J. . Dear Mr. J. & Ji Your Mr. K. J must hnve had an extraordinary il lusion yesterday (Aug. 23). He said that ho was sorry you "failed in your efforts to have the red white and blue lights on the Commercial club building changed." Tell J. K. ho surely must be color blind, or has imbibed too much bug jnicey taking green for blue. His liberal offer to change the lights frco of charge will bo accepted, the change to bo made according to specifications best snit cd to the committee on illumination, change to be made after Oct. 7, the close of Medford's big fair. Sickcm npELE divinity that hedges about a federal judire whris - a law unto himself and greater in power than leg islatures or congress, state courts or thu people, u strik ingly set forth in the ease of Judge C. II. llanford, firm friend of the interests, who has set about jailing Seattle citizens because a mass meeting denounced his rulings in favor of a traction company and burned him in effigy. Priday night 5000 people of Seattle in mass meeting denounced Hanford's interference in the case of the Seat tlo, Rcntou and Southern railway, in which he had en joined tho people from refusing to -pay double fares. The following day arrests were made on warrants charging "conspiracy to obstruct the administration ot jusjioe m the United States court." "Administration of justice " is clover satire in this case, for the points at issuo had been thoroughly threshed out in two suns aim me suite courts, lrom xne lowest vo uie supreme court, have with unanimity decided in favor of the people. The questions involved wero the demand of the people to ride for a nickol fare within the city limits and the right to transfers to tho Seattlo Electric company's lines on the payment b a nickol fare, as provided specifically in the franchiso granted by the eitv to the Seattle, Kenton and Southern in May, 1907. The company made no pretense whatover to colnply with these franchise" provisions. In February 1910, two suits were commenced by the Rainier Valley' residents. The first determined, through; the railroad commission,' the superior court, and finally the supreme court, tha.1 the franchise calls tor a continuous ride withm the city limits on the payment of one nickel only. The company had heretofore exacted as much as 15 cents to some points. The sqeoud suit, going through the same legal processes, adjudicated that point that the two street car companies in Seattle must exchange transfers. This decision was made a few weeks ago by the supreme court, and since then the people have been insistent in their demands tlntf the company submit to it. . Judge Hanford then came to the company's rescue with a blanket injunction against the people one of the most drastic evei" issued. ;- VUGS DO MUCH WORK FOR CITY "" Jack Wcntz Successful In Gottlna Considerable Results When Put on Streets With Crew of Bums Makes 'Em All Work. 4 As tho rt'MUlt'Ot tho new policy Instituted by l'olico Judge P.

RAILROAD TO REACH BEND BY NOVEMBER TIIE PACIFIC OUTLOOK, published at Grants Pass, complains loudly and bitterly that the prohibition law in Grants Pass is ignored and that the pretense at en forcement is a sorry farce. Says the Outlook: "The entire corps of city officials, from the mayor down to the dog-catcher pass the ."joints where ihe law is violated every dav of their lives. They are all sufficiently posted in this line to recognize tho fumes of liquor as they pass the doors. They kiiQW that men in all stages of in toxication are. reported hanging about these joints. They know that boozers arc being taken to the office of the police judge and fined for drunkenness and disorder. They know that scores of citizens have tlic best kind of evidence against these joints. But we never hear of any raids be ing made upon these places. There is never an attempt on the part of any official to piece together these bits of 'circumstantial evidence and make out a case against any of these violators." Then the Outlook concludes: "With these conditions existing, what could be more unfair and inconsistent than the repeated remark '"Why. don't you temperance people do something about this?' Verily, it is enough to make an angel smile in ridicule through his tears of sorrow this spectable of a cultured, Christian community tolerating and condoning an offense against God and man, simply because a sufficiently large majority of its citizens has not yet been convinced that such an offense is an offense." In spite of prohibition, Grants Pass is far more "wide open" than Medford. Liquor of all kinds is brazenly, openly sold on Sunday which is not the case in Medford. It is said that prohibition cannot be enforced in Grants Pass because juries will not convict. But this docs not excuse the county and city officials for violating their oaths of office, and not enforcing the law. Prohibition is enforced in other places and would be in Grants ffass it' the people fyantefl jt., . Tho cool weather and abundant ntina In the past few week ansuro the North west farmers 'good crops. More than usual returns will be had by many of tho more progressive farmer, who will exhibit at tho Xcw York and other big land shows.
