EVIDENCE grows stronger every day flmt tlie demand of the
railroads for a 15 per cent increase, is a bluff.
In the meeting at Washington, the chief spokesman for the
railroads declares this increase in to apply only to freight, and
then avers that, if it isn't granted, the railroads will have to
cut wages.
With the cost of everything going down, it is not reasonable
to believe the railroad executives seriously believe, the cost of
transportation can be, put up.
What they really fear is a reduction of rates, and what they
really want is a reduction in labor costs. So they have taken a
leaf from Marshal Foch's book of strategy that the best defense
is an aggressive offense.
'-,
. OTHER words, there is every reason to believe this demand
for a raise in rates is merely a trailing point. They don't ex
pect to get it, but in asking for it, they do expect to prevent any
rate reduction, and secure a cut in wages.'
We believe this strategy will be perfectly plain in a short
time. The railroads, unless we are greatly mistaken, will finally
offer some such compromise as this :
"We will abandon our Just claim for higher rates, If the com
mission will sustain the rates now in force, and grant ub the
right to lower wages." '
Therd is more than one way to skin a eat. If the railroads
can retain the rates of a prosperous period, and enjoy the labor
costs of a depression, they will have won an outstanding vie-,
tory.' ', i . ."" '.

Issue, dtio to the alleged fact . that

to the common run of Ignoramuses
that this wa a matter that rested
entirely with the fish. If they
wanted to swim up the river, they
would swim up the river, as they
are .fair swlmmera. It aeems that
a fish ought to know where he

A KI.U'K OF I, IKK
Anyway, Saturday morning,
while the Lady of the House was
digging still another hole In the
front yard to plant still another
boxbtscum, or whatever you call
them things, a couple of dogs
chased the rabbit out of the bosky
doll In front of our Ilytantlno Igloo
and up across the road Into the
yard.
The little scamp was stepping
about nine feet at a lick, ami
wasn't any too Instantaneous at'
that, ax the dogs were only a few
feet behind him, and In full cry,
too. as we big-game hunters say.
When he saw the Lady of the
House he peurtencd up a hit, and
made for her so fust he looked like
little gray streak and he turned
turtle a few feet In front of her
when he put on brakes to stop.
When he righted himself he duck
ed under a bush, and left the situ
ation up to the Lady of the House,
who promptly clogged the sur
rounding atmosphere with rakes,
and hoes, and spades, and rocks,
and also with peremptory demands
to the dogs to go away,' air! and
to atop It, air! and to shoo! and
to get out of here, air!
The dogs were so taken by sur
prise at the cloudburst of garden
tools and.rocka and oratory they
kidded to a stop and turn and
ran. Hhe didn't hit either of them,
but came near beanlng your his
torian, who was sitting on the
porch fifteen feet behind her, and
who up to that point hadn't opened
bla toauth.t Macon, Oa., Telegraph)
'T'lIEHK is one feature of the campaign just closed, which we
deplore; and we bcliove fair-minded people of ifedford dc
plore. That is'the mud slinging, and particularly the personali
ties and innuendoes that were indulged in.
We don't care on-which side of a question a man may be, or
what official position he may, or may not, hold, that sense of
fair play and justice, so dear to tho heart of the American peo
ple, should be strong enough in every community, to protect
him from attacks upon his private character, UNSUPPORTED
BY TITE srilflirrEST EVIDENCE.
Anyone with suspicions of the honesty or integrity of some
one else, should present evidence supporting such suspicions, in
tho regular way, or forever after hold his peace.
No man in public, or private, life is entitled to special fa
vors; it is proper to subject the official or unofficial acts of
every man to tho closest scrutiny; but EVERY MAN is entitled
to fair play, an opportunity to defend himself against charges
which are made against him. v
'
DUT the sort of character assassination so popular in certain
" quarters gives (he victim no chance to make a defense, for
the charges are invariably insinuations rather than direct in
dictments; innuendoes calculated to arouse popular suspicion
and distrust, rather than dufinito accusations, which can bo met
in the open and either 'Shown to bo false, or admitted to bo true.
Shakcspearo said many truo things, but nothing truer than
tho following from the third act of Othello:
"Good name In man and woman, dear my Lord,
' Is the Immodlata Jewel of their souls; ,
Who steals my purse steals trash; It's something, nothing
. t'Twns mine, it Is hit, and him boon bIbvo to liouaandB;
llrit ho that filches from me my good nnmo ' . " :
Itnua mo of that which not enriches him mid makes mo
poor Indoed." '
It's really a silly business theso insinuations of graft and
corruption every time there is an election in thin city. Everyone
krtows it is hooey, even those who pass it around. Hut it ap
pears to bo the confirmed conviction in certain quarters that
this sort of thing is good politics. ...
That's just whero wo diffor with the mud slinging cult. Wc
don't be lieve it IS good polities. We don't believe au election
has ever been wn by unjustly assailing the characters and im
pugning the tnotives of Medford citizens, and we don't believe
an election ever will be.
There is a certain small minority in Medford, as thero is in
every city, that is always willing to believo tho worst of their
fellow men. Hut this group votes "ag'in the government," no
matter what the issuo involved.
A VAST majority of the people of this city arc fair minded,
ami demand fair play. This eternal scandal-sniping and
character-assassination disgusts them. If they have any doubts
about the honesty or integrity of any office holder or candidate,
they don't whisper about it, or hint at it they go after the sus
pect in tho regular way, ami either disprove their suspicions or
prove them. t
That's what nil good vitiens should do. Ami, regardless of
the moral principle involved, that is what all GOOD l'OIJTI
CIANS SHOULD DO.
For we maintain (in Medford at least) that this mud-slinging
business DOESN'T PAY not only hurts tho town, but hurts
those who do it that when those who believe otherwisu do win,
they win not because of mud slinging but IN SPITE of it.
So we hope that when another city eloction eoiues around,
wo can be spared the barrage of dirt, that to express it mildly
has 'become such a public nuisance. Let's fight hard let's
differ as vigorously as the issues justify but let's KUiUT

RECOVERING THE JEWELS
By Mary Graham Bonner
"Years ago." aaid the Utile Illark
Clock, "a lady came hy coach to
the head of the lake and look the
steamer for the
village at this
ertd.
"She brought
all her belong-
lugs with her
her carpet bags,
her trunks and
her Jewels. Bee!
I've turned the
time back a lit
tie further."
Now John and
Peggy saw an
old- fashioned
boat landing at
the dock. They had seen pictures
of It In their (alher'a library, and
tho people on tho boat woro funny
oltl(nahlonod clothes.
I'nggy wanted to laugh, but that
would not be polite. And, too. the
clothes wore really not old-fashioned,
but quite flno and very much
in tne latest style.
At one ens or the boat an old
man played a guitar and sang, but
suddenly a lady railed out. "I've
dropped my package of Jewels Into
tne water! Oh, what will 1 do?"
The children knew what would
be done because now they remem
bered tho story perfectly as tholr
mother had told It to them.
Now tho diver arrived, and dove
Into the water. He did not (Ind
the Jewels the first, second or third
time, but the fourth time he came
up with them.
And then It happened Just as the
children remembered the story.
The lady opened her rase and
gave the diver a large rln,i, and
then picked out a small ring for
the diver's little girl, and little
gifts for every one.
The old man now began tilavlnt
the guitar again and the people
danced old fashioned dances, but
the clock was hurrying the chil
dren away.
"I want to turn the time ahead
so you can see another diver," he
aid.

MASTOI
In most cases of "gathering in
the ear" in which the' drum rup
tures, permitting discharge of mat
ter from the cav
ity within, or Is
lanced for that
purpose by the
dodtor, there is
more or less in
flammatlon of the
spaces Inside the
mastoid bone back
of the outer ear
canal, and this In
flamniation 1b
called mastoiditis,
So If tho doctor
begins to mutter
something about mastoiditis when
one of the children has acute In
flammation in the ear (otitis me
dia, as It is called), don't get ex
cited. Just keep the cotton and
stuff out of the child's ear, unless
the doctor insists on obstructing
ventilation and drainage that way,
In a season when thore' Isn't much
other work for him to do. M!nd,
I'm not advising you to neglect
using any drops or other medicine
the doctor prescribes; I merely
offer the hint that cotton never
did anything but harm in the
presence t of infection In the ear.
If your doctor says I'm crazy,
all right It's your funeral,
Heat applied In or around the
ear Is an excellent remedy for
any acute earache ' where inflam
mation Is presumably the cause.
Glycerin and other medicines
dropped in the ear canal or ap
plied to the drum by means of
very' thin twisted cotton or gauze
wick, will often do good. But
DITIS.
don't try to help the famine in the
BOUth by stuffing bales of cotton
in Inflamed ears.
I still believe, though I may be
the only doctor In North America
who so believes, that a hot mustard
foot bath is the best of all first
aid remedies for. acute earache
and if 'our Arkansas render hap
pens to Bee this he will kindly re
frain from asking me If a hot
mustard car bath wouldn't be a
relief for his toe ache. I don't
want to go into a discussion of
the length of the man's ears again.
It cost me a' fine customer last
time. It Is odd. but I never could
keep the wholesale grocers my
friends. They're almost as techy
as customers, I find, as the dealers
in bath fitments..
You see. the inflammation easily
spreads from the lining of the ear
cavity within the drum to the
lining of the air spaces in the
mastoid bone tho mastoid process
of the tempornl bone, which y"'i
can feel as a hard rounded knob
right behind your car, If you
can reach that far without getting
dizzy. These air spaces are In
direct communication with the air
space of the ear cavity, and that,
In turn communicates with the
Eustachian tube and ' that with
the nose and throat passage. So
there you have it, all complete.
At ffrst It's just, a little crl some
friend hands you gratis and under
the approval of the health au
thorities. Most cases of mastoiditis pro
gress uneventfully to complete re
covery If not maltreated.
You enn't Judge the severity
of" mastoiditis by tho tenderness
of the mastoid process to touch,
nor by the swelling, for very
grave mastoid .Infection may. be
.present without cither sign, and
without any pain behind the ear.
Any acute earache followed by
a very profuse ear discharge rather
Indicates mastoiditis. A discharge
which pulsates la certainly from
mastoiditis.
QUESTIONS ANp ANSWERS
I Dure Not Tell.
It Is strange how readers see
more In a column like this than
I say. Years of experience has
taught me to think twice before
I allude to any treatment or rem'
edy which seems at all likely to
help anything or anybody. Even
if I do tell all I have to tell about
It here, and add a special reminder
that I have no further Informa
tlon to give about it, invariably
there follows a long line of long
winded letters from careless read
ers who plead for further particu
lars about my cure. Were It not
for this deterrent one might ven
ture to give readers many more
practical suggestions. As it is I
dare not tell.
When Wens AViine.
My sister has a wen as big as a
hen's egg on her leg, and two
small ones on her scalp. A doctor
told her to tls a white thread
around the wen close to the skin
or scalp and It would dry up and
drop off In two or three weeks,
depending on how tightly rile tied
the thread and the size of the
wen. She did this and got rid of
her three wens with no cost and
no pain. Mrs. P. C. McN.
Answer Won Is a cyst or sac
formation of a sebaceous or oil
gland, most commonly on the
scalp, but often on other parts of
the skin. The sebum or skin oil
accumulates In the sac or bag In
the form of thick cheesy or semi
fluid matter. It Is annoying and
unsightly but not dangerous, un
less It becomes Inflamed or in
fected and supperates. Usually
the only remedy Is removal of the
entire jsac by incision i.i
offj,.,
liical anesthesia. tvulinL-
wound over! Immediately Mi
lng tho patient on his way ,'
but hnndsomer. This muhol,'
McN. describes may work all
In some cases, but would acr
do where the wen has a
base. Personally I'd prei
have mine neatly excised.
