LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE IT. .
It seems a wise move to let the people of Medford vote
on the wet and dry question, and tips decision be binding
upon the council.
The factional fight between prohibitionists and anti
prohibitionists has injured Medford -more than any one
thing during the past six months, and it will be an excel
lent thing to have it ended.
Only as a united city can progress be made by Medford.
Discord and bickering, business boycotts and ill will, all
operate to the detriment of any place and it is this soil
of thing that knocks cities more-effectually -than anything
else.
The people of Medford had no trouble in settling the
water question -when the council couldn't. rThey should
have none in settling the booze problem. The city char
ter confers upon the citizens the power and right so
let use be made of it for neither this or any council will
, agree upon it.
Not the least of the advantages gained will be the open
ing of the way to secure the right kind of -men for city
officials. Few business moji care to mix in the wet and
dry fight, or become partisans in at and with it pending,
would refuse to serve. With it removed, the principal
objections also go.
Prospects are excellent for a fine class of candidate?
.for Medford citizens, to choose from for city officials.
Mr, J. A.' Perry,- the first one to enter "the lists for tin
mayoralty, is well -known (is , a, progressive citizen and
business man. fie served for a year as president of tin
Medford Commercial oluband is favorably known in com
mercial circles as manager of the Rogie River Fruitgrow
ers' Exchange. -Let other business men of -equal stand
ing and repute show their public spirit by offering theii
services to the community.
Judge Colvig .made a decided hit representing tlu
Rogue River valley at the 'Admen's Apple night at Port
land, and gave Med ford a hit of good advertising among
those -who write ads, and so where it counts best and his
efforts go a long .way.to juake up for the lack of progres
siveness shown by orchardists in not exhibiting their prod
uces. ' i

EDWIN MABKHAM WRITES
SECOND ORE AT POEM
Kdwin Murkhum, who mude a world
wide reputation a few years ago with
his poorn "T ho Man With tho Hoe'
has written for the Christmas Woman's
Home Companion n poem thai a con
Bidor'.'d to be even gruuter than "The
Man With the Hue." Many who have
rend Mark-ham's new poem, "Before tho
(jotpelH Were." consider it the greatest
vertio of recent y ars. "Before ' tho
Gospels Wore. tells, with wonderful
poetic imagination, tho story of the
gathering together tho mutenula for
tho gospels of Christ's disciples after
his nNcenriion. Never before bus there
been presented so illuminating a- pic
ture of what Chrlnt's life meant to hit
diseipleu nnd why It was so accurately
reflected in their gospels.
.The opening verse of tho poem is:
Long noons and evenings after bo was
gone,
Mary the Mother, Matthew, Luke and
John,
And all those who loved Him to tho last,
Went over all the marvel of the past
Went over all the old familiar ways
With tender talk of dear remombered
dnys.
They walked tho roads that never gave
Him rest
Past Jordan 's ford, past Kedron 's
bridge,
(Tp Olivet, up Hermon 's ridge,
To that l:iHt roud, tho one they loved the
b nt.
The climax of the poem in reached in
tho last verse, which sums up ull the
the thoughts that have been expressed
in tho preceding liues:
So huddling often by the chimney blaze
Or going down tho old remembered ways
On many a lingering walk,
They held their wonder talk,
Minding each other of some sacred spot,
Minding each other of a wordforgot ;
So gathering up till I'll tk- whispered
words
Went to the four winds like n flight of
birds.
