The leading Imsiness men and i-apilalists of Medford
liave at last awakened to the necessity of paying some at
tention to the water problem and are now doing what
should have been done months ago, looking into the various
proposals. 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.

Colonel Henry Watterson . will con
stitute the heavy literary artillery of
the eampaigu. He is expected to write
all around the Taft jiress agents and
put the Parker democrats out of busi

Here we have proof that t lie impend
iug debate will live long in the history
of American literature. Colonel Wat-t.-rsou,
we believe, is. the greatest liv
ing literary mun. Ilia vocnbulurv is
illimitable; his style is electric; his
figures of speech are ovorpowering. He
is a mighty phrase-maker; an author, in

will never dii no, nover. His compo
sit inns bristle and glitter with all sorts
of novel ami amazing personages, met
aphors, trojH-B and image. "Tne star

" I lungs have come to a hull ,,f a pass

He writes blank verse, too:
" Kating huckleberries all day long
And learning how to hive. "
He is a sciential, a biologist, a zoo
ilugist, a flemiinologist:
"The wrnugiloodlfl, the gin rickey and
the giustlL'UtiH

One sees more devils than vast hell ean

That , is Hie whangdoide. "
