Jf this report is true it seems to lis a viery foolish perforni

TUOSIC UepublieaiiK who prefer Day, because 1bey believe
he i better fitted for the post, are entitled to their opin
ion. Itut to support Day simply because he is a .Steiwer man,
and oppose llotehkiss 'simply 'because' he isn't, is to our mind
poor business and poor politics. ' ' . ' .
This paper endorsed llotehkiss ttuiiply because we believe
he has made jjond, and is in a posit iojn to handle, the duties of
the position more efficiently than any other applicant. A num
ber of other newspapers have done the Name. .
This seems to us the sensible way to view bis reappointment.
If former Senator Ktanfield intends to oppose Steiwer for re
election that is bis affair. ITntil be does, we can see no earthly
reason for rcvivinj; the Htaiii'ield-Ktciwcr controversy. It can
do neither the state nor the Jiepubliean-party any good, and
may do considerable harm.
MEDFORD'S GOLF
TIIK first Southern Oregon aniafeiir trol f ehi'inpioiiship at
' the local i-liili ended in a hlae of plory. A more beautiful
Indian summer day could scarcely be ima-jiited ; all that events
were hard fought; and there was '.the largest golf nailery seen
in Southern Oregon, since Joliuny Farrell and Walter Ilagen
played here a year an.
' We trust notliinit will interfere with makinj; this ehampion
ship im annual event. With such an excellent btinuinfj, pub
lic interest in this part of the state is bound to ixrow. Such art
event is not only uood sport, it is Ktxid )iililieity for Medl'nrd,
and brinjis the eiti.ens of Southern Oregon into closer and more
friendly personal relations.
IN this jrnl f club Medford has an asset which is not as gener
ally appreciated as it should be. It is untiiestiouably one
of the best golf courses on tins Pacific Coast. ' As far as quality
of greens and fairways are eoi rued, many regard it as tin-
equaled. Every day in the year visitors from tin; outside play
on it. We know at least our family that decided to spend, tt
year in Medford and may reside here permanently largely
because of it. v
The. golf elu'b is receiving good local support but it, deserves
even better support, at least, more flKNKHAIi support. To
ward tbisj end the more important tournaments held here the
better for nil concerned.
South Carolina, advertising its natural resources, uses the
word iodine oil auto license plates. "Charming idea. Why not
spread the fame of all Dixie by using the word "calomel?"
The papers tell of farm horses trained to stop at red-light

When other timber gels the sap out of it, it is cured. When
political timber gels the sap out in sufficient quantities, it is
