THE DAILY TIDINGS EDI RIAL OXOM! m a p i n S U IN , Muacta« MUor A SH LAND D A IL Y T ID IN G S f NOW.WAfcH VNHER SHE Intercity Jokes For ages ham and egg actors on the vaudeville stage have caused merriment in one city by poking fun at another nearby city, deftly making the nearby city the victim of some imaginary event or remark. The actor on the stage in Ashland acouses Med ford of being a hick town and, in turn whern he goes to Medford, he centers his humor on Ashland. Sometimes we have felt like going prepared for this hromidic entertainer, but, so far, have always re strained our desire to make him a target. He has been tolerated in a good-humoredly way, for really his jokes are of no consequence in the first place and, besides, they rarely go any farther, thus doing no harm for most of those sitting in the theater actually know that he is merely joking, and know conditions in "nearby cities. When entertainments became a feature of radio station programs, we had hoped the bugaboo of in tercity jokers would be nipped in the bud and put on the black list, for the scope of possible harm to a city through radio messages is so much more exten sive than intercity jokes on a stage. However, a feature entertainer at Medford a few nights ago indulged in jokes about a neighboring city which were anything except flattering. While of course ridiculous, untrue and intended only as a joke, the metgage unquestionably went to many points where hearers possibly did not know con ditions well enough to know that the jokers’ accusa tions were untrue. If a crowd of neighbors in Southern Oregon want to get together and “ pan” another nearby city, the harm is negligible; but every city in South- era Oregon should be too good a sport to permit any broadcasting to the world a joke in which pn- other city is possibly injured 'The Battle of Ocot&l between Nicaraguan insur gents and the American Marines and ùative con- stabultnp who defended the town, is said by officials at Washington to be “ without political signific ance.” It surprisingly follows the recent announce ment that civil strife in Nicaragua had been ended by the United States ultimatum. Under the provisions of that ultimatum, both rides were to submit to complete disarmament, an immediate peace was to permit the planting of crepe, a general amnesty to be granted to all rebels and exiles, occupied or confiscated property was to be returned to its owners, and the present Diaz gov ernment to he maintained until the 1928 elction, which was to be held under American supervision. Meantime, sufficient American forces were to remain in the country to guarantee order. A bounty of $lj) offered by the Nicaraguan gov ernment to each individual delivering a machine gun or rifle to the United States forces, resultd in the surrender of 11,600 rifles, 303 machine guns, and 5,500,000 cartridges by June 1 of the present year. Les| than a third of these came from the Lib erals, and the engagement of Saturday shows that their disarmament was complete neither in spirit nor in fact, even though this particular attack may have been a guerilla effort inspired by a longing for loot rather than for liberty. Whatever the political significance, the military significance of the battle is evident. Never was the importance of the airplane more strikingly demon strated. Aviator scouts saw and reported the fighting and bombing planes brought quick and decisive victory to the little band of two score American Marines and as many native soldiers, besieged by an attacking force of 500. ' The result, with one .marine dead and one ser iously injured, while the rebels lost some 300 dead, ¿s a shocking demonstration of the deadly effective ness of air warfare.—Portland Telegram. Just at a time when moderinists and fundamen- tilists seem to be forgetting their difficulties, or at least saying nothing about them, Aimee McPherson and her mother boh up with a brand new type of quaneU-aeemingly the simple question as to who shall “ rule the roost” so'to speak. The point on which most applicants for a pro hibition job fall down is lack of governmental-job experience. That seems peculiar when one considers the per centage of citizens living off the government.
