French To Vote On New Deputies PARIS. April 80. (AP) The French voter will go to the polls tomorrow to elect members of the new chsmber of deputies to which the government must look for Its support during Importsnt negotls tlone this summer on the momen tous Issues of reparation, war debts ant disarmament. Ml JW aIRB SBTbK 96 Editorial Correspondence SAN FRANCISCO, April 30. Another short bargain trip on the S. P. not a pleasure jaunt this time. Sixty-four pas sengers on the Shasta nut of Medford and a few more at Ashland. Kosey who rode to Ashland declared this number, was less than the eent-a-mile expectations. But 64 is better than 4 these days of empty coaches and Pullmans. Speaking of Pullmans when will the Pullman company tum ble to the bargain day idea. For our party of three the Pullman fare is exactly twice the rail road fare, which is hard to swallow. As a result over half the passengers were in the day coaches. They might try a bergsln day on the (liners also.' For orange Juice the charge Is 85 cents tor which one can get a good meal In Los Angeles. We have never understood why diners at such prices should lose money. But Rosey maintains they do and si ways have. Must be some lea some where, or merely a method of book keeping.

Thanks entirely to the Mall Tribune, the engineers on the Shssta division no longer try to knock the passengers out of their berths ss they back and fill. Everything smooth and salubrious. The country very beautiful now, hills vivid green, and dotted with wild flowers, blue gold and terra cotts.

A sour faced man on the ferry boat, apparently Buffering from a eold In the head, remarked as he shrugged his shoulders and turned up his coat collar "that's where our tax money goes a billion dollars floating right thera and a 1 0,000 bombing plane could sink tha whole outfit." He must be a reader of Brother Bris bane's column. j. 8. navy launches take visitors out to the fleet from 1 to 8 p. m. .res of chsrge. Private tubs and tugs take them out every ten minutes for SO cents per. Here Is one exam ple ot government ownership and operation beating competitors. The private launchea looked for an the world like the old Coney Island clam-bake hulka that used to mosey up the Sound on week ends. Wa chose a navy launch attached to the dresdnaught West Virginia and went out In style with a natty mid shipman In charge and white-capped bluejackets as craw. Getting to trie launch, however, was like getting to sn 8. P. train after the big game at Prtlo Alto. What ldlota wa humans are In crowd! Such needless pushing and pulling snd Jamming the mob spirit ruled whenever a launch, came In. We delivered a lecture to three rough neck kids who were needlessly Jam ming the wind out of the young lady of the party In our beat editorial atyla and the young lady In ques tion who Is not esslly Intimidated, alapped one of them right smart, her eyes biasing. The latter outburst was mora effective then the editorial atvle. the one who got slspped was so surprised that he drew away and let ua through, hla mates giving him the merry "Hs-ha." What wonderful thing these war ahlpa ar and yet when the millions and millions they cost 1 figured one wonders when sll the money goes. It wa plainly evident that our Jolly tare lead neither a very exciting nor romantic life during times ot peac. Many ot them wer sleeping In the sunshine, sprawled about on the deck in various recumbent and semi recumbent positions. Others were polishing brsas, scrubbing the decks and painting. Painting It seems Is a perpetual occupation. ach ship be ing pslnted entire every week. At leaat this Is whst on ot the bluejack ets told us with a strsight face, but knowing how they lor to "kid" land lubbers, perhsps. V editor wss being "strung." They wer baking spple pies In the psstry kitchen, and we were shown in th meat shop where there wer enough beeves hung up to make Emll Pech dlrrj. The big guns wer tremendovis thing and on speculated what a MEDFORD MAIL shell to fit such giant would do to Market street. Many young 8. F. girls were aboard, highly excited at the prospect ot see ing so msny sailor all at one and "at home." They giggled and applied make-up and smoked clgaret at a great rate. We should say tha blue Jackets s a whole wer very Indiffer ent to their charm. Most interesting wer the two sub- msrlnes, B3 and B8 visitors being allowed to crawl all over them Inside snd out. How they ever get recruit for this service Is beyond the editorial We." Like living in a manhole and sleeping inside th hood of a twin- six automobile I We crawled down three flight of stairs, squeezed through th engine rooms, looked out ot the periscope, snd through the torpedo tubes. One of the bluejackets wss working on a torpedo said It didn't work right, one left over from the war. Wouldn't keep a strsight line at the proper level underwater, bo he was trying to find out what was wrong.. "Sometimes they go haywire," said he "and after being shot out disap pear. "They don't like that," he ex plained, "for they cost $10,000 each," Then he added for no reason In par ticular that he went to see a U-boat movie in San Francisco the other night and It "made him alck. They don't know anymore about subma rines In Hollywood than they do about deep-aea fishing," he sld. "They'll never get me to a U-boat movie again." In a little cubby hole nearby three of the crew were aprawl lng listening to the radio broadcasting tea time muale from the Mark Hop kins. Coming back It was quite rough on the bay, tha launch pitched and plunged, dashing spray over everyone near the bow. One young lady with bright red lips and whit bunny furs grew very psle and had tha pleasure ot having a young sailor boy put his rslncoat over her shoulders. He also helped her up the gsng plank to the wharf, and before they reached the end of the pier her cheek wer NOT so psle. R. W. R. PREJUDICE CLAIM UNSUPPORTED IS RULING BY JUDGE (Continued trom Pag On) affidavit in conjunction with Fehl The court holds the "evidence is pre ponderantly against" Abrams and Everhardt, "and It must be assumed they are mistaken, as both are honest snd truthful men." Th defense claimed th conversa tion occurred during th trial, March 7; th plaintiff, that It occurred after jthe trial, March 13. That affidavit of Darren nuson, candy atore operator, and Mrs. Csrrle, sn employee, and O. L. Parker, music teacher, ahow alleged prejudicial statements of Mrs. OcBauer were msde after the verdict, and there fore had no bearing on the verdict, and that the alleged prejudicial state ments of Mrs. OeBsuer were made "sfter reading a bitter attack In the Dally New which ahe regarded as an attempt to Intimidate the Jury." Complaint Right Waived That charges of Attorney T. J. En- right of alleged misconduct of the Jury, and "hobnobbing with plain tiff's attorney." should nave been in ett with the court at the time, and by failure to do so he "waived the right to complain afterwards." That Mrs. OeBauer's shaking hand with Parr, after th verdict, was "custom" snd thst the Jurors were necesaarlly thrown Into Innocent contact with attomeya and apectators, which had no bearing on the final decision. The women Jurors all denied receiving candy and llfe-savera from plalntlffa counsel, but Mr. Clreo Pankey avers she gsv Attorney Allison Moulton.m stplrln when he said he hsd a head ache. Mee Qualified Juror That "no proof is submitted to show that Anderson Me was not a qualified Juror, and th fact that ne resided a few feet In Josephine coun ty, when he thought he resided In Jsckton county." Is not grounds for new trlsl or his disqualification. The court sets forth thst Oregon law prohibit th court from determ ining whether or not a dsmsge ver dict it excessive and that It "would be an arbrltrary and captloua view for th court to aatum It had " It la further held thst It Is within "the province ot th Jury to administer a stern rebuke when a newspaper prints charges not sustained by th truth." Th court declares It has no way ot determining whether or not the Jury resented the two chief Imputations of the libelous article: The branding of Parr ss a "murder." snd "urging mob violence and lining up of officers without trial, to ae if their heads would atsnd a tew soft-nosed bul lets." Parr ot Slaver Th court tskee cognlisnc thst de fense pleaded Juttltlcstton and de nied msllce. but failed to ahow that Parr was not the game warden men tioned, though evtdenc was Intro duced to show that th fatal shot hsd been fired by another. Th court contends ther 1 no pre cedent for hearing th testimony of an "unknown witness, based on bar surmise snd veiled suggestion," with indlcsilons It would b "profltlesi snd Interminable." Th court declares It finds nothing In the Instructions showlrut thst In structions were presented to the Jury on damage to Parr, "In his official capacity," as Um detent claimed. TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, Today By Arthur Brisbane Wear Your Rubbers, ; Two Bombs, Far Apart. Few Resist Death, Alice Is Here, Copyright King Pasture Synd. Inc. President Hoover and Gover nor Roosevelt, who may be com petitors next November, had a very pleasant talk when the president invited twenty-two governors to dine with him at the White House. If a friend leaves Mr. Solly Wertheim, owing him money, Mr. Wertheim always says "Don't forget to wear your rubbers." . President Hoover probably did not advise Governor Roose velt to wear his rubbers, but no doubt Governor Roosevelt would be the president's favor ite competitor at the coming election. Those who under stand politics, and former Gov ernor Smith's friend all know why. Two bombs attracted attention Fri day. On in Shanghai, thrown at a parade In honor of the Japanese em peror's birthday. Some Chines thought th parade was being held In th wrong city. The other bomb, verbal, wa thrown by Blahop Man ning, ot New York, at Oovernor Roosevelt. Bishop Manning wsnts to know why Oovernor Roosevlt does nothing about "corruption In the government of New Vork City." -- Columbia university will celebrate the one hundredth anniversary ot Professor Dodgson who wrote "Alio In Wonderland" snd signed it "Louis Carroll" thinking It too undignified for a professor of mathematics. Sometimes undignified things are mor Important than others. Tha learned Dodgson will be re membered for hi "Alice" not for his book on Euclid. Mr. Hargreaves, the original "Little Alice" for whom th book was writ ten, now 80 years old, comes to cele brate the anniversary of one who made her famous. . Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, learned head of th university, will address and congrstulst Mrs. Hsrgreaves. H might speculate on the strsnge things that she wUl see when she goes "through the looking glsss't and Into that greater "wonderland" on th other side of tha grave, what kings snd queens will she find ther. what arrangement that will seem topsy turvy to her? In Eddyvllle. Ky., suthorltles were prepared to kill three negroes In the usual easy, peaceful way. Two of the condemned accepted their fat peace fully, but Walter Holmes decided that life was worth fighting for. It took the officers an' hour and a half to fore him from his death cell to the electric chair. .He stabbed one, beat othera with an Iron pipe, and tear gas wss need ed to subdue him. He finally walked to his desth smoking a cigarette. This la news becaue tt is unusual. Men die, usually, as quietly a sheep, plsylng their parts submissively In arrangements that have been made. Thla writer haa aeen two men guil lotined In Paris, five hsnged In New Tork City, two killed in the electric chair. No protest or struggle by any. In old days when Britain wanted to Impress and suppress bsrbarous tribes of tha Khyber Pass, or fuzzy wuzale anywhere, It wss necesssry to send men marching over ssnd and rocks, offering good target to sav ages. Recently the British hsv sent srmor clad tanks Impervious to all savag devices, and airplanes, drop ping bombs thst frighten with their noise, tear gas that terrifies with It strangeness, snd when necesssry ma chine gun bullets.

A MODERN MEDICAL MIRACLE A New Tork correspondent writes thst these articles are much enjoyed by him and have brought benefit to his family and friends. Then he deposes andsssys: "Several years ago at the age of S3 while doing clerical work In volving much tel ephoning, I sud denly b e c a m a quit 111 with dlxzlneas, a de cided deafness In one ear, followed by nausea and violent vomiting. A feeling of grogglness produoed an unstesdlnets on my feet, causing me to atagger through th street like a drunken sailor not the leaat dis tressing condition. My sppetlte seem ed unimpaired but the uncertainty of balance and frequent recurrence of the vomiting, usually preceded by Increased head noises snd a feverish condition, made me miserable. "Doctor prescribed rest, diet . . . "Ear apeclallst did help to par tially restore the hearing, but there was no lasting benefit, "Finally I placed myself in the bands of Dr. , sn osteopathic phyalclan ..." It Is Immaterial whether the phy sician is osteopathic, homeopathic, psychopathic or what have you. Enough that he la a physician duly licensed by the state. His pathy or his pathetic pretenses need not con cern us, further than to wonder why a good man ahould resort to that quaint trick to appeal to the cred ulity of the public. "... Dr. became much Interested. After a number of ex aminations be decided that I might Denerit oy naving my tonsils moved. He could remove the tonsils by either the regular surgical ton sillectomy or by the diathermy metnod. "I decided on the latter. He Drov ed to be expert with the method. I cannot say .too much In praise of his technic, Involving a deftness snd gentleness . . . There wss practically no pain or discomfort. Uttle time from one's- occupation Is required though or course the process la Slower and means more visits to the uocLora omce. uut from a mere layman's point of view It seems safe. as It Involves no loss of blood or serious after-affects of which we hear so much. "It has helped me wonderfully. My bearing has been restored to such sn extent that I can again carry on conversation witnout asklnsr for con stant repetition, and muslo has once more become enjoyable to me." This Is good news for future gener ations. Too much of the earth is now covered with water. We do not need eo much. It Is all in the nands of nature now, but a time may com when science will know how to lift the depressed crust of the earth from th bottom of oceans, sddlng ten to twenty billion acres of fertile land to man's possessions. Thst will hsve to be done carefully, to keep land and water balanced. The desert perhaps could sop up enough water to make the ocean fit Into smaller holes. Fresh water, as the sun raises it Into the clouds, could be poured onto the deserts and farms Instead of going back to the oceans. There Is enough water in oceans, seas, lakes snd rivers to cover the whole earth on mil deep. Press Comment "What Fooli We Mortals Be." James R. Bancroft, president of the American Institute of Finance, Issues a statement that la plain, pungent and penetrating, which might be given the caption of "The American Boob." It contains so much good sense that it may well be considered by the American people, and quote it in part: "If the United States of A mer les, want to see the end of de pression, we had better stop be ing a nation of boobs. "There are steps to take which cannot fall to Improve the situ ation and every Intelligent stu dent knows what they are. But, Instead of taking these steps, we abuse with epithet &nd calumny thorn who propose them. 'We pray for the end of de depreMlon, and by acta of omis sion and commission do almost everything we can to prolong tt. "That we haw become a nation of boobs Is exemplified by our attitude on domestic problems, foreign problems, business, the stock market, goverivnental ex penditures, tarirre, taxation, pro fa. ibt Ion and the war debts. "It is time to gel rid of our emotions and operate with a Ut tle soundneaa and sanity. "We fuss and fiddle around about collecting the war debts. We listen and heed all the child ish propaganda from clergymen, college professor, politicians, street corner economists and demagogues, while we lose tn na tional prosperity countless times over the actual dollars and cents Involved In the war debts.

Ten or fifteen years sgo this pat- lent could not have made such a recovery without undergoing the haz ard, a real hazard at that age, ot surgical tonsillectomy. Even today a good many regular physlclsns and throat specialist would offer such a patient no alter native to the old Spanish custom. This osteopsth deserves credit tor his ability ss a physician, even If he does adhere to the haUowed quack ery of pretending to practice a nar row uttle system. I'd ssy the same thing If he purported to be a homeo path, an eclectic, or an "allopath" whatever that may be. All these slleged "paths" are Just an appeal to popular gullibility, to prejudice. Fortunately a phyalclan may be a good physician even if hla education la all In one direction. It Is the sys tem of medical education which la at fsult, not th practitioner. Our medical educational system is a com ical thing. Too much old-fogylsm In It. and too much political graft. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Good Idea From Good Book ' One of your correspondents asked If rocking a baby while nursing would Interfere with the baby's breathing. In a book called "Simplifying Moth erhood" I read that the nursing mother should take care the baby aoes not snut off his Own wind by pressing his nose tightly against the breast. This book contains many practical helps which I have found Invaluable In the breast feeding of my babies. I would be glad to loan It to you if you wish to see It. (Mrs. W. M. McC.) Answer Thsnk you. It Is a fine book, by Dr. Rlchardaon. Your pub lic library probably has it. The tech nic of nursing the baby is well worth any mother's or prospective mother's careful study. The breast fed baby gains an advantage over the bottle fed baby that lasts years or a life time. Nearsighted I am very nearsighted, have been wearing very heavy lenses for fifteen years. Recently I hsve heard there are exercises which will strengthen the eyes and enable one to discard glsssas . . . (Miss S. F.) Answer Well, there are no uch exercises, except In the back psges of snide magazines. ' The best exercise for nearsighted eye is viewing dis tant soenery. The wise young per son with nearsightedness will wear correct lenses for all near work. In order to conserve the vision. Also such young persons should have the benefit of eye examlnatlona and fit ting of glasses while the eyes are under the resting or relaxing Influ ence of drops. "We hurl money to the winds In profligate governmental ex penditure and then we worry about the credit of our govern ment. "We take our money by the hundreds of millions out of the banks and then we damn the bankera because they will not lend. We bury our money In hole or vault and then we won der why business Isn't good. We refuse to buy other men's goods which we need and for which we can pay, snd then we wonder why he cannot buy ours. "We buy securitleb of any and evBry company that doea busi ness in the glorious United States, regardless of price, at the top of a boom, and we sell them all out In the throes of depres sion. We find no price too high to pay for stocks In 1929 and no price too low to sell them short In 1932. We enthusiastically purchase securities at the height of a boom for 23 to 50 times the biggest earninga they have ever shown, and we want no part of the same securities when they can be bought In many instsncea for less than the government bonds and gold dollars In their treasuries. "At the height of a boom we see no more depressions, and at the bottom of a depression we see no more booms. "Wo hall every demagogue and we Jeer everyone who promul gates sound doctrine from the President down. "We cry for business to re cover snd we take every known step, public and private, do mestic and foreign, to prevent It." St. Cloud Times-Journal. TO ENTER CAMPAIGN IS LATEST (Continued trom rage One.) the balance of power, along with the Bourbon vote in this city. The coun try democracy is stronger than at sny time since Wilson kept the country "out of war." but not enough to cut much of a awsth. The country is split Just as many ways as the city vote, and Is not as solid as claimed. Charle M. Thomas, public utility commlMloner spent Prldsy In the city and valley. His visit had no political significance, and the commissioner was on a semi-official visit. Charles Talent of the state traffic department arrived Saturday to launch his campaign for the Repub llcsn nomination for sheriff. He has been granted a 20-dty furlough by ! the department, and will be here until the totea are counted.

The Osrden club wss organized In August. 1928 by Jane Snedloor who became Its first president. Raymond Mlksch wss vie president, Mrs. A. J. Hedges, secretary, and Mrs. s. . Blden, treasurer. Many lodges were organized m thoae early days. The A. O. U. W. being the first having been organ ized In December, 1884. Talisman Lodge K. ot P. was organized March 11,1890, with thirty-one charter mem bers. The Odd Fellows orgsnlzed July 18, 1886. and the I. O. O. F. Encampent No. 30. May 17. 1893. The Mason lodge No. 38 wss organized In 1890 and the Woodmen of the World was orgsnlzed In 1898 with twenty-flva members. The Maccabees organized October 37, 1893 and th Red Men April 8, 1904. with fifteen members. The Elks were orgsnlzed in 1909. T. E, Daniels was ths leading organizer and first exalted ruler. They now own a beautiful building at the comer ot North Central and Fifth streets. April 13, 1900, Resmes Chapter East ern Star was organized and named for the Hon. Thomas G.

When the town waa first platted the street running parallel with the railroad were lettered and the others numbered beginning at the north side ot town. In 1908 the Greater Medford club started a movement to have the latter changed to the names of trees, the Initial letter being the same as the original name. This was done and henoe Bartlett, Fir, Holly, Laurel, etc. Harry Wortman Sr., was on the council and he asked that Seventh street be called Main street and TROUBLE CLOUDS (Continued from Page one.) The supporters of both are still making varying claims as to the division of Pennsylvania's 76 dele gates. The Roosevelt claims run as high as 66 and those for Smith 44. The preference vote there Is virtually assured the present New York gov ernor, but thla la not binding on the delegates. California Watched Coming so soon after the Massa chusetts and Pennsylvania contests, California's primary Tuesday will be watched with unusual Interest. It will be a three-way contest for 44 delegates, bringing together for the first time Roosevelt, Smith and Speaker Garner. Unlike Pennsylvania and most other primary states, the preference decis ion there Is binding on the dele gates. There will be no doubt as to the victor when the votes are counted. Of the 19 Republican conventions held to date, three favored resub mission of the eighteenth amend ment, ten ignored the question and six voted dry. Of 14 Democratic conventions, eight favored resubmission, four msde no mention of prohibition and two were dry.
