CITY SHOULD UE I'ltOTKCTKD.
A. casual reading of I lie ordinance providing a contract
lwtwccii the cil v and l. L. Hamilton for a water system dis
closes no provision guaranteeing the length of life of the
wood pipe to he used.
AYood pipe is said to he of short li fe and unsatisfactory.
However, the people voted for wood pipe in preference to
steel, so they should have what they want. At the same
time, there ought to he some guarantee of the pipe hy the
contractors.
The proposed contract provides that the pipe should
he construct ed upon plans anad specifications and under
the supervision of the city's engineer. The only clause
in the proposed contract concerning final acceptance of
the pipe jvads as follows:
" The testing of the pipeline will consist of filling the
same with water, from settling basins to distributing sys
tem, and closing any leaks showing after three weeks un
der full pressure. The final acceptance of the pipe will he
made only after the same shall have been in satisfactory
operation for U0 days after the closing of all leaks."
In other words, if the pipe works satisfactorily for 150
days, it is up to the city to stand the responsibility there
after. If the pipe is not worth guaranteeing at least a
year, is it worth purchasing I hi purchasing pipe of any
kind, it is customary to demand a guaranty for a certain
length of time.
Some safeguard should be provided the city before the
contract is signed. It is up to the mayor and council to
see that the city is protected.

What is the matter with the city's paving !
The contract was let in mid-suninier and here it is the
middle of November, and but two or three blocks paved,
and it has taken six weeks to finish them.
The- Warren Construction company was late in "get
ting started and shifted the blame onto the city for not
(. having its rock crushing plant in readiness. Long ago, the
rock was delivered and still the progress made is exas
perathigly slow. Today, for instance, only two or three
men were at work, when there should have been fifty.
The winter rains are likely to commence any day, and
then it will be impossible to pave, and another winter will
ho spent wallowing in the mire.
Who is to blame V If the contractors, the penalty
should be enforced. Jf the city, there is no excuse, and
the delinquent officials should be made known.
Six months to pave a mile of streets! Jt would not be
. tolerated anywhere else; but public matters seem to go
haphazard in Medford. There is rank inefficiency somewhere.
MAURICE HAAS PULLED TEIOOEE
WHO INSPIRED THE DEED?
(Sucrauu-nto Bee.)
It ia high time the people of Cali
fornia jmiiKt'd and noted whither wo are
drifting. When a public proaecutor with
the determination aud disinterestedness
in the cause of good government of
FruuciHco J. lieney ia abet down in a
public courtroom like a dog, It , has
struck the hour of noon when the ua
corrupt and the unanarcbistic elements
of society should combine to strength
en the public sentiment and deepen the
public voico in strong reinforcements
to the cause of public honor, public hon
only and public decency.
And when an evidently weak-minded
criminal, a moral Idiot, an irresponsible
uuud unbalanced thug, justifies his mur
derous ussnult with the declaration that
he used the pistol, as Charlotte Corduy
t ho dagger, in "the cause of human
ity," the men and women of California
wiio still believe public integrity is not
yet a lost virtue, a discarded heirloom
of our futhers, should arise in their
righteous indignation to rebuke those
elements in society, in commercialism,
iu journalism aye. in the church itself
which liavo been as the match of laud-1
-I If lu purpose to the powder of man's
smoldering bittornees. j
When social circles draw their skirts
aside as the wives of those engaged in .
irri-nt and grand public duty pass by, i
how can Maurice Ilaaa be vehemently
leiiouuced because be had come to the
conclusion mat me puDiic imeveg auu
the public scoundrels are the benefactors
of Sun Francisco, and that the public
prosecution, is composed of infumous
A-retchc and Notro-like persecutors,
whoso dentil would bo blessed by God
is being "in the cause -of Immunity!"
When the merchant classes of Sun
1-Valleiseo, the banking circles, t lie com
mercial iiilereHls generully, have to Bueli
l great extent patted the higher emu-
ti 1 1 1 h on the back, and have taken no
puins to conceal their nvorsion to every
Hurt to bring them to pumshmont
have shown their hatred of the graft
oinseeution in thoir teeth who Bhall
iny that Maurice Uaus alone wub guil
ty when he took upon himself the task
f another Brutusf
Society, tho church, journalism, com-
nerciiiliKui euch and every ono needs
o purify itself each and every ono
its own akirta before it Dointa the fin-'
ier of scorn at Maurice Haas, the agent
f a shameful combination of debaaed
md 'shnmeless public teachers.
Whether Francis J. Heney live or not,
his blood may prove a blessing to Cal-
fornia if it reawakens, rcvivifios, and
lerinniiently strengthens it public sonti
lent purposely and designedly woaken
d by constnnt efforts on the part of
itlhlic mentors, who have degraded their
high anil noble callings to become Ben-
'diet Arnolds to the army of public
honor and . Indus Iseariots in tho cntlso
if coimminul integrity.
Tho blood of the martyrs is the soed

is .1. Honey wilt not have boon spent

leternitnution to trent that journalism,
that commercialism, that society, that
ninistry which prostitittoB itself at tho
foot of a thieving and an unclean Mum- j
ion as etiunlly as guilty and as infu- j
nous as n Maurice lluas jvho points tho '
gun and pulls tho triggor.
SALEM BEER
SALEM is the most popular beer in Northern
California and Southern Oregon. It is acknowl
edged to be the equal of the very best eastern
product. All beers are good, but some beers are
liked better than others. The proof for this as
sertion lies in drinking Salem beer. If you wish
to be convinced, ask for Salem beer and drink it.

.Possibly .Mr. Scott might, increase his fame by public
office, hut there is nothing else he could possibly gain by
it. lie would honor the office more than the office would
honor him, as the senate is nowadays constituted. There

seen generations of office holders arise and be forgotten

country, and for half a century its greatest editor, aud
the creator of its greatest newspaper, Harvey .Scott 's place
in history is secure. What could the presideucv have done

Jo Uiarlos 1. Ilaxelrigg the thanks of the people of

munity. The drop curtain, plastered with advertising, is
an eyesore, but the artist, like the Cheyenne cowboy, has
probably "done his damu'dest - angels could do no more."
Considering (he means at bis command and the difficulties
that hedged about him. the result is most creditable to Mr.
IFazelrigg, who has hail but slight assistance from those
who could and should have lent a hand.
