WHAT MAKES HOME. If I bad wealth and I bad health, And I'd a roof above mc. If I'd a wife, to cheer my life, But' not one child to love me, No rosjvlipped young laughing miss, No bright-eyed roguish laddies, I'd searclr the town, both up and down, Till one should call mo daddie. r would not have a roof that ne'er Knew sound of childish chatter, Nor keep a fioor untoddlcd o'er By little feet that patter. Nor. "would I hang upon my walls Great pictures just to show them, Unless a tot had left a lot Of fiiiger marks below them. 2 would not like to settle down Within my old arm chair, And take my ease, with emptv knees: I want a youngster there. Likewise, with everything I have, How incomplete 'twould be, Unless I had a girl or lad To share it all with me. And so I say, if I had wealth And had a roof above mo, If I'd a wife to cheer my life, But had no child to love me, Then I would search both up and down, To beg or buy or borrow, A child to bo a part of me I'd have one here tomorrow.

TN ANOTHER column, City Physician J. K Shearer tells of an investigation into the source oC Mcitford's water supply and pronounces it equal or superior to that, of any city in the country. Not only is the quality better, but the quantity per capita is greater. Medford is to be envied above all other cities of the northwest. It has purer water and more water, and its water is owned by the municipality. The acquisition of the supply andthe construction of the liavrving system are triumphs of good citizenship, of the civic ideals that create cities, for every possible handicap existed against securing a city water system. What other towns had at their doors. Medford had to go twenty-five miles for. What other places secured at small cost, cost Medford over half a million dollars. But while other cities are existing on reduced water rations, while the drouth is compelling the utmost economy in use of water, Mcdford has twice as much as it can possibly use sufficient for a city three or four times its present population. Investigation reveals the fact that nearly all typhoid cases reported in the city in times gone by have been from dwellings where well water was used. There is no longer any excuse for the use of well water. The city water is much purer and better, and the use of water from wells should be prohibited. No well, whose supply basin re ceives the drainage of a city of 10,000 people, is fit for use. POLITICS npHE application of the direct primary received its first test in Idaho in the inimary election, held yester day, and while the returns have not been sufficient! can vassed to indicate clearly the result, the renonunation of Brady, the incumbent governor, is practically assured. JVench, insurgent candidate, also seems to have a lead over Hamer, stalwart, for congress, in the Gentile counties, but the Mormon counties can be depended upon to rally to the aid of the stalwarts, as these counties are dominated by the head of the hierarchy in Salt Lake, and that insti tution has no sympathy with insurgency, its policy being to stand pat with the national administration without re gard to party. The direct primary in Idaho may result in lifting the yoke of Mormon church control from the people of the state. The five southeastern couiries of the state art; overwhelmingly Mormon and under the assembly or con vention system the leaders- of that- hierarchy -were able to hold in check the greedy office seekers among the Saints, but under a direct primary law it is questionable whether any Gentile in the Mormon stronghold will be given political recognition. The constitution of the state provides a test oath for its citizens that practically disenfranchises the orthodox Mormon. It only requires a Gentile legislature to put this oath in operation, it having been suspended a few years ago upon promise of. the brethren to be good and keep the church out of politics, thus a sufficient arousal. of the Gentile gorge may result in a practical elimination of the Mormon menace in Idaho. ROLLS OF "T O MO VE of the public-spirited citizens of Medford - deserves more success than the effort now being made to raise a $10,000 bonus to secure a $100,000 hospi tal, to be built and operated by the Sisters of Providence. Every citizen Who can, should give something toward this bonus. The hospital will mean a great deal for the city and its future, and Medford is fortunate in being of fered the opportunity to secure it. It is true subscription lists come thick and fast in Medford. But that is what has made the city. Only in dead towns are people never forced to dig into their pock etbooks for the common good. These subscription lists for objects designed to build up the community are really rolls of honor in whichNare listed the enterprising and progressive citizens, whose public-spiriteduess has made and whose future efforts will NEW FOOTBALL RULES PUZZLE OLD PLAYERS MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Aug. 31. That many of the country's football stars must unlearn what they al ready know of the game and acquire additional knowledge because of the new football rules was the statement today of Coach Juneau of Marquette university. Other exports concur with this belief, saying that under the now rules it is probable many stars will go into eclipse, while the beginners, unhampered by the oldor football science, will have a chance to shine.

Plenty of Material, According to tho Wlso Political Forecasters on Both Sides of tho Fence, Says Gus. J. Karpr, ' Special Correspondent. WASHINGTON', Aug. '-'il. Did he fall, or was ho pushed? Moaning, of course, Undo Joe Cannon, loading citlr.cn of Danville, 111., speaker of the lum-o of repre sentatives of congress. Ho that as it may, whether ho fell or whether l.ongworths nifty little shove sent him over tho rocipioc, tho opinion prevails that Undo Joe has boon clouted to honorary membership in tho Down-aml-Out club. Which fact is mado evident by tho sudden announcement of candidacies for his place and tho reiteration of candi dacies previously discussed. And the plethora of tho crop of speakership, candidacies makes it quite clear that tho hope of carrying the next house for the republican party hasn't boon abandoned in leading republican cir cles, at least not to an extent that would make it especially conspicuous. Up to date, including soino of the mushroom growths that have sprung up over night, there's more than a baker's dozen of perspiring statesmen who feel constrained to offer their 'patriotic services to a people and a party that stand in need of them. Perhaps Gerritt John Diekoma of Michigan isn't the most formidable rival Speaker Cannon will find in tho field against him, but ho has two points of vantage Ho has more hair than any of tho others, hair that stands up like that of a man af frightedwhich is basely deceptive, for in the heart of Diekema there is no room for fear and he is the ear liest bird of all those who hunt the speakership worm. It was n good wliiin nsro. when the nuti-lnunon son- timniiL first liesan to crystallize, that he put himself on record in the mat ter. He allowed that there would be no clear field for Uncle Joe in the next congress. There would probab ly be another speaker. If so, why not Biokemaf Since which time he has been on the job and the Michigan delegation is exocetcd to stand be hind him. if not on his own account, at least for the glory of the state. Michicnn isn't tho onlv stato that's expected to feci that way. Indiana also has her faronte son, and it In diana has any republican delegation in the next, congress that delegation will be expected to stand tinnly be hind tho aspirations of Judge Kdgar Dean Cnunpncker of Valparaiso, who hn been in congress ever since the fifty-fifth congress, when nine republicans from Indiana sat in the house, whereas now there arc two Crumpacker and Barnard both of whom nre fervently committed to the Crumpacker candidacy. Missouri will come out for Richard Hartholdt, apostle of pcaee and of German in the public schools. Iowa, also, not withstanding the divisions in the Ite publicau party between insurgents and regulars, will present a favorite son, the Hon. Walter T. Smith of Council Bluffs, occupying said envi nhlf nntition. the insui'L!cntK hcilltr altogether taken by his personality, although uncompromisingly at outs with his regularity. For Walter Smith, not caring a continental whether Ins redheaded colleagues like it or not. lias broken inaiiv a lance on the field of oratorical battle for Speaker Cannon, who would yield the gavel less regretfully to Smith than to almost any other man who has lici'ii liiniitifitmil. tint nrnnntiiii' oven Sereno Elislia I'avno of New York. FRED CLARKE, CAPTAIN I OF CHAMPIONS, RETIRES PITTSBl'HG, Ij Aug. 31. Fred Clarke, manager and captain of the Pittsburg champions of the National league, announced today his rctircr incnt from baseball for the remain der of the season anil probably for good. Clarke's move is regarded iih proof that the Pirates are hopelessly out of the running in the National league pennant race. It is beliovcd that the retirement of Clarke is the result of bitter criticism of him by the fans of his home city.

FOR CANOY riTUMia THEM0DMN DEALEB Purity UwJim CcnUctleiury Co., Mlri., Periling, 0r( on chairman of tho wiv and menus committee, who mado a gaum fight in oonforcncu for tho tariff bill ap proved by the house, and who wont so far in tho matter of downwind im vision as his originally stand-pat sotil would go with him. Like tho others mentioned, 1'ayno is ranked a stand patter oven now, but ho isn't as of fensive to 'the insurgents as tho pari he played in (ho matter of tariff leg islatiou might seem to indicate. Not as offensive as James It. Maun of Illinois, Speaker Cannon's voice when his own is hiloiit. Not nearly as oiteusivo as John Dalxell ot Pennsylvania and Marl in Kdgar Olni stcd of that stato, between whom tho choice of tho Pennsylvania tueii seems to lie. For John Daltell is the avowed high priest of tho high tariff and Olmsted is so regular that no debate is complete, when the ndcs of the house are tho bono of eoutju tion, until ho has spoken the last word on behalf of Cannon and Can nonisnu And if Ohio is to have a favorite son, then, why not Nick Longworth, the gent who throw his brick with such unerring aitnt The regulars seem to take it for granted that tho choice of the next speaker, even though it shouldn't ho Cannon, and they think it won't b Cannon, no matter how gamely the old gentleman continues to take the gaff, will rest with them. They haven't considered the possibility of taking their seats at tho foot of an insurgent and they continue to do- bate tho claims of James A. Tnwuoy of Minnesota, chairman of tho ap propriations committee, at whoso homo town, Winona, President Tail delivered his famous taritf speech, and without which Tawuey could never have hoped to win another nomination in his dintrict. Tawuey will have a largo following and no one can lay higher claims to ad vancement than Winona Jim. That is to say, if tho regulars are really to rule the roost, if tho insurgents can dominate the republican caucus, Charles Newell Fowler of Now Jer sey will present his claims, said claims centering about and rotating from tho fact that ho has hurlod moru rhetorical brickbats at the gray head of Speaker Cannon than all the other insurgents put together, bar none. But oven under insurgent auspices Mr". Fowler's chances would bo exceedingly slim. For if an in surgent is to preside over tho next house, it will be one who has done more merely than to fulminate a la Fowler. That's where tho real leader of tho hoiiuo insurgents, tho Hon. George William Norris, the niftiiMt ono of tho bunch, would come in strong. And if politics is to be elim inated entirely, if the next speaker is to bo merely a "moderator," then keep your oye on Asher C. Hinds ,f Maine, now clerk at the speaker's table, boss parliamentarian, but sure to be a member of the next house. But, after all, says a democratic colleague of mine, what's the use of writing all this stuff about Smith and Crumpacker, Dalzoll, Olmsted and all the rest of them? "The next hoiiho of loprcttcutntivoH of eon gipfr," ho uy, in his moot offen sive wny, "will be democratic by a largo majority. And tho next speaker of the house will bo the Hon. Champ Clark of Bowling Green, Mo. and don't you forget it." nankins fnr Tlnnlth ROOSEVELT'S Own Book The Most Popular Book Cefjrlfht Ckarltl Strtiuti'l Sam By The Most Popular Man , African GameTrails Gives In book form by Roosavelt't own hand the sole account ol his African Hunt.
