ROOSEVELT AXD THE COURTS.
President Roosevelt in his letter to .Senator Knox as
sailing Samuel Gonipcrs is outraged because Mr. Gonipers,
.who, because he refuses to support My Candidate, is not a
Man of My Type, criticized Hie federal courts for follow
ing the lead set by Mr. Taft when on the bench in Ohio in
inaugurating government by injunction against labor
unions.
This is highly edifying, coming from Theodore Roose
velt, who vigorously swings the big stick upon every de
cision of these same courts that docs not agree with "my
policies," and who in his messages has attacked the same
wrongs Gompcrs complains of.
In his message to the Fifty-ninth congress, 1!J0(, Pres
ident Roosevelt mentioned the judge who "wantonly and
oppressively" used the injunction. "There have undoubt
edly been flagrant wrongs committed by judges in connec
tion with labor disputes, even within the last few years,"
he asserted. .
In his message to the Sixtieth congress in 1907, the pres
ident protested "the conduct of individual judges," and
their "tyrannical use of what is nominally a temporary
injunction to accomplish what is in fact a permanent de
cision." President Roosevelt did not like the decision of Judge
Humphrey in the beef trust case, and wroti to congress
than it was "a miscarriage of justice that came perilously
near making a farce of the law." The president did not
like the decision of Judge Laud is in the Standard Oil case
and called it a "gross miscarriage of justice." And only
recently he published a letter he wrote to Mr. Taft two
years ago telling of the "dull, purblind folly of very rich
men, their greed and arrogance and the way they have un
duly prospered. too often through the weakness
and shortsightedness of the judges and by their luil'ortu
nate possession of meticulous minds."
AO WOOD PIPE WASTED.
The city of Medford will make a fatal mistake if it
spends a quarter of a million dollars for wooden stave
pipe. This kind of pipe has uniformly failed to give sat
isfaction, and is usually pulled up after a few years' trial.
No manufacturers of wooden stave pipe will guarantee
it more than a year, which of itself should condemn it.
It will not stand more than (0 or 70 pounds' pressure,
which ought also to condemn it.
Medford has the best distributing system of any city
in the state. It would be a shame lo spoil its proposed
.water system, which should also be (he best in the state,
by a makeshift wooden pipeline. It means bankruptcy,
for it will always be a trouble producer and will soon have
to be replaced. Jts life is not as long as that of an over
head flume.
The city should profit by the experiences of other cities
and reject the wooden stave pipe. All of (lie following
places have tried wood pipe and have had to replace it
after trial: Tillamook, Marshlield, Arlington, licwiston.
Idaho, Walla Walla, Astoria, McM innville, .Newburg, Sa
lem and Boise. Why should Medford have the same ex
perience? Lock-joint steel pipe, No. 18 gauge, is not much more
expensive than wood, and will last for many years, as prov
ed by the experience of l.oisc, Baker City, La Grande,
Arlington, The Dalles, Walla Walla, Lewiston, Cold Hill,
Ashland, Grants Pass, Independence, Sheridan, Stayton
Glejulale and numerous other places.

"In all tariff legislation the true principle of nrote-
j. x x
lion is best maintained by the imposition of such duties
as will eoual the difference between the cost of such nro
x . .
duetion at home and abroad, together with a reasonable
proJ it to American industries.
This quotation is from the republican platform, whic
for the first time declares for a law that will provide "re;
sonable nrofits" to nrolected niiiimf:n-(iii'ics.

wheat, butter, eggs and chickens Why not guarantee
everybody in business against "reasonable" loss Why
discriminate against the general public in favor of a few
manufacturers?
Mr. Taft is busy talking in favor of legislation to guar
antee more profits to tariff-fed trusts and at the same time
ho denounces a law to guarantee depositors the safety of
their savings in banks. It makes a vital difference wheth
er the legislation is in favor of a favored few or the multi
tude, to Taft, who has opposed the common people since
he became the father of injunct ions.

signs of this character a.bout 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 valuatipn is
put on property. Consequently Medford
does not impress the homeseeker as being
"under the hammer." This is as it should
be.
