affirming; the decision by Circuit Judge
H. K. Hanna.
Special Charter for Medford
Briefly stated, the facts are that the
local option law was adopted In 1904
permitting the people to vote by pre
clncts or by counties on the llo.uor ques
lion. In 1905 the legislature amended
the Medford charter authorizing lhat
city, among other things, to license the
sale of liiiuor "Irrespective of any gen
eral law of the state on this subject en
.Actd by the Legislature or by the peo-
le at large. In 190 tbe liquor ques
tion was submitted In Jackson County
as a whole and the county went dry
"v a vote of 2138 to 18S1. At that tlma
J. C. Hall held a saloon license In Med
ford, and when the County Court was
about to enter an order prohibiting the
'sale of liquor In Jackson County he
-t. rough t an Injunction suit to enjoin the
'Countv Court from so doing so far as
-the mandate might affect the City of
'Medford. A demurrer interposed by the
defendants was overruled and the in
-Junction masle permanent; whereupon
the County Court appealed. After stat
ing the facts at some length, the opln
Ion of the Court holds that this Is i
proper case for the exercise of jurisdic

evidently reaching this conclusion, at th
rrxt filnn aftr the enactment of the

jtalllles charters, in aome of which tt was
provided that the power conrerrea. 10 li
cense the sale of Intoxicating liquors, should
e subject to the provisions of the local
ptlon liquor law. A clause to that effect
anoears In the ehart-r of Brownsville, of
lialaer and of Junction City. Other char-
lers were granted at the same time, con
taining clause which were evidently in
tended to exempt certain municipalities
from the operation of the provisions of the
1-M-al opiion enactment. Tbus the charter
cf ve-dun stipulates:
Bperifle In Condon's Charter.
No provUJons of th law concerning th
sale of liquor In (.illiara 1'ounty
or any law of the Klat of Oregon now or
hereafter enacted, shall apply to the sal
of the some In th City of Condon.
The charters of Kstarada and Medford
rontaln similar provisions.
It Is quite prohable that the attempt
thus to exempt the cities of Condon. -Eeta-cada
and Medford from the provisions of
the local option law. and to prevent any
further encroachments thereon Impelled the
amendment tin l'.HMi of section 2 of ar
ticle 11 of the organic law of th stale, so
es to prohibit the legislative Assembly
from enacting, amending or repealing any
municipal charter, and also Induced the
granting of such power to the legal voters
of every city and town, but limiting their
authority; In such enactments as might con
travene the I'onstitutlon or subvett the
criminal laves of the state. The local op
tion liquor enactment has been held to be
a criminal law. the provisions of which
cannot be violated by the electors of a
municipality In legislating In respect to a
cuy charter.
The opinion also holds that the amended
IMedford charter expressly repeals the
local option law so far as It applies to
Medford and that It would have such ef
fect by Implication If It did not ex
pressly. Decision Not of Wide Effect.
The decision of the Supreme Court, in
the Medford liquor caee Is not of very
wide effect, since the decision can apply
only to Medford. Condon and Estacada.
These were the only cities that had char
ter bills passed In 19"5 giving them con
trol of the liquor traffic, and since that
time It has been Impossible for any other
city to secure a charter of that kind. In
iv the amendment ' was adopted giving
citiee exclusive power to adopt their char
ters, 'subject to tho Constitution and
criminal laws of the state."
The Supreme Court had held that the
1-ical option law Is a criminal law. and no
!ty charter adopted eince 1906 can evado
the local option law. Bven these three
e-:ies can be voted dry" by an amend
ment to their charters.
The Anti-fSaloon people have taken
:reat interest In the Medford case, as
suming that the decision that would be
rendered by the Supreme Court would be
sweeping effect. It Is said that the
Anti-Saloon people upent considerable
money fighting the case and that they are
considerably wrought up over the de
cision. As a matter of fact, the decision
la of consequence and can be of conse- I
(juence in only the three cities mentioned.
To illustrate the situation under the law
iir.d the decisions that have been ren
dered: Special rrlvilojre Lftnited.
Albany Is a city In a -dry" county. If
the city should attempt to amend Its
charter so as to authorize the sate of
liquor, the charter would he Invalid In
Tliat respect, because In contravention of
that section of the Constitution which
provides that city charters must be 'sub
ject to the I'onstitutlon and criminal laws
of the state." In the case of Fonts vs.
Hood River, the Supreme Court held that
the loe.tl option law is a criminal law.
If a large number of cities had obtained
charters ln"l6 granting them the power
To license the sale of liquor. regardless
of th local option law. the decision
would have had a wid effect, but a
search of the records shows that only
these three cities, whose charters were
enacted In that year, contained the clause
granting this power. There were several
cities whose charters of that year au
thorized the licensing of saloons, but they
did not expreasly annul the effect of the
local option law. and the Supreme Court
l-.oMs In the rase of Rensliaw vs. the City
of Fiigene. that these charters were
merely re-enactments of existing charters
and did not take the cities out from under
the limitations of the local option law.
All charters enacted prior to 1S06 wergj
superseded by the local option law. so far
as control oi tne liquor iramc is con
, --r" In a town la oxjr wnwn;,
charters enacted since 1905 are controlled
by the provision that all charters must be
"subject to the criminal laws of the
state." Only those charters enacted In
1905 which expressly exempted the cities
from the provisions of the state liquor
laws had the effect of evading the local
option law, as shown above, there were
three of these. Medford, Condon and Estacada-
The people of these three cities
can make them dry by amending their
charters, so as to make them subject to
the criminal laws of the state.
SAYS IT'S AGAINST BRYAN
Socialist Sympathizer Concedes Mr.
Taft's Election.
PORTLAJTD, Oct. 22. (To the Editor.)
I venture to comment on the returns of
the coming Presidential election and The
Oregonian's editorial of Tuesday, re
garding the vote of large cities, etc. as
some others see It. The present Indus
trial depression will find a more decided
far-reaching result than "Bryanlsm." The
drifting vote that ta lost to Mr. Taft
will not find Its final analysis In Mr.
Bryan, but in Mr. Debs and socialism.
Mr. Taft's loss cannot be Mr. Bryan's
gain, as was Harrlson"s to Cleveland.
Onlv a minority of the gaunt, hungry,
and dissatisfied will drift into the Demo
cratic party. There ever remains too
vivid a remembrance of the panic of '93-4,
to which is coupled the Socialist agita
tion, that has come since the election of
Cleveland, who had no Socialist party
to reckon with. In this campaign and
the very probable event of the election

Ni-.V YORK, Oct. 27. (Special.) Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler Is making a
whirlwind campaign in New York state against Governor Hughes, and his
backers feel confident he has a good chance of election. The feeling against
Governor Hughes among the "personal liberty" people in New York City Is
very strong. It is not enough to say that they represent the gambling and
sporting element. There is a large element outside sporting circles which
believes In personal liberty and which has always resented the restrictions
of the Sunday liquor law and other legislation made for the special regula
tion of the big city by lawmakers from the country. This element is op
posed to Governor Hughes, and will in some measure offset the large class of
decent citizens of both parties who are always opposed to all that Tammany
represents.
of Mr. Taft, the Republican party should
not be deceived into basing their victory
upon their own virtues, but to the exist
ence of a class-conscious Socialist party
and a general political reconstruction.
The questions The Oregonian asks and
accusations made regarding the working
man. fail to satisfy the enlightened So
cialist, who Is always on the alert to
fill the listening ear with class-conscious
argument that-seldom fails to reach him.
As for the "congestion of cities, let
me ask if the farm work is undone? Is
there not enough coal dug to supply the
need? Are we short of lumber and build
ing material?
While admitting that prices for all pro
ducts are normally high, there is no
shortage. W do not have a correspond
ing wage for farm labor that averages
with farm product. Factory wages are
guarded more or less by labor unions,
and wages are somewhat better there
for.
The evil lies not In the Indolence of the
worker, but In the fact that no man
hath hired us." The reason of the lack
of a master to hire, lies In the fact that
there is no profit in the hiring: which Is
the Socialist contention, and the gist of
the whole matter.
The combined harvester, the gang and
steam plows, the milking machine, and
improved machinery in every vocation of
life has displaced the hired man and no
man can hire him with orofit.
If W. J. Bryan Is elected President, it
will not be by the vote or consent of
class-conscious Socialists, of whom a very
large majority of the floating vote of
large cities and industrial centers Is com
posed.
Mr. Taft stands clearly for propertied
class interests. Socialists stand for labor
ing class Interests and emphasize their
betterment in increased wages; which
strikes directly at the Interest of the
propertied class. These two factors are
rapidly forming into opposing columns.
The question of Mr. Bryan's election lies
altogether In the distinction between these
two classes and the intelligence and edu
cation of the masses to comprehend them.
Socialists believe that the last two pan
ics and the Intervening period of class
education has placed the Republican and
Socialist parties too far apart for Mr.
Bryan to make the straddlethis year.

himself and associate railroad employes
wrote to the President, asking how
they could best serve their own inter

President's reply urged the support of
Mr. Taft for the Presidency and dis
cussed at .length the candidate's atti
tude on questions affecting labor. In
his letter Mr. Fuller says:
Says Roosevelt Misled Grace.
I am at a loss to understand why Mr.
Grace should seelc information and advice
regarding Judge Taft's attitude toward th
railroad employes of th country from th
very one whose Influence, and administration
were used to bring about his nomination and
Is now blng used to secure his election,
when Mr. Taft's labor decisions have been
discussed in the lodgerootns and printed and
commented upon In the magazines of th
various organisations of labor. Including
those 'of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, of which Grace and myself are mem
bers. Had he consulted such publications, he
would have been given the complete tabor
record of Mr. Taft rather than a partial one,
and both he and his follow employes through
out the country who read your reply would
be hi possession of the facts rather than be
ing In the position of having been misled
by the President of the I'nlted States. The
most important of Mr. Taft's labor record
is conspicuous by its absence from your re
ply, and It Is to supply this deficiency that
I wrote this letter.
Taft Approved Reduction.
Mr. Fuller then refers to the decision
of Judge Taft in the United States Cir
cuit Court for the Southern District of
Ohio, April 30. 1894. declining the peti
tion of the employes of the Cincinnati,
New. Orleans & Texas Pacific Railroad,
that an order of the receiver reducing
wages ten per cent be rescinded. He
quotes at length from the decision in
which Judge Taft states that "from a
strictly legal standpoint the employes
ha.e no standing In this court to call
for an adjudication of any rights. The
court Is limited In the exercise of its
discretion to such action as may be
consistent with the preservation of the
property and its administration in the
Interests of those who own it."
The reduction waa approved.
. Cnt Pay for Overtime.
May 31 following Mr. Fuller's letter
states, the employes petitioned the
court to direct the receiver to modify
th wage scale, which Judge Taft de
clined to do.. The decision on this por
tion Is quoted at length. Including ref
erence to a change in pay for overtime,
which virtually was a reduction in
wages. Trainmen theretofore had been
paid overtime when a train was over
35 minutes late, but by a ruling of the
receiver this was cnanged to overtime
for two hours or more late, the receiv
er alleging that under the old rule
trains were unnecessarily delayed. The
decision upheld this change. It also
recites, that while some of the roads
in the same district were paying higher
wages for similar service, others were
paving the same or less.
Mr. Fuller contends tnat it is an in
justice to compel employer to work
overtime without compensation.
He then cites decisions of other Fed
eral Judges In what he contends are
similar cases, where proposed reduc
tions In wages by receivers are pro
hibited by the court.

With the approach of the Presidential

amendments to the city charter. It Is
stated that the objectionable features Jn
corporated in the amendments last De
cember will be eliminated. One change
that was then advocated, that of giving
publicity to proposed ordinances by post

for the cost of Improving streets.
It has been suggested that the number
of Councllmen be reduced rrom nine to

TACOMA. Wash.. Oct. 27. (Special.) A
special to the Ledger from Hot Springs,
Wash., says:
Lying face downward beside a fallen
tree about one and one-half miles from
the spot where the body of his com
panion, Julius Kumle, was found Sunday,
the body of Fred W. Kloeber was dis
covered by bloodhounds this afternoon on
Rooster Comb range.
Mr. Kloeber came to his death as the
result of an accident. Tne position of the
body indicated that he stumbled over the
log and in doing so struck his head on
a fir tree breaking his neck. When found
he was lying on his face, his gun under
him. His face was bruised and his Jaw
dislocated. Marks on the log proved that
he had fallen over it. probably while feel
ing hlssway along in the darkness.
That Kloeber was killed within a short
time after leaving his companion" body,'
and killed instantly, is conclusively
shown. He had never moved from the
position In which he fell, his .gun was
still grasped In his left hand and under
him. His gloves were on ana noi in rne
slightest drawn as though he was suffer
ing from pain. He must nave oeen
traveling very fast to have received an
Injury so extensive.
Mr. Kloebers body was round at a
point directly opposite to that he should
have taken.
Mr. Kloeber was -born in Marion. a.. In
1873. and his early work was In the news
paper field, -he being connected wltn tne
Washington branch of the Associated
Press and ths United Press Association,

leading Chicago dailies. He afterward
went to Chicago, and in 1901 came to the
Green River Hot Springs to associate him

NEW YORK. Oct. 37. William H. Taft
was praised and William J. Bryan de
nounced today by Attorney-General
Bonaparte at a noonday meeting of the
Commercial Travelers' Sound Money
League. He said that after years of In
timate association with Mr. Taft in Presi

where he could find a man more fitted
by character, experience and public ser
vice to be President of the United States
than Mr. Taft. Then he accused Mr.
Bryan of taking up and supporting poli

they had become untimely.
Referring to Samuel Gompers friend
ship for Mr. Bryan and suggesting that
Mr. Gompers might be made Secretary
of the Department "of Commerce and
Labor if Mr. Bryan Is elected, Mr. Bona

Are they the sort of men that you
would want to have at the head of the
Government? In case there should be a
serious business depression and thou
sands of men thrown out of work, would
you want men to deal with such a crisis,
who are liberal in making promises but
forget about them when the time comes

Knox, who was shot by her insane hus
band yesterday, died this morning. The
husband imagines that those around him
are trying to poison him, and has taken
no nourishment since Monday morning.
He appreciates the fact that he killed
his wife, but does not regret it, believ
ing, he says, it was for the best and
that he saved her from electrocution.

"Home Phone" service to Pueret Sound.
