MISS GERALDIXE FAR HA It asked the Xewi , York Supreme Court today, to strike from the records of her divorce suit, nil tillusions to Miss Stella Larrimore, 19 year old actress named ae one of the co-respondents. ' The court denied the request, and informed Miss Farrar that she will have to answer for the charges made before a jury when Miss Larrimore will be given an opportunity to clear her name. The situation is symptomatic of the times. The entire country ap pears to be suffering from an epidemic of malicious Kossip, scandal nionxcriiip, and malignantly spiteful back-biting, and twaddle tad dling, which would disgrace a back-alley conglomeration of tabby cats. The worst feature of this despicable business is that the victims never have a fighting chance. They can't have. Miss Larrimore for example, may be as innocent of wrong doing s the purest lily in the ield, but even if she is vindicated by a jury, nothing will remove I he stain to her name and reputation, nothing will eliminate a cer tain suspicion in the all too credulous and suspecting public mind. Idle gossip and tale bearing is the invariable trade mark of the coward. It is the recreation of the idler, the waster, and tho black guard. It is the most contemptible form of human depravity, for it never, or almost never, involves the slightest risk to the perpe trator. The tale is once told, and it passes from tongue to tongue, growing like the proverbial snow ball and when the injury lias been done, the responsibility has vanished. , We have a number of clubs in Medford. Some people fear too many. But we believe there should be one more. We need above everything else a club for the eradication of the gossip pest It is at the present time more dangerous than any other pest, including Blight, Codlin Moth, the Keyhole Pecker and the Chronic Grouch. Tho first rule for admittance to that club should be merely a few traits of ordinary decency, a disposition to credit no tale against a fellow citizen or citizene.ss, until proof bad been presented, and the person chiefly concerned had at least been given an opportunity to be heard in his or her defense. Both men and women should be eligible. The, old superstition that "gossip" is of feminine gender hasn't a leg to stand on, at least in this nock of the woods. Silence the male gossips and the problem would be solved. Quill Points When you cross two plants, y.ou raise a hybrid. When you double cross a woman, you raise what Dante saw. But why should there be a home for worn-out chorus girls? There's always vaudeville. If tho groom is poor and bald and bow-legged, it is romance pure md undei'iled. Another good way to get thin to music is to keep on working while tho dinner bell rings. . ',. .. , ' "..j'- " :' ?. Men's clothes are modest enough, but a man can't conceal him self decently in a law suit. Reformers are useful, but as a means of promoting virtue they are not as efficicut as old age. Some men haven't had a spring cold in ten years, and others have better memories. Tho meanest man in tho world is the one who is too honest to praise tho possession another man delights in. If the murderer returns to the scene of his crime, he probably has a seuso of humor and enjoys watching tho detectives. Taking orders' by telephone is all right, but it is rather annoying to have your wife call you during office hours like that. Lives of great men oft remind us that one need not be a sage that the only thing essential is a headline on first page. We'll never stand in awo of efficiency experts until wo see one iu tho act of dressing a small and wigglesomc boy. Even the habitual clbow-crookers are less annoying than the chap who habitually crooks a little finger when drinking from a glass. If one of those little European countries were set down in Ameri ca, its activities would be recorded on l'ago 6, alongside the patent medicine ads. RipplingRhijroos Walt Mason, HELPING HANDS. IT Ol'TKX happens as I drive along the tiirnpiko wide, that I have punctures four or five, and blow-outs on tho side. And then I don a long tan coat mid grab a bunch of tools, and' toil around my stranded boat, while sweat collects in pools. It is a grievous thing and dire to see a fat old boob attempting to inflate u tire that has a leaky tube. But when I've spent an hour in toil, and ruined both my thumbs, and sprayed myself with rancid oil, the helper always comes. "Oh. gaffer, you are old and fat, tho smiling helper cries; "go sit a while upon your lint and rest and swat the flies; and I will fix your busted tires for I am full of vim, with tendons tough as copper wires and pep in every limb." Whenever I am in distress the helper's always there; "You need some aid" he says, "I guess, the way you weep and swear. So tell mo what a gent may do to help you in your plight, and I will break a leg or two to set the matter right." I've never yet been in hole that helpers weren't nigh; and one would offer me bis roll and one would bring n pie. Yet pessimists would have us think that man 'a a selfish scamp; that none of us would hand a drink of water to n tramp. COMMUNICATIONS Trount Dogs and Cut.

At the banquet tended by the Eu gene Chamber of Commerce, Mark T. McKee, Detroit attorney and chairman of the Yeoman's Children's Home committee, declared that while some of the best building sites had been offered here, Oregon offers could not bo considered unless some way was devised to get around this school bill. Ho declared that while other states had passed laws to mako It easier for the Yoemen to favor their commonwealth, Oregon only has raised bars against It.
