Both the dutin- ( guished personagea aeem to be low- j rate piscatorial enthusiasts, ah they are wining ana able to do something besides fish. The "public conscience" that was going to be awakened, by the grim and embittering finale of the Lind bergh babe kidnaping tragedy appar ently has rolled over and gone to sleep again. "Politics In the last analysis are simple" (Plain Talk). You aald It, and here comes the lunacy commla eton. HOW TO VOTB Aa you do not possess enough sense to do your own voting, I wtu do it m rm Ifnluuli, Wn 1. ..... I. . T ork for the people, doing tricka like this for them. Now follow these In- atructlons: When you get your ballot, write a T" after the name of the saint I tell you to vote for. The law pro vides that an "X" be used, but make "Y", and throw off the yoke of gangdom, and help make the bankers loosen up. Mark your ballot out In the open, and not In the booths, If you can get out of It. In the event one of our boys gets beat, this win help to prove ' nm waa roooea ana joooea. and enable 1 ua to procure a writ of humplty dumplty. Vote right and end the rule of Sin and Satan. Under no circumstances let common sense approach, or It will contaminate you. Don't vote for a bachelor. He la an Incubus and haa no sons. Don't vote for a fsther. He might have sons, and la also an Incubus. Dont vote for anybody that swears. Tnere Is no excus for anybody awear Ing but myself. If It was not for wasting the taxpayera soap. I would wash out everybody'a mouth. I am surprised st the lack of swearing, to tell the truth, which la aeldom. How long will the people vote for officials who pay 1277 .987.300.32 for a wheelbarrow. Don't believe anybody who tells you the county never hsd that much money. Steal the wheel barrow, and ask them where It la, and the truth will be proven. When you vote, remember who aowed the dog-fennel In your alfalfa. Crush the dog-fennel sowers. Personally, I will not vote until the people learn how. a The current apasm toi economy In congress haa reached the stsge where to balance the budget. It may become neoeaaary to deliver the mall In rural areas but one a week. The aavlng would not be ao much, but It would be annoying, and deprive many thou sands of postal workers of work. The farmer could devote the time hither to employed In reading, to hoeing, and raise more stuff to sell to Uie unemployed, who are out of money with which to purchase agricultural products. Who can remember the good old daya, when a cltlicn with nothing to do, opened another service atatlon. Instead of running for office. KEVERSB I'.NOI.ISH We note aa we read, men with china that recede Are always prognathotia In print; Ken with Jaws thst stick out and whose whtsper's a shout Write pale stud of psclftst tint. Men with hair on the chest aeldom write of the west; tf ao, they are never convincing, lien hairless and mild write words woolly and wild; They never could speak without wincing. Chape painfully shy when the ladles are by Will akin 'em alive In the papers; Keep this law well In mind aa you read and you'll find It accounts for some comical capers, (Exchange) "Voters, ONE day more, and ai far as this paper ia concerned, the campaign is over. For there ia a law, and a wise law against any sort of electioneering on election day, which this paper has always scrupulously observed. Partly, due to this law, there is usually an attempt to dis tribute last minute poison, so late on the day before election, that no refutation can be made. Such tactics are prima facie evidence, that the charges are contemptible cowards. For if the charges were true, and could stand the light of day, they would have been used early in the campaign. The fact they were not so used, is convincing evidence, that knowing they were false, the circulators didn't DARE use them. ' CO beware, Mr. and Mrs. Voter. If you hear or read, late tomorrow night, that this candidate kidnapped the Lind bergh baby,, or that candidate tea, DON'T BELIEVE IT I More than that, don't fail calculated to benefit by it. For the correction of this abuse like the correction of most political abuses, rests absolutely with the people; not with the newspapers, not with the public leaders, but with the rank and file with, if you please, MR. AND MRS. AVERAGE VOTER. Just as long as Mr. and Mrs. Average Voter fall for such tactics, such tactics will be used j the moment they show, they won't fall for it, that they are too smart to be taken in by it' such tactics will be DROPPED. Our Final Word L S the campaign ends, the Mail Tribune stands precisely where it stood when the campaign started. We have no ticket to propose. No favorites to boost. This a primary, not a final election. The Republicans are selecting tne'r candidates ; the Democrats 'that this newspaper, or any other, has to tell them HOW to : vote. We DO believe it ia a newspaper's function and duty, to th ajj tJj gallcnt ;nformation available, concerning the B ' , candidates, so they may vote with as much intelligence and discrimination as possible. That information we have tu.0Ugh j,rie sketches of the candidates written by members . . . of our own staff, but through communications to our "letter b wr;tten by th candidates and their friends. There has ' . . . , , , . been a great mass of tnia information. We feel sure that out f jt memberg of both parties- have been able to get a pretty , ' . , r ... . ... , .. .. clear idea of what the candidates are like, and the ones they I prefer. WHAT we said at the opening of the campaign, we repeat now. When you go to the polls on Friday, don't vote in haste, in hatred, or in fear. Think it over CALMLY. Think i each candidate over CAREFULLY. Use the same discretion, common sense and enlightened self interest you would use if you were seleoting employees in your own business, or your own household. For after all, Jackson county IS your own business. You are a stockholder in it. Whether it is administered honestly, justly and efficiently in the future depends to a large extent upon how you, and your fellow for only the candidates selocted now will be available in November. IS this candidate honest t Is he capable! Is he the man to whom you would gladly turn over your own affairs! If he is then vote for him. If he isn't, then for the love of Mike don't vote for him. Far better not to vote at all, than vote for a candidate you can't believe in, for that only means selecting a government you can't believe in. TPIIAT'S all. First and foremost, character. Second, ability. With these two all important factors constantly in view, we have no fear about the outcome of this primary election. For a primary conducted on THAT basis, and in THAT spirit, can't fail to mark a forward step in the political history of Jackson county, which will in more efficient government eventually benefit in a very material way, EVERY RESIDENT IN ITI A Victory for Good Gov't A DIRECTED verdict of acquittal for Mayor Bnker and asso- oiatea of Portland Friday, ia a welcome breath of fresh air in the stifling atmosphere of pre-primary politics. This case was morely cheap politics, as the attempted recall of Baker is merely cheap politics. By cheap politics we mean an attempt by a few self seeking politicians, to capitalize the prevailing discontent and unrest to their own advantage. They had no real case against Baker legally, they had no real case politically, but they figured the people of Portland were in the mood to swallow the time-honored plea of "turn the rascals out," and these vague and absolutely unwarranted charges of graft and cookedness, were made out of whole cloth, to bolster up the effort. This directed verdict should now prove to everyone in the state, the truth of the above statement. For directed verdicts are rare in this day and age. When a court in any caso in which politics is involved, orders an acquittal without trial, it demon states that the judge couldn't find justification, for continuing thofarce, even on purely technical grounds. This failure of a few disgruntled political "outs" to get "in'" via the character-assassination route in Portland, should not only clear the atmosphere up there but throughout the state. It should also encourage those who have not yet lost their faith that the coming primary will demonstrate once more the fundamental discretion and good sense of the people.

We read with suitable dis dain that it is necessary to stop the killing of rhinoceros. With out protection they would soon become extinct. Natives hunt them for the horns to which they attribute "powerful magic." We say to ourselves "how silly to kill such gigantic ani mals merely to get magic horns, when there is no magic." Then we remember that tens of thousands of beautiful elk have been slaughtered, by men that simply wanted to get their teeth, the animal being left to rot on the ground. Not all the savages are in Africa. Russia, realizing that commerce la something more than a "mere capi talistic Invention for the enrichment of the few" allows peasanta to seU grain and meat, markets are organ ized, and Russia la pleased. There la not much pleasure In having rubles If you can't apend them, or In raising pigs If you cant seU pork. That may not be perfect "communism" but that Is how human beings are made. This change In Russia's policy would seem to Indicate success for Stalin. Aa men become successful, they become more conservative. Varloua mlnda Interpret In varloua ways the news that comes out of Russia, but there cannot be two opinions about this. Russia has three times as many newspapers today as she had under the czars, and ten times aa many newspaper readers, "Pravda" published In Moscow, of ficial organ of the communist party, has a dally circulation of 3,300,000. "lavestla" another Russian official or gan, sells two million papers a day, "The Peasants' Gazette" published every three days, circulates three mil lion copies, and haa In addition, fif teen regional editions, besides Its edi tion of three millions. There Is no free press In Russia, which means that there Is no reliable aafety valve. But at least the people are reading. Today the Osservatore Romano In Rome, will print the pope's encyclical asking the world to pray for relief from "today'a sad condition of the human race." Summaries of the encyclical will be broadcast In varloua languages. It recommends world prayer especially In June, a month consecrated to the "sacred heart." War against religion, which Is sav age In Russls, persistent In Spain and Mexico, continues In the last country. The governor of Mlchoacan an nounces that the number of priests la limited to thirty three In the enormous territory over which he rules, and no bishop, archbishop or delegate can officiate religiously. The new lew excludes from active religious service the papal legate. Archbishop Rula Y Plores, who Is from Mlchoacan and cannot officiate In his own state. Mr. Mills, secretary of the-treasury, and Eugene Meyer, Jr.. head of the federal reserve board, agree that It would be a mistake to order the fed eral reserve to keep pouring out money until the dollar'a purchaalng power comes down to the 1836 level. The government couldn't restore 1938 prices If It tried, Mr. Mills says. The dollar would be made cheap without necessarily making products more valuable. Mr. Mills and Mr. Meyer, both able flnanclere, agree that you can cut down the value of the dollar but you cant put up the value of products. The public begins to think that no body really knows anything about money, especially when trouble comes. An Individual known as one of the Norfolk. Va., negotiators," who csused Colonel Lindbergh much trouble and anxiety In an attempt to recover his child, haa confessed that his story concerning the baby was a hoax, and that he had trumped up a yarn about a "mysterious boat at sea, and various people aboard her." There may be no law to punish one guilty of such a hosx. but there should be such a law. More Interesting and Important than the hoax perpetrated by what was, perhsps, a diseased mind. Is the fact thst In another direction Colonel Lindbergh waa persuaded to pay aso, 000 to an Individual whom he never saw, supposed to be located In a graveyard. Whoever got the money kept It, and sent Colonel Lindbergh ' on a wild goose chsse that produced , no resulta. That "Incident" should b Investigated thorcughly. Advertising Is a great power.

A TYPHOID CARRIER THR Our eastern reader write: It haa been my privilege for the laat five years to live neighbor to a woman who Is listed by the health depart- ni e n t as a ty phoid carrier. Her husband died from the disease end 16 cases have ben traced to her. Two years ago ah e took boarders but the health author ities required her to cease. Now ah la operating lodging house for tourists. At the present time the celebrated radio feature troupe (never mind names) are staying there while broadcasting from a local atatlon and appearing in nearby theaters. Ai: last summer auto tourists from all parts of the country were guests and the typhoid carrier generally served breakfast to her guests. The town haa no sewage system and the drain from the lodging house empties Into an old well a hundred yards away and when this becomes filled the drainage empties on top of the ground. In the town sewage Is disposed of by means of septic tanks, The woman owns a farm which ahe is not allowed to operate, besides sev eral other pieces of real estate, so there. Is no dire need of her taking tourists or otherwise exposing the traveling public to the risk of ty phoid Infection. The local towns people are well aware of the condl tlona and will not allow her to pre pare or handle any food for church suppers or other public entertain ments, but Innocent people come and go at their own peril. The health officer in this town is over 80 years old and pays little at tention to the case. A year or more ago a minister died here of typhoid fever, and the source of his infection was not traced. Why not from this known carrier, who goes Into markets and handles the food there exposed for sale, as well aa the produce on hucksters' carts? I am not writing this as a com plaint, but to apprise you of the facts so that you may give me sound ad vice. Of course I am chiefly inter ested in protecting my own health and tne neaitn of my ramlly. For Instance, do we run any risk in taking occasional meals in a res taurant to which this known typhoid carrier haa access? Is there any par ticular precaution we can take In case we are thrown Into involuntary con' tact with the carrier? X would not wish to have my name used, but am aignlng It nevertheless. (End of correspondent's letter.) So much for the known carrier. Then, too, there are probably many carriers who are not as yet detected, Anyone who haa once had typhoid fever may continue to give off the typnoid bacilli for many years after ward, although himself fully recover ed from the Illness. It seems that in a small share of cases the germs lodge permanently In some focus of Infec tion auch aa a gall-sac, and are given off constantly or Intermittently thru the bilt duct and the Intestine. If the correspondent glvea accur ate description of the .case, it see ma obvious that the atate and municipal health authorities are negligent in protecting the public from the risk of Infection from this carrier. Under the circumstances, probably tne safest course for the correspond ent and her family la Immunization papers possess It, but DON'T USE IT, racy advertise everything except themselves, and the value of advertis ing, which ia the greatest force for restoration of prosperity. Z. Robert Clary, of the Olendale News Press, Olendale, Calif., aays: "If newspapers would devote half as much space to advertising themselves as they are now devoting to advertis ing the depression they would do well." A sound suggestion. - It was expected yesterday that the building etrlke in New York would be settled and that 30,000 men would return to the earning of good wagea, amounting to 300,000 a day for the 30,000. That la good news, for this is hardly a time for prolonged strikes or refusals to arbitrate. Communications Jim Owen for stelwer. To the Editor: From my personal observation I believe Senator Frederick Stelwer to be one of the most capable and effective friends the lumber Industry rtaa in the united states Senate.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Raw Eggs. How to regain my nerve strength . . . Is raw eggs and milk good? Mrs. D. M. C. Answer There Is no such thing as nerve energy or exhaustion of the nerves. - Therefor, you can't - regain what you cant lose. Raw milk Is a fine food If pure, say oertlfled milk. Raw eggs are rather less nourishing and digestible than eggs cooked to one's taste. Yellow Spot on Eyelid. Have had a large yellow spot on my eyelid tor two years. M. Told It be longs to the wart family and It Is too flat to be removed by surgery. Is there any possible way to remove It with home remedies? S. L. Answer I sdvlse you' never to monkey with any spot, wart or other little blemish In the skin of the face, head or neck. The only sensible and safe plan Is to leave all such treat ment to the eklll of your physician. The flatness of the lesion on your eyelid does not render It more dif ficult to remove by surgery, painless surgery, under local anesthesia. Obituary of Middle Finger. Yesterday afternoon as I sat read ing I noticed my second finger get ting numb and the color leaving It gradually till the finger looked and felt dead. I got some hot water and after working It for a while It came back to normal. There was no further trouble until after dinner to- night when the same thing happen ed, but this time It got all right when I washed the dishes with hot water . . . Mrs. F. S. Answer "Dead fingers" or Ray naud's affection. 'Your description Is good. The treatment you use Is the best we know. In some cases there is an underlying factor, chronic ar senic poisoning, from prolonged ex posure to arsenic In certain occu pations and sometimes In the home wall-paper colors may contain ar senic, and fur dyes, and sometimes cosmetic preparations or medicines are the source. I cannot Instruct you how to diagnose or detect chronic arsenic poisoning. Ask your phy sician about It. Ventilation. Our eighth grade- science class in school bad a discussion of ven tilation. Please give us your advice on the comparative value of mechan ical ventilation and rlndow ventila tion. H. R. Answer For ordinary rooms or houses or small buildings, window ventilation Is better, with unbleach ed muslin screens where snow, wind, rain, dust or cold must be excluded. For very large buildings or rooms where fumes are produced, mechan ical ventilation Is better. Copyright John F.

Talks H& Parents OPERATIONS Nearly every child at on time or another has to go through a more or less serious operation. He must sub mit himself to an anaesthetic, and awake to pain and a feeling of ghast ly illness. Such an experience Is . bound to carry some psychological shock. If It is badly managed the effects may be far reaching. Picture how the experience of tak ing ether seems to the child who Is unprepared. There is the stage set ting of strange white-coated figures, the glittering steel and white room. Someone puts a cage over your face, and there is a dreadful sensation like suffocation, a buzzing confusion and a horrible sinking into oblivion. What roust the child's reaction to this be if he meets It unprepared? Pear, frantic terror, the feeling that he has been betrayed by those he trusted, and an impotent rage and u.u This la not good for his morale and future Illnesses. Almost surely It will leave a raw ..... f .tn.eonlsm toward the par ents who deceived and (aa he feels, unconsciously) exposed mm va ex treme cruelty and suffering. The child should be told In ad vance that It Is necessary for the doctor to do certain things to him .hih wmiiri hurt him dreadfully If he were awake while they were be ing done. For this reason he must try not to mind too much breathing In the sweet smell which will put blm into a deep sleep from which he will not w.k. until all the very bad part Is over. Most children will accept such sn explanation ana wiu a reauy ui prlslngly brave and sensible through the ordeal. Afterwarda there will be a minimum of undesirable reaction. Notice. Medford.
