ABUSES OF THE REFERENDUM.
"'33K I'iiv council in its wisdom has failed a .special
election, to vote unon three proposed amendments
to iho city charter, ono to slap at the newspapers hy out
ting down the city printing, one to create a police judge,
and one to prohibit all boxing contests.
The first amendment, which might properly be termed
five cent legislation, was discussed yesterday. The plea
Of economy made to vent spite npon newspapers who
were charging legal rates, what? is paid in other cities,
ana not graiung, is specious, as me mwi iiiiiiMuituriu
creates another officer for the taxpayers to support with
only a few minutes' work a day, costing far more than
the'aniount saved, a permanent expense to the taxpayer.
As for the third amendment, it is unimportant and
absurd and indicates an utter lack of backbone among
councilmen seeking to evade their duty. The charter, as
it is, gives the council ample power to regulate boxing con
tests. If the councilmen think boxing should he sup
pressed, all it has to do is to pass an ordinance forbid
ding it. -I.
But the councilmen are evidently afraid to go on rec
ord, lest tiiey offend somebody, and so. like Pontius Pilate,
wash theiAands of the affair by putting it up to the
people.' -
So the taxpayers' money is used in a special election,
to gratify spite, to create an unnecessary city official and
to permit councilmen to dodge a duty.
Under a salaried city council, Medford is ' evidently
drifting into the triviality of village ways. Ashland re
cently made itself the laughing stock of the state by a
special election to decide whether moving picture shows
could remain open Sundays, and Medford gets into the
same class by a special election .to determine whether or
not there shall be boxing contests abuses of the referen
dum that verge on the edge of comic opera absurdities.
Of the council and its infinite wisdom, one can only
repeat Jeb: -
'.No doubt ye are tiie people,-and wisdom snail cue witn
you

EPISCOPAL BISHOPS
AT GRANTS PASS
Making history, laying founda
tions and planning progress and
prosperity for southern Oregon
this was the work of the body of
Episcopal clergy which met Monday

Pass. It is not often that six clergy
men of any ono religious body have
spent two days hero planning for tho
good of tho people,
The clorgy who thus mot were:
Tho bishops of tho diocese, Rt. Rev.
Charles Scaddlng, I). D.; the arch
deacon, Rov. II, D. Chambors; tho
Revs, C, W, Baker of Roseburg,
William Lucas of Ashland, Joseph
Shoorln ot Modfnrd and William B,
Hamilton of Grants Pass.
With tho statesman's instinct,
which foresees tho futuro and pro
vides for it, tho bishop led in tho
deliberations, and a permanent or
ganization, tho Southern Oregon con.
ferenco, was formed, the- Rov. Wll

CRUISE CRATER LAKH
TI.MBER THIS YEAR
All the timber lands in the Crater
Lake national forest east of tho di
vide will have been cruised by the
end of the summer. If. D. Foster,
with a crew of ten men, will leave
Medford tho middle of May and su
perintend the work until it Is com
pleted." Most or the cruising work in the
forest has been accomplished on the
east slope of the range In the past
on account of the fact that that
area was particularly heavy. With
the completion of that section, cruis
ing crews will commence on the
heavy districts on the west slope.

Let us not forget the old people
all around us whose strength is fall

feeble.
It is a positive fact that their
strength can be greatly renewed and
years of comfort added to their lives
by he use of our delicious cod liver
and Iron remedy without oil, Vinol.
Mrs. Frauds Naumann of Milwau
kee, Wis., says: "I have been ublng
Vinol for the last seven years and I
believe It to be the greatest strength
giver ever known, I am C8 years old
and Vinol has helped me In sickness
and health. I always have it In the
houso and can recommend It to eve
rybody most heartily."
Vinol Invigorates and builds up
old people and all run down, weak
persons, because it contains just the
needed elements to make the blood
rich and pure, to crcato strength and
aid tho appetite. We guarantee Vinol
to satisfy you perfectly.

A constant cold in the head is merely a symptom of
a more' chronic condition than a mere .cold. - A cold
gets well in about three davs it' it is a cold.-Here eyes
many times are merely a symptom of a constitutional
condition, in other cases sore eyes are caused by im
properly fitting glasses.
Ear ache is many times only the forerunner of a
more serious condition of the middle ear. All these
are well to consider and then KK.MIftMUlJR that we
