T TUB CLOSE of the recent holiday season, thousands of 'Ameri-
hildi'un required the. attention of physicians, because they
had eaten too much.
At the close of the holiday season in Central and Eastern Europe
thousands of Polish, IIuiiK.'irian and Slovak children required the at
tention of physicians, because they had nothing to eat at all.
These sharply contrasted statements arc supported by official sta
tistics, the first from an American medical journal the second from
the European Relief council.
But there were no physicians to cure the ailing children of En
rope. No physicians can cure 'them. Their only cure is food, and
the only country capable of supplying this food is the United States,
The resources of the American relief were exhausted the first of.
the year. Early in November Herbert Hoover issued an appeal for con
tributioiiH to a fund of $211,000,000 to save these -three and a half
million children from death by starvation. In many parts of this
country, and many parts of this state, the response was immediate
and generous; but for some, reason, not clearly explained- nothing
has been done in Medford and Jackson county.
We cau't believe that the people of this community wish to be left
out of this ureut humanitarian .movement entirely. We believe there,
are hundreds of people, who if they knew where the money should be
sent, would be f;lad to contribute to such a worthy and appealing
cause. In lieu of any local organization or any individual 'willing to
take the responsibility of leadership, The Mail-Tribune has decided to
start a Jackson County fund with a contribution of $10, and provide
a medium through which other contributions may T)e made.
From day to day a donation blank will be printed in this paper,
until a fund is secured, or until it is finally demonstrated that no fund
can be secured. There will be no limit to these amounts,- they may
be as small or as large as the donor desires. The blanks may be
signed or anonymous. Our only interest in this movement is to see
that this community does something to avert the greatest tragedy of
modern history, the death of millions of helpless children.

me peopie are urea ot war drives, and with reason. Tlicy arc
tired of requests for money. But this is not a war drive; it is not in
the ordinary sense a drive for funds. It is essentially a drive for life
against death, during a supreme crisis in the world's history. And
finally it is a drive for children.
It makes no difference to what race they belong. Children are1
not racial." They are not nation".!. Thev are merel v children Ami
today they arc unclothed and unfed, millions of them. The small
sum of $10 will provide tins coat and boots and stockings and one meal
n day for one child this ,wuitcr. Not r square meal, not what most
children would consider a clecent meal, but enough nourishment to
keep body and soul together
Is it necessary to compose a sob Sjtory with all tho tremelo stops
out, to impress upon anyone, the reality of the emergency that exists,
and the genuineness of the obligation upon every well-to-do. well-fed
and well-clothod American? We think not. Herbert Hoover is spon
sor for it. Every charitable organization in tho country is behind it.
llic tied Cross, Y. AV. C. A Y. M. C. A., and Knights of Columbus
all endorse it.
We believe all that the people of Jacltsoii County need is to know
the faets and know what they have to do to help;' A large sum from1
this community is not expected. All that is expected is -something,
from o very individual who is willing rtnd ablo to give to children,
who arc starving, whoever they are, wherever they are. Thin
paper is merely affording theui, through its columns the opportunity'
and the privilege.

NIGHT COMETH.
THIS .NIGHT is coining on apace, when I shall quit the road,
and seek my final resting place, my daisy -strewn abode;
and so the little ills of life don't, fret my ancient heart; night
coineth. with the end of strife, iiiid every sting and smart. It
isn't worth my while to weep or sing a doleful tune; for all life's
troubles cud in sleep, and sleep's the greatest boon. It isn't worth
my while to hate the man who does me wrong; far better keep
my smile on straight, and chirp my cheer-up song. It isn't worth
my while to swat the man who punches me; far better keep my
timbrel hot beneath the sunset tree. My autumn day will quickly
puss, the sun's low down the sky. and stormy passions cut no
grass when it is time to die. And hates ami grudges look so cheap
when night is drawing on., and it is time to think of sleep, of
dark without a dawn. I haven't time to mope and brood o'er
some small passing woe. and in a glad ami cheerful mood I watch
the bright days go. Why taste the wormwood when the prune
are wholesome, weet and cheap! The night is coining on el't
soons, when I lie down to sleep.
