Mr. Kelsey says that they have in
their system 577S0 feet of pipe
less than inch in dismeter, which
renders that much of the system
worthless in fire protection. !, as a
voter signed the petition TO the
council but did not intend to tie them
up to the purchase Of this without
any chance to do otherwise. Now
think the best thing TO do is to vote it
down and let the council put the ques-
tion on the ticket at the regular De-
cember election on the basis of new
system. This can be done without
cost. Stockholders in the water COM
pany are sellers. The taxpayer are
purchasers.
Do not be fooled by the indirect
influence and talk of stockhOlder as
to how you shall vote. All the stock
that have in it is 800 of worthless
paper that they robbed me out of II
years past, when they reorganized
under a new Dame. And later on
they got another new name.
/ also think there should be several
changes in the city charter, Rranting
discretion to city government as to
how it should have municipal work
done. Whether by contract or day
labor, to fit conditions that time might
bring. There should be this change
made by which the sidewalks should
be built and repaired at the expense
of sbutting property, and street
proper should be built and maint aimed
by general taxation. Past practice
makes this plan honest and proper in
fnture progress. The unexpired part
of time on contract to hydrant water
need not interfere with construction
of new plant. Build it. Let city stand
ready to keep contract. The citizen
has the right to stay with the COM
pauy or take water of the city plant
1t will require considerable time
to put in plant at best. And if we
see the hard times coming over the
hill they .say Bryan's lelsction will
bring with it. we can take refuge by
getting days work to buy sack of
flour with. and it is always a good
time for a city or county to go in debt
because you get SO much work for a
dollar.

Attention is called to tn article on
another page Of this issue, entitled
"Iconoclssts vs.. Reformers" as being
not only worth reading but far more
Ihan that, worthy of serious thought
and action. There is no question bat
that the best way to rid community
of any evil is to furnish something
good to take its place Grants Pass is
certainly large enough, prosperous
enough and in every way able to
furnish some place for those who
have been in the habit of frequenting
the saloons to gather and enjoy them
selves. There is only one time to do
this and that is now. while the pro.
law is practically on trial,
for at the end Of two years the voters
will again have an opportunity to say
prohibition is a success or a
failure. Those who believe that the
saloon Is an evil and have worked for
its abolishment should certainly take
the lead in supplying a substitute for
it, for the saloon is the poor mans
club.

The fact that Grants Pass apples
won the first prizes on the principal
varieties of that fruit at the district
fair held at Medford recently, adds
importan. Significance to that section
as an apple growing country. The
action of the Medford fair managers
in ignoring Grants Pass by not
inviting it to exhibit. has caused con.
siderable feeling in the prosperous
Josephine county city, and rightly.
II they can grow better apples at
Grants Pass than they can at Med
ford the latter ought to honestly
acknowledge 1t and taKe their defeat
