: PRESIDENT TAFT
STARVES ASSISTANTS
NOT WILFULLY, BUT BECAUSE HE
DOES NOT TAKE LUNCH HOUR
AS DID PRES. ROOSEVELT.
WASHINGTON, March 20. President
Taft is starving his secretaries, stenog
raphers, telegraph operators and messen
gers. It. isn't because he is penurious or
hard-hearted, or because he wishes to
deprive his subordinates of food, but
because he does not eat any midday
meal himself, thM 2.i or JO husky young
men about the executive offices are go
ing n round with a famished look in
th ir eyes and praying that hunger may
overtake their new chief.
Pi evident Roosevelt always went to
l i. luncheon at 1:30 p. m. and remain
ed up at the "Big Houee" until 3. Oft
en he did not come back at all, but
from luncheon went out for a ride with
Mrs. Roosevelt or some of his friends.
NVw all is changed. There is no such
thing as "lunch hour." Mr. Taft oc
casionally cate an apple about noon, but
n-ver anything more substantial, and
seems to thrive, grow strong and remain
cheerful on nothing p.t nil from 8 a. m.
until 7 p. m.
Moreover, the employes at the White
House have discovered thus early in the
administration that President Taft is a
glutton for work, if be is not for food,
nil-', not thinking about luncheon him
self, forget r that anyone else can be
hungry, and driven the force right ahead
1h.ii after hour so long as (here is any
ivuk in sight.

BY OVERWHELMING VOTE NEW
COMPANY IS GRANTED PER
MIT IN THE CITY.
The Citizens' Telephone company won
out in the special election held Friday
by a vote of J22 to a vote of IL'-'i. Tin
citizens of Medford told the company
to get busy. The vote by wards was;
First ward: Yes N2, no 4'i; Second ward.
Yes I HI, No 4; Third ward. Yes Htl.
No 31.
During the past ft w weeks both of
the companies made hard fight, 1 hough
clean one, but failed signally in stir
ring up public interest. The old coin
pnny carried their campaign on by Kliip
ping in carloads of material and start
ing immediate work in constructing n
now system, as they have promised to
do from time to titno in the past. Tin-
public, however, showed by its vote yes
terday that their activities along this
line started too late.
Bert Anderson, who has handled tin-
fight for the new company, states that
tho result was what ho expected ii
would be. The new company will now
