The matter of selecting a court house site is causing
a great deal of discussion around the county seat at pre­
sent. O11 the ballot we are given the right to vote for
or against the building of the courthouse and also for or
against the Washington school site. It is up to the city
of Medford to support the county court house for two
more years so we can see little cause to get excited < ver
the issue at this early date. Many changes might take
place within the next two years and should we vote for
the Washington school site and then something better
should present itself we would be terribly disappointed. So
far as convenience is concerned the Armory site is more
easily accessible to the greater portion of the county than
the Washington school site but we have a hunch that a
better site than either of these can be chosen in the city
of Medford and one which does not neccessitate a lot
of red tape or the destruction of any present structure. Be­
sides, if the Washington school site is chosen the property
must yet be obtained from the school district and that
entails some little manipulation, itself. We hope the voters
will not be too hasty in casting their votes on this question.

After all we have heard about the terrors of prohibi­
tion and also from our own observation we wonder whether
prohibition has brought on the present moral slump or
whether the change of standards has not brought about the
disregard for the prohibition laws.
When w t consider the changes which have taken
place in this country in the past decade and a half we are
inclined to believe that the prohibition situation is merely
a natural result of a so-called social liberty which has been
assumed in this nation. Just so long as the dear girlies
who are diestined to be the mothers of our coming gener­
ation insist upon displaying their right to equal ligerties
with men by practicing up agitating a cocktail shaker
instead of rocking a cradle, just so long will the moral con­
ditions of the nation become worse instead of better; and
all this regardless of whether we have prohibition, regula­
tion or the open saloon.

After Friday of this week, we wil be assured of one
thing, the candidates who will represent their party in the
fall elections will be chosen and something else will have
to be used to excite the people then for a few months until
the general election “gets hot.”
No matter who is nominated and elected we will still
have just as many problems as ever----- There will he
highways which should be built and are not, the farmers
will need relief they will not get, there Will be unemploy­
ment, high power rates, high taxes, chain stores and a lot
of other evils to afflict.
