"What a Tangled Web!"
TTHE explanation of WHY M. 0. Wilkins, the News candidate
for District Attorney, on Thursday at, before 200 voter
in Ashland, went on record against that paper's "paramount
issue," the recall ot Judge Norton, is interesting.
That M. 0. Wilkins DID repudiate the recall, neither Ht, nor
they, deny. But the News-Fehl uplifters, now claim, he lacked
the courage to tell the voters of Ashland the truth.
Mr. Wilkins they declare is NOT opposed to the recall. He
is opposed to Judge Norton. And if tha recall of Judge Norton
appears on the ballot, he (Mr. Wilkins) will vote for it.
TN other words, when Mr. Wilkins told the people of Ashland
in explicit terms, he not only opposed Judge Norton's recall,
now, BUT HAD ALWAYS OPPOSED ITj that he had now and
always had had, the greatest confidence in Judge Norton's
integrity, ability and high sense of justice, he was, they declare,
NOT TELLING THE TRUTH.
He was scared. He told the people of Ashland he- felt one
way, when ha felt exactly the reverse, because "he could not
afford to be ostracized by the entire legal profession."
This the News cries is "INTIMIDATION I" It claims there
is a legal and judicial trust in Jackson county, which makes
the recall of Judge Norton MORE IMPERATIVE THAN EVER
BEFORE.
And also, we assume, the election of Earl Fehl as county
judge, and the election of M. 0.
ALSO more imperative.
"PARING such a stand, indicates to us at least the Ncws-Fchl
duo must have come to regard their cause as desperate.
For while there is essentially nothing more absurd, in asking
the people to select as their District Attorney a man, who con
fesses HE LACKS THE COURAGE TO TELL THE TRUTH;
than to select as their cdunty judge a man who BELIEVES
JUDGES SHOULD MAKE SECRET DEALS AS FAVORS TO
PERSONAL FRIENDS; in the former case, the OLD Dutch
cleansers are foreed to repudiate THEMELVES, which even
in this crazy campaign is rather a "desperate" thing to do.
For in the same issue in which Mr. Wilkins' repudiation OF
his repudiation is "explained," the official organ of the News
Fehl (and now Wilkins) uplift takes the following forthright
and unequivocal standi
Tha. News has declared In the past that It would rather
give Its support to a man they know was wrong, than to lend
their support to a man who lacked th courage to stand for
th things h knew to be right.
This prlnctpl Is as old aa all history,
In th political campaign now being waged In Jackson
county, th New will not support any candidate who straddles
1 th issue when a principle ot right or wrong 1 Involved.
But certainly the principle of right and wrong is involved
in this "paramount issue" in Jackson county, the recall of
Judge Norton, On Thursday of last week Mr. Wilkins told the
people .of Ashland, he was OPPOSED to the recall-, less than 48
hours later, he told the people of Jackson county, through the
Daily News, thirt he FAVORED it. If that isn't a "straddlo"
then what is the moaning of the tormt
a
CAN it be thRt the News is now going to repudiate its candi
date for District Attorney, who "laoked the oourage to
stand for the things he knew to be right," after explaining so
carefully that this stand was solely the result of intimidation,
by the Judicial Legal trust, to which this candidate "docs not
belong," and against which he is waging BUch a gallant fightl
That it seems to us would be even more embarrassing than
this explanation must be, for it would involve, deserting a loyal
servant In the holy eause who in spite of the damage to his
reputation when the ornoial test came stood by the loadors of
that cause, and joinod with them behind the paramount issue,
of kicking Judge H. D. Norton out, and putting "Judge" Earl
H. Fehl in.
IT will be interesting to see what the outcome will be. The
Mail Tribune HOPES the News will stick to its guns, and
withdraw its support, from its candidate who, according to its
own statement, "laoked the courage to stand for the things
he knew to be right."
For such aotion would go far to clear the local political
atmosphere. It would be hard on Mr. Wilkins we admit. But
after all the oauae of truth telling, the courage to stand for
things that are right, is more important than he or any other
individual in this campaign.
And ON THAT BASIS, placing truth above falsehood, right
above wrong, the Mall Tribune would gladly join the News,
and work with them (we trust) in reasonable peace and har
mony for the rest of the campaign.
Study the Measures
FOR the promotion of better government it would be an excel-
lent thing during these cool Fall nights, if the family would
gather around the fire, and read the Voters ramphlet concern
ing amendments and measures.
There are 13 of them this year' i unlucky number. And
unless the people start to study 1' "i now, and secure some
idea of their exaot nature, the rt'....its In November may be
unluckler still.
This suggestion particularly refers to those good people who
still believe in the initiative and referendum. These forms of
direct political action, like all other forms, are on trial today
as never before.
Their only hope for survival rests upon the people them
selves, their willingness to assume the responsibilities such
forms impose.
""PHE first responsibility is study the duty of the average
voter to take the time and trouble to become informed. If
this is not done by the people as a whole, then nothing ean save
what has become known as the Oregon system.
Many don't want to save it. Many believe the old conven
tion system of representative government, was far superior to
the present system. Others feel differently about it, and judg
ing by the votes in the past where the issue has been repudiation
or radical modification of the initiative, referendum and recnll,
a majority of the people agree with them.
"THEN it is up to this majority in this election and every other,
to show that the assumption that the people are qualified
to legislate directly, and will exercise that privilege, wisely, was
noi misplaced.
The only way that can be doue
Wilkins, aa District Attorney,
I
is for the people to study the I
various measures, and thus be prepared to vote upon them in
telligently, when the time comes.
A month before election day, is not too early to begin.

DISPLACEMENT AND OVERWEIGHT.
At tht time of the world war when
many young men wers drafted IJom
sedentary Jobs In offices and stores
to the strenuous
phyitcal training
la cantonments it
was found that
many of these
rather flabby,
oft -bod ltd young
men gained 10 or
10 pounds of
weight in a few
months and at
the same time
actually reduced,
that la, became more siender.
A body may, then, Increase in
weight while reducing In slae. It may
be heavier, yet take up leu room. It
may show Increased relative density
or specific gravity along with de-
creaMd displacement, or vice versa,
Measurement of body weight or
longtltude Is therefore not a fair in
dex or guide for gaining or reducing.
Especially In the case of tha voung
person who is not more than 10 per
cent overweight or underweight for
one of his or her age and height. It
Is necessary to take into consideration
the individual's specific gravity or
relative density.
Obviously It would be futile, if not
fatal for a person who has grown
slender from regular exercise to be
gin monkeying with reduction diet
because the scales show an increase
of weight.
Ordinarily a reasonable amount of
dally exercise la essential In any re
duction regimen.' Whether any par
ticular restriction of diet la adhered
to or not, regular dally exercise
makes the body more slender, re
duces girth or displacement, even If It
has no effect on body weight or actu
ally Increases the weight. It may
encourage many stout readers to know
this.
The reduction craze that swept
over the country several years ago
has subsided like the flu. At present
sometimes days pass with scarcely any
requests for reduction advice. The
most piteous demands now are for
girth control. Here are some sugges
tions restraining equatorial expan
sion:
1. Night and morning practice of
Belly Breathing. Send stamped en
velope bearing your address and ask
how.
2. Lie on your back and raise legs
to vertical and lower again to floor.
Repeat this from five to 30 times, as
you become accustomed.
3. Oat out ot the slouch habit.
Always stand or sit toeing In and chin
In and touching the Imaginary cell
ing with crown of head.
4. Do work, play games or take
exercise that require you to bend
down to pick things off the ground.
8. If you are more than ten per
cent overweight, follow the corrective

before.
THE great soldiers' home project In
Roseburg Is slowly taking shape
as a reality, and the buildings may
b seen looming up off to the lett of
th Paclflo highway as you go out
of th city to th north.
Ther la much complaint that the
payroll Involved In th building ot
this horn hasn't been reflected In
buying down town, On explanation
1 that tha worker on these buildings
haven't been spending their money
as thy go along, but Inataad ar
saving It up to meet the need of the
coming winter.
If that I tru, It I further evidence
that people ar looking forward to
th coming winter and making pro
vision for their own needs.
THK construction payroll In th
soldiers' home amount to about
1000 a day. In spite of alt th com
plaining, It ha undoubtedly helped,
for Roseburg m a solidly prosperous
little olty; probably la better shape
than th averag.
Th real benefits of the soldiers'

tion arrive. It will then become a
big Item In th city development.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS,
llvperldrosti.
Perspire terribly under the arms
la there any way to prevent this or
to remove the hair? D. P.
Answer Shaving with safety razor
Is best way to remove the hair If it
must be removed. Young women
should beware the use of any agent
for removing the down that naturally
covers every woman's akin. If you
once begin using either a raeor or
chemical depilatory you will wish
you let the trifling down hair alone.
Removing the hair from the armpits
will have no effect on the sweating.
A good remedy for preventing exces
sive swestlng there Is aluminum chlo
ride In three ounces of water. Mop
some of this solution on the armpit
with swab or brush once a day for
three or four days In succession.
Allow It to dry in the air before you
dress. Repeat later as needed to con
trol the trouble.
Whooping Cough.
Two sons have whooping cough.
What can be done to relieve them?
Mrs. A. M.
Answer Bend stamped envelope
bearing your address, for monograph
on whooping cough. Keep children
In open air, day and night. Belly
bands for support. Bacterln (bacterial
vaccine) treatment by family physic
ian. X-ray treatments of mtdrirr
often give great relief to the cough
ing spasms.
Close Call, What!
Tn a talk on sprains you suggest
painting the sprained ankle with
lodln. If, as you so emphatically as
sert, the unbroken skin absorbs noth
ing, what benefit can be obtained
from this? Perhaps I should assume
that the fumes evaporated by the
warmth of the ankles sre Inhaled by
the patient, but, sir, please tell me
how the fumes know enough to go
to the sprained ankle and not to the
funny bone or adanolds. S. M. A.
Answer It acts as a counterlrri-
tant.

THE PROSPECTOR
By A. B. Wllllsms
You may sing paeans of praise to
the hero conqueror.
Or bold and Tall ant knljht. or
aotea ensnceuor;
You may place your laurel wreath
upon the scholar brow.
Or to immortal scientist In adula
tion bow:
You may juatly pay a homssje to
philosopher or legs.
Or tribute to adventurers of past
or present age;
Unto the gifted its, tea man a pane
gyric pay;
At any pedestal of fame a mute
memorial lay.
But here's to one of mankind whose
praise Is rarely sung.
Who from the bowels of the earth
has untold fortunes wrung
A modest homily to him whose
name's the least extolled
The man who's been the pioneer In
the delving search for gold.
"Hill Billy he's been dubbed or
"wandering desert rat"
Juit a homeless roamer with no
place to hang his hat
Just a human gopher gouging out
a hole
A man who has about forgot he ever
had a soul.
No scholarly degree on him has been
conferred;
Knows he naught of "periods" of
sges past that's blurred:
Yet wise is he In knowledge of dirt
and rocks and ores
A wisdom only gained through con
tact with outdoors
That's become as near uncanny as a
varmint's Instinct keen
A sense that tells of something
that's hidden and unseen.
Unerringly he Judges by Nature's
laws and rules
Outcropping, dikes and contacts
which his learning rarely fools,
Known to but few the story of bis
unceasing quest
From Alaska to Mexico, all o'er the
golden west:
Vis sole and lonely object to trac
the hidden ore,
To find the mineral wealth that Na
ture has In store.
Scratching here and there In the vir
gin soil of earth
To tap the hidden fount to add to
golden worth.
"There's gold In them thar hills"
to him no Idle dream.
But, alas I how few of him have ever
skimmed the cream I
Pate, ah, fickle fate, how deceiving
are your ways I
How little you reward tha man who
the foundation lays I
Many an El Dorado which poured Its
golden stream
But little yielded of Its store to '!'
his Midas dream.
The fortune he'd "discovered" to
him but little brought
His persevering toll going practically
for naught.
Whate'er of recompense that ever
came his way
Melted like new-fallen snow and
was frittered soon away.
Soon on the trail again, the old
quest was renewed,
Revlllngs aa to fate upon no one to
intrude:
Only after many years or never may
have been
That rewarding search has come to
those old prospector men.
Over rocks and crags, through
gorges and ravines,
To toilsome summit tops, through
wild and rugged scenes,
In summer's scorching sun or win
ter's drifted snow.
In tempest, frost or flood, forever on
the go.
Never a complaint as others reaped
hla toll.
Facing a future whose reward re
mained yet In the soil.
Oft his fare was meagre, and many
a gaunted day
Has been his experience as he work
ed in stole way.
No home except at times a rat-Infested
shack,
And sleeping place a bunk or ground
beneath his back.
Oft Ill-clad he buffeted elements of
all degrees,
Digging or panning doggedly, at
times on hands and knees.
A legion of this passing man has
reached the golden shore
Of that great eternity, with a at le fry
of ore.
A few still remaining treading un-
trammeled trails
With constant optimism and faith
that never falls;
Here and there still hiking, with
pack and pick and pan,
Unmindful and remote far from the
haunts of man,
With trained eyes ever seeking where
"Indications" lure
And with the telltale cropping!
their attention to conjure.
When life's career Is over he lays
him down to rest
Upon the bosom of the earth on
fickle Nature's breast.
Upon some lonesome hillside his
bones may be concealed.
Or Journey to a final tomb tn a lone
ly potter's field.
Forgotten in a little while are both
his face and name,
Except wherein someone had some
what fleeting fame.
Portunea from his lead expand,
cities rise to glory.
But he la sleeping on unsung he's
faded from the story.
Have you ever stopped to think but
for this grizzled vet
A vast horde of yellow treasure
would In the ground be yet?
That, without hla grousing over hill
and deeert bare,
Many fortunes of today would be
castles in the air? .
Without whose patient questing and
au-aooundlng hope
Barth still would hide her secret be
yond our futile grope?
So, here's to the prospector, who's
stood Time's rigid test
And brought both fame and fortune
to our glorious, golden West.
