PRESENTING FACTS
The Mail Tribune in not Ruing to wnite Its time in throwing
mud at the opposition. Life la too Hhort and the welfare of Med
Ioid too Important. This i-hiUiinh hli-sini-M of ImwiinK Kraft every
two riilniit'-M without !res,.itinK a lnele item of evldenre to sup
port tsurh u ehui'Ke, of insi n until) k tills and hlnlluK that, and di
rectly naylnK nothing. all this may be Kood polities, l;ut it is not
the sort of polities The Mail Tribune cares to imlulKe in.
Medford's problem is a business problem. It is concerned with
facts and figures, and definite business poli'-ies, not with personali
ties and sneaking innuendos.
The .Mail Trilun intends to give the facts concerning the pres
ent administration, facts substantiated by the records, und to show
why the policies of this administration must 1 continued if the
welfare of Medford is to be preserved. On these facts this paper
will rest Its case, content with tlte verdict of the people at the polls.
THIS was The -Mail Triliiuie's statement at tliu opening of the
city cmnjifiiKii. It represents an editorial policy that has been
strictly adhered to.
Now what are these facts substantiated by the official city
records? First rcpii'dinx dollar water, which Mr. Lindas advocates.
The records show that up to the advent of the tiates administra
tion the city water department was operated at a loss of approxi
mately .$10,000 per year.
They show that since then, the Gates administration, 'by strict
economy and .skillful management, have changed a loss of $10,000 into
a profit of approximately siS0IIO a year.
lint they also show that with the yearly payments to meet on the
water indebtedness of $10,000 a year and with $13,000 a year required
for a sinkiiif,' fund to pay off the $05,000 in bonds which fall due
at the end of 10 years, this $H0(I0 a year falls short by approximately
$15,000 of making the water department pay its own expenses.
N'ow these figures tire correct; they art! substantiated by E. M.
Wilson the well known certified accountant, and they show beyond
a" question that instead of reducing the minimum water rnte and
thus increasing the loss on the city water system, the water rates bad
to be increased as they were, if the city of Medford is to pay its debts
i:nd sustain its credit. So much for
The official records also show
indebtedness of the city has been decreased during the dates ad
l liiiishrnt ion hv a tolal of il'lHI.oliO.OI anil the cash on hand increased
by $2G, 158.1:!, anil this splendid
time ot business depression, (luring a time when costs lor everything
increased, without raising the burden on the tax payer.
And it is this sort of business
publicly condemned and that he asks the people of Medford to repudiate.
There is the issue between Omltlis and Lindas, an issue in busi
ness nrineinles and business methods. If these figures are not cor
rect why doesn't the opposition show where they are incorrect in
stead of clouding the issues by slinging mud and indulging in silly
and irrelevant personalities.
THE CITY COUNCIL ISSUE.
TIIK MAYOrtALITY fight is getting more advertising than it
' deserves. Under the Medford charter the Mayor has no more
power than any councilman excepting that he heads the ticket and
presides at the council meetings.
Electing (!addis without electing the couneilineii who believe in
bis business policies, would be fatal as far as maintaining Mr. Gad
dis' platform is concerned. . . "
Tho -Mail Tribune therefore, calls attention; to tho following can
didates, who aro pledged to' these fundamental principles, a pro
gram of sound finance, economy and common sense business methods:
First ward, J. W. Jacobs and J. II. Butler.
Second ward, O. Alenderfer and 13. II. Janney.
Third ward, B. AV. Paul and J. W. Dressier.
The election of these men does not mean tliere will be no change
in the policies of the past regarding details, for the Gates adminis
tration with this election passes out of office, and new conditions de
mand new policies but it does mean that the basic principles of fi
nancial administration will be continued, and that is the big out
standing issue in the present campaign. '

MELANCHOLY.
I'M Fl'LL of weariness tonight, in vain I strive to shed a grin;
the moon, that once was .shining bright, looks like a planet
made of tin. 1 have two boils upon my neck, and two more
threaten to arrive and so I sadly cry, "By heck," and wonder
why I am alive. I hear the laughter of the young, a sound I loved
in days of yore, but now it keeps my nerves unstrung, and makes
my head exceeding sore. I read the works of Sunny Jim, that
used to soothe my savage breast, but now I'd rend him limb from
limb, anil throw the fragments east and west. My aunts tune up
their lyres and lutes for musie once possessed its joys, but now I
don my hat and boots and leave the house to dodge the noise.
The night wind has a wailing sound, it sighs and whimpers by my
shack; my poultice weighs a half n pound, and keeps on sliding
down my back. It is in vain my brow to deck with wreaths of
laurel, fairly won; for I've two boils upon my nock and wreaths
aren't worth ten cents a ton.

COMMUNICATIONS
Deplores Janitor's Action j
To tho Editor: As a resident of the
city of Jacksonville I wish to express J
to our guests of Saturday evening my
sincere regrets for the insult offered!
litem here.
I feel that this most deplorable af
fair should not be passed over lightly, j
It is a most regrettable situation, when
the janitor of the court house has it;
in his power to Insult a number ot
time honored pioneers of the Rogue;
River valley as well us the mayor of
Jacksonville and many law-abiding,
self respecting citizens.
Tho court house does not belong to
the janitor thereof, nor docs it belong
to the county court. It belongs to the.
people of Jackson county. No possible j
excuse can no ouereu lor sucu u. huilc
of affairs for arrangements bad been
made last Thursday, with the county
court, for tho use of the court house
for Saturday evening. It therefore
became the duty ot the janitor to see
that the building was warmed and
lighted when the speakers arrived.
ALICE A. SARGENT.
Jacksonville, Oregon, Oct. 30, 1922.
Says Issue Is Wet or Dry.
To the Editor:
Tho situation confronting the
people of Jackson county today is
that wo hiivu a wet sheriff, controlled
by Evan Kennies; we have a wet dis
trict attorney, controlled by I'orter J.
Neff. Jf we elect E. K. Kelly, who is
their candidate for circuit Judge, we
will have a wet sheriff, n wet district
attorney and'a wet circuit judge, con
trolled by a wet element. Consider
ing the awful timn we have had to
rid Jackson cqunty of some of its
worst bootleggers, wltat would it be
if wc elect E. E. Kelly, circuit judg"?
iils record, as district uttorney is suf
ficient to condemn him in the eyes of
every law-abiding, right-thinking
; voter of Jackson county and of Josc-
phlno county.
C. M. Thomas is the candidate for
circuit judge of those people who
want the proper law enforcement,
who want clean government, and who
want a Judgo selected by the pepple,
elected by tho people, to servo the
people and who do not want a judge
picked by a handful of lawyers, rep
resenting and sympathizing with the
liquor traffic.
C. M. Thomas has mnde a record
for himself in the state legislature
and In the state senate and as director
of the Medford school district, which
commends him to every right-thinking,
law-abiding citizen ns being the
right man for circuit Judge for Jack
sou and Josephine counties.
I appeal to all the voters of Jack
son nnd Josephine - counties, both
men and women, who want clean
government, who want the proper
law enforcement, to not .only go to
tho polls nnd vote for C. M. Thomas,
but from this day on to give their
undivided efforts to his election.

Why Judgo Calkins Acted.
To the Editor: -J.
The most significant fact In this
campaign is tho public announcement
'. 'by Judge Calkins of his intention to
vole for Coloney Kelly for circuit
judgo. It should inako every' voter
wonder what is the matter with
Thomas, when Judgo Calkins, a re
publican, and tho most universally
respected man who ever sat on the
bench In Jackson county, comes out
in a letter to the voters announcing
his support of Kelly. The reason Is
plain. Judge Cnlklns has taken this
step because he felt It to bo his duty
to tho public. The same argument
applies to the lawyers who have en
dorsed Kelly. Thoy realize that with
nn Incompetent on tho bench, the cost
to tho county nnd to nil jmen having
business in the courts will be enor
mously increased on account ot thy
appeals and reversals nnd errors duo
to Thomas' lack of knowledge of the
laws.
Judge Calkins, by reason of his po
sition, is familiar with the nbilitv of
every nlwyer, and with the qualifi
cations of such lawyers for circuit
judge more familiar than any other
person in tho district, and certainly
nn emergency In this district has
arisen when as conservative and con-

Girls Who Wed Age
Must Take Chances,
Judee Tells Bride
(Hy International News Service.)
DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 31. Young
girls who marry old men "must take
their chances," Judge Clayton C. John
son, of Coldwater, declared in circuit
court here, after listening to attorneys
for Joseph A. Curts, president of the
Curts Candy company, and Mrs. Mar
garet Averil Curts, argue the latter's
motion for $75 a week alimony.
"This court is not going to lend it
self to any scheme to make a profit
from marriage," suid the judge.
Mrs. Curts' attorneys, referring to
Curts as the "Candy King," declared
bis income $18,000 a year. His counsel
termed him a bankrupt and asked that
tho amount be reduced materially. It
was then that the court delivered his
decision. Tim alimony was set at $15
a week.
Mrs. Curts, in her cross bill, declared
that Curts spanked her one day as she
stinted to leave her home with a
woman friend. Her age was given as
twenty-two and bis as fifty-four.
