He telle of a time when he told the attomey-eeiioral ono Harry M. Daugharty "you know nothing about the law," Mr. Oaugh erty waa enmeshed, and still Is, for that matter, In scandalous dolnge around the White House. Mr. Pall's appraisal of Mr. Daughertyli legal talents, falls to hold water, whon one considers tha Mr. Dauft'iorty Is occupying a luxurious apartment, and Mr. Fall a dingy cell. ' "Maw" Kennedy's man, the Rv. Hudson, Is now revealed as an alleged bigamist, a wife deserter, a - lady swindler, awl an all-round romantic figure with the Older Girls. He waa an evangelist, and no doubt at the start of tha second wec ..of the revival, delivered a sensational, ser mon on high .school morals, ,i , ; The sacred fish of Rogue river, are being "disturbed" again, causing poignant .grief among the. piscatorial enthusiasts.' It Is alleged that elec tricity escapes from tha power house and tingles the dorsal fin of tito finny .tribe. There Is also the claim that the fish are liable to be electro cuted .without due process .oli law. This Is the leading horror since the Turks, massuoriMl , the Armenians, be fore the Armenians could massacre the Turks, It Is hoped the defenders of the fish, will tell Julius and get out a writ of tecum duces capias, to close down til. power house, and halt the atrocity. : A SIGHT TO 11K1IOI.I) (Cawker City Ledger) Tho new superintendent, Miss Bernlce Qreen, took charge of the' Sunday school lost Sunday, In a very efficient manner, Miss Louise Remus sang a beautiful solo beautifully, and all wore pleased.

THE PENDLETON EAST OHEiiONiAN takes President Hoover to task for trying to tniike political capital out of Iiin moratorium proposal. ' ! Such action, maintains the Democratic newspaper, reflects upon his (food judgment, lio'th as a president and as a politician. But President Hoover has done nothing of the sort. In fact, if the East Oregonian will peruse the last issue of Time, it will find that President Hoover not'onl' refused to claim any parti san credit for this action, but went' out of his way to rebuke those who were trying to do .thin for him, Tho President is having trouble .enough, without, being ac cused of something 'he bus sciiipidously 'refused to do. i." ",,," ' ' '"! IN FACT, considering the importance of the moratorium pro- pbsal, and the favorable et'fest it b'nd on' national and inter national conditions, even the partisan Tl,e-'ubliciin press and the National Republican committee liave beeii surprisingly conserv ative in their political reaction 5 ! .. ,, , Heaven knows there has been little enough for the Republic ans to rejoice over these many months. ..A,' .little pointing with pride might, under the circumstances, have been accepted by the Democratic press, without complaint. Hut our valued contemporary asross the mountains, appar ently couldn't bear to think of the opposition being allowed even this tiny crumb of comfort. Not very sporting, neighbor. It seems to us that this year, above all others, the, Democrats could afford to be magnanimous". CAN'T BE DONE "PHE OREffONIAN finds a moral in the recent sewer bond election in Ibis city, and we believe its interpretation of the result is approximately correct. ... The election was an important one, tho need of correcting an intolerable situation was generally conceded. A bond issue with more talking points in its favor, and more evidence on the affirmative side, lias perhaps never before been presented.. But, as the Oregonian says, to oil arguments "the voters turned a deaf ear. What they were interested, in primarily wiis to see that taxes were kept down. It was a very striking dem onstration by a very progressive city, in the art of holding taxes down." . . ' Quito true. And the Oregonian continues: In nearly every case wherein a special tax levy or a bond Issue Is proposed for a local project thore are sound arguments of desirability and expediency to be brought in Its favor. Almost no project for pub lic Improvement Is wholly without merit. But In times such as these or, Indeed, In any times sound public policy dictates the casting of a balance between tho merits of the project and the question as to whether the subdivision can afford to spend the money. That Is what Medford seems to haye dono; ' It Is an example worth regarding. Incidentally, the result emphasizes the truth of the state ment in this column that tho only way to reduce tuxes is to reduce them. t Special sessions f, the legislature aiid new laws pan do little good.- 'Tlio mwaeifc'wr. failure of such nn effort de pends entirely upon, the jtoYee'oS public opinion. .

SENATOR COUZENS SENATOR JAMES COUJ5EN& who passed through Medford yesterday, is that rare .combination Ncldoin found in public life, a natural born fighter .witlua scrupulously fair mind. Tiiero aro , plenty., of fighters who iirc.jiot fair; and plenty of fair men who ura pot fighters, but "Jim" Couzeiis is both. A recent incident illustrates what we mean. When Charles E. Hughes was nominated for tho. Supreme bench, the senator from Michigan led the fight against him and, as ever, he fought hard. Mr. Hughes won, A smaller man would have sulked in his tent, and only waited for an opportunity to get back at the man ho opposed. ''. But. Senator Couens didn't sulk, and he didn't await his opportunity for revenge. He went on with his work, and WATCHED, noting what the new Chief Justice did and didi 't do. ' . : ..,'. v ' f ",. LESS than a year later, the senator from Michigan, made a public statement... He said he had opposed Hughes because he believed him temperamentally unfitted for the job too nar now, too conservative, too sympathetic with big business, etc., etc. but that after watching the Chief Justice and noting the character of his decisions, he had changed his mind, -o "I was wrong," said the senator, "and am glad to admit it. Justice Hughes is an lionor to tho liencli over which he presides. an ornament to the, legal profession; he has shown himself to be in every way (pialified for the high position he now holds' What I said against him I now retract. Those of my colleagues who favored his appointment were right. 1 was wrong." It takes a strong man to fight against odds for what he be lieves to be right j it takes a stronger man apd a bigger one, to stop fighting when convinced he is wrong, and, above all. to frankly admit the wrong.

PEACE FOR THE Hi, AIUlKH V OLD MAN The operation of prostatectomy U not the only relief for the elderly man with bladder trouble. A man aged 60 had suffered from such bladder trouble for two years, with diffi culty In vnidln-y And for the last two weelcs volun tary evacuation had been Impos sible. The pros tate was enlarg ed and the blad d e r enormously ovcrd attended and driDbiing. The man -was fortunate enough to have a good, resourceful physician. The doctor's first remedial measure was GRADUAL evacuation, which was accomplished in tho course of ton days. Immediate evacuation would be harmful and dangerous In sucn. circumstances. After complete evacuation on tho tenth day the doctor Injected about three ounces of a solution of antisep tic into the bladder. During all the ten days of course the patient was kept In bed. Tho days following the lnjectlou catheterization was done only once dally. Alter that It was done twlco dally. By this time Involuntary leakage had ceased. The patient's appetite and strength Improved. Voluntary evacu ation gradually returned land cathe terization ivas gradually discontinued. During the last four weeks the blad der has functioned normally and no catheterization has been required. By such painstaking and patient care, -which I hope you realize Is some thing you can get ONLY from the competent family physician and NOT from a specialist, the doctor reversed the process In which this unhappy old man had been caught, changed his third tnnri lnnf.) nt. nr hypertrophy back to the first stage and gave the patient perhaps many added years of life without discom fort. How will this case terminate? I think I know. Anyway I know human nature. The patient will mind the doctor's rules and cautions like a really grateful patient for a whil.e. Then If he remains fairly comfortable for a few months he will begin to fall back Into his old -ways and he will decide ho had better cut out some of the visits to the doctor and save part of the expense. . A little later ho will cut off the doctoring nonsense altogether and save every thingexcept his life. By Christ mas, well, by that time I Imagine, Orampa will be laid away In his little niche. , Nevertheless, I am glad to record this case hero as an example of what a tnoroly competent family physician can do If he gets the chance. These days too often the patient Is wise acre and does not have a family doc tor, probably doesn't even know one, but hies himself straight to a "spe cialist" and the specialist lands him in the surgical ward before you can say knife I QIXSTIONH AM) ANSWERS The Irrepressible Younger Generation. I Had a letter from my baby today. She's leaving the drama flat, for the time being, and having a fling at "journalism." Her maiden effort was recently published. Bo now she sa lutes her ole man and author thus: "My dear friend and colleague." Can you beat It? The nerve of ltl Do He Serious Come, come, correspondent, let us dispense -with this levity. Needless to give a detailed description of the pro posed operation. I'll concede without further ado that any operation is serious for the patient. But you are only wasting good Ink trying to get me to write and assure you that yours Is going to be Just dreadful. Even If I think so, I'll never tell ,you so that Is, unless I feel quite certain you are In the clutches of some quack or a brass specialist. Mouth Wash ' Please suggest a good mouth wash one can make up himself or have prepared by tho druggist.' (T. C.) Answer If you want a simple anti septic mouth wash, use a solution of teaipoonful of boric acid to the pint of boiled water. If you prefer some flavor add a drop or two of Vour favorite flavor to the solution. A pleasant mild " alkaline antiseptic mouth wash or 'gargle Is the Alkaline Antiseptic Solution (N. , p.) that means national formulary', a stand ard for all drug stores. Any druggist can prepare any desired quantity of this from the formula In his National Formulary. It may be used straight or diluted with two or three times as much water. .Bx- n Tuhemilosls Will you kindly recommend some good books on tuberculosis, for lay Answer "Rules for Recovery" by Dr. Lawrason Brown, published by Lea fe Febiger; "Lessons on Tubercu losis" by Dr. Charles Atkinson, pub lished by Funk & Wagnalls; "Recov ery Record" by Drs.
