The hill was fathered hv ganization formed early last to meddle more or less ollirioiislv and equally ignorantly and fiitilely with public affairs. The real purposes of the organizers was disclosed shortly after the formation of the league, when the prime movers all became candidates for office at the primaries. The abolition of the recorder's office is sought on the grounds of economy lo the taxpayers, but the economy to be thereby secured is not so The office of recorder, alone among the county offices, has been self-sustaining. Despite the lack of activity in real estate during the past few years, and the consequent tailing oil in revenue, it is still a moneymaker, in 193.1 14 the profits of the office above cost of operation, were sa:wn.LL in lf)15-l(, the profits were 0G7.9i), with nearlv $2000 smaller income. The office, under the present incumbent, is most econ omically and admirably administered, a convenience and accommodation to the public. The salary of the recorder is !f!20!)) a year, and ot his clerk, p7.j a month, it is claimed that abolition of the office would make a small saving in the salarv of the depuiv employed to do his work but a competent clerk would have would be juunitisnial. ihe justify the countv clerk in that would absorb the saving. vaults to connect would entail an expense ot $ 1000 or more. Then, the county clerk pockets his fees, while the recorder turns his over lo the county. It is proposi d to make the county clerk the recorder. Why not also make him the tax collector and t reasurer and effect still more economy ? The reasons are just as potent. 'While we are on this fake economy stunt, we might as well go down the line. The bill to abolish the recorder's office bears the ear marks of personal spite. ARCTOMYS WE are supposed to have with us today Mr. Arctomys Monax. who for twenty-four hours at least is the most influential citizen of these Tinted States. .Mr. Monax is a member of the well-known Marmot family of South Carolina and all points north. 3 1 is rela tives, in fact, are scattered all the way from Savannah lo Lincoln, Neb., and to Aliwiski island, which is somewhere in Hudson Hay. "Chuck" Monax, to give him his more familiar name, is the continent's weather dictator from February 2 to March ot even the combined, decrees of President Wilson and i'reinier Lorden could rescind the weather or ders which Chuck will issue on this day. "(iroundhog," we call him at this time of year, but all the rest ol the days he's known to most of us as "wood chuck," and to the highbrows of scientific mind as "Arcto mys Monax, the American Marmot." Chuck, understand, isn't a mere prophet, he doesn't prophecy ; he dictates. 1 1' he sees his shadow when he ven tures front his hibernation Hole on February 2 he scoots back and sends word to all Ihe wild things and the tree roots and the tiny blades of grass and the waves and the windlets: "Six. more weeks of winter shall there be." And all the faithful who believe in Chuck's omnipot ence,"ga,e from their kitchen windows at sun-up, and thev say: "The gi'oundhog'll see his shadow today; no hope for an early spring." But if the groundhog is wrong? Tut, tut, friend; lie's never wrong. If you look out of your window on February 2 and think the groundhog will see his shadow, and nevertheless it turns out that there is an early spring, do you think that proves the groundhog wrong? Xot at all. " It simply proves you can't see straight. THE BLUE LAW TXT E are a nation of hypocrites and make a pretense of t virtue that docs not our secret sins under an outward coat of respectable white wash. Everybody wants to dictate to his neighbors and regu late others' personal Habits as well as public conduct. And each repression legally secured is but the precursor of future intolerance. Half of the llienibei s! nf thii li.ii'isil.if nn votnil fm- tlie bone-dry bill against their personal convictions. Of these, only half a dozen had nerve enough to voice or vote their honest convictions cowed by t he sentimental craze ot pur itanisni rampant throughout the country. The people voted for prohibit ion and the "voice of the people is the voice of Cod." and the edict is unquestioned in our legislative Hallsi Hut at the same time the people ,iUo voted out t he blue law. Yet we have Represent a! ive ( lore, at the instance of the lii tail ( Iroceis' association, i, it roduc ing a bill re-establishing the Sunday blue law, remodeled to suit the grocers and Seventh-Day Advent ists. If the people's mandate is so imperative in the case of the bone-dry law. why is it not equally impi'rat ive in the case of the archaic blue law? If the people voted intoler antly upon prohibition, they voted more tolerantly upon permitting people to observe (He day of rest as they see til. Why not observe the mandate I If a fair trial proves the necessity of bine laws, there will be plenty of lime lor them another legislative session. The only excuse for re-enacting this obnoxious law is that this is an aire of intoleration and nersonal tvrannv. MATTi TRTBTTNE, MEDFORD, OREO OK. FRIDAY.

Senator Smith of Grants Pass lias introduced a bill in the senate (S.

There is little likelihood that Itep- rosontntive Thomas will succeed in having his bill eliminating seining nnd set nets reconsidered favorably by the house. Most members are tired of the Itoguc river fish squabble nnd glad to get rid of it. Quite a sentiment is in evidence, iaiticularly iu the senate, against the portsmen, whose demands anil activ ity have created the impression that thev have gone too far and ask too much in their efforts to restrict es loblished industries badly needed by (lie slate.

Wilbur, democrat, Hood ltiver, who introduced il, be cause, as he said, he did not want to handicap President Wilson with pos sible Japanese complications during the present international crisis.

SUFFERING CATS' GIVE THIS MAN J THE GOLD MEDAL j Let folks step on your feet hereafter; wear shoes a size smaller if you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according to this Cincinnati authority. lie Kays that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly re lieves Borenoss, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts riUt out. This druij is a sticky etber compound, but dries at onee and simply shrivels up tbe corn without inflaming or even Irritating the surrounding tissue. It Is claimed that a quarter of an ounce of freezone obtained at any drug tore will cost very little but la suffi cient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. Cut this out, especially if you are a woman reader who wears Jjigh heels.
