Governor Uowoniuin wan an im-
pawiivo and silent spectator Letters
from all the justices of thn supreme
court were road saying whilo Ronb
was guilty of stealing $288,420,87
of tho school fnudH thero was no
moral lurpitmln involved. It is not
heliuved by 1i!h ulobest 1'iioinls that
ho will grant pardon in this caso.
Tho point was mado by AVallatc
MeCamnnt of couiihcI for Hohb, that
(lie it) wns no doubt tho writ of appeal
to (ho supremo court of tho United
States would bo diMiiisFcd and this
was his last hope of iclief fiom serv
ing tho Honlcnco.
MeCamaut albo assured tho aetlu
governor that in case ho granted ex
ecutive clemonoy tho owners of thn
Oregonian hud assured him that How
eniian would not bo criticised in thai
newspaper.
Acting Governor Bowormnn In
formed tho delegation that ho would
take it under advisement.
AN" OLD proverb states that it is folly to swap horses
while crossing a stream. This is the predicament
Medford finds itself in at the coming election. Certain
citizens are trying to force a change in administration
in the midst of a program of public improvement but half
completed.
No valid reason is offered why there should be any
change, except that candidates want ottice, and it otters
opportunity for airing personal and petty grievances, the
inborn inclination of the knocker to be "agin the gov
ernment," and shy a brick at every head of authority.
It is not claimed that a change of administration will
accomplish anything for the material welfare of the city.
It is not claimed that there will be an increased efficiency
or an increased harmony, or ah increased diligence in
public administration. It cannot be shown that there
will be an increased public confidence or an increased
financial credit by a change.
The election affords the disgruntled a chance to whack
at someone in authority for some real or fancied griev
ance, or to pull some future chestnuts out of the fire, or
to gratify o'er-leaping personal ambition. So we have
a noisy effort being made to discredit Mayor Canon and
the administration and accomplish its deteat.
If to spend nearly a million dollars of the city's money
economically and with a value received result to the tax
payers, if to effect numerous economics, if to devise ways
and means for maintaining the city's credit upon an empty
treasury, so as to carry on public improvements without
stop or hindrance, be not making good, then what can
be? And if Mayor Canon has made good he is certainly
entitled to re-election, the more so as he served his first
year without remuneration.
The platform promises of the various candidates do
not differ in essentials. As long as public sentiment fa
vors high licenses and strict regulation of the saloons, no
council will increase the number of licenses without fac
ing a recall. Business administration and economy are
promised by all, but the present administration has the
advantage of having actually accomplished what others
promise.
We can only judge- the future by the past. Mistakes
may have been made and will be made, no matter who is
elected, for to err is human, but there have been fewer
mistakes and greater efficiency under the present admin
istration than the average city enjoys.
The city administration during such a critical period as
this has a great influence upon the city's welfare. Capital
is always shy of investment in a place where the, indebted
ness is as large as Medford, unless it is assured that there
is an efficient city administration. We have enjoyed such
an administration. Why, then, follow will-of-the-wisi1
election promises that may lead us to a dismal swamp?
It is only by taking a large view of conditions, and
planning for the common good of all, which is really the
individual good, that a true perspective" is secured, and
business men and citizens generally realize that the best
interest of Medford will be served by the re-election of
our capable, hard-working and efficient mayor.

GAINS HEALTH
In talking with the blacksmith Mr.
George 11. Mttritnun, the other day I
asked him if lie wasn't getting
stronger and feeling, a great deal
better than his usual wont. He re
plied that bo was and went on to
state that he and Mrs. Merrimdn
were both getting grant benefit ijroin
tjtc til'atmentft they were receiving
from the local chiropractic rciu;
Jitioner. Mr. Mtttrimnn stated that
ho hud been attlieted for a long
time with constipation and coild oo
taiu nothing but temporary relief
from any treatment. "I wns induced
to try chiropractic adjustments of
the spine and am delighted to state
that 1 am highly elated with the re
sults. My trouble has entirely van
ished and 1 feel alike a new person.
,wy wuu, tviio wis ucun very nervous
and suffered a great deal from a
stiff neck and iutciihc pain at the
base v the brain, has been greatly
relieved and I feel that a few ino'v
treatments will entirely cure her."
Dr. Gordon is certainly having
great success witli many of the
chronic cases and 1 feel sure that
anyone suffering' should consult him
iiil learn of his methods, if he can
not help you ho will tell you at once
and if he thinks that you can be ben
efited you will dd well to try a icv
treatments. JIo will be pleased to
explain tile science of chiropractic
to anyone who wishes to call.
Dr. Gordon is located dvor the
Medford Hardware company.
He has been in the city since Sep
tember and is bocominir quite well
and favorably known and I feel sure
is benefiting a great ninny people
who could be benefited in no other
way.
