TOWX MEETINGS
The "town meeting" is to be re-
Tlved in Lawrence, Kan., as a part
of city commission government The
mayor will issue a proclamation set
ting aside one evening each month
for the meeting. AH citizens will
be expected to attend, and to come
with si intelligent. . public-eplrtted
interest In the affairs of the city.
This plan is intended to do away
with the evil of public Indifference
to civic affairs, said to be especial
ly fostered toy the commission gov
ernment system.
The town meeting is not new. It
still exists in some parts of New
England. Our forefathers knew it
well in the early days of this coun
try's settlement. As the population
of a town grows, however, the town
meeting becomes awkward and un-
"wieldy. This is one reason why it
has been generally abandoned.
Regardless of town meetings,
very citizen ought to be sufficiently
interested in the affairs or his com
munity to follow -with thoughtful in
terest the work of city officials, to
attend council meetings occasionally
and to know what his city needs
-most to Insure its health, safety and
good government. He should have
opinions and express them at the
proper times and places. If the cit
izens of any community lack such
interest, no number of town meet
ings will do any good aid do form
of. government is immune from ruts
and moss-grown methods.
The people who back government
al reforms whether of the small
' town, the city, the coucty, state or
nation would do well to remember
this fact and to accompany their re
forms with intelligent, wide-awake
educational campaigns.
SKILL A.VD SERVICE FII5ST
Some one has been prophesying to
the public a "flivver" airplane which
would sell for not much more than
$500 and so would be available to
nearly everybody within the next few
years. 'Archibald Black, aeronauti
cal mechanical engineer In the U. S.
navy department, warns against any
such development of the airplane.
He urges manufacturers not to
build flying flivvers until the com
mercial lines are in successful oper
atlon. iHe believes that the small
cheap car, in the hands of the public.
"is liable to prove the fool killer
par excellence and create a grossly
exaggerated Idea of the dangers or
flying." This would, of course, have
a deterrent effect upon the whole
development of commercial and
pleasure aviation.
It Is more important first, says
Mr". Black, to organize chains of fly
ing and emergency landing Holds
throughout the country. Next, spe
cially designed passenger and ex
press carrying aircraft should be
put Into operation as speedily us
possible. This should be done with
careful choice of routes In accord
ance with service needs. Last of

Xew York, Aug. il. Hospitals
without doctors, medicines or linen;
major operations performed without
anesthetics, patients lying at the
point of death without fuel to keep
them warm, and a great lack of food
and bandages, were the outstanding
horrors in Dr. Halm I. Davis' des
cription of the medical situation
among the- Jews of Poland when he
spoke 'before a meeting of promi
nent men called together by Felix
M. Warburg to discuss Jewish relief
abroad. Dr. Davis, a well-known
psychiatrist of Chicago, was a major
In the American "Red Cross during
the war and is thoroughly familiar
with Polish conditions, returning
from that country only a few weeks
ago. ,
"In Poland there are no hospitals
or medical facilities according to our
understanding ot the terms," said
Dr. Davis. There Is a great lack of
clothing, fuel, medicines, disinfect
ants and even doctors in Poland. 'A
large percentage of the doctors have
been killed in the war and the medi
cal schools have been virtually closed
for several years. As at result med
ical attention is extremely scarce.
The Jewish hospitals, once progres
sive and up-to-date, are in a terrible
state of demobilization.
'I have seen major operations per
formed without any anesthetics. In
addition to the suffering that it en
tails this has a bad 'effect on the
work of the surgeons. Modern sur
gical training does not teach speed
as an essential, for the patient is
upposed to be under an anesthetic."
At the urgent request of Dr. Davis
American Jewish relief agencies are
re-equiplng the Jewish hospitals in
Poland with drugs, surgical instru
ments, bandages and other supplies.
The cost of this work is estimated at
11,500,000. This money will be
rawn from the S35, 000,000 that the
American Jewish Relief committee Is
asking of the country this year.

statement Issued at Mexico Oily yes

protest at the punitive expedition
and request for withdrawal was
made to the state department today.
No announcement was made In reply
but the indications are that the
Mexican protest will not basten the
withdrawal. The troops are on a
hot trail and It is not expected that
they will return until the, bandits
are captured or the trill becomes

QUINTS PAIS DAILX
It ha been found that the fund
derived from the regular tax levy
for the upkeep of Riverside park is
not sufficient to make many Improve
ments that are very much needed.
such aa the clearing of additional
frontage along the river, the build
ing of some kind of fireplaces for
cooking and other conveniences.
These Improvements would not only
add much to the comfort and pleas
ure of the people of Grants Pass,
much more attractive place for tour
ists. People from all parts of the
country are continually rising the
camping places In the park, and
they would surely carry away a hap
pier memory of the town If they
found in the camp some kind of
simple arrangement whereby their
camp cooking could be made easier.
A fund for the purpose of making
these improvements has recently
bees started by a number of Grants
Pass citizens and It is hoped to In
crease this fund during the winter
so that next spring the park may be
made more comfortable and attrac
tive. There are several schemes on
Toot now to raise the required
money, and a little thought and
planning will soon bring others to
light. A number of persons of mu
sical ability bare promised to give
a benefit concert; Miss "Wolke is wil
ling to give a performance to In
crease the fund, and Dr. O. E. Ban
croft of the Picture Mill has offered
to lecture, giving the proceeds for
the same purpose.
Any other suggestions for raislne
funds will be gratefully received by
the committee In charge of the park.
Cash donations may be given to
Mrs. George Riddle, Mrs. George
Cramer, or any other member of the
committee.
