"Shall the people rnle" asta Mr. J'.ryan. They shall
in Medford, says Councilman ffafev, and this eity council
follows his lend. So the people are to decide the water
onestion and select a source for the eity on' November the
fii'Ht. . -A . iJai
Hut it must have Keen with great reluctance that the
V'asson canyon advocates voted to Je.t the people have a
say in the mutter. All along the majority of the water com
mittee has insisted that, it was none of the people's hnsi
ness what was done in regard to water - and loud was the
abuse heaped upon The Tribune because it insisted upon
the right of the public to learn what was going on. It is
only a few weeks since one of the leading bankers of Med
ford made an uncalled for personal attack in the council
chamber upon the editor of The Tribvmo for daring to
demand publicity on the water fpiestion, and he also took
the ground that the people, were not, entitled to information
on water. , A
Tf the advocates of VVaHson canyon had had a majority
in the council, would they have left it, to the people to de
cide I ft, is highly improbable, in view of (heir record.
Their attitude all along lias been that they were better
Qualified to select the source than Ihe people could possi
bly be, though the people were pretty well convinced that
lot) inches were not, :'.)(.
The public can first thank Councilman ff.ifer for the
privilege of saying how its money should be spent, but it
can also thank The Tribune for the long and persistent
fight made for publicity in behalf of the people.
The Tribune believes most implicitly in the rule of the
people, whether' it, is the selection of United States sena
tors or the question of municipal improvements, and will
always be found on the firing line.

MIU,INI;i!Y It UN' MAD.
Of all the absurdities women have seen fit to adorn
their heads with, the new styles of millinery eep the climax
of the ridiculous.
These millinery monstrosities seem to a mere man to
mea rider about as far from the realm of common sense as
it, is possible to roam. 'Che "merry widow" was bad
ehough, with its cartwheel shape and size, but the new
styles lenwe it, common place.
The new creations are of all shapes, sizes and designs.
Seemingly the only effect struggled for is the ridiculous.
There are hats modeled after grandpa's old beaver after
someone sat on it, those designed from the flimsy bushel
basket, those that look like an undeveloped peck measure,
those like an inflated colored paper bag, those like a ha I
loon collapsing, those like an old time grenadier's helmet
with ils tasselcd fop. and those like a man's wornout arid
misshaped derby swelled twice its original size from its
newly arrived importance.
I'YoTn these absurd designs flutter, float and bobble
multi-colored plumes and feathers and geegnws. Some
times a grind sized feather duster dances with your fare a
yard away from the hat, sometimes its the tail of a bird
of paradise or a peacock that trails to one side to annoy
thers by tickling them, and sometimes there are ostrich
feathers of strange hues.
These hats arid no (harm to the wearer, no beauty
to supply nature's deficiencies, no grace of form or man
ner. Why, then, arc they whi m liecause they are Ihe
latest, fashion, and if wearing washlnhs on the head be
came the fashion, they would be worn hv human peacock
on parade.
bv such a law.
In submitting offers for municipal water supply to the
citizens to vote upon, the city council should rerpiire. cer
tified check or bonds to accompany the hid, of at least
Ti.VilKi, as a guarantee of good faith, to shut out the "hot
air" promoters and to insure tille to water. Then before
the contracts are let, bonds to the extent of the contract or
at least for M large part of the contract should l,e given,
so that the city may be amply protected.
Anyone who makes a bid to supply the eiry with water
must stand ready to guarantee title to the water and pro
tect the city under ensuing litigation. Tt would not have
been a hud plan to adopt the Condor Water power com
pany's suggestion and make the bond to accompany the
bid as large as the contract. This would crtainly have
shown that bidders meant business.
