Pinchin of the Elmonte, nftcr the voynso aero.ss the Atlantic, took on u Ilritioh pilot at Dor!, as England now does not elans' cotton as contraband, but fearing that tho pilot would be interned if ho encrted German waters, the cap- tain dropped him at the Hook of Hol land. At tbo Hook, Dutch pilots rc filled to assit-t the American skipner Baying that it was impostiihlo on ac count of mines to make the trip.

It is also asserted, though this is the first time the Mail Tribune has mentioned the, subject, that tho newspapers, will secure, from $5000 to $8000 a year printing under the new charter. This js a lie also. The charter provides as lollews: See. 17. Publication. Kvery oriU nnnco adopted for the City shall bo printed or published, either In full o r by a illRest thercot fairly and accur ately giving Its purposes, provisions n nil results, lu such manner as this Charter or Hoard of Directors pursua ut hereto may provide. This means that a brief condensation of every ordi nance passed must be printed so the. public may know what the new laws are, as they have n right to know. Probably two or three lines will be sufficient for every ordinance. The cost is infinitisnial. Tn times past it was customary to print the ordinance in full. The other printing provided is tho same as in tho present charter. Altogether in a year it would not pay a town crier's Salary a month. Arguments against the charter are based largely upon misrepresentation, misstatement and hearsay. Most of the critics are unfamiliar with cither the present charter or that proposed. For instance, some poisons are very indus triously circulating the report that if the now charter passes, neither cows nor chickens can be kept within the city. Lot us contrast what the new charter says with the old charter and present laws: New Charter 15. To regulate or prohibit tho driving of live, stock through any part of the City, tho running at large of any animal; to prohibit cruelty to anluiats; to provide for a pound and for the Bale, destruction or other dis position of animals picked up wlillo running at large without a license; and to provide for tho licensing of animals. Which of the two charters strike at the owner of live stock and chickens i Why, the old, of course. Then why these lies about the new charter? And almost every argu ment advanced proves a lie when analyzed. The new charter is approved by a majority of the pres ent council. Xo matter who is elected, the city affairs, either under old or new charter, will be administered under a majority of the present council. If the charter wins, it -will fall to the majority of the present council to select the city manager. If it has flaws, it will be their duty to point them out. It can be changed at any time by initiative peti tion, if unsatisfactory to the public. The old charter is a thing of shreds and patches, livery time anything is attempted by the city the charter has to be amended. There have been a dozen charter amend ments in the past foui; years and as many elections. The new charter offers an. opportunity to modernize the city government. It is in tune with the progress of the time. It aims at efficiency, not politics. Its adoption Would prove that tho Medford spirit of' accomplishment still lives. It is naturally opposed hv'thoftc who nppdso,' progress of all kinds. It is worth while because of the enemies it has made. A NEW CAESAR WT? ATON is not fit to be the spea cor of this or any other At' House." Thus declares the Portland Mr. Jetton will not thus be honored by a republican legis lature with tlio Oregonian's consent." The people of Oregon supposed that the right of choos ing a speaker l)elongcd to representatives and that it was their province to pass upon the fitness of the various candidates for tho office. In this the people were evidently mistaken. Tho Ore gonian assumes the divine right to organize thp legislature. It ordains that it bo organized to carry out its own scheines to promote thcprei)osterous ambitions of its editor, who seeks to become United States senator. It has therefore resurrected Ben Selling from the- graveyard of political oblivion in which its own support interred hiin, and de creed that he be chosen speaker- an a preliminary to candi dacy for governor, four years hence. Mr. Eaton's unfitness is declared due to the fact that he championed appropriations for tho State University, which is located in his home city. Therefore he is guilty of the heinous crime of "log-rolling." "Log-rolling" has a familiar sound to southern Oregon. The Oregonian and Bon Selling killed the Ashland normal because of its "dangerous log-rolling." The Qregonian and Ben Selling fought the Crater Lake highway for simi lar reasons. IDaton was a friend to both measures there fore "unfit." To elect Mr. Selling, in addition to brazenly bluffing and calling in old-time bosses ljke Mathews ani Burke tp aid it, the Oregonian is indulging in the most sinister foji'in of "log-rolling," To secure tjie unwilling support of the Multnomah delegation, it has assignments in advance, rewarding its friends, punishing CHARTER , !

' ' Councilman Medynski Answered To tho Editer: 1 nolo In tho local presa a com muutqatlon from Mr, Piatt concerning the new charter. 1 havo also read Mr. Medynskl's letter. Mr. Piatt suggests a board of three with full power, two of whom aro to assist the third tn tho administrative affairs t the city. Ills suggestion grew out of tho fact that tlio com mission charter, as first adopted, did not provide n sufficiently concentrat ed plan or administrative duties. Tho solution was not by making the board smaller, (It Is Important that It bo',) flXirttVaKnnco that has over hup- UlTKv UIlUUfeH IU UWiO IUHO.'Dl'Uk ll the peoplp slnco It makes the city or dinances) but by turning over tho de tails of administrative duties to a man hired for that purpose and constant ly under tho control of tho board. A Untrkt) Plan From, tho standpoint of tlie Mod ford charter commission, a sufficient answer to Mr. Piatt's suggestion Is that It has not been tried out In n single American city. Our n,ew chap ter contains nothing but what has been tried out by n score of cities and found unquestionably desirable.' wo uiy n,oi propose, making .Mcuioru nn experiment station In civic theo ries. Tlio charjer follows tho plan that has proven best under tbc stern trial of actual use. May I add that no ono can find a city In which such n charter Is In use that has not shown n decided Impruvcnont In city govern ment, a more economical administra tion, general satisfaction, or where tncro Is any dcslro for a return to the old plan. o 1-Var of llossNiii Mr. Medynski tried to tako tho other horn of tho dilemma and asserts that the new charter provides too conccn tradled n form of authority. Ho talks about "boss rule," Head tb cbartor carefully and then answer, could any statement ho more nbsitrd. In two places Is tlio unqualified pro vision that full authority and respon sibility Is put upon a board of seven elected by the people, nny ono or 0,11 of whom can be recalled nt any time. They hire a man to look after ad ministrative affairs whom they can discharge at any moment. He cannot spend a dollar except nl tho express order of tho board. Could anything bo mora foolish than iho assertion j that such a hired man, with no pow ers and who cannot spend a dollar, and who can bo discharged any mo ment, would become a political boss? If Mr. Modyrmkl would only Inform tho people, lip would tell them that every well known enemy of boss rule in tho United States Is urging tho adoption of Just such charters as Is proposed for Mcdford. Iook at a list 6f only a few of those actively en gaged In pushing this effort for theso now charters: President, Wilson, Thcodoro Itoosevclt, Hiram Johnson who wiped out tho boss rule In Cali fornia, Judgo Hon LIndsoy or Den ver, Dob LaFolletto, cx-Prcsidcnt Klllot of Harvard, Mayor Hunt, tho chief foe of thp Infamous Cox ring In Cincinnati, and scores of others. Hut In 'tho face of this list of advo cates of this form of charter, Mr. Medynski wants tho people of Mcd ford to believe It contributes to bosH rulo.
