Straw Ballots and Straw Men
UR agitating, and somewhat agitated contemporsry, tho
7 Medford Newi, hai only one consistent policy to oppose
everything that the Mail Tribune favori.
This, of course, is always flattering, and sometimes amus
ing. It is flattering because it gives this paper the power of
determining the policies of its competitor. It is amusing, at
times, because it forces the morning paper into positions which
are ao childishly extreme as often to be grotesque.
LAST Thursday the Mail Tribune started a straw ballot, in
effort to gain some idea of political sentiment in Jackson
County, and provide an interesting news feature.
Of course this News had to promptly lambast all straw
ballots in general, and this one in particular. So while it con
tinues to publish on its front page the results of the LITERARY
DIGEST straw ballot, showing Roosevelt in the lead ; it disposes
of the MAIL TRIBUNE'S effort in this direction in the follow
ing picturesque language:
A straw vote taken from the limited number of the benighted .
readers of thri Tribune will not accurately forecast the political
opinions of tha groat world lying outside the Jungles of the
Tribune's domain.
It our memory does not fall us, about a year ago, the Tribune
took a atraw vote on the bond lasue, and this straw vote Indicated,
unless our mumory falls us, that a vast majority of the citizens of
Medford favored the Immediate conatruction of a aewage disposal
plant.
But the morning following tha election, there was consternation
among the Tribune's tribesmen.
They niid been grossly misled by the straw vote.
There will be a vote cast on November eighth.
it will not be confined to the Trlbune'a tribesmen.
It will :m caat by the people In that great world beyond
that la, thi;t world bsyond tha vision of the Tribune.
It wm na like the vote In the bond election, about four to
one egalmt the tribesmen.
Straw votes are Intended to fool the unwary.
They iifcrve no other purpose.
They have no other foundation.
e e e e e
WE congratulate the News upon that qualifying phrase,
"unless our memory fails us." Might we suggest it be
placed before all its charges against this newspaper, and against
that growing srmy of Jackson County citizens, it has placed on
its black list.
For that provides a way out, when the charges are shown
to be, as they invariably are, entirely without foundation!
merely a smoke isoraen of misrepresentation and mendaoity,
bohind which the Old Dutoh Cleanser twins, hope to "fool the
unwary" and gather la the unthinking votes.
For needless to say, our contemporary's memory in this
instance, as in so mauy others, fails and fails BADLY.
e n n
THE Mail'Trjbune took no straw vote on the sewage disposal
bond issue. It supported that measure because it believed
the local sewage problem is a serious one, and must be solved.
It still believes so. But it frankly admits that any bond issue
toward that epd under present financial conditions in Medford,
is out of the question. Eventually some satisfactory solution
must be found. When it IS found, the Mail Tribune will stand
just where it did before, for the protection of the health and
property of its citizens.
NOT only did the Mail Tribune NOT conduct a straw vote
on the sewage bond issue, it has not conducted a straw
vote on ANY question for over a deoade.
Nor does it hold any particular brief for straw ballots.
There are always opportunities for serious error, the results
AT BEST can be only indications.
But INDICATIONS, in such a tangled political situation, as
the present one we regard as interesting and important, and
we believe a majority of our readers share this opinion.
So with their cooperation, the Mail Tribune will make every
effort to make this straw vote as acourate an index of the true
situation as possible, and as interesting a news feature as
ciroumstanees allow.
THAT "acouraoy" and "interest" of course, will be somewhat
restricted by the fact that its contemporary has seen fit
to move the Mail Tribune's habitat from a gang's den, (via
the gravy train), to the heart of an African jungle where it
now rests supinely, entirely surrounded by savage tribesmen,
and its limited number of "benighted readers I" f
Bravo Mr. Wilkins
ALTHOUGH Mr. M. 0, Wilkins, the "News" candidate for
District Attorney, slapped a $100,000 libel suit against
the Mail Tribune a week or so ago, we trust we will not be
criticized for taking a leaf out of that Great Book which always
guides those two great masters of the scriptures, E. H. Fehl
and the Daily News, and herewith return GOOD for EVIL.
For we heartly congratulate and commond Mr. Wilkins for
coming out ao strongly and explicitly against the recall of
Judge H. D. Norton, and expressing tho greatest confidence in
his ability, sinocrity and fine sense of justice.
That is, and always has been PRECISELY how the Mail
Tribune feels about it. We are glad to welcome Mr. Wilkins
into that large and increasing army of Jackson and Josephine
County oitizons, who are not now, and NEVER HAVE BEEN
in favor of this reoall.
Not only is Mr. Wilkins right, but his stand shows genuine
independence of character, and the highest type of courage.
For in opposing Judge Norton's recall, the independent
candidate for District Attorney, opposes what his one support
ing newspaper, and his ohiof co-worker is the local uplift, Earl
Fchl, have steadily maintained, and still maintain, is the
"PARAMOUNT ISSUE" in the coming election.
The campaign slogan of the Dutch Cleanser twins, is "put
Fchl in and kick Judge Norton out." What Mr. Wilkins thinks
of putting Fehl in, we don't know, but what he thinks of kicking
Judge Norton out, we do know and so does everyone else. He
is against it, and always has been against it. So, we repeat,
with fine independence and rare courage lie defies the Dutch
Cleanser duo as follows:
"You may be twins, but as far as I am concerned you won't
be TRIPLETS 1"
To which we, and we believe an overwhelming majority
of the people of Southern Oregon answer:
"BRAVO AND AMEN I"

WHAT A LOT OF INCURABLES CUBE THEMSELVES
Old Doctor Nightly sported ft hand
soma VsnDyke necktie eliminator. His
picture wss published more frequent
ly than any other
doctor except Dr.
Munyon, at least
till I cam on,
and Nightly
pletures alwava
bore the sobri
quet "th spec
ialist" not the
well known or
famous specialist.
Just "th spec
ialist." What his
specialty was no
one knew, but the doctor mad he
circuit of the Jay towns at bi-monthly
Intervals. His coming waa duly
heralded In th Village Squawker,
complete with list of real and im
aginary ailments In which th spec
ialist considered himself good, and
the houra at which the multitude
might interview the doctor at hla
parlors In th hotel near th livery
stable.
It wss natural that Dr. Nightly'
pitch should overlook th livery
stable; for hi hobby waa horse rac
ing; Indeed, he owned ft string of
race horses and the racing circuit
kept him much on the road, so that
the specialist racket made nice
eldellne to till In the time between
track meets.
At the race track Dr. Nightly' spiel
was simple: I'm entering such and
such hosses In this or that rac. Beat
'em I Back In the hotel parlors It
waa more subtle: Pronounced by his
medical brethren an Incurable con
sumptive. ...
There ought to be ft movement to
persuade more ordinary dub doctors
to pronounce more patient incur
able. It seems to be Just the stimu
lus needed to make the Incurables
quit fooling, roll up their sleeves,
study the matter for themselves and
likely as not discover the cure in a
few short evenings. I suppose there
Is no disease on the incurable list
but that some victim has lost patl
enoe with the ordinary doctor and
sought out for himself the cure he
needed.
Insplte of everything. I have taken
an optlmlatlo view of th altuatlon
and fixed upon the year 1940 as the
time of the dawn of enlightenment
In the regulation of healing the
period when some sort of minimum
standard of educational fitness will
be set up by the federsl government
and all peraons seeking a license to
practice any sort of healing aa a
profession shall be required to com
ply with the standard.

To the Editor:
With the ooming election a month
away, the Jackaxm county voters are
beginning to think seriously about
the candidates whom they wish to
place In office.
Having been a candidate In the re
cent primary election, I take this op
portunity to express my own views.
The purpose of the primary elec
tion has always been the selection of
the people's candidates upon party
lines. Since I belong to the defeated
ranks for county Judge, I know what
It means to go through such a cam
paign. It costs the candidate time
and money. It necessitates his going
about the county to acquaint himself
with the people's desires, their ltkes
and dislikes. It would therefore
seem that the candidates elected In
the primaries should be the only
candidates In the field for election.
However, there is a law which gives
others the opportunity to enter the
race as Independents. 8u2h candi
dates as these are not like Oooltdge,
who did not choose to run, but are
Inflating their own ego by becoming
the self-appotnted candidates of 'he
few dissatisfied people who are will
ing to petition for their candidacy
outside of party support.
Jackson county haa two such can
didates entering the field for the
judgeship. Had either Mr. Pipes or
Mr. Gates, and both friends of mine,
decided to run In the primaries they
would only hare Increased the plu
rality of the present party condldates
by splitting the vote a trifle finer.
In my Judgment it seems the square
and fair thing Is to stand back of
those men who have successfully won
their candidacy through the people's
choice, and I believe the Jackson
county voters will stand by that
choice and vote for party candidates.
I. as a Democrat, will support W.
S. Phlpps, the man who defeated me
for county Judge In the primary elec
tion. J. PRANK WORTMAM.
Editorial Comment
Our Favorite ftouthern Orrgon.
The comparative complacency of
Portland and the northern region of
the state was not disagreeably dis
turbed when southern Oregon leaders
Informed our chamber of commerce
I un. i i iiivir ttiBJirijv wnicn rraiiy
contributes most to the present pro
gress of Oregon. Moreover, these mes
sengers of excellent tidings had the
! figures to prove It. And yet. aa
i Prank Jenkins remarked, there is
nothing of sectionalism In, this, for
the stats remains the unit that Is
not sharply defined In regions north
ern or southern.
What Portland learned waa that
In a single decade the growth of
southern Oregon was twice that of
the remainder of Oregon, that the
southern counties have mora or pur
chasing power than all the rest to
gether and that additionally they
maintain leadership in several Im
portant crops. Then, too. we ara t"ld
that the tourist gateway Is in the
south, and that southern Oregrn en
tertain! mora tourists than do we
provinces for this purpose, will, of
course, do all In their power to set
back the dawn of enlightenment, but
I believe their day is waning and
their graft la due to-disappear under
the present policy of retrenchment
and reduction In th high cost of
government.
Our country Is now sufficiently
united and the people are intelligent
enough to have a federal government.
We ought to be ashamed of our nar
row, provincial practice In the regula
tion of the practice of .healing. Graft
what Is euphoniously called legiti
mate graft Is the only remaining ex
cuse for the archaic and chaotic ayi
tem of licensing healers as carried
on by the various states or prov
inces today.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
How to Teach Baby to Use Cup.
Fourteen months old baby drinks
water, orange Juice and tomato Juice
from cup but refuses milk at first
tast. A month ago I tried to wean
him from bottle. He refused any nt
all for a week and finally would take
nothing from a cup . . , Mra. F.
W. D.
Answer Every baby should be
given water from a cup at the age
of eight months, and then when
weaning the baby It la not difficult
to withdraw the bottle entirely at the.
age of a year or 14 months. In this
case the baby knows his ma will
give In if he puts up a good fight.

I'd give any child the benefit of

Eye Test
Last spring I got a pair of glasaea

I try to wear them , my eyes ache
and if I do not 1 can't ee clearly.
My family doctor thlnka ttie dila
tion method la better. If you think
so I will go to an eye doctor next
time. (R. M. W.)
Answer I think, persons middle
age or older oan be fitted without
"drops," but younger persons should
have the drop used, If they want
an accurate test of the eyes, without
guesswork about the amount of un
consoloua strain.
and that many of these visitors be
come Investors arid permanent resi
dents.
A country of surpassing loveliness
is southern Oregon. It Is a great
comfort here In the north to remem
ber, aa the saving antidote for regional
jealousy that It Is our Oregon, as well
as theirs. Surely no tourist Is to be
blamed. If he la in the least suscep
tible, for losing his heart to a land
that Is the happiest of compromises
In weather and scenery, and In this
last so varied, and In each phase ao
compelling, as continually to astonish
and gratify. Wherefore, the tourist
tumbles head over heels Into the spell
of It, and we of the north, while not
lacking In either pastoral loveliness
or scenic grandeur, and welt content
with our sort of weather, can but ap
plaud him for It. To be entirely can
did, we also have felt the charming
persuasiveness of southern Oregon. It
la understandable.
But, as for Prank Jenkins gracious
contention that there la nothing really
sectional In this progress, since all ja
ior urn gun, wa snouia mil in sincerity
did we not mildly disagree. It seems
probable to us the residents of south
ern Oregon are not entirely Indebted
to regional advantages for this pro
gress. A land that makes ahead must
have more than soil, scenery and cli
mate. Perhaps there Is something in
the quality of cltlcenshtp, something
peculiarly sectional and of even
greater advantage than the natural
blessings. That would account for it.

Roosevelt, and that hi election will
give more confidence to the country
a ft whole than the eleotlon of
Roosevelt and therefor will cause
business to go ahead more rapidly.
But this writer doesn't want to
believe that the election of Roosevelt
will be disastrous to business recov
ery. As Mr. Roberts say In hi busi
ness letter, th differences between
the parties this year are not very
great.
It Is possible to prefer Hoover, b
catu of his undoubted courag and
th really commendable way In which
h baa met th problem of this
extremely critical year, and yet to
feel that If Roosevelt Is elected. In
response to th almost universal de
