Hut during the whole day of the frolic it was a jierfect southern Oregon sunshine, nt least in Phoenix. This may be partly duo to the suc cessful afford of the Mople of that town, especially J)r. T. J. Mnlnigren and his wife, and the J. L. Johnson fnrnily, to properly entertain visitors. Towards dark a largo portion of the population of Phoenix, headed by the band, marched to T. J. KMi's grove to sereundo tho Northmen. Hut tho Scandinavian-! had jumped and played, talked and flirted, eaten and chanted the whole day until they were hoarse and footsore; therefore tho remainders packed themselves in a transfer automobile and were haul ed .to Medford, without being able, to, participate in the final round up of tho Phoenixitcs. Tho picnic ground was decorated with the various national colors; and a beautiful May-pole occupied the center, around which folk-games to the tune of native singing were in pcrptual motion during the whole dny. A short program of speaking and singing was rendered; but the crowd was in no mood for intelcctunl or ar istio instruction. They were there to have fun, and they got it. Dr. F. 0. Swedenburg invited the society to hold its next picnic in Ashland. Yells of approval echoed through the woods. Telephones, railroads, and other modern improvements hnve in later yenrs largely crowded out the beauti ful folk-games in tho Scandinavian countries. Amusements have been commercialized, oven under the shad ow of the North Pole. Hardly uny nltempts bavo been madn by the Scandinavian Americans to introduce those gaieties in this country. Tlip guthering nt Phoenix was undoubted ly ns fine re-production of the set'iics of a typical Scandinavian jwiuHummcr-icuhi 01 nuiuireds years ago as has ever been presented in America, outside of gonio of tlio lar ger cities. Over one hundred and fifty people participated in the jollification. All ages from eighty years to eight months wero represented. A Yule feast will bo held at Medford next Christmas, when it is tho intention of tho society to stage some of the simpler folk-games. THE MAIL TRTBUNK, along with overv other paper ..

Hcspcctfully, t W. K. JOHNSON. " Associate .Kdltor. Tn other words, the Anti-Saloon league, .which is a political organization, nslSthe newspapers' of Oregon to print free of charge, jiundreds of columns of. matter, advo cating its propaganda and in addition requests Miat copies of tho paper he sent it, also free of charge. The news paper publisher is expected to give awav thousands o dollars of space the only product he has to sell to help salaried, hut non-tax-paying, non-residents dictate the policies of Oregon. If the efforts of the league are successful, it will he at the expense of the country newspapers, while the league officials, drawing increased salaries, invade other states, leaving Oregonians to hold the sack and pay the piper for the ensuing dance of disillusion and industrial depression that inevitably follows adoption of state wide prohibition. The other day tho Anti-Saloon league had a four col umn advertisement in the Portland papers, paid for sit high rates. If the league has money to pay the city pa pers for its matter, whv not also pav the countrv press'? vny discriminator dimply heoause the city pa pel's can not be "worked," and some of the simple-minded coun try editors can be, and the astute gentlemen managing the League figure it a waste of monev, to pav for what thev can graft. Here is an Associated Press dispatch that explains the system: Portland, Ore, June UC. Prohibition party leaders and workers, at th second day of their conference here, listened to addresses on how to carry on r successful campaign. K. A. Howell, state publicity nt;ent o( tho party, said that no movement ever succeeded without the help of news papers, and ho detailed to tho state workers how to bo their own press agents and "put their stories over" In tho newspapers. Yet there is no dearth of money in the prohibition treasury. Plans are made for the expenditure of tens of thousands of dollars this year to make Oregon dry. Whole sale invasions are scheduled from the cast." City papers, bill-boards, speakers, halls, railroads, officials aiid work el's are to be paid but the latter are instructed how to "put one over" on the country press, which is expected to deliver the goods without pav. "When Representative Hobson failed by H0,000 votes to secure the Alabama senatorial nomination, alter a veal's campaign on a dry platform, the Anti-Saloon league at once emploved him at a salary of $10,000 a voar. Other league officials' are drawing similarly fanc.y.salariel.--.NTo wonder the agitation is unending. Why should it cease, when keeping it up provides such a fancy payroll? There arc the general officers, the state officers, the division offi cers, the county officers, the organizers, the agents, the ward heelers, all drawing good salaries. There are ex- governors, near statesmen, has-beens, lame-ducks, and ex tanks, drawing pay as spell-binders. Several hundred clergymen from boss-ridden rotten burroughs of the east are coming to tell Oregonians how to manage the state; they will be paid as well as their expenses. There seems to be monev galore in fighting the demon rum, for every one except the newspaper man and there will be money for him if he demands it. His editorial opinions, should be his own and not for sale his advertis ing columns, in justice to his regular advertisers, should be charged for at good rates to whoever pays the price. If the laborer is worthy of his hire, the advertisement is worth its price especially when the issue involved is poli tical and economic, rather than moral.

Hut when tho tariff bad been passed It was found that tho readjustment was posslblo without any serious disturb ance whatever.
