BUILDING INSPECTOR DEMANDED.
TJIIO fact that the lives of many school children were
recently discovered to have been endangered
through carelessness in construction again calls attention
to the need of a building inspector in Medford. More
schoolhouscs are to be built,
blocks, all of which should conform to established rules lor
public safety.
Collapse of the Central Point bridge approaches calls
attention to the danger of constructing buildings out of
the same material namely Bear creek sand and gravel.
A certain amount of earth is carried in the sand, and a
collapse would impress upon the public mind the neces
sity of adequate inspection.
'Other cities have learned the lesson by costly experi
ence .Medford should take a leaf from their history, and
before more fire traps are constructed insist upon neces
sary safeguards. '
'To do williotit a building inspector and the necessary
building laws enforced elsewhere is a penny wise and
pound foolish policy.
MOVE THE RAILROAD.
Til 10 disgraceful condition of the Southern Pacific right
of way through Medford is an argument for the re
moval of the tracks to Hear creek and the utilization of
the idle land for business purposes.
Piles of lumber, tiers of cordwood, movable lunch wag
ons, junk piles, debris of all kinds, billboards, collapsing
and flimsily constructed shacks and warehouses make this
stretch of the most valuable business property in the city
an evesorc to the community.
If the tracks are to remain in their present location,
the right of way should be parked. Put J'or the benefit
of both city and railroad they should be moved, and moved
while it can bo done at a profit, as it can be at present.
Within a vear or two crossings will have to be made
at Sixth and Ninth streets, and each year will see demand
'or more crossings. JO very
to life and expensive to maintain, while ll the tracks wen;
placed along Pear creek, all crossings would be by bridges
and endanger no one.
The matter of removal should be lakeji up by the coun
cil and Commercial club with the railroad, the cost and
feasibility ascertained, for the future growth and develop
ment of the, city and the convenience of its inhabitants
depends upon a satisfactory solution of this problem.
It is all right for a railroad to split a country village
into two sections, but it is not right that a city furnishing
a large amount of traffic be so hampered in its upbuilding.
LODGE'S NATIONAL MENACE.
PNATOP LODGE of Massachusetts declares that pop
ular election of senators is a "menace to the nation"
and "strikes at the very foundation of the national gov-
ni'llllieilt "
Opposition by Senator Lodge was to be expected. Tn,
a long legislative career there is yet to be cited an instance
in which he favored the people as against special interests.
Senator Lodge has worn the collar of Vall street and
Ihe'liverv of the trusts since he entered nublic life. He

Says No Doubt Exists But That Il
linois Senator Gained His Scat
Tlirniinh Rriherv nnd Other Un-I
savory Methods.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. In an
able speech that wns received by
his colleague with pronounced in
terest, Jones ( republican, Washing
ton) announced his crdict uaiiist
Lo rimer in' the bctiute today. He gae
an incihivc loviow of the testimony.
The senator argued that the secn
known tainted otea cast for Loriiner
were not ull that were swayed by
corrupt practices.
"In the case, before us," lie said,
,sit seems to mo it would practically
ic impossible to determine definat'y
and feiirely all of tho taincd votes,
flie tainting of Lee O'Neill Brown'-,
oto did not stop with him. Thcie
were men like '.Manny' Abrahams,
ivho voted as Browne voted, riylit or
wrong, how many, no one knows, b'll
Jio tainting of his vote tainted thciis
ven though they were not guilty ol
any wrong intent. Tho testimony
Iself shown aye, Brown so testi
fied - that here were men iu the
llinois legislature who voted us
irowiie oled whether right or wrong
nd iiny transaction, iu my judg
neiii, tainting Brown's vols, also
ainls theso votes. His influence
nis different fro mlliat of the or
hnary member of the legislature.
Itiny looked lo him as a friend,
adur and guide. What eer ho dii
hey accepted us concet and those
iho were looking to iniliienco nn
lection by improper means woiud
ccoiuplish a great deal more by in
liieiicing Biowu'h vote than by in
liiencing (he votes of dozens ol
ihcrs. It was plain lo be seen that
f Browns could ho bribed, not oinv
is vote would be bought, but that
hero would be bought with it ninny
ither votes."
"1 have wished to sustain the ver
lict of the niajoiity of the commit
ce because of their learning and
bility, their integrity nnd patriotism
have wished to sustain their ver
'ict because of my intimate nssocia
ioii with Mr. Loriiner in the house
f loprcMMitntives. I have wished to
ustain it for the honor of the great
late of Illinois, in which I was bm-n
nd reared, but I am compelled li
