That the editor of the Medford Mail
Tribune has never attended the Round
up is plain from the
The MediJrd comments he has made

Round-up. usement of local peo-
pie are reproduced on
this page today.
If Mr.. Mail-Tribune will come and
see our show sometime he will see how
tar he is in error. He will find the
crowd had more reason for coming
than he realizes and that the Medford
visitors who came by special car re-
ceived full value for their money.
Buffalo Bill fiddlesticks, There is
about as much relation between the
Buffalo Bill show and the Roundup
as there is between a canned apple
and a big fellow right off the tree
The Roundup is realistic and the
competition is genial, that is why peo-
pie like it.
When he compares the Roundup to
a prize fight or bull fight the Med
ford editor also shows poor discrim-
mating qualities. He fails to -consid-
er that the dangers or brutalities of
the Roundup like the dangers Of
football are incidental, not Intention
al. There is a big moral difference
between an injury received through ar
accident in a relay race or a buck
ing contest and an injury received in
the prize ring. The prize ring knock
cut is Intentional and therefore may
be considered immoral. The Round
up injuries while numerous are not
planned and are not wanted. So the
sport is not immoral. There is no
more immortality about a Roundup
injury than there is about an injury
away or an aviation accident Does
the Medford mind catch the point?
The East Oregonian hopes so. Hav-
ing missed the Roundup once no one
down there should do so again on
moral grounds. The Roundup is
swift, exciting show and there are
elements OF danger about it, but it IL
clean sport and the best people of
Medford or elsewhere may see it with
out injury to their morals.
Neither should the Mail-Tribune
worry too much about the Legitimate
development" Of Pendleton. This city
has not been doomed as has Medford.
But 1t Is making a very substantial
growth. There are no vacant houses
here, we are getting new paved streets
every year, we are now completing the
finest high school in the state outside
Of Portland and in proportion to pop
ulation have larger bank deposits than
any place in the northwest, Medford
included.

DEMOCRATIC SENATE POSSIBLE.

If Woodrow Wilson is elected Presi-
dent, he will probably have a Democra-
tic House with him. and possibly a
Democratic Senate. A change In tie
complexion of the upper branch is less
likely than a continuance Of that of
the lower, but there is reasonable
ground for hope. Eighteen years have
passed since the Senate was Democra-
tic. but tie prospects at present are
encouraging for the return OF the long
time minority party to control
The Senate Is but nominally Repub-
lican, for the reason that 1t contains
SO many insurgent or Progressive Re-
publicans To gain Democratic control
of the Senate only six more Democrats
must be elected; the number seems OBJ
tainable. The Democrats lose seat
In Maine. where Senator Gardner will
probably be succeeded by Mr.. Burleigh.
but there is an offset In TIE retirement
Of Senator Sanders, Of Tennessee. Re-
Democrat The roll now stands: fifty
one Republicans. forty-three Demo-
Gratis, with two vacancies. one in Colo
RADIO and the other in Illinois.
Seat. at presen, held by eighteen Re-
publican Senators and thirteen Demo-
cratic Senator'S will be filed in tie
forthcoming elections. 1t Is estimated
that the best chances for Democratic
gains lie in New Jersey. Illinois (;wo).
Kansas. Idaho. Montana. Colorado
(two,. Delaware, Oregon and Wyoming.
while the outlook is good in Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire.
Even If the nominal Republican ma
jority is not upset at tie polls. IL is
extremely probable that the Demo-
I-crats and Progressives would join In
passing many constructive measures
in the event Of Governor Wilson's cleo
tion. The Prorressives VIII doubtless

VERBOMANIA.

The new name for an old disease Is
verbomania. 1t means talking too
much, . craze for words. A Russian
psychologist declares that verbos;ty
has become q prevalent disease and
vice. 1t impairs mental quality. 1t IS
quite possible that one may think less
the moro he talks; It is possible that
one can talk without thinking.
Who has not heard men talk nuently
and persistently without knowing
what they were talking about? 1t Is
. fact that words are possible with
out the presence Of ideas in the mind
and that ideas are possible without
words" Many . gabbler gables with

ANOTHER METHOD Oh CORRECT
ING ASSESSMENTS.

Mayor Rowe, of Fredericks burg. pro-
poses a novel method Of correcting tax
returns which he considers superior to
the usual grand jury proceeding. In
special message to the City Council, he
says that he has studied the subject
with a view of assisting the taXgath-
erers and of bringing the people to
ton of assessments for taxation. lie
recommends that 1.-The work OF OBJ
tanning the assessments begin earlier
in the year and a time be fixed for
closing up at a date that would per-
NIT Of a conference OF the commits
slcner Of the revenue with the Finance
Committee. city attorney and tho
Mayor, and that those composing this
conference go over the returns from
the assessments. so that discrepancies.
If any. can be pointed out. inquired
into and corrected where they exist
In this way the work can be done in
time to correct any mistakes before
the real estate and personal property
books are made out" Furthermore.
Mayor Rowe is convinced that many
taxpayers give in Inadequate returns
because they do not thoroughly under
stand the tax laws, or do not take
the trouble to inform themselves.
Then, too, tho work OF assessing is
begun so late that 1t does not always
hermit sufficient time for proper at
tention on the part OF both taxpayers
and tax assessors.
Certainly the procedure would servo
to secure corrections at the proper
time The work Of the conference
would not estop the grand jury from
further inquiry and correction in case
the results obtained by the conference
proved unsatisfactory. Assessments
ought to be secured as soon after Feb
ruary / as possible, SO that a sufficient
margin of time would be left for cor
rection and an opportunity given to
taxpayers to clear up their doubts and
their misInterpretation and misunder-
standing OF the tax laws. The proce-
dure which Mayor Rowe proposes
could do no harm; on the other hand,
It might prove OF much service to the
State. It might obviate the necessity
of grand jury inquiries in many cases.
