One of the major crimes, of the
week, Is the ruling effective at the
Hliher Inetltutlone of Learning, ior
bidding college etudente to have and
operate autos. The co-eds and the
co'eddles at OSC, determined to do
no walking, have adopted the home
and buggy aa a means of getting
placei, and It did not take them no
time at all to have a runaway. A
couple of Lambda Chi glrla were
dumped out on the sidewalk, when
during a race with the Sigma Kappa
vehicle, they hit a curb, Instead of a
phone pole. The new order makes It
tough on one of man's best friends
the horse, who will prODamy get cur
ried as often as the auto was washed.
On the other hand, a .number of
Dads In Oregon will not have to walk
to and from their work for the next
three semesters. Most of the college
boys come home poorer auto drivers
than when they went away.

Baseball vs. Politics j
WELCOME to the world series. It represents a lucid interval
in a crazy world. For there is this important difference ;
between baseball and politics. In baseball they have UMPIRES! I
They have no umpires in politics. Whether a man is in or
out depends, not upon the FACTS, but upon the FANS. If.
more fans want him in than out, he is in, he may not deserve
to be in, he may have nothing on the ball, after he gets there,
but that makes no difference. "Vox populi, Vox Dei!"
The absurdity and futility of politics, as one of our great
national sports, can readily be seen, by applying the rules of
politics to today's .opening game, to-wit:
lIKI Cuyler slides for third and misses by a foot. But Kiki
is a colorful lad, with a winning way, and an aged mother
to support. The fans cheer his gallant effort, and as Kiki rises,
brushes the dust from his face and takes a bow, they cheer him
again.
If politics had an umpire, Kiki would be called out, and
forced to the bench. But there are no umpires in politics.
So, Kiki of course is safe.
e e e
THE Tanks come to bat in the last half of the ninth. The
score is tied 5-5. Babe Ruth steps to the plate, takes a
lusty swing, and the ball soars over the right field fence, thus
winning the game.
But Babe Ruth is unpojtular, as an "In" he has been a hero
too long. The fans are tired of him and want to see the Cubs
win,- So this home run smash is jeered and booed, seat cushions
and pop bottles narrowly miss the Bambino's head.
Ruth of counio is called out. For there arc no umpires in
politics. .
I 'iiwRE ARE umpires in baseball. If Cuyler misses third by
a foot, the fans may cheer and yell their heads off, it
makes no difference Kiki is out.
If Babe Ruth knocks a home run, the fans Tnay curse and
jcor, that makes no difference. Ruth wins the ball game.
That is why baseball is one of the best sports in the country,
and politics, by all odds, the worst. It is also why, it is such
a relief to turn for a few days from a cock-eyed topsy turvy
mesa like politics to a straight shooting, fair and square gairie,
like baseball.
So on with the game, let joy be unconfined. Ring down the
curtain on politics for the week end.
'TLAY BALL I" .
Good Work, Oregonian!
UNDER the able direction of Paul Kolty, the Portland Ore
gonian is steadily increasing in power and influence
throughout the state.
.There was a time when the Oregonian was chiefly interested
in the Oregonian. To problems outside of Portland, it gave little
thought.
But thanks to Editor Kelty's broad-minded and incisive
leadership, this Belf satisfied and provincial policy has been
completely abandoned.
The Oregonian is now, what its friends so long prayed it
would be, a journal of outspoken opinion, and courageous
leadership, not only for Portland, but FOR THE ENTIRE
STATE.
A S evidence of this welcome change, the Oregonian has come
out strongly against commereial fishing, and for the de
velopmcnt of Rogue river aa primarily a game-fish and recrea
tional asset, to Southern Oregon and the state.
Nothing the Oregonian has done in a long time, has so
pleased its friends in Southern Oregon, and made for it so
many new ones.
With this powerful assistance, from what has in the past,
. ... .
l" " ouunb.iuu, m uj -
Kogue river closing, should be defeated at the fall election,
by a large majority,
Charactoristio of Mr. Kelty's policy, there is nothing half
hearted about the Oregonian 's support. The paper hits straight
from the shoulder and clinches its argument as follows:
The voters should disapprove with convincing finality the
referendum, appearing on the November ballot, which would
keep the celebrated Rogue river open to commercial fishing.
The Rogue is, you may be certain, no minor asset to the
state. It Is as renowned, though for a different reason, as
Crater Lake or the Columbia river highway. With the practice
of conservatism, and the stopping of commercial fishing. It
will constitute a perpetual source of revenue to the game fund
and to business and agricultural Interests. But a fish less river
soon ceases to be famous, and pays no taxes nor any account.
The present danger Is that the Rogue may be plundered of Its
hertlage, and the Issue Is one that has been continually before
the voters of Oregon, In this or that guise, for more than several
years. It ought to be settled this time, ONCE AND FOR ALL,
by approval of the law whioh would close It to net fishing.
Unprincipled Treachery
TpHE Mail Tribune has never been a partisan newspaper. It
has always plaeed principle above party, and always will.
In the last election it supported both Democrats and Republi
cans, solely on the absis of superior fitness for the jobs to which
they aspired, regardless of partisan considerations. It will do
the same In tha coming election.
So we do not question the right of Senator Norris of Nebras
ka, to desert his party and party leader, and go over to the
enemy.
But we do question hia right, or the RIGHT OF ANY
HAN, to desert the Republican party, conspire for its defeat,
give aid and counsel to tha enemy and TITCN OI-AIM, IN TUB
MC TRINT, THAT HE IS A BKTTKR RKri'BLICAN, THAN
THE STANDARD BEARER OF THAT PARTY.

1 eal independence. It IS brazen effrontery, on one hnnd;
and contemptible treachery on the other!
No matter how the election comes out, by this action,
Senntor Norris will lose and deserves to lose the rptvt and

Each day ten million Amer

"TVliat do you think of Gover

interested in the opinion of one
voter, W. R. Hearst, who writes
from Los Angeles.
"Mr. Roosevelt is going to be
elected surely, and during the
first four years of his adminis
tration we are going to get
back such good times that he
will probably be re-elected.
"Roosevelt is not a radical.
He has not done anything- radi
cal .in the four years he has
been governor of New York,
and that is the length of his
presidential term,
"Roosevelt is simply honest,
and of course that frightens
the high financiers more than
radicalism."
That last paragraph contains
political wisdom. It is easy to
deal with a man, conservative
or radical, who is not honest.
He "listens to reason." The
difficulty is with the honest
man that will not be bought or
coerced.

Sacco and Vanrettl to death live
years ago, after they had been con
victed of murder in Che first degree.
Yesterday Judge Thayer's house was
wrecked by a dynamite explosion, his
wife and a maid seriously Injured.
Judge Thayer refused to accuse or
suspect "any Individual or any or
ganization," saying: "X should hate
to think that because a man does his
duty before mankind and God his
penalty Is this."
There Is always a possibility of mis.
takes and that Is one of tha things
that makes capital punishment so
vile.

murder, risking the Uvea of Innocent

BANANAS

I learn from your column of the
value of ripe banana In Infant
feeding. Then In a very short
time the eczema cleared up. With
the second child the eczema ap
peared at the age of two months.
I followed your Instructions in
feeding banana, and had the
same successful results. Eczema
appeared on my third baby at the
age of three or four weeks. To
the horror of my relatives who
thought It almost Infanticide I
administered banana. Again It
worked. Ail the children now
have beautiful skins frequently
commented upon by strangers. Of
course. In the case or the last
baby I gave only minute quanti
ties of well ripened banana pulp
and at Intervals of soveral days.
But It always agreed with her per
fectly. In the Brady Baby Book, copy of
which will be mailed on request If
you Inclose a dime and a stamped
envelope bearing your address, I ad
vise At the age of four months begin
feeding the baby banana ... Be
sure the banana Is quite ripe . . .
'At first give only a spoonful or
less a day ...
Whether banana feeding will cure
infantile eczema I don't know. Per

As "Ithers" See Us!
As flagrant an example of the abuse
of the recall system ss has wme to
publlo attention la the current se
cret attack against circuit Judce H
D. Norton In southern Oregon. Spon
sorship and financing of the attempt
are being kept dark. Among circu
lators of the petitions are persona
who have been disappointed litigants
In Judge Norton's court. One of
them, asked by the press who were
the recall's sponsors, said. "The sign
ers of the recall are exercising a law
ful right, and. strictly speaking. It's
none of your business."
The whole circumstances of the
recall movement against Judge Nor
ton Indicate that It is a spite move
ment by a few disgruntled persons.
Yet people sign the petitions. A
thoussnd names have been obtained
atready. according to a news dispstc!.
A Medford newapsper the Daily
News that Is helping to promote the
recall, seeks to make capital of the
fact that eight affidavits of prejudice
were filed against the Judge. It de
clares, 'The affidavits are described
as a wholesale lack of confidence."
And yet It Is immediately shown thst
su of the e'gt afrcavit, were f 'M

OR BABIES,
to a liberal allowance of ripe banana.
Perhaps there Is no other remedy
so valuable in the treatment of the
constipation or alternating constipa
tion and diarrhea, associated with
the condition above mentioned.
For some unknown reason there Is
a popular prejudice against banana
a food for infants or children.
Probably this prejudice Is due to the
unpalatabillty and the unsultablllty
of green banana. All bananas are
harvested while green and shipped
before they are ripe. Only when the
banana !s thoroughly ripened Is It
really palatable and as digestible as It
Is nutritious. When a banana is ripe
enough to feed a baby the skin Is
brown with some spots still golden
yellow; the pulp is soft, but not
mushy. If the skin la not quite
brown it Is not yet ripe enough. If
banana Is used when the skin Is only
yellow, it should be boiled or baked
for feeding an Infant or Invalid. But
if It Is thoroughly ripe it Is most ef
fective when fed, raw. Vith ripening.
the starch In banana la converted to
sugar, and this change is not com
plete until the banana skin Is golden
yellow, flecked with brown spots,
or-almost entirely brown. Of course,
the black marks from bruises should
be distinguished from the brown spots
of ripening.
The excellent results from feeding
banana to puny, malnourished In
fants and children are probably In
part due to the vitamins (A, B, C. B
and even a limited quantity of D.)
in this nourishing, strengthening
food.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Illch Blood Pressure.
Please give the name, publisher and
price of some good book on high blood
pressure, telling about the diet, etc,
P. M.
Answer I cannot .recommend any
of the books I have seen. High blood
pressure is not an ailment, but merely
one sign or effect noted by the phy
slclan in his examination. In various
ailments. For that reason I consider
it unwise for the layman to attempt
to Interpret It, and I consider It mis
chievous and unwarrantable for An
alleged physician to. offer the latty
a book about It. I am glad to give
you some general advice In a mono
graph If you ask for It, tell me your
physician says you have high blood
pressure and inclose a stamped enve
lope bearing your address. Do not
expect any quackery about diet for
high blood pressure, however.

enth by the attorney for the News,
but in another case. No "wholesale
lack of confidence" Is Indicated by!
such circumstances, but merely a prl-1
vate grudge. i
The southern Oregon case brings i
Into sharp relief the peculiar abuse i
to which the recall can be applied
when directed against a member of
the Judiciary- A Judge, no matter
how conscientious, fair and regardful
he may be of the law as he inter
prets it, can at best please only one
half of the litigants before him with
his decisions. The other half con
stitute a perpetual potential threat
agalrast him and his tenure. They
or any of them may try to "get even"
at any time by starting a recall move
ment against him. The dignity of
his position does not permit the
Jude to go forth and defend himself
publicly, as other officials, similarly
assailed, may, do. The Judge under
unjust recall fire can only hope that
a majority of the voters will be de
cent and fair-minded.
There Is, we say, everything In the
circumstances surrounding the recall
attempt against Judge Norton to In
dicate that it deserves to fall. Port

CAMPAIGN STARTS
With all committee selections made
and prospects listed, the membership
committee of the Medford chamber
of commerce la ready for the start of
Its campaign for new members at
nine o'clock tomorrow morning, ac
cording to J. C. Thompson, commit
tee chairman in charge of the cam
paign.. Preliminary work of selecting
committees and sending information
to the chamber's actlvitiea was
completed at a meeting of the com
mittee yesterday afternoon.
Thla Is the first time since 1930
that the chamber has conducted an
organized campaign ffir membership.
and it has. been found necessary at
this time, In order to carry out the
contemplated program of work for
the remainder of the current fiscal
year. Present members of the organ
isation, numbering at the present
time 226 business and professional
men and women of the city, will not
be resoliclted, since the memberships
signed during the past campaign were
on a continuing basis, and only new
members will be sought.
The chamber's work during the
-present fiscal year, six months of
which have already passed, haa been
comprehensive, and has embraced a
great number and a large variety of
projects, was the statement made by
the membership committee In an
nouncing the campaign. One of the
most active committees of the cham
ber being the roads and highways
group, who initiated and aided In
carrying out the project for the re
construction and realignment of the
Pacific nlghway in southern Oregon,
secured a state allocation for the con
struction of the new road to Lake o
the Woods during the next two years;
has worked toward the construction
of the Diamond Lake road: promoted
the building of the Williams creek
road; and Is now presenting a plea
for keeping the Crater Lake highway
open this winter.
The chamber's publicity has ac
complished a great deal In the way
of community and southern Oregon
publicity, with the publication of an
edition of 16,000 recreational folders
leading the list of Its -publicity work.
This group also sponsored and pre
pared copy for the full-page adver
tisement which appeared In the sou
venir booklet for the National Legion
convention, and conducted a Jackson
county exhibit and open house dur
ing the convention. Compilation of
news stories for out-of-town news
papers and radio continuity advertis
ing southern Oregon were also done
under the Jurisdiction of this com
mittee. A new pamphlet on the dairy
industry of Jackson county, and ma
terial for a new county booklet have
been prepared, and many thousands
of pieces of literature on southern
Oregon have been distributed, a
