It is proposed to call a mass meeting next week at. the opera house, when the whole subject will be gone into publicly. There has developed a strong opposition to the Wasson canyon project, due largely to the doubt that exists in the minds of many as to sufficiency of the supply. This doubt has been great ly increased by the mystery and secrecy with which the water committee has shrouded its acts, and its refusal to take the public into its confidence. There is a public protest over the. selling of the city's water bonds by the council at a sacrilice of ijUH.li'iO, when if there is any security offered by the city worth while, it should be Cor income producing property, such as water works. Yet the market; for bonds is very poor at the pres ent time, and the council was obliged to accept the only offer made or run the risk of losing even it. Opposition in the city is increasing to the piling up of a debt, of !(",( 0l, which will of necessity increase taxes until the expansion of the city creates sufficient water revenue to pay expenses, and many who first shouted for the bonds arc now advocating some expedient until the growth materializes sufficiently to just il'y the expenditure. But upon Hit; securing of water rests the city's develop merit and it, is doubtful if rapid growth can be made until a satisfactory solution is reached. Everyone in Medlord should watch this water quest ion carefully, for the present as well as the future value of his property depends upon its satisfactory settlement, am everyone interested should 1urn out to the mass meeting when it is called. CIIIUllibiN MA It HAM) COSdliltT. Had President Roosevelt been present at the band con cert in Medford last evening it is more than likely he would modify his views regarding race suicide. The pleasure of many music-lovers was painfully marred by the noisy antics of the many children present. That, the need is for better-trained children, and not more of them, is evident. The average parent seems to think their duty done to their children when they arc fed anil clothed. It is not deemed necessary to teach decorum and regard for the rights of others. The children at. tin ncert were helped out in making it disagreeable for others by the rowdy tactics .of boys large enough to know better. Aledford's hand is most excellent and the concerts will prove of vast benefit, in building up the city, though the bandstand should be so arranged that the music will be heard at a distance better. But the musicians should not be compelled to compete with children who are not trained to keep still at the proper time. Your professional prohibitionist is hard In please. Bryan, who is a teetotaler, is censured at the national pro hibition ('(invention because he does not believe in const i tutional prohibition. Taft, most temperate of men, is cen sured because of his friendliness tft "the great brewer boss politician of 'iucinnati, familiarly known as Boss dux," In themselves, these men are shining examples of all that prohibition could make men, yet both are unsat isfactorv. The drys evidently believe that pretensions rather than results count. 1MMENHE CROWDS BEE ELKS' BIO VAKAUi: HA I, LAS, Tea, July 17. Hmt 7r,, IHM) people wtilchi'd tln monster parade of the Elks.
