RADICAL WETS better not plnee too much relliirtc oh the (Jc
.iuinn nf Federal .Tudirn "William' Cliirk of New Jersey rul
ing the ndoption of the 18th amendment invalid.
It is about n ten-to-onc bet, that if the decision ever comes be
fore the Supreme iCourt, it will be quickly and unanimously re
versed. . - ? , . i
For if the 18th amendment is invalid because it wus ratified
by state legislatures instead of state conventions, then the
amendment, abolishing slavery is also invalid, for it, too, was le
galized by legislative action.
Moreover, the Supreme Court on mteh questions; always has
ruled on a liberal, rather than n strict, interpretation of the law,
the will ofhe people being held paramount, and legal techni
calities being disregarded.
QO TIIK Wet partisan will
asm, and keep their powder
against the 18th amendment is stronger today than it has ever
been, before, is undoubtedly true. That Dry fanaticism is mort
generally frowned upon than ever before, is also true.
But public sentiment against Prohibition is one, thing, secur
ing any radical change in the fundamental law concerning it, is
quite another. '
Nevertheless, as we see it, a radical change in the fundamen
tal law, cither through the repeal of the 18th amendment, or
modification of the Volstead act, is from an anti-l'rohibilion
standpoint, tho only hope. ... '
So our advice to those who regard Prohibition as a crime, is
not to waste their time or energies over this New Jersey decision,
but to concentrate upon securing a national referendum on the
question, and if this referendum is favorable which we believe
it would be then proceed from there; to secure modification or
repoal. i ... .
N FACT, from u wet standpoint we rcgai'd this decision by
I
Judge Chirk as very poor
Prohibition in its strongest instead of its 'weakest quarter, and
renders another legal victory for the Drys as certain as any
thing in this uncertain world can be.
! Far better to abandon M- efforts to throw out tho 18th
amendment on some legal technicality, admit its validity, but
attack it, aw Senator Morrow of New Jersey has attacked it, as
UNDKHIKAMaK l-KfilSliATION, AVUICII HAS PONK MORH
11AH.M TO THIS COU.NTOY,: MORALLY AND KCONOMI
OALLY, TILN GOOD.' ' . ,
! For on that ground, nnd thoLgrdimd alone, con any eonstrnc
ive progress ho 'made. ' If prohibition has1 done this country
more good! than harm; then it is going to remain and should
remniii' ft part of-the 'fundamental law; if it hasn't, then it is
not going to so remain, rand should not so remain but ulti
mately should be' abandoned. ' ' ; 1
TI'lEUB is the issue, hi this Prohibition 'husiness. ,The sooner
this fact is fealized, nml political tactics on both sides of the
controversy are made to conform to it, the better for the cause
oflhie temperance, the better for eonstruetivc development ''I'
this count rjvnnd the better.for the welfare of the people.
AMEND OREGON'S DRY LAW
..... i . t-.-.'t,
i T THE present moinent, wo
in the Prohibition situation
try at large. .
'jm believe most strongly
should bp made to conform .with the fundamental law of this
.country, and not he allowed to continue in violation of it.
I v- As everyone knows, tho Volstead Act allows the use of wines
nnd liquors whenever, in the opinion of a reputable physician,
wines and liquors arc needed. Everyone also knows that here
in Medford, lives of man and women have been saved by the vio
lation of this stato law, and lives of men and women have been
lost, by either n refusal to violate the law, or inability to secure
siwh stimiilonts, at a critical moment. :
SUCH A .SITUATION RIXLWU) AS AN Ol'TUAOE, a vio
lation of overy prinviplo of ordinary humanity and common
sense. It is not only morally but legally indefensible, for it not
only fails to conform with the. Constitution of this country, but
is not even consistent with other laws in this state regulating the
practice of medicine. . .
For under our stole laws a physician can administer the most
deadly and habit-forming drug in the pharmacopoeia, without
restraint, but the moment he tries to give a patient a drink of
liquor, containing alcohol over,one-hiilf of one per cent, he be
comes a felon and ait outlaw.
It is incredible to us that a majority or the people of this
stato can approve of such a statute. We don't believe they do.
And further we believe that the time has ,eoine to take definite
action, secure an amendment to the Oregon Pry Ijiws, which
will place thorn in harmony with the Volstead Act and in har
mony with every principle of what is right, decent and humane.

(the country doctor) removed It
in four treatments. , After each
treatment I went home apd ate a
good' dinner.- Next day the' throat
was quite sore, but I never miescd
a meal. My doctor here was skep
tical, but he admit now that the
tonsil is gone and -the throat as
clean as can be."
Another lucky patient writes:
"On your kind recommenda
tion I called on Dr. (a
city man who is a master of
the method) In reference, to
hnvlng diathermy treatment
for arthritis ... 1 am 60 years
old, nnd he took out my ton
' slls. which were four time the
' normal size and ulcerated, by
the diathermy method without
any pain, loss of time from
work or interference with reg
ular meals. I saw persons'
older than myself having the
treatment. Tteforo the doctor
removed my tonsils my blood
' pressure was 2"-inr and now
'the pressure is down to 158
sr . . ."
It Is gradually becoming known.
even to laymen, that high blood
pressure is not a condition suscep
tible of treatment without partlcu
lnr concern about Its cause. It is
well recognized hy physicians that
a ncKleetcd septic focus may pro
duco high blood pressure. Unfor
tunatetyyt high blood pressure ren
ders a major operation vr a K"11'

It happens that a good many juch
patients are denied proper med

of cert ii In niediral Journal editors
and narrow gauge specialists. .
Perhaps the greatest value of
the diathermy method is in pre
vlely such case where the pati
ent harbors a septic focus In a
tonsil, but Is a poor rUk for sur

H'Jiy Alice dud son Pealo
The ambition to earn money
which .rmany-children have is a;
praiseworthy . one. L -', ' ..-.!
Thfl habit . of ,. lotting, children!
take . some part Un household
chores is sound from. the point of:
view of character building. But j
both these, things . jiiay bo parried
too'far. ' ' , ",!
Schoolboys often work . after-'(
noons and evenings delivering
packages; others carry newspaper
routes. Girls sometimes take care,
of babies throughout long after
noons and evenings.
Country children are required to
do such things as cut wood and
carry water. Frequently little girls
nre detailed to help mother with
the regular housework as soon as
they get home from school. .
' Whether such work is good tor
the child depends in the first place
upon his health - and physical
fitness for the tasks undertaken:
nnd secondly, upon the child's pwn
feeling toward them.
i tt is questionable whether ,nny
school child ought to be permitted
to undertake n strenuous job. Cer
tainly he should not be allowed to
do so unless the findings of a care
ful medical examination ascertain
jiis ability to carry his work with
out physical Injury. . i
Aside from the health factor,
the heavy household chores and
nursemaid duties so frequently re
quired of older children are not
wholesome unless the child him
self doing them, derives from
their performance a sense of ac
complishment and increased seir
esteem. Tarents often forget that the fic-
tivltles of the typical school are
certainly work for the average
child. He has the right, to spend
his afternoons ns, he pleases; and
It is much the best if he pleases
to spend them in vigorous outdoor
Play. .

with the Redwood committeemen.
Anyone who doetm't appreciate
this, may look at tho Tiller-Trail
road situation and get loon
for
thought.
The TlUer-Trall road
district
now has secured $35,000 federal
monev and S35.D00 county and
dlstrfrt i money to complete the
mn!l iiortlon missing from the
road -which will link ltosehurg
nnd Medford directly through Can
vorivflie. Tiller, and Trail.
' That will be an alternate route
for the Pacific Highway through
mountainous districts, which will
detour travel from the present,
Pacific highway through this pop
ulous district. It might hinder
tho highway straightening project
between here and Medford, for
which we notice grade stakes al
ready are In place.
This ihrent to our tourist bus!
