You sub noenned thn owners of bttlldlncs whoro such dangerous violations ex isted bcroro the grand Jury and they promised to obey forthwith. This was n Joke. Tho violations still exist to yoilr knowledge. Wednesday when threatened with an appeal to tho gov ernor of the stato you sand you "didn't care." Let us sco If this Is n bluff as well. You said tho owners , of tho buildings were hard up. You nnld the buildings didn't have many people in them auyway. You meas ure laws by your own rules, Mr. Mul key. You establish new precedents for the taxpayers. Let us hope your principles as set forth In those state ments won't fill new graves. "You practically refused to en force the law. You have side-stepped, quibbled, delayed, prevaricated and even threatened the writer with a Ditto prosecution on tho side, and ow, Mr. Mulkey, yon haven't tho moral courage to carry forth your sworn duty but you want somebody to Jo J-our dirty work so you propose lo suocna F. H. Cowles and let him prosecute for you while you hide un der tho table. Are you afraid or your law practice? That Is one of tho misfortunes of your present posi tion which under an American cus tom permlta a prosecuting attorney to conduct a private law practice. That is one of the things which George Cameron of Portland did bo fore the Governor got him. Look out, Mr. Mulkey." To this Mr. Mulkey replies, with somo personalities beside the is sue: "Mr. Cowlos proceeded to threaten mo with the governor of Oregon. He wants more fire escapes for the Med ford hotel, he says. The Medford Hotel management were given till September 10 to put in a fire escape at the alley at the north end of the building. I think they will carry It out. Mr. Cowles lies when he says I said the hotels are bard up. I did say tho danger was not so great as when they are more crowded than now. "The opinion of good fire experts la that tho Medford Hotel with Its present patronage has adequate fire escapes. If it .has not Cowles would not know it. Cowles would be miserable If everything suited him for his trade and profession of med dling would be gone." mm " "- CLEARANCE SALE OP SHIRT WAISTS THIS SWEEPING SALE WILL INCLUDE ALL NOVELTIES OF THE LATE SEASON -HIGH AND LOW NECK, LONG AND SHORT SLEEVES.

AX Prohibition CaiulUlate for Congress Tl SYSTEMS IN ey N QCTQBER 1 That the Prohibitionists are mak ing a great campaign in the state this year is evident from the fact that they are running an automobile every day reaching from seven to nine towns per day, and speaking to several hundred voters. Their speak ers are evidently making a great "hit" with the people judging from tho comments of the local paper where this auto has been. Here is what tho 'Xewberg Enterprise of August 9th, says: "It was a large audience which as sembled at Duncan's Halt last even ing to hear B. Lee Paget, candidate for United States Senator and O. A. Stlllman, candidate for Congress on tho Prohibition ticket. These geiu tlcmen are making a tour over tho state in an automobile and generally speaking in the open air. No more Interesting or convincing speakers have addressed an audience In this city and they were frequently interrupted with applause. Owing to the lack of space today the Knterprlso regrets that a summary of the speeches cannot be given." Here Is what tho Hlllsboro Inde pendent sajs: "Mr. Stlllman is a fluent speaker, and made an effective nddrvs"?. Like Mr. Paget, he confl.tcrt hlmsolf most ly to a straight-out political speech. He spoko of Oregon's needs and promised if elected that tho statu should secure what It was entitled to. The openlpg of tho Panama Canal made harbor improciueut impera tive, and tho state's representatives should work unitedly to that end. The Prohibition phase was Introduced when In speaking of the functions of government, he said that ono duty of the government was to pro tect the morals of the people. Ho Illustrated his points with many an ecdotes and held the attention of the audience closely." They tour Jackson county August 30 and 31st.
