Governor Uowoniuin wan an im- pawiivo and silent spectator Letters from all the justices of thn supreme court were road saying whilo Ronb was guilty of stealing $288,420,87 of tho school fnudH thero was no moral lurpitmln involved. It is not heliuved by 1i!h ulobest 1'iioinls that ho will grant pardon in this caso. Tho point was mado by AVallatc MeCamnnt of couiihcI for Hohb, that (lie it) wns no doubt tho writ of appeal to (ho supremo court of tho United States would bo diMiiisFcd and this was his last hope of iclief fiom serv ing tho Honlcnco. MeCamaut albo assured tho aetlu governor that in case ho granted ex ecutive clemonoy tho owners of thn Oregonian hud assured him that How eniian would not bo criticised in thai newspaper. Acting Governor Bowormnn In formed tho delegation that ho would take it under advisement. AN" OLD proverb states that it is folly to swap horses while crossing a stream. This is the predicament Medford finds itself in at the coming election. Certain citizens are trying to force a change in administration in the midst of a program of public improvement but half completed. No valid reason is offered why there should be any change, except that candidates want ottice, and it otters opportunity for airing personal and petty grievances, the inborn inclination of the knocker to be "agin the gov ernment," and shy a brick at every head of authority. It is not claimed that a change of administration will accomplish anything for the material welfare of the city. It is not claimed that there will be an increased efficiency or an increased harmony, or ah increased diligence in public administration. It cannot be shown that there will be an increased public confidence or an increased financial credit by a change. The election affords the disgruntled a chance to whack at someone in authority for some real or fancied griev ance, or to pull some future chestnuts out of the fire, or to gratify o'er-leaping personal ambition. So we have a noisy effort being made to discredit Mayor Canon and the administration and accomplish its deteat. If to spend nearly a million dollars of the city's money economically and with a value received result to the tax payers, if to effect numerous economics, if to devise ways and means for maintaining the city's credit upon an empty treasury, so as to carry on public improvements without stop or hindrance, be not making good, then what can be? And if Mayor Canon has made good he is certainly entitled to re-election, the more so as he served his first year without remuneration. The platform promises of the various candidates do not differ in essentials. As long as public sentiment fa vors high licenses and strict regulation of the saloons, no council will increase the number of licenses without fac ing a recall. Business administration and economy are promised by all, but the present administration has the advantage of having actually accomplished what others promise. We can only judge- the future by the past. Mistakes may have been made and will be made, no matter who is elected, for to err is human, but there have been fewer mistakes and greater efficiency under the present admin istration than the average city enjoys. The city administration during such a critical period as this has a great influence upon the city's welfare. Capital is always shy of investment in a place where the, indebted ness is as large as Medford, unless it is assured that there is an efficient city administration. We have enjoyed such an administration. Why, then, follow will-of-the-wisi1 election promises that may lead us to a dismal swamp? It is only by taking a large view of conditions, and planning for the common good of all, which is really the individual good, that a true perspective" is secured, and business men and citizens generally realize that the best interest of Medford will be served by the re-election of our capable, hard-working and efficient mayor.

Mttritnun, the other day I asked him if lie wasn't getting stronger and feeling, a great deal better than his usual wont. He re plied that bo was and went on to state that he and Mrs. Merrimdn were both getting grant benefit ijroin tjtc til'atmentft they were receiving from the local chiropractic rciu; Jitioner. Mr. Mtttrimnn stated that ho hud been attlieted for a long time with constipation and coild oo taiu nothing but temporary relief from any treatment. "I wns induced to try chiropractic adjustments of the spine and am delighted to state that 1 am highly elated with the re sults. My trouble has entirely van ished and 1 feel alike a new person. ,wy wuu, tviio wis ucun very nervous and suffered a great deal from a stiff neck and iutciihc pain at the base v the brain, has been greatly relieved and I feel that a few ino'v treatments will entirely cure her." Dr. Gordon is certainly having great success witli many of the chronic cases and 1 feel sure that anyone suffering' should consult him iiil learn of his methods, if he can not help you ho will tell you at once and if he thinks that you can be ben efited you will dd well to try a icv treatments. JIo will be pleased to explain tile science of chiropractic to anyone who wishes to call. Dr. Gordon is located dvor the Medford Hardware company. He has been in the city since Sep tember and is bocominir quite well and favorably known and I feel sure is benefiting a great ninny people who could be benefited in no other way. 18YEAR OLDBfRDMAN MAKES DARING FLIGHT CIIAHLESTON, S.
