Tender pigs are running across the country roads, in front of city auto Ista, and. some have met the fate of milk fed turkey the latter part of November. The Danublan Union, which Is tret. ting Europe, Is causing no excitement among the Main Stem statesmen. e f J. Kort Hall M. reported some peculiarities he haa noticed about the local weather. Several times Mr. Hall has got up at 3 am. to smudge, and a nock of clouds from Crtr. Lk. fooled him. He should have a better view of the northeast' end of the county from his boudoir. This year the people will try and have an election, without anything on the ballot for or against the sacred fish of the Rogue. Money, which was formerly plenti ful with everybody, continues scarce and elusive. The courthouse la beginning to look like aomethlng.

The Lesson llEDFORD is lucky. Had ' windy, instead of still and wet, probably nothing could have saved the city's entire shipping section As it is the $200,000 fire loss, regrettable as it is, can only be viewed as a blessing in disguise. The destroyed buildings, will certainly not be replaced by wooden structures of similar barn-like proportions, and the industrial section will conse quently never again be as serious a fire menace as it has been for so many years. "piIE .disaster emphasizes the necessity of strictly enforcing the fire ordinance regulations in the congested down-town business district. Far better to tear down a few of the tinder shacks, than run the risk of a conflagration of even more serious proportions than suffered early Saturday morning. A few hundred dollars sacrifice in this direction, may mean the saving of hundreds of thousands dollars later on. QATUBDAY morning's experience also brings, into sharp re lief, the wisdom of those who last fall, opposed the hysteria for economy that would have crippled the efficiency of Med ford 's fire and police departments. As the Mail Tribune stated at that time : "Conditions demand the utmost economy In all public ex penditure. But the same condlttona demand, maintenance of adequate police and fire protection, with the crime wave stead ily Increasing, with the numbera of unemployed and desperate growing here and everywhere else by leaps and bounds, this la no time to give way to a penny wise and pound foolish policy. Instead of needing less fire and police protection, we are going to need more. We have an efficient police department, we have auch a well organized fire department, that for five years we have enjoyed a steadily decreasing Insurance rate. Whatever we do. let's not seriously Impair the effectiveness of these two departments. Such action would be false economy. It would not be properly protecting the property and lives of our people, but would be subjecting them to risks, which this community can't afford, particularly at this time." What was true then, is even more true now. The appropri- j ations for these departments , U advised demand to cut them , fortunately was denied. j Police and fire departments insurance protection. One major through a long period of years, What "Are " We Going to Do About It? A CCUSED of robbing the city of New York of a million dol lars, Boss Tweed, shifted his cigar from one side of his mouth to the other and inquired: "Well, what are you going to do about itt" The people of New York as the saying goes "did plenty." They put the Boss in prison where he died penniless and dis graced. Boss Crocker, in a similar role, asked the same question- The people of New York forced him into exile in Ireland. A CCOREUNG to the report of people of New York have ONE YEAR than in the days of Tweed and Crocker, they were robbed in TEN. More than that, where Tweed and Crocker represented a small minority a ward gang so to speak the present plunderbund operating there, represent a large section of the city's population. They not only have their stations in the underworld, but in exclusive Park Avenue; they have not only invaded police hcadqunrtors, they have invaded the courts. Mayor Walkor is the nominal ruler of Now York. But in reality the greatest city in the lnnd is rulod by the underworld by organized crime. And tho attitude of this underworld is precisely the attitude of Bosses Tweed and Crocker, an attitude of contempt and insolent defiance. "What are you going to do about it!" XlTEI.iL what are we going to dol" That, in this newspaper's opinion, is the most impor tant question in this country today. Far more important than whether Mr. Tweoille-Dee or Mr. Dweedle-Dum is to sit in the White House Even more important than just WHEN tho de pression is to end. For this question strikes at the very heart of our national existence. It is a question of whether this is to remain a coun try "of the people, by tho people for the people"; or a country of the criminals, by the criminals and for the criminals It can't bo both. It must be all one thing or all the other. And in our opinion tho time has come for the people of this country to decide which it is to be. e e e e e IF a foreign foe were knocking at our gates, we wouldn't sit about speculating about who is going to be the next Presi dent or dog catcher, wondering when business will pick up, if it ever will, and all that sort of thing. We would be busy, each one of us, doing what we could do to protect our homos and repel the invader. Those helping those who could. We common cause. That is the war habit. Unfortunately we have no similar peace habit. And yet the danger crime, is as great as if the "barbarians" WERE at our gates. In one sense the danger is GREATER, For the army of organ ised crime, is within our gates, shotguns, their automatics and length and breadth of the fond, firesides and homes.

Now and again a fellow gets a bit balled up In this job of Instructing and ..advising all and sundry about health, happiness and the pursuit of what have you. Say there are seven hundred, er, clients, followers, suck ers waiting In the ante-room. Well, by the time you finish off correspond ent No. 230 you begin to grow a trifle bored and your thoughts wander over onto the bowling green and first thing you know you are answering some fool question with consideration only for the correspondent's happi ness and none at all for the general welfare. That won't do at all. z this Job the general welfare must al ways be kept In mind. For Instance, I answered a query one day by say ing In my opinion It Is fine for i girl's health to go In swimming when ever and wherever she can enjoy i swim. A little later X came In for a severe censure because I failed to warn the general public about the danger of swimming In polluted water. Recently I have made a similar er ror In giving advice about routine medical, health or physical examin ations for school children. In vari ous communities the health authori ties are endeavoring to carry on i general examination of all school children for evidences of tuberculo sis. The method Is to give each child first the skin tuberculin test, and then to make careful physical ex aminations and also X-ray examina tions of all the children who show a positive reaction to the skin tuber culin teat. A small proportion of the children who show such a positive reaction are found to have incipient or early lung tuberculosis. By thus recognizing the existence of the ac tual lung Involvement before the child's health Is much Impaired, the health authorities are In a position to institute proper treatment or gen eral hyglenlo measures to Insure re covery or to prevent the child from becoming a chronic Invalid. Obviously this means a great saving of money for the child's parents, and for the state, too. I have been urging parents to co operate with this endeavor of the health authorities and to believe the child who is so examined ts fortunate. But alter all, the method Is too costly to carry on In this universal fashion. It costs real money to make X-ray negatives of the chest and to Interpret them. It coats too much to Communications Prohibition Is Favored. To the Editor: I have not been asked to act aa press agent for Mrs. La Mance who has made several fine talka to va rious organisations In our valley this week, but I was so Impressed by some tninRs she said I wish all could have heard her. I am asking you for a bit of space to toll your readora of a few state ments that interested all who heard her talk. First -Let me say her description of the Holy Land where she has been was a revelation to me. although I have read much and heard other travelers tell their Impressions of this unique and Incomparable Pal estine. Her principal lecture brought some statements on prohibition that were also a revelation to most of us who have acceAs to surface conditions only, and have been more or less forming our conclusions from the average news channels. Many friends of constitutional pro hibition today bellero the measure was merely a wartime act and per haps should be repealed. Not knowing that Miss Wlllsrd had said many yeara ago that by 1030 prohibition would be written In the constitution of the United States: that prohibition forces for years had been working with that object and time In their mind, senatora and rep resentatives had been pledged to sup port the measure If It came up dur inb their tenure In office. War con ditions brought It about aooner than expected by most ardent supporters, tioes It not seem that If found ben eficial In time of war it would be also beneficial nowt Aa for the plea for legalised liquor for economical ressons. It Is a delu sion and a mirage and would bring more harm than benefit. The eco nomical benefit la In the hands of every person who uses liquor aa a beverace. stop using It thus and the bootleggers and rum runners, killings and such will be over with In a short time. Government and .i.ir numry yrs, alio private money could then be put to constructive uses. Has anything been accomplished In enforcement Much. Here are a few statements that can be verified' On a coast line of some 30,000 miles to be defended from importa tions at a three-mile limit, haa been raised to twelve miles, and the num ber of rum ships In sight any day from a plane has been cut from as high as 2S3 to the very few of three or four or live at a time. SaiUHUu- Brady, M. D. HEALTH EXAMINATION? apply the skin test to all the chil dren In a given school or class, when perhaps only two or three out of sev eral hundred have any active tuber culosis. So I now apologize to the public for my attitude In reference to tnese tuberculin tests. I believe such exam inations should be reserved for chil dren who are evidently below stand ard for their age and class In physical development and riustness. The cost of the examinations should be borne by the child's parents, not by the community. Likewise I think all so called pe riodic health examinations are silly and extravagant. I myself would not pay out good money for any such ex amination unless I believed or feared my health was not quite up to par. As long as you are perferctly con fident your health Is absolutely sound never mind a periodic examination, unless your's anxious to show the doctor what fine shape you have. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Through Ohio, David S, Ingalls' Story. Our Lovely D, A, R, Financial Fairy Tale, Copyright King Features 8ynd Ino. This is written on the Penn sylvania "Broadway Limited," going through Ohio, past Crest line, Mansfield, Wooster, and on through Salem to Pittsburgh where they say it is a bad sign when you can see the sun at noon, or the moon at night. Many years ago, at Wooster, this writer thought he would became a great railroad man. But his handwriting left much to be desired, and he was invit ed to start handling things in a freight office. A cousin, Walter Mullins, had tried news. paper work on the Philadelphia Press, and liked it, so this indi vidual went into Charles A Dana's New York Sun office, and glad of it, and grateful to Wooster, having done in news paper offices better than he could probably have done in freight offices.

As the lambs come back to Ohio grass each spring, so the two-legged lamba will return to the stock ticker, In due time, Ohio Is to be congratulated on hav ing a man worth while to vote for, in the May primaries. David S. Ingalls, assistant secretary of the navy, In charge of aeronautics. Is candidate for governor on the Re publican ticket, and this is part of his story. Hla father told him about Darius Green, who tried to fly, and fell. Young David, not yet ten years old, believed his father's statement that men would fly some day and decided to try It. He made wings. Jumped from a tall apple tree to fly, as ha had seen young robins do, and Injured his spine. When the big war came, that injury made It Impossible for him to take the ordinary soldier's Job, marching up and down, riding on a horse or looking after a cannon. But the Injured spine did not keep young Mr. Ingalls from sitting down and operating the controls and ma chine gun of an airplane. He went Into the American service, flew well, and fought hard. The only American naval ace In the world war, official reports show that he brought down five enemy planea and was awarded the distinguished service medal. Mr. Ingalls la a rich young man, but that did not cause him to look for "a soft Job" In the war. He picked out the hardest, moat dangerous. He ts picking out a hard, dangerous Job now in politics, and this writer wishes he could vote for him. Any American that trlea to fly before he Is ten years old, and then files for his country well, and fights well. Is the right kind of American. There are many such In Ohio, and doubtless they will vote for him. Daughtera of the American Revolu tion often surprise you. Recently they said It wss a great ahame for American' children to be "rubbing elbows with the children of Immi grants." Those esteemed "daughters" must be descendsnts of Immigrants, or red Indians. Now the daughtera ask that all foreign born out of a Job be deported. 'through a presidential decree of emergency." 44 The Daughters' ancestors, when they first arrived, were out of a Job and It might have been helpful If some of them had been deported. But honest aliens, men and women, now in this country under guarantee of decent treatment, will not be de ported untesa this has become a dis honest government. For a fsaclnating financlsl fslry- tale, read the history of Ivsr Kreuger. Swedish genius of financial legerde main. Kreuger had "actually received nearly one thoussnt' million dollara." Also "one can aum up the activities of Kreuger in recent yeara by saying that he transferred from the United States to Europe 1500.000.000." - He lent 100.000.000 to various European countries, "he always car ried one million crowns In his pocket." and, very interesting touch, "he had no vices except the compeny of pretty women and champagne with every meal.'

Americans are so used to being swindled by their own "high finance," through foreign bonds, watered stocks, and otherwise, that a few hundred millions more or less will hardly be noticed. 1 Mr. Stimson, secretary of state, is In Geneva, the Lord knows why, talk ing to other nations about what they should do about the size of their armies, etc. What business 1 that of ours?

President Hoover might tell France and the rest of the world that we are going to attend to OUR busi ness, protect OUR country, let them do as they like, and try to make them sorry If they interfere with us.
