Tho defense of the Methodist Ttlahop accused of hornswuggling 117,000 from a $06,000 campaign fund, will be that If he had been dishonest, he would have taken It all, for his Wall street gambling, which In itself Is not regarded by tho orchard ruif of sinners ns a very churchly trick, even If the winnings were to.be used to defeat Al Smith.

He paid for everything when he bought It, minded his own business, and was not Inquisitive about the affairs of others. He never gossiped, and always did his duty as he saw It. Consequently a good many people suspected him of playing a smooth ganio of some sort, and the rest regarded him as n slow-going old fogy with no great amount of sense, and to prove it called him "Uncle Johnny" during the lust thirty-five or forty years of his life. (Kmporla, Kan., Gaicttc.) THEY DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT IT WE note hy the esteemed I'oujand Spectator t)9it f!eore Joseph, wealthy attorney for Meier & Frank of Portland, is going to carry Jackson County in the Kcpublicfin primary. . This will bo interesting news to the people of this section. It has been generally supposed that the contest hereabouts was between C'orbett and Norblad, with Hall a possible runner-up, and the aforesaid Joseph a certain "also ran." Hut the Spectator has received reports from every county in the state and this is the official prognosis from the Rogue River valley ! Jt71'' also note by the usually reliable Associated Press that the campaign in Jackson County is becoming torrid. All we can say is that if the present campaign is torrftl, then the North Pole would make an excellent central heating plant. Out side of the court house controversy, we fail to find any sign of warmth, much less heat, regarding the candidates whose fates will be decided on Friday next. ASA matter of fact, all these predictions are not only guesses but extremely bad guesses. There never has been a state primary more difficult to dope than the present one. The plain truth is that this election is going to be decided by those people who have said nothing and will say nothing. Moreover, we have a decided hunch that a large proportion of these silent 'oters haven't made up their minds for whom they will vote, and won't make them up, much before Thursday evening. ' NLY the seers, who can read the minds of inarticulate men and women, have any right to pose as prophets in this elec tion. No one can KNOW how the people are going to vote, for the simple fact that a majority of the people don't know them selves. There never has been an election where last minute develop ments were of such outstanding importance. The winner will almost certainly be determined not by what has happened, but what, between now and Friday, MAY happen. The only wise prophet this year is the prophet who says nothing, waits until the votes have been counted, then, nods his head, looks wise and remarks, "I told you so!" LEST YOU FOEOET ANE important feature of the court house election should no! he overlooked. The selection of the court house sit c is not the only thing to be decided. Although the removal of the county seat to Med ford has been voted upon as well as the donation of a site to the county hy the city of Medford, contrary to a very general impression, the matter of building a court house has not been decided. , Therefore, regardless of how you stand regarding sites, don't fiiil to mark tho ballot H00 ''Yes" "I vote for the construction of a new court house." And don't forget that this vote does not mean a bond issue for the county, or a penny increase in taxes. It simply means giving the county authority to build a new court house with money which it has on hand and which, under the law, can be used for no other purpose. If you were going to hire a man to handle your private busi r.css, wouldn't you look up his record, and test his character, before you decided! Why not do the same regarding the can didate you select to handle the business of your state? Speaking of tho census, the count in Jackson County is still ifoing on. 1 you live in the country and haven't been counted, please inform the Chamber of Commerce.

William Brady In cart of The Mall Tribune, AFTER IS SAID AND DONE THKY The tonsil problem Is far from Bottled yet. Even within the ranks of tho regular medical profesfllon, if you know what I mean may ho I'd better explain for the benefit of the dumb egH that regular doc tors are the kind your country calls on to take care of her fighting men, and the kind you turn to when you've finished fouling around with the fad and cult rackets and find yourself seriously ill even among the regulars there are several schools of theory and practice In dealing with the tonsils. Outside, among the Irregular practitioners, the various 'pathlsts plying their trade either within tho law or with, out, the differences of opinion about the tonsil problem are nat urally more radical. At one. extreme are th. little tin doctors and the born operators who Infest free clinics and dispensaries. They require only presumptive evi dence that there Is round cell, or lymphoid tissue present In the throat; If the victim has had no trouble from the tonsils and ade noids, so much the better, the operation will probably prevent a lot of trouble. Removal of tonsils and adenoids (if any) on a whole sale scale, where material Is plen tiful, Is the favorite method of the born specialists and the little tin doctors, and we owe this excres cence to socialistic state medicine. When that socialistic scheme Is adopted by government, the invar iable policy Is to employ' the cheapest available nurses and doc tors to do the work. Then there is a large class, prob ably still tho majority of good physicians and specialists who ad vise removal of tonsils or. adenoids only when there are evidently in jurious effects present, either from mechanical obstruction or from infection, but owing to perfectly sound professional conservatism and a certain Intolerance, these good doctors obstinately Insist that surgical tonsillectomy is the one and only remedy, and if for any reason trrn patient cannot or will not submit to operation, these ill equipped doctors dismiss the pat lent without benefit of Medicine. Then there Is a third class, small In numbers cut close to the throne, having the entree to some of the most Influential medical journals and medical society programs, and these put the old conservatism on tho shelf and choke down the pl Intolerance long enough to ack nowledge or even ndvocato tho value of X-ray treatment In lhu of surgory in cases where surglca.1 tonsillectomy Is "contra-Indicated.' X-ray treatment Is unquestion ably a valuable recourse in such cases, though there is a certain haz ard Involved a' hazard mainly due to the person! factor, carelessness, lack of technical skill and such accidents or untoward effects as burns, baldness, sterility, ntrophy of ductless glands need occur but rare ly to make many good doctors hes itate to recommend the treatment. One thing Is undehatable: X-ray treatment of tonsils Is not so safe as diathermy, even If the men around the throne still insist dia thermy Is Vno good." At the other extreme I find dlverH Illicit health specialists screaming that neither surgery, diathermy, X-ray nor radium Is necessary, for fresh air, proper diet, sunshine and a few secret P&sses by the health specialist will turn the trick. We'll look further Into tho trick anothor day. Ql'ICSTIONS AND ANSWKIIS Tlio State Ah a 25 font Doctor Mother writes her boy brings home- note from teacher Informing her state health department em ployee will be nt school such and such days to immunize children ngalnst dlptherla nt 25 cents inn child. Mother understands family doctor charges $7.50 for It. Ques tion: Should she take of the sluto and snvo $7,25 ? Answer. As a rulo the state fur nishes such things as antitoxin, vaccine or toxin -antitoxin free of charge to all citizens. If I were In practice In tho community con cerned I'd lay In a stock of free state toxln-nntitoxln and send not ices to all parents unable to pay regulnr medical fees that I waa pre pared to lmmunlzo children on the days the state department agent a arc Yorit tonsils. made the town, nt say 22 cents per child.

No Cream In Her Corfee My sweetie has some trouble with her complexion, blotches, not pimples but sore lumps under the skin, and she Is afraid to eat any thing rich or even take cream In her coffee, because some bunk speclallst told her such food was bad for her. Now he Is under weight and I think she needs more nourishing food. Why shoud that which Is nourishing cause such a rash? (U H.) Answer. That's just what I should like to know, Larry. I do not believe It does but some of these, psychopaths harbor the no tion that It does, so what's a poor girl with pimples going to do? The idea that fats, greasy articles, rich things, break out through the skin, came down to the present genera tion from the almanac quacks of the dim past, if the girl friend will writ and ask for It, inclosing a stamped envelope bearing her address, I shall be glad to send her some advice that may help her to get a nice clear complex Ion and a few more curves In the bargain. Give a Olrl a Hoso to IUde Is horseback riding Injuries to the health of a girl 18 years of age, especially if there la any local weakness? (K. L.) Answer. On the contrary It Is fine for all girls and women. Un less the girls' own physician for bids it, sho ought to ride. How Aiie Your Corns? Your corn cure is a' dandy . , . (C. I. W.) Answer.

A city of the fourth class is one that has everything a civilized community needs-except a few good pitchers. How decent people are shocked when criminals are burned without the use of a chair.

When a child is cold and nun pry and sic k for lack of medical attention, a dog Isn't half much comfort as one of our dally papers " would have us believe. Surely they would appreciate food, clothing and medical attention more. It seems as though if any one In the community is a big enough stick they can get anything they want, whether it ly needed or not. Pretty hard words, some of this, but it's true, ' nevertheless. There Is too much of this sort of thing passed by the good citizens while they have their mind centered on some piore important issue. n. J. SIXOLHU. Medford, May 12. Prefers Children to J)ogs.
