' Following the' elect ion, the council promised ad ion to relieve the situation cither to submit a compromise prop osition to the people or to enforce collections of dcliuqu. lit payments. ' "Attoincvs were eu'iploved, the citv attorney's salary raised and announcement made that 'a test 'ease would he filed to establish the validity of the assessments and en force collections. It proved a bluff. Winter came and went. Spring garbed old esirth anew in garments of green that failed golden under summer's sunshine smiles, Autumn with its perfect days is here and still nothing is done. Masterly inactivity with (lencral Discord is in com mand, while the good municipal ship drifts aimlessly to wards tilt- breakers of financial disaster. Taxpayers' are' being made to pay the interest, upon assessments owed bv individuals. Those who Lave met their obligations are forced to pay again for those who have not ti most unjust and inequitable arrangement. Hoiids are Hearing maturity and no effort made to pay them. A bad mess is becoming worse. j And nothing is done. , , , i The aimless drifting of municipal bodies ia not confined to the council. The school board, also slept peacefully through the three mouths' vacation, awakening at the be ginning of the school term to find the school houses unfit for use. . . Remodeling, repairs and cleaning up were ordered with feverish haste, but it was necessary to postpone the begin ning of school one week ill till of the buildings while they were being cleaned, iind two weeks in the largest school to await the arrival of repairs ordered at the eleventh hour. J n .June the voters rejected tlie bond issue presented for school enlargement. It was known then what would have to be done but nothing was done and the children, idle since the middle of .May, suffer .by further curtailment of our already absurdly short school year. "' "What has become of the once famous Medford spirit that did things'? Has the anvil chorus of knockers suc ceeded in discouraging the progressiveness and enterprise it has not already driven out of the city? It begins to look so.

KKItllY WASHINGTON, Sept. 11. In spile of being the largest pnaluccrs of .seal skins and the largest consumers f finished seal tuts, the Tinted States has never had a fur seal dressing and dyeing industry.

Prom a democratic stunttpoiut it Is what mUht tie termed "good political dope." laison Gard ner's play is to try to alicuate the pro gressives from voting for lluglieit In the hopes that some limy be deceived Into voting for Wilson. Take for e&tt Gilfen Gardner's recent article tn hich he asserted that the progressives were sore at Hughes and that Roosevelt was dis gusted with him and was not going lo help him any more. The demo cratic dope Is to get the progressives sore in Hughes, tell (hem any old thing, anything goes ar long as you can get progressives to vote for Wil son. Oilson Gardner must think the progressives don't know ;tn tiling and never lead the papers. The progress ive who vote for Ungues are going lo vote tor him lieiau.se thev believe in Hughes, the man, and because tbe believe In what he tnm,s for. because the Know lingoes is regressive and nights worrying because the aggressive with Mexico and wnr agitation for starting nu Ameri can sea fur industry was slarled. The department of commerce, which through the bureau of fisheries con trols the seal herd of 'the I'robiloff islands, Alaska, decided lo hold u sale of raw sealskins for the first time in the I'uitcd States. Prior to this sale, the skins had always been sold in the London market. The sale was a great success und led directly to the establishment of a new American industry, which is destined to save W2 per cent 'of the prior cost of nmnii facturing seal furs.

To show von how much truth there is in what Gilson Gardner abl about Roosevelt being sore at Hughes I de sire to call your attention lo the (act Unit Roosevelt has agreed to lour the in ill die west and make eight or teu speeches lor Hughes the largur cities, to say nothing of the numer ous teu minute speeches he wtll make. In conclusion let me Quote from the l.ew iston, Maine, speech of Roosevelt, which surely does not show that Roosevelt Is very much disgusted with Hughes: "1 come here to Maine to advocate the election ot Charles K. liughos as president of the Tutted Suites.
