MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, MAY 22, 19 Twenty-Seventh Year No. Comment the on Day's News By FRANK JENKINS JOHN J. Raekob and a group of aaaoclatea, we read In the papers, made a profit of Just under five million dollars In a week's opera tions on the New York stock mar ket in March, 1920. Here Is the thing to remember: They LOST IT before the year was out. . ABNORMALLY big profits on the stock market, which, funda mentally, are gambling profits, are pretty sure to mesn big losses sooner or later. The only kind of business thst really does anybody any good In the long run la the business that CREATES something worth while to satisfy normal human wants, Includ ing JOBS.. AS THESE worda are written, Amelia Earhart Putnam Is taking off for Harbor Grace, New foundland, whence she plans to take off for a flight across the Atlantic .hoping to be the first woman to accomplish that dangerous feat. This writer, while admiring her reckless courage, deplores her Judg ment. STILL, it may be that she has to TRY IT, in order to prove to herself that she Isn't afraid. v At any rate, lt'a her affair, and If ahe is driven by forces that are atronger than she can resist, this writer, for one, isn't going to criti cize. Each of us, after all, must decide ,hla own risks. FLYING the Atlantic, Juat for the glory of it, long after It has been demonstrated that It can be done, appeala to most, of us as a foolish enterprise. . It may be foolish, but at least it Is more commendable than the enterprise of the man who erected a hot dog stand near the Improvised grave of the poor little Lindbergh baby, hoping to snatch a profit from the morbid sightseers who came to look. THESE wordaa're written on the eve of election, and as yet the noise and the shouting have not died down. But they will. People will go to the polls and vote some of them after mature and careful consideration of the Is sues Involved and some of them on the spur of the moment, prompted more by prejudice than by Intelli gent thought and sincere determina tion to serve the greatest good of the greatest number. DEMOCRACY la far from perfect. Still, what human Institution IS perfect? And who are we to criticize? Per ,hsps, after the most careful and logical consideration of all the la sues involved in the election, our considered votes may be no nearer right than votes cast on impulse and sympathy. Sympathy la at least a warmly human qusllty. IN THIS country, we are Inclined to get all worked up over elec tions. We are SURE our man la right, and the other fellow's man all wrong. It'a a great game. STILL, don't laugh at It. It does us good to get sll worked up. About the most terrible thing that can happen to us la to get so wise, so cocksure and so world-weary that we are no longer capable of enthus Isams. When you are no longer capable of enthusiasms, you mlg.1t as well be desd. BASEBALL RESULTS Night game: (10 innings) R. H. K. Portland H 8 Oakland - 8 12 0 Batteries: Peterson.
