These are things that newspaper people generally have demanded, and properly so. In the freedom of the press lies the best guarantee of the stability of the nation, the best guarantee of the public against encroach ment on its rights and interests, remarks the Publishers' Auxil iary, a journal published in the interest of better journalism. But the liberty of the press is today, to some degree, being turned into license, and whenever liberty is construed as license by any class it becomes dangerous. The spectacle of two big, powerful newspapers giving away hundreds rf thousands of dollars in a lottery scheme is demoraliz ing not only to the newspaper profession but to the morale of the American people. The propagation of such schemes places these, or any other newspapers that follow them, in a class of doers of . evil rather than of doers of good. They are creating in the minds of the people a demand for something for nothing; a desire to live by luck rather than by work. It is a disgusting sight to see thousands of people of Chicago scrambling in the mud of the streets that they might secure the tickets in these lottery schemes as they are thrown from automo biles and trucks; to see men, women and children forgetting the serious and the worthwhile things of life in their mad efforts to obtain the coveted bits of paper with which they may secure something for which they did not work. It is such spurious journalistic schemes that condemn news papers generally in the eyes of the thinking public." It is such schemes that result in the effort to enact regulatory measures that would limit the power of the press for good because of the wish to suppress the evil. Newspapers that indulge in such schemes are a menace to legitimate publications serving the public in a legitimate way, as well as a menace to the morale of the nation The newspapers that indulge in such schemes are sacrificing their Influence for good in order to achieve a purely selfish purpose. Let us hope that the example set recently by the Chicago Herald-Examiner and the Chicago Tribune, and the effort.that is being made to introduce the same sort of a scheme into New York, may not be copied by other papers of the nation. Should such schemes become general the press as a whole would lose its in fluence on American hfe and the American people. L,nuuren Ladies' felt slippers, unusual prlcea rJjjP JOINING THE ORGANIZATIONS. Winter is a time at activity in organization work, and our home folks should ask themselves whether. they are doing all they can through these associations for their home city. Some organ lzed societies exist chiefly for personal advantages, while others ore co-operative projects for the benefit of the community. Any live organization helps bring out latent forces, but those that pro mote the development of the community as a whole, have the broader platform, and can claim more universal support. People who stand outside such movements for the general good are to a large extent a dead weight on the community. Such a person takes up a certain amount of room without making the full return for it that he could. He may by honest work in his occupation make some contribution to the life of the community. Hut a cer tain inertia radiates from him. His neighbors feel his indifference and are thereby subtly influenced to settle down themselves in a do-nothing spirit. The work of community progress usually is done by a few people and the great majority are too busy or in different to do any public work. Yet it seems as if every family might do something to co-operate with the movements for civic development. No person's life is complete and no one is taking his share or the common burden, unless he belongs to some kind of an organization that is working for development. Churches, frater nal societies, improvements and business associations, women's clubs, all these and others contribute in their several ways. Every one ought to ally himself with one or more lines of effort and be willing after joining to do his share of the work. At a convention of life insurance men recently held in Chi cago, the statement was made that the human race has added .10 years to the life of the average man in the past 50 years. The speaker expressed belief that 10 more years would be added to the average life in the next half century, and he believed that event ually man might reach the age of IJOO years. To increase the iren eral average of longevity, terrible curses like tuberculosis "and cancer must come under control. AIho the contagious diseases line scarlet lever that carry off many children must be nraoticallv abolished. Many people live through all the perils of contagion, yet come to an early grave as the result of too fast living or too miun worry, ine human mind must cultivate a philosophical temperament in order to live long.

SHOES THAT SATISFY AND FIT YOUR FEET s (prune SI Sett " GOOD EVENING FOLKS It's a lung time between dilnks. particularly for those lying In the cemetery a the result of poison liquor. Agents are beginning to come around from door to dour, but even if you don't want their stuff It is worth the price of the article to get rid of 'em. People who have no boys of mili tary age, are confident that more wars are inevitable. The fellows who step on (he gas, are lucky If later they are able to step Into the hospital operating room. The people wlio claim the dollar Is worth only 50 cents, are proDaoiy not patronizing advertised stores. Paper producers can't afford to re duce prices. Just what sugar deal ers said when they were getting 25 cents a pound. e Modern politicians are too polite to call their opponents liars. They merely charge them with being ma licious and malevolent prevaricators. No wonder many people won't go to church, as the minister might give out hymns with such obsolete senti ments as "Work for the ntght Is coming." The Illhle tells about beittlng swords into plowshares, but the American people seem more inclined to beat them Into Jhx Instruments. Doubt Is felt If John Barleycorn Is really dead, but anyway he has been put as far under ground as the cel lar.

Ho Mr none of the nollflrlnn who have been ehotirln? for economy, have been heard axklng to have the anoroprtattnn for their own dis tricts car down. which has was driving refused to function. Th car stopped slightly to tb left of the center of the road facing north, and Hartzell climbed out on the left band side of the car, jralked to the rear to determine jvhetber or not the gasoline supply lad failed and then walked Into the highway at the right hand side of the rear end of the car. v Just as be stepped to the right hand side of the car Ira was hit by a car which was traveling north on the highway enroute to Medford. E. B. Gabriel, the man who accom panied Hartzell, alleges that be shouted twice at the passing car to stop, but that it kept on going. Ga briel then went to his companion, whose body had been hurled 35 or 40 feet. Death bad been nearly In stantaneous, and a passing car was bailed and was pressed Into service to carry the body into this city. Deputy Stat Traffic Officer J. J. McMahou learned of the tragedy about noon yesterday and about 7 o'clock last evening be went to the home of Lloyd Elwood and escorted him to the district attorney, who questioned hiin. Elwood was the driver of the car and was accotu panlod by Tom House and John 'Corum and was enroute home from the Kingsbury Springs dance. He alleges that he realized he had hit something, but that he did not see what it was and thought It was a dog. Both Elwood and Corum say they stopped the car and turned around about 3(10 or 400 yards from the scene of the accident and then decided that It was a dog and turned around and came on in to this city. Elwood is much grieved over the accident and was reported on the verge of collapse last night. The coroner's Jury visited the scene of the accident this morning and then went to the coroner's of fice and held an Inquest, hearing the testimony of several witnesses, In cluding Gabriel, McMahon, Corum and Elwood. They returned the fol lowing verdict this afternoon: "That said Fred Hartzell came to his death on December 4, 1921, by being struck by an auto driven by one Lloyd Elwood, who did not use ordinary caution nor observe the traffic laws of the state of Oregon." Hartzell Is survived by a wife and two children, who reside In Eugene. Salesman Killed On Highway MEDFOKD. Or.. De.
