IT MAY iiouml fiir-fclclied to declare tlmt bouJ juaimefs lire
iiiipoi'tniil in i(ililiciil success. Nevertheless it is true.
Nearly 40 ye:!s ago Edmund Spencer wrote:
Tim gcntlo niinde by gentle deeds Is knownc;
For a ma u by nothing Is bo well betrayed
As by his manners.
That is as true today as it was in 1375. Life is tthort, but as
Kinei'son remarked, over half a century atio:
"I.lfo is not so short but that tlicro is always 'time enough for
courtesy."
Courtesy is, essentially, consideration for others. In this 'day
of (he super-salesman, and the somewhat ruthless "tio-d'et.lcr,"
courtesy is admittedly at a discount. And yet practical expe
rience demonstrates that in business and in polities, accepted AS
a business; consideration for others is somethins; more than an
aiilitpiated sentiment, is is a princi le, that can't be entirely
abandoned, without loss and sacrifice.
'T'ilE ItnCEXT defeat of Governor Norhlad, and his present
. standing in this state clearly dcmojistniles, we believe, tho
truth of this observation. His complete indifferimee to what we
call "manners," to courtesy and good taste, is responsible for
the fact (hat with everything in his favor, lie failed to secure the
Republican nomination. '
If when d'overnor Patterson died, Mr. Norblad had paid more
attention to the proprieties of the situation, and less to his poli
tical opportunities, there is no doubt he would have entered the
primary with an advantage that none of his rivals could have
overcome.
Hut that io-(iclliiig urge was too strong. His predecessor's
death had scarcely been announced before Mr. Norblad was bus
ily engaged in setting the Stage for his own political debut,
with the consideration due a Coventor of this state, whose eyes
liitd just closed in death, entirely forgotten.
a ' Y luvm i. irniuri i i . p .... ....
y .11 1 i i.j-., iiiiAu, no uouoi, us tar as tne lexicon ot the su-
)er-salcsman is concerned. Hut big enough to offend and
estrange thousands of men and women, not' only Governor Pat
terson's relatives and friends, but those of. the rank and file
who felt Unit capitalizing such a tragedy for political advantage,
was simi'ly one of those things that "are not done."
Then caiiie the primary election, and the unexpected victory
of Mr. Joseph. Another test of good maimers or good sports
manship if one prefers. And as far as Governor Norblad is con
eerned, another failure.
Again a little thing.' And yet in that delay, in the final some
what grudging congratulation, was all the difference between
the good loser and the poor one, a subtle distinction perhaps, but
ono the rank and file so tuiekly detects,
A Nl) NOW (he peremptory dismissal of Judge Sawyer from
(he State Highway commission. In his removal of the East
urn Oregon representative, Governor Norblad was entirely with
m his rights. It was not what he did, but (he WAY it was done
that classifies this uetion as another milestone on tho road to
political oblivion. '
Even if Governor Norblad felt there was ample justification
for discharging Judge Sawyer; in view of the hitter's many
years' service to his state, SO.MK word of appreciation for Unit
service, was certainly in order.' Hut the governor not only failed
to observe this common courtesy, but he even refused to give any
explanation of his action WHATEVER, hiding behind the ex
traordinary alibi that he has "never liked explanations," his
energy ami thought can be used to 'better advantage."

Norblad took office, he is a young man of grea't energy and per
sonal eliarni, with native capabilities far above (he average. And
as we also pointed out his great political opportunity had ar
rived, the only danger was that in his excessive energy his
determination to get there at all coses he would "overplay his
hand."
Tint, in a word, is precisely what he has done. His present
situation merely demonstrates that, in spite of the materialism
of this age, there can, from tho standpoint of high-powered
salesmanship, be "loo much of a good thing."
Jinny think good manners good taste, the principles of or
dinary courtesy, are entirely out of dale, that such things
went out about the time the six-cylinder car come in.
They are mistaken. We live in a fast, hard-boiled, esseii-
dally commercial age. Hut manners still betray the man, and
life is not yet so short but there is time for eourtesv, not only
from (he standpoint of good conduct but also from the stand
point of "good business."

DAILY CROSS-WORD PUZZLE
Evidently you did not read all of
my letter. I do not ask you to diag
nose my case but just to advise me.
(Mrs. A. H.)
Answer But that's beyond the
power of a mere physician. Ma
dam. In order to ffive you the ad
vice you request, I fhould have to
understand what ails you, and I
can't even form an opinion about
that without having examined you.
It would not be fair to you.
Tho Cure of Rupture (Hernia)
Ih there any sure cure fur a
small rupture besides the knife? If,
so what do you recommend? (B.
R. J.) !
Answer So called rupture, her-j
nia or breach is a protrusion or
bulging at some point due to poorl
development or a weakness in the!
muscle wall from injury. An a rule)
the protrusion occurs at some point
that Is congenltally weak. Small
and recent ruptures may be cured
spontaneously within a few months
if properly supported, but sucn
cure is not to be expected when the
rupture has been present a year
or longer. In recent or slight he:
nia, especially when it Is "reduc
ible," that is, readily replaced, sim
ple exercises faithfully carried out
while the weak place Is supported
by your hand, may bring perma
nent cure. Any one with hernia or
rupture of more than a years
standing should undergo surgical
treatment as a matter of safety,
comfort and efficiency.
Have You Flat Feet or Weak
Feet?
I am having a lot of trouble wl'th
my feet and as my work requires
long, long hours on my feet I won

kind of special shoes or nrch
braces for me . . , (Miss D. H.).
Answer Try this test: Stand
barefoot on floor and see If you
can raise yourself up on your toes,
If you can your feet ore not flat,
and braces would be injurious.
Send stamped envelope bearing
your address and ask for Instruc
tions for care of feet and proper
footwear.

Memorial Day ; Do Yon Remember?
There is.no use barrylnu. ono a
leellnss on Memorial day no ue
whatever. For one thing, the clay
is ennobled beyond mere sentiment
and tears, peculiarly so. And for
another, they wouldn't like '
They would not have us mourn for
them. It Is well enough for ti
heart to be stirred at such a tlmfi,
and It Is true that none of us can
rebuke memory fur what she brlnss
but thft heart Bhould be uplifted
also. The- heart should bo upmieu
in nrlde for them and for the priv
ilege, of tribute. Our memoiUa
should be fondly proud.
You can say little enough of bat
tie. bv wav of commendinc its
fierceness and waste. Battles ar?
the saddest of all mistakes that are
enforced by custom and the wil
fulness of men. More clearly thao
ever, in these modern times, w
understand that war in not glorloun
In Itself that there Is nothing of
glory Inherent In the institution of
war. But no whisper .forbids our
sayinff a great deal for those sons
of ours who regarded the nation
as sons should, and who went
away to give themselves, the sum
of their days and of their dreanv,
that the national purpose shouU
be furthered and tho national hon
or upheld. These boys were ae
knightly as any that ever felt the
accolade, for all their lightness ot
speech, and all the casual com
monness of their boyhood. And
you scarce can say enough for
them. . .
The custom began, of course,
with the Grand Army, when its
veterans were yet near to that con
flict which threatened to sunder
a nation. But It is applicable to all
our conflicts, and to every sacri
fice that has been made for Amer
ica this keeping of Memorial day.

MUTT AND JEFF A Giraffe Would Have Won by a Neck
Presumably majority sentiment
forecasts election of George Jo
seph as next republican governor of
Oregon. Yet, as the wise, delibera
tive, experienced political . editor
P.obert W. Ruhl, of tho Mnll-Trlb
uno opines, "much can happen in
the half-year" before election ba.-
lots arc counted. .
In the meantime, per rules of
the game, it behooves Georgo to
realize nis political coat must ex
pose but one color, that which does
not Inflnmo and challenge the still
potent and most powerful of the
stale s commanding leadership.
This Implies that congratulatory
messages to a winner do not con
vey always tho complete story how
ever sugary in its sweetness.
Josoph may not submit a retrac
tion of his notorious- accusations
leading to a referee's disbarmen:,
but both sense and political sagac
ity should, probably will, turn his
eyes toward a confessional of peni
tence. Here In Iowa, taxes, including the
Income assessment principle, make
up the major part of tho guberna
torial issues. In Ottumwa. eighth
city of Iowa, with 28,000 popula
tion, property tax levies wouid
drivo a Medford home-owner tj
stronger drink titan mountain
spring; water. It would mean a rev
olution. Kxamplo: An Ottumwa home,
valued hi $4.00(1, pays an annual
tax ot 11)2.08. Distribution for each
of these tax dollars, fractionally,
to atate, ,0 cents: city, 31 cents;
county. 14 co.nts: schools, 48 cents.
This is a sample of taxation bur
dens In the richest agricultural
atate. productively. In tho Union.
r aimers, too. lament so much
government service and general ox
penslvenoss. Tho federal farm lonn
appraisals In tho county of Cal
houn, for instance, evaluate nt
J100 an acre for Iowa's best, but
the state has assessors put down
J-'OO nn acre under pleas of neces
sity. The "every tenth man" on
public pnyroMs is moro so in this
section perhaps.
How valuable Is Iowa farm liin.l"
- -mJ?nfi'". !"' There are more,
real estate brokers in Medford
than In a half dozen counties here
Farms aro not selling. Yet $200 a l
acre possibly is really not one
fifth,. their,. potential value.
Some believe power farming, to
serve a unit of several farms, with
owners still individualized opera
tors, will result In deep production
cost cuts which with tho thrifty
u. t. employed millions of consum
ers Is bound to put land of Iowa's
best quality Into the thousand-an-
acre level.
Governor Hammlll, in his senn
torial campaign, declares tariff a
paramount issue In some of his an
peals. He says tho pending tariff
mnure win cost Iowa 125 mil
lions a year on corn alone, duo to
aisiavor incurred in foreign mar
kets for American products.
rami relief legislation is not
generally approved as is, but tarn
board organizations are using the
radio, much literature, seeking to
cuuure cooperative mnrketlng na
tionally, and claiming the system
m proving a success with more
than 2 million of the six nnd one
half million United States farmers
nolrtlng contract membership.
A good suggestion to Washington
is a reminder that out in Med-

Some of this talent, triinsnlnnteil

time.
NOW, finally, no cause for m.nr...
henslon that Georgo Joseph will
fail to measure to tho stature of a
