yt TIIK t'lissediioKS of war, lint the cost of it, is tlie Jcteniiiiiiii
factor today. There is cnoucli cusseilness flyinc around loose to
slaf-'o a war, in every niche and corner of this tcrrcstial orb; but there
is no money l'iying around to meet the monthly pay roll.
Therefore, we have tho senate reducing the army a second time,
and .the house committee Approving a disarmament conference by
unanimous vote. The white robed dove of peace has soared down
from the rainbow clouds of peace built upon emotion to a peace built
upon dollars and cents.

We have a strong suspicion (he hitler foundation is more stable
I ntil tin; nations of Ihc world cease to be competing nations, talk
about universal pence, and the end of war is idle talk. But as long
as the world's treasure chests arc as depicted as they are today, talk

lation, is not idle talk at all, but talk that is pertinent, and likely to
amount to something.
Jn lact, most evils have been destroyed by economic, ralhcr than
by ethical forces. The moral revolt lias been the more spectacular
perhaps, but without an economic- basis, the crusaders have had little
more satislaction than the paciiists have today The anti-slavery
movement started shortly after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth
Koek. It never attained effective proportions until slavery was dem
onstrated to lie economically impossible. So it has been since ilw
Norman conquest, and probably before.
J his doesn t mean the idealist and the evangelist have no func

to speak, they prepare the way; they never, or almost never put on
the performance.
The opponents of an immigration embargo declare that such a law

crats on the second. .;,

THE HOBO.
TIIKIJK came a hobo to my door, as closed the winter day; he
said his poor old feet were spre, he'd walked a weary way,
and he would like a place to snore, a chance lo hit the hay.: I fed
him victuals by the pail, his urgent need in mind; when he was
filled ho told a tale of fortunes most unkind; he said he'd like to
earn some kale, if ho a job could find. I said. "You've reached
my bumble den, I bid you linger here, and you may earn somo
iron men to round out your career; I need a man to herd my hen
I'll hire you by the year." And all the night I lay awake tip
building pleasant plans; one homeless wanderer I'd take from
ranks of also rans, and smooth the road-of one poor Jako to whom
Fate tied her cans. And in the morning, at his door I rapped and
cried, "Arise! The table groans 'ueath grub galore, comprising
prunes and pics; don't keep us waiting any more you'll hustle
if you're wise." But none responded lo my call; the bo had wan
dered thence; when shades of night enshrouded all, he jumped my
residence, and he had swiped my basket ball, the clothesline and
the fence. Oh, most of us right gladly would relieve some hu
man woe; but most of us at times have stood for things like this,
you know, and if we tire of doing good, it's not surprising, bo!
CHILD FEEDING FUND PASSES $500 MARK
Although the Mail Tribune campaign for aid to the starving children cf
Central Europe, through the Hoover organization, closed at noon today, the
total sum collected will not be known before the first of next week, for con
tributions are coming in by every mail.
Today, however, the . iial a.v;ed the $500 mark, far in excess of our ex
pectations and we hereby thank the contributors, and congratulate them
upon the fine spirit they have shown and the high service they have ren
dered.
Whit pleases us particularly about the success of this "drive" of only
six days is its voluntary character. We were not solicited to start this fund
no one was solicited to contribute to It. Everyone gave because they
wanted to give, and for no other reason.
More money has been collected in the past, more money could have been
collected this time, but we maintain no "better" money has ever been col
lected here, or for a better cause. By "better" we mean the feeling behind the
contributions for which the money is but a symbol.
Contributions were received from young and old, from rich and poor, and
each and every contribution was given with a "will." Many contributions
represented a real sacrifice, which according to excellent authority makes
them more blessed. And all of them were given, we repeat, in the finest
possible spirit of disinterested and unselfish service. "
So Medford and Jackson county doeo its part, as we were certain they
would. There were those who maintained, no drive could be put over, no
matter how worthy, particularly for the relief of suffering far from home. We
were aware of the general reaction from "war drives" but we felt that the
people of this community would be as responsive to a real appeal for help '
from those less fortunate than themselves, as the people of any other com
munity. The result of this campaign certainly justifies that faith.
Although the campaign is closed, and the publicity over, there are un
doubtedly many who wish to contribute to this fund and have not done so.
They can forward their contributions to Robert Smith, state chairman, Title
and Trust company, Portland, or they can forward them to this office, they '
will be sent to the state chairman and public acknowledgment given.
The list of contributions to date, In addition to those previously acknow
ledged, follows: - '

The First Suite and Savings bank
has not failed, and wo do not believe
It will Tall. Tho Tact that the doors
were closed today does not mean that
they will not reopen. Neither does It
mean that tho depositors will lose a
cent. This Is tho opinion of the slate
hank examiner, and of every banker
In tho city. It is tho belief of every
business man who has given tho situa
tion I he consideration Us importance
deserves. The natural ipiestlon is: If
the bank Is solvent: If the depositors
will not lose; If the Institution is to re
open, then why did it close?
Hack of tho cIosIiir lies a lent;, long
story. Its telling at this time Is neith
er opportune nor necessary. Hut it
does not Involve any men connected
with tho First State and Savings bank
in uny misconduct In the management
of its affairs. The dominating figure
In tho bank was Captain Siemens.
Itlsing from obscurity to the very pin
nacle of success solely by Ills own ef
forts, ho made the bank ono of tbu big
financial Inslltiillons of the state. In
his rise ho left no mangled remains nt
tho bottom of tho laddor. Rather tlicl
ho shove ahead of him and pull' up
with li i tn scores of citizens of this
county who would otherwise havo dis
appeared from tho affairs of this com
munity. That Is why you will find
scattered throughout tho county scores
of men and women whoso sentiments
are summed up In tho statement of ouo
of the biggest depositors:
"I would rather go down to failure
standing side by side with Cnptain Sie
mens, than to rise to famo by contrib
uting ono iota to tho hardships now
confronting him."
It Is this confidence In the man that
Is going to put tho First State and
Savings bank back In its old 'place
as one of tho sound financial Institu
tions of tho state Klamath Fnlls
