Senator McNury, it seems has tlie Gilford support, Mayor Baker
hag the anti-Oil'ford support, and Kubli has the up-state Klan support,
lint unless the internecine strife between the Gifford and anti-Clifford
factions is soon terminated, which seems unlikely, the support of
any Klan faction will bo a liability instead of an asset.
So the members of the senatorial-aspirant-triumvirato 'are; wor
ried. To purchase the support of one third, for the opposition of two
thirds, looks like neither (food politics nor good business, and if the
above diagnosis is correct, no one can 'blame Messers. McNaryy Kubli:
And Baker for being on the anxious seat. ' ' ;. ' '
But to adopt a somewhat over-used expression' "We should
worry." If any candidate for a seat in the United States senate, has
bargained with any section of the Ku Klux Klan for support, thcn.be
deserves to be beaten. , If such a candidate,, by such action receives a
quince instead of a plum, then he gets precisely what he deserves. ,

I don't make the welkin ring until I've squared up all my bills.
There aro some splendid, noble men who go among us doing good,s
while yet they owe the groat and yen for groceries hats and wood.
iAnd while they point us to the stars, and bid us climb the snow
capped hills, some mini who deals in punk cigars is wishing they
would pay their bills. They come to town and hiro a hall, and we
attend with eager ears; they are inspired, they have a call to guide
us to the nobler spheres. In rounded periods they soar, till every
breast with rapture fills; ami some sad grocer, in his store is Wish
ing they would pay their bills. We learn their record soon or late
such records follow those who roam; we are informed by some
tired skato that they are deadbeats when at home. It. is a shook

zle. The remedy'
for this is a nice union suit of light
weight all wool (or that which passes
as such nowadays) or wool anti .silk
mixed balbriggan, with stockings of
similar matorlul.
Practically, wool is the most satis-,
factory material for winter under-,
wear; the modern knitted porous ma-'
terlnl which I call balbriggan (no
special brand) is porous enough -to
pormlt freo. evaporation of porspira-
tlon, is not irritiiting or itchy like the
old time flannel underwear and if the
proper weight is selected to meet in
dividual requirements is comfortable
without being too warm.
Young porsons who spend much
tlmo indoors should select tho light
est weight; elderly persons or those
much exposed in tho open should se
lect a medium heavy weight. Indoor
workers should always bear 'In mind
that they are woarlng underclothing
fon comfort, not to keep warm; . if ono
sclocta tho right material and weight
of underwear one may threw off or
put on outer wraps or coats to suit
any whim or freak of weather. Tho
main advantage of wool over cotton
or . linen for underwear in the -colder
season of the year is not that the wool
Is warmer; but that wool Is a slower
conductor of heat; a suit of such
undorwear therefore protects he cir
culation against the strain of a thous

a lower heat conductor than wool. A

THE GKEATEST THING IJf THE
WORLD
by Laurol Qrov
The Tlo nt Sympathy
j Terhaps one- of tho most curious
revelations of human character la the
enthusiasm with which we succumb
to sympathy.'; It is astonishing how
. ' ' ; "thoroughly alone
each one of us Is.
Truo, we havo
-our parents and
our brothers and
sisters nnd our
business associ
ates and our play
fellows. But
somehow thore Is
an inst 1 n c 1 1 v o
hunger In the
human soul
which crayos a
sympathetic kin
ship, an under
standing, a faith and nn intimacy
which only ono person In tho world
can satisfy, lbanez, the Spanish nov
elist, who Is not nt all a poor analyst,
tries to dismiss this instinctive hunger
In our hearts with tho rather dreadful
word: Sex! Perhaps, (n a blologlcnl
sense, this Is correct. But the bad
plays and the bad novels and the bad
movies have tinctured "sex" with a
shameful coloring that fends one of
even tho most liberal tendencies away.
It seems to mo that the craving for
heart-sympathy Is a bolter designa
tion than "the sex attraction" altho
It may all be to the same ends. When
tho fires of youth are cooled and tho
desire for "a kick out o' llfo" Is dimin
ished It Is still a heart-hungor for
human sympathy and understanding
that inspires us and gives even the
drabbest comnion-placos of , llfo a
fairer aspect. One may conquer the
stulibornest will with sympathy, kind
ness nnd understanding. And It is.
oh. so true when one loves and Is
loved. 1 beliovo that -when rnr wrote,
"you ran lead a horse to water, but

author must have had- a. lover In

For obvious reasons tho name of the business man whose, report is
ffiven labovo. can't be announced, but. tWH is a, tona fide report volun
tarily inade by a representative business man oi this city. It is un
doubtedly true that there is scarcely, business man in Medford who
isn't eitjoying a better 'and more profitable, business today than ever
before in Medford 's history. j , i,
- Conclusion. ,,,,
These charts today complete the economic survey of Medford. As
was'stated at the. outset a complete survey of the city and surrounding
country, or an exhaustive sutvoy ia a,ny .one, department was not at
tempted. ..):.'.-
What was attempted, and what we believe has been, accomplished,
was to show by the presentation of official facts supported by undis
puted evidence,: that Medford 's business conditions today . are better
than they were in. those good old boom days, better 'than they ever
have been 'before. . j
There have beon varying degrees of growth and ,. betterment,
shown in'Wriou's departments, ranging all the way .from 50 to 5000
per cent; but in every instance from sewer permits to telephones, from
produce shipments tQ tourist .travol, from building permits to bunk
deposits THESE HAS BEEN' GROWTH, consistent, substantial,
wholesome growth.. tMoreovcr in not a single in-stanoe has there beon
ti' decline of recent date, and in every instance the record of 1923
HAS SURPASSED THE RECORD OF ANY PREVIOUS YEAR IN
THE CITY'S HISTORY. f , , . .
So there is Medford as she is totlay, in every way bigger and bet
ter than ever before, a statement based not on hot air or guess work
but on the solid foundation of the official records. ,,. , . ,
And what is tho moral?. : The moral as we see it, is this:
Medford has more, of everything today than she ever had before
except spirit.- By "spirit" we moan civic spirit, the old-time Medford
spirit, tho spirit of enthusiasm, of self-confidence of united aggressive
effort, the spirit of faith in our city, faitji in our selves, the faith to
do things, big things,,in o big way. . .
" That spirttlrlbe 'only-thing-we- need now ta achieve the benefits
which tho material conditions justify. It shouldn't be difficult. For
