lor Mich advertising.
District Attorney Kelly started out
to enforce this law this ineniinj: by
fixing the proprietors of dnij; stores
ten days in which to clean up this
fcort of advertising.
"This law was jMsced,'' snv ihe
proM-cutor, "because the effect of
this sort of advertisim; i. to create
mi impression in the mind of the un
sophisticated ilmt diseaes of thin
character are not dangerous mid can
be cured iiii'kly nnd at no prent in
convenience or expense, nnd it is
this vicious and cross misrepresenta
tion that is the greatest coutribut
nit: factor in the Hide spread of
these diseases.
"Public, closets are the favorite
advertising places of the distributors,
of these remedies, ami although the
owners of the closets have no share
in the profits of this business, the
law holds them equally responsible
with the distributor, nnd because of
this fact and the fact thnt tho ex
istence of this law is not generally
Known icn days will oo given lit
which to clean up this character of
advertising, thereafter the law will
be strictly enforced.''
The newspapers of this county, I
urn glad to say, arc particularly
flcnu in the respect of patent med
icine ads, and I sincerely hou they
will co-opemto in wiping out this
sort of business by publishing this
notjeo continuously."

President Portland Com. Club,
John M. Scott,
Southern Pacific Company,
At a general meeting of the mum
bens of the British Columbia o.uur
tdon umlaut great enthusliinin. the fol-
THE overshadowing issue before the voters of.MetU
ford at Tuesday's election is an economical and bus
iness administration of municipal affairs a curtailing of
all unnecessary expense, reduction of taxation and niain
tainanee of credit.
The present council has admitted its inability to meet
the situation, therefore a change is needed. Business men
have presented a ticket of successful administrators of
their own affairs, pledged to give their best efforts, with
out cost, toward a reorganization of municipal affairs.
They are actuated by civic patriotism and should receive
the votes of every one interested in the city's welfare.
This business men's ticket is composed of F. V.
Mcdynski. first ward. Colonel 11. 11. Sargent and V. d.
Enierick. second ward: T. W. Miles and Dr. 11. 1 liar
grave, third ward. A vote for these men is a vote for the
welfare of the city.
In addition, there are five charter amendments to be
voted upon. The first reads as follows on the ballet:
"An Act to amend Section 100 of the Chnrter of tho City of Medford
authorizing tlio Council of said city to carry out Its former contract with
the Klcctrlc Light and Power Company for tho purpose of furnishing electric
light nnd power to tho Inhabitants of unld City."
This amendment extends the authority of the council
to enter into a franchise of twenty-five years' time instead
of ten veal's. The old franchise was ratified by the people,
though contrary in time limit to charter, the company has
acted in good faith, and the franchise quarrel should be
settled. It will be up to the new council to arrange a set
tlement with the company, anil this amendment gives the
necessarv authoritv.
The second charter amendment reads:
"An Act to amend Section 55 of the Charter of the City of Medford
entarglng the privileges of the elector or voter at all municipal oleetlous of
said City."

election day of all City Klocllon of oald City." j held Friday aftorroon of next week.
Tin's should pass, as it will enable a workingman to get
to the polls before or after his day's work.
The fourth charter amendment reads as follews:
"An Act unloading the Charter of the City of Medford by adding therotc
Section 72-b, authorizing and empowering the Council to borrow money on
the fnlth of tho City for tho nolo purpose of constructing a now auxiliary
reservoir and pipe lino In connection with the present water system cf nald.
City, not to exceed a total cost of $5u,000."
Medford does not need a second reservoir now. Tin
city is burdened with enough indebtedness tit the present
tune. All that the citv water svstem needs is a second
pipe line over Bear creek, and this can be constructed at
a cost of a few thousand dollars, out of water receipts.
ote no on this amendment.
The fifth amendment reads as follews:
"An Act to amend Section 18 of tho Charter of tho City of Medford
depriving tho Mayor, tho President of tho Council, and all members of the
Council of any and all compensation from tho City, for their services as such
officers."
This is the initiative bill presented by the people, re
jected by the council, then reconsidered and submitted.
