The live merchant is one who makes some news every day. in bargains that nit met people, and henee increases business. If the merchant has no bargains to offer, nothing worth while telling the people, naturally he does not advertise. Some merchants never advertise unless they are having a sacrifice sale selling all goods at cost or new it. Tho more goods they sell, the less money they make. They effectually demoralize their own business. The wise merchant is the one who makes a leader of some one or few items daily and sells them sit cost or near it, to attract custom. AVheu a line moves slowly, the merchant on to his job, puts on a sale io stimulate it. Then it is the next line and so on, until the season's close finds onlv odds nnd ends which a sacrifice sale cleans up. The merchants that follow this policy sire the ones that succeed. The mcrchsints that do not advertise, silwavs sie- cumulnte n lot of junk on which they lose money. Thev soon become bnek numbers. They cannot stand competition. The live merchant is keen advantage of them. He goes after business and gets it. lie takes the buying public into bis confidence and his news items bring tho business. How many Med ford merchants hsive tnken sulvsintsige of the parcel post to go after runners' business' A good many of them howl becnuse the farmer doesn't chase his legs off to buy of them. Why should he when the mail order houses chase himf The home merchants can make deliveries by parcel post cheaper than the mail order con cerns. Why don't they go after the business? Since the parcel post wsis established, the Mail Tribune has not car ried an nd from n single merchsint offering the fsirmer free delivery by it. Isn't it news worth telling customers? ONLY ONE REAL PATRIOT. SINCE the defent of his protege Clisunp Clnrk for the nomination, William Randolph Hem's t lists been seek ing mi opportunity to bolt the democratic pnrty to which he had tempornrilv pledged his support. The opportunitv has been found mid Mr. Henrst nnd his papers can be expected henceforth to oppose President Wilson nnd his policies. There sire three counts in the indictment. The president committed sin unpnrdonnble sin when he reverted to the custom established by George Washington and rend his messnge to congress, instead of sending it by messenger nnd having it rend by a clerk. This awful' net is stamped by Mr. Henrst ns Fedemlistic, Monarchistic, and un-Aincricnn. The second count in the indictment is an old one, dating from the college days of Woodrow Wilson, whose thesis described the British parliamentary system ns superior to the Amcricnn in accomplishing results which it certainly is. The third charge is a most serious one. The president subscribes for the weekly edition of the London Times in- stend of Hearst's American, British tory hues, nnd is in effect n British tree trnder instead of si yellow American, therefore the proposed tariff is a Brit ish measure. , There is only one simon-pure American in the nation, only one whose patriotism soars constantly to lofty heights, only one who is really fitted thsit one, needless to ssiy, for is Willisim Jinndolph Hearst. He hsis strenuously sug gested himself for the office nisuiy times sind the sugges tion nlwnys meets si warm welcome from Mr. Ileni'st. He won't be happy till he gets it. Then, and not till then, will wc know whsit true Americanism and psttriotisin is. TURN ABOUT FAIR PLAY. t ' ' IFSv. Pnrkison is in earnest in his desire to consolidstte the higher educational institutions of the state by means of giving the peoplo si chance to vote on killing the state university by again referendiug its appropriations, in or der to prove that bis assertions sire in good faith stud that he is not playing fnvorities, he should also invoke the referendum againsl the Oregon Agricultural College ap propriations. The people can then vote on killing it also, for every argument sulvanced against one institution sip plics equally against the ofber. If we miist have referendums, smd we are only to have one, let us vary it this time. Twice it has been invoked against the university. Let us try it sigainst the Agricul tural College. Tunuibout Is fair piny. It would ndd to the occasion to find out how the people stand on sin O. A. C. appropriation. They have never had a chance to vote on one. The institution is si much greater lax-enter than the university, costs si great deal more and is no more useful in results. indeed, if the referendum is to be invoked on the uni versity, without question of doubt, it will also be invoked on the 0. A. C. Then there will be several other measures submitted for consolidation and the whole educational problem put up to the people. Medford might get the consolidated institution sit any rate it is worth going after, and this city has climatic smd other sidvnntnges tbstt no other Oregon city has. If Psirki son goes abend with his referendum, sin 0. A. C. referen dum will then put both institutions on the bnlnnee nnd mnkcMedford's opportunity, PRISONER BURNS TO DEATH IN JAIL CELL STKHLING, 111., April JO.

SIX-YEAR-OLD SON SEATTLE. Wash.. April III. An parcntly uucourcriied as to his fate, C. A. .Johnson is under conviction to. day for first degree murder for tho death of his six year old son, Doug las. Johnson stepped in front of a ms- scitgcr train on December II last, with tho hoy in his arms, intending to end his own life also. Knlo decreed he should live. His injuries were a broken leg uud it deep gush in tho head. His attorney, John P. Dorc. set up an insanity defense. Tho jury wns out oiil.v.ouc hour yesterdny nnd brought in a verdict of guilty. When rescued from under the train Johnson pleaded for immediate death. This, however, will probably be de nied him. While tho now law abol ishing tho death ciiatty docs not go into effect until June II, lawyers contend no hanging can bo legally ordered now. BIGGESI EGG EVER UUD SKATTI.B. Wash..
