The sentencing of a Medford taxi driver to two years in the state penitentiary for throwing a whisky bottle into a crowd of fans at a Medford wrestling match has drawn surprised comment from many southern Oregonians. At first blush, the sentence seems to many to be unusually severe, inasmuch as the offender had no previous police record and acted during the excite ment of watching an athletic contest. But probably one of the most persuading considerations to the court was the injury caused by the act, which of course properly determines gravity of the situation. It appears that a woman—innocent victim of the thoughtless act—may never fully recover from head injuries suffered. Two other persons also were hurt by the glass missile as it hurtled into ringside crowds. Had the offender injured three innocent victims by motor car, or by some other more common mishap due to his own foolishness, the sentence w’ould have been expected. But because it is uncommon to throw whisky bottles at wrestlers—and because a lot of us have had an urge to throw- something at ’em—such a sentence comes as a rude awakening to the fact that “innocent fun” isn't always w-hat we intended it to be. Perhaps outcome of this unfortunate event will tend to keep other potential excitables from injuring more bystanders. That is the primary purpose of law- enforcement, anyway. Interests of the behaving public are of far greater importance than the desired freedom of missile-throw-ing row-dies. ■A ★ ★ Just then a planner— The Star Spangled Banner In a neighboring cottage began And I murmured, "Hosannah' Lord bless that planner And the tune that gets next to a man."
