Notice.
Tho Di'iiK'i'ralif. < '••ulral Committee
will hold a session in Medford on
Monday afternoon, .luno 17. Uusi-
noss of importance will ronjp up for
consideration.
THH PRIMARY SYSTL:M.
Tho primnry system of nominating
candidates 1ms proven very unsatisfac-
so far as we have seen its workings.
It \v:i ■ urgueil by its friends that there
would tie no sore spots to heal, there
would be no trades or combinations be-
tween candidates, that, in fact, all the
objections which have been urged
agaist the delegate convention system,
would be eliminated. This, we know,
has not been accomplished. So far we
have heard more knocking than ever
before, and believe that some sores
have been made that will take some
time to heal.
We believe that candidates have
found it a rather expensive way of get-
ting before the people. We are con-
vinced that, under the primary system,
none but the wealthy can afford to run
for the higher offices within the gift of
the state, or the people. We are pret-
ty well satisfied with the nominees of
this first trial and hope that the party
will, unitedly, put their shoulder to the
wheel and "boost" till the election
comes
The Star will conduct a clean cam-
nai"'ii and t ni.-t." that each and every
candidate will do the same. If the op-
position expert us to lie awake nights
and con cod villanous 1 — stories about
their < andidute so th.it they may give
us erediT of h I- in" i oiiducled a "vig-
orous" <'anip:iitru. we will say right
here to the g, o. p papers, please dis-
abuse your minds, for we'll not do it.
We have nevei seen any good come
from such ta< lies. Those who partici-
pate in this sort of eampaigns only
lose their prestige, and after awhile
will not be able to influcnrea single
vote, We stop right here to say. we've
got to see a "heap" yet, before we
will like the primaries.

Dou't miss this glorious celebration
if you do you will miss the time of

Chairman Com.
Bu/town, State of Agitation,
Dear Marinda: — No doubt you are
wondering why you have had no let-
ter from me, but I have been here
long enough to learn to do as the
rest all do, tend to other people's
business and neglect my own.
You see Marinda, we are so busy
011 this prohibition questiou. It is
no matter how good a citizen a man
is, no matter if he be honest and
straight forward in every way. If he
ever enters a saloon he is a man no
one must associate with, and all must
give him a black eye,
Then again we are moralists, we
ueak around and spy on people and
stand in the post office and half hear
conversations and misunderstand
them and report them wrong, and you
know all this helps in a town. Some
of us realize, if we didn't keep snarl-
ing and scratching and roasting we
would not lie noticed, so we have to
do our best to be as mean as possible.
,-Vnd all these people who don't fol-
low 1 ight after our ideas they are
classed with the lost and ignorant.
You know 1 always respected gray
hair and took off my hat to old ladies.
But since coming here Marinda, I
think jjome old ladies take advantage
of age to insult people. •
Some of the petty schemes that has
come under my notice both political
and otherwise will result as Burns
says: "The best laid scheme o' mice
and men gang aft agley, and leave
us naught but grief and pain." most
always in raking up past dirt, belong-
ing to others, after a time the wirid
will veer and the raker gets the dirt
and dust, and this is as it should be.
Will write more soon on the pro-
hibition question. Yours

American Newspaper Annual.
The Star has received the new 1907
American Newspaper annual, and after
a careful examination, we wonder how
we got along without it. There are
questions which came up daily, about
towVis and what newspapers they have,
and we feel that the information is as
near correct as can be gotten.
There is no end of information about
newspapers in the American Newspa-
per Annual (published by N. W. Ayer
& Son, Philadelphia, $5.00 net), the
1907 edition of which is just out. Cat-
alogued in simple, tabulated form, are
the facts one needs in dealing with
newspapers, with particular attention
to circulations, which are all given in
plain figures.
There are supplementary lists of daily
newspapers, magazines and class pub-
lications. A colored map of each state
is bound in the book. It also contains
for the first time the Advertisers' Tele-
graph Code, complied especially for
the use of the publishing interests and
tilling a long-felt want in this direction.
No newspaper should be withou it.

nets and harness. Call and see him.

Socialist Mass Convention.
The Socialists held a mass conven-
tion, as advertised, on June lo. A
full county ticket was placed in the
field, as follows:
Sheriff-R. II. Fox.
County attorney- S. ,1. Caldwell.
County clerk—Joe Hurley.
Treasurer- Lew A. Weld.
Co.Supt. Mrs. Cleo Hailiehl.

Surveyor—Marion Melott.
Coroner—W. Calhoun.
Commmissiouer, First District — K
G. Armstrong.
Second Dist-M. Lively.
Third Dist— I'. M. Buster.
Baker and Avery.
C. W. Woodward, an expert en;■ i 1 •
man, in the employ of the Baker Ei -
gine Co., delivered one of their 2n
horsepower engines to Messrs. Win.
and Henry Schuermann, of Jefferson.
One of the office force saw it on oui
streets yesterday and pronounced il
a daisy. The Schuermann Bros, are
expert threshers who have been in the
qusiness a long time and never bu.\
only what the.v consider the best.
With this engine and the new Aver;
separator, , they consider they hav
one of the most complete rigs to b
had, and being practical farmers,
as well as threshermen, they under-
stand and know what sort of ;i
inashlne is the best for both theiir
selves and their patrons.
Aloney Talk.
Somewhere in the Bible, you will
iimI where Jesus said "mtilce friends of
Money" As a matter of fact all men
don't do so; but il is jutyaa true that
Money held as a friend, is a man's'
most willing and ready servant..
When rightly used it makes his home
atlractive and will bring to his fireside
1 lie best men and women of nil ages.
We have it tu loan, or, if you have
nine that is ideal, it will pay you to
invest in some of our five per cunt 111-
