Albert B. Fall, consigned to n state
prison yesterday, for taking n bribe
never given, according to 'a Jury
other than his own, Is writing In
the papers of happier days, wVien he
was a cabinet member and the pal
of a president. 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. :

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

Mouth Wash
' Please suggest a good mouth wash

Answer If you want a simple anti
