A MATTER FOR THE COURTS TO DECIDE
nPHK OKKGOXIAN persist in mixrcpreKuntiiiK the contro-
veiny, between certain property owners on Kotfiie River and
certain miners, operating upon tlieir land. ,
This controversy wiis first' represented ns a fiirlit between
rich Californians, and poor fishermen, with free fishing along
the banks of the river at stake.
When the court pointed out that not fishing rights, but
property rights were alone involved, the Oregonian interpreted
this ruling as equivalent to placing the ultimate control of
Rogue Kiver in the hands of absentee landlords. ,
This case has nothing to do with' fishing, nothing to do with
whether a man is rich of poor, nothing to do with resident or
non-resident ownership. ' It is solely a question of the legal
rights of a property : dwnter AN Y I'KOPKItT Y OWNEIt on
Rogue River, and it is obviously a question for the courts, not
for the newspapers, to decide.
;' .
IT SKKMS to us that the Oregiuiian should be content to let
this case be decided by "due process of law" instead of ap
pealing to class prejudice, and trying to make this conflict ap
pear to be one between poor miners trying to earn their daily
bread, and wealthy California sportsmen, trying to make Rogue
River tlieir exclusive fishing preserve.
As a matter of fact, practically all land along Rogue River
is owned by residents of Oregon. A great deal is goyernment
and state land. Many Californians have built summer homes
along the river, but their total holdings represent less than (1
per (icnt of the total in this county alone. In other words, 94
per cent is owned by residents of Oregon or by the government
and state. .
Instead of trying to make Rogue River tlieir. private pre
serve, these Californians have gone out of tlieir way to build
stiles, cut paths and erect signs, giving the gcnerarpublic, fish
ing or rccreiition-bcn't, free access to their land. '
In the effort to "close Rogue River to commercial fishing,
and improve tho sport , in Southern Oregon, these same Califor
nians have contributed.. tlipusandu p (hillnrs, in fiiqt, ti is no
exaggeration to say that without them the fight against the can
nery interests woqld have-beou abandoned long-ago. .
Kach year these same Californians have spent the summer
here, and also their money, n factor that lias contributed, ma
terially to the prosperity of local merchants.
WE HOLD no spceial brief for them. We hold no special
brief for ANYONK. Hut we do believe that the fact they
are people of i:.ieans, should not bo held against them, or that
they should 'bo deprived of fights over their property which
every other river property owner enjoys. We further believe
that if their properties have mineral values, they, not oiit.tiibrs,
are entitled to the benefits of those values. t
THE QUESTION, WE REPEAT, IS PURELY AND SOLE
LY, A LEGAL ONE. AND SHOULD BE DECIDED WITH
OUT PREJUDICE OR RANCOUR, HY LEGAL MEANS. ,
If the law is wrong, if it deprives tho people of Southern
Oregon from enjoying all rightful benefits of Rogue River as
one of the country's greatest fishing streams, then LET THE
LAW HE CHANGED. ,
Hut don't try to settle this case outside of the courts, in an
atmosphere of class prejudice and hate, by MISREPRESENT
ING it as a struggle betweon residents and non-residents, a
conflict between the rich and tho poor, which it certainly
ISN'T, and never has been.
KEEP OUR PAYROLL AT HOME
THERE certainly should be no difference of opinion regarding
till) rlfWHMWWl nP flin tunnl tpiiFfiii nuunninlinii i i,,i,l.i, lt.
local labor in harvesting this year's fruit crop.
According to. official figures there are about 300' unem
ployed in Jackson County. During the past few weeks this
number has perhaps been increased. .
Whether it has or not, there is no question that residents of
Medford and the valley need all the work they can possibly get.
Under such circumstances to draw from the unemployed
elsewhere, to take work away from our own people and give
it cither to outsiders or transient floaters, would, in our opinion,
be littlo short of a crime. '
"fly Medford trade is Medford made." 'Certainly this time
honored slogan should be applied more forcibly tit the present
time than ever lieforo in local history.
With so much unemployment everywhere, a tremendous in
flux of idlo workers at harvest, time can hardly be av'uxled.
Wo believe that now is tho timo to serve notice up and down
the coast that outside workers should stay away, that Me'dford's
fruit crop will be picked and packed at home.
lluilding material seems very cheap now but wait until you
see next year's political platforms.
There's one consolation. When machines are doing all other
work, we can all find secure jobs as reformers.

BOYS SIIOtLII BOX AN' 1 (ilKLS BE GKACEFIX
ill
If I hod my way every boy In
grammar school would be required to
fchow a reasonable proficiency in box
ing as the. art Is
taught : in school,
and every girl would
be required to show
r e a sonable profici
ency In dancing, as
that art la taught
In school as a requi
site for graduation.
I would have every
boy prepared to set
tle his disputes or
differ ences with
other boy. by an
encounter In. the
ring, under proper supervision. I
would have every girl blessed with
the gracefulness and the self-confl-dence
whlf.'t comes-from the physical
tralnlns - that goes with the .study
of dancing. Both boys and girls, I
believe, should be required to know
how to swim and of course how to
resuscitate beforo they are allowed
to pass on to high school.
To narrow old pedagogues who had
no such physical education and who
cannot appreciate its importance or
value, this may seem absurd. What
ever the old timers may think about
these newfangled fads and foibles,
It Is assuring to note that our new
school buildings,, both grammar
and high schools, are splurging more
and more on tho equipment, for this
side of the child's education, and
even now In a few schools the physi
cal education teachers are almost on
a plane wlt,i the teachers who train
'cm from the neck up. Xn the less
progressive schools, however, the
physical education department still
tukes the Bnubs from the holty tolty
side and bides Its day. t
Parents of the peasant class do
not understand what It is all about.
To them as to antiquated peda
gogues all this gymnasium, swim
ming and field activity is a crazy
fad, . and accordingly such parents
readily conspire with children who
seek to. evade thl. part of school
work". There are still too many doc
tors, too, who are quite ready to'glve
a dishonest certificate or excuse to
help some misguided boy or girl
dodge gym class. I am sure doctore
who do till are ignorant of the harm
they do: they do not realize they
are helping the dumb youngster
dodge what Is perhaps the most valu
able part of his education, a training
w.hlch may make all the difference
between success and failure In life.
Mothers, : fathers, uncles, aunt.,
grandparent., I appeal to you In be
half of the children under your care,
Let' them skip unimportant classes
now and then, but don't let them
skip any of the physical education
they are fortunate enough to be ex
posed to while In school. Above all,
beware of the "weak heart" dodge.
If a child's heart la really diseased,
only tfie physician can advise wheth
er any exercise will do good. And
mothers particularly should beware
of cultivating a "weakness" complex
In the mind of a growing daughter.
The girl well enough to attend school
on her own power is ALWAYS well
enough and strong enough to attend
her gym classes, and the mere fact
that she Is a young woman la no
good reason for her to skip the class.
The best schools, today are the
schools with the best provision for
physical education, and the best peo
ple are favoring and insisting on
such schools. .

Oh, what a dance it waal They

They had built a fire outdoors, rub
