A gambling revolt Is In order. DN1EPROPETRO VSK (formerly Btaterlnoslav), Oct. t Russian trains have taken to running on tlme (Oregonlan.l Another time a chango failed to help any. A man with a grievance, yesterday 'wrote to the governor," Instead of cussing Hoover. 0 After a visit to Eugene, the Impres sion Is gained that banning of autos from the University of Oregon cam pus, also OSC, Is the most terrible thing In the way of an atrocity, since the Turks got aftr the starving Armenians. Saturday we actually saw a Medford student walking, and expecting every step to be his last one. The high tax howl, which has been overworked the past two years, In propoganda circles, Is now being em ployed as a means to thwart the re routing of the Paclflo highway over the Sleklyous. The project would benefit valley labor, valley business, and valley industries. Not one dime of money raised by local taxation would be used, the M65.000 being federal funds. Labor and buslneas would be paid In legal tender, not coonsklns, lOU's, and loud promises. This would be a step towards the re turn of Prosperity, and a happier people, many of whom have been looking for work since they got their electrlo lights for nothing. The Sis klyous project is the sole bright ray In the winter prospects, and the ob ject Is to render It unconscious, with a political harangue on the taxes, and the fear they will mount. No other i county In the state la so reluctant about helping Itself. Maybe the civic back Is sprouting moss again. Three expert coagulated In this office yesterday, and only an open door and a kindly Providence saved your eorr. from being ruthlessly taken apart and readjusted. What does a hunter, who shoots a white horse for a deer, think abouul during the closed season on deer? An upstate sports editor wants to know why It required three hours to play the Stanford-OSO. game last Saturday. Well, from this distance It looks like the OSC. players did not get up fast enough, and, maybe the Stanford coach was striving for a victory, Instead of a tie score. Attys Port Neff and Judge Kelly plan to drag their vocal organs across the county, In behalf of the Demo cratic party, and a number of Repub lican orators will sally forth to save America, before October Is deceased. The city, county, and nalton are now In the midst of the campaign slogan business, and, believe It or not, they are purposely Intended not to mean anything. Take the Demo cratic slogan. "Hawl Hawl Hawl" No body knows whether they are laugh ing at themselves, or the Socialist candidate, or the Republican victor. And, what does It mean, and what does It tell? Take the homegrown slogan: "Keep Your Hand on Your Pocketbook. and Your Mind On Your Tax bills." Why not save wind and nay, "Safety First, and Taxes Never." A much more fitting war cry would be: Foundations Shaken and Salvation Pres. Getting back to the pocket, book angle of the slogans, why not chirp: Open Up the Wallet, Before the Moths Chew Their Wsy Out, or, LEND MS YOUR EARS, and 13. The !otns lack alncerlty. They don't mean what they say, any more than tha candidate In the country, who sires up his audience, and noting the women, says, "I'm glad to see so many babies here tonight." Deep In his heart he wishes the babies had whiskers and could vote. Understand, no candidate would deceive you. He likes babies, and flrepliM.es, and the pure country air, but most of all, your vote. No slogan la worth the lung power required to spout It. Our own slogan, "Leave Hell Enough Alone," does not coma under this clssslflcstlon, and la too good to be true, or followed, or used. The Demo cratic party gave the creator of the "Hawl Hawl Hawl" a $1000 prise. They wouldn t tun the government that way. Good Music Is "Music hath charms to soothe tha savage breast. To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak." IT IS from this standpoint that the present drive for ruember- ship in the Civic Music association, becomes, a movement of real local importance. When discouraging economic conditions have released so many "savage" instincts, when the road of life is strewn with so many "rocks" of adversity and lined with so many "knotted oaks" of fear and doubt; the charms and subtle curative powers of good music are needed in a community more than ever be fore. There is no need this year, as there was last, in trying to Bell the idea to the people of this city. The members know by experience, the high quality of the music, the diversity and stimulation of the programs offered. The only question for the individual is "can I afford it!" For those who enjoyed the concert series last year however, the question, better expresses the true situation, when phrased as follows! . "CAN I AFFORD TO MISS IT." The benefits of good music, to those who love music are real benefits, benefits to body and to mind.' Music, perhaps better than anything else answers Milton's prayer: "What la dark In ma Illumine, What Is low, raise and support I" And in that answer, the poor struggling humans, particularly in this "winter of our discontents go forth strengthened and inspired, better able to bear their burdens manfully; better able not only to think better things, but to do better work. So we are glad to endorse the drive of the Civic Music association this year as we did last. Instead of regarding it as of less importance, we regard it as more. The Local Movie Tangle THE Mail Tribune hopes some satisfactory arrangement may " be reached whereby the Holly theatre can be kept open. This is an independent theatre, locally owned and operated, and a genuine asset to the town. To have it closed would give the town a black eye. The Holly theatre makes certain publio charges against Fox West, Coast, of unfair competition, such as buying up all the high grade pictures, o independent theatres can get none, buying more than they can posib!y use, merely to crush out competition. The Fox-West Coast representative flatly denies the truth of this charge, and maintains they are naturally buying up the best pictures they can find, but they will USE THEM ALL, not to crush competition, but to raise the standard of their product. We refuse to take sides in a controversy of this sort. It is a matter for tho courts not the newspapers to decide. BUT WE DO FEEL, that Medford is a big enough place, and a good enough movie town, to support two FIRST CLASS theatres, and we believe the people feel the same way about it. We suggest to the two leading movie theatres, that instead of fighting each other, they get together, and perfect an arrange ment looking toward this end, ... in tho long run, a better arrangement not only for the town, but in OUR CONSIDERED JUDGMENT for BOTH parties concerned I A Great Contrast TTHERE is certainly no question of President Hoover's cour- age. In speaking in Iowa, he is invading the enemy's territory, the most hostile section in the entire farm belt at the present time. And he is going to speak to the farmers, on the farm prob lem. If that does not take intestinal fortitude, then what does! 'T'lIE progress of the president's special across the country, certainly presents a marked contrast to the Franklin Roosevelt train. The president looks "sad, worn but determined." He doesn't bounce about, shake his hands above his head, in true "movie star" style, cheerily chirp about what he is going to do after he enters the White House, on March 4th next. He greets the crowds with quiet friendliness and sincerity, Mrs. Hoovor by his side. But to ories for. a speech he shakes his head. He is no professional orator, no rear platform rabble rouse. He merely says: "WE ARE DOING WHAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN, AND SHOULD DO, TO HELP ITS PEOPLE." That's all. DUT when all is said and done, we wonder if that isn't a GOOD DEAL. We wonder if the American people along the right of way, from Washington to Des Moines, when they return to their homes, won't remember those quiet, simple words ! "We are doing what the government can, and should do to to help its people." No boasting or bravado. No political clap trap. No glitter ing generalities. No gilded promises. No claim the government is doing anything more than it should do at such a oritical time. But, every day, in every way, it is doing its very best to help the people of this country. IN spite of the rural parades of protest, engineered by the op posing politicians; in spite of the hoots and cat calls, of hired provocateurs; we wonder if the complete truth, and deep spiritual significance of those words, won't sink into the hearts and minds of the people of this country, before this campaign is over. We have an idea they will. We have an idea the rank and file, the plain men and women of this country, not partisans for either side, but those who determine elections nevertheless, will come to appreciate tho real worth, the genuine ability, and the deep, unswerving and unselfish devotion of the man who has occupied the White House the past three years. The man who has done all he could do to help the people of his country during a most critical period, and who if re-elected, and with the benefit of that experience, will do his very best for four years more.

Anybody who does not know already will soon know how much the League of Nations amounts to when it comes to dealing with a nation of im portance. The league solemnly passes judgment on Japan's course in MHnchukuo. Japan is condemn ed, VERT WICKED, INDEED. Newspapers in Tokio call the decision an insult, and Japan announces that she will pro ceed in Manchukuo as hitherto, paying no attention to the league. She will decide later whether or not to resign from the league. What will the league do about it! Exactly nothing, as Interesting things are seen looking out of a window. The Irish lady In Eva Gore Booth'a poem preferred the Uttle Irish road that passed her house to "the grand road from the moun tain." with "traffic on It, and many a horse and cart." The East River flows aa the tide rites and falls, Just below the window Wiere this Is written. There is much trafflo on that, and occasionally things more exciting than tug boats, passenger boat and hydroplanes. You see a ship landing a cargo of boxes neatly wrapped In brown paper. That means "bootleg." You see mild excitement at the edge of the wharf, a policeman run ning. Some man "sleeping It off" on the strlngplece, Just above the water, has fallen over. YeaKsrday the event of the day was unusual. On the Manhattan bridge, a little to the left where heavy sus pension cables run at a sharp curve from the floor of the bridge to the top of tall towers, George Kennedy, 70 years old, undoubtedly demented, could be seen walking steadily up one of the cablea. He reached the top, looked around. His plan was to Jump down 300 feet and go to another world of other rivers. While he thought about It, two policemen, as swiftly as possible, were scrambling up the cable after him. They could be aeen presently, arguing with him aa he stood at the edge. They all came down together. Hundreds gath ered, trafflo waa blocked. The Grand Old Party, listening while women make speeches for the Republican ticket "on the Mr." Cam palgn managers, fearing that women will make speeches too long, Implore them to be "brief and funny." Brevity la good, humor on the air Is not so good. Speakers should re member that their "unseen audience" la 90 per cent "broke" and talk ac cordingly. If you lack a Job you want serious talk, not Jokes. President Hoover knows that. Be fore he was elected or nominated Secretary of Commerce, he paid much attention to radio. He told this writer: "Those that listen do not care for Jokes, and, above all, they object to anything In tht way of unpleasant personalities or abuse." In singing you may do aa you like, but In talking you are expected to stick to facts and make tt short. Here and there one man "flays" a candidate on the other side of the fence. Another man "flays" and "klnft alive" the candidate of the first speaker. And nobody pays much attention. The average citizen would like to be told how somebody, anybody, pro perns to start the wheels turning and the payrolls Increasing. Nobody seems to have definite plans about that, and "flaying" your opponent Is not particularly consoling, no matter who does It. The vault In which the Bank of France keeps the French billions of dollars In gold coin and gold bars, Including much American coin. Is a real vault. The gold Is far down In the earth, surrounded with fifteen feet of steel protection. Three sets of elevators lead down to It, The vault door la of hardest steel two feet thick. When officially closed, a little electric loco motive moves a turret of solid steel fifteen feet wide which Is locked to the walls In front of the door, clos ing It up. Provision Is made for employes entrusted with the cre of the gold, enabling them to itay under the ground Indefinitely If Paris were taken. Times have changed.

THE BUSINESS OF BREAKING DOWN FLESH. The Jolly, solid, wholesome looking young woman who conducts a suc cessful beauty establishment came ataggering from a treatment room, panting and per spiring and fell limply Into a aeat. From the room had come for twenty min utes a n u n d a as though a couple -of tough girls were having a lively bout with six-ounce gloves. . My dear, what has happened?" in quired an anxious aunt. "Nothing, nothing. panted the pro prietress, sagging wearily down upon her back. "Just a reduction treat ment." "But, why under the sun? You don't need to reduce, child I" "No, I know It, but I have to. These fat dames must have their massage and pounding to break down the flesh, you know." Now that the diet fad la on the wane, a good many of our parasitic class are going in for reduction by physical methods massage, baths, electricity, pretty lights, etc., these attentions being guaranteed to break down the superfluous flesh or tat or to melt or soften It somehow so that it can be readily "absorbed" or caused to vanish. A lot of people In the moronic grade believe that some kind of mysterious soap or salts or other ingredient of a bath will reduce or aid in the reduction of superfluous fat or flesh. To the millions of morons in this country the beauty experts unblush lngly promise either reduction or "de velopment" of any part of the body to which the simple minded dupe will apply this or that salve or simi lar concoction. If this sort of humbug were perpe trated only or mainly upon the lazy parasites I'd applaud the game, for I like to see such people outsmarted by their Intellectual superiors. But, alas, the racket derives its support largely from poor Uttle factory hands, shop girls, stenographers and sales girls. These have to work hard for their wages, and It seems a scandal that the fake reduction business is sanctioned here In Dollarland. Icanstateaaanabsolute physiologi burled the money, paid largely In five franc silver pieces, In the ground at Spandau. One good bomb would have blown the whole thing Into the air. For France tt Is gold, not silver, and If anything could be bomb-proof that gold vault Is bomb-proof. And, of course, If Paris were taken, engi neers would soon find a way to get the gold, but the vault has much psychological VfUue. It makes the French feel rich, and they are rich. 1 Jenkins' Comment (Continued from Page One ) SO DON'T despair of the future. Don't listen to the croakers who tell us that our best days In this country are past, and that we shall never again see times aa good as they have been. Remember that the croak ers were saying this same thing away back in the eighties, telling people that Industry and progress had gone aa far as was possible. In the eighties, we know now, In dustry and progress hadn't even made a good start. This writer, who Is a constitutional optimist, and whose Fifty and Fit S tS A MAN is as old or as young as his organs. At fitly, you can be in your orimt. Whv pi nlonij with "fairly Rnod health when you might he enjoying vigor you haven't felt for years? There's a simple little thing any one can do to keep the vital organs stimulated, and feel lit all the time. People don't realize how sluggish they've grown until they've tried it. The stimulant that will stir your system to new life is Dr. Caldwell's syrup pepsin. It will make a most amazing difference in many ways. This famous doctor's prescription is a delicious syrup made with fresh herbs, active senna, and pure pep sin. It starts its good work with the cal fact that no massage or pound ing, manual or mechanical, no rub bing or vibrating or compression or other manipulation or passive move ment will appreciably reduce or in crease the size or development of any part of the human body. No fear that this will be contradicted, because It Is an absolute fact. ( I can assure every Interested per son that any loss of weight produced by any bath or any method of apply ing heat Is merely the weight of the water evaporated In the sweat and by the lungs if the treatment pro duces panting. This loss is Invariably made good within 36 hours by the intake of water tn food or drink. Finally I can state without fear of competent contradiction, that the only means by which satisfactory and healthful reduction can be procured In any case Is rational dieting, with daily exercise suitable to the Indi vidual condition, and, in certain cases special medication by the physician to correct glandular or 'internal se cretion deficiencies. - QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Typhoid Carrier, Can a person be a typhoid carrier If he has never had it? If so, how does he get the germs? Is there any treatment for a carrier that will get rid of the germs J. E. B. Answer No. In some cases the original attack of typhoid fever bad been wrongly diagnosed as "malaria." "stomach fever" or Intestinal iiu. Cholecytectomy (removal of gall blad der) has cured the carrier state in 48 out of a fccrtcs of 60 cases. That Eyes. I bathe my eyes with boric acid. also tried salt water, but my eyes stick when I use either . . . Miss W. K. Answer Unless there Is some spe cific condition for which ydur physic ian prescrlbea drops or eye wash, it is better not to. bathe the eyes. If you insist on bathing your eyes, a heaping teaspoon ful of common salt in a pint of boiled water Is the least Irritating eye wash. Use It lukewarm. Tea and Coffee. Does the drinking of tea or coffee to relieve a tired or run-down feeling constitute a dangerous habit? F.H.L. Answer Your question is too in definite. The moderate consumption of tea and coffee by adults Is gener ally wholesome and healthful. (Copyright, John F. Dille Co.) opinions therefore must be taken with a grain of salt, believes they haven't ma'de a good start YET. We're going to see far better times In the future than we've ever seen before.

Even at the risk of seeming presumptuous, the undersigned wishes to amplty your excellent editorial on the losing out of the "radical" Governor La Folletw of Wisconsin In the recent election. Splendid as was your editorial dealing with the situation, high lights were omitted, whlGh, In the opinion of the undersigned, makes It a iisU-truth. They are (1) The heavy swing of the Reps- to the Dems.; from 17.000 In '30 to 135,000 In '32. This In Itself explains much. (3) The 310,000 fsmltes In dire want. They will require B20.000.000 for the coming year, a sum not sufficient for them to live on but too much to die on. La Follette would, It the event of his re-election pry this money out of the Income of the upper ten per cent. Accordingly, (3) some thing had to be done. Something was done. About 1350,000 was spent by Mr. Kohler and his well-to-do associates In the name of everything that Is Amerl csn and holy; and the law still holds. I. a. the law that holds that that party succeeds which spends the most money. (Buchanan Is a nota ble exception.) La Follette lost out. Kohler's workers were efficient and a finer bunch of political pirates never scut tled a ship. (5) All Is fair In love, war and politics. Mud oozed every where where It could do the most good. "Radicalism" was played up plenty. It seeped Into the thick skulls of the voters like water Into a rat bole. "Radicalism was driving capital out of the state" was shout ed everywhere. The case of the Park er Pen company building In Canada to handle their export trade, was cited as an Illustration. The presi dent of the company, Parker, denied that radicalism had anything to do with the move, but the tariff ex plained everything. La Follette, no doubt, considers himself lucky In his defeat. Since office-holders are held responsible for economic situations, the king pins will sure have the sympathy of R. HECNER. Gold Hill, 10-3-33. 1 : Klamath Council Backs Rate Stand KLAMATH FALLS.

Phipps is now evident. Note what independent newspapers say: "This paper was among the supporters of Mr. Fehl last spring. We have never supported the Medford 'gang' and never will. We lived in Med ford many years and have had first-hand knowledge of how these men have worked. We decided some time ago that if we could no longer support Fehl we would turn to a man who has long been known as a strong opponent of 'gang rule.' a man who started an opposition newspaper in Medford for the sole reason that it was at that time impossible to get anything published which disagreed wilh the wishes'of the 'gang.' We mean William E. Phipps. Here is a man of mature years, who has the proper legal training necessary to handle Hie probate and juvenile court matters and who thoroughly understands the needs of Jackson county. The Medford political machine does not want him. They saw the handwriting on the wall in regard to Fehl. The v saw that he was losmsr support on account of tlie recall agitation and feared it meant Phipps for judge. So thev hastily thrust Mr. Gates into the race to save their gravy train.' " Central Point American. We believe, for the office of countv judge of Jackson county, there is but one man fitted for Wi-Jins 1,ialifiprl himself in the primaries. N llliam E. Phipps. who made a creditable race in the spring, came by the nomination fairlv and without mudslin-ring nnd is the logical choice. Others have filed for the position as independents, but they should not be considered bv fair voters because they have attempted to enter the race in the last lap without taking their chances in the primaries. And, as the American people are noted as .'lean sportsmen the worl, over, we believe that more and more voters will see the advantages of electing Phipps county pulcc and shv awav from noisy Karl I,. hi and self-seeking independents who were no 'petitioned to enter the race.' but were admittedly out trying to r-hisel in on a countv M.n..nvr.T,rMrxT -Jacksonville Miner Flight 'o Time (Medford and JacJuun Couutj History from the riles ol Thr stall Tribune of and 10 Hear. o.
