T The lnui'lci'iilli successful conceii V'ns yivni by llic Mi'iU'urd c.nncerl 'band lit Ibe city park on Tuesday evening. Is it the change from Kri ility to Tuesday evening or is the steady musical improvement of ltiiml Inaslcr Uowluud's musicians that week after week continues lo increase the crowd Dili' t l 1 li luilld hits un doubtedly set a new record in brin jn the allendanee ut llic coneerls ,to what il is. Mr. Rowland niul his Joyal musicians are justly entitled lo the volumes of praise bespol en by til" Inmilrcils of music lovers of Mcilford. Tuesday evenings program was us niueli enjoyed as any of the prereiliiu: programs. A notieuble feature was 'ho enlire absence of rag-time, selec tions more musical even if Ihev were ralher ipiict for till1 perk were Mip jilc.neiiti'd, I)iiriiii; ibe siiniuicr several musi cians from oluside points have prof fered Ibeir n-sistaiit'e for ihe concerts Jint the bandmaster thought it inad visable ! enter into any such iir riingeinciils, ovviny to the uncertainty of regular attendance ami ihe gen eral wish of the eitieus to maintain only ii "Mcilford bund."

Arrangements for entertaining the guests are completed, save, the fag end of the Crater Lake trip. For that a few more cars are needed. It is of first importance that this fea ture should be an entire success, for Inst year's convention was scheduled for another Southern Oregon clly, which offered to take the guests to Crator Lake and absolutely fell down a month before tho date set, and the convention was held at Salem. Mcd fonl Is to make good on thu plan, whore another city failed. The committee is sadly handi capped by the fact that the Elks bavo set their fish fry for tho snmo day.

APPEALS FOR AID IN ENTERTAIIEN" OF STATE EDITORS To the public; Tho Oregon State Editorial Asso ciation, which is to be held In Med ford Friday and Saturday of this week, promises to be one of the most Important gatherings which has ever visited this city. It offers a brilliant opportunity to our citizens to attract the admiration and retain the good will of representative men from every live community In tho state. No citi zen of any town enjoys a greater power to Influence public opinion than does tho editor of a local news paper, and the citizens of Medford should not neglect any attention to our coming guests, which will leave a lasting impression of the hospi tality for which our city Is already noted. The hotels of Medford have already responded generously to the Invitation of the Comercial Club com mltteo by arranging to place at the service of our editorial visitors, free of charge, all of their available va cant rooms for the two days of their stay, here, In spite of the heavy tour ist travel at this season of the year. They, will not, however, be able to tako euro of all those who have signi fied their Intention of attending the convention; tho committee estimates that about 15 more rooms will be needed than 'the hotels can furnish, and tliey now have appealed to pub lic spirited citizens of Medford to tako caro of tho overflow. 'Rooms only are needed, ns all other entertainment will be provided for. Any citizen who can place a room In his houso.at the service of one of our guests Friday and Satur day of this week, without charge, will confer a favor on the committee and do the community a service by telephoning Hie undersigned at the Hotel Holland, without delay, ns we must know beforo the arrival of the delegates where to place them.

First, the effort to repeal the Sabbath observance law. The law as it stands is not just whut we would wish hut to repeal it nnd ienve the stale without a Sahhuth ob servance would be very unwise. "The measure which will forbid the importation of all liiiior for beverage purposes into the state will nppcnl to all moral voters. Those that found fault with the Anderson bill becniise it allowed the shipping in of small amounts of liipior should now get busy end work for this amendment ; as you well know, no measuer will enrry itself no mutter how good it is. It must lie supported by votes at the polls. And who is going to solicit lliose votesf The iiuswer-'jsj very plain lo be sure. The friends of the measure against the foes., . .
