Politics have itartM to hum and

Some of the veterans of Prance

Robert Stanfleld, once a US. sena

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

A move was launched Prl. to find

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

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.

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.

to say In the silent movie tl'lea.

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. I never suffered from sun
burn. (C. E. K.)
Ans. Harmless, though I do not
believe It will prevent sunburn.

to where the men were working like
ants building sidewalks.
"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.

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.

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"

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.
