P YOU ARB WISE, you will pay
little attention to the ups and
downs of the stock market In these
days.
It Isn't gambling on the stock
market that is going to restore busi
ness In this country to normal. The
thing that will come nearest to re
storing business to normal Is lor
everybody who HAS A JOB to do his
' Job in the very best way he knows
how EVERY DAY.
If everybody does that, business
will return to normal In Its own
good time.

OWN In the great delta of the
Mississippi, below New Orleans,
an ignorant' poor white trash hunter
ran out of bullets for hut gun the
other day.
So he melted down the lead plaque
erected in 1682 by the explorer La
' Salle as a record of France's claim
to the mighty Louisiana country,
which Included the greater part 01
the present Mississippi valley.
Thus a priceless historical relic
was destroyed.
y-vNE'S inclination is to censure,
and to censure severely; but
the poor ignorant clod who melted
up this priceless relio to secure a few
bullet for his gun la to be pitied,
rather than censured.
Not for him are the great deeds
of history. The thrilling story 01
the past, telling of the rise of the
human race from savagery to civill-
cation, is a closed book so far as he
la concerned. In a world,, full 01
wonderful things, alive with romance
and rich with Inspiration, he can
see no higher than a few bullets
for his gun.

Administration claims of bear raids
on the stock market were called
"purely ridiculous" today by Richard
Whitney, president of the New York
stock exchange.
Appearing In answer to the senate
banking committee's subpoena Whit
ney explained ne could not submit
the data of last Friday's short sell
ing position on the stock exchange
until next Friday. Aplrl 8 marked a
new low level In stocks.
Whitney, surrounded by the In
qulsttve senators and a pack of spec
tators, also denied vigorously that
there la any "bear raiding" on the
stock exchange and insisted the rules
wouldn't permit it.
Public Blamed
For two hours, the bronze-faced
stock exchange president parried
question and answer with the com
mitteemen. Senators from tile wheat
belt indulged In most of the exami
nation.
Whitney blamed the public for the
1929 stock price inflation and agreed
with Democratic members as they
poked gives at the "no more poverty'
slogan heard In those days.
Awaiting the specific data on short
selling promised by the stock ex
change president on Friday, the com
mlttee made no effort to get from
him any names of ti'.ie more promi
nent dealers in this manner of trad
lng.
H'alcott Silent
Senator Walcott (B.. con.), the ad
ministration spokesman, who Inspired
tne suddenly called investigation, sat
next to Whitney in the center of
the long committee table but never
spoke.
Senator Brookhart (R., Iowa) asked
about reports reaching the commit
tee that a "Black Saturday bear raid
was planned for last Saturday:
Whitney said ail ho knew about that

H'
IERE In Southern Oregon, which
' Is a mere Infant sa far as age
goes in history, we have mementoes
of our past which are of little In
tercst now, but In future years will
be of tremendous historical Interest.
r Beyond all doubt, somewhere In
this great Southern Oregon country,
there are authentic linchpin wagons
that actually made the epochal trip
cross the plains, drawn by
teams; wagons that possibly were
drawn up in a circle to serve aa
barricade against Uie circling painted
and feathered Indiana.
These wagons. If they exist, are
rotting away somewhere, forgotten,
their historical Importance wholly
overlooked.
Yet, to us, they are Just aa signifi
cant of the past. Just as priceless
as was that lead plaque down in
Louisiana, which was melted up by
an Ignorant hunter.

NOW, before It Is too lata.
WASHINGTON, April 11. (P)
Senator Robinson, Arkansas, Demo
cratic leader of the senate, declared
against cash payment of the soldiers'
bonus today.
Advocates of full payment of the
bonus came before the house ways
and means committee to attempt to
snow how the Issuance of $2,200,
000.000 of additional currency for
that purpose would promote the gen
eral welfare of the country.
weary from Its long task of draft
ing a tax bill to balance the budget,
members or the committee listened to
a story of thousands of veterans out
of work and in need of the money
represented by their bonus certifi
cates-
Representative Patman. (D., Texas)
said most of the advocates favored
paying the certificates in United
States notes, though they were not
agreed on the exact terms of a bill
Among those In attendance were
General Frank Mines, veterans ad-
mlslstrator, and John T. Taylor, leg.
Islatlve representative of the Amer
ican Legion, whose national com
mander, Henry L. Stevens, has op
posed payment of the certificates.
"Unless we can show that payment
of the bonus can benefit the country
and promote the general welfare."
Fatman declared, we are not
titled to have this bill passed.
"If it will be the least bit detri
mental to the general welfare, we
are not entitled to win.
"There are 750.000 able-bodied vet
erans out of work. There are 79,000
slightly disabled veterans who are out
of work. Then there are 800.000 vet
erans working only one or two da
a week."
Entering the George Simpson home.
119 North Peach street, at lilgh noon
today, a daring young burglar stole
Mrs. Simpson's purse containing about
$1.50 in change and was ransacking
a dressing table in search of other
articles when the Simpsons' young
aaugmer, ueraldlne, reported "a man
in the house."
Mrs. Simpson, who was in the gar
den at the time, reached the house
to see the burglar escaping. She no
tlfed the state police and 10 mlnutea
later Joe Folsom, of the local aquad,
picked up James Markwood, 19, who
answered the description given.
He found the youth In the 900
block on West Main street. Mark
wood is now lodged In the county
Jail on a charge of burglary. A small
amount of money, believed to be that
taken from Mrs. Simpson's purse,
was found In his pockets, according
kj report; oi umoer Folaom.
Markwood has been In Medford
several days, supposedly representing
a silk hosiery concern. He had not
attempted making a sale at the
Simpson home, however, prior to the
robbery. There waa no one In the
house when the burglar entered and
he would have escaped with ease had
Mrs. Simpson not sent her young
ciaugnter in to prepare for her re
turn to school following luncheon.
Officers believe that other email
robberies reported during the past
several days were perpetrated bv
