Attention to this was called by Bob ftuhl and he designated them as the Holly Street lion and the P. & K. amb. Fred evidently assuming that Cmil's Emigrant Dam opposition had ;aved in, endeavored to put a P. & E. button on his lapel. This was too much for Emil. He soon qhoutcd, "The Holly Street liort will take ence af the P. & E. lamb all right." . Ho ivas promptly fined a quarter for flectioneering. , He paid his fine and started in again. He delivered only about three words when he was fined another quarter. Thinking that the pxpense of election was too costly, Emil sat down, blushing like a beau tiful high school girl of the east side, and ceased electioneering about the west side. Just to be fair, chairman Carl askrfd if any other members ivtahed to talk about a quarter's 4worth of school location. Thus, our Xnw chairman, Carl Swigart. handled udmirably and successfully the (Emi grant) dam-site-betteihigh ? school site situation. Guests were, Carl Brunch of Port land, Lee Tuttle, editor of the Jack son County News and John Ward of Florida as guest of Doc Johnson. The speaker for thn day was Doc Johnson, who said in part as follows: Dentistry of today is not what it was fifty years ago, nor twenty years,. nor one year ago. No profession is ad vancing so rapidly as ours. Compare the barber surgeon arid tooth puller of only a few years ago to the, modern dentist. Almost any one with muscle and a pair of forceps can-pull a tooth, but to perform extractions and oper at ion. a and not mutilate the patient roquires skill of a high order. - To day's dentist must be a Btudent and bo prepared to consult intelligently with the general practitioner. It is found that, sometimes, allraeilta Unit do not yield to treatment of the general practitioner are laid to bad teeth nnd that they are dogmatically ordered to have all the teeth extracted. r Here Is whore it requires courage to tell our over-zealous friend that -he Is wrong. w should tho case be such, and to save his teeth. .. How many an otherwise beautiful face has been marred by glittering gold, or porcelain off color, or form. Perhaps the mechanical part func tions -perfectly, and the construction is excellent, yet the work is not ar tistlc. If you wish to maintain your full standard of efficiency, give atf much attention to your teeth as to your Ford, and look as well to the sanitary condition of your mouth as your kitchens. EWARD C.

LOCAL HOTEL CLERK S GOLF TITLE AT GREETERS IV1EET Clyde Gardner, chief clerk of the Hauser, which was presented to him for having won the golf championship of the Pacific coast hotel men. Many players from five coast states and Canada played in this hotel men's golf tournament, quite a number of whom had learned how to handle a golf club through practice in spading their home gardens, so the Med ford man is quite elated at winning the cup over so skilled a field. Hfs golf fame ia still further per petuated by an interview in the Port land Oregonian, had with W. J. Weaver, the landlord of the Hotel Umpqua at Roseburg, in part as follows: . "Mr. Weaver Is elated over the fact that Clyde Gardner Nf Medford, who he induced to attend the convention of Northwest Greeters, won the golf championship of northwest hotel men, and ie carting home to Medford a .large' silver cup, awarded by Eric V. Hauser of the Multnomah hotel. "One thing that puzzles me is why, although many tourists carry golf paraphernalia with them, they never play on courses in our small cities," 'Mr. Weaver said. 'There-are many good courses in the smaller cities but they prefer to lay off the game until they arrive at a metropolis.' " J iur. Gardner, who is a natural-born sportsman, will now forsake killing wnu game wiin a iiiacimie kuu ami fishing for steelheads and salmon with a big cane pole; will purehase another polka-dot golf suit and henceforth spend more time on the local courses.

GATE Professor Frank Reinier, head of the southern Oregon experiment sta tion, whose scientific attainments al ways lead him to bo on the lookout for the unusual in flowers and other vegetation, picked two strange flow ers, at least strange to the general public, on the desert between hero and Kagle Point this morning, and brought them into the county agent's office, handed them to C. ( fate and said, "Guess what kind they are." "Nmbskullus blockos." replied the county agent right off the bat. and then looking again, corrected himself as follows: "No, on closer Inspection I see they are the compositos decum busto." "You are wrong," said the experi ment station official, "they are wild onions, properly known as the allium attenuifolium. Hundreds of them bloom in the hardpa,n soil of the desert." (And then appealing to Floyd Young and C. W. Norman, the frost experts): "Am I not right?" "Damfino." was the terse chorus answer of the frigid warning men who know some scientific expressions of their own. as they turned away to their desks. Then, as the experiment station offi cial walked out. of the office, Gate's parting shot was: "I'm too busy theso days to go prowling around with my nose to the ground in search of wild onions in bloom."

He was given an ovation by the con gress. Much surprise and widespread com ment followed tho appearance of Trotzky on the platform next to Greg ory Zinovfev, who last year led. the fight against Trotzky, which forced the latter's political retirement. Although Trotzky is not included among those who are to present to the congress reports of govenment ac tivities last year, It is expected that he will participate 'in the work of some of the numerous commis;d.sons which are formulating the program of the congress. , y It was notlceablo th'at Trotiiky re ceived more applause- than any official who appeared onhe HtjiKO.v,:V, , " FOUND GUiLTY KELSO.

A PUBLIC OFFICE IS A PUBLIC TRUST Public office should Ik- a public trust. Any man or woman who accepts a public office iust keep in the straight and narrow way. The American public demands a high measure of honor and honesty in its public servants. There is a certain standard of ethics and business morality that the public official deviates from at his or her peril. Thirty or forty years ago it was not uncommon for officials to even accept rebates on contracts or brokerage commissions and concealed discounts on goods bought or sold. Hut today, a public official who practices any of these things faces public condemna tion, if not trial and punishment. In 1923, A. II. Miller and Klmer Wilson were elected members of the Medford board of education, Mr. Miller owns the Medford Hook Store and Mr. Wilswn is a member of the Medford 1'iirniuire & Hardware Company. Vrom June, V)2i, to the present time, the Medford school board, of which Mr. Miller is a member, has bought of the Medford Hook Store, which is owned by Mr. Miller, school supplies in the amount of ?8(J'.(M. From June, 1923, to the present tilhe, the Medford school lxrard, of which Mr. Wilson is a director, has bought school and sc lioolhouse supplies and material of the M. 1 & II. Company, of which Mr. Wilson is a member, in the total sum of f 131)9.31. And' in' that time a very small amount has been spent with any or all of the other furniture and hardware dealers in town. , I now quote from the Oregon school laws, under the tille o,f "DIREC TORS SHALL NOT IIAVK I'I'.CUNIAKV l.NTKRKSTS" : "It shall be illegal for any director to demand or receive any compensation for the purchase of any supplies for the public schoolhousi's. And further: '"' '' "Any director violating any of the provisions of (his section shall be punished as provided in Section 5079 of Oregon laws." Also, in a decision handed down in the case of Wooley vs. Plain Dealer Publishing Company, 47 Ore., it says: . "No sale of anything in which a director may have a pecuniary' interest shall be countenanced." In a public-statement printed in the Tribune of April 6, I closed the article by saying: "During the course of this row we are going to attempt to settle one or two things for sure the most fundamental of which is this 1 are the members tiflhe school board our public servants and we their masters, or are they the masters and the people their servants?" Now I am going to ask the people of Medford to settle at (his time another question of equal or greater importance it is thi;; are we going to firmly establish the principle once and for all here in Medford, that a public office is a public trust, and not a private snap? The executive 'committee gave me a disagreeable public ikity to perforin. I have discharged it to the best of my ability, without feeling or rancor, for there is ng one more than I who recognizes the frailitics and weaknesses of 1 humanity. Now a few words personal to myself. 1 have lived in Medford 17 years; my home is here; my business is here; my children attended the Medford public school. I love this smiling valley with a love that passeth understanding. In these 17 years I have contributed, directly or indirectly, or both, to every public enterprise that has made Medford a modem little city. I here is not a public or semi-public building in the city that I have not helped to build. I have taken part in many public controversies,' but always in the open, and face to face. I have never asked any advantage in a fight, and I have never cooked up any underhanded schemes that might give me an unfair or temporary advantage, and I have always been willing to stand the gaff. When the occasion arose I have always defended my friends, and my enemies and traducers I have always forgiven. I have always been a rather heavy taxpayer ; this year my taxes on real estate alone, county and city, are $2343.79. Now, as a citizen of Medford, as a taxpayer and patron of the Medford schools, I wish to express my profound conviction that the usefulness of these two school directors, if they ever were useful, has ceased, and is over so far as Med ford's school affairs are concerned. I do not believe that the people of Medford would want them to have anything to do with the expenditure of this $185,000, or the construction of a .high school. . " Therefore, as a taxpayer, I am going to ask that Mr. Miller and Mr. Wilson at once resign as directors and make way for the immediate appoint ment of two able and trustworthy men or women in whom we can have full confidence.
