The politician have been trying to think lor the past 10 daye, and have thinga well balled up. Gltzo Shlmoda, 8, now has $36 In the bank, and Is afraid somebody win borrow it from him, and his fears are veil grounded. Some of the veterans of Prance returned Fri. from Portland, and looked like Germany won the war. The country roads need fixing, the same as everything else. It will be Indian summer, as soon as the community can rustle up couple of Indians. The Q. Pabrlck boy has a radio on his 4d. Double punishment. w Tuesday marks the opening of the deer season, and many of the leading hunters have served notice that If they get shot for one, It will be on the Main Stem. Frederick Pry, the tonsorlallst, was up to E. TJlrich's on his week-end, Inhaling country air and grub. Money continues scarce and quite noticeably so. . The days have been hot, and the nights cool, which Is Just what the win em a ken ordered. Robert Stanfleld, once a US. sena tor, by grace of Republican votes, came out last week for Roosevelt and Gamer, and made fun of the party that honored him. Mr. Stanfleld is still wondering why the Republican party rooted him out of a fat berth. Quite a few males from upstate were here the past week, and looked J ai-iasi er tnan ine nomeguaroa, me womenfolks say. Everybody Is mad. and waiting for , somebody elst to spend a I, so they can inter it In their own backyard. The burg has neither lost nor gained a gas silo, the past 4 months. The farmers have started cussing for rain. A Callfornlan was caught turning around In the middle of the block Wed., but he knows enough not to try that trick at home. The first country school ma'ams of the season were seen on the streets Sat., and as a rule they are better looking than their sisters of the urban areas. A move was launched Prl. to find an honest man. This looks like a scheme for Ed Lamport to sell his surplus of lanterns. The co. ct. was over to Klamath last week, to see if some way could not be figured out to keep indigent transients from circulating this win ter too freely between the two cities, as' every starving clttzun on that side of the Cascades Is from Medford, and on this side from Klamath. It was argued that If a. man was too poor to buy hts own beans, he was too poor to buy gasoline. A shipment of Canadian ltqxior went through last wk., which eluded capture by friend and foe alike. Voters have started to ask how can didates ptand on Prohibition as If that counted. Fall lying and plowing will soon be ! underway. Every third liar should be plowed under. i Doc Gltzen reported Prl. that 50 ! horses had died In the county of sor.teV.il&g he could not pronounce.' The 60 horses died In the last six weeks not since the discovery of gold at Jacksonville in 1833. e Fish caught and packed at Astoria will be swapped for pears. This is putting in a boost for the fishing In dustry here. i Nobody had a two-story house stolen last week on account of the economic situation. It begin, to look a IX the people are no longer able to aupport the government in the aame style it ha. been accustomed to florid Time-Union. Another Charge Refuted IF THE Maii Tribune answered all the falsehoods circulated against it- all the misrepresentations made concerning it, there would be no room in its columns for anything else. For many months in fact for many years our morning contemporary has been conducted on the principle that THE ONLY WAT TO MAKE A SUCCESS OF THE NEWSPAPER BUSINESS, IS TO ABUSE ITS COMPETITOR. We haven't the space to itemize the list of our crimes (as charged), but we believe that the recent diabolical attack of a fiend in human form, is the only" outrage for which this news paper HASN'T been held directly or indirectly responsible, by the opposition. All of which is rather amusing, and for the reason above stated, only deserves to be ignored. ' ..... OUT now and then something is charged, which can't in jus tice to this paper be ignored, for it has a sufficient AP PEARANCE of truth to be believed, unless it is refuted. On Saturday, for example, the News stated the Mail Tribune and Ashland Tidings had refused to print a communication from Attorney M. O. Wilkins, candidate for district attorney, and therefore, charges: "The Tribune desire to feed 1U victim, that U It benighted readers, with only on aide of any political question, which la proof that they are controlled by a apeclal privilege clasa, who wlih to put over apeclal privilege candidate.." The Mail Tribune did not print the Wilkins communication for the reason that it contained approximately 1100 words, whereas it is a rule and has long PURELY POLITICAL COMMUNICATIONS must be condensed to approximately 300. Mr. Wilkins apparently knew this, for in his communication he wrote, that if his offering exceeded our space limits he would bring the matter treated before the people, in his speaking campaign. We have written Mr. Wilkins, what we inform all correspon dents, whether tfcey favor or oppose this paper's policy, that we will be glad to give him space if he will reduce his communi cations to conform with the long established rules of this paper. IT would probably severely tax an adding machine to total the number of communications, printed in this paper, from the "other side" during the past. 15 or 20 ..years. In fact we have often been criticized by extreme partisans for being too fair to the opposition. DUT this is the Mail Tribune's policy and has always been its policy. We are always glad to give ANYONE a hearing, provide4 they comply with police and libel regulations, and the subject matter is proper but we do exercise the right to reject communications of unreasonable length. This is also the Ashland Tidings rule. It is the rule of . practically every daily newspaper in the United States. . CO this charge of subsidized press, of unfair press, etc., etc., is just, as true as other charges brought against the Mail Tri bune by the Daily News from day to day. It is all a rather transparent and to us pathetic effort on the part of one business to pull itself out of the mud, by con tinually THROWING MUD at its competitor. Honesty in Politics fJONESTY is not only the best policy, it is an inherent trait in human nature. People in the mass are invariably honest, the dishonest man is the exception. Unfortunately there are many exceptions, particularly dur ing a political campaign. There are candidates in this com munity, and every other, who having no just cause, manufacture one, out of their imagination, distort facts, garble the truth, make false accusations against their opponents, and behind a smoke screen of falsehood, expect to ride into public office. THHANKS to the depression, and a consequent atmosphere of discontent, resentment and suspicion, there is this year, more justification for this expectation than usual. The people are resentful, they are anxious to find a goat. Therefore they are more inclined to believe the worst of their fellow-man, than would be the case under more normal con ditions. - Nevertheless honesty, even in politics, continues to be the best policy. For chickens always come home to roost. As Lin coln said you can fool some of the people, all the time ; all the people some of the time, but NOT ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME ! Truth crushed to earth ahall rle. again, The eternal year of and are here; But error wounded writhe with pain, f And dlea among his worshipper. Sooner or Inter the honest man, whether in public life or out, wins the battle, and the dishonest man is beaten. This is true here and everywhere else; it is true in politics and out of politics. So those who tell the truth and know their cause is ju$t, should not be disheartened. Just as truth telling is inherent in human nature, so the survival of truth is a law of Nature. Not only does the falsifier fight against an opposition that continually increases, because fewer and fewer people continue to be deceived, but he fights against the "eternal years of God" and a fundamental law of Nature. So EVENTUALLY the garbler of the truth, even in politics, always fails, and in this valley, so torn hy needless dissension and strife, a recognition of that fact should help all right thinking people at the present time. TRIP 10 CRATER Ray Lyman Wilbur, United State secretary of the Interior, visited Crater Lake yesterday and was en thusiastic In his praise of the world wonder In early autumn eetting.

Today By Arthur Brisbane Hard To Be Brief, The Mellons Do Business, Yes, All Will Come Back, Earthquake, Down Below, Copyright King Feature Bynd., Ine In dealing with news, wis dom would write few lines about many things, not many words and lines about few things. But that is difficult. A few possess brevity. Mr. Will Rog ers is one. Montesquieu, as il lustrated in his "Spirit of Laws," was another- Cromwell, in his letters, a third. Perfect condensation in Gen esis described the creation of the world in fewer words than it takes a reporter to tell about the funeral of a woman too fat to be carried downstairs, her coffin lowered out of the win dow. Charles E. Du Bois, jeweler of Tuckahoe, New York, not able to explain the disappear ance of his wife and asked if he had killed her, was embarrass ed. Yesterday he killed himself. Suicide is confession. Mr. Mellon' company send a mil lion dollars worth of aluminum wire to Russia In trade for gasoline. Per haps he will use the gasoline to make more aluminum or carry around what he makes. Russians are hard pressed for food and farmers would be glad to trade wheat, potatoes to get gaso line for their cars. But they are not ORGANIZED. The wise Mellon brothers can al ways do business somehow. They suggest the man who raised rats and cats. He fed the rats to the cats, skinned the cats, sold the fur and fed the skinned cat carcases to the rat. Re always sold furs, never had to buy anything. At the request of'cyrua H. K. Cur tis, you will be glad to know that hi health la good Mr. Knickerbock er will answer the question: "Can Europe come back?" That question was asked when At tn came marching from the East and when the Black Death killed one quarter of all the people In Europe, also when, after Waterloo, England waa called bankrupt. And the conti nent worse than bankrupt. The answer always has been, and the answer Is now: "Yea, Europe will com back." And, In case It Interests you, the United states will also come back and you will ask yourself, with bitterness, "Why didn't I buy some thing, when prices were low?' Germany, by the way, 1 coming back without waiting for others. 300,000 young fighting Germans, well trained by the "Steel Helmets", are taken over by the German govern ment In auch a way as to evade the Versailles treaty. And Germans are laying the keel of a third "pocket size battleship," a kind that the Versailles treaty per mits, and, In spite of it smallness. more efficient than the bigger, more expensive cruisers built by England and the United States. It will out ahoot and outrun them. Violent earthquake shock In New Zealand. Just under your feet, "minor shock continuing regularly every few minutes," make us realize how grate ful we should be for earth's average stability. Lands, Islands, rise and fall, even continents slip around on the hard core of the earth like non-floating soap on the floor of a bath tub. The whole thing la wonderfully managed. A' gentleman in Cleveland adver tised a lecture "for women only" on "married love." The police for bade the lecture. Five hundred angry ladles almost tore down the auditor ium, and proved their business capac ity by getting in "refunds for tickets" S3 more than they had paid. Disappointed ladies may go to Reno and hear lawyers deliver lectures on "married love" free, and enlightening. Wall Street la blossoming out in all sort of virtues. The Stock Ex change Is particular about this and about that, even about short sellings to knock down prices. Now the committee on business tells broker they must not talk about politics, or send to customers anything that might seem like propa ganda for eiher Important political party. The United States has a gigantic supply of rubber on hand: Mr. Litch field. Mr. Firestone and other tiro makera have not tried to resist the temptation to buy rubber at four cents a pound, and lower.

APOLOGY TO WALL PAPER INDUSTRY May 38, 1932, the subject of the article In this column was "A Case of Wall Paper Poisoning." which had occurred in Eng land. I quoted the findings of the analyst one thlrd of a grain of arsenic In the 7-year-old child's body, end his ob servation that the arsenic was given off In gaseous form from the wall paper In the sitting room in the home of the lit tle victim, due to the effects) of spores of a kind of mold that grows vigorously on damp paper. The wall paper was dyed green with either Paris green (copper arsenlte) or Schwinfurt green (acteto-araenlte of copper). I called particular attention to the fact that the arsenic had been ab sorbed by inhalation of the gas form ed by the mold lest some "authori ties" explain that it was absorbed through the pores of the skin. So far, so good. But I went bn to that "arsenic is an Ingredient In many wall papers, In the ink or color, es pecially In green papers." That was where I tipped over the apple cart. The wall paper Industry o the United States didn't like It a bit. And I don't blame the wall paper Industry. I should have limited my assertion to apply to wall paper manufactured twenty or thirty years ago or earlier. Or I should have explained that the use of arsenical colors In the prepa ration of wall paper and artificial flowers Is now only of historical in terest In the United States the an allne colors having been universally adopted In these industries here. Mo doubt much wall paper still on the walls of old houses contains a large amount of arsenic and gives off arsenic compounds In gaseous form from the action of mold upon the paper. But the present wall pa per industry Is not responsible for that, so I offer this explanation and apology. While modern homes have no ar senic in the wall paper, if they have any wall paper, it is probably true that the hazard of chronic arsenical poisoning frem domestc and indus trial sources la much greater today than It hits ever been before. Fur workers and wearers, greenhouse workers, orchard and garden workers (arsenic In sprays), hide handlers, taxidermists, makers or handlers of sheep dip, glass makers, smelters, etc., are exposed. Arsenic compounds are much used in preservatives and Insecticides, In baths, powders, sprays. Persistent conjunctivitis, coryea, nothing." That will sound strange a few years hence, when science will make all of our rubber synthetically, the rubber trees growing In peace, untapped. Good Republicans, Including Mr. R. W. Robey, suggest that alleged Demo cratic plans t help the farmer would "mean a paternalistic attitude toward agriculture and a burden on the treasury." Another good Republican reveals the fact that the treasury re cently handed to Mr. Dawes' bank in Chicago NINETY MILLION DOLLARS to help it out of trouble. 10 handed to a farmer is "pater nalism." 890,000,000 handed to one bank Is "statesmanship." Jenkins' Comment (Continued from Page One ) "Sure!" the inspector responded; feeling that the buck had been pass ed and the incident closed. OUT he didn't know Postmaster Delzell, and he didn't know the people of Klamath Falls. Bill hustled around and got a lot of property owners along one or two streets to let contracts for new side walks. Which settled the sidewalk question. But the job of numbering the I houses remained. It looked, like quite a Job. But Bill was equal to It. He hatched up a scheme that for quick results was certainly a honey. IS went around to the hardware " stores and had them dig up all the house numbers they had on hand and order some more for quick de livery. Then he took the public into his confidence. The upshot of it all was that the loyal people of Klamath, who wanted carrier delivery of msll and didn't care how they got It Just so they GOT IT. came down to the hardware stores and picked out such numbers as at the moment happened to strike their fancy and took them home and nailed them up on their houses see ing to it carefully that they were out In plain sight. The fact that there was no se quence to the numbers didn't bother anybody a bit. It wasnt sequence of numbers that people wanted. It was carrier delivery of mall. And they were relying on Bill Del zell to get It for them. pAMR the next week, as they used to say In the silent movie tl'lea. And c imiv also, back from the Lake view country, the postoff.ee Inspec tor. Bill nailed him as soon as he ar rived in town, and hustled him out Brady, 01 D. eczematous rashes, anemic pallor and obscure nervous lesions without known cause should arouse suspicion of chronic arsenic poisoning. One manufacturer of wall paper sends me detailed description of the Marsh tests for arsenic, which any high school elementary student can perform. Hyposulphite of soda (photogra pher's hypo) is still a good antidote or remedy for chronic arsenic poi soning. Twenty grains of It may be taken Internally, with a glass of water or some sweetened or flavored syrup, twice a day for a period of several weeks. Whatever may happen In England, there is now no reason to fear arse nic poisoning from wall paper in the United States or Canada. QL'ESTIONH and answers Negro Blood Is there any way to tell If a baby has any negro blood, if it has even a thirty-second part negro blood? (Mrs. R. O.) Answer. There Is no known way to distinguish negro blood from white blood. The legend that a black baby (throwback) may be born to white or light gray parents some genera tions after an admixture of black or dark gray blood Is not borne out In actual life. The offspring Is always as white as the average of the two parents. The blood of a negro is in all respects identical with the blood of a w.hite person. - Crude Atempt to Dry Up Please give your opinion of the advice In this magazine article. It strikes us as an un physiological sug gestion. (D. S. M.) Ans. The advice, which purports to be medical, Is that children should have no milk or other liquid after 3 or 3:30 p. m., so that they can re main dry over night. It is not only unphysiological but Irrational. The bed-wetting child should have milk at the evening meal and reasonable amounts of water to drink If thirsty, 'if your child wets the bed, write in, give the child's age, enclose a stamp ed envelope bearing r your address. We will mall you instructions for correcting the habit. Instructions will not be given unless you make It clear you are the parent or guardian of the child. Witch Hazel In my twenties I did mu&h yacht ing off New Jersey and Long Island coasts. In the spring when I started In X bathed my face, neck and shoul ders with witch hazel several times a day.

"See those sidewalks being built?" he demanded. "Yep, I see 'em," the Inspector re turned. TPHEN Bill played his big trump. He drove the Inspector all over town, up one street and down the other. Any everywhere If you look ed In the right places were house numbers. "See those house numbers?" Bill barked. "Yep, they're there all right," the Inspector admitted. "How the devil did you ever get a numbering ordi nance through your city council and get your numbers up so quickly7" Oh, we don't let any grass grow under our feet here," Bill answered. QO the Inspector recommended car rler delivery, and his recommen dation went through and Klamath Falls got what It was after. At least, that's the way Bill tells the story. Those were the great old days in this town. We of the later years have certainly missed a lot that was GOOD. 4 Communications Wants Paper to Come Out To the Editor: There seems to be a great deal of concern shown In your columns about Pehl's strength in the country dis tricts in connection with his candi dacy for the county Judgeship. In fact, from some of the pub licity given Pehl In your paper, It could be construed that he Is a pro duct of the country districts. Fehl Is a Medford product. He belongs to your great city and will be elected to office .by your city (If elected), not by the country district. Fehl polled about MOO votes against Wilson for mayor. Practically these aame votes gave him the Republican nomination for Judge with only 3400 vote in a race that could not get started. Pipes defeated l"ehl for your city when you needed him. He can do It again. The country districts, outside of the corn belt, are no more Interested In Fehl than they are In Medford. sewer problem, which some one ha said Fehl Is full of. However, many of the subscribers to the Mall Tribune ARE Interested In seeing your paper come out for a candidate. Tou are assuming a great responsibility by your silence. Respectfuly yours, S. R. B. (Name on file.) Ed. Note: Our correspondent need have no fear. The Mall Tribune will support a candidate for county Judge when the entry list ta closed.

Recall Circulator Denies She Is Employed by Anyone; Admits She Gets 10 Cents per Name Editor's Note: On Friday morning the Ashland Tidings called this office, and In formed us Mrs. Adah Deakin, circula tor of the No. ton recall In that city was on the p'inne, and asked If we would like to speak to her. We spoke to her. We asked hr If she was receiving ten cents a name for her work as circulator and she said she was. We asked if she would tell us who paid the ten cents. She said she would not, but that she would explain the entire arrange ment In a communication she was mailing us, which is printed below addressed to the Ashland Tidings. This communication may explain everything to Mrs. Deaklns' satisfac tion, but It explains nothing to this paper, and we fear nothing to the people of the county. How can a person who had admit ted to this newspaper, and to persons In Ashland before witnesses, that she Is being paid ten cents a name for signatures, declare at the same time no one employs her. Isn't securing names at ten cents each, a form of employment? Editor's Note: Mrs. Adah Deakin on Wednesday visited the Daily Tidings office and volunteered the information she was circulating petitions asking the recall of Judge H. D. Norton. The Infor mation was accepted for Its news value. As she left the office with out any inquiry being made, Mrs. Deakin volunteered the Information she was being paid 10 cents per name. Thursday site visited the Daily Tid ings office a second time to state she was securing a satisfactory num ber of names oh the petitions. Inas much as there is much mystery about the "parentage" of the recall peti tions, Mrs. Deakin having so freely volunteered other Information, we courteously asked her If she could or would divulge the name of her em ployer, or employers. She said she could not and no further effort was made although we believe our readers should know the sponsors as well as the paid circulators of any petition. Mrs. Deakin visited this office for a third time today apparently irate and excited because we had Informed our readers of the Information she volunteered the fact she receives 10 cents per name for each signature she secures. She left a communication, a copy of which she addressed to other newspapers In the county, in which she says she is "not employed" Flight 'o Time (Medford and Jackson Count) History from the Files ot The Mall Tribune of ) and to Year o.)

SoutK San FrttvHm and at the same time repeats the fact she received 10 cent per name re peating the fact to the editor of the Medford Mail Tribune who had ex pressed a wish to talk with her, and whom she said she would be glad to meet. We publish the communica tion with this statement: She receives 10 cents a name yet "nobody employed me.' She irately charges us with unfair ness for the publication of Informa tion which she volunteered. We were forced to correct Mrs. Deakin. The communication Is "clear as mud" as to the reasons for the recall petition and Mrs. Deakin's remarks are equally clear. But the fact remains. She gets 10 cents per name for each signature she gets at least that was her vol unteered statement. So the Tidings May Know How I Am Paid Nobody employed me. I am work ing for the protection of our rights as citizens. The recall power of the people Is a sacred trust and as much a duty of every citizen as his duty to vote. A Recall simply puts an officer whose term Is unexpired back on the ballot. If the voters think he Is square and honest he Is retained, if not the voters recall him on elec tion day, Nov. 8. It Is our privilege, our duty to recall any officer who does not conduct his office In a Just way. The pover of the people to keep officers in line is a sacred trust and Is used too sparingly. A people who refuse to use the power that be longs to them soon finds that they have been over-ridden. The only fel low who has any rights Is the one who maintains them. Gang rule In office can be checked, controlled, stamped out by the exercise of the Recall. Now there Is a fund in this county raised by a large number of law-abiding citizens who Intend to see to Jt that officers in the employ of the people of this county keep to the business of their office And represent the people In that capacity. I do not know the name of the treasurer of this organization so Dear Miss John son you are out of luck. And as for the rest of It the signers of the Recall are exercising a lawful right and strictly speaking it's none of your business. Did that get home? If it did. pass It along to the rest of your Republican friends. MRS. ADAH DEAKIN. (Aashland Tidings.) Horatio Franklin Wilson of 888 A street, old .time resident of Jackson county, died at .his home in Ashland Saturday. He is survived by hi wid ow, Anna Wilson, of Ashland; a brother, Oeorge O.
