Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS JOHN HUOHES Curtis, the myste rious boat builder, Joins the ranka of the contemptible aquad that for purpose of self advancement played with the agonlea or the Lindbergh when they were aeeklng their lost baby. When you read that, SWEAR as viciously aa you can. You will be forgiven. 117HAT prompted Curtis to do thla " scurvy trick? Well, apparently, he wanted to BE SOMEBODY. It enabled him to as sociate with Colonel Lindbergh, to ride around In private yachts and in airplanes; to have his name spread on the front pages of the newspapers. That pleased his puny soul. It certainly takes all kinds of peo ple to make a world. nELIOIOUB riots rage In India. So runs a leading story In the news of the day. Moslems and Hindus shoot and stab each other to death. Back of the shots and the knife thrust and the blowa of the cluba la Intense hatred. What strange deeds to be done In the name of religloul "yOUNG officers of the Japanese army, apparently resenting; what they regard aa halfway measures In Manchuria, set upon and kill Premier Inukal, of Japan. If we may Judge accurately by the printed reports, they hoped the na tion would rise In revolution, fol lowing their deed, and set up a gov ernment of blood and Iron. IT DIDN'T. Which la some conso lation. The people of Japan, .apparently, are not ALL committed to the policy of blood and Iron. Perhaps some of them look back to 1914 and re member what auch a policy brought to Germany, then powerful and rich, now weak and poverty-stricken. T OBERT DOLLAR dies at the ad- vanoed age of 86, and the whole country, especially the Pacific Coast, feels a sense of loss. Why? Here la the answer: Because Robert Dollar was a USE FUL -citizen. He built up a great business. He CREATED EMPLOY MENT. Because he lived, thousands of peo ple are better off. P YOU are youngTwJth the useful years of your life ahead of you, and If you want to be mourned when you die, so organize your life that others will be benefited because you have lived. HOW did Robert Dollar get his start? He worked In logging camps for small wages, and SAVED HIS MON EY. When he got a little money saved ahead, he went Into the lumber business for himself. The lessons he had learned while he was aavlng the money with which to make his atart enabled him to make a success of his business and keep It growing. Most of the people who amount to anything In thla country got their start In Just that way. ft ERE Is an Interesting statement culled from tho news of the day: The deficit in the treasury of the United States Is Increasing at the rate of 9300,000 EVERY HOUR. That la to say, the government of Via United States Is spending every hour of the dsy three hundred thou sand dollars more than It la taking In. At that rate, even the govern ment of the United States of Amer ica, which la the greatest and rich est government on earth, la going to get Into serious trouble sooner or later. The only way It can keep ou of trouble is by raising as much money In taxes aa It spends In appropria tions. That ts why the tax bill now before congress Is so important. IN PIERCE BATTLE HARBIN.

JAPS AND CHINESE FEHL'S ELECTION TO Ashland Tidings Turns Hot Blast On Candidate for Judge As Result of Stand On Murder of Officer The Ashland Tidings today turned thumbs down on the candidacy of Earl Fehl for county judge, due t his stand on the murder of Officer Prescott. In a front-page spread, the Tidings says: 'Aa is customary with most news papers, the Dally Tidings had not In tended to choose any favorites in the primary which will be held Friday, May 20. "However, a condition haa arisen which makes It compulsory for the Dally Tidings to oppose the nomina tion of Earl Fehl, candidate for the Republican nomination for county Judge. For eight years, like an os trich, we have muffled our ears and closed our eyes to any utterance of this editor, refusing to read his pub lication. "This morning a quotation from one of the Issues of his publication, for which he must assume full re sponsibility, was brought to our at tention and, based upon the danger embodied in this article. In that the same mental attitude would un doubtedly be taken Into the office by this candidate if he was nominated ahd elected county Judge, we are without reservation opposed to his nomination and opposed equally to his election, if he should be nomi nated. " 'If you will ake a look at the prohibition records, you will wonder If It was not a good saving for the taxpayers for Officer Prescott to be put out of the way. 4Thls paragraph is tsken from the Pacific Record-Herald, lsesue of April 3, 1931 a publication of which Earl Fehl waa publisher and editor. "We ask only that the voters of thla communllty read the quotation from the Pacific Record-Herald which we reproduce on this page. Tho citi zens of Ashland are too familiar with the details of the Incident referred to for it to be even necessary for us to make comment on that paragraph. . "We have in the past adhered to a policy of ignoring the Pacific Record-Herald and the contents of the publication It seems unnecessary to us to Inflict upon our readers auch sentiment as Mr. Fehl so eloquently expressed In the single paragraph which we hereby reproduce. Circula tion of the publication in Ashland Is limited, and as It is limited the effect of such sentiment naturally Is lim ited and It seemed useless and foolish to us to further spread Mr. Fehl's sentiment through the columns of the Daily Tidings. "An emergency hase arisen, how ever, which we beliecve not only jus tifies, but makes It imperative, for us to at this time bring to the at tention of Ashland citizens the type of thinking which Mr. Fehl haa con sistently followed In his publication a type of thinking which is typi cally expressed in the comment on the Prescott murder. "Convinced of the grave danger which would exist should Mr. Fehl succeed In being nominated on the Republican ticket for the vitally Im portant office of county Judge, we today abandon our 'hands off policy In the primary campaign not to en dorse any candidate, but to oppose with all the power and with personal conviction of our duty, not only to the Republican party but to the citi zens of Jackson county, the nomina tion of Mr. Fehl, whom we would under no circumstances support in his aspirations for public office. We do this because we honestly believe that a genuine menace would face this county should Mr. Fehl, with the destructive attitude which he has consistently exhibited In his publi cation, achieve a position of power in this county. "Wo earnestly urge that every Re publican voter cast his ballot for a candidate other than Mr. Fehl con centrating as much as possible upon a single candidate. If this can be done, in order that the defeat of Mr. Fehl may be made certain. We urge thla because we have at heart the welfare and best Interests of Jackson county and our fellow citizens. "We are fearful of the destructive attitude of Mr. Fehl We believe the Ashland vote will largely determine the county Judge nomination let Ashland concentrate on a single Re publican candidate, other than Mr. Fehl, and remove NOW. IN THE PRI MARY, the menace of auch mental attitude as Mr. Fehl has and con tinues to exhibit and as he would exhibit If elected county JudRe. "O. M. OREEN Managing Editor. "REOINA JOHNSON.

Of course t alwaya aald I hated to foreclose, but I could see no way around It, aa I could get no satis faction out of Mr. Morris In the way of a settlement. When I talked with blm he would aay, "I'll pay It off aa aoon aa I can." I had notes com ing due that I had to pay, so I went to you for advice. You wrote to Mr. Morris for me but got no aatlsfactory answer In the way of a settlement. So you advised mo to foreclose, the same as one other attorney had done. I alao talked It over with two dif ferent real estate men. They advised forecloaure. Mr. Morris attorney never onoe oame and offered to pay off the mortgage. That statement Is absolutely false. I never told anyone It waa the district attorney that brought ault and not me. That atatement Is untrue. Everyone I talked with aald you should have foreclosed long a-o.
