WHAT MAKES HOME.
If I bad wealth and I bad health,
And I'd a roof above mc.
If I'd a wife, to cheer my life,
But' not one child to love me,
No rosjvlipped young laughing miss,
No bright-eyed roguish laddies,
I'd searclr the town, both up and
down,
Till one should call mo daddie.
r would not have a roof that ne'er
Knew sound of childish chatter,
Nor keep a fioor untoddlcd o'er
By little feet that patter.
Nor. "would I hang upon my walls
Great pictures just to show them,
Unless a tot had left a lot
Of fiiiger marks below them.
2 would not like to settle down
Within my old arm chair,
And take my ease, with emptv knees:
I want a youngster there.
Likewise, with everything I have,
How incomplete 'twould be,
Unless I had a girl or lad
To share it all with me.
And so I say, if I had wealth
And had a roof above mo,
If I'd a wife to cheer my life,
But had no child to love me,
Then I would search both up and
down,
To beg or buy or borrow,
A child to bo a part of me
I'd have one here tomorrow.

MEDFORD'S WATER SUPPLY.
TN ANOTHER column, City Physician J. K Shearer
tells of an investigation into the source oC Mcitford's
water supply and pronounces it equal or superior to that,
of any city in the country. Not only is the quality better,
but the quantity per capita is greater.
Medford is to be envied above all other cities of the
northwest. It has purer water and more water, and its
water is owned by the municipality. The acquisition of
the supply andthe construction of the liavrving system
are triumphs of good citizenship, of the civic ideals that
create cities, for every possible handicap existed against
securing a city water system.
What other towns had at their doors. Medford had to
go twenty-five miles for. What other places secured at
small cost, cost Medford over half a million dollars. But
while other cities are existing on reduced water rations,
while the drouth is compelling the utmost economy in use
of water, Mcdford has twice as much as it can possibly
use sufficient for a city three or four times its present
population.
Investigation reveals the fact that nearly all typhoid
cases reported in the city in times gone by have been from
dwellings where well water was used. There is no longer
any excuse for the use of well water. The city water is
much purer and better, and the use of water from wells
should be prohibited. No well, whose supply basin re
ceives the drainage of a city of 10,000 people, is fit for
use.
POLITICS
npHE application of the direct primary received its first
test in Idaho in the inimary election, held yester
day, and while the returns have not been sufficient! can
vassed to indicate clearly the result, the renonunation of
Brady, the incumbent governor, is practically assured.
JVench, insurgent candidate, also seems to have a lead
over Hamer, stalwart, for congress, in the Gentile counties,
but the Mormon counties can be depended upon to rally
to the aid of the stalwarts, as these counties are dominated
by the head of the hierarchy in Salt Lake, and that insti
tution has no sympathy with insurgency, its policy being
to stand pat with the national administration without re
gard to party.
The direct primary in Idaho may result in lifting the
yoke of Mormon church control from the people of the
state. The five southeastern couiries of the state art;
overwhelmingly Mormon and under the assembly or con
vention system the leaders- of that- hierarchy -were able
to hold in check the greedy office seekers among the
Saints, but under a direct primary law it is questionable
whether any Gentile in the Mormon stronghold will be
given political recognition.
The constitution of the state provides a test oath for its
citizens that practically disenfranchises the orthodox
Mormon. It only requires a Gentile legislature to put
this oath in operation, it having been suspended a few
years ago upon promise of. the brethren to be good and
keep the church out of politics, thus a sufficient arousal.
of the Gentile gorge may result in a practical elimination
of the Mormon menace in Idaho.
ROLLS OF
"T O MO VE of the public-spirited citizens of Medford
- deserves more success than the effort now being
made to raise a $10,000 bonus to secure a $100,000 hospi
tal, to be built and operated by the Sisters of Providence.
Every citizen Who can, should give something toward
this bonus. The hospital will mean a great deal for the
city and its future, and Medford is fortunate in being of
fered the opportunity to secure it.
It is true subscription lists come thick and fast in
Medford. But that is what has made the city. Only in
dead towns are people never forced to dig into their pock
etbooks for the common good.
These subscription lists for objects designed to build
up the community are really rolls of honor in whichNare
listed the enterprising and progressive citizens, whose
public-spiriteduess has made

NEW FOOTBALL RULES
PUZZLE OLD PLAYERS
MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Aug. 31.
That many of the country's football
stars must unlearn what they al
ready know of the game and acquire
additional knowledge because of the
new football rules was the statement
today of Coach Juneau of Marquette
university. Other exports concur
with this belief, saying that under
the now rules it is probable many
stars will go into eclipse, while the
beginners, unhampered by the oldor
football science, will have a chance
to shine.

Who Will be Next Speaker?
Plenty of Material, According to tho Wlso Political Forecasters on
Both Sides of tho Fence, Says Gus. J. Karpr, ' Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON', Aug. '-'il. Did he
fall, or was ho pushed?
Moaning, of course, Undo Joe
Cannon, loading citlr.cn of Danville,
111., speaker of the lum-o of repre
sentatives of congress.
Ho that as it may, whether ho fell
or whether l.ongworths nifty little
shove sent him over tho rocipioc, tho
opinion prevails that Undo Joe has
boon clouted to honorary membership
in tho Down-aml-Out club. Which
fact is mado evident by tho sudden
announcement of candidacies for his
place and tho reiteration of candi
dacies previously discussed. And the
plethora of tho crop of speakership,
candidacies makes it quite clear that
tho hope of carrying the next house
for the republican party hasn't boon
abandoned in leading republican cir
cles, at least not to an extent that
would make it especially conspicuous.
Up to date, including soino of the
mushroom growths that have sprung
up over night, there's more than a
baker's dozen of perspiring statesmen
who feel constrained to offer their
'patriotic services to a people and a
party that stand in need of them.
Perhaps Gerritt John Diekoma of
Michigan isn't the most formidable
rival Speaker Cannon will find in tho
field against him, but ho has two
points of vantage Ho has more
hair than any of tho others, hair that
stands up like that of a man af
frightedwhich is basely deceptive,
for in the heart of Diekema there is
no room for fear and he is the ear
liest bird of all those who hunt the
speakership worm. It was n good
wliiin nsro. when the nuti-lnunon son-
timniiL first liesan to crystallize, that
he put himself on record in the mat
ter. He allowed that there would be
no clear field for Uncle Joe in the
next congress. There would probab
ly be another speaker. If so, why
not Biokemaf Since which time he
has been on the job and the Michigan
delegation is exocetcd to stand be
hind him. if not on his own account,
at least for the glory of the state.
Michicnn isn't tho onlv stato that's
expected to feci that way. Indiana
also has her faronte son, and it In
diana has any republican delegation
in the next, congress that delegation
will be expected to stand tinnly be
hind tho aspirations of Judge Kdgar
Dean Cnunpncker of Valparaiso,
who hn been in congress ever since
the fifty-fifth congress, when nine
republicans from Indiana sat in the
house, whereas now there arc two
Crumpacker and Barnard both of
whom nre fervently committed to the
Crumpacker candidacy. Missouri
will come out for Richard Hartholdt,
apostle of pcaee and of German in
the public schools. Iowa, also, not
withstanding the divisions in the Ite
publicau party between insurgents
and regulars, will present a favorite
son, the Hon. Walter T. Smith of
Council Bluffs, occupying said envi
nhlf nntition. the insui'L!cntK hcilltr
altogether taken by his personality,
although uncompromisingly at outs
with his regularity. For Walter
Smith, not caring a continental
whether Ins redheaded colleagues like
it or not. lias broken inaiiv a lance
on the field of oratorical battle for
Speaker Cannon, who would yield the
gavel less regretfully to Smith than
to almost any other man who has

FRED CLARKE, CAPTAIN I
OF CHAMPIONS, RETIRES
PITTSBl'HG, Ij Aug. 31. Fred
Clarke, manager and captain of the
Pittsburg champions of the National
league, announced today his rctircr
incnt from baseball for the remain
der of the season anil probably for
good.
Clarke's move is regarded iih proof
that the Pirates are hopelessly out of
the running in the National league
pennant race. It is beliovcd that the
retirement of Clarke is the result of
bitter criticism of him by the fans
of his home city.

as oiteusivo as John Dalxell ot
Pennsylvania and Marl in Kdgar Olni
stcd of that stato, between whom tho
choice of tho Pennsylvania tueii seems
to lie. For John Daltell is the
avowed high priest of tho high tariff

word on behalf of Cannon and Can

Cannon, no matter how gamely the
old gentleman continues to take the
gaff, will rest with them. They
haven't considered the possibility of
taking their seats at tho foot of an
insurgent and they continue to do-
bate tho claims of James A. Tnwuoy
of Minnesota, chairman of tho ap
propriations committee, at whoso
homo town, Winona, President Tail
delivered his famous taritf speech,
and without which Tawuey could
never have hoped to win another
nomination in his dintrict. Tawuey
will have a largo following and no
one can lay higher claims to ad
vancement than Winona Jim. That
is to say, if tho regulars are really
to rule the roost, if tho insurgents
can dominate the republican caucus,
Charles Newell Fowler of Now Jer
sey will present his claims, said
claims centering about and rotating
from tho fact that ho has hurlod
moru rhetorical brickbats at the gray
head of Speaker Cannon than all the
other insurgents put together, bar
none. But oven under insurgent
auspices Mr". Fowler's chances would
bo exceedingly slim. For if an in
surgent is to preside over tho next
house, it will be one who has done
more merely than to fulminate a la
Fowler. That's where tho real leader
of tho hoiiuo insurgents, tho Hon.
George William Norris, the niftiiMt
ono of tho bunch, would come in
strong. And if politics is to be elim
inated entirely, if the next speaker
is to bo merely a "moderator," then
keep your oye on Asher C. Hinds ,f
Maine, now clerk at the speaker's
table, boss parliamentarian, but sure
to be a member of the next house.
But, after all, says a democratic
colleague of mine, what's the use of
writing all this stuff about Smith
and Crumpacker, Dalzoll, Olmsted
and all the rest of them? "The next
hoiiho of loprcttcutntivoH of eon
gipfr," ho uy, in his moot offen
sive wny, "will be democratic by a
largo majority. And tho next
speaker of the house will bo the
Hon. Champ Clark of Bowling Green,
Mo. and don't you forget it."
