.1 FEW WHYS FOR VOTERS.
Why do the republicans refuse to make public cam
pniirn contributions before election 1
Whv did the national republican convention reject pop
ular election of senators by a vote of seven to one1
How can Mr. Tai't lie expected to prosecute trusts, when
he granted a perpetual f ranch ise in the Philippines
Why have the expenses the government increase
to over a billion a year
U'l.v have the number ot lederal oiiicenoluers in
creased over ! 10,000 under six years of Roosevelt's admin
istration i
How do we know that, if elected, Air. Taft will not copy
Roosevelt and use the constantly increasing army of of
fice holders as well us the office which belongs to the peoph
to name his successor!
Why did the republican convention fail to adopt a sin
gle one of the reforms advocated by Roosevelt to congress
last winter! . , a a
Why did the republican congress refuse to enact any of
Roosevelt's reforms, ami why could 110 republicans not
be found in congress to join the democrats in causing these
reforms to become laws ?
How can Taft, the father of injunctions, whose-decision
as federal judge for Ohio is the original precedent for
abuse of power by courts against labor unions,, lie expected
to lessen the evil of government by injunction i
Jlow can tariff revision in favor of the people be ex
pected under Tai't, whose election is advocated by every
recipient of special legislation in the nation 1
How can depositors in banks expect relief from Mr.
Taft, who is opposed to forcing banks to guarantee depos
its and would continue the present policy of rushing the
United States treasury to the relief of Wall street specu
lators while depositors get clearing house certificates?
How do we know but. that as un Iowa man wrote the
republican national committee, the many good measures
talked of by Mr. Roosevelt were not like his bear hunts
in the south last autumn tame bears shipped there for
the purpose?
THOSE' XI.XE-TO-OXE ODDS.
Nine to one are not the odds given by Lloyd's Exchange
in London against, the election of Bryan as president, as
misstated in the Mail and other organs of the predatory in
terests to influence the band wagon voters. They are sim
ply the odds against, business losses contingent upon a
democratic victory. In other words, the chances are nine
to one against, commercial depression in case Hrvau is
elected, compared to what they would lie in case of Taft's
election.
Lloyd's Exchange is an old and careful British insur
ance firm that, will write any kind of a policy, on the life
of a tom-cat or the death of a king, so long as the premium
is in sight. In every campaign, they insure against losses
for either side and in the present campaign they charge
!t per cent premium to insure against business losses in
case Bryan is elected, showing that these purely non-partisan
observers do not fear disaster from Bryan, but look
upon him as the advance agent of prosperity.
The best service that can he rendered for permanent
prosperity is to rebuke the assumption which certain pol
iticians continually are seeking to create in the public
maud, that continued prosperity depends on the success
of a particular political party.
Our form of government contemplates changes from
time to time, and nothing is so disastrous as to instill in the
people's minds the belief that there is danger to business in
changing a portion of the officers of our government.
Jf the people cannot change their officers without cre
ating a panic, then the logical step is to go to a monarchy,
which, of course, none advocates.

Permission luis beeu asked ill Med
ford. Or., tfi introduce into that city
a modification uf the Si'uthlinuviuii
liquor system, liy which private profit
in eliminated from the, nullum. ' The
friendH (if the, Scandinavian system
maintain that tliu eliniinat inn uf per
sonal gain fro'" the liquor business
liken it much enidcr to enforce police
regulations, mid in general to rid the
saloon uf many evils which surround
it in tliiH country.
A ghmco at some of the reHultH ob
tained in Norway iH not without inter
est. At the introduction of the nynteiu
in 1ST I the per capltli consumption uf
spiritous liquurs wax 4.4. litres, a little
over a gallon. In ten years the per
capita consumption of spirits, wine uud
beer was reduced to :!.! litres and is
now reduced to ulioiit two litres.
In the cily of licrgeu, a great Nor
wegian fishing and shipping port with
.'jl.onll people, there are only nino sa
loons mid four wholesale liquor houses.
In Cortland, which is only four times
larger than Itergen, we have nearly .1111)
places where liquor is sold. In Norway
under the inoiiopolv svstem, the saloons
are open only from S to 'l a. in., nnd
1 : :t0 to 7 p. m. on week days, und close
at 1 p. ill. on Sundays. They cannot
lie made loafing places where the work
iuguiau is purled from his every cent.
In lieu of the saloons, readiiiK rooms
and other places of rerreutiun are kept
open for the public, and supported out
of the money taken from the profits of
the saloon.
Prohibitionists will refuse to coin
promise with any regulation of the
liquor traffic. Hut even prohibitionists
must admit that ill ninny communities
jrohihitinn is impracticable, owing to
the fact that public sentiment does not
uphold it, The Norwegian system prom
ises to be such an improvement of the
old system uf suloons thnt moderate
temperance people ought to welcome
a trial of it.

TED AS A CAMPAIGNER
(Sacramento Bee)
As n campaigner the President is not
success. Tuft would have a much
better clianco to win if Roosevelt had
kept, silence, nnd left The People to
choose between "his man" nnd llrynn.
They feel competent to exercise their
right to do so, and llutlirally resent
what seems to them ilictution from the
White House.
Moreover, the President's violent nod
bitter part isunship mukes nil his con
tributions to the campaign hurtful to
Taft instead of helpful, becniute they
are flagrantly unfair nnd unjust to
Itrvan.

signs of tliis character about Medford. We
always find a desirable tenant before a good
building has been "to let" more than 24
hours, and land owners know we can always
find a purchaser if a reasonable valuation is
put on property. Consequently Medford
does not impress the houiesesker as being
"under the hammer." This is as.it should
be.
