T? OR months the columns of the villnge press of .Tnck-
- son countv have reeked with accusations against the
"Medford gang" running the county court.
Mio is there in Medtord that comprise this gang
What citizens in Medford have personally profited by the
expenditures of county money? What has Medford ever
asked of the county court, more than other cities have
isked?
This is all campaign clap trap and guff, started by the
opponents of progress and of road bonds, in order to se
cure the election of an Ashland non-progressive as county
judge.
Medford pays more taxes bv fiftv percent than all
other cities in Jackson county put together. It has re
ceived less in countv expenditures. 'Phis eitv is entitled

JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
Gcntlo Converse.
You may have a hazy notion
What a cabby might remark
Should ho chance to meet a chauf
feur All alone and in the dark.
And perhaps you think a barger
Doesn't bristle like a thug
When ho" meets in conversation
With the captain of a tug.
No, the language that is loosened
Won't exactly lull to sleep,
When a man who's punching cattle
Meets a man who's herding sheep;
But the art of profane diction
Never yet has dared aspire
To the record made by rangers
To the soldiers fighting fire.
A coward is a man who dares not
eomo out in open and make a big
bluff.
toimty judge, the village papers denounced him as a can
iUtl;ii of the "Medford gang" who "hoped to keep their
hands in the countv trcasurv." When Mavor Canon was
mentioned, he was the candidate of this same conspiring
gang and the plot thickened for "Med ford's master pol
il'rian." When Mr. Merrick announced his candidacy, of
-.urse He also is accused ol being tlio gangs choice.
'onuuissioner fr. L. Davis is the "instrument or the
gam:.'' When he resigns, he is denounced worse for get
fin ut than he was for staving in. His resignation is
pictured as part of a foul plot. Frank Brown is named to
fill the vacancy, lie is denounced before he takes his
seat as the "tool of the Medford gang'' and so it goes,
sill; rot and lolly verging on the edge ot Jibel.
As a matter of fact, it does not make any difference
.is to the ability or standing or reputation of the candi
date it is simply a case of petty village animosity and
jealousy.
No one that could be suggested for county judge in
an part of the county would satisfy these knockers, ex
cept an Ashland unprogressivc- and the animus and object
of all the mud-slinging, all the slander, all the graft insin
uation is simply to secure the election of George W. Dunn
as county judge, a man
Tried four years and found wanting.
Who increased taxes without auvthing to show for it
except a reduced county indebtedness that profited the
warrant shavers and cent-per-cent sharks,
Who built no tjood roads and no bridges, and left no
enduring monuments to mark his regime,
Too narrow, too prejudiced, too limited to guide a pro
gressive county in its most important era of development.

During tho past week the Orego
nlan lias printed two interviews with
Taft'B aunt Delia, showing why he
should be nominated. It Is up to the
other candidates to rustle up their
aged relatives.
THE Portland Oregonian and the Portland Telegm
are to be congratulated for (somewhat tardilv) t'
lowing the example of The Mail Tribune and other first
class family newspapers and cutting out the filthy fake
specialist and obscene quack-doctor ads. With a few other
eliminations, these dailies will be fit for .family perusal.
The sacrifice to decency made by such newspapers will
be better appreciated when it is known tlnit this adver
tising has paid the Oregonian $30,000 a year and the
Telegram $32,000 a year. For many years these journals
otteuded their readers and promoted fraud, by furnishing
these human vultures their afflicted prey tor a cash con
sideration. The Oregonian is evidently taking to heart the lec
t'lres given by The Mail Tribune on newspaper ethics.
1 1' it keeps progressing, it may in time realize what decent
i ("jde think of it for advertising falsehoods about polit
ical frauds and quacks, like the unspeakable Lafferty,
simply because the.y are paid for.
Thr ijuaoks and nostrums have retired to the Port
lanil Journal, where thev are making a final stand. The
Journal, an excellent newspaper in many ways1 probably
ijcids tho money, for its columns are filled with those
adwrfifsciiicnts which the Oregonian and Telegram now
tdinit unfit for publication, tt is easy to be virtuous
wlu-n it doesn't cost anything perhaps our enemies
uiiuhi say that's why The Mail Tribune is virtuous.
Oik- thing the elimination of quack advertising will
do -and that is open the way for the legitimate practi
' inner to advertise. There is no reason why the physician
and surgeon should not advertise as well as any other
business man and in course of time, with the fakir out
. f tbo rrvul lie will.
