The war between the rival tele­
phone companies in Medford ts be­
coming acute. A young lady "cen­
tral" quit her Job with the Bell peo­
ple this week and immediately took
another in the "Home" office. That
is, she went and got married.

it should become, with prospepets for mining and industrial develop­
ment never brighter, and best of all, with a united, never-let up
spirit pervading the place, the coming twelvemonth should be Gold
Hill’s best year. Advancement should be the watchword for 1912,
and with the present impetus sustained, there will be such advance­
ment as Southern Oregon has never seen. Watch Gold Hill grow !

However, it is interesting to note that the negative debaters,
champions of a hopelessly forlorn hope, ordered into a forensic

were declared winners by a unanimous vote of the judges.

Good Unk Walt Mason, wise old
jay, who for writing verse draws
down real pay— which is more, alas,
than I can say—relieves his mind in
this easy way:
I shot an arrow into the air; it
fell in the distance. I knew not
where, till a neighbor said it killed
his calf, and I had to pay him six and
a half.
I bought some poison to kill some
rats, and a neighbor swore it killed
his cats; and, rather than argue
across the fence, I paid him four dol­
lars and fifty cents.
One night I set sailing a toy bal­
loon, and hoped it would soar till it
reached the moon; but the candle
fell out on a farmer’s straw, and he
said I must settle or go to law.
And that is the way with a ran­
dom shot, it never hits the proper
spot; and the joke you may spring
that you think so smart may leave a
wound in some fellow’s heart.
Maybe it’s father, maybe it's
brother, and maybe it’s fo r
some other girl’s brother,

GOVERNOR WEST MEDDLING WITH “ STABLE" METHODS

A P resen t for "H im"
HE subject of a recent debate between pupils of the Gold Hill
high school was: “ Resolved, That a High School Education 1»
Beneficial.” Since when has there been any question about itf What
eonacientious high school student could take the negative of such
a question and argue it with any heart or effect f While the edu­
cational uses of debate are unquestionable, it would seem that some
more mooted question than this could easily have beeu selected. The
negative champion of such a question, realising that he or she was
figuratively “ barking at a knot,” could not put up even a passably
plausible argument. There are live questions »-plenty—world,
national, local and a horde of others—open to debate. Why not pick
a question of some dignity and possible educational value—if these
debates are intended to be of educational value, which is undoubt­
edly the case.

methods of government that Governor West hns been trying to clean
up ever since his inauguration—he and Ben Olcott, his secretary of
state. To the Oregonian this is nothing less than saereligious
meddling.
By all means, the governor should let the Salem “ stables” stand
as they have always stood. Don’t clean out a single stall. Don’t
let in the light. Don’t ventilate. Let every old departmental
grafter continue to munch at the public crib. Lead out uo worth­
less old nag that has been eating his head off—at public expense—
for years. Don’t touch a single sacred, stinking straw of the old
“ stable” method of government. Don’t make state institutions self-
supporting. Don’t give penitentiary inmates a chance at useful
labor in the open air, under the broad blue sky. Keep them penned
up like cattle—such was the “ stable” method In vogue aforetime,
good enough since time began, good enough now. always and forever.
Yes, Governor West “ has got” into trouble because of his pro­
gressive, humanitarian policies. But the seat of the trouble is in the
editorial stomach of the Oregonian; also the location of the most
pitiful and apparently the most chronic case of aggravated moRs-
back dyspepsia on record.
West has made good. He h manfully performing a mighty task
—the cleansing of the Augean “ stable” of state government. And
he “ has got” —not into trouble, except as already noted—the mighty
river of public sentiment in Oregon behind him in his tremendous
undertaking.
