Pranksters Pick on
Outdoor Plumbing,
the Little Stinkers!
Jacksonville's youth showed a
flash of talent Wednesday night
when, under anonymity of ghosts
and goblins, they remodeled the
working plan of the city's outdoor
plumbing, deflated automobile tires
and indulged in weird soap draw
ing*.
Ix>cal citizens awoke Thursday
morning to find many conveniences
sadly incapacitated and crippled
And. to make it worse, Joe Wet-
terer kept the U. 8. hotel rooms
locked throughout the day, which
almost literally left many up a
tree, or at least close to one.
Pranksters centered their procliv
ity for damage to the downtown
section, few forages being made
into the outskirts.
One choice sight greeting early
risers the morning after was on
the main corner of town, where
the "phone booth’ of Jacksonville's
worst grouch was carried and
adorned with Johnny Renault's
second-hand store sign, a card
bearing the legend, "Cake and ice
cream. 10c,” and Charlie Dorothy's
barbershop sign The structure was
apparently ready for business -
second-hand business of course
with a few antiques and merchant
able bits of furniture gathered
from around town.
Halloween, in any small town, is
an annual occasion that furnishes
great sport for the kids and much
annoyance for the property-owner.
The local type of backyard fixture
lent itself most gracefully to the
occasion, leaving many an open
hole not distinguished by a mine
windlass.

Number 44
Now Is the Time
By J. C. REYNOLDS
Dr. Hedges, Medford Medic
and Chiropractor, Pleas
for Passage of Healing
Arts Amendment on 6th
To the Editor:
To one who ha* followed the act*
of the medico-political doctors, it
is clear that they seek a medical
monopoly with their group at the
helm Of course it is only natural
that they resent such information
being given to the public. The
fuel that it ha* been so gradually
forming i* the reason for the peo
ple's not being aware of its prog
ress.
Dr. Damasch, who in a medical
man. i* a member of the state leg
islature. In an interview, as re
ported in the News Telegram, he
Htated that he would like to see a
health dictator for Oregon. Under
the control of that dictator he
wishes to see all doctors, medical,
osteopathic, chiropractice, naturo
pathic, optometrlMt* and dentist*,
together with the barbers, cosme
ticians, chiropodist*, etc. He add*
that he see* no reason why the
veterinary should not also be in-
eluded.
A medical man, who is also a
member of the legislature of an-
other western *tate, said before
the state medical society of hi*
state in May, 1034, according to
another paper, that all healers,
whether they be physicians and
surgeons. osteopaths, chiroprac
tors, naturofiaths, Christian Scien
tists. or Faith healers, should be
compelled to take the same exami
nation. This highly honored gentle
man of the medical profession fur
ther said in hi* same spe<-ch be-
i. re that noble society: "it is high
time that we should demand more
respect, make our patient* our
servants instead of being their
servants.”
This would seem that they have
the vision of a medical monopoly.
Only recently Dr. Pomeroy of
the county hetUth of Los Angeles
county, speaking before a group of
medical doctors, told them that in
order to protect themselves they
must see to It that more stringent
laws are passed against their eco
nomic rivals.
Also, no les* authority than the
New York State Journal of Medi
cine has said: “We should work to
secure an amendment to the medi
cal law that will eliminate chiro
practors, just as we eliminated the
osteopath*, if we can secure this,
we will then have a good medical
practice which will protect US
from the practitioner of this char
acter for all time."
The medical doctors and the
medical journals also say that each
state should secure a composite
board of examiners if possible; if
not, then secure the basic science
board Why do they so industrious
ly seek this? So as to eliminate
their economic rivals, cut out com-
petition and thus make secure
their medical monopoly. Remem-
ber the report of the Carnegie
foundation says: "The power to

RIGHT TO PICK Win With Martin

AMENDMENT AIM
The world honor« an honest man

every time he come* to trial.
★
Election, Friend, will soon be here;
Your chance to vote is drawing near;
Have you decided fully yet
On whom you’re going to place your bet?
If not, be careful whom you pick;
Remember, NOW’S the time to kick.
Believes Judge F. L. TouVelle of
Jacksonville, member of the demo
cratic county central committee,
which is entering last few days of
the campaign with confidence and
faith in their leader, General
Charles H. Martin, shown above,
who week* the governor’s chair.
"Mr. Martin is the most out
standing man Oregon ha* had for
year«,” wild Judge TouVelle in a
special interview with The Miner
this week, "and his reputation,
character and Integrity always
have been without question. He I*
not the stereotyped politician so
despaired of by the average voter,
but a courageous, experienced man
who will be his own governor, if
elected. And I believe he will be
elected,” confidently added the
judge, a* he warmed to his sub
ject.
"Long a man’s man and a leader
of his fellows, the General ha* had
years of experience which will be
invaluable to him as governor, both
in military service and the con
gress of the United state*. where
he ha* represented Oregon faith-
fully and effectively. Mr Martin
not only favors the New Deal, he
is a part of it. As governor he will
form a strong bond between his
state an dthe federal government,
and it is indeed foolish for any
man to say such a bond would not
work to our advantage. There is
still strength in a close union be
tween the various states and the
federal government, and this ap-
f>lies as well to personnell here and
n Washington.
“I believe it will be hard to per
suade the average citizen, who
compares the condition of the
country today with two years ago,
that the New Deal is nqt heading
in the right direction, with benefi
cial results." summed up Judge
TouVelle in his plea for consider
ation of General Martin. "The
democratic nominee will, beyond
question, be his own governor,
which in itself will be a barricade
between special interests and our
laws."
Speaking of the democratic
ticket as a whole, TouVelle said:
"The democrats are fortunate this
year in offering a dependable list
of nominees for all county candi
dates all capable, honest and wor
thy of public trust. We submit
E. E. Kelly as state senator, H. D.
(Johnny) Reed as county judge,
William Grenbemer and Moore
Hamilton as state representatives,
L. O. "Otto" Caster as county
S’MATTER POP
Of candidates, there’s quite a throng;
What happens if your choice be wrong?
You know, if you misplace your vote,
It’s YOU who’ll have to be the goat.
So don’t support some worthless hick
And afterward start in to kick.
Don’t hand yourself a rotten deal
And then come round and make a squeal.
Vote for the man who can’t be bought,
Who’ll guard your interests as he ought;
And for the guy who will not stick—
Remember: NOW’S the time to kick.
Don’t make yourself appear absurd
By trailing always with the herd;
Leave herd-attraction on the shelf
And do some thinking for yourself.
If you must holler, do it quick;
Right NOW’S your single chance to kick.
After your vote has once been cast,
You’ll find the time to squeal has passed.
There’ll be no opening for retreat,
So NOW’S your one last chance to beat
Political arithmetic;
Right NOW’S your ONLY chance to kick!

"Kelly is known to all of us as
an able attorney and ia qualified
by both temperament and expe
rience to represent Jackson county
in the state senate. Johnny Reed
of Gold Hill is known near and far
as a likeable, sociable fellow, who
has made a success of his own
business interests and his duties as
justice of the peace at Gold Hill.
William Grenbemer of Ashland,
too, is an outstanding citizen qual

representatives, as is Moore Ham

Azaleas Bloom Again
at Applegate Ranch
Another of the freaks of na
ture contributing to the illus
ion that spring has returned
was discovered on Big Apple
gate this week in blooming
azaleas.

The flowers, discovered by
Mrs. Floyd McKee near her
home, have enhanced beauty
of their autumn-like foliage.
The bush producing the blos

Yep, the Politicians
Have It’ This Week
For once in his life, the editor
of The Miner ha* not spent hi*
week worrying about the great
"open spaces" in the paper. This
issue will be found to contain
little but political advertising,
and we will set a precedent by
admitting it.
Next week, of course, the
paper will return to it* usual
proportion of display and news
for (ala*.'|!$!$) election day

moon.

But boy! they’ve paid plenty
for it!
FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES
HOSTS PARENTS, FRIENDS
ELECTION WILL
BE QUIET HERE
AS VIM LACKING
Local Ticket Complete As
J’villites Indifferent On
County and State Ticket
Outcome Next Tuesday
Election day this year will be in
great contrast to a similar occas
ion two years ago in Jackson coun
ty with voters almost unanimously
indifferent as to the outcome.
Those supporters of particular
candidates admit freely to one an
other there isn’t a great deal to
lose no matter how the ballots are
counted, and pay more attenUon
to Sinclair’s campaign in Califor
nia than how their own state will
fare next Tuesday.
Jacksonville’s city ticket has
been completed and The Miner this
week took up the task of printing
ballots, which will bear the names
of West Hartman for mayor, Peter
Fick and Ed Severance for council
posts and C. C. Chitwood and Ray
Coleman as treasurer and recorder,
respectively. All are incumbent.
In county positions Syd Brown
and Walter Olmscheid are admit
tedly girding for a close race, with
I speculation varying on other can
didates. Dopesters are finding dif
ficulty in classifying running of
the three leading candidates for
the governor’s chair, some declar
ing Martin will take the lead, while
other wiseacres say he will trail
third.
However, there isn't enough in
terest being taken in the whole lot,
outwardly, to coax a dozen voters
out in both local precincts, al
though it is thought balloting will
be heavier than average.
Applegate Teacher
Invades Fastnesses
of the Rogue Wilds
The life and peculiarities of the
hill people in which the novelists
level is being experienced in real
ity by Miss Leora Culy of Apple
gate, who accepted a position last
month in a southern Oregon aclxxil
where '*
it was ' necessary * to ride
''
three miles on horseback to reach
the district. The school is at Mar-
ioi, located on the banks of the
Rogue river 20 miles inland from
Gold Beach. The route to that sec
tion leads from Glendale, north of
Grant* Pass.
Except for a bit of lonliness now
and then, Miss Culy is enjoying
her work, she writes relatives
here. Her pupils consist of six
boys in the fifth, sixth and sev
enth grades, who are members of
three or four families. She states
that numerous families reside in
the hills there, but the small at
tendance results from long dis
tance the children would need to
travel to reach school. Mail is re-
ceived at Mariol three times a
week.
Miss Culy, who boards at the
Corwin home there, was graduated
from the Southern Oregon school
two years ago and, until recently,
had been employed at the Model
bakery at Medford.

Marble Corner Opens
to Visiting Hundreds
Formal opening of the Marble
Comer by Sally Cole Wednesday
night of this week brought many
out-of-town visitors to the famous
old comer and started the town's
newest business venture off amid
the blast of horns and noise-mak
ers as Hallowe'en’s disciples filled
the building. Several hundred per
sons, many of them local folk, par
ticipated in the opening and Billy
and Audrey White, entertainers
brought here from Roseburg by
Miss Cole, were a sensation. Mr.
and Mrs. White are making their
home in this city, while Miss Cole
expects to complete living quarters
at the Marble Comer within a
short time.
The inn, which features dinners,
dancing, wines and beers, will be
open seven nights a week, said
Miss Cole.
Wednesday afternoon pupils of
the fifth and sixth grade room
entertained their parents and
friends with a program and tea.
The room was gaily decorated
with owls, pumpkin* and witches
which had been made by the chil
dren. The bulletin boards contained
work done by the pupils in lan
guage, spelling, writing and art.
A short program was presented
consisUng of poems and songs
written entirely by the children.
This was followed by an oral read
ing contest. The five best readers
in each grade had previously been
decided and of those, the best read
er in each class was chosen and
presented with a fountain pen. The.
awards were made to Alma Ayers
and Norma Arnold. The contest
was unusually close, and the
judges, consisting of Miss Rebec of
the faculty, Miss Elizabeth White
and Mr. Frank Mee of the senior
class, had a difficult time in mak
ing the choice.
Following the contest the par
ents were entertained with a tea.
Misses Evaro Bell and Norma Ar
nold poured with other members
of the classes assisting about the
tables. The Halloween motif, chry
santhemums and snapdragons,
were used in decorating the tables. V
