It will not he long again before the world of labor will go on again with something of a new impetus; with springs recoiled and tense again. Then to each individual human cog of the great machine it falls to reckon bv bow much be is stronger and fitter for his task than before. In that is the touchstone of the release from toil. Whether by mountain or sea; whether whipping a trout stream or driving a motor car, or humor ing a sail to the thrilling caprices of a headwind, each man may take his toll of vigor from the Mother of all men. Some tliere be, indeed, who, inconceivably, immure them selves in cabin or club, to pore interminably over books or magazines. These are Hie Philistines looking upon life as through a glass, darkly; perhaps through many glasses, darkly. "Wiser he who is for the open, come shower or galeor lv. Wiser he who is for the open, come shower or gale or the happy sunshine; and lie gains the st who goes with mind and heart widest open to every impression. Not every man has the gift of keen and enlightening observa tion. But most of us have our five senses, still mercifully spared from atrophy through inaction. And he who brings back in memory from his ouling the slightest of experi ences, so it lie fresh, some strange song of bird or bloom of flower, some hitherto unnoted glint of color on a moth's wing, some recollect ion of nature in a new phase, will not have wasted bis opportunities. The man who returns with such an experience to recall returns richer than he went. He returns younger than be went. The world has become new to him in such degree as he has heard, seen, felt. (!1VE fS PLENTY OF WATER. The water scarcity in our city at this time is probably a good thing for the city, though it may be a great incon venience to the public at large; still it will serve as an ob ject lesson to the city fathers and the water committee. This water famine plainly shows that wherever the selection of supply is made, that the people will demand absolute evidence that the supply will be ample, Tliere must be no guesswork; if necessary, the people will them selves inspect the source of supply and the quantity. Medford will grow. It is upon this fact that the people voted for the large bond issue, and the people who come into our city to live will help pay this burden, and in return they will expect and are entitled to a good supply of water for all purposes. T .. i i:a: .. i i i i . ..... iii aiuiitioii io uouseiioiti use, we waul water in sulli cient quantities to irrigate the lawns, flower gardens etc., so that it may add attractiveness. So, give us water and plenty of it for all time to come. OOMPERS TELLS WHY HE IS FOR W. J. BRYAN COLl'MHUN, ()., August X. Samuel Oompers, president of 1 1 1 . - American Federation of Ijibor, yesterday gave out a statement hern explaining Ins nlti tuile iu the presidential campaign nlnl denying that he was trying l, throw the labor vote in favor of Hrvan. said: "The fiileratiuit sent me as its agent to the conventions at t'liiiago and Hi ver to see what the two great pnrtie would do about the ami injiitivtinn plnnk in framing their platforms. "I was receivitl with greater sy pathy and friendliness by the demo cralic party. As the iigent of the fisl oration. I reported that fact back the organization. "I am not trying to dictate to any man how he should vote nor nm I trying to tnrow the labor vote to Hrvan. havo invitations to speak all over th country and I shall accept many of mem. aiy only object is to report t th orgnnimtioiis of the American Fed oration of Labor what my work with the- two parlies was nnd how I was re eeived by Ihem.

Vltt Njtts Say A OEANTS PASS VIEW. N (Oregon Observer.) Tlii ri'iil sentiment in prubibition of intuxiratiiiK liquors is to compel people by law 10 refrain from using liquors wlin use tlicin harmfully. Tliere may be a few prohibitionists who never smill intoxicants, ami do nut want any body else to, but the solid purpose of the movement is to bar an evil to peo ple that make it an evil. The law does not prevent any man from bringing liquor into a dry county from a wet county, niul in this way everybody may consume ns much as they want to, but mav not give it or sell it to another person. Many people in (Irants Pass still maintain their supplies of liquo.s, as in all other cities In prohibition counties. It is the rural population ami the laboring class who are most af fected. Hot as a matier of fact whisky brandy, wine, etc, can now be indulged in by Grants 1'nss people at a Intra priee than ever before. Two wlmles.ile di alers of Portland are uttering for the trade of this citv, and for all orders of ;i or more will deliver the parcel b.i express, prepaid. The town, therefore, is not greatly sulTering from "dry ness. " To that extent, prohibition is a lenioiistrnted failure. All this is perfectly lawful, but along with this there always goes with pro hibition a great deal that is not lawful. The first example is now up for trial in Uraiits Pass. A "blind pig has for some weeks been operating in the city, not only in the way of selling intoxi cants, but in running a gambling den in connection. For some years tirants ass has been practically free from gambling, but when enforced prohibi tion induces someone to estntnisn an illicit shop, then all the other evils may be expected tot follow. It was because of tin miiiioii practice of just such do inert in "drv communities that the Observer has maintained that prohibi tion is a worse evil than the ovil it ks to remedy. It induces a new set of crimes. Hie case now tieioro tuo courts will no doubt be sevorely denltb with, as it ought tu be. Hut that will not pre- eat others from taking tlio risk though it may cause greater caution. 1 Ins new vil will eoaliiiue, and there will-prob- ably be other prosecutions, The county will pay the posts, this one Hon, now broken up, was capable of more harm than nil the saloons of the city us they had been operated of late years. It is gratifying to many people to know that none of the city's late aalooumin were in any way connected with this first "blind pig" in .lonephine county. MB. HARRIMAN AND OREQON. Oregoii Journal.) Ahmit a ve:ir ago the Journal pub- linhed nn editorial veleumin Mr. liar riiuan to Pelican lodge, ad wishing him a ple:innnt vacation. It ventured at that time, however, to allude to the rnilrnmllt'.HH condition nf a great part of Oregon, which looked to him fur ndief and which ho had practically under bin thumb, and ejqirennod the t'aiul hope that within the then coming veur lie would do Home railroad build- ng therein. A veur ban punned, Mr. Hiirriman in back In Oregon again, and amde from 11 Ht rip of road in Walolwa unity for which great thanks notli ing has been dune. No road through central Oregon; work on the Coos Hay i! ltd Tillamook roads stopped, and even the work of transferring the traffic on I'ourth ntreet to lhe east side held up evrr since last fall. And all the rail road talk that Mr. Uarriman indulges in is of raising rfelght rates. et we will forget all thin during Mr. llarri man 's vacat ion, or at leant will have only pleasntit words for hint, nr.d hnpo (hut he will enjoy himself hotter than he ever did iu his life before. Then, though wc hoped Inst, year, nn for many years, in vain, we will ntill hope. IVrhnps during the next year, or the year after, or five yearn hence, or 10, or LM mime glad year Mr. llnrri man will begin to help develop Oregon. And perhaps, if he doesn't do bo soon, the people of Oregon will find ways and mentis to do so themselves. YOUNO OIRL FOUND LYINO IN OPIUM DEN VANCOUVER, 11. ('., August 10.
