other sections and place a penalty on
circulators of unfounded and destructive
gossip.
In several instances known of, over-
the-fence character assassins were
hailed into minor courts and finel small
sums for spreading untruths about oth­
ers. In one case a young couple was mar­
ried and, like all young couples, jealous
talkers started placing shotguns in some
of the parents’ hands. It cost the gossips
$5 and costs, and the sting of public at­
tention was focused on their loose ton­
gue.
Now there’s a wide open field for some
politician who would really like to do his
neighbors a good turn.

A Hundred in the Shade
Should Begin at Home
If charity begins at home, so should
dog poisoning.
Ths« fellow who has been giving vent
to his spleen by poisoning other people’s
animals lately should sample his own
handiwork first, for it is a poor game
that won’t work both ways.
But there never was a dog poisoner
who could play fair. Because a midnight
howl might disturb his slumber for a
moment, he will make some youthful
dog owner cry himself to sleep for a
week and put his pet through tortures
that end in a writhing death.
It generally is a person with this sort
of complex who always believes he can
do no wrong, and that the slightest irri­
tabilities justify any course he chooses
to pursue. What a shame it is these ha­
bitual dog poisoners don’t make a mis­
take and eat some of the bait they place
for other living creatures who treasure
life, too.
Rubbing in Dillinger
The other day we read a long editorial
condemning the way Dillinger has been
glorified as a hero by maudlin sympa­
thizers and moronic hero worshippers,
when he is nothing more or less than a
ruthless murderer and a moral rat.
But, to our notion, we believe the dead
past should bury its dead, and it is just
such long-winded dissertations on Dil­
linger in every paper in the land that has
kept the spotlight on the Indiana hood­
lum. Editorial writers have wolfed him
up in their eagerness to have something
to say on his death.
Maybe crime doesn’t pay in the long
run, but it certainly pays well in pub­
licity, both on the front and editorial
pages. To us, it is a great relief that
Dillinger is dead and soon, we hope, com­
ment on him will be buried too.
The Way of All Gossip
Up here in the Oregon country it may
sound as a fanciful Utopia, but there are
places in the United States where gos­
sips are prosecuted by law. Malicious,
smelly gossip that reeks with scandal
and untruths, in many sections, is not
tolerated.
It might be a wonderful thing for
Jackson county, and Jacksonville, too, if
public opinion and the courts would bor­
row a leaf from the book of rules from
letters

You evidently do not get the
real meaning behind all the high
pressure stuff: if you did, I am
sure you would be more charitable.
Whenever the M-T starts a hard

Using, it is a sure sign that some­
where down the railroad tracks,
shuffling along, a broad grin on
his homely face, dead broke, pock­

up his pants with his two hands
(the suspender buttons having
long since gone to help fill out the
collection of coins in some poor
blind city beggar’s hat), coming
home, will be the M-T's prodigal
son, old Jubilo. DeLuxe country
clubs, "with milk and crackers at
$4 per,” top flight city hotels, prize
fights, shows, side trips, etc., will
in course of time cause even a
huge bank roll like the M-T’s to
assume a sickly South Dakota at­

Why
No
Medford Water
Whenever Jacksonville’s water situa­
tion is mentioned, about half the towns­
people will dismiss conversation with
the remark, “There'll never be enough
water on that hill back of town to sat­
isfy needs of this city; why don’t city
councilmen pipe in Medford water anc
really accomplish something.”
But what most such commenters don’t
seem to understand is that piping of
Medford water to Jacksonville is not the
all-satisfying solution to local difficul­
ties they imagine, even if it were finan­
cially possible. One’s pocketbook gener­ and the further sum of one hun­
