The Medford Mess
fTIHE trial of the first of the persons accused of stealing
JL ballots in Jackson county has progressed far enough
that the evidence reveals a most amazing state of affairs.
The leaders of the "Good Government Congress" organized
i to carry out one of the most diabolical plots ever attempted
in order to hold control of public offices. They planned and
executed the breaking into the courthouse and stealing the
ballots of the last election in order to prevent a recount
Testimony of participants has shown that .L. A. Banks,
County Judge Fehl and others who were leading the "revo
lution" in Jackson county were m on the plot though they
did not handle the ballots themselves.
Here indeed is a situation which strikes at the founda
tion of "law and order" which Banks was accustomed to
rave about. The group had securetTthe election of a county
sheriff and the xounty judge. Apparently they knew if the
recount of ballots proceeded their sheriff would not be able
to retain his office; possibly other skulduggery in the elec
tion mieht have been uncovered. Obviously the thing, to do
was to destroy the ballots and prevent the recount. This
was done. ;
While the trial is not concluded, enough evidence has
been introduced thoroughly to discredit the whole campaign
of Banks and Fehl and their cohorts. They were political
schemers trying to gain control of the court house for sel
fish ends. Had they succeeded the end might easily have
been virtual anarchy in Jackson county. The fight of the
decent elements in the county was costly and strenuous, for
no one stands to gain in feudism of that sort. The fact that
individuals were willing to stand up to sustain the real for
ces of law and order deserves the hearty commendation of
the remainder of the state. They have performed a con
spicuous public service.
Now is the time to purge the infection with thorough
ness. The willful group who organized and fomented the
trouble should be completely and permanently discredited.
Until that is done the peace of partial victory won by the
Banks verdict of guilty may prove only temporary.

BITS for BREAKFAST
By R, J. HENDRICKS
Thomas and the Governorship
AS the popularity which Gov. Meier enjoyed on taking
office wanes his following is forced to cast about for
someone to step out as his successor. News sleuths have al
ready lighted on Charles M. Thomas, public utility commis
sioner, as runner-up in case Meier, as is expected, does not
make the race for reelection. Thomas is going through the
usual motions a candidate makes to build up a following
and a prestige. He has made anti-utility speeches at two
"hot" spots m the state, Klamath Falls and Tillamook, I
and tonight he is to address a mass meeting in Portland.
Some 25 clubs are said to sponsor the address, though their
names have not been reported.
Thomas ha9 been doing a good job as utility commis
sioner. His investigation of the CPS deal -as thorough.
He managed the Northwestern investigation pretty well, al
though his rate cut order was held up by the court; and in
view of the depression it is doubtful now if he can make
his new orders to stand if they repeat the reduction, simply
because earnings of the utilities have fallen off. Other in
vestigations are under way, on Copco, Mt. States Power
company; and the omnipresent telephone case is still on the
docket.
Now we are going to give Thomas some advice, and
give it to him out loud so that everybody can hear. That is
if he is ambitious for the governorship, the best politics is
to stop speechifying and keep pounding on his job. He has
plenty of material to Vork on, without making stump
speeches about the state. The newspapers have given him
yards of publicity and will give him plenty more as he pro
ceeds with his investigations. The people are already well
informed of the sins of the utilities : what they want is well
directed effort toward intelligent regulation.
The best speeches Thomas can make will be to prose
cute his work faithfully and fearlessly, as he has done here
tofore. If he does that he ought not to worry about 1934.
At this stage of the game it is mighty easy for a guber
natorial possibility to talk himself out of the running.
Naught-Eight
rpHIS is the 25th reunion for the classes of 1908. On many
X campuses these alumni of a quarter century are gath
ering and looking out on a world they have helped to mold.
One of them, at the U. of O. confessed his class had not
lived up to its responsibilities and opportunities. While
the graduates are hardly to be condemned for the sins of
the century, still they and their predecessors of thirty, forty
and fifty year classes have a lot to answer for. The Eucrene
News commented as follows on the address of the 25-year
grad at the alumni luncheon :
"This man confessed failure for his generation. He mark
ed the rise of the machine and predicted that this man-made
thing would devour its creator unless idealism were returned
to a high place in the working world. He argued that science
and invention, the exact sciences, had outstripped the social
sciences. Learning was out of balance. The- world. must look
to the social sciences for relief from its troubles. That will
give the general idea of his talk, though the words here are
nowhere near as eloquent as the speaker's.
"It was a sad thing to hear an intelligent man confess
failure for hl8 generation, but the confession was courageous.
On day the graduates will remember that address. Let ns hope
they keep remembering; that they also act."

LN MI mail the other day I had
an amusing letter from a young child
who was suffering from mumps. "The

the Instructions
of my young cor
r e ipondtnt
Mumps Is aa in
fectious disease,
quickly s p r ad
from one child to
another. For this
reason It Is ad
visable that dur
ing the height of
the disease the child be kept in bed
and away from other children.
"Parotitis" is the medical name for
mumps, it means an innammauon
and swelling of the saliva-forming
gland called the "parotid gland".
This is located In the tissues Just
below the lobe of the ear.
When the gland la Infected, the
face and nock are swollen. The jaw
Is stiff, so that talking, chewing and
swallowing are difficult and palnfuL
Contrary to a common notion, the
disease may afflict young adults. It
is of frequent occurrence among
young men between the ages of
twenty and thirty. The disease is
exceedingly rare in early Infancy
and beyond the age of forty. As a
rule, one attack protects against fur
ther attacks, but cases have been re
ported of second, third and even
fourth attacks.
Dangerous Complications
In children, the disease Is usually
ot a mild nature. It is more severe
when It afflicts adults. Complications
are more prone to occur in adults
than in children. Kidney diseases,
nervous conditions, sterility. Impaired
hearing and, in some cases, deafness.
have resulted from sever attacks of
mumps.
During the Illness the mouth
should be kept scrupulously clean.
Use an alkaline mouth wash at least
twice a day. The diet should be
light and nutritious and consist
mainly of fluids. The danger of com
plicaUons Is greaUy lessened If the
victim is kept in bed. The disease
usually terminates within a week.
Quarantine should be maintained for
at least two weeks.
Do not look upon mumps as a mild
disease, and never wilfully expos a
child to this affliction. Mumps,
measles, chicken pox, scarlet fever
and diphtheria still continue to be
serious hazards to the health of our
children. Let us protect them by
early recognlUon of these ailments
and take the necessary precautions
without delay.

THE STORY.
CHAPTER XXII
When Curtis suggested driving
home by way of the Park "for a
little air," Joan just nodded. There
was a strength about him, a quiet
smiling determination ... no use
fighting it, and besides, it didn't
matter.
At the door he waited, barehead
ed, smiling, while she searched for
the key.
"And when am I going to see you
again?"
Joan thought of Mrs. Barstow.
Hilda. Everything. "I always stay
home and study at night," she said
quickly. Too quickly.
"Poor child I" he murmured.
"Well have to out a stop to so much
work. All work and no plaji! Good

morning!''
He was gone, but he would come
back. Joan knew that he would,
and she didn't know whether she
was glad or sorry. She tried to
think it out. but the headache came
back. She crept into bed, shiver

and stare her out of countenance.

When Sunday came and staisie

summer countryside, where the air
was sweet with drying grass, and
bees and butterflies blundered
against the windshield in the
drowsy sun.
Once a baby rabbit, scampering
through the park, brought the sud
den happy tears to her eyes. Why?
Why did it make her all glowinr
and alive to see a baby cotton-tali
go hopping across her path? And
then she remembered. Once when
she was walking with Bill, In the

was so sure there weren't any that
he never wrote for them. Perhaps,

wiped her cheek where his rough
red tongue had kissed it. Captain
Horner . . . dead . . .
She hurried now. Hurried
through the dust to the little house
in the hollow, near the fishery and
the old saloons. Beads of sweat
stood out on her forehead. Her hair
curled damply all over her head.
When she saw it, the little sun
blistered house with the red gerani
ums blaxing in the parlor window
she knew what she had been afraid
of. That it would be gone, gone
like Captain Horner.
"Why it's Joan! Come right in!

glowed with hospitality. "Now you

The little room where the twins
had played and the clothes-lines
had flapped outside the window was
changed. New curtains, a new rug,
even a new rocking chair. Some
thing had happened here. Some
change.

asked, and waited, waited for what
Mrs. Martin would say.
"Why. yes. Didnt I tell yon Eu

"Bill is is he"
"Oh. Bill's Just dofn' fine. Now

Spools of Mack and tan and brown

She'd tell BLIL Ask him to ro

to dose up again, choking her.
Didn't he ever ask about me?"
"Well. now. boys dont ever write .

droned on. "But I know hell be

Joan stood up. There was no use
waiting any longer. It was just as
she knew it would be. He hadn't
asked. He hadn't cared. It was all
over. Another girl by now meet
likely ... all over ... all over.
Mrs. Martin stood on tiptoe and
kissed her. "Come back soon.
dearie," she said.
Joan smiled back bravely. "Good
bye! Goodbye!" But she knew she
would never come back, never
come back to Sausalito again.
Never stand on the high road and
look across the bay to Belvedere,
never see the lights twinkling on
the little boats bobbing up and
down in the dark water in the night.
Never smell the pungent spicy
smells of the tiny shrubs and weeds
in the summer sun, never listen to
the laD. Ian. lao of the water, and
the squeak of the big ferry tied to
the dock.

house a woman stopped her. A
dusky haired woman, with hard,
dark eyes, and a drooping cupid's

the wife of the garage man Bill
used to work fori

Joan paled.
"Yes, I'd see hhn as I'd go by for
my evening walk. I alwars
thought, 'It's none of my business.
but if I was her, I sure wouldn't
waste my time'."
"I'm afraid I havent the time to
waste talking about it now," Joan
said coldly. "I have to catch a boat."

was one. I never trusted him

Mrs. Martin, "clearing un" har-

gilt darning basket, and sent the
spools and balls rattling over the
floor. As she picked up Bill's pic

address after all"
At the ferry building San

"Mr. Barstow. Yes, 111 wait for

tonight. Weuld you would you
like to take me out somewhere?'
Curtis Barstow's smile lingered
after he had hung up the receiver
and turned to his stenographer
again. He fingered the sheaf of
papers on his desk, struggling to
collect his thoughts. It was the
first time Joan had asked anything
of him.
"In reply would state "
His eyes traveled upward to the
