Something is wroii); with on r
jH'isnns. There is something 1"
think nlinnt seriously, in eon
lici'linn with our, desperate
crimp wave.
For the second time this your
oonviets in' Auburn prison have
risen in rebellion, following les
jierale uprisings in nlln-r pris-ons,-sei.iiiK
the warden and a
dozen puards, having hilled the
bend lieeper.
Homlis, bullets, tear fins and
determination will end this re
bellion. The men are desper-
file, defying death, but the in
telligence of their leadership is
not high.
-
The public, will wonder at
these repeated outbreaks in the
American prisons, the most des
perate of all only recently in
the state of Colorado, five pris
on uprisings within n few
months.
How is it that eriine dimin
ishes in Europe, with prisons
offered for rent for industrial.
nd other useful purposes, while
we have a steadily rising crime
wave in this country?
Js it that bootlegging has fin
anced crime on a gigantic scale,
or is it part, of a general disre
gard for law promoted "re
spectability," t h e "upper
classes" flouting a probibition
,Jaw because" it haiipMis'iiot to
' please. them ? . ; . .
Whatever the cause, Hie re
tsults arc serious, and the nntion
will have to do more than tall:
about them.

William J. Hryan used to say
"You can have monkeys in your
family, but I don't want, any
in my family."
What would he think if Dr.
Harriett Cutler Waterman, the
learned lady of the American
Museum of Natural History,
could tell 1 1 i m that one of bis
ancestors was th " fly-eatebiug
lemur," an inferior cousin of
Ihc ape, that walked around on
his hind legs, leaping into the
air, catching flies and birds
with its hands?
That's what the learned lady
says and she can prove, it.
l!ul what difference does it
make? All lifv on this planet
comes from the same source
which rules the universe.
Why should we complain if
we had humbler forms in the
beginning!
Mr. liryan would have been
much surprised to (.' himself
as he looked eight months be
fore be was born. A fly-catching
lemur would look like Mi
chael Angclo's Moses, com
pared with Uryan at (lint age.

Six Per Cent Gain Over Last
Year Medford's Popu
lation Fixed at 1 3,882
659 Children From
Homes .of Ex - Service
Men.
According to I ho school census
just completed by the school sup
erintendent's office Med ford shows
jv school pnpulnllon of !1(M7 per
sons between the nties of four nnd
twenty years. This is nn increno
of more than six per cent over the
figure fin- last year which wr.n
3438.
lf.sin the same ratio figures as
that employed by Hie secretary of
sir.ie In coniputliiK llie slate's pon
illation two years an; namely,
that the total population is about
3.7ft time the school population,
Su pt. K. 1 1. I ted rick yest erd.i v
placed the city's population at 13.
Figures from the city schoel
siiiierintendent's office snow that
the scbool population of the city
has considerably more than don -hied
in the last ten years. In Octo
ber 1 !H it, the total school enroll
ment was 1604, while the present
census shows 3G47, The urowth by
years is ns follows: 1911), 160-1;
1920. 1!I21, 2201; 192",
2122; 1023, 2277; 1024. 2651:
Ifl2fl. 2711; 1026. 2047; 1027,
3237; 102S, 3438; 1020. 3647.
() The total school enrollment
for this year (1022) showed an
actual increase of 0 7 pupils over
the year before indicating that the
school census Was not correct.
During the year from October
25, 102K to October 2f. 1020,- 72S
names were 'dropped nnd, 037
names were added. Of these 10 j
were dropped because they h?l
pnwsod the twentieth birthday ai:d
1 7 fi wercndded by reason of hav
Ins come four years of use. The
(treat est shift in population was
In the ward served by the Llncol i
school (between ltenr creek and
the Southern Pacific railroad
tracks). The least shift in pop
ulation was in the Roosevelt vail
oast of P.enr creek.
The number . of non-citizens
among pnrenhn nnd guardians of
children I listed nt 03, which
shown a slight increase over last
year when . the number was Sil.
Of the foreign born who are
beads of families of school, cbil
dren there are twelve dlfferert
nationalities represented, and ap
portioned ns follows: Canadian 23,
Japanese 9. English 6, German 0.
Swedish 3, Scotch 3. Greek 3, Nor
wegian 2 nnd one each of Krench.
P.elginn. Swiss nnd Italian. There
are 2 1 Japanese children between
the ages of four and 20 years.
Private schools enroll 145 of the
children on the Medford census.
The total number in private schools
however. Is somewhat larger than
this figure due to the fact thnt
they include n number of non
resident of the Medford scho-d
district who do not belong on i's
census roll.
Eight children oX school age in
the city are crippled to such nn
extent that they cannot attend
school nnd nre receiving instruc
tion in their homes by two visa
ing teachers, who give each child
one hour or more dally of indi
vidual work.
In connection with the school
census, a census of the children
of ex-service men and women was
taken. The total number of such
children in the district between
birth nnd 20 years of nge is given
as 650, scattered among 363 fan
illes. Of these 225 are less thf.n
four years of nge. This new fea
ture of the school census Is a part
of a state wide plan being fathered
by the American Ieginn. t The
purpose is to make n general
check-up on cx-servlce men's chil
dren to see that the needy rnny
be receiving such care and bene
fits as they may ho( entitled to
receive from the government and
otherwise.

"He does not- believe thnt , nnv

dangers the republic and that a

the favor of cheap martyrdom."
The arrests were made at 2:30"
p. m., when 14 girls and 22 young'
men gathered at the went gate of
the White House grounds carry-
Ing placards ' which bora such
phrases as "Defend - the rioting
masses of Haiti against American

of war." ( ! .. -, , ,
The signs were confiscated with
