JOLTS AND JJNGLES By Ad Brawn At tho death of our political hopes, how innuy of us will commit hnri karif Suggestion to the German club: Why not entertain in fitting mnner fof Dr. Edward Bruckner, Dr. Fritz Machistschek and Dr. Eugene Ober hummer, of the Geographical society. One man who offered his automo bile Xor the Crater lake trip stipulated that he should not be asked to take the Russian delegation, fearing that surplus consonant might become en tangled in the stealing gear. A ,speaking nbout the Tower of Babe, the old lake is going to hear more queer sounds tluiii it has since old Nature placed it there. Let us hope that the scientists will tiot leave us without taking a look at that ancient and interesting fetruc ture, our opery house. in i i d Tho P. & . depot should be dragged before their. tartled gaze as an example of early American archi tecture. To W. Ladimir Doubenski, Jules Schokalsky and others of the expedi tion we send this word of welceme: "The keysky of the eityoff is yours- ovitch."

Tho orgnnlxn tlon conslstod of four teams Holsc, Walla Walla, Pendleton and I .a Grande. Pcndlton finished thlrtl, misusing second place by only two games. Osborne states that two of his southern Oregon team mates "Curly" Wilson of Jacksonville and "Kid" Under of Medford, acquitted them solvcs well, each batting over .300. Wilson played right field and Under, who was "lead-off" man all season, covered third base. Tho latter will attend tho University of Oregon nt Eugene this winter. The Portland club still has a "string" on Osborne, and ho wilt re port to tho McCredles next spring. COMMUNICATIONS Patronize Home Industry To Iho Editer: The writer would npprccinto it if you would puli.-li the followng in your communication column : For n number of months the Mail Tribune hns led n fight, seeking lo induco residents of Medford and the valley to patronize homo industries aud to purchaso supplies, ns far n possible, from local merchants. The object of this is, of course, to build up the iudustries of the community and to- keep money at home. Those nt the head of this movement call for the co-operation of all and right ly feel that those failing to respond show n lack of interest in tho wel fare of the valley. But it is just possible that the merchants, themselves fail in many instances to do their part in further ing this program. It is a well-known fact that the groceries or fmit stands will favor California potatoes, ber ries, or vegetables, if a few cents can be" saved by So doing. " But it is well, in making such n statement to give a definite instance instead of dealing in generalities, so the writer will take the liberty of describing conditions that came under his observation a year ago. As is well known, it is the custom every fall iu the different or chards to ship tlie fancy and choice apples, the culls being saved for lo cal consumption. These culls are sound, mature apples, but, iu our strict system or grading, only slight defects arc sufficient to throw them out of the ensteni shipment. In the past there has been no trouble in dis posing of these to local merchants at a reasonable figure. In fact the sale of this class of apples has been n considerable item in the books of the orchardist. Instead of this con dition last fall, two carloads of Cali fornia Belleflowers were shipped into the valley and almost every grocery nuu lrini stand in iUedloru was stocked with this fruit. The excuse cannot be offered that its quality was Mijerior for it was distinguished neither for .-lppcunmcc nor keeping qualities. It was n disgrace to the section that shipped it and could not compure with our Spitzcnbcrgs or Kewtowns. For the same price, one dollar per box, the merchant could have obtained apples that, though not u fancy grade, would Ituvc been handsomer and have kept months longer than the miserable California fruit. With all due respect to this new movement it seems to tho writer that the merchant should reciprocate with the gurdener and the orchardist if the "Made iu Medford" idea is to bo a rcull success. L.

Who Dr. Wiley Supports for President and Why (Hy Harvey W. Wiley, former chcm- 1st of the United States depart ment of agriculture.) My nppenl Is chiefly to thos-o who, like myself, havo been lifelong re publicans. I heltoto that tin Kind of an administration Is going to ruin tho country. I have a high personal rcgaru tor cacn one oi tno can ill dntesNfor president and vlcc-prcsl-dont on all the ticket. All the pol itical platforms aro mainly sound and all promise effort In behalf of tho wholo people. My choice Is not based on a platform. It was deter-' mined by my Impressions of the real attitude of tho candidates re specting tho public welfare. Two of the candidates have al ready been tried Iu the presidential chair and we know by experience what may be expected If either of them resumes his former seat on March -I, 1913. Mr. Roosevelt by reason of his attitude townrd tho food and drug act abandoned the consumers of tho country to tho rapacity of n few mercenary manu facturers. ' Under authority of con gress I Jind carried on extenstvo ex periments with my so-called poison squad and found that certain sub stances, viz., benzoic compounds, sulfurous compounds and sulphate of copper (bluestone) were Injur ious to health. The law conferred upon mo, as chief of the bureau of chcmlHtry, tho duty of acting as a grand Jury and'of the prominent democrats In con determining whether foods and drugs wcro adulterated or mlsbrnnd cd. Instead of appealing from my decisions to tho courts ns the law requires, the users of theso poisons appealed to President Roosevelt. He not only listened to them, but ho th rogated tho plain provisions of tho law, nppolnted a board not contem plated by tho law and directed that these predatory Interests might con tlnuo, their attacks on tho health of tho people until this board, unknown-to the law, should decide oth erwise. Selling and (From tho Ashland Record.) Ben Selling mado his campaign of Klamath county in n high-power auto and spread presents to whlto men and Indians and ndvcrtlscd his per sonality abundantly. Ho was within twenty-two miles of Crater lake, but didn't feel tho Influence of this great est of nature's magnificent wonders. It hnd no significance to htm. Immedlatclyrfiftcr the Chicago con vention Portland roportors Interview ed Bon on tho subject of whether or not ho would support Taft. As ho had previously been chairman of tho Taft campaign commlttco In Oregon and was appointed ns such by Tuft when he was In Oregon a year ago, It would seem he could havo answer ed that question Instantaneously. Ho asked for a few (Jays to read tho ac counts of the newspapers. Tho next heard from him ho hnd loft tho state and buried himself far away from reporters In Yellowstono National park, whoro ho remained hid all . summer. After returning from his summer dream, In a soft pedal voice ho announcod ho was for Taft. This Is tho sumo selling that complained that IJourno was not a senator for Orogon and therefore It waB necessary for Hen to bocomo a candldato In order that "Orogon First" may bo maintained, As state senator from Portland this samo Selling fought tho bill for a 100,000 wagon road appropriation to Crater lako with all tho Influonco at his command. Falling fn his ef forts to destroy tho bill ho attempted to cut tho appropriation ono half. On tho floor of tho senate ho ridi culed tho lako as an usset to tho stato and sneered at tho efforts of tho broadest minded and most intelligent people of tho stato for tholr efforts to bring this world enthralling won der to tho attention of tho pooplo everywhere, This QxnlbUtyn 9 Ms MEDFORD, OREGON, SATURDAY. SEPTENWER 1 GOVERNOR OF VERMONT. HoysK. v; It L nluioat certain that Mr. Iflctche Can wo safely trust tho . u;nlcn for public health to Mr. ItoosoveltT I cannot bellevo that to bo tho prop er course.

In tho matter of tho adulteration of distilled barrage. In which Roosevelt uphold1 the legal ly constituted authorities,-. Mr. Taft rcvorsed that policy and threw the mighty weight of tho ctcctttlvo of fleo to tho support of tho worst lot of adulterators that oer disgraced a country. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Marshall by their strenuous efforts In behalf of the food Inwa of their respective states havo given a positive promise to end such n threatening stnto of affairs. They will support lo tho ut most the officials under tho law who aro trying to protect tho public health and will mnko short shrift of thoso who have brought about theao pres ent unbearable conditions. Wilson nnd Marshall, by tholr ed ucation and environment aro frco from bias In favor bf predatory Inter ests nnd are Inspired by truo patriotic zeal In behalf of public welfare. I support tho Democratic nomin ees In tho full-knt-wlodRd thnt'Tnnny gross have been In full sympathy with tho paralysis of tho food law In behalf of tho unholy dollar. Hut when tho democratic president and vice-president lend tho aid of their powerful sympathy In bohalf of tho public health those of their own parti- not In sympathy with them will bo robbed of their, power for ovll. If Roosevelt or Taft bo chosen tho sol- dlors of fraud and adulteration will bo imprcgnnbty entrenched for an other four years nnd benzoates, sul fites and adulterated alcoholic bev erages will havo a new lenso of life. Crater Lake point of view disclosing n mind bar ren of Interest In any mensuro Hint did not come within tho scopo of his dollar-restricted vision wan pitiable. There never was a more propltous undertaking for tho enlargement of Crater lako's Influonco In tho world thnn on that occasion. Garfield was secretary of tho Interior and Plnchot was chlof forester and tho entire crow of Roosevelt's appointees wore en thusiastic over tho mntlor. FedornL money was nbundunt nnd from this source 1200.000 was promised. K. II. Harrlmaii, who mado his summer homo at Pelican Hay Lodge and declared Crater lnko tho great est scenic wondor of tho world, pledged lf.0,000 personally and prom ised his Influence with tho Harrlman lines for more, Tho stato appropri ation called for an equal amount from tho two counties of Jackson and Klamath, $50,000 each, From ovory quarter tho hour hud struck and for onco thoro was a unit ed pull all together to bring Crator lako to tho world's attention.
