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.

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.

In today, and at the sumo time ask
you: Have you no humane officer in
Jackson county? .
Yesterday I witnessed a poor dog
running wild with cans tied to his
tail. Upon Investigatiun found the
facta were: A lady hud reported to
our officer that two stray dugu must
bo taken care of, ko this officer KftH
a bunch of boys to run him out of
town by "canning him," as they say
at the same time ho said "run tho
cuts too.", j
Not long ago our pets were poison-
ed. What's wrong here? Why not
license dogs and catH Tho town ,
surely can use the money. Then order
stray dogs and cats who live off gar
bage and hunt for water killed by!
our officer, thus nil danger of carry-'
lug dinease and danger of biting will!
bo re;novud. I. have killed 11 sick
cats and, ntv am. caring for two I
Htray dogs, besides caring for five
cats. Hut the most dangerous feature
Is teaching those children cruelty, in
stead of teaching tho wonderful qual
ities of tho dog, and thereby plant
the seed of kindness, Instead. Gold

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

other states had passed laws to mako
