THE WAT Kit QUESTION.
" By an overwhelming majority the people of Medford
have declared for the Hamilton Little Butte water propo
sition, a result not 'unexpected. Prejudice, rather than
reason, determined the result.
The people were prejudiced in favor of a gravity sys
tem, and would not listen to arguments concerning a pump
'in.r niTiii.isition. no matter how much monev would be
"b I' "I
saved thereby.
The eoile were prejudiced, and unreasonably so,
against Rogue river, one of the finest streams in the coun
,trv, and would hear nothing favorable concerning it.
' The people were prejudiced against anything even re
motely suggesting a partnership with a corporation, and
would not consider the merits of any proposition that did
not provide direct municipal control.
Lastly were the prejudices of the people against the
Condor Water & Power company, a concern that has in
vested over a million dollars in Jackson county, and there
by incurred the unreasonable prejudice of those that have
little against those that have much. Everyone pays month
ly light bills and many cherish foolish resentment against
the common creditor.
The Tribune has never editorially advocated any one
water proposition. It has given facts regarding each, so
that all sides of the (piestion could be studied by the people
and left the choice to the people. It fought the star cham
ber proceedings of the water committee, whereby it was
sought to tie up with "Wasson canyon, and it successfully
prevented the consummation of the deal in order to let the
people rule. It hopes the people have chosen wisely. Now
that thy have chosen, it is the duty of all to pull together, to
forget factional differences, to work for the common good,
the future of Medford.
There is no question but that the city will secure an
ample supply, and if the quality is questioned, filtration
will remedy any possible defect. If possible, steel pipe
should replace the proposed wood pipe, as being more dur
able, but this depends upon the money available.
With the best water system in Oregon assured, the one
drawback to Med ford's growth is remedied, the most vex
atious problem settled, as it should be, by those who pay the
bills, and The Tribune will be found leading the van, work
ing for a greater Medford.
CAUSE OF LANDSLIDE NOVEMBER
"The Morning Mail supported Judge Taft. Well,
what was the result t Well, everybody knows that Mr.
Taft will be the next president of the United States."
This modest claim is from that delectable sheet, "The
Medford Mail." The entire country has puzzled over the
cause of the Taft landslide; now we know the whyness. It
was the Medford Mail's support. Without it, Taft faced
certain annihilation. It saved the day and turned over
whelming defeat into overwhelming victory.
Carry the good news to Taft. The Mail's support
swung New York 200,000 strong into the Taft column. It
swept Ohio, Indiana and Illinois into the O. O. P. and it
made a tie vote in those democratic strongholds, Marvland
and Kentucky. Of Tal't's l!07 votes, probal.lv, at a con
servative estimate, IWO are due to the Mail's support. On
such a showing, Taft. ought to grant another immunity
bath. f sn'
In Medford and Jackson county-only did the Mail's
influence fail to be effective. In Jackson comity there
were 1 .-) more republican voters registered than there
were democratic, yet Taft's plurality was cut to a bare
")00. Taft got a little more than half the plurality that
Hawley got in June for congress, and Roosevelt's plural
ity of 12(H) four years ago was fearfully diminished. In
Medford, Ilawley's plurality of 2.10 was cut to !)() for Taft
showing the effect of the Mail's support, but elsewhere
in hip limn the Mail swept everything for Taft. It is
truly a remarkable paper, ami what Watterson is the dem
ocratic party, Bliton is to the republican.
"The publisher ,f The Tribune will undoubtedly awak
en tins nH.rning with a Mark brown' taste in his mouth."

"Very few men brush their hair
enough," said a downtown barber.
"Fact Most Ills of the scalp can be
traced to that fault You see It's this
way: A man is generally In a hurry '
when be dresses, and he never takes
time to brush bis hair simply smooths '.
It down, generally only with n comb 1
and as a result duudruir Is allowed to i
accumulate and trouble begins. Now. 1
wltb a woman It's different. A woman
has to carefully brush her hair at least
once a day. If sbe didn't It would lie
a pretty mess. It's very length saves
her, for In brushing It each day she 1
gets out all sorts of ImpurltleB, dim
druflf and the like, all of which Is for
ber own good. Now, that Is the chief
reason why fewor women suffer from
dandruff limn the unfortunate mem
bers of the opposite sex, and It Is also
tbe reason why tbe hair Is a woman's
crowning glory even if sbe Is fair,
fat and forty. So brush your hair
every morning thoroughly if you want
