PRESIDENT HOOVER'S UNFORTUNATE HANDICAP ''I
.. :Sin mit:
TT IS unfortunate President Hoover hasn't a more active sense
of humor. Not so unfortunate for the country, perhups, as
for the President. ,
Take liis recent brush with the newspaper boys, for example.
In Rome way the report leaked out throutfh the press that the
President in hurryiriK back from the Kapidan to the White
House "exceeded the speed limit, and also that the President's
wo tell don had nipped at the leu of n U. S. marine.
The President, it seems, was annoyed at these unauthorized
reports and, as secret service men (fot busy, ferreting out the
leak, the newspaper boys were (tiven a severe talking to and .1
rigid censorship was threatened.

PRESIDENT IIOOVKK'S annoyance was natural, for he has
enough troubles without being barraKsed by press corres
pondents snooping about anfl reporting incidents without the
presidential O. K.
Hut it was no time to show his annoyance, and a man with a
sense of humor would have laughed the affair off, and gone
along with more important matters as if nothing bad happened.

tho good sense to conceal his chagrin and admit that the joke

Hut President Hoover appears to have no ability to unbend
at such a time, and maintain a proper sense of proportion. Ah

gruntled, and that apirit of. comraderie and understanding
which should exist between the White House and the press gal

scientious and altogether worthy .characters ever to occupy
the White House. His profound knowledge of Knrope and his
grasp of the intricacies of international finance and economies,
are particularly valuable to his country and the world, at this
tunc.
Had ho a Bense of humor he would be perfect., Ittit this
blind spot ' from which be suffers, it seems to us, not out

llf K ARE not goiK to tell you how to vote nt thin bond elec-
T tion on Wt'dnoHdiiy. We hiny be dumb but we are not as
dumb as that. We are merely Koinjr to ask that you DO VOTK,
that you vote, NOT an Home "know-it-all" male tells you to vote;
but uh you believe, after Heouriip; all the faets, a Rood citizen
with all the welfare of thin eity at heart, SIIOITLD vote.
For the result of h election is Hoing to depend upon you,
and from the nature of tlunps should DKl'KND upon you. For
the essential issue involved is not so inueh a matter of t;oad
uisiness.'as of good housekeeping.
CWAOE disposal is not a pretty topic for conversation, but as
a housekeeper, you appreciate its importance. You know
what a bad sewage Kystein may jjiean in your homo from the
standpoint of elesnliness. s'tlf 'respect' and good health so you
iilso know what it miiy mean ni a city and does mean in Med
ford at the present time. .
Just look at the matter from tiiat standpoint, rogiird the city
problem just as you would regard your own 1IO MM rttOlMiKIU,
for that is not only good sense, but the very best citizenship. :
.
A ND don't accept what someone elso says whether that
"someone" is for or against this bond issue. Find out' the
facts about this eity sewage problem just as you would about
your home Hewago problem, for yourself. ,
liook up the figures at tho eity hall, check up on the six san
itary engineers reports,. compare the costs of the proposed svs-
tern with costs of similar systems, ask your own physician about
the situation, and if you have any doubts about Hear Creek,
take a walk or a drive along it.
rpUATS all we ask. That the women of Medford go into this
matter for TIIRMSKIA'KS,-secure all the information on
both sides for TIIKMSKIjVHS, then go to the polling places
Wednesday and vote for T1IKMSHLVKS, vote not as someone
may tell them to vote, but votp as they want to vote as they
believe it is right to vote, In view of the conditions as they act
ually exist.
fair enough, isn t itf ,For, n we said at tho outset of the
campaign, so we' repeat at the end, the function of a news
paper, as we see it, is not so much to tell tho people how to vote,
as to furnish them with all the information available, so thev
may vote intelligently, vote in their own self-interest.

local public or semi-private health
or tuberculosis organizations have
actively circulated Mr. Htooker'e
narrative, and no doubt It haa
helped ninny a fortunate Invalid
to win his way buck to health.
Well, now Just 10 years later, In
tho June 1931, number of Journal

2C cents a copy, (and worth the'

warrior, Fannie Benson Rogers,
tells her story, and It seems to me
thut Mrs. Rogers has made a bull's
eye. "If I had Only Known in the
Beginning What I Know Now" Is
the title of Mra, Roger's nurratlvo,
and I urge every one who is now
fighting the Imttle, or who contem
plates doing so or who has a friend
relative who Is fighting the
battle to get Mrs. Roger's story
and rend It over and over. If you
do not subscribe to the maguzlne
you can at least buy the June, J 931
number, or If you can't find It and
do not care to send to tho N. T. A.
for It, perhaps the -story will be
separately published In reprint or
pamphlet form for 10 cents a copy.
A lot of people who wrote to ask
me where they could get Mr.
Moctcers story when I recom
mended It, made a sad mistake In
the title. They put some such
tltlo as this on It: "How I Cured
Myself of Tuberculosis In My Own
Home. I get klnda peeved about
that, for Mr. Htoeker carefully ex
plains In his story how foolish it
is for any tuberculosis patient to
attempt to bo his own doctor. Then"
I was further peeved by the red
gunlscutions managed to throw
around the distribution of this
story In pamphlet form, particu
larly by the habit some of them
had of sending their Nosy "Parkers
or "oeiu service" snoopers or
somebody to the homes of some
of our readers who, at my sugges- j
tion, sent the nickel or dime to
their locul tuberculosis society for
the pamphlet. Because of this un
pleasant activity of the tubercu
losis organizations I , was finally
constrained to cease recommend
ing the pamphlet.
Now. 1 feel that In recommend
ing Mrs. Roger's story I am doing
good fur all who follow the sug
gestion and read it. But at the
same time I warn our readers I
can't guarantee the purchase of
such pamphlet-will not bring some
prying "investigator"., around to
see whether you are getting
'adequate care" or something.
There la .the story. If you want
It without any strings, sink two ;
bits in the June number, and no
body wilt know just which of the
many Interesting things In tho mug
you wish to see. '

Tho Bat Leaves
(fly Mury Ornluun Bonner)
John and Peggy wondered how
the Little Hlack Clock would sug
gest that the bat leave the brlght-
1 y lighted
room. All he
did was to turn
out the light.
They -sat
there In the
dark, and then
the Uttle Hlack
Clock spoke:

In a few moments we'll turn

'That was whv 1 wnnte.l to

the bat any more thnn he was
already frightened by being In

Peggy and John were glad to
know this and they tried It many
times afterward and found that
It always worked.
"Maybe you'd like to Visit some

gested.
"I'd like It. I've never been

Peggy. "Are we going lo some

' TONY'S DISCOVERY'
THE lndolebt summer air stole
A with, so little energy through

The young housewife, dressed tn

Inlng room because it was cooler
here. The open door Into the

ier Irons to the stove. As she worked
ill a was thinking of Pierre ot

For nearly two years, now, Pierre

take your hat."
i.As the old actor seated himself,
he gave her his hat. but clung to
the manuscript almost as It fright

don't mind.'"
She smiled 'at bis agitation and
said gaily, "I'll, bet It's a good by

about, .the theater,, or plays, or ac

her In sudden agitation almost

it?" '" ' ' '-
'About what. Father Tony!"
'Why why. about this, Ann," he
held up the manuscript, watching
ber face with anxious eagerness.
"No, Father Tony, Pierre hasn't
said anything to me what Is It?"
The old actor was disturbed by
this and answered hurriedly, "Oh,
it's nothing, Annnothing at all."
Handling the manuscript he made
as it to speak about it, hesitated
then asked anxiously: "You are
sure that Pierre hasn't changed his
mind about going away to school?"
I should say not Pierre wouldn't
change his mind about that!"

Ann inspected a suit of underwear

I'm Ironing these last few thlnirs

I wonder who will sew his buttons

It will seem strange with Pierre

the tears In her eyes.
You have been very good to

To the Editor:
in regard to trouble between ii
sheep and cattle men In JaekJ
county, I would like to exolaln
facta as they are, for I have tJ
in a position to know for the pJ
len years , just what the situit:
was, from beln." interested In
large amount of land In the wui
part of Jackson county, and
pecinlly In that part of the com
where this is taking place I ha
cruised ond been over this to
mnny times, much of which leld.
stock range. . ,
There is plenty of feed and plJ
ty of range there for all stock ol
eu in tnnt part bf Jackson conn;
but over In Jcnllfornla. south
there, Ihii 'hav more cAttln'i
shep than thoy have grnzinc f,
so iney anve some 2,000 head
cattle from California into Ji
son county to graze free on JacJ
son county land, owned by Oi
gonfans.
For more than ten years I hi
owned 1,000 acres there of the b--grazlng
lands, with many niounti
springs, and have had charee
o.ooo acres more of non-reildd
land. These California cattle hi'
swarmed over these lands
summer, to be driven back to Ca
rornla in the fall after fatten:
on Oregon grass.
They have never, in all that tin
offered or attempted to lease
ouy an acre, or pay a cent for 11
same. These are the men H
are causing the Dresent troub
1 hey never nnv n rent nf tin
in Oregon, -but come here to til
advantage of our liberal cm:
laws.
The present trouble n oantJ
by the Phelps brothers, nntlv
Jackson county, going up in tti
District and buying 1,000 acreia:
leasing 4,000 acres more, to mi
Sheep ranch and a home, in

warned to keep out of that distr

they settled In Oregon where I
i.niirornlans run their cattle i-
where they neither own or k-
foot of ground.
Since the Phelps brothers hid
moved nnd settled In Jacks
county, the California cattknH
have leased .a few acres adjoin:'!
mem and between their land v
mqir leased land, to trap corn
their sheep on, and have also pa
ea .No Trespass" notices on '
ot tne l.-Ols that Phelps h
lease for. - ' !-
The final result of (his troui
brought on by parties outside
the state win be that Jaekf
county will have to make u 1
tho Oregon law the same nn H'
hnuer county In eastern Orel '
and ban all stock driven from oil'

this is done, there will be pW
