WHY THE RECALL?
WE FEEL that the people, wheu they know the facts, will judge
rightly aud fairly. We are leaving the matter in their hands
and hope by their vote on Saturday they will show once and for all
time that underhanded political methods can have no place in Jack-
son county. In closing, we are going to call your attention to the fol
lowing clear-cut editorial in The Mail Tribune of July 20th. It puts
the matter before you clearly and vigorously.
..." If there is any way of calling off this recall election, it should
be called off. That's not good English, but we think it's good sense.
It must be plain to nearly everyone that whoever wins, the people of
Jackson county will lose. In fact, in the last few days the sentiment
against the recall has been growing so rapidly, that it is probably
true that many good people, who originally were for the recall,
would now be greatly relieved if the entire performance could be
abandoned, and the community return somehow to the status quo
ante. ' '
"It taust be plain now to all unbiased people, that a recall election
under any circumstances seldom is desirable. Whether justified or
unjustified, it is, in plain English, a mess. It is a thing the people
of any community with the best interests of that community at heart,
want to avoid. Only when conditions are so intolerable, when evi
dence of corruption and wrong doing is so strongly supported, not by
hearsay, gossip and suspicion, but by established facts, that tho un
avoidable evils of a recall have any chance of being overbalanced by
the ueeessarly speculative benefits.
"No such condition exists in tho present instance. Subject the
evidence thus far produced to the slightest judicial inquiry, and it
falls of its own weight. Unless there is something far more tangible
and damaging than the recall forces have presented, the campaign
promises never to rise above the level of an undignified and futile
neighborhood squabble. '
, "Let's get out of it if we can, not for the benefit of this faction or
that, but for the benefit of 'the community as a whole. One might
smile at tl0 ridiculous exhibition, if it were not so expensive. But
this recall, if carried to a finish, will do far more than raise taxes. It
will leave a divided and embittered county, until very recently one of
the most progressive and united districts in the state, it will sow the
seeds for further disturbances of the same kind, it will estrange men
who should be good friends and separate families who should be good
neighbors.
"And what do the people get in return, not the people who are
violently in favor of the recall or those who are violently against, but
the vast majority, who have not taken sides one way or the other,
but only wish there was some way to stop this strife and dissension,
and return to peace and sanity and common sense.
. "They get the rich privclege of paying out between $3000 and
$4000 in cold cash for what comes close to being a public calamity!
"Not very much perhaps, but enough to run several page ads
in some eastern newspaper, proclaiming the fact that Southern Ore
gon has at last returned to normalcy, and has regained its shattered
reputation of being one of the best places on earth in which to live,
Respectfully submitted by committee of Citizen's Committee: ,

FORD PLANS TO END MEXICAN PROBLEMS
1 BY PUTTING MEXICAN PEOPLE TO WORK
DETROIT, July 27. (By Associated
Press). Development ot Mexico indus
trially and agriculturally to a point
where It will take Its place as one of
the leading powers of the world is the
. plan of Henry Ford.
This has been learned by the Associ
ated Press from sources close to the
manufacturer. Mr. Ford, it was learned
proposes to end forever the internal
strife in the southern republic by "put
ting the people to work," as he ex
presses it, by making it possible for
the peons to obtain, educations, and by
devious ways elevating the masses in
the country to the highest possible
standard. .
The motor manufacturer wants to
keep the hands and minds of the Mex
ican common people occupied so "they
will have no time for fighting." This,
It became known, is the substance of
Mr. Ford's theory, one, that he hopes
to carry out in the near future by erec
tion of a number of factories through
out the more important states. In
short, It Is said, he hopes to reveal to
the people of Mexico how they can
help themselves.
The first step in this program may
be taken soon with establishment of a
Ford Motor assembling plant in tho
state of Coahuila, probably in Saltillo.
Business interests of that city and the
governor of the state are known hero
to be eager to bring about the indus
trial development. Mr. Ford, It is
known, would enter upon his develop
ment program immediately upon erec
tion of the necessary factory buildings.
Similar enterprises would be estab
lished by Mr. Ford in other parts of the
country if the plan is carried out, it
wan -intimated.
Mr. Ford is said to believe that if
the Mexicans once are taught the
value of Industry, better methods ot
agriculture and their possibilities lndi
viiinnllv and as a nation, the advance
of the country will prove to be one of
the most notable in history.
The manufacturer is known to have
an abiding faith In the people of the
country. He announced his idea sev
eral vnars aeo. at a time when many
persons in the United States were ad-
visinir that the United States senu
troops to "clean up Mexico."
. At that time Mr. Ford said:
"Let me invade Mexico with factor
ies and give the people something to
do. Then there will be no more war
thpre "
As the Initial step toward carrying
ont his plan Mr. Ford for the last few
veara has been training Mexicans in
jua automobile factories here. Several
hundred representative workmen Jrom
the southern republic have become
skilled workmen in the local' plants.
Now they are ready to return to their
own country and become native fore
men when the wheels in the Mexican
Ford shops begin to turn. These men,
it was explained, have learned Amer
ican methods, adopted American stan
dards of living, and have seen the vis
ion of the new Mexico. They will pass
tills enthusiasm on to their country
mon, the manufacturer believes, and
from this seed will sprout the end of
the Mexican peonage system.
Mr. Ford, it became known, proposes
to take into""the southern republic all
the ideas that he has worked out In
tills country. He would open schools
where farmers would be taught the use
of Improved agricultural implements.
He would make it possible for his
workmen to become educated by at
tending school outside of working
hours and see to it that the children of
the poorer class had educational ad
vantages necessary for the welfare of
the country.
It was learned that Mr. Ford be
lieves the working people of Mexico
have been exploited. He proposes to
throw the present system into reverse
and turn toward development.
Negro Pilgrimage to
Liberia Starts Again
L
TO USE OF CASH
By DAVID J. WALSH,
International News Service Sports
Editor.
NEW YORK. If either or both of
the St. Louis entries should head the
Giants or Yankees at the end of the
major league pennant races, it will be
a triumph of conservative building
over commercial frenzy.
The St. Louis clubs have cost their
respective owners nothing in particu
lar beyond a few heartaches in former
years: tho Giants and Yankees are an
ensemble of baseball prima donnas, al
most prohibitive in price.
Consider the present Giant roster,
for example. Heinle Groh Is supposed
to have separated his owners from a
mere matter of $150,000; Bancroft,
$75,000; Meusel $50,000; Nehf and
Shinners, $40,000 each, and Toney,
Douglas, Snyder and others well above
$10,000 each. ,
Ross Young in right field; George
Kelly, first baseman; Bill Ryan, the
pitcher; Earl Smith, catcher, and
Frank Frisch, in the infield, alone are
developments of the safe and sane
policy.
Ruth Cost $125,000
The Yankees? Kindly see J. P. Mor
gan & Company without delay. Babe
Ruth cost more than $125,000 before
the price of major league chattels got
out ot focus. Even before then Frank
Baker went under the hammer for
$30,000, while Mays was bought for
$40,000 several years later.
There is no such thing as estimating
what Schang, Hoyt, Jones, Scott, Bush,
McNally and other former Red Sox
cost the Yankees, because they figured
in trades where the cash consideration
was kept as dark as Kid Norfolk's
countenance. Even more recently
Whitey Witt escaped from Philadel
phia at a cost ot $10,000.
Next we will call the 'attention of
the class to the St. Louis Browns.
Shocker, ono of the best right banders
in baseball,. was a gift from the Yan
kees; Severeld, a fine catcher, came up
from tho American Association, at the
usual rate of exchange; Sisler, great
est player . in the game today, was
secured from Michigan university for
the cost of a free lunch; McManus and
Gerber are minor league purchases of
slight amount; Eilerbe came in a trade
with Washington, and Williams and
Jacobson, outfielders, were inexpen
sive minor leaguers. Pruitt, great
young left hander, was an inexpensive
collegian.
Tobln Was Expensive
Of the entire outfit Johnny Tobin,
having been a Federal league star, cost
a good round sum because of the rath
er frantic bidding that prevailed at the
time, and Dave Dan forth, the left han
der, is supposed to have come from
Columbus for a consideration well
above $40,000.
The Cards were assembled at a fi
nancial outlay similar in proportions.
Flack was secured from the Cubs in a
"boss and hoss" trade in which Cliff
Heathcote also figured; Jack Smith
cost less than $1000; the great Horns-

Milton Stock and Jeff Jfeffer are

Although active for years In several
professions Mrs. Kirklnnd is not an
enthusiast on the question of profes

stay in the home, sho believes.
Mrs. Kirkland recently was admitted
to the bar. Known to hundreds of her
former patients as a kindly physician,
to whom the picture of her pleading
the cause of criminals is an anomaly,
she soon is to bo sworn in as a full
fledged attorney.
Will Practice in Courts
"Am I going to practice law?" she
asked. "What's the use of letting the
men do all the work? I'm going right
into the courtroom Police court, too
and pounce on 'em like a bund of wild
Indians."
Mrs. Kirkland says she Intends to
continue her poetry and fiction writing
by which sho is probably known best.
She lias turned her literary talents to
use in her medical work and is a regu
lar contributor to several medical jour
nals. With the experience she- will
gain in court practice it is predicted
she will turn out some novels that will
rival Conan 'Doyle in the psycho-medico-legal

that its fiction and movio villailiH

This and other popular conceptions
of "bud men" were pointed out hero
today by Tom l'eeto Cross, professor
of conipuratlvo literaturo at tlio Uni

tile Judges in tho selection of a $10,'
000 prize winning scenario from tlio
27,000 that were entered by amateurs
in a picture play contest recently con
ducted by tlio Chlcnuo Daily Ndwh.
"Smooth-shaven faces liavo been
tho stylo ever since nino-tenlhs of the
amateur writers were born," said Dr.
Cross, "but tlio great majority of tho
contestants specified in their . stories
that their scoundrels should have
bold bluekfcnoustaehos. Tho Idea that

notes wickedness is an ancient ono,

They terrified their children with

KANSAS CITY. Mo. Thrill parties!
Pollen here claim tlio discovery of
this latest form of flapper amusement.
Tlio revelation, tliey say. was made
Miss Marion Miller, fourteen, bob
bed, lisping "flnpperunto," who con
fessed that sho and others of "her set,"
were "just simply on tho verge of dis-
ructlon" from boredom until they dis
covered this substitute for tile "kicks
of life," which long since bad faded
loin the "Jin jaunts" nnd "petting par
ies" of recent months.
Tlio thrill party, Miss Miller explains
from her cell in tho county jail, is quite
common. '
Marion Was Wooed
The bobbed-haired miss is under
chargo of being tlio Inspiration for a
career of crlmo engaged in by five
youths who sought to win her hoart
if not her hand ny their banditry.
"All five wanted to slip me a hand
cuff," Miss Miller told Lieutenant R.
10. L. James, in charge of juvenile
crime here.
"But to understand tlio confession of
tho 'bandit queen' ono needs a now
dictionary," Lieutenant James says.
'I have discovered the meaning of
part of tlio new language used by the
flapper," the nontenant says, revealing
his discovery.
"Their terms translated aro:
"Handcuff an engagement ring.
More Translations
"Dlmhox a taxicuh.

nothing.
"Oilcan an impostor.
"Boob tickler th6 girl who enter

"Flat tire tlio youth who takes his

"Fire alarm a divorced woman.
"Strike breaker the young woman

"Forty.Niner" Defined
Forty-niner a young man prospect
ing for a rich wife.
"Apple sauce flattery.
"Dropping the pilot getting a di
vorce.
"Hush money father's allowance.
"Corn shredder a poor dancer.
"And the entire language is filled
with just such as that," Lieutenant
.inincs says.
But, to return to Miss Miller's de
scription of the thrill parties;
A girl can't be a fiat tire, particu
larly when five men want to slip her a
handcuff. If we sit around with our
alarm clock always noar there's noth
ing loft In life.
Jazz Is "Oil Can"
Jazz is the - oil enn now. ' So are
, petting parties. A girl gets the same
j thrill out of playing boob tickler to the
horish pastimes society has invented
lor us.
"All we get at the clubs and gin
jaunts any more is a lot of static.
"And so we have invented the thrill
party It s wonderful.
"We do all sorts of things.
"Once I iiosed as a fire alarm a
divorced woman, you know, and went
out with a married man. It was just
too thrilling, but I can't toll more.
"Tho tiling I got arrested for was
just too sweet.
Went After "Real Kick" .
"The five boys who wanted to play
sweet daddy to my loving mamma role
rented a dimbox and we set out to get
a real kick.
'I was short of hush money, anyway,
and was so tired listening to the apple
sauce the corn shredders of my set
handed out that I suggested staging a
little hold-up Just for a thrill.
"My boy friends held up three gaso
line filling stations just to give me a
kick it was wonderful."
Miss Miller told Lieutenant James
"nil the girls were doing it now."
"Ono just can't be bored forever,"
she explained.
Police lay much of the Juvenile
crime to the "thrill party."
Delinquency Increases
Judge E. E. Porterfield, presiding
over juvenile court here, estimates the
delinquency increase among Kansas
City girls at 30 per cent in the last
year.
"I am shocked and afraid," the judge
said.
"Little girls have always gone down
in history and rhyme as 'sugar and
spice and everything nice,' while the
boys were 'rats and snails and puppy
dog's tails.'
"But now girls are made ot naughti
ness and cosmetics," Judge Porterfield
said from the bench here.
The judge blamed short skirts, gay
mothers and unthinking fathers.
"Mothers of today do not know the
iivos their daughters lead It they did
half of them would be to their graves,"
the court said.
