THE OVEN EYE.
Vacation time is at its height. 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.

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.
