BE MORE STRICT
Cbpaldoinlilp of the Joy of wrvtitK
In tho, Jucltapn County Jull hits been
extracted by u order ulcufil last But
uiday fby Circuit JudKo cimrlcM M.
Thomas, now in full'foico nnl effect,
antl pastod on tho-jail door.
Tho order providoH Imt nerving :i
county jail aeiitonco hereafter nipanii
serving a county Jull sentence. The
position of trusty has been abolished,
and the courthouse Janitor now mows
tho courthouse lawn. A trusty wus a
privileged character. Hu fired the
furnace and brought In tho wood and
languished In tho courtroom during
interesting trials. He run errands,
and sometimes read In the jailer's of
fice. A trustyship look tho edgo off
the momotony.
Another time - honored custom
scrunched by the court order is the
custom of tulking from tho jail win
dows at all hours of tho day and
night. This I was iuite a social cus
tom and caused ninny grand juries to
solemnly recommend that more wire
, netting be placed over the windows
of tho hoosegow. The county court
never dld .it, so the last two grand
juries said nothing about It In reports.
Visitors to prisoners are now only
allowed on Wednesday afternoons
from one to five o'clock. Attorneys
, may visit their clients whenever con
venient or occasion demands. A .spec
ial order of the court will be neces
sary at other times.
If a prisoner starts to weaken with
, confinement, and his health is eudan
l gercd, the court will take Action; also
rLJssuo an order for working tho pris
P' oners.
No reason -Is given by Jhe authori
ties for tho change, but, according to
courthouse officials. Is duo to the
present inmates having developed
hard-boiled tendencies.
Provisions are also made for keep
ing the prisoners from the -woodbox
and hitting the jailor over the head
with a stick of stovewood, a time
honored custom when freedom called.

To the Editor:
Hastening to answer John Car-
kin's communication in your issue of
September 8, I am glad the gentle
man has spoken;, he thus gives evi
dence of resurrected animation long
considered chloroformed to death.
For many, many nasty things have
been said In the pubtlc press of Mcd
ford concerning Mr, Carkia, politi
cally, professionally and personally,
without . eliciting from,,hIm so much
as a denial of the charges. , And
since ho rises in defense of the mil
lion dollar issue of water bonds. It
is evident the success of this scheme
Is nearer and dearer to his heau
than what his neighbors think or
say about himself personally.
Hut Mr. Carltiri Is wrong, as usual.
Ho begins his article by charging
(hat 1 am .Mrs. liowley's attorney.
Uerore muking this statement ho
elthur knew or could easily have
found out that this charge is untrue,
I uni not, never have been and never
expect, to bo attorney for Mrs. Kow
ley or any member of her family.
It Is said Mr. farkln gets $235 per
month for his services as city at
torney.' I will ndd to this snliiry
$60.00 ' per month for tha balance
of tho year If he will produce any
evidence .that I have or over had
any professional or Ciuniietut Inter
est whatever In tho Howley claim
to tho Big Butte water.
Has the city attorney reached the
point in depravity whoro ho con
cludes that u citizen who voices an
opinion as to civic affairs is actuat
ed by the prospect of a takeoff ; It
so, lie Is duo to receive an enforced
Invitation to a surprise party for
there uro yet a number of people
who will have something to say
before a million dollars ore turned
over to be disposed of under Curklu's
direction. All tho people arc not yet
stultified by the expectation of a
pecuniary benefit from public money.
A majority, if they are not deceived,
will vote for the greatest good to
tho greatest number. And this bond
election Is not going to lis proponents
by default.
I, of course, do not know the
merits of the Howley claim to the
waters of Itig llutte.. Neither do I
know that Mcdford has a right to
30 second feet of water In that
stream. ' Carkin knows no more
about it than myself or any other
intelligent person. Tho adjudication
by the court, which ho mentions,
antedates tho action of tho legisla
ture giving tho surplus water to
Mcdford, and tho only way to cer
tainly determine whether Mcdford
has nny rights in the premises is a
decision by the courts as to the
validity of the- legislative act itself
'and of the appropriations prior to
May 26. 1025, when tho act went
into effect.
Suppose we vote the bonds and
spend the money building a system
and then find out we have no right
to this water supply? Medford
would be in the condition of some
of the irrigation districts in Oregon.
Only an Idiot would build a barrel
without having something to go Into
it. Shall we go bankrupt by even
a greater folly? ,
Mr. Carkin has been an official
of Medford for a number of years,
first as councilman and second as
city attorney. His action, or inae
tlon, has assisted In wrecking the
fine water system tho city con
structed about sixteen years ago, and
upon which, has been expended a.
half million dollars. Shall we follow
his rainbow of promise with another
million dollars to the marshes of
Big Butte? W. E. PHIPPS.
