REGARDING KING TUT
When a Ilody, long deserted
E'en when Cleopatra flirted
With Mark Antony upon the sluggish
Nile,
Is brought back to human knowledge
I)y some high-brow trained at college
I, for one, wouldf like to gaze at It
awhile!
Fain I'd stand beside It, gazing
Overwhelmed by thoughts amazing
Of the days when Tut-ankh-Amen
, rilled as King;
Was life full of love and scandal
Did he find It worth the candle .
In that far-off day in which he had bis
. fling? '
Ere death changed him to a dummy
Was bo debonair and chummy,.
And his transmigrating soul where
Is It now?
Can It be that It's surviving
And In Lord Carnarvon striving
To get back Into tho Game no matter
how?
Surely Fancy Is a laggard
Nowadays In Rider Haggard
When he dubs his disentombing dire
disgrace. ;t
After centuries of zero "
Tut-ankh-Amen's now a hero
Having won the Marathon endurance
race!
Having graced a splendid exit,
Tut-ankh-Amen surely recks It
Great to occupy such Journalistic space
And since tombs are dark and gloomy
And museums light and roomy,
He will certainly prefer - the latter
placo.
I suspect that In a chorus
Rescued mummies praise great Horns,
Who restores thorn once again to suu
and sky.
Tntrankh-Amen will bo happy
Yea, and find It pretty snappy
When ho occupies once more the pub-
lie eyo!
Vivifying the lost story
Of an age remote and hoary
Is a role to Btlr tho haugbtloBt mum
my's breast
And the cynlo Mind confesses
That when once It evanesces
Archaeologists are welcome- to the
rest!
Recrudesconco so uncommon
May well startle Tut-ankh-Amen
Dut since Nature was the same long
years ll.C.
He'll be proud, though flabbergasted,
To perceive how well he s lasted
For his renaissance In 1923!

corned. Hut its methods are ridiculous, (living front page publicit,

Ihe lorbidden is always attractive. Curiutisity is the corner stone
of depravity. I'nlcss we arc much mistaken this crusade will lead
thousands of people to read these books, who without the publicity
would jievor have thought of wasting time on them.
There is unquestionably an epidemic of pornographic excess in the
literary world today. The best way to check this neurosis is to leav
it alone. Attempting legal suppression 'merely stimulates the public
imagination and extends the poison.
ii iiurgen and Lawrences women in i,ove are lair ex

tiresome. They would appeal, in our judgment, to no normal mind
('ne or two chapters would be enough. For just as there can be too
much of n good thing, so there can be too much of n bad thing. "Jur-
gen" and "Women in Love" are nothing but supremely nrtificia
litorilry freaks, interesting technically to the literary expert perhaps.

perfidy of certain notorious members
of the socHlled Klu Klux. There Is
not a scintilla ot evidence In tho hands
of any official to prove Simmons ever
manufactured a drop of liquor and I
challcnKe S. li. Sundifer to face the
Issue. This charge was placed against
Simmons for the purpose of holding
him In Jail until he saw fit to produce
evidence to incriminate Sheriff Ter
rlll; Bald evidence to be used In In
dicting the Bheriff In an attempt to
force him out of office. I was per
sonally requested to secure this evi
dence from Simmons last spring when
Howard Hill, E. A. Fleming and my
self made u hurried nlcht ride to
Camp 2, Weed, Calif.
Tho Ins and outs of tho game will
be given a thorough Investigation
later at which time 1 dare say some
mighty Interesting facts will be aired
The malicious report that Simmons'
services with Weed Lumber Co., were
not satisfactory and that ho "was
bootlegging while In the employ of
said company, can be clnrlfled best by
letters which were obtained by my
request through Sheriff Terrlll.
If there is any refreshing consola
tion the local Klan can assimilate
from this evidence I proffer it gratu-
Itlously. It might bo Interesting to
some to know that District Atotrney
Ilawlcs Moore promptly dismissed the
charge of manufacturing liquor made
by S. D. Sandlfer. Also that Simmons
plead guilty to the charge pf selling
two bottles of liquor last Bpring by
my request after S. Ii. Sandirer and
I had an Interview with Judge Calkins
and Sandlfer himself plead for a sus
pension of sentence, and afterward at
the court house promised Simmons in
my presenco that in case a flno was
Imposed ho would personally assunio
Its payment. It Is unnecessary to
state that tho ? 100 flno is yet unpaid.
Although Simmons was jailed Decem
ber 27, last, on a false charge and San
dlfer made a night visit to the home
of Judge Calkins his parole was not
sought until after oxplratlon of Judge
Calkins' term of office. Why?
Please pardon my Intrusion upon
your courtesy in behalf of justice and
fair piny. L. M. SWEET.

To the Editor:
It was the pleasure of the writer to
attend the concert, ot the Presbyte
rian church last evening, given under
the auspices of the Greater Medford
lub, nt which Mrs. Mary Carr Moore.
assisted by Mr. Scott and Mr. Janes,
ably rendered a program of ex
ceptional merit. Tho synopsis of the
opera ".Narcissa" composed by Mrs.
Moore, was well worth the price of
admission. . .
After having read the notices and
heard .the announcements, at various
gatherings, . and knowing the cause
was unprcpnred to see the lack of in
fer .which this concert, was given, I
torcst taken by tho public, as was evi
denced by tlie very small gathering,
to hear so meritorious a concert.
Thero is n movement on foot in the
churches, and schools to ..further .a
better film showing,! I .won.dor If it
would not bo well for some of tho
very public spirited , organizations of
tho city to sponsor and patronize
something of a high-class nature

NEW YORK, March 10. On his
first day In uniform at the Yankee
camp at New Orleans, Babe Ruth, out
to regain the home run crown ho lost
last year, failed to lift the ball over
the fence, but did send one of his
typically hard drives near tho wooden
wall.
Critics who Baw Ruth in his first
1923 performance teleeranhed home
that he was still weak from tho at
tack of influenza which seized him
when he was getting Into condition
at Hot Springs, Ark. At his first
few times at bat he lifted pop-ups.

ARK is tho path Old Bill is treading, tho lights aro out, his
bearings lost ; his recent widely tooted wedding turns out
to be a bitter frost. As wilted as the bridal lilies aro Wilhelm's
hopes of peace and bliss; his bride confesses to the willies, and
cold and clammy is lier kiss. Tho halls of Doom arc bleak and
dreary, and spectres walk at midnight black; the bride admits
that she is weary of keeping house in such a shack. Strange
shapes aro flitting in the basement, strange voices echo to and
fro, and ghosts aro waiting nt tho easement, and say to Bill, "I
told you so." Tho rain is wet the winds arc tireless, and dismal
winds forever blow; and to old Bill thero comes, by wireless,
word from his sons, "I told you so." Bill looks around, in hope
of winning some sympathy in his dismay, and finds the whole
blamed world is grinning and grinning harder every day. Oh,
any other husband living might find some pity in his woe, hut to
Old Bill the world is giving that bitter wheeze, "We told you
so." From any orticr mortal feller we would not coldly stand
aloof; his bride is weeping in the cellar, her children weep upon
the roof.

Farm Bureau Criticized
To the editor: In today's Issue of
your paper I notice you speak of the
poultry dopartmento , the Farm
Bureau." This was .mentioned on
page 4 In regard to the Crater club.
fhe Farm Bureau has no poultry do
pnrtment; they quit tho poultrymen
V4 years ago and forced the poultry-
men to form an association of their
own and finance same, which is tho
Poultry Producers of Southern Ore
gon. Wo aro pleased to hear that
some one Is willing to help tho poul
trymen and they surely deserve Borne
holp if they stay In the business. The
Poultry Producers Ass'n deserves the
credit for its success and not tho Farm
Bureau. I think tho error should be
corrected as it Is not justice to our
members. E. C. LOCKWOOD,
