rT"IlE ladies of tho Greater Medford club arc to be con
gratulated upon the success of their very creditable
Sunday edition of the Mail Tribune. The generous re
sponse from advertisers insured the success of the enter
prise financially.
Enough advertising was received to have justified a
32-page pjapcr, but advertisers did not send in copy early
enough to permit another section. A page of advertising
was crowded out. As it was, nearly 2-100 inches of adver
tising were set, which is going somo for a country office.
Guts made for the edition did not arrive in time for
use, and will be printed in next Sunday's issue. Many of
the special articles also crowded out will be printed then.

ference of the Christian church of Pittsburg, and now he
is in the midst of a campaign to put his idea before the
country.
Pence wants the states to ratify the income tax amend
ment to the Constitution and then go on record as favor
ing the abolishment of the present internal revenue taxes
on liquor. He declares that this will solve the question of
the rights of the states in dealing with the liquor prob
lem. Pence argues this way:
"The internal revenue taxes on .liquor were levied orig
inally way back in the reconstruction period after the civil
war. It was intended to replenish a depleted treasury.
President Iincoln only assented to the lev" on this-under-standing.
But Lincoln died from an assassin's bullet and
for some inscrutable reason the law was never repealed.
Uncle Sam has been making money out of the whisky busi
ness ever since. It is a good source of revenue. In these
times of billion dollar congresses the government couldn't
afford to lose as tidy a sum as the distillers and brewers
pay into the treasury.
"The distillers and brewers aren't anxious to have the
levy repealed. Uncle Sam gives them a measure of pro
tection against the enforcement of certain state laws in
return for the tax. They are willing to pay it. "
Pence proposes to solve the problem by repealing the
measure and substituting as a revenue producer the income
tax. He has figured out that this will more than cover the
receipts which the government gets from the internal rev
enue taxes. He contends that it will give the states a free
hand in dealing with the liquor problems.
The former congressman is planning a non-partisan
campaign of education to put his plan before the people.
He will head a delegation which will meet Roosevelt and
try to get him to endorse the scheme.. He also will seek
the approval of William Jennings Bryan.

In a government bulletin issued by the hydrographic
office feare are expressed that the close approach of Hal
le' 's comet to the earth, beginning today and lasting until
Thursday, may seriously interfere with ships,' compasses
and wireless messages.
The bulletin says in part:
"It is possible that during the approach and recession
of Halfey's comet unusual electro-magneto phenomena
may occur. Electro-magneto magnets may be sent up by
electrical discharges or meteoric particles, in which case
disturbances would be observed in the receiving apparatus
of wireless installations. The maximum effect will be ob
served between the 16th and 20th of May, and particularly
on May 18.
"It is requested that wireless operators pay particular
attention to static effects during this period, and note any
thing unusual. The occurrence of meteorites should be
logged by the watch officer, with details of time, size, di
rection and duration. The operator hearing unusual
noises in the telephone, should note tho time, and see
whether there were any meteorites observed at that time;
also the ship's head and the direction of the antennae at the
same time.
"As the compass may alsojjc. affeoteda 'close watch
should be kept for unusual deflections of tho-neodlejjiotiiig
