Of all the concoctions that ama deavor to make, elderberry wine Is tettr distillers and home brewers en most corrupt and has the least excuse for existence.

A couple of Douglas county genta, who were observing National Fire Starting week yesterday, are In a fair way to add to the congestion In the Salem "big house." a TllilNKSOlVINO Thanksgiving comes the last Thura day In November, but a great many people doubt If they will be able to keep from giving thanks that long after the election Is over. Others will be so glad It la over, they will not be able to atop giving thanks until well along towards the last of January. There are 36 days, count ing Sundays-, until the voting. There will be no time out for the Sabbath, aa Sunday Is no different from Tups ' day, when a campaign Is raging. So far the preachers have been able to keep the politicians out of the churches, but this may change when the situation geta desperate along towards the tall-end of the month. Besides, the main Idea ts to save the farmers, Instead of the Individual soul, though much they may need It. After the election, there may not be anything to give thanks for, as many of the rural ladles do not like the looka of Mm. Hoover the face has nothing to do with governmental management. The fool Republicans should have nominated a candidate whose wife was the ex-lonMlegged blonde In the front row of the last road show that came through here, and saved the rural lady vote. On the other hand the vlce-preaident on the Republican tlrket has a good looking sister, who never shows up In wooded spots In the act of pinning a medal on a girl scout. The wrltsr will be very thankful if President Hoover does not show up In the movies trying to ride a horse, until after election. We think leas of the chief executive's equestrianism, than the rural ladles think of Mrs. Hoov er's facial beauty. There I consider able to be thankful lor now: since I the county ruled that Deans would be distributed only In exchange for work the reports of famine have shown a decrease, and It I r.o longer fashion able for auto tramps to run out of gas In front of the courthouse. A lot of husky looking turkeys are grar.lng In the middle of all the out lying roads. Broken windows visaed by Trow bridge Carjiuet Work. V ArMai a ai Send in Your Ballot! THE Mail Tribune will publish the, first result of its straw ballot in this Fridiiy'g issue. There has been no attempt to get pcoplo friendly to any candidate to sign these ballots. Nor will any such attempt be made. We want this straw vote just as fair, and just as accurate an indication of what political sentiment really is in Jackson county, as it can be made. But, as things are going now, we can only conclude that a far greater proportion of readers in sympathy with the policies of this paper are sending in their ballots than those opposed. This conclusion was strengthened by a statement made today to the present writer by an ardent supporter of Governor Roose velt when he said, "I don't suppose you want a ballot from ME." Great Pete, that's just what we DO want! We want just as many ballots as we can get, regardless of what candidates the ballot favors. We don't want a drive in favor of any party or any candidate. We DO WANT a free and uninfluenced expression of opinion, from as many voters as possible, and from as many different sections of Southern Oregon as possible. For this straw ballot was started not to influence voters, but to find out, as far as possible, just how the voters stand. Unless it approximates a TRUE cross section of opinio)!, it will be of no news interest at all, and of no value. The Mail Tribune started this straw btrllot for these pur poses. Whether it will be a success or not depends cnliroly upon our readers. We have done our part. Now we are going to ask them to do theirs. The Tide Has Turned ON one point all political experts are agreed. ' Since the swing around the circle of Governor Roosevelt, the swing toward President Hoover has been nothing short of sensational. In .the past throe weeks, voters who the last of September were sitting on the fence, undecided which way to jump have been falling into tho Hoover camp, like ripe fruit after a big wind. Various explanations have been advanced for this sudden change, the tariff, cash ' bonus, prohibition, Garner-pork-barrolism and what not. But to our mind there has been only ono chief reason, and that a very simple one, namely, SELF INTEREST. N fact we doubt very much if the American people as a whole, the rank and file, have been greatly influenced by the political speeches on either aide, the brickbats that have been thrown, or the promises made. We don't deny President Hoover's Des Moines speech made thousands qf votes, nor that the exceptionally vigorous and convincing speeches of Ogden Mills, did the same. But we believe that effective as these speeches were, the votoB they made wore few compared to the votes that have been made by the people THEMSELVES, not tho result of suggestion from without, but tho result of cool analysis and somo hard thinking from WITHIN. In other words, these speeches have not so much changed votes, as stimulated independent thinking which, because of the peculiar conditions of the country at this time, have resulted in that change. A ND the fundamental cause of that change has been the fact that the more the people have thought things out for themselves, the more they have come to the conclusion, that SOLELY FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THEIR OWN SELF INTEREST, they should vote to keep President Hoover on the job, instead of yielding to a blind and unthinking resentment, and change pilots of the ship of state at this vory critical time. s e a s IT has been no highflown aspiration, the result of no anaiysis of intricate problems like finance or the tariff, it has been simply tho growing conviction on the part of the individual, that not swapping horses in tho middle of the stream, is going to be better for HIM. Better for the wage earner who wants to keep his job or get one; better for the business man who isn't satisfied with business conditions, but believes, if the present government is overthrown, conditions will be worse; better for all classes of people, in a material sense, and therefore better for the country as a whole. "PHIS fooling, essentially a simple and elemental one, and not the socalled issues, has in our opinion been the cause of this transformation during the past few weeks. Whether this switch has, or CAN go far enough to elect President Hoover, only the ballot box on November 8th can show. It is as foolish to deny that President Hoover started with a tremendous handicap, aa to deny that since October 1st, the political tide has all been in his direction. Just how great that handicap was, how strong that tide is, WHICH WILL OVERCOME THE OTHER, we leave to those political prophets wiser than we, who can tell how an election is going before the ballots are counted. NEAR, SAYS REED WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. (AP) Senator Reed (R.. Pa.) has told news papermen that he has no doubt "that the Volstead Act will be modified to permit four per cent beer and light wine at the approaching aeeslon" of congress. On his return to Washington yes terday from Rurope, he said that the reason would be "public demand" rather than a desire for a further source of revenue. He added, though, that he think "new taxes are inevitable" and pro mised that he "will propose the man ufacturera' sales tax," defeated last session. UiYe Of Davis Dies In Berlin BERLIN. Oct. 12.

DIATHERMY VERSUS THE OLD SPANISH CUSTOM We're going to bold a plebiscite (and I'd Ilka to wager all our read era on the pronunciation of It) upon tha question of the method of choice for the treatment of In fected tonsils. So far aa the conductor la con cerned the ques tion has been settled by the great number 'of enthusiastic let ters received from readers who have had the diathermy treatment. But I gather that a good man) unen lightened laymen are still accepting the old Spanish method that Is, the guillotine and snare and taking their chances on several complica tions which happen In a certain num ber of cases when the older method of tonsillectomy ts employed, no mat ter how skillful the operator. Among the letters received ( from patients who have had the diathermy method there have been a few ex pressing dissatisfaction. One from an editor out west who, being a wiseacre, went to some manufacturer of physicians' equipment, who refer red the wiseacre to a good customer who had just bought some diathermy apparatus. The editor didn't like the bungling of the amateur. Well, what weight has such a yodel against the delight and gratitude expressed by most patient who have received the diathermy treatments from physicians skilled In the technic? As I have said before, I ahould have no other method for my own tonsils, and I should advise no other method for anyone who can procure the services of a RESPONSIBLE physt clan of good repute or standing who has had the necessary clinical In struction In tho special technic of diathermy. t In the past few years I have re ferred many correspondents to such physicians In all part of the coun try. Certainly not all of them re ceived the diathermy treatment, but that most of them did. and were pleased with the results they expert enoed, I know from the letters they wrote me later. , Now I want to hear both the pro and the con of this tonsil question. I don't care for expressions of ama teur opinions or for second hand stories or hearsay. What I should like la a letter from every reader who has had any method of treatment for Infected or even for enlarged ton sils, and what he or she thinks about the method of treatment. This Invi tation Is Intended for those who have undergone the regular or old-fashioned surgical tonsillectomy as well as Jenkins Comment (Continued from Page One ) SPEAKING or new population, Frank Branch Riley, Oregon's moat noted orator, who spends a part of each year telling selected audlencea lr. the East of Oregon's beauties, said the other day to this writer: "All over the East, people are look ing hopefully to Oregon, which they regard as the great land of promise. California Is wonderful, but the golden radiance of the halo that so long has surrounded California Is be ginning to tarnish Just a trifle. It Isn't quite the miracle land It once waa. People In growing numbers are looking to Oregon, and when condi tions become normal again we shall see them coming here aa never be fore." That Is good news. We like to have people come here to see us, because we are proud of ourselves and LIKE TO BE BEEN. Then we have high hopes of Inducing many of them to remain, and if we can do that we shall profit. Empire Official Refused New Trial SALEM. Ore., Oct. 13. (AP) Judge Arlie O. Walker refused to grant a new trial for Frank Keller.

If only a handful of read ers ahould trouble to vote. In this plebiscite, It won't mean anything. But If we can prevail upon a lew thousand to give us their views It will have telling significance. Although, as I said. I have had a few reports from diathermy patients who were dissatisfied, I have never heard of any aerious or fatal com plications from this method of treat ment. I wish we could say as much for the old Spanish method, but un fortunately we can't, and the disas trous complications of the standard guillotine and snare method of hack ing out tonsils I use the term back ing advisedly and I have the evldtnce to warrant the term which seem quite unavoidable and happen tn the best regulated hospitals or surgeries, will, I believe, ultimately turn the scales against the bloody method and constrain all true physicians to adopt the diathermy method In all cases where it is applicable. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Irish Moss. Thank you for your information concerning Irish Moss. I Inclose a recipe.

J. Answer Condensed milk ts Inade quate nourishment for a baby, though perhaps tho poor tike will gain some anemic or flabby weight on the ax cess of sugar and the excess of water this retains In the body. You do not mention the baby's age. Send a stamped envelope bearing your ad dress, and ask fqr Instructions for the care and feeding of the baby. Be sure your baby receives a dally ra tion of fresh fruit juice or tomato juice or, later, ripe banana. -(Copyright, John P. Dllle Co.) PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12. (AP) Touching briefly on economlo condi tions. Hugh Bancroft, owner of the Wall Street Journal, told the mem bers of the committee of 100 at luncheon today, that "In all prob ability the patient has parsed the crisis of his ailment, and In that sense recovery may be said to have begun." The committee of 100, also called the "millionaires club." mae up of wealthy men who visit In and about Miami. Fla.. in winter, were the guests of Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Phila delphia capitalist. "The most serious threst to early economlo recovery la government," said Bancroft. "The cost of govern ment as we have It today In the best of times Is a severe burden on the economlo structure. Today It Is un- aupportable and constitutes the grav est obstacle to economic' recovery. Government as we have It Is an Intol erable luxury." HOOVER VICTORY PORTLAND. Ore.. Oct. 12. (AP) Trs astrologer doesn't advise you to use his prognostications for gambling or speculative purposes, but he says It's going, to be a "great victory" for Hoover in November. The sun, the moon and the plan ets are on President Hoover's side, says Dr. H. M. Abbott, who calls him self a "blo-chemlcal dietitian." He says he has studied astrology for 47 years. Despite the fortunate aspect of the solar system, the "victory" will not be an entirely gratuitous one. the doctor says, adding "Just a few more speeches to the people will do the electing."

To the Editor: To some of us who are not candl. datea for publlo office, and are not affiliated with any of the "Jesse Jamas and Cole Younger Gangs," and haven't even a ticket or pass on the "gravy train." and not public splr. lted enough to place our namea on the celebrated recall petition,' some phases of the campaign are becom ing pathetic and some are Indeed humorous. Pathetic, In that the Dally News la without a candidate for district attorney. According to their issue of October 11, last, they picked up a one Mr. M. O. Wllklns, penniless, with no clientele and practically no friends, and endeavored to establish him worthy of the confidence of the cltlaenry of this county. If tola la true, pathetlo again that such a champion of right should select such a character as this for an Important office. Any prospective candidate. It would seem to us, should at least be worthy of confidence. If he had no other qualifications. But as we look about the political arena, we are about to arrive at a natural conclusion that thia Is a sample of the kind of material the News usually selects to fill the most Important offices within the gifts of the county. Then In their issue of October 13, In an article headed. "The Hobble Race," they have challenged their "Grandmother" In a wager, "Gran ny" to have first choice of the other two candidates for district attorney and the race Is on with the "gravy train" as the goal. The moral up. lifter reserve the right to doctor up their steed In every way possible, but we will venture a guess, that If they doctor with the same medicine as applied to at least one other of their candidate for high offloe In Jackson county, It would ,hurry their a teed to take third place and might not run any faster than the older steed which not long ago headed from Medford toward the United State senate.
