Dear Editor: 1 am up here In the Big House, and as 1 hsve a lot of time on my hands I thought I would let you know, that I am still alive and unhappy, due to the Infamous Jury system. X have giv en a lot of thought to the Jury sys tem, and I sure am disgusted with tt, and the other C34 boys here feel the ssme way. I have tried out the Jury system three times, and each time It failed to work, as my lawyer or me. thought It should. My cellmate tried the Jury system out four times, and he also reports It a complete failure, though once he had a cousin on the Jury, and they stayed out two days, and one hour. The first time I met a Jury, I was innocent, and they acquitted me. The other three times I was gull ty, and that Jury up and convicted me. So you see you never can tell what a Jury will do, unless you are Innocent or guilty. X have talked to everybody In here, and not a one Is guilty. la It any wonder I have a low opinion of the Jury system X must admit It was Okay the time Jim shot me back of the still. The Judge gave him 18 yesrs. He has been out seven years, and has not ahot anybody since. The country should get rid of the Jury system right away, and I know H would not get a vote here. Us fel ons I u.?an fellows should be turn ed loose, It we get caught again, our consclencei, will punish us, better then the law. A lot of folks with a pine-knot for a heart, think this would not click, but It Is worth a trial. Tou know the kind of a trial X mean. Everybody knows there are better men In Jail, than cut of Jail, and If I had my way the Jury that bit me, would be up here right now. I will be out In 1041, along In the spring, and It the Jury system la still used, believe me, I am going to work, and not take any more chanca with It. So Long, Your friend. WM. LAWLESS. No. 18,783.

"The District Attoraey, hla deputy and his friends fsllad to appear In the "Once la a While" column yesterday in defense of the chsrges laid at their door In this column. - "Without doubt these gentlemen prefer to try cases In duly established courts of Justice . . ."Dally News. UNDOUBTEDLY 1 That is where all citizens accused of crimes prefer to be tried. Nor is this the first time the Daily News has acknowledged this important truth, that the place to determine the truth or falsity of criminal charges is not in the columns of the newspaper RESPONSIBLE for those charges, but before a judicial and impartial tribunal as pro vided by law. ON May 31st the editor of the News enthusiastically wel comed the calling of the new grand jury, demanded a verdict on its charges that law and order had so completely broken down in Jackson county that a vigilance committee should be appointed, and went explicitly on record as follows: "A new grand Jury la now In session and the law governing grand Juries Is explicit, clean cut and undeniable every honest citizen should be willing to abide by the law." The law IS explicit, clean cut and undeniable. It places the power of deciding whether criminal charges are true or false, whether they are properly supported by evidence or not so supported, upon the shoulders of the grand jury. We agree and we believe all fair minded citizens of Jack son county agree, that every honest citizen SHOULD be willing to abide by that law. But as everyone knows the Medford News did not do what it had urged all honest citizens to do. The grand jury which the News welcomed, and whose verdict it declared all honest citizens should abide by, handed down the following clear-cut .statement: "We have Investigated chargea of miscarriages of Justice In the office of District Attorney, and other county offices and we find these charges unsupported by any Incriminating evi dence." (Signed) Joslah O. Hlbbard, Butte Falls. Irving Porter, Ashland. Anne E. Carley, Medford. i W. M. Barber, Ashland. Leo B. Williams, Medford. Reed Charley, Browneboro. The editor of the News not only refused to abide by this verdict, he branded the six members of that jury EITHER as perjurers, signing their names true OR as spineless tools of an unscrupulous and dominating District Attorneys "I declare that the Grand Jury under the domination of the office of District Attorney, "whitewashed" and abused the In- -telltgence of the citizens of Jackson county by ignoring the . serious charges of miscarriages of Justice placed at their disposal by the owner and publisher of the Medford Dally News." This was not only a serious charge against the members of this grand jury, but a grave indictment against the Integrity of our entire citizenship which is drawn by lot to make up our grand jury system. Josiah Q. Hibbard, foreman of this grand jury, denied the truth of this charge and demanded a "correction" in a signed public statement in part as follows : ' Medford Dally News, Medford, Oregon. Your recent attacks on the grand Jury and district attorney of Jackson county have come to my attention, wherein you accuse the Jury of not investigating mutters which you put be fore them. In other words you accuse them of violating their solemn oaths of office. So thst the people of Jackson county may know the truth, I wish to state that the grand Jury Investigated all matters brought to their attention by you and all other parties, and tool, appropriate action where the facta warranted it. Furthermore, the grand Jury waa not Influenced In Its de liberation by any person, but conducted its session over a period of ten (10) dsys with the object in view of ascertaining the tacts In all cases before It. JOSIAH O, HIBBARD, . Instead of making any correction the News repeated its charges and there the matter now rests, a QUESTION OF VERACITY between tho foremnn of the grand jury and the editor of the Medford News. LTHOUGH the News has repeatedly denied that its charges against the District Attorney, and now against the mem bers of the grand jury are entiroly for political effeot, (a smoke screen behind which it inteds to elect a District Attor ney of its own choosing) the fact remains that the News is now willing to leave the truth or falsity of its eharges to the noise and fury of a bitter POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. The News declares it "Is useless, under existing conditions, to present further charges" and maintains the verdict as to whether a man is an honest citizen or a criminal should be settled at the polls. Does the News REALLY believe that if Mr. George Codding SHOULD be elected that his election would PROVE the falsity of the charges the News hns made against him, and against the members of the grand jury I We can't believe that is its view. If it is, it is a view to which this paper can rot subscribe. KJO, let's drop trying criminal cases in the newspapers, and let's drop trying criminal cases on the political stump. We aro tired of it and we believe all right thinking people of Jackson county are tired of it. When law and order in a community have broken down, when law enforcement officers can't be trusted, when regular grand juries can't be trusted, there is ONLY ONE COURSE FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE SUCH A CONDITION EXISTS TO PURSUE, a course prescribed by precedent, by law and by common senso. Namely : for those who honestly believe euch a public calam ity has come about, to appeal to the Governor of the state to appoint a SPECIAL PROSECUTOR, call a SPECIAL GRAND JURY, and establish the truth of these charges once aud for all. If such a grand jury, under such a prosecutor, appointed by a governor this paper has opposed should sustain these criminal chargea, return indictments against those guilty of them, the Mail Tribune not only pledges itself to abide by that verdict, bs all honest citizens should do but it pledges itself to do everything in its power to bring these criminals in public office, or OUT, TO JUSTICE, AND SEND THEM TO PRISON where they belong! That is fair, isn't itt It is not the duty of those who DONT believe such condi tions of lawlessness exist, to demand the expense of such action ; it is the duty the INESCAPABLE duty of those who DO. OW if the News refuses to do this, and after admitting it is A" useless to present further charges, CONTINUE TO PRESENT THEM, then certainly the people of Jackson oounty can draw their own conclusions, m to whether these charges are offered iu good fuith or for POLITICAL PURPOSES ALONE 1 I to a document that was not Personal Health Service By William Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to disease, diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady If a stamped self-addressed envelope la enclosed.

Minnesota reader asked me to advise him of a spring tonic with the use of sulphur and Just how to mix and take It. ' This season the p r o p o r tlon of such Inquiries in the mall was d 1 s 1 1 nctly less than It has been In former sea eons. It looks as tho the old timers are gradually relinquishing their venerable tradi tions. Ho-hum, what a dull world this will be when all those fine old romantic notions have gone a-gllm-merlng. Sulphur Is a laxative. It has no appreciable effect other than that. Probably sulphur Is not absorbed Into the blood at all when taken aa sulphur, but only when It is present In natural chemical com pounds In such foods aa eggs, beans, meat, cheese, fish, milk, peas, wheat flour, oatmeal and potatoes. There Is comparatively little aulphur In the human body, about one-fourth as much sulphur as phosphorus, for example, and about one-eighth as much sulphur as calcium (lime.) The only effect of sulphur taken In medicinal dose Is laxative. A favorite old "spring tonic" mixture waa equal quantltlee of aulphur and molasses, and the old timers took from a teaspoonful to a tablespoon ful of this once or twice dally for a few weeks In the spring when the ice went out and they were onoe more able to visit the grocery. Mo lasses Is mildly laxative, too, and some of the awful stuff that Is sold under the fair name of mo lasses nowadays contains enough sul phur or brimstone to admit It to the Old Nick's table, I should think. The sulphur in this dlabollo fluid known as molasses today Is a con tribution made In the form of sul phurous acid used In the manufac ture or refining of sugsr. The fa mous old "New Orlesns" molasses was the product of the msnufacture of sugar In the old-fashioned way. In the open kettle and without vacuum pans, centrifugal separation and chemlcala. This fine palatable old-fashioned molasses is now hard to obtain, but fortunately may atui be had, and it beats modern mixed syrups as a table delicacy or for pepping up the kids' bread and nut ter. Sulphur is prescribed aa a laxa tive In cases where soft, mushy ef feot are required. Powdered aul phur mixed with powdered senna leaves snd powdered licorice con stitutes the familiar compound Hco. rice powder which la still used as a laxative, following childbirth and hemorrhoid operations. Washed sulphur Is the only kind suitable for Internal use. Sublimed or precipitated sulphur Is for External use. Sulphur In the form of a well made ointment (In which the sul phur ts quite extinguished, that Is. no particle can be felt between the fingers) Is still the best remedy we have for dandruff and for aca- blea (old-fashioned Itch). 8o far as we know, however, eulphur la without value as a remedy for other conditions than scabies where Itching happens to be a symptom, (Scabies is a parasitic Infestation of the akin, and the aulphur kills the parasites, Itch mites, which bur row under the cuticle.) i nave concluded that It la Impossible to instruct people how to employ sul phur as a remedy for scabies, with out personsl supervision by the phy sician. I mean that the doctor's attendance Is essential for successful results. So don't waata your time and poatage asking me for further Instructions. Ask your doctor. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Orthodontia.

Today By Arthur Brisbane Sidewalks of Chicago, A Cup of Coffee, Please. Ladles That Mean It, Revealing-Fingernails, Copyright King Features Synd, Inc. CHICAGO, HI., June 14. From other columns in this newspaper you will gather in formation concerning the Re publican convention which stated today very gently. A national convention dull, with everything known in advance like this one, or full of strange possibilities as the Democratic convention may be, interests all of us. It shows the machin ery of "self government." These conventions represent political organizations and po litical ambitions. The people of the United States are as far from the proceedings as the people of Thibet. Depression, unemployment, worry that drives to suicide, are the day's problems. You see thi solution for many when, Just esst of the Sus quehanna river, on the way to Chi cago for New York, you see from the window on the Pennsylvania railroad's "Broadway Limited" a nar row little red house In the middle of a forest clearing. In 1939 you might have said: "My, how terribly lonely." Todsy, seeing the man and woman In their garden, with two or three children playing around the little wooden house, beans, corn, potatoes, pess and spin ach, sprouting from the generous earth, you aay: "What peace, what security." Perhaps our depression wlU make some of us better acquainted with the earth on which we live, less ac quainted wltti extravagance and lta foolishness. Wonderfully Invigorating air In Chicago, and you feel like walking many miles along sidewalks on which In former days no Chlcagoan ever went alowly. The rule doea not hold good today. Three times In one block a slowly moving man says, as you psss, and as though It were all one word, "Ten cents for a cup of coffee, please." That has become the formula, as on public highways, a backward perk ing of the thumb means- a request tor an automobile ride. If you con tribute the ten centa, or more, you rarely make a mistake, but you can see it Is not expected. A shake of the hesd Is the ususl answer. The world becomes accustomed, even to misery. Crossing a bridge over the river, you look up at the enormous building In which Samuel Insull has housed the Opera of Chicago, contributing a fortune to It, and you know that (Continued on Page Twelve) Hot Weather SPECIALS Cash Prices Mean Savings for You Peel Porch or Light and $4.85 Wicker Porch Set, Settee, Chair and Rocker, green or orange $2475 Lawn Glider, Steel Frame, link spring construction, padded seat and back $11.50 Tear Drop Ice Tea Glasses 2 for 15c Samson, 2-plate, Electric Hot Plate, guaranteed $7-95 Ice Water Pitchers 39c Green Glass Orange Reamers 15c Green Glass Lemon Reamer and Pitcher 20c Easy Payments on Home Furnishings ..IMJE inn EDFORD FURNITURE S HDWE.
