Dear Hoove:
' What In the bell Is the matter

and th rowed In a aet of tires to boot.

; never stay in one place long enough

PROVIDENCE OETS IM'SY
(Pleasant Glen Item)
The weather Is fine In our
part of Ood'a country. Have hd
lots of rain, but God knows
best.
The Idea Is still prevalent around
here, that a combination Heaven and
Utopia would be established, If a way
could be devised whereby money la
used when being paid, and whatever-you-happen-to-have-the-most-of
used
when paying. This Is described as a
socialistic notion, but socialism Is not
that nutty. The general plan la sim
plicity Itself. Ssy A works for B.
haying.. B forgets where he burled
Ma money, so he ssys to A: "I owe
you 127.17 wages. Here Is 17c. and
you can take a load ot hay for the
balance, and we are square." A owns
nothing that fits hay, no place to
put It, or a pitchfork to handle It.
B ssys okay. "Let the hay stay where
It Is. and run out end get a couple
of forkfuls when you need some gro
ceries." Now O owes A, and pays
him up with a couple ot cows, so A
drives them out to his hay for supper
and finds out thst hay has gone up,
which lesvea him no fodder, as his
wife has spent the last bale for a
fall bonnet and the kids' school
books. A now baa two cows and no
place to feed or mlik Inem. and nnt.i.
1ng to keep them a.'ive with. The
hayman again comes to the rescue
nd agrees to keep -.he cows all win
ter. If the owner will psy with w;:
all next eumme-, for t:ioir boaid and
pasture. Come sjving. and what hap.
pens. A succumbs to the flu, and
his widow sues the hayman for an
accounting of the money received
from the aale of milk train her late
spouse's cows. The court denies
Jurisdiction, and rules she still owes
the defendant the summer's work her
husband promised for the board of
the cows. Shs pays off the debt by
cooking for the haying crew, marries
the hayman, and he gives her the
cows In question as a wedding gift,
first paying the preacher with a
erlndle calf. And, so this was the
way the Civil War started.
Good
TTOE $3,500,000 gold mina development in Cifrry nnd
A Josephine counties, announced in the Mail Tribune yes
terday, is good news for southern Oregon. The announcement
coming from W. A'. Ilutton of the state mining board, removes
all doubt of its authenticity. The development work will be
done by outside capital, the Pacifio Mineral, Inc., of Detroit,
Michigan making the purchase, and financing the operation.
This development will give employment to many men, and
establish a greatly needed payroll. It should stimulate legiti
mate gold mining operations throughout this section of the
state.
e e e e
F eastern capitalists have sufficient faith in the mineral re-
sources of southern Oregon, to make such a large investment
under present conditions, local capitalists might well follow suit,
and abandon their attitude of skepticism and fear, which has
done so much to discourage mining development in Jackson
county.
Gold is the one soil product that hag not decreased in value,
during this depression. Measured by purchasing power an
ounce of gold today is worth more than at any time "during the
present generation. Finding raw gold is finding "cash-money,"
and results in the stimulation of all business throughout the
district, in which it is found.
EveryQne knows southern Oregon is highly mineralized.
Gold mining may not be a shortcut to IMMEDIATE prosperity,
but it is undoubtedly a step in that direction.
The announcement from Grants Pass should stimulate
LEGITIMATE gold mining operations throughout this section
of the coast.
A Word
"PIIERE is one thing we hope the voters of Jackson county
WON'T DO in the fall election. We hope they won't
follow the example set in the .May primary, and vote blindly
against anyone who happens to hold office.
The logic of this procedure runs something like this times
are hard, business couldn't be worse, those now in office haven't
helped much, so let's have a new deal all around.
TOW it is true that, regardless of party, there are a fair
sprinkling of incompetents holding down public jobs,
federal, state and local. But it is also true that the crowd of
aspirants, to succeed them contains about the same percentage.
It will not improve business, or fruit prices, to turn an
honest and intelligent man out of office and replace him with
a jackasg. But it is one of democracy's weaknesses that the
people, when they are excited and disgruntled, are prone to vote
against candidates rather than for them. They turn public
servants out ot office, simply because times are bad, rather than
the men they elect to replace them, have any superior merit.
e e e e e
llANY highly competent and courageous public servants,
have necessarily antagonized certain individuals in the
performance of their official duties. .They can't expect to
escape their opposition, but they oan expect and SHOULD
HAVE the support of the clear-headed and fair minded ma
jority. If they don't get this what reason will ANY public
servant have, for acting bravely and wisely in a crisis, if his
only reward is to be villified and abused and kicked out, be
cause he HAPPENS to hold office during hard timest
e t e .
A SUPREMELY important
lnnl citnta oriA naiinrtn
people as a whole, develop a capacity to discriminate, to pick
and clfooso, to reward public service when it has been compe
tent and honest and repudiate it only when it has been the
reverse, regardless of what material conditions surround them,
then sooner or later, democracy WILL FAIL1
Tho final decision rests with the people upon you Mr.
Jones, upon you Mrs. Smith,
else upon you, the pcoplo, and no one else.
It's YOUR job and v.o one can do it for you. It is YOUR
responsibility and no one else can shoulder it.
e e e e e
I TN'LESS you and you and you develop this capacity to
discriminate, to see through the smoko screen of design
ing politicians; to resist the blandishments of the rabble rousers,
on one hand; and the hynosis of the times on the other; to
think clearly and act justly, regardless of the noise and fury
about you--
TIIEN OUR AMERICAN DEMOCRACY WILL FAIL, JUST
AS DEMOCRACIES BEFORE IT FAILED, AND FOR THE
SAME REASON:
Because in the last analysis the people failed to develop
those qualities of mind and heart and character, upon which
successful self government rests ; and without which no form of
self government can permanently endure.
The Bridge Racket
DR1DGE players are. in for a headache. They have, after the
battle of a few months ago, just selected one or the other
of the systems, when a truce appears. The "CulberUon" system
and the "official" system seem to have merged under a single
management and are about to bring forth a new Ret of rules
that will be a combination of both. Hard-working bridge rlay
ers, having pored over books and learned how to bid one no
trump and arrive at a little slam in spades, and the rest of the
riddles, are to find out thaj it was all in vain. After all the
wearisome stress, there is to be a new and perhaps more intri
cate game. All that has been learned must be unlearned and a
new beginning made. New books must be purchased and studied
in preparation for the neighborly games of next winter. What

Today
By Arthur Brisbane
Mr, Ochs' Illness,
President Hoover on Beer,
Russia Collapses Slowly,
Plenty of Great Ones,
Copyright King Features Synd, Inc.
It is good news that Adolph
S. Ochs, editor and owner of
the New York Times, is recu
perating satisfactorily from a
serious operation performed
two weeks agq. Anxiety dis
appears with news of his. suc
cessful convalescence.
To all that have advocated,
as Thomas Jefferson did, the
use of light wine and beer as
an antidote to poisonous whis
key, it is interesting to know
that President Hoover, four
teen years ago shared the Jef
ferson theory.
Senator Sheppard, of Texas,
urged Mr. Hoover, then food
administrator, to stop beer
brewing because it consumed
"four million bushels of grain
monthly." We were saving all
food resources then,' grain,
sugar, meat, etc., for shipment
to our dear friends abroad,
that now refer to our govern
ment as Uncle Shylock.
At that time President Hoover
wrote Senator Sheppard "If you stop
brewing, the saloons of the country
will still be open, but confined prac
tically to a whisky and gin basis."
You will ' note that President
Hoover 1& 1018 foresaw prohibition's
results.
His letier also aald "It Is mighty
difficult to get drunk on two and
thre quarters per cent beer. It will
be esay enough If we force a substi
tution of distilled drink for It"
President Hoover had sound Ideas
on alcoholic mixtures In 1018, and
his wise words on beer as compared
with whisky and gin recall Thomas
Jefferson's letter, recommending to
the assembly of Virginia, & British
brewer called Captain Miller, Jeffer
son wrote: "He Is about to settle In
our country, and to establish a brew
ery. In which art I think him as skill
ful a man as has ever com to Amer
ica. I wish to see this beverage be
come common Instead of the whisky
which kills one-third of our citizens,
and ruins their famUles. He Is stay
ing with me until he csn fix him
self." An American architect, Mr. Ham
ilton, of Bast Orange, New Jersey,
shares, with two Russians, the first
prise In competing for a great Russian
palace to be elected on the site where
the Church of Christ th Redeemer
stood, before Russia tor It down.
Russia, to proceed promptly with
glgantlo atructur. keeps on building
Industrially,, and otherwise.
Our best minds say "Russia must
collapse because all her theories are
unsound."
It seems to collapse rather slowly.
And the discovery of great new Rus
sian oil flelda In the Ural, may help
delay the collapse.
H
George Bernard Shaw saya there
are "no great men or great women"
alive or dead, and "people believe In
them as they used to believe in
dragons and unicorns."
Shaw Is mistaken. There have been
and there are great men and women.
Pasteur wss one, Edison another,
Copernicus, Tycho-Brae. Kepler, Gali
leo. Descartes and Newton were six
others, coming by the 'way, from alx
different countries.
Every mother who devotes her life
to her children Is a great woman,
father who devotes his life and ener
gies to his family is a great msn.
Por In all "greatness" the chief Ingre
dient Is "goodness."
Th death of Thomaa Bat, killed
In Czecho-Slovakla yesterday when
his private plane crashed ) a greet
loss to th Industrial world. Born
ftfty-alx years sgo In Moravia, he was
the son of a poor cobbler, learned his
father's trsde and thirty-eight years
ago had a shop with fifty employes.
When he died, flying over one of
his msny factories, he dominated the
manufacturing of shoes throughout
th world, made gigantic shipment
to this country In spite of the tariff,
and was cslled In Europe "the Henry
Pord of Europe."
His death 1 a calamity. His life
proved that opportunity la always at

with ability.

IT WON'T BK
Many of us can remember a time
when intelligent people deliberately
exposed their children to mumps,
measles, whoop
ing cough, scar
let fever or chick
en pox, because
they b e i 1 e v ed
that every one
must have these
diseases a o o n er
or later and so
It was better to
have them In
c h 1 1 dhood and
get It over.
Today this Is
regarded as a crime, even In back
ward communities. Now and then
a child dies of one of these so
called diseases of childhood. Sensible
folk know, too, that no such Illness
Is "good" for a child, and accord
ingly the modern practice Is to try
to protect children from contracting
these diseases, and In an encourag
ing number of cases children are
growing up without ever suffering
from such diseases. Physicians and
health authorities nowadays do not
refer, to these dUeases as "diseases
of childhood." Childhood Is getting
a better deal.
Superstitions which were all very
well Yor medical profession and laity
SO or 100 -years ago are absurd today.
Before we knew anything about the
cause of diphtheria, pneumonia, tu
berculosis, cerebro-splnal meningi
tis, tonsillitis, whooping cough and
the other respiratory Infections, the
theory of exposure to cold and wet
had the virtue of necessity. The
doctor had to come to bat with
some sort of explanation for the
Illness, and what could be more
suitable than that?
Everybody had to be more or less
exposed to weather changes, drafts,
occasional wetting of the feet, damp
ness, raw winds or other discomforts.
Hence Ji was always plausible enough
how he came down "under the wea
ther." The cold superstition la by no
means discarded by the medical pro
fession as a whole, but It la fading.
Tho dumb public Is beginning to
suspect that the eminent medical
man's early bulletins In the case of
the prominent politician are dis
honest or else the eminent medical
man makes extremely bad guesses.
Occasionally some health officer or
physician still Insists that exposure
to cold or wet somehow "lowers re
sistance,' whatever that nay mean,
and advises that plenty of good
wholesome food, rest, sunshine, fresh
water and pure air will keep up
your resistance. Bui there Is no
scientific) ground for this. It la
Just an old Yankee notion. Apart
from Immunity, which ' la specific
and has no known -bearing on ex
posure to cold or wet, nobody knows
a thing about "resistance"; nobody
can even define such a state. It
simply doesn't exist. If you or I

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Civil Service Passed.
January 10 1 cook civil service ex
amination and waa sailing along
smoothly until the doctor discovered
a rupture, which prevented further
progress. As you suggested I had
Dr. give me the ambulant
treatment, and late In April I was
again examined, and altho the civil
service doctor ridiculed the method
of treatment he was unable to find
any evidence of hernia and he had
to pass me. I am certainly grateful
for your advice and for Dr. 'a
treatment. P. H. J.
Answer The civil service examiner
reminds us of the bumpkin who
didn't believe in giraffes. Our pro
fession harbors a good many euch
skeptics. By the way, I have re
ceived many letters from others who
are delighted with the cure of hernia
by the doctor who cured yours.
Life Guard Tells Vs.
I'd certainly like to know where
Dr. Ceila Duel Moaner received her
degree in medicine. I happened to
see your column regarding women
going swimming during the mens
truation period. Aa a lifeguard In
one summer I have carried over 10
such casea from the water, aufiejl-itx
from nevere cramps and pain. W.
R. A,
Answer Johns Hopkins. But when
you firemen or life guards get a
notion, what difference does it make
where the dumo doctora received
their education? Every girl or young
woman should rend and follow the
sane advice given in Dr. Mosher's
"Personal Hygiene for Women," pub
lished by Stanford Unlveralty Press,
Stanford University. Cal.
Ketchup.
I have been eating ketchup liter
ally at every meal. Will it harm
me any? C. P. C.
Answer Excessive indulgence In
any condiment is rather Injurious.
A dash of ketchup, mustard or other
such delight la all right occasionally,
but all wrong when used habitually.

Since about 1890 there has been
going on In America a. constant de
crease of public Interest In govern---ment
until fewer than 60 per cent of
the qualified voters regularly exercise
their rights of franchise. The out
rageously high cost of government,
which is the inescapable companion
of Incompetency and Inefficiency;
shameless, audacious corruption with
which many parts of our political
system are generally known to be
saturated, and the manifestly Insa
tiable appetite of government for the
control and regulation of the lives
ot its citizens and their business, are
soma of the quite visible bitter fruits
of the lack of Interest in government
on the part of American citizens.
Furthermore, Increasing numbers of
the people are looking to public treas
uries aa children look to their dad
dies' pocketbooks for their support
end Indulgence. Fsr worse even than
economic conditions have ever been
ar the political condltlona w.hlch
have developed from tho apathetic
attitude of otherwise good citizens
towards their government. Economic
condltlona are not going to get much
better nor permanently eo until there
Is a decided revival ot public Interest
In government. When that takes
place, both the crooked and the in
efficient will be put out and kept
out of public office, and government
will again come to be regarded as' the
servant and not th master of Its
people, nor a charitable Institution
to tske care of those who are able to
take care ot themselves. Under suoh
conditions to be devoutly hoped for,
no sllen or other undigested Ameri
can will have the effrontery to claim
exemption from the obligation to de
fend with his life the flag of a coun
try whose rights and privileges he Is
seeking or exercising.
