STATE OF OREGON. County of Jack
os. ss:
On the 1st day of August, 1910, per
sonally appeared before me. George Put
nam, manager of the Medford Mall Tri
bune, who upon oath, acknowledges that
tae above figures are true and correct
(SEAL) N. YOCKEY.
Notary Public for Oregon.
"Flyf" ANY well meaning sentimentalists in this country of
" em's are flying off at a tangent and running amuck
in efforts to reform humanity but that is a habit re
formers arc apt to have.
Efforts of factions of the people to force the rest of
tho people to conform to their standards have been the
cause of untold misery. Enough misdirected energy is
wasted in such frantic endeavors to operate all the ma
chinery in the world.
Tho average sentimentalist shoots along in a narrow
rut so deep that he cannot see out of it. Molehills become
mountains and he has no perspective. Such are not moved
by love of humanity, but by a zealous bigotry that knows
not the name of love. They would reform the world as
Charlemagne christianized the Flemish, by slaying all j
who stood higher than his sword.
The tendency to magnify the unimportant and overlook
the important is reflected in two popular movements of the
day the anti-moving fight picture crusade and the absurd
attempt to coerce Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth into
discarding cigarettes.
For manj' years the moving picture shows have pre-1
sented films of family scandals and tragedies. They have
depicted stage, train and safe robberies. They have told
the story of uncounted murders and crimes. The horrors i
of the scaffold and guillotine and the despair of the sui-1
cide, have been vividly portrayed. They have verged on I
the lascivious and skirted the unspeakable and all this-,1
without arousing public protest. They have been permit- j
ted for a decade to sow the seeds of foul suggestion in the '
impressionable minds of children without arousing the,
ire of virtuous humanity. j
It remained for the comparatively harmless illustra-i
tion of a prize fight, in which two brutes pounded each,
other, or rather in which a negro smashed at will a white,
to stir the latent morality of humanity into action. If'
the result had been reversed, and the white been victor,
probably outraged virtue would not have aroused her-
self from her trance. Great religious dailies, like the San

Tho Real Heroics.
"When Homer smote 'is bloomin'
lyre,"
And started old Greece with words of
fire,
Ho had we'ro sorry to relate,
No scores of hall games to narrate;
For, gods and Cyclops, these are
tamo
Besides a pennant-winning game.
And Shakespeare, England's crack
old bard,
Who worked his rauso so bloody hard
On Romeo and Juliet
His write-up, I am here to bet,
Of Sunday's game, had he been
there,
Would simply lift tho reader's hair.
Or Poe, who thought his climax fit
Beneath the pendulum in tho pit
Would ho had seen that awful cloutt,
With bases full and two men out,
And dropped his pile and been well
peeled
On that throw from center field.
For these are things that stir men's
souls,
And makes the ghosts' and giants
roles
Appear as folly only fit
For children when tho lamp is lit.
Give mo the ninth round tied at
that
And lot my favorite come to bat.

devoted to pugilism and graphically display in full page
pictures every blow of the ring, start crusades to keep the
same pictures out of the nickelodiou lest they debase
the public morals.
It is to laugh.
But not content with war upon the fight pictures, out
raged virtue is chasing Teddy's daughter with a broom
stick because ,she smokes cigarettes. There is no law
against Mrs. Longworth 's smoking cigarettes. It is ques
tionable taste on her part, but the attacks upon her are
certainly in worse taste. While cigarettes do not conform
to accepted standards of womanliness, they cannot be
classed as criminal. They are. not as bad a habit as gos
siping and back-biting.
No defense of smoking, either by male or female, can
be made. It is a vicious practice, hurtful principally to
the individual practicing it. But it is not a crime, and
women have as much right to indulge as men. But we
expect women to be so much purer and better than men
that it shocks us to find them descending-to the same j)lane
and copying men's vices.
Female smokers are no new thing in America. In the
time of the revolution, the pipe was freely used by colonial
dames. Today in the south, among the poorer whites
and negroes, many an aged woman finds solace in her
corncob. Cigarettes have long been used by denizens of
the tenderloin, but their use in polite society is of compar
atively recent origin one of the vices the smart set has
aped from Europe, along with other symptoms of degen
eracy. There are so many, many worse things in the world
that it would be worth while to reform that it is aliftost
pathetic to see our Don Quixotes gallantly attacking com
paratively harmless windmills.

TTC7HILE the insurgent wave is sweeping the west and
' the stand-patters are being bowled over like ten
pins in an alley, at least one stand-patter is as safe and
sure as an Aldrich in the Rhode Fsland bailiwick.
While the insurgents were insurging against a tariff
revision upward and the rule of Aldrich and Cannon in
their respective legislative bodies, the lion. Reed Smoot,
senator from Utah, was steadfast to the leadership of
Aldrich as the most ardent stand-patter could have de
sired. This apostle of the Mormon church and erstwhile con
testec for a seat in the United States senate is in no dan
ger of the insurgent wave, for his senatorial conduct has
been but tho bidding ot the master Mormon who orders
tho affairs or Utah, both spiritual and temporal, with
less infallibility than ever an Aldrich ruled a Rhode Is
land. Joseph Smith the polygamous head of the Mor
mon church, seer and revelator, and incidentally comp
troller of the tithing fund, is the sponsor of the cowlick
foreheaded statesman with the "hope I don't intrude"
manners, and any germs of insurgency that drop into
Utah are likely to find things rather sterile politically.
