Matthew 10: 7, 8. (; SHALL WE CLOSE THE ROGUE? One of the most controversial Hubiects whirh will hn m, ferred to the voters for settlement on November 8 is tli& matter of whether or not the Rogue river is to be closed to commercial fishing. The last session of the legislature passed the bill byTa large majority, after hearing arguments on both sides "of the question, in spite of the fact that the bill was defeated by popular vote in the election of two years ago. .; ,: , The commercial fishing interests promptly invoked''the, referendum against the bill, thus holding in abeyance 'the decision of the legislature until the people could again express their desire through the ballot in November. ' The question is difficult because someone's toes are bpiind to be stepped on, no matter which way it is decided. On one side of the fence are the sportsmen, the resorts, andy the business men who are dependent upon the tourist tra'dfe; they all support the bill because they want to make the Rogue river a paradise for vacationists. On the other side are the commercial fishermen, the salmon cannery, and num bers of residents of the county, who insist that the bill would deprive several hundred people of their only means of exist ence. ! Those who support the bill say that commercial fishing should be stopped because it is depleting the fish in the' Rogue river to such an extent that sportsmen frequently are unable to catch a single fish, and that if such a condition is allowed to continue it will riiean the loss of a tourist trade which brings nearly $2,000,000 annually into the pockets of the people who live in Curry, Jackson, and Josephine coun ties. Those who oppose the bill say that commercial fishing should be permitted because it does not interfere with game fishing, and they quote actual figures to prove that in re cent years the salmon runs have been increasing. They say that no steelheads are caught in their nets, and that steelheads are what the sportsmen want most. They show that Rogue river salmon is a nationally known product which brings hundreds of thousands of dollars into Oregon each year. It is undoubtedly true that some anglers are unable to catch any fish in the Rogue river (they probably wouldn't le able to catch fish anywhere else either) but it cannot be denied that plenty of fish are there. News items in the Medford papers during the past summer report that : "Every hole is alive with leaping steelhead and salmon, and the greatest catches in years have been reported. Since lower water has started letting the fish over Savage Rapids dam, they havo been appeamg in the upper river in hordes, fish ermen say, and large catches are reported every day.'' It must be admitted that during the previous three or four years the runs were much smaller than usual, but the size of the runs has always varied according to a certain unexplained cycle since the opening of the first cannery in 1877. So it seems very probable that even though commer cial fishing were abolished, the runs would be smaller in some years than in others. At any rate, taxes on the can ncres are used to support hatcheries which are continually restocking the upper river, so the fish certainly arc in no immediate danger of extinction. Under the present circumstances it would seem very un wise to abolish any well established industry, no matter how small, for the sake of stimulating the tourist business. If we let them alone they will both come through in good condi tion, and the entire state will benefit. Vote "No" against the Rogue river fishing bill. THE BLUE AND THE GRAY Once more an effort to get a joint convention of the Union and Confederate army veterans in the Civil War has failed. The time grows short, now, and it looks as if the two groups never will meet. Within a few years none of them will bo left. This plan for a joint convention, a grand get-together at which blue and gray would mingle in one parade ami one great love-feast, has been a favorite plan with sentimentalists for years. On the surface, it looks very attractive. The war is over and its passions are dead; why shouldn't the tmo-timc enemies meet around the same cami-fire and give a final, moving demonstration of the way in which the old enmities have healed? Well, for one thing soldiers are far less sentimental about war than the stay-at-homes usually are; and this desire Cor a meeting of blue and gray Hoems to be a part of that process of sentimentalizing the Civil war of which we have had so much lately. We have turned that war into an affair of moonlight and romance; we have spun queer, misty haloes for the heads of those who took part in it; we have had songs and poems and novels and books of unadulterated balderdash wherein the conflict appears as a sort of bloodless pageant, in which all concerned were very noble and very spotless and very romantic. We are at a safe distance from the war, now. We can do that. Wo cannot forget that , Bulae-t t-uugex . Carrier , 70 -M.60 - Bo Mall toe -3.60 -5.00 -40 -45s of heaven is at hand.

OfT. . that ever happened on our continent; that to the men who took part in it, it was no more "romantic" than the battle of Belleau Wood was to a sweating doughboy of the Second division. We don't have any living memories of its reality to carry around with us. The veterans have. So the veterans regularly vote down plans for the grand get-together. And perhaps they are wiser than we are. The Civil War wasn't a knightly duel; it was a cruel, bloody and frightfully painful bit of hell on earth. The men who fought in it remember that fact. If we wish to sentimentalize it they won't help us. Other Papers )ay: THINK TWICE, YOlt.Vf. I'KOH.K In a recent address W.

Foreclosures SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 13 Steps which have been taken by the bank ing and Industrial committees of the twelve federal reserve districts of the country to ameliorate conditions con cerning mortgage foreclosures and sales of farm land, were reported to the committee of the Twelfth Fed eral Reserve district, held In San Francisco, by K. R. Kingsbury, chair man, who had just returned from a meeting of the chairmen of all the banking and Industrial committees In Chicago, known as the central com mittee. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Reconstruc tion Finance corporation, the federal farm loan board and the federal farm loan banks, the Joint- stock land banks, insurance companies and by the United States secretary of agri culture. Chairman H. M. Robinson stated to the Chicago meeting that President Hoover had requested the banking and Industrial committees to go Into the question of mortgage foreclos ures and sales of farm lands, because of the very disturbed feeling in many sections of the country. The presi dent desired the committees to ex plore the situation with a view to amnllnrnflnn rtf cmullt Innu In Via areas where pressure exists. It was pointed out that the private group outsldo of the banks holding the largest amount of farm mortgages Is the life insurance group. At a pre vious meeting in New York the mat ter had been taken up with the largest Insurance companies In the Eastern area. At the Chicago meeting the fol lowing statements were among those made by representatives of the vari ous organizations attending: Wilson McCarthy and Gardner Cowles, directors of the Reconstruc tion Flnanco corporation: "We, as representatives of the R. F. C. personally favor and will rec ommend to our board tho rendering of liberal help to any qualified agency including banks, Insurance companies, ouucing and loan associations, mort - gnge loan companies, which will make new loans on farms on a sound basis at this time; and we believe the bonrd will act in accordance with our recommendations." Paul Bestor, farm loan commis sioner, the federal farm loan board: The federal land banks state to the farm loan board that If a farmer has made an honest effort to meet his payments and is unable to do so, but desires to remain on the farm, is willing to co-operate with the bank in working out his problem and. In the opinion of the bank, has a reasonable chance - of succeeding if given the opportunity, the bank will, with tho approval of the local nation al farm loan association, give him this opportunity, unless, some factor enters which compels the bank to act for its own protection."

Green voiced tne beiier tne Republicans can win only by putting up a splendid fight. He, too. devoted some time to dwelling upon the bene fits of the tariff, particularly as re gards lumber, wheat, wool, etc. Wool Is seven cents higher here thnu m Great Britain he said, and the same thing Is true of cattle. "The Repub lican tariff keeps cattle prices twice as high in the united states as in Mexico." he said, citing this as one example. Mr. Green also mentioned that tne R. F. C. has brought probably $100, 000 to $150,000 to this county In the last two months. Attacks Democrats "The Democratic campaign Is one of 'knocking' the Republicans," he said declaring that most of the thinking people who have knowledge or the issues aro ior .Hoover. Mr. Green expressed admiration of the president's "nerve" In taking a stand against Immcdinto payment of the so-called soldiers bonus.

A PINK OINKASK Pink disease, also cnlled acrodynla. which 'means painful extremetles, is a disease affecting children. We have learned to diagnose this disease only recently.". This disease Is more common in boys than m girls and Is more pre valent during cold weather. The disease may begin suddenly, but usually it is Insidious in Its de velopment. The outstanding characteristic of its development is a marked chnngb In tho disposition of the child. Tho child who may heretofore have been active and happy begins to frown and tends to withdraw from play and activity.1- , "7 ,,,,, " ' 'abnormal thirst its hmrt. hr.ntn m idly and msv show an Abnormal riu.

The child sweats profusely and Its feet and hands become swollen and pudgy; the skin appears as though the hands and feet had been im mersed in water for a long time. The extremetles become over-sensitive to stimuli and the children frequently complain of pain. Tno disease may toko as long as three months to develop and may continue for another three months without much Improvement. At the end of this period recovery usually begins. The mortality rate in this dlsenso from 6 to 10 per cent with death due to some intercurrent Infection such as, for example, pneumonia. The true cause of the disease has not as yet been established, but It appears that the sympathetic nervous system is affected. It is suspected, but It has not been demonstrated, that faulty diet may be a responsible cause. The treatment of the disease is general rather than specific. Children suffering irom pinK dis ease require careful nursing Includ ing nourishing food and a sufficiency of fresh air. Such adequate nursing caro promotes the recovery of the child and usually protects it against tho development of other diseases.
