In the same dny we read of a woman who asked for a divorce because her hus band took but one 'hath in 13 years and that was when he Jell in. If these conditions keep up what is the soap trust going to do for a liv ing? ' After saving a man's life at Yen ice, California, flip hero was rewarded with one dime. If this rate is estab lished the bottom will drop out of the hero business. Never mind the cost of living. If we get ono cent letter postage we can let our friends know wo arc alire for half the money. Old man Umph says, "Mcnny a man gives out mysterious hints in or dur to be konsiddered wise."

POINTS OF COMPASS ARE SHOWN ON SIDEWALK YEAR ov so ago tho Mail Tribune Warned tho wonion of Medford and the RotrUo Hiver vnlley ooueerninir MaT.Mrfflo'red M JhA.M2S?S. tho operations of E. G.

Their denunciation, however, was not without charity, for they "pitied the ignorance of the editor,' while stopping their subscriptions. .It was proposed at that time by Mr. Lewis, through his traveling representative, to build a clubhouse for the woni- f on of Medford. An analysis of the proposition showed Official Paper of the City of Medford; instead that tllO WOlUOll Ot ModfOl'd WO TO TO l)Ull(l tllO ClUl)- housc and present it to Mr. Lejvis. That te, if they reaped the reward of their own exertions. The Mail Tribune went to considerable trouble to look up Mr. Lewis' record at the time and the history of his wildcat schemes. As a result ot tho exposure, no club house was built, though a considerable number of local women were duped. Last week Mr. Lewis' different concerns were thrown into receivers' hands, fraud was alleged and tho bubble burst. .It was asserted that Mr. Lewis used the endless chain system in all of his schemes, paying the debts of ono with worthless paper securities of the other. Tho Congressional Record reports a recent speech in the United States senate by Senator T. E. Burton of Ohio upon Mr. Lewis and what the senator pronounced his "nefarious schemes." "All of Lewis' clever writings,'' asserted Senator Burton, "his disgusting flattery, his edu cational allurements, and association with respectability are focused m the purpose ot winning confidence ot coun try people that he might borrow their money on worthless paper securities." Continuing, Mr. Burton said: "In 190S Lewis organized the American Woman's league as an auxiliary of his publishing company. In his first literature ho proposed the scheme as a means of pay ing his debts. Membership in this league was to be secur ed by sending $52 worth of subscriptions to Lewis' papers or for certificates of membership. One-half of these re mittances were to go to pay for subscriptions, the other half of it used for the benefit of the league membership, which was to be limited to 1,000,000 persons. "This was to give the league an endowment of .$2(5,- 000,000; but the league was also to own tho publishing company, the real estate at University City and a bank, which would become enormouslv rich through handling the uusmess ana iiuuis or rue puoiisning company, real csrare and the league. From these sources the income of the league was figured to be $3,S00,000 annually. "Lewis' statement shows that the league is not' paying its own expenses, that, instead of being run on the income from paid endowment, it has through Lewis' exclusive management, used up its entire capital and is $800,000 in debt. Add to this the $1,200,000 debentures to be paid later, and we have a debt of $2,000,000 against the league. On his own statements the funds belonging to the league and intrusted to him on his promises to give an account of them have been misappropriated. No endowment has been made. Lewis has disposed of everything. The league is $800,000 in debt on his accounting, and members hold $1,- 00,000 In notes besides. "The great educational university consists, for the most part, at least, of correspondence lessons. Lewis arranged for these lessons by contracts with three existing concerns, and without consent of the intructors associatedwith these schools catalogued their names. Many of them have never heard of cither Lewis or Lis university. "The American "Woman's league is one of the largest and most alluring and most fraudulent of the schenies of E. G. Lewis. In the extravagance of his promises he has attracted women of many classes and temperaments. Cul ture and educational advantages appeal to their ambition, a clubhouse appeals to their social instincts and civic pride, an orphanage for children and a home for the aged to their charity, and an independent income and freedom from do mestic drudgery and masculine domination to a discon tented and unfortunate class. "Not a single essential promise has been kept. There is no endowment of the league, nor founders' chapter, nor annuity, nor orphanage, nor old ladies' home; the league does not own the land promised it, nor the publishing com pany, nor the bank; membership may be purchased for cash; clubhouses are not built as promised; instead of $3, 800,000 annual income, it is, in debt more than $2,0Q0,000. "The American "Woman's league was a frudulent scheme on its face. Its record has confirmed its text. It was a mere name given to the women whom Lewis had in veigled into his service as subscription agents. lie hoped, through the league, to defeat postal laws and regulations under which he had rcrcviouslv been prevented from circu lating his papers free at the. pound rate of postage. By promising me women rewuras aim proms mv in excess oi the cost of subscriptions he induced them to remit in bulk for coupons for subscriptions, which they might sell or give away. The remittance would constitute a reward to satisfy the postal inspectors. The correspondence courses and clubhouses and association of other publishers would inspire confidence, and when this was established a borrowing scheme could be inaugurated to collect mil- SHIPMENTS OF FRUIT HEAVY Forty Three Cars of Cherries Midi Sixteen of Apricots, Thrco Each of Peaches anil Plums From Call fornla During Past Season.
