Attention to this was called by Bob

Cmil's Emigrant Dam opposition had
;aved in, endeavored to put a P. & E.

much for Emil. He soon qhoutcd,
"The Holly Street liort will take ence

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

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. ROOT.'

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.

CLAUDE C. 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."
TROTZKY ELECTED

who recently returned from seclusion
in the Caucasus, was today elected
a member of tho presidium by the

Much surprise and widespread com

fight against Trotzky, which forced
the latter's political retirement.
Although Trotzky is not included

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.
