Medford NaUonal-Bank BuUdlng, Phone M. The People Are Tired of It Burely there la enough of constructive and necessary labor, even In thla time of depression, to engage the thought and effort of all worthwhile people. Certainly thla la no time to vent spleen, cast invectives and auggest evil Innuendo. All need help, not hindrance; light, not ahadow; encouragement, not aspersion. WITH that sentiment, taken from a communication by J. M. Johnson of Central Point, in Friday's issue, the Mail Tribune heartily agreei. Never more than now, do we need the spirit of friendly help and cooperation, of team play and progressive leadership, which has always distinguished Medford and the Rogue Eiver valley in the past, and more than any other one factor, has been responsible for its growth, prosperity and advancement. "PHIS CONSTANT mud slinging and bickering, not only does no good, it does real harm. Instead of improving condi tions which are not any too good it makes them worse. This does not mean we should lie down together like lambs, and lull ourselves to sleep by chanting Polyana lullabys. There is work to be done and important tasks to perform. Nor does it mean, there isn't room for honest differences of opinion, or fighting for things, worth fighting for. e e e e DUT it DOES mean, that fighting merely for the sake of fichting and solely for the purpose of gaining selfish political ends, is not only bad for the community, but a silly waste of time. A S previously stated in this column many times, if Jackson county WERE honeycombed with vice and corruption, if law and order HAD broken down, if conditions were even HALF as bad, as the mud slinging brigade maintains, the Mail Tribune would join in a clean-up campaign at once, and do everythiiig.in its power to drive the crooks and boodle snatchors from office, and put them in prison where they belong. But conditions AREN'T half as bad. They are not ONE-1IALF-OF-ONE-PERCENT as bad. AND EVERY FAIR MINDED CITIZEN IN JACKSON COUNTY KNOWS IT! In fact it is doubtful if there is any other section of the state, which has, all in all, been governed as honestly, as effici ently, and as free from vice and corruption, as Medford and Jackson county during the past ten or twenty years. THERE have been mistakes, of course. It would be a miracle if during such a period of time, some undesirable men had not been placed in office. But BY AND LARGE, not only our government today, but in the past, has been remarkably free from dishonesty and corruption. In fact it has been some thing of which we should all be proud, instead of ashamed; a brand of unselfish publio service we should endeavor to sustain, instead of besmirch and tear down. In this community and every other, there are enough real evils to be fought, without wasting energy and valuable time, fighting IMAGINARY ones There is enough real constructive work to be done, without wasting time and energy, building up political straw men, just for the pleasure of tearing them down again. So we again agree with our Central Point correspondent when he pleads: ...... ''' "Let us hava a respite. Let us try to call off the hounds for a while." ; He is tired of it. The Mail Tribune is tired of it. We feel certain the people of Jackson county as a whole, are tired of it. There will be enough noise and fury when the presidential campaign begins. Let us enjoy at least a lucid and self respect ing interval, until that time. ' ' Something to Get Behind A S AN example of an important task before this community, is the matter of providing property for those who are suf fering and out of work. Here ia a social obligation that must be met. With harvest ing of the pear crop only six weeks away, with the opening of the Owen sawmill also scheduled for that time the problem should not be a critical one during the summer and early fall. But next winter it probably will be. And we heartily agree with those who believe that the matter of a county' wide organi zation should at least be CONSIDERED at this time. a e "TOMORROW night at the Presbyterian church, a mass meet- ing will be held to go over all details of such an organiza tion. The preliminary plans call for a program, which is as original as it ii promising. It is based primarily upon barter, rather than money the exchange of one commodity for auoth er, and the exchange of labor for both. Its outstanding purpose is to insure the necessities of life to those who are ready and willing to work, but are or have been unable to find work. . . 'TPIIE problem is a complex oue, and requires the most careful study and consideration. Some of the theories now ad vanced may prove impractical when put into practice, others deomed impractical now, may stand the test of experience. But the main thing and the big thing is to get SOME THING started, and to get the people of the community as a whole behiud it. Toward this end the two supreme needs, are intelligent leadership and a revival of Medford a old time co operative spirit, . , Given half a chance, the peoplo of Medford and Jackson county can, in spite of the political snake dancers SUPPLY BOTH. 'STRADDLE' AVERS SECRETARY STATE CHICAGO, June ia (API Secre tary of State Henry L. Stlmaon aeea In the republican plank on prohibi tion a "well founded' program to re tain the beneflta derived from the lath amendment and eliminate the evil. Vlgoroualy defending the plank In a radio address, he aald last night that it waa so "straddle." "It la perfectly consistent," he aald. "perfectly definite and perfectly logi cal. It la well founded In law and fact. He criticised Senator Blngham'a minority proposal for outright repeal aa "an Impatient demand to abrogate the entire work of the past IS yeara under the prohibition amendment, and to confess It to be an entire failure." To condemn Indiscriminately with out disentangling the gaina from the evils, would be, he said, an act of social folly." e - Card of Thanks We wish to thank the Spanish American War veterans and the Spanish-American auxiliary for the flowera and help given at the time !of the death of our beloved husband and father. Mra. Mary Weston Catherine Weston. Today - By Arthur Brisbane Republicans Confess, Ocean Air Mail, " The Morning After Old Man Calculus, Copyright King Features Synd Inc. After a party young people sit up to talk it over. After a political convention, all politicians and some of the people talk it over. Much discussion of the pro hibition plank, and there is complaining. The plank, to the average man. is about as plain as Spencer's definition of evo lution, which, written from memory, on this Pennsylvania trains, runs as follows: Evolution is an integration of matter and a concomitant dissipation of motion, during which the matter passes from an indefinite, incoherent homo ganeity to a definite coherent heterogeneity, "and during which the retained motion un dergoes a parallel transforma tion. Asked by the writer to put his definition In words readily under stood. Herbert Spencer replied that any one to whom his definition was not perfectly clear could not possibly understand evolution, therefore It was useless to rewrite It. . The main thing about the Republi cans' prohibition plank Is their con fession, however Involved, that pro hibition Is a failure. That means a change, and perhaps a gradual elimi nation of the "things gained by pro hibition," Including b o o tie g g 1 n g, racketeering, gang crime organized as a great Industry, drinking of whiskey and gin by high school children, and tha establishment of five secret speakeasies for every open saloon of antl -prohibition days. Control of liquor traffic by the government will replace control by criminals, and gigantic liquor reve nues will help pay taxes Instead of financing wholesale crime. Congratulations to tha house, to Mr. Owner, Mr, Rayburn for passing the Crosser bill authorizing contracts for sending ma,tl to Europe by dirig ible, and congratulations to Mr. Cros ser, of Ohio, author of th bill. Pri vate enterprise Is prepared to con struct dirigibles to make the Euro pean round trip, with mall and pas sengers In one week, stops In Europe and America Included. The ocean trip will be made In two days at first, more rapidly later. With all our depression, this na tion should lesd In such enterprises and there Is no doubt that dirigible fast mall, at three or four times the usual charge, will tax the dirigible's capacity and yield great profit to the government. An Italian, using a plane kept strictly secret as to Its construction, has flown four hundred and thirty miles In an hour, beating the world record held by Britain. Mussolini knows that future wars will be won In the air and under water, and his government finances Intelligent flying Ideas. This coun try should follow suit. A plane going 430 miles an hour, fueled for long flight, could, and some day will, crosa the ocean In seven hours. That would not give us much time to get ready.

He showed complete Indifference, refus ing to make any appeal to the king. Yeeterdsy both these men were shot In the back. That was supposed to make death more horrible, by hu miliation, because cowards, shot while running away, are shot in the back.

She thought there must be some thing that had soured my out look on life. No, no, I Just spent 16 years at the general practice of medicine and family doctoring. One of my early patients had a Colle's fracture the familiar break of the forearm bone Just above the wrist. I waited till he was back at work and then broke the sad news that I required 925 as my fee.. To this the patient de murred. He opined ten bucks was plenty. I called his attention to the perfect functional result and the short period of disability and all that. But he was quite firm that ten berries was sufficient for hay for my horse. My goodness that would buy enough hay to run the horse for a month or more. Besides, wasn't I Just a young doctor and didn't I make my money easily. But X still argued that some of the old doctors might have kept the arm In splints two weeks longer and left It 20 degrees stlffer and still asked as must as I did for the Job. So fi nally the patient settled the argu ment by showing me that the wrist was perceptibly thicker than the un injured one, which proved that my repair work was a shade leas beauti ful than the Creator's original sculp ture so we hsd to settle for $18.75. Cataract patients not my patients. I wouldn't know what to do with a cataract patient in any case often remind me of the fracture patient who waa not satisfied with my Job. They writ in to tell me all about It and how some friend knows a man who once heard of a miracu lous cure of cataract after aU the doctors had given the victim up a hopelessly blind . . and even if one should have the operation the doctor advises, isn't it true the patient has to wear strong spectacles in order to see well? Yes, It Is true. When you remove the crystallne lens from the eye, you can't expect the eye to function satisfactorily- without an artificial lens to take the place of the natural one you have discarded. Patients operated on for cataract after the older method which la still used by many eye surgeons in this country must wear not only strong spherical lenses, but usually thousand millions to the national debt. This Is the morning after. Everything In a material way is made easy for us. President Hoover will not be compelled to travel about, as candidates once had to do. He may stay at his Rapldan camp and talk to all America by radio. And such talking Is more effective than any barn-stormtng campaign. Your audience sits quietly at home, listen ing. There is no heckling. Sound argu ments, facta convincingly presented win, without torchlight parades or braying bands. But you must have the FACTS to present. 1 Russlsn scientist are exploring a sunken city In the Black sea, sup posed to be "Old Cheronesus".

Patients operated on after the Smith Indian method, which la used by many of the more progres sive oculists, often do not require the cylindrical lenses, because there is little or no astigmatism left by the Smith Incision, but all must put on their strong spherical lenses when they wish to read or do close work In comfort. This is a pretty poor excuse for postponing or avoiding a cataract operation, however. It la too much like the attitude of my Colic's frac ture patient. It la unpleasant to realize It, but there are people who rather like to be helpless, depend ent and recipient of pity, when they might regain their independence and self-respect. QI ESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Skinny Wlnny Grows Plump. May I say a few words for your weight gaining method. Up to two years ago I was what you call a holy fright, but not from choice. I was 64 4 inches tall and weighed Just 109 pounds. I followed your instructions about eating before going to bed took a chocolate milk shake to which I added one-half pint of cream, also usually a slice of bread and butter. I did this faithfully every day for four months and my weight went up 12 pounds. Today I weigh 135. Our family doctor as sured me I never could gain as I was the thin type. Now when I stand before a mirror and look at my curves which I like to doI always say Long Live Dr. Brady. Mrs. P W. G. Answer Alas, a lot of Skinny Win nies are doomed to stay that way. But if you can catch 'em before they've gone sour, there is always a fair chance to endow the poor things with curves and smiles. I really think it is largely a question of temperament. Non-Explodable Superstition. Can you tell me where I can get a pamphlet or book that will ex plode the Idea some people have that an unborn baby may be "mark ed" if the mother suffers any fright, shock or emotional excitement or sees any unpleasant thing . . F. C.A. Answer That superstition Is diffi cult to explode. I know of no par ticular pamphlet or book. People who believe In "marking" are not susceptible of enlightenment or edu cation. Any one who studies em bryology (the growth and develop ment of the young prior to birth, cannot fall to see how absurd the superstition of "marking is. (Copyright John F.

Main Upstairs parents A JEALOUS WINH By Alice Judson reals A kindergarten child built a bed of wooden block. "Look," he called to the teacher. "This is a bed and on It is lying a naughty girl. She climbed up to the window sill when she shouldn't and now I have covered her all up with sfme so thst she la dead. Pretty soon." he finished with a beaming face, "they will be coming to fetch her away." The day before, thla little boy and his sister had been reprimanded by their mother for climbing upon the window sill. In the light of this oc currence It Is quite obvious who the "naughty little girl must have rep resented. Although nothing in the boy's behavlous had betrayed his Jealousy of her, through the license of play his repressed wishes had shown themselves. Such wishes, usual rather than otherwise, are the outcropping of the Jealousy almost universal between brother and sisters. .Sometime with very young children it even expresses Itself In overt acts. In one Instance a 3-year-old boy was found trying to hit his sleeping baby sister with a heavy piece of wood. In another a 4-year-old girl was discovered In the act of smoth erlng the new baby with a pillow. - More often, of course, the child simply puts hi feelings Into words. He look at the new baby and says, "Take it back, we don't need it" 01 That's no good, throw it out the window. It 1 a mistake either to make light of such expressions or to regard them a a sign of a wicked and degenerate nature. But it should be remembered that the more violent they are, the more certain It la that the parents have been un usually tactless and unloving. TO CAPITAL DUTIES WASHINGTON. June 18, (AP Charles G.
