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.

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

didn't feel tho Influence of this great

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.

It L nluioat certain that Mr. Iflctche
Can wo safely trust tho . u;nlcn

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

ent unbearable conditions.
Wilson nnd Marshall, by tholr ed
