In the opinion of this paper any person who has views to express- but is not willing to accept RESPONSIBILITY for these views, has no rightful place in this newspaper or any other. . - On the other hand the Mail Tribune has recently, and for many years, UPON REQUEST, withheld the name of writer, and placed it on file, where the circumstances aceued to justify such action. Such circumstances have usually been, the aversion of the writer to undue publicity, and becoming immersed in the cam paign of mudslinging, vituperation and personal abuse, which has afflicted this county for so many years. They are perfectly willing to reveal their identity to interested parties, but they don't care for personal advertising, they don't wish their names broadcasted from the house tops' they wish, if possible, publicity for their opinions and the facts they possess, but not for THEMSELVES. e e e e i 'I 'HIS has appeared to be a perfectly natural attitude. And with the community in such a turmoil, with the free play of facts and opinions, so necessary in clearing np the confusion, and 'establishing the truth, the Mail Tribune has regarded and still regards such a procedure, as decidedly in the public interest. " During the past week, the Mail Tribune hag published two or three unsigned communications, and placed the names of the writers on file. Interested parties have called this office In person and by phone, to determine their identity, and in every case the names have been freely given. Now these parties are at liberty to give whatever publicity to these names- they desire. With the request for placing the name on file, granted, the responsibility of this newspaper ends. We wish to, make this point very clear so everyone may understand. THE MAIL TRIBUNE PUBLISHES NO ANONYMOUS COMMUNICATIONS. EVERY COMMUNI CATION IN THIS PAPER IS WRITTEN BY SOMEONE, WHOSE IDENTITY IS KNOWN TO US, AND WHOSE IDEN TITY CAN BE SECURED BY ANY INTERESTED PARTIES UPON REQUEST 1 Wilson Versus Keene SO Dr. J. M. Eeene is going to tilt his glistening spear against Mayor E. M. Wilson, in the mayoralty tournament of ballots ! If such a contest comes to pass, we trust, no third candidate will jump into the fray, as a self . For such a struggle will be worth going miles to see. In color, dramatic appeal, and comic relief, it should eolipse those bizarre spectacles, put on centuries ago to titillate the jaded senses of ancient Rome. In those days- they put bears against bulls, tigers against elephants, soldiers againBt gladiators the more striking the contrasts, the better the populace enjoyed it. But in colorful contrasts, in conflicting notes, this Eeene Wilson rough and tumble should surpass anything ever staged in Southern Oregon perhaps in the civilized world. sees llf AYOR WILSON is quiet, unassuming, conservative. He " never seeks a fight, and doesn't relish combat, but given any particular job, he will" do that job conscientiously and well; and challenged on any he will fight for those principles until the cows come home. But never agressively. He is essentially a defensive fighter. fVR. EEENE, on the other hand- is and always has been the aggressive,, pugnncious toujours audace." His gestures emphatic and extensive. For him To him any givon thing any all blaak or all white, either completely good or (we leave space here for the proper adjectives) blank, blankety-blank, TERRIBLE I . . He. is an extremely colorful and picturesque personality. Mayor Wilson isn 't. But when it comes to conscientious work, vocal temperance and olerance; to sincere and disinterested devotion to publio service, and constructive progress,' we be lieve even the militant dootor'a personal backers will agree Mayor Wilson has the better of it. a a s e , ' ' . I ET us hasten to add' that in spite of their sharply contrasting - trioits, Messers Wilson and Keene, ARE BOTH GOOD CITIZENS. Both have lived here many years, both have ocoupied publio office. If elected to exeoutive office both can be depended upon to give a good account of themselves. Those who fear the doctor, if elected, would proceed to tear down the new city hall, and promptly assassinate the milk commissioner, need have no suoh apprehensions. Like most super-vigorous personalities the dootor's WORDS are 'more alarming than his DEEDS; his bark, far worse than his bite. Not so many years ago Dr.. Keene was the most bitter and relentless oritio of the city administration within the corporate boundaries. .But a shrewd and judicious Mayor named him on the city council and presto! everyone living here then knows he made a sane, constructive and effective city council man. So if the mayoralty lists are confined to these two men, we see no cause for the people of the community worrying seriously about the outcome. Voters will naturally have their preferences, but whatever the outcome, there should be no need of viewing the situation with alarm. , , a a a a e OUT the complete contrasta between these two candidates is what interests us most at the present time. In make up and personality they are as far apart as the poles; as dissimilar as the night and day." If the political fates had searched the town site for two more sharply contrasting tyres- they could not have made a nioer selection.

' President Hoover tell veterans and the public the bonus cannot be paid because the oountry and taxpayers cant poetlbly afford It. Thla opinion should maka It oer taln that the government will not consent to cancellation of those Eu ropean debt. If th United States cannot afford two and one-quarter billions for Its own soldiers, it can hardly afford ten billions 'for the soldiers, taxes, and war preparations of other nations. Our pratrlotle fellow Americans In the Philippines seem unoertsln aa to their desires. Recently they have been telling us they would separate from the United States entirely, to be tree end Independent. Then It occurred to some that If they did that, they would not be able to send sugar and other product here with out paying duty, also that they would have nobody to build roads and pub lio school for them. Now Gulllermo Capadocla, from the Island of Negroes, says: "We want to run the American out of the Philippines."

In a personal communication .. but also stimulated me to look Into It . . . as a result of my Investi gations I have arrived at con clusions which are early, and perhaps indeli n 1 t e. to u t among them Is one which cor responds to a certain extent with yours tha Injection treatment is worth try ing before operation, In certain cases ... I have had a wide operative ex perience in the treatment of hernia and realize that it is not ' a panacea. Certain casea are bound to recur . . . After Investi gation I. tried the method on some cases and while realizing that It la too early to be final, the results have been surprising ly good so that I am encouraged to go on with the understand ing that, In certain cases, there will be failures and surgery may be required. However, I agree with you that the question of failure Is applicable to one method as -to the other. I am writing this as a tribute to your power to Irritate some of us and Irritation sometimes causes stlumlatlon. I wish that It were possible for you to be a lit tle more circumspect in some of your statements but perhaps It Is necessary in order to get ideas across. (Never Mind Who.) 1 know the doctor would not wish his name mentioned here, but I am sure he would permit me to give It to any physician of standing. The "power to Irritate." as applied to our medical colleague, is Just a mean way I have of apprising the publio and the rank and file of the profession of modern developments In scientific medicine a year or two be fore some of the men behind the guns adopt the new Idea, circum spect? I hope to meet this disting uished surgeon and teacher some time and give him an insight Into the way In which I Investigate an Innova tion before I commend or advocate it here. He'd be pleased. There Is need for more circumspection In the atti tude physicians take toward these modern methods, especially on the part of the editors of our national and state medical organs. These my opic mouthpieces of the profession too often make themselves and the profession at large ridiculous by their representative of Universal Service who visited htm In Mexico City, Mr. Ortiz Rublo invited the United States to send to Mexico all Mexican work ers now In the United States, and any others here of Latin origin. He says Mexico will supply all such workers with government land, suffi cient to enable tbem to earn a living for themselves, and thinks this would relieve the strain on our employment facilities. This country could offer plenty of land to all those Mexicans and Lat ins and millions more, land now not occupied. But for some reason, peo ple In the United States are not able to support themselves on a piece of lend, as in Mexico and ft hundred other countries. Editorial Comment State Fair hull Fights Our staid, proper and virtuous con temporary the Portland Oregonlan la highly shocked over the bull-fights scheduled as nightly events for the Oregon state fair, as supplementary features to the free rodeo and In a long editorial expresses Its "amaze ment and downright disapproval" and Indignation against the adoption In any form of a foreign sport that la synonymous with blood lust and brutality. It further adds that "there must be no opening wedge In Oregon" for "an abhorrent spectacle." The Oregonlan la unduly excited over this bull fight at which "no bull will be killed." and which "la a strictly humane affair." In Salem we have become so used to throwing t,ie bull under the new dispensation that guides our state affairs that we refuse to become excited over bloodless bull fight when more gore Is spilled at most any board of con trol session. Any spectacle staged at the fair grounds will bs tame In comparison for what matador or toreador can hold his own with Rufus or Julius or Hal? Of course the state falrls "essen tially educational." Monkey Island proved that. Max Oehlhar assures us the bull fight Is an "educational fea ture to Oregon farmers" who will thereby "learn to escape being need lewily gored by angry bulls because they do not know how to defend themselves of to dodge, for a bull la not dangerous If you know how to dodge him." Attendance at the bull fight Is therefore the equivalent of a course at the O. S. C. and perhaps if the farmer attend every ntght, he can get a degree In throwing the bull. Are not the farmers entitled to such an educational course to qualify for Oranw oratory? Seriously considered, it Is question sble whether the bull fight, aa stag ed in Spain or Mexico, la as brut! and barbarous as tie round-up or rodeo, which every year numbers Its casualties among not only horses and cattle but humans.

My surgeon corespondent does not tell me, but I happen to know that the physician of a great corporation in his city was asked by the corpora tion to report on the merits of the ambulant method. Probably some employe had been cured of hernia without being laid up for six weeks. The corporation's physician Invited the surgeon to Join him in a visit to a oountry doctor who was using the Injection treatment with reputed success. They found the country doctor a thoroughly competent man, yea, a man of the finest scientific type. He showed them every step of the method, and patients In vari ous stages of treatment. He gave them references to the scientific lit erature bearing on the method or at tempts at it, covering a period of SO years) The young oountry doctor proved, mdeed, an Inspiration, when these two city doctors had approach' ed htm expecting to find a crude charlatan. No doubt the corporation became Interested in the method for the reason that from 1100 to $1A0 covers the total cost of the treatment, whereas the standard operation for hernia costs 3S0 to 1400 and keeps the patient away from work six weeks. If one good man here and there sees the light, It will dawn on the entire profession presently. QUESTIONS ANT) ANSWERS Hard for Parasites.

LEGION'S WRATH ON HURLEY; SHUN Controversial Session Ends in Which Cash and Rum Held Spot More Defense and Fewer Aliens Sought PORTLAND. Ore., Sept. 18. (fl) Acting In direct disregard of warn ings and threats of the governmental administration, the American Legion today stood positively and enthusi astically on record for immediate, full ajid cash payment of the bonua. By this action In the concluding session of the 14th nstlonal conven tion here yeaterday, the Legion plac ed at the door of the natlon'a treaa ury a bill for more t! m two billion dollara. Prealdent Hoover on the previous day had declared that immediate pay ment of the bonua would be fatal to economic recovery. Brigadier-General Frank T. Htnes. veterans' adminis trator, had appeared In person to wsrn the Legionnaires that they should "take into consideration th. ability of the country to pay." The resolution for Immediate pay ment of the adjusted service certlfl- cates of the World( war veteran waa adopted by the national convention by a vote of more than ten to one. At the same time, the convention fell In atep with the proposal to re peal the prohibition laws, registering a huge affirmative vote. Mad at Hurley. The wrath of the assembly wa turned on the war department be cause state commanders found on th. chairs on the convention floor mime ographed atatements, bearing tho name of Patrick J. Hurley, secretary of war, offering "pertinent facts' about the bonus army march "In th. Interest of truth and accuracy," con tained In envelopes printed for th. department ot war and bearing th. government postage frank. Loula A. Johnson, attorney of Clarksburg. W. Va., was elected nc tlonal commander to auoceed Henry L. Stevens, Jr., of North Carolina. The vote on the bonua question was 1167 to 109; on the prohibition resolution the balloting was 1144 to 133; the motion censuring th. war department was adopted by acclama tion. Thus was brought to a conclusion one of the most .controversial con ventions the ex-aoldlers of the World war have held In several1 years, but one In which harmony was never en tirely loat sight of.
