This uouil i'm-tuno in spite of last uifrhtV destructive blaze, may be yuid to still bold sway. For only t-xeeptiimally efficient work of the lire department under a heavy handicap and the gallant aid of volun teers, saved the Oarnett-Oorey building from being a mass of ruins today. hast summer the State Fire Marshal's office inspected the city's fire equipment and made a report urging among other things, spec ial purchases for fighting n basement blaze. Fire Chief Liitrtou, par ticularly, emphasized the need of this equipment. Last night's fire certainly demonstrates the necessity of securing this equipment at once. It is the possible, but unexpected hazard, that should he provided for. Better excessive zeal in the prevention of conflagrations, which may seem remote than the sorrow of property owners viewing the smoldering ruins of great masses of property. In the Kudu storage fire and Sunday night's fire Medford has had ample warning. Fortunately, the city has one of the most efficient and best directed fire-fighting forces in the state. But it is not only poor. gratitude, but false economy to handicap such a force with in adequate equipment. Now is the. time to give the fire department what it imperatively needs. And the first purchase should certainly be modern equipment for fighting a basement blaze. In Sun Francisco, New Year's cvo, tlioy observed the dry laws so stria gently, tliat arrests tor tliiiiilteiinossi exceeded all previous records. Trvln S.

Tlio victory, however, tloo3 not signify that the wishes of California in ull matters shall be first, and Mr. Harding shall resign in favoiof I Ili um Johnson. Vocalists no longer have songs he Binning "Iinrk! Hurk!" and "All Hull, tho Nowboni Year Doth Come," on their chests, and will start in at once mulling ready for the Hauler outburst, when nil good selections end up with a full throated "Hosanna." ;S.a.

Fred Wooks! Fred Weeks! whero ure you? RipplinfRhumos - i I, rtr, t THE KNOCKER. JT T.J Z I YOU BUY a car you think is great, a bus that's strictly tip to date. Your breast is filled with wholesome pride when you go forth to take a ride, for you have saved n long, long while to buy a boat that's quite in style. You feel, while gliding down the street, that, life is sumptuous and sweet; you're bubbling o'er witli genial mirth, good will to men and pence' on earth. And when you park your ear downtown, up comes J. Pumpernickel Brown. "Great Scott!" be cries; "JcliosopliuM I wouldn't own a van like that! Oh why in blilzen did you blow for such a cheese the hard-earned dough f Of all the lemons that's the worst, among the gold bricks it is first. Its working parts will break like glass, it is a swine for oil and gas." And so this omnipresent jay has knocked the pleasure from your day, and pulled a cloud across your sun, and spoiled your little slice of fun. In every street of every town there is a Pumpernickel-Brown who can't be satisfied or glad unless ho makes another sad. His cheap remarks should not destroy the cheerful: neighbor's honest joy. but joy's a thing that soon looks sick when some one hits it with a brick.' And so this Piuiipernickel-Brown distributes sorrow up and down.

Hut how? You suggest reporting cases: that might he very well to some officials but when raHes number of car, etc., mo reported to Medford councilmeii. as has been done, they treat the mat ter ii8 a Joke. Tilts is not hearsay hut an actual happening. If Medfoicl would put on an extra policeman or two to seo that drlvors obeyed the laws, also that pedestrluiiB oboyod the laws, a great deal could be ac complished. If .Medford spent hei' money for protection for her people, instead of for so much hot air und' for policenum to do necessary work Instead of having them try Store doors to see that they nro locked, wc might all be better off. -I'd suggest that ouch storekeeper see to locking his own door and let the police do moro necessary work. I would suggest that drivers learn a few fun damental rules, bucIi as, "the man to your light luia the right of way," etc. Also that Joyriders bo fined to the limit ami names and addresses' of both girls and men bo published. .0X13 WHO IS IN T K I! 10 STIC D.

Having been associated dlreelly in a business way with the Hhoift"s office, I believe t ani well enough Informed to take Issue with the coun ty court's statement, and would like to ask Ihe following uucstfouK: What kind of a conveyance has the court l'ui-ntshed to catch speeders with? a.

Would like to ask the count court what salary they expect to pay a reliable officer, to uphold the le..v, I am given to understand that J I tic per month, has been allowed in the I9S1 budget. 7. Is it true that the county court has dlanllowed the lctdtlumtc bills of the sheriff in tuinglng criminals to Justice, placing more importance in their good road record, while wutrli- Iiik tho nl-.-kles und dimes, thai the working man gels, letting more than Jieo.oeo.oo slip away through mi ni.-, t. l-'or the veracity of these statements the public who lire vitullj Interested in seeing Justice prevail, linsjnit to verify tho foregoing by a personal Interview with the occupants of -the sheriff's office.
