AN OPEN LETTER
Salem, Oregon.
June 18, 1093.
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.

Put Up or Shut Up!
"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

IN THE 8PBINQ TMKOLD TIMEB'g FANCY.
April 38 was the opening date this
year. On that day the flrat inquiry
arrived. 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.

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
