VOTE FOR HOOVER'S PRINCIPLES.
W
TTir Hoover withdrawn from tho Oregon primaries
the fontcst on Fridav is, of course, a contest be
tween Wood and Johnson. The issue between them is
clear. Wood .stands for the League of Nations with
proper reservations, lie stands opposed to the spirit of
radicalism which would throw this government into a con
flict of classes; Johnson stands against any League of Na
tions, and is supported by the radical and disgruntled ele
ments, 'which if given control, would plunge this countrv
into an abyss of discord and confusion.
It is unquestionable that Johnson does not represent a
majority of the Kepublican party in this state. But he
represents an active and uncompromising minority, and
the obvious danger which Hoover foresaw, and in with
drawing sought to id-event, is that the right-minded ma
jority would be split, and thus give the state to the mi
nority candidate.
This would be a calamity, a calainit v for the state, for
the party, and, perhaps for the countrv. Some of the Wood
supporters fear the Hoover sentiment will go to Johnson.
Such an assumption js absurd. Ihe Hoover sentiment is
rounded in principle. It will never go to a man who re
pudiates their principles. There is no enthusiasm in the
Hoover camp for either Wood or Lowden, but there is no
doubt the Hoover request, to unite upon a candidate who
thinks as lie thinks, will be generally followed.
Ot the two men, Wood and Lowden, the former will
be given the main Hoover support, simply because' he is
politically the stronger man. No one can deliver the Hoo
ver vote. Jt is essentially independent, strongly averse
to the time-honored practices of machine politicians. But
deprived of its true leader, it will automatically go to the
strongest man available, best calculated to embody those:
principles m winch Hoover believes.

WHAT IT MEANS.
TOJIJsSON is a clever politician. He was among the
' lirst public men to sense the inevitable war reaction.
He saw more clearly than anyone else, that the high moral
lervor, which sent two milium American soldiers tti
I' ranee, would be followed by moral revulsion, centered in
a materialism as low and selfish, as its former idealism had
been high and exalted.
Johnson's present strength lies in his shrewd capitali
zation of this psychology., lint like most opportunists,
Johnson must win quickly or lie will not win at all. There
arc already indications that the high wave of war reaction
has reached its flood. The beginning is not as one might
expect, among the sentimentalists, but among the practi
cal -minded business men.
At the meeting of foreign Irade delegates in San Fran
cisco the other day, James A. Farrel, president of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, sounded a note of .warning
against the Johnson brand of American selfishness and iso
lation, far more ellective than any amount' of political
propoganua.
He declared tho war had completely changed the eco
nomic arrangement of the world. America must be pre
pared to develop its trade with foreign countries, mustrre
tnrn not only to peace, but to an international arrangement
to insure peace and establish confidence and friendship
among the nat ions or a serious industrial depression is in
evitable. We quote:
"Wo shall bo confronted In a nulto unmlstnknhlo way, with tho fact
that Wb arc ablo to produce more than wo can Bell at homo. Wo shall face,
accordingly, such nn urgency for foreign trade as wo never before exper
ienced. 'For, either, wo shall find markctB abroad for tho Burplus of our
Industrial productivity or wo shall ceaBe to produce it, which Is quite un
thiukublo. That way lies stagnation, unemployment and business reverses."
What does that mean? It means that sonic League of
Nations must be established, some world organization tor
peace must be attained, that the cheap campaign crv of
America for Americans, the specious appeal ot national sel
fishness is not only poor morals but poor business, that it
means neither peace nor prosperity, it moans conflict and
ruin.
For it is plain to any thinking person, that the modern
world is inextricably bound together economically. And
an economic understanding can not exist without a politi
cal understanding. It America is not to do its part in
establishing world peace, America can't take her part in
world prosperity.
'Small wonder Hiram Johnson has set about to show
the Eastern business men he isn't as radical as he sounds.
For as the war reflex wears off, it is American business
that first awakens to the fact, that alluring as the prospect,
of erect ing a Chinese wall about the country may seem, it
spells disaster, not only disaster for those American
ideals to which every true American at heart responds, but
to the economic stability, which is the foundation of Ameri
can well being.

DER TAG.
HKX a panic conies aud swats us, bringing forty
kinds of woe, and the sheriff comes and tj'ots us
court where bankrupts go, then we'll wonder, oh,
we'll wonder, why, in booming, bulging times, when
the trees were growing plunder, we refused to save
some dimes. When the panic that's predicted by the
wise men everywhere, comes along, and we're afflicted
with it poor-house bill of fare, then we'll do some idle
raving and we'll kick ourselves a verst, for we didn't do
our saving when the boom was at its woi-st. Now that
everything seems sunny, and our chances are the best,
it's the time to put some money, with some mothballs,
in a chest: put it down with cedar shavings, so the in
sects won't annoy: for the man who has his savings is
the wisest kind of boy. Soon this crazy boom may trun
dle to the tomb in ghostly robe; then the man who has
a bundle is the man who'll ride the trlobe.
TAKING TANLAC
t
"I have actually guinea twenty-1
seven pounds In weight and feel justj
like a new man since I began taking i
Tanloc," said Dan Keed, a woodman,
who lives at Bend, Ore., while in the
Owl drug store recently. Continuing,
he said:
"Some time ago I began to have
trouble with my stomach. My appe
tite became very poor and I finally
got to where I would have to force
down every mouthful I ate, and when
I did this I would suffer with intense
cramping pains In my stomach after
ward. I would also bloat something
awful and my heart would palpitate
terribly and it would be all I could do
to get my breath. I lost so much
weight that I finally became so weak
I could hardly drag myself around.
When I got up in the morning I al
ways felt worse than when I went to
bed, and I had no energy and Just felt
tired and wornotit all the time.
"I had been reading so much about
Tanlac In the newspapers aud the
good it was doing others I decided to;
give it a trial, and it commenced to
help me almost at once. My appetite
Improved and I began to pick up in
weight and strength. I have taken
seven bottles in all now, and am glad
to say 1 have been completely reliev
ed of all my troubles. I can eat any
thing I want without suffering any
had after effects und all that tired,
worn out feeling has gone. I can
sleep all night long without waking
and always get up in the morning
feeling ready for my day's work, and
while the Job of a woodsman natural
ly requires a great deal of physical
strength I can do as much as 1 ever
did. Tanlac did me a great service in
restoring my health, and I am always
glad to tell others about it, and never
miss nn opportunity to do so."

. ANSWERS TERRILL
To tho Public:
In defense of my candidacy for
sheriff I nrn forced to answer tho let
ter wrote for and signed C. 13. Terrill
which appeared in tho Medford Tri
bune and Ashland Tidings tho 12th
and 13lh Inst.
Sinco this attack on my platform.
tlirougli tlio papers and otherwise.
anil His candidacy Is based on FACTS,
us ho says, with "Strict Law Knforce-
mont" as his slogan I wonder if it
wouldn't have been better Instead of
attacking my candidacy, for him to
have explained why one of his road
deputies, wearing, tho star of Jackson
county ut the tlnio, together with
othorB was not prosecuted for bring
ing uooze over the line tho night
California went dry instead of being
allowed to retain their booze and go
unprosocutod. Was this "strict law
enforcement?" Those are facts that
can be substantiated, which he did
not mention.
Mr. Terrill has not acted as Juven
ile and truant officer on his own vol
untary expense saving idea. He has
acted as such because tho county
court did away with those officers
and made it incumbent on the sheriff
to handle this work.
Mr. Terrill had nothing to do with
sending out those delinquency no
tices last December, that he infers
ho did, which ho says, and I agree
with him, was a great benofit to de
linquent property owners. His name
did nppeur printed on the notices as
that was the only nnmo that could be
used. Thoso notices were sent at my
suggestion and under my supervision
after consulting with tho county
court on the best method to take in
Interest of tho property owners in ad
Justing their delinquencies prior to
the county soiling the property. Who
deserves tho credit?
Mr. Terrill states that it cost about
$1000.00 to make up the tux receipts
this spring but he fulled to say that
this only covered the first half
ceipts and that under tho present
antique system the same process will
avo to bo repented this fall for sec
ond half receipts at about the same
cost making about $2000.00 for tho
year when from $1000.00 to
$1200.00 should cover It for the
whole year. That is where I propose
to save from $;00.00 to $1000.00 per
year.
I will admit that it Is rather ex
pensive, if It is truo as Mr. Terrill
infers, for the county to pay him a
l.iry for ono term while ho is learn
ing tho business preparatory to a sec
ond term, and I will admit that a
great many officers do spemf their
first term In learning tho business
and niuklng a good follow of them
selves while their deputies do work
which they ran hold up as a recom
mendation of a successful adminis
I rn Hon to gain second term votes, and
I will go further and say that many
officers do better their first term than
they do Ihe second term. If Mr. Ter
rlil does not believe In changing offi
cers so often, why wns ho so keen to
run to take the second term from
Mr. Jennings. Kxpcnsc of changlns
