger station on its lines
in Oregon, it is hoped that it will lose no time in making
the depot surroundings fit the building.
Plans for parking the immediate viciuity have been
accepted, but the proposed park is not extensive enough.
AH of the shacks on the railroad right of way from
Fifth street to Eighth should be removed and the ground
beautified.
Such action will improve the appearance of the city a
hundred per cent. It will make Medford attractive to
everv tourist and incidentally increase the railroad busi
ness. The frame shacks that now adorn the right of way
should be moved south or torn down altogether. They
are unsightly, and some of them are in danger of collapse.
The remaining poles on business streets should come
down. Clustered lights should replace the overhead are
lights. Shade trees should line the residence streets and
then Medford will indeed become the city beautiful.

Bearlco Pugh, of Union, has forsaken

MELLEN, Ore.. Oct. IS. To the
Editor Dear Sir: Will you oblige
me by publishing an emphatic denial
of the report, which seems to be
abroad, alleging Unit I am not fa
vorable to the lnenMire for the main
tenance of the T. O. State Normal
school at Ashland, about to be bub
mitted for the vote of the people
at our coming election.
I can fortunately refer to my pre
vious record to prove my portion
towards the sehoolr when serving as
representative for Jackson County
during the session of the legislature
of 1905, at which time I worked for
the liberal appropriation then ob
tained. And again during the ses
sion of 1907, when adverse legisla
tion was threatened, as u private cit
izen I traveled to Salem along with
other public spirted citzens of Ash
land and Jackson counties to work
for the interest of our Normal
school.
Imay add that, during my present
canvass of the county I find the
sentiment of the people so largely
in fnvor of the proposed bill lor
permanent maintenance of the school
that I have 110 doubt whntcvor of an
nil but unnnimoiiM vote in favor of
the measure. Hepectfully,
II. VON DER IIKLLEN,
Republican Nominee for State Sena
tor, Jackson County.

Snap Seems Gone, Says Pop An
son.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19. Tho con
sensus of opinion among those who
figure the chances of Connie Mack's
team wlnuning the championship is
that the Cubs must show moregln-
gerif they retain their title.
Here's what they all say:
Another case of youth agrlnst age;
speed and enthusiasm against list
lessness following continued success."
A. C. Anten: "The Cub3 lacked
ginger and the usual snap they have
always displayed. Perhaps the open
ing defeat had this effect on Chance's
men. But for perfect Bupport
Qoombs would have Io3t his game."
Ty Cebb: "Truly tho Athletics
showed great defensive strength. Mor
decal Brown was not up to expecta
tions." George Mullln: "Tho Cubs wore
outplayed in every department. I
cannot couceivo how tho Cubs have
any possible bopo for ultimate vic
tory,"
Joe Tinker: "Everything was
breaking for them and against us."
Bill Lange: The Cubs were out
lucke'd, but thoy must show more In
order to win,"
Hugh Fullerten: "It was too much
Collins. Collins out-thought and out
played tho Cubs."
"Doc" White: "Tho Athletics' In
field looked as good, If not better,
than the Cubs' infield."

The Grants I'nss-Ashland motor
car, going north at 4:18, was tho

sengers at the new Medford depot,
and at that had to wait a few minute.-,
to allow some belated ones, who
were not aware of the change, to
make the hike from the old depot to
the new one.
There was very little confusion on
this account, however, as the railway
employes were ready to give infor

unteer it to prospective passongvts
who had lost their bearings on ac

An educated ad reader will never be poor.
To "know advertising" is, to have a prac
tical knowledge of values of things of
when and how and where to buy. No one,
having and utilizing such knowledge, could
ever be unthrifty, or in any sense careless
or reckless of expenses. For such knowl
edge makes for thrift for saving. It makes
one proof against shams false values
manipulated reductions.
The intelligent ad reader uses as much
thought and ability in buying things as is
required in earning the money that is spent
for them. And that amounts to a substan
tial increase of the value of every dollar
of the familv revenue!
