News of a recall movement
against Judge II. D. Norton
fills us with indignation and
nurprue It is a glaring ex
ample of the abuse of a meas
ure incituted in Oregon for
the protection of its citizens
afrainst possible corruption of
public officials. The recall is
essentially an emergency meas
ure only justified when a
publio official has been so dere
lict in his duties, so reprehen
sible in conduct, or so dishonest
and corrupt that he must be
removed from office at once,
and his continuance not left to
the verdict of the people at a
regular election.
Unwarranted use of this pre
rogative is abuse of the peo
ple's privilege and turns a
measure intended solely as a
safeguard into a weapon of in
trigue, dangerous to public
welfare.
There is no justification for
a recall against Judge Norton,
or possibility of its success.
Sanctioning such a movement
by signing the petition will not
only place an added and need
less expense upon the taxpay
ers but will throw the entire
county into discord, strife and
confusion.
Judge Norton has not only
PROSPERITY TALK
James R. Owen, general manager
of the Owen-Oregon Lumber Bates
company, returned laat week from a
trip to Portland, also to the timbered
areas of this county, and reports, "a
growing confidence among the peo
ple, end a feeling that the depression
Is over, and Hoover la not to blame
for everything we don't like.'
VI talked to a number of business
men and bankers of Portland,' said
Mr. Owen, "and they all expressed
optimism, and that conditions were
Improving, with more buying and sell
ing. "Last week I went out Into the
woods," continued Mr. Owen, "to look
over some timber, and at lunch time
we stopped at a farmer's house. X
expected to hear the president de
nounced, but the farmer Instead,
pointed to the rising price of hogs,
and praised the president for efforts
to battle the panic.
"The thing that surprised me, was
that the optimism of Portland, had
penetrated SO miles back tn the tim
ber," said Mr. Owen.
The lumberman, who admits, "no
body got as blue as X did, or talked
as much," said, "of course. It will
be 30 to 00 days before the valley
feels It, as good things always hit us
last."
Owen said that the mill mall the
past two weeks from all over the na
tion making Inquiries on lumber
prices and conditions, had been the
heaviest In two years, and that he
viewed It as a hopeful sign.

He has enemies, of course.
Every honest judge has them.
But they are enemies who do

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug.
12. There are too many things
to be seen in this city of won
ders. Consider a few incidents
of the last twenty-four hours.
Dinner on the edge of the
Pacifio ocean in the house of
the beautiful and talented Nor
ma Shearer. In private life she
is Mrs. Irving Thalberg, and
they have tennis nets strung all
around a swimming pool to
keep the two year old boy from
walking in.
Thalberg," everybody agrees,
is the ablest super-director of
them all. His task is to extract
from plays and actors all their
possibilities, a sort of intellect
ual mining engineer.
A visit to the' Olympic village
where sixteen hundred athletes of
more than thirty netlons live In a
little city that Los Argeles bjllt espe
cially for them, and that H. O. Davis
has equipped, and runs, for Los An
geles with great ability and nerfect
harmony. ;
The village of 300 small houses,
each nationality having Its separate
group, kitchen and dining room,
stands on a high hill that overlooks
the Pacific on one side, the city of
Los Angeles on the other.
A visit In the 'afternoon to Mary
Plckford'a studio.
On the way you meet her husband,
Douglas Fairbanks, and Harold Lloyd,
arm In arm. They say, "Come and
look at Eddie Cantor, he Is still work
ing." You turn toward Eddie Cantor and
Samuel Goldwyn, who appears, hurry
ing, says, "I will show you Eddie
Cantor, he Is making a picture for
me."
Eddie cantor Is dressed In a bull
fighter's costume, a big black belt
around his waist. Temporarily he
Is In a prison cell with heavy Iron
bars, probably made of paper painted
black. "I have been In better Jails
than this, eays he, Introducing you
to Sidney Franklin, the American
bullfighter, who left this country at
the age of eighteen to kill bulls In
Spain, Mexico, everywhere.
"Show him the bulls, we got real
ones," ssys Cantor. Franklin, the
professional bull fighter, and Douglas
Fairbanks who practiced bullfighting
to make a picture, lead the( way to a
corral where six black bulls shake
their horns, paw the ground,, acting
as though they had lived all their
Uvea In Hollywood, registering malev
olence. Two long homed brown American
steers keep the bulls compsny and
according to Bull Fighter Franklin
they prevent the bulls from fighting
among themselves. Steers don't want
to fight, can't see any sense In It,
and separate the bulls when they
start.
Lsarn from Mr. Franklin that a red
rag meana nothing to a bull. He
cannot distinguish colors, and will
dash at any moving object, big or
little. To be safe In his company
the bull fighter stands still, while he
moves to the left or right the bsnner
that hs holds In his hand, the bull
sees the banner moving, follows It,
and cannot turn around tn time.
The matador's sword Is plunged
Into the bull's spine Just above bis
shoulders, not Into the bull's heart.
Douglas Fairbanks pointed out the
spot with his finger on one black
bull that appeared annoyed. The
sword severs the spins cord, paralys
ing ths bull, csualng hemorrhsge and
death within twenty minutes. The
Impetus of ths rushing bull, not ths
strength of the matador, buries the
sword four feet tn the anlmal'a body.
No bull Is used twice. The second
time he would know too much. Hs
hsa a good memory.
M
Tn the picture Eddie Cantor, aup
posed never to have seen a bull In
his life, Is forced to become a bull
fighter, after Sidney Franklin has
ahown him how Uie work Is dons.
You see a few "shots" of Mr. Can
tor's latest contribution of the Amer
icas. In addition to six Mexican bulls
and two brown steers there are one
hundred beautiful American girls,
with eyes almoat ss big as Csntor's.
The ladles when you first meet
them are "co-eds" In a great college,
all are In bed. and all sleep In black
lace night gowns which would be no
great protection In case of frost. They
arise one sfter the other, and aU walk
up a staircase to a swimming pool,
thus showing the profile. After the
bath they slide down a strange chute
that might be used tor firemen.

A FBIEND WILL TELL YOU.
Everybody's breath baa an odor of
Its own, not always a pronounced
odor, but en odor. The trouble Is
you nave tne
wrong kind of
friends. But does
your' snobbish.
Insincere attitude
about these
things Inspire

Well, never mind.
Just listen to Ole
Doc Brady, who
wanta to be
friendly to every
body within the
proper limitations. Maybe what I
will teach you, If you listen, will
help you to achieve closer friendship
with your associates.
Every human being has not only
a characteristic breath odor, but a
characteristic body odor. too. If the
stresses snd strains which civilised
life Imposes upon the olafsctory per
ception so dull thst sense that It be
comes numb to all but the more em
phatic odors, that doesn't alter the
fact that everybody's breath has an
odor.
A favorite line of the charlatans Is
thst foul breath Indicates "poor elim
ination." Thst obviously makes a
good cue for the quack to bring on
all his familiar bag of tricks, such as
fasting, colon Irrigations and maybe
a course of exotic sweat baths or
pretty light treatments or something
If the quack has the equipment for
such monkey business.
As a matter of fact faulty elimi
nation has nothing to do with the
odor of the breath. Reverse peris
talsis may account for the bad breath
In some esses, but that Is quite In
dependent of the function of excre
tion or elimination.
Reverse of the direction of the
wave movement In the stomach, caus
ing return of the normal gaatrlo Juice
Into the esophsgus or gullet, explains
the symptom commonly cslled "hssrt
burn." If some of the acid fluid
rises Into the throst It produces
"waterbruah." Many persons who.
tho neither 111 nor sick (In the Ameri
can and English sense of the words),
yet have a fur or coating on the
tongue every morning, perhaps a
"brown" taste and a heavy or un
pleasant breath, are suffering from
reverse perlstalals merely. All this,
be It emphsslzed, hss nothing to
do with "elimination" or excretion.
Common causes of reversed peristal
sis are excesses In eating and drink
ing, abuse of condiments, the Inter
ference hsbtt Interference with the
In the next scene, a school mis
tress, with eye glssscs, rebukes two
yaung ladles that have overslept
and compels each to say twenty times
'I om a naugnty girl." The third
that hss slept too fong Is hard to
awaken, but, once awake. Instantly
begins saying 'I am a naughty girl."
This is not true, for It Is Eddie Can
tor, who hss smuggled himself Into
the young ladles' dormitory.
The school mistress says "Satan In
spired you to drink and then come
to this sacred place."
Cantor, answers Ingenuously, "No,
msam, you are mistaken. Satan may
have made me drink, ' but coming
here was my own Idea.
Irving Thalberg who. In co-operation
with Louis B. Mayer, has kept
Metro-Ooldwyn-Mayer highly auc
cesstul In spite of the depression,
says, "today, It Is necessary In a pic
ture to give the publio something
that It feels It must see."
Sddle Cantor, with the only Amer
ican bull fighter, six blsck bulls, two
long-horn steers, and one hundred
beautiful girls in black lace night
gowns should fill the bill.
Msry Plckford-Felrbanka. who Is
working on a new picture, and ahows
no Interest In ths six black bulls, or
the one hundred young ladles, has,
with her tea, twenty-four kinds of
cakes for her niece, and a clever little
girl of three, who shskes hands with
everybody twice. Cordiality Is the
thing. In California.
Under circumstances that would
cause an eastern policeman to ask,
"where do you think you are going?",

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Cancer.
A member of my family la suffer
ing from csncer. I am acting as
nurss. Is there any danger of my
taking the disease? D. c. H.
Answer No. cancer Is not commu
nicable. Ordinary soap and water
cleanliness Is adequate protection
against ordinary Infection such as
anybody may contract from contact
with any foul discharge.
Baby Dislikes MUk.
I Ua I took the baby's bottle
away too late. She refuses to take
milk from a gloss. If I put her In
bed without her bottle, she treats
us to a delightful 20 minutes of
grand opera.. What shall I do?
J, O. C.
Answer Offer her food at the prop
er time. If she refuses It wait until
the next time. You do not state the
baby's sge. Perhaps she needs addi
tional food now. Send stsmped ad
dressed envelope for Instructions tor
feeding a baby over a year old.
Dumb Dora Tries to Reduce.
In order to thin the blood and aid
reducing I have been taking epsom
salts and lemon Juice in hot water
every morning. Have been told It
helps one to withstand the summer
heat. So far I have not reduced any.
Is there any harm In this? Mrs.
K. J. H.
Answer Yes. It reduces health It
not weight. The lemon Juice is all
right If you like It, a good food If
not very nourishing. The salts is all
wrong and will neither th'n the blood
nor enable you to withstand heat.
In fact, your reduction scheme Is
pretty silly business. If you think
you should reduce write In, enclose
stamped envelope bearing your ad
dress, give your age, height and
weight and If I think you ahould reb
duce I'll send you Instructions.

Independent Candidates.
To the Editor:
Are the voters of Jsckson county
ready to nullify the primary law?
The stste of Oregon pioneered in the
enactment of the direct primary law.
It has proven populsr and efficient,
and most of the othor states have fol
lowed the lead of Oregon by adopting
It. The old guard politicians, of
course, have several times attempted
a change, so ss to return to the old
convention system, but the voters
have refused to repeal or otherwise
change our primary election law.
Under this law anyone who wishes
msy run for office, either by paying
a filing fee or by procuring a quota
of registered voters on his petition.
It Is a free-for-all and offers equal
opportunity to all comers.
And the results are beneficial, for
tandldates before the primary must
make themselves known and disclose
their qualifications to the voters. In
order to do this they must expend
considerable In time and money, each
taking his chance and submitting to
the result In the Amerlcsn spirit of
fair play.
But It seems our legislature has
psssed another law, permitting candi
dates, notwithstanding the primary
election, to run ss Independents by
merely filing a petition of registered
voters equal to 3 per cent of the last
preceding vote cast for governor. This
mesns that any mal-content can ig
nore the prlmsry election and run for
any office in the county, against duly
nominated candidates by simply fil

Editorial Comment
Medford peara and squsbbles as
sures Itself of page one throughout
the state. When prices are low on
the former, a hangup squabble la re
sorted to to enliven the day's news.
Earl H. Fehl. weekly publisher, 1
always In a battle: recently he was
handed a heavy Judgment for libel
damages: then he retaliated by run
ning for the county Judgeship and
received the Republican nomination.
The present flareup is a recall move
directed against Circuit Judge Norton,
No specific sponsors for the recall pe
titions have appeared and the bar
association of Jackson county Is solid
in opposition to recalling the Judge.
One suspects the troublesome hand
of Fehl with his newest ally, L. A.
Banks of the Medford News. A lively
late summer and fall Is promised.
