They hear a Republican, wfio shed his Republi canism at the state line, and found the agitation excellent shortly after he landed, baa his eye on the post maatership of the new postoffloe. The rugged Ashland Jeffersonlan, Jackaonlaa and Wllsonlan Democrats think this Is political Impudence of a low order.

Broken windows glased by Trow bridge Cabinet Works, Editorial Correspondence CHICAGO, 111., August 31. Pretty hard to get through Chi cago without seeing the Cubs perform. Met an old friend for lunch and there was nothing to it but an afternoon at Wriglej Park. Well the friend was right. He said we would see some thing worth wasting an after noon. We did. A more extra ordinary ball game we have never seen, and never expect to see again. ' No doubt the dyed-in-the-wool baseball fans in Jackson county have already read about the game, so we need not go into details here. The astonish ing thing to the writer was that the Cubs did precisely what the baseball bug who took us, SAID THEY WOULD DO. We had listened to the radio reports from time to time in Rockford, no one could go up and down Main street without running through a gauntlet of loud speakers. And nearly every time the Cubs would be staging a ninth or 10th inning rally. It began to be wierd, the way the Chicago team .would nose out a victory with a Garri son finish, Every game was of the story-book-movie-hero type too good to be true. Well the New York Giants were the opponents ' and for seven innings they' had all the best of it, in hitting, fielding, everything. We remarked to our host that the Cubs might be as wonderful a team as he said, but they certainly were performing like a lot of school boys out there on the field. "Just you wait," said the friend. We waited. The score at the last half of the ninth when the, Cubs came to bat was let's see (this is being written about half an hour after the battle and our reportorinl head is still ringing with the din and dizzy from dodging straw hats .and seat cushions) it was five to four against them. There were two out, two men on bases, and Kiki Cuyler came to bat. The din was simply terrific, and there for the "steenth time" was the old story book situa tion. Cuyler had knocked a single and a three-bagger al ready, there were two out--by all the laws of chance he couldn't put over a hit at that crucial moment. But he did. Rapped out a sharp single between first and second and the score was tied. The next man went out how ever and the game went to 10 innings. "Now the Cubs will go out and win the ball game you see," said the friend. "Yeah!" The Giants in 'their half of the 10th proceeded to knock the ball all over the lot scoring four'runs, and half the poople in the grand stands (there were about 20,000 there celebrating the depression) started filing out. We wanted to filo too, for it had been raining off and on, the grand stand roof where we sat leaked, and our $1.87 Pan ama hat was being ruined. L The first football call of th. year for Medford high school will be Issued by Coach Darwin K. Burgher for to morrow night wnen suits will be Is sued and plans msde for start of the gridiron year. The squad will not get down to hard drill for a week or ten days, but training rules will be effective after tomorrow night. A number of players will not report until later, as they are employed, and will not atart school until the fruit season Is over. These Include Oallnskl and Knlps, backfleld players. Clyde Flchtner. the big fullback. Tommy Whit, end. Grieves. Ham mark, Rae. Shew, Mlnear and Lald- ley wlU atart with th opening caU. "Oh have a heart" said the host, lighting a fresh cigaret, "this game has just started watch the Cubs pull it out of the fire." The man on his right gave him the merry horse laugh at that, and we seconded the mo tion. Absurd! 9 to 5, a wet field and a wet ball, nearly dark some scenario writer might pull a thing like that but no ball club could particular ly a club that had been doing that sort of -thing for two weeks, and had won eleven games straight. Couldn't keep up the horseshoe business for ever. . But that is just what this Chicago team did either the greatest ball team or the luckiest, that ever won a world series or ever wore spiked shoes. Not only that in all that muck and mud, they scored five runs and won the ball game ! Two home runs in the 10th the last one by this same chap Kiki Cuyler sending in 2 men before him. As above stated we need not go into details the fans will have them anyway, and only the fans would be interested. Suffice it to say, that, this will go down in our memory as the most thrilling and extra ordinary ball game we have ever seen. . . ' (And we might add it is the first big league game we have seen in ten years.) . If thu game had. not been such a thriller we would have felt repaid by the field and the crowd. A beautiful field, cov ered with green grass, outside of the neatly brushed diamond, huge two-tier stands, flags and pennants flying high above, and an attractive brick wall in stead of board, for the home runs to go over. And until the rain started in (coming up like Kipling's thunder) the crowd .was a brilliant mass of white and color. If that crowd, however; is' a fair sample of America, then we are soon to become nudists. It was a hot day, it is true, but never before have we seen such costumes 1 Men in swimming suits and duck pants, score of them, boys and young men with noth ing on above the waist, girls in sun suits, backs bare to the waist line, and pajamas be neath. If ultraviolet rays can cure all human ills, then the next generation in Chicago should drive the doctors out of business, Another surprise at least to us. An active betting ring. Men in shirt sleeves, bills enough to choke a horse in their hands, botting on any thing, and getting takers. "Three to one, no score," "two to one, he doesn't reach first" and believe it or not five to three that the game would be called because of rain. That bet was offered and NOT TAKEN, when the heav ens broke forth with a minia ture cloudburst and people on the bleachers melted away for shelter like clouds before the mid-dny sun.' R. W. R. Maurice (Red) Bcheel, will be In school, and will turn out for football, barring parental objections. ' Most of the squad were "second stringers" Isat year, and as a whole will be heevy but Inexperienced. All, however, are fairly well grounded In the Burgher system of play. The squad will be strengthened by the addition of two former California high school players one a centr, and the other an end. The1 first game of the year will probably be played the first Satur day in October. Marahfleld high will be the first regular opponent of the season, playing hers. Most of the games will be played her. this year. Eureka, Calif., win be th. Ion. out-of-state team played. One gam. will be played with each of th. southern Oregon conference squads Klamath Falla and Orants Pass here and Ash land at Ashland. Eugene and Cor vallla will also play here.

Yesterday was not a cheerful Labor Day, but there is comfort in comparison. One poet re marked that a sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering hap pier things. Tennyson borrow ed it from Dante, Dante from some one else and there is truth in it. You can also find comfort in remembering conditions worse than today's and labor should turn the pages backward, and realize that conditions might be worse than they are. In Mediaeval France, H was necessary to pass a law forbid ding peasants to eat the bodies of those that died of the plague. ' . Peasants were forbidden to kill the game that ate their crops. The nobles wanted to enjoy the killing. Workers were forced to sit up all night, beating a pond to quiet cronking frogs that dis turbed the noble's sleep, and they were not paid for the work. - In England, under Henry the Sec ond, If a worker. Idle and starving wandered to another parish, In search of work, without permission, be was branded, on the cheek with a red hot Iron, to remind him of his duty, to wait around until wanted. Labor unions are an Improvement on that. A president of the United States on a publlo occasion complained that you could no longer hire a first class worker In this country for less than one hundred dollars a year. ' - Not so long ago. In this glorloua republlo ot opportunity, there was just one workman, a carpenter In New England, able to earn as much as a dollar a day, all year round. Even now, few, If any, working for one dollar a day, although many, to the nation's disgrace, working on part time, get aa little aa six dollars a week, and even leas. It Is poor comfort to say "Rejoice, for things have been worse." , But you may add "They have been worse, and will soon be better, bring ing another chance, and perhaps few er mistakes thsn In the most recent good times." While waiting" tor better times, the wise man makea the best of these times! ' Not all are hopelessly dis couraged. On Saturday, from New York City alone, two million beings went away on pleasure bent. Neces sarily they took money with them. Opportunity, Intelligence, resources unlimited, more money than any other nation possesses are atlll with us, if only we know how to use and distribute them. Major James H. 'dooMUs ses a new air record for America, over two hun dred and ninety-six miles an hour. He flew over a mile, at three hundred and nine miles. ' , - British and Italians have flown taster, but three hundred miles would be fast enough. It would take passengers across th. ocean, or thla oontlnent In eight hours and sround the world In less than eighty-four hours. Speeds exceeding five hundred miles, perhaps aa great as one thou- sa.id miles, will be attained In the high-up stratosphere, free of storms, fog, wind, almost fres of air resis tance. And the curious thing Is that men will need and use the super- speeds. Nothing can be as fast ss man's desires. Even children use the tele phone. The Rockefellers 'accede to Argen tina's request for help in keeping out of the Argentine the yellow fever thst Is raging In ths Santa Crua district ot Bolivia. Once the request might have been for help against the Jaguar, destroy ing herds. Now It Is for help against the tiny mosquito, besrlng yellow fever germs. End mosqultos and you end yellow fever. Civilised' men's real wars hereafter will be against enemlea, almost, or quit., Invisible. John D. Rockefeller's energies, thru his scientific organizations are direct ed toward permanent extermination of yellow ferer. That plague Is ende mic, an aU year round menace, only In a few places. If It were wiped out In those plsces. It would never appear again, outalds of scientific books. Th. Rockefeller's main object Is to destroy a disease utterly, making the world safe against It for th. millions of years ahead. Personal Health Service By William Brady, fit. D.

The effect of a great deal of tbe quack doctor bait that Is exploited as "health" stuff these days is morbid 1 n t r o s p ectlon. And these latter day c b a r 1 atans know that's the secret of success get 'em look ing In and they'll forget to look out. In the old days we .regular or old school q u a eje s pushed our "pills and potions" for everything, real or Imaginary. It was a pretty nasty business, yet we were not so bad at that, for the customers were at least permitted to develop their own com plaints. Now all that Is changed. The gilded charlatans today look upon such business as piker trade. They go In for big business. They do not wslt for the suckers to de velop symptoms; on the contrary they devote a large portion of tne takings to the business of providing everybody with precisely the com plaints the charlatans purport to prevent or cure. That's what nine tenths of the so-called "health' lit erature and radio publicity is for. A clergyman serves as an example: Dear Doctor Brady: Last summer, during about 3 weeks of my vacation, I was not near a restaurant for breakfasts, so I got the following In my room every day.. First, about a pint of water, two oranges and one lemon Juice at 5 a. m. Allowing this half an hour in my tummy I then drank one pint of hot evap orated milk (equivalent to a quart evaporated). This break fast menu worked admirably so far as I know. But I did note a remarkable diminution In the quantity of , . (here the poor man goes Into minutiae over the body functions) . . . although I drank water freely, I ate sparingly the rest of the day. I would have thought nothing of this change In (more details of function) had I not talked with a friend and told her that I was losing weight. She had reduced . . . but said she had to stop so strict a diet because she had "Ben Told" that to reduce so rap Idly was to endanger the kidneys. That made me wonder If my diet; was endangering . . . rln the field of anatomy, physiology. hygiene and pathology this good man Is as Ignorant and gullible as Is any yokel who ever purchased six bottles of tonic for IB from the traveling specialist at the county fair. Tea More than two hundred and fifty thousand million dollars are burned up In the big war, no good accom plished. Twenty million lives sacri ficed. With their comparatively in significant fortune, come hundreds of millions at most, the Rockefellers, father and son, tight a continuous war against man's real enemies, yel low fever, cancer, hookworn, sleeping sickness, Infantile paralysis, etc., and save, Instead of destroying lives. Makers of whisky In Scotland have closed down their distilleries because warehouses are full, packed to the limit. "In one little burgh, Rothes, there are stored at least two million gallons.' Sales and consumption of whisky have dropped, because of heavy taxa tion. Distillers say It costs seventy five cents to produce a gallon ot whisky, allowing interest while aging, and the government tax Is eighteen dollars a gallon, ' about twenty-five times the cost of manufacture. With prohibition abandoned, this country will, soon be planning taxa tion on alcohol beverages. It should tax whisky, gin and other alcoholic poisons so heavily as to discourage or prevent their use, while taxing mod erately the light beers and wines that do not promote drunkenness. If all alcoholic drinks, strong and light, are heavily taxed bootlegging will continue, finding Its profit, a the old moonshiners did In the heavy taxation which It avoids. A thoughtful man. of-philosophic mood, Is the present pope. Plus Elev enth. Greeting a group of five-hundred physiologists, gathered In Rome, the pope recalled the years of ecien tltle study that preceded his election to the papacy, saying to the scientists, scenes and well-being are the Mme thing.' Recently on. the eve of Apostle's Day, kneeling among the graves of his predecessors, below the altar of Saint Peter's, and contemplating the tomb that he has chosen for himself, the pope remarked 'T also will find sweet repose tn this place, some dy." ror how long will that "sweet re pose" In the tomb, last? What comes after It? Many would Uke answers to those questions. Sams Valley SAMS VALLEY. Sept. (Spl ) Mtss Dorothy Straus returned Mon day from Portland with her sister.

PRESENTS PARTY'S CASE iOR VOTER (Continued on Page Eight) It la the party of Lincoln and Grant, ot Garfield and McKlnley, and of Roosevelt when he held publlo of fice and during the closing years of his great career. ' When the country has had a great task to perform it has Instinctively turned to the Re publican party. Under Its leadership the Union was saved, the principle of sound money was established and maintained, and the Independence of this republic of foreign entanglements was reasserted and preserved. The Republican party has held Its convention, adopted its platform and nominated Its candidates. The plat form Is clear, explicit and compre hensive. It recognizes the needs and requirements of the nation at this time and candidly states what reme dies It proposes to adopt. It ought to be read, studied and pondered by every voter before election day. This Is a great nation with a multiplicity of Interests that are affected by gov ernment action. It Is not possible to state the principles of a party so that they can be understood without covering a considerable amount of space. The Republican platform treats of nearly forty different specific sub jects which affect our domestic In terests and our foreign relations. A great deal of thought and attention is given to the consideration of the welfare of agriculture. Tbe entire resourcees of the nation are pledged for the support of our economic sys tem, our credit structure and suit able relief of distress. Prohibition, banking, economy, taxation, the vet eterans, transportation, public utilities, the World Court, reduction of arma ments and the welfare of the wage earner are some of the more Import ant topics on which the party de clares its position. The whole docu ment Is characterized by broad states manship, sound economics and a hu manitarian spirit. President Hoover has long been rec ognized as a veteran In the public service. He was an experienced gov ernmental administrator of remark able accomplishments when he came to Washington nearly twelve years ago. Through two administrations he sat at the council table of the nation as secretary of commerce. Be cause of tbe character of his service, he was promoted to the presidential office. By ability and experience he was popularly fitted to meet the problems which have arisen during the past three years.. Undoubtedly -he Is better informed concerning the economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, than any other man in the United States. Information with him Is never an academic matter but a preparation for practical action. He Is essentially an executive, a doer' as well as a thinker. Right Men for Right Jobs The management of our national government Is to a considerable ex tent a selection of competent subor dinates. President Hoover made him self acquainted with most of the Im portant people In the United States. Because he knew where to find tal ent, he has been able to surround himself with capable assistants. His appointments have been remarkably good. When he became president, the only field in which It could be said he lacked experience was in dealing .with legislative bodies. But his ap proach to the congress .has been such, the patience and tact with which he has dealt with legislation have been so marked, and his Influence on the house and senate has been so great, that any criticism In that direction has long since been turned Into praise. There Is bound to be some discus sion during the campaign of the ques tion of prohibition. This will be nothing novel. Regulating the use of intoxicating liquor has been dis cussed for generations without reach ing a final solution. The Repub lican platform calls for obedience to and enforcement of the law, and de nounces nullification. It recognizes that very grave abuses have grown up under the 18th amendment which call for some remedy. It therefore proposes,' white preserving what was proved to be beneficial under the amendment, to submit to state con tentions for their acceptance or re jection a modification that will give additional power to the states to deal with the subject of liquor traf flce without surrendering the power of the federal government to protect states that want prohibition and to prevent the return of the saloon. State Rights and Prohibition Undoubtedly there are some people who think tbe wisest thing to do Is to repeal the 18th amendment alto gether, and others who are equally convinced that it should stand as It Is, but almost everyone admits thst the present situation requires some kind ot remedial action. While the working out of details no doubt will be difficult, yet the principle an nounced of retaining the benefits and reforming the abuses Is always a sound method of procedure. This Is not a partisan question and has never been decided on party lines. No one party Is responsible for the 18th amendment, and no one party is responsible for the abuses taht have grown up under It. The Re publican platform with entire candor has suggested a plan for reform ac cording to a well established prin ciple of procedure, and left the de tails necessarily to be formulated by the congress. Under this proposal all states would be free to ad op or retain pro hibition. The principle that the fed eral government should have power to protect sucb states is nothing new. as St is already implied in the power to regulate Interstate commerce, as was exemplified by the Webb-Kenyon set. On the other hand, those states that believe they could best regulate and control the liqo traffic by a restricted legalirlng of It would have the privilege. When this provision of the platform is boiled down, tt re duces itself to a pledge to try to abol ish existing evils and recognizes the right of the people to determine their own laws.
