OXCE upon a time we saw Douglas Fairbanks roll down
a precipice like a joy riding boulder, land on bis feet,
jump a raging torrent, leap to the back of a polka dot cay
u.se and boat it for the horizon witli a baffled group of
Mexican bandits cursing silently on the rim in a comical
close-iip. , , .' ;
Now a man who can do that can do almost anything.
We also saw Mary Pickford many years ago put a rich
ly dressed motor magnate and his haughty daughters to
rout by waving a dead cat in the air by the tail, and then
concluded the performance fifteen minutes later by marry
ing the aforesaid magnate's only son .and heir.
Now a woman who can do that can do almost anything.
13.it we wonder if this habit of perfoniing the romanti
cally impossible hasn't rather gone to our hero-heroine's
cranavjosT , ilie trouble with the latest J iurbanks-J.-'jek-ford
reel seems to us, it's reality, unlike all the others, it's
not sik'iit. .' -
The words that pronounced them man and wife were
real words, the deserted Mrs. Fairbanks and Dougy, Jr.,
are real people, Mr. Owen Moore, the disconsolate and out
raged husband, is no longer a celluloid projection of lights
and shades, and Mr. and Mrs. Doug are not to be king and
queen oL' an imaginary kingdom; but two rather conspicu
ous an I over-advertised humans with a genuine domestic
problen) on their hands. .
J lie af tair would be a "knock out at a 1'alace ot iMient

cracking disconcertingly in real life.
A DEEP DYED PLOT
It. W. Iluhl of Medford and Kditor Patterson of Hcppnor came out sim
ultaneously for 'Mr. Hoover In their papers about February l, on tho same
approximuto dato that a score rf Oregon republicans began spreading
Hoover sentiment. 'Portland Orcgoniun.
HIST! Step softly Ilawkshaw, there's a deep and dark
political conspiracy about. The Oregonian consumes
a column of valuable space, constructing a scenario depict
ing the craftily constructed plot just consummated by the
independent liepublican conspirators. All this Hoover
tc-lk was prearranged. .
Listen: '
It Is percolating In some political quarters that tho .Herbert Hoover
presidential boom, instead of being spontaneous, has been carefully and
craftily staged. ' There aro indications In Oregon that the Hocver boom
was stowing for at least throe months before coming to the surface, and
that tho machinery was wound up and Bet to start when word was given.
Wouldn't that titillate your risibilities? Now we have
often read political mystery tales like this and- wondered
if they were true. We have usually dismissed them with
the suspicion that they were, for politics is full of under
currents and subtle maneuveruigs, and the ignorant are
always credulous.
But here at last we have a whispering Willie that we
can scotch. ' There was ho prearranged Hoover boom. We
don't even enjoy tho pleasure of Editor' Patterson's
acquaintance. The scorn of Republican spreading Hoover
sentiment arc as unknown to us as the lost Digainma. Who
ever wrote this romantic pipe dream, is wasting his talents
as a news dispenser, lie should be publicity agent for
Alexander the Great.
As for the date, The Mail Tribune came out for
Hoover January second. That's only a month late. Not
bad for a political sleuth hound. , ,

.APRIL
WITH April comes the feeling that winter's hit the
ceiling, and spring at last is here; we are not,
always freezing, or catching cold aiid sneezing, and flu
germs disappear. The winter's grim and dreary, it
makes us sad,and weary, it fills our bones with aches;
but April is enchanting, and we begin our plant big, and
plying hoes and rakes. The winter's knell is tolling,
and naught is more consoling than is the breath of
sprJng; there's solace in its breezes, and men are simply
cheeses who do not dance and sing. The tumble-bug is -tumbling;
the bumblebees arc bumbling, the grass is
getting green: this fact appeals to reason; there is no
better season for burning gasoline. Oh, April is a hum
mer, she is the cheeiTril comer who gets the welcome
sign; though .sometimes wet and windy, inclined to raise
a shindy, her curves are mostly fine'. She shows that
w inter's ended, for she is not attended by snow and ice
and sleet; with cold she's never sung iis, and so siie
lands among us with both her queenly feet.
(hose have appeal to tho common
sonso of sumo to tho extent of tholr
saying that tho disease in tho human
subject is purely a four disease nn
hysteria. Hut this Is not tho case.
There may ho hystoricul cases, and
there may ho quoer symptoms in
these. Hut thero aro authenticated
cases of true rabies in man where
tho patient was not nwarn ot having
been bitten by n mad dog ami was not
arrald.
Tho word "hydrophobia" is itself
misleading, meaning us It docs "fenr
of water." Tho dog is not afraid of
water. It has a paralysis of the
throat, and cannot drink because it
cannot swalluw. This paralysis Is
also Hie cause of tho frolh and nf
the cunstnnt snapping of tho Jaws.
The same symptoms to n very limited
degree uro observed in tho human
victim, hut tho throat paralysis Is
very real.
'Wo usually associated rabies with
tho summer time. This Is not accur
ate. Our health laboratory gets as
many rabies cases in winter ns in
summer. Only In tho dog days dogs
are subject to more Illness nnd every
pot.T dog that exhibits any signs, of
allmont Is mistaken for mad and
killed, sometimes in a very cruol
way. n is bettor that several dogs
bo killed than that ono be allowed to
bite people: but let's have them shot
outright by a good marksmiin. Ami
let us havo drinking fountains for
nogs so that thirst will not mnko
tliem suffer and get sick.
People bitten by really mad dogs
get tho Pasteur treatment that usual
ly precludes all development cf the
disease. If the dog hlto is ever so
slight it should be treated hv n dnr-
lor immediately, and the dog observ
ed tor rallies. Tnts can be done with
out killing the dog.
