Broken windows glased by Trow bridge Cftblnet Works, A Correction Is Made ON what we regarded, m reliable information, it wag stated in this column yesterday, that Earl H. Fehl, candidate for county judge, no longer regarded the recall of Judge H. D. Norton, as his "paramount issue." From many sides came the report, from individuals who attended his meetings, that they were not asked to support this recall, and no recall petitions were circulated, as had been the case at the start of the cam paign. ' Mr. Fehl however informs ns, this statement is NOT TRUE. The recall of Judge Norton is still his paramount issue. He asked us to make a correction which we are glad to do, and to make himself clear, signed the following explicit statement: "Earl Fehl regards tlis recall of Judge H. D. Norton, as an Important issue and la still In favor of It." This means Earl Fehl's campaign slogan ig the same as it has been. "A Vote for Fehl is a vote for Judge Norton's recall", a vote to put Fehl in as county judge, is a vote to kick Judge Norton' out as circuit judge. Thnt is sufficiently plain to remove all doubt in the minds of the people of Jackson county, as to just where the Republican candidate for county judge and his supporters stand. NATURALLY those who oppose the recall of Judge Norton, who regard him as one of the fairest, wisest and most capable judges ever to ocoupy the circuit bench, and this at tempt of disgruntled litigants and irresponsible trouble makers, to secure his removal and disgrace, as a blow at the VERT HEART of orderly and law abiding government in this part of the state, will join together to bring about the defeat of those who have presented it, and STILL present it as their claim to support. These people will naturally throw their support to the strongest candidate opposing Fehl, the one best calculated to overcome the solid backing which he enjoys, and that candidate is beyond pi question C. E. (POP) GATES I C0R not only is that troth, established by the Mail Tribune's straw vote, with Pop- beating Phipps four to one, but by the High School vote where he defeated the same candidate also, four to one. Moreover in the Ashland Tidings straw ballot, all doubt of Gates' inherent and preponderant strength is re moved. ' For' even there, without newspaper support, and with out an organization, and where prejudice was supposed to be strong, Pop Gates came within two votes of tieingHhe Tidings' OWN candidate, and again outdistanced Phipps by over two to one! TPHE issue is plain. For those who oppose this recall and wish to repudiate the forces of dissension and internal disruption responsible for it, the PATH IS CLEAR. A vote for Pop Gates not only means a vote for the most capable candidate in the field, the man best fitted by experience and temperament for the job; it means the best and ONLY CERTAIN way of burying this Norton recall, so deep, that it will never be heard of in Jackson county 'again. Clear As Mud JIR. FEHL also objects to this paper's contention that he had switched from his position of independence of, AND FROM, the Republican party and had come out for party regu larity and voting the tioket straight. Our reason for this belief was the fact that in one of his first campaign speeches the Republican candidate for county judge explicitly declared he would not vote, for President Hoover, the leader of the party that had selected him as its candidate. And then a few weeks later, before the Young Republican club, he urged the members of this olub to stand by their party and it candidates, all down the line, the fair assumption being that what he asked the Republican party to do for him, HE WOULD DO for that party, i.e. : he would vote for and support President Hoover. But Mr. Fehl denies our right to make this assumption. He repeat he will NOT vote for President Hoover, and then over his own signature explains his attitude toward party loyalty and regularity as follows: "Earl Fehl wUl not vot for Hoover but Is In favor of all Republicans supporting their party candidate from national down through th local ticket." Now we frankly admit that is too deep for us. Our per plexity is not lessened by the faot that the statement as orig inally presented to Mr. Fehl, referred only to ''Young Republi cans." He said he didn't like that but wished us to change it to "ALL Republicans," which was done. In olher words, Mr. Fehl is not going to support the Repub lican party in the presidential election, but he wants all Repub licans to support HIM I Now if this isn't standing by the party where MR. FEHL is concerned and deserting it where THE LEADER OF THE PARTY is concerned, then we confess we know nothing about the rules of logio or the meaning of words I T AT GENEVA IE!

One when tha oonduotor of thla' column waa about to addraaa an au dlenoa on a child bMlth program stoma lad lea on tba committee oonfeeaed that they had eertoua ly considered the idea of present ing ma with an enormous tooth brush at the mo ment of my In troduction to the audience. For ome reason they Hid net carry out the ltlfia much to my regret. My teachings anent dental hygiene or how to aave your teeth may not Inspire great enthusiasm among the dentlsU, that la, not officially. But the dentists' wives, children, Bisters, brothers-in-law and cousins are dif ferent. Some of these unofficial mem bers of dentists' families are not at all scornful. In fact, aome of them are quite pleasant spoken. Dear Dr. Brady: ' My husband Is a dentist. Our two children, aged four and half past five, have perfect teeth. Flawless, well placed, perfectly aligned, perfectly clean. Neither child has ever owned a. tooth brush. Both children were thumb suckers until we finally succeed ed In curing them at the age of two.' The teeth of both parents are regrettably poor. The teeth of all their cousins, uncles and aunts are poor, or at beat ordin ary. The answer, we believe. Is diet. Our children are carefully fed. Simple food; lota of raw vege tables, lots of raw milk, quite a few natural aweeta figs, dates, etc. No between-meals lunches. Candy only after meat-and-vege-table meals. . If a yellow stain oc curs on the teeth we feed more orange or tomato Juice, and the etarn disappears. More than this,, my husband has a "class" of young children whose tMth bid fair never to need his attention except for ex- amlnatlon. Their story Is the same as that of our own chil dren. If we become paupers In our old age. It will be the fault of pnrents who are feeding their children Intelligently. Ain't so? Again, sincerely yours, I have made Just one change In the letter I Inserted the word raw be fore; the word milk.

So we'll assume It 1 until we learn otherwise, for experi ence has shown, particularly in Eng land, that children who get RAW milk have better teeth than children who get only aterlltzed, pasteurized or processed milk. The only raw milk that Is always pure and safe for Infants, children or adults is Certified milk. The price of this finest, purest grade of milk la prohibitive for many families. But ordinary raw milk In many commun ities, particularly the smaller towns where the milk Is delivered to the consumer within an hour or two after milking, Is a perfectly wholesome and safe food. Your family physician Is the best authority to consult about the purity of the milk. If you have nd auch friend, then ask your local health officer whether the milk Is safe for your children.

The mental torture that apparent ly you are going thru because of the actions of Johnson and Norrla seems strange. You have been pointing out again and again the fact that there Is no difference worth mentioning between the two major parties, so why all the tears? Moreover, It Is unscientific to blame these men for what they did. With the same her edity makeup and under the same circumstances, you would have done the same. All the sham-battling to the contrary notwithstanding, there is as little difference between Hoover and Roosevelt as there Is between Hoover's tinkering with it to make the parties they represent. It makes little difference which becomes our kaiser. Both streas superflc laities. Both ignore the amazing contradic tions of capitalism. The value of Hoover'a tinkering with It to make it work "normally" la questioned by Norrls and Johnson. Norrla at least thinks that Roosevelt Is better at the tinkering business and not so hard shelled, hns thrown him his support. The mechanisms of defense against the recognition of the realities of capitalism seern less powerful In the case of F. D. than H. H., so Norrls seems to think. Our traditional In heritance has H. H. more firmly hog tled than F. D. perhaps. This In heritance Is a fine thing In Its time and place when America waa a land of "rocks and rills and twnpled hills," but much of It now Is out of place with the land covered with "Do You Inhale?" elfins, hot-dog stands and filling stations. Then It was Individual production and Indi vidual consumption; now It Is mass production BUT NOT MASS CON- SUMPTION. Capitalism Is like a forest fire. It goes out w.hen lt can not spread. It now covers the world. Its doom Is therefore sealed. In the light of this fact how trivial Is much of the president's speech delivered yesterday. This slice of reality must speedily be recognized, else it will take a toll In lives and property far greater than that of the "war to end I war." R. HEGNER. ooid ntu, Oct. as. issa.

(AP) From a prodigal husband who failed In a plot to disappear as the victim of burglars and wed a Seattle, Wash, girl under another name, Elliott B. Thomas, school superintendent, be came a Jail prisoner today by a volun tary confession that he conceived the hoax to hide a theft of about $8000. Appearing at the office of District Attorney Buron Pitta with his wife, Olive, who had spoken forgiveness for his scheme to marry Sylvia Wil son, the 36-year-old head of schools at Redondo Beach said he had forged county warrants totalling between $8000 and $10,000 since January. 1930. He assigned the motive first to speculation and later to financing his romance with Miss Wilson, which began last January after he had met her on a vacation trip and ended shortly after they had taken out a marriage license at Kelso, Wash, last week. His attorney, Oeorge Penney, said he would plead guilty If an In dictment were returned. "I just don't know why I did It," Thomas told Pitts. "I began to specu late in 1930. At first small amounts; then larger ones. I can't remember Just how many warrants I forged: probably between $8000 and $10,000." As he unfolded his story, he drew from his pockets $2600 In cash and $500 In checks, which he surrender ed to repay a portion of the thefts. He had carried the cash and checks with him since he contrived to dis appear eight days ago by leaving meeting with hts school board at his home and going to hla offloe on the pretense that hr desired to ob tain a report. When he failed to re turn, members of the board went to his offices and found them In wild disorder at though Thomas had sur prised burglars who attacked him and carried him off.

FEDERAL CONTROL WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. ff) The power commission announced today It Intended to regulate the Issues of se curities by the Portland, Oregon, Gen eral Electric company. This action was requested by Char les M. Thomas, Oregon commissioner of public utilities. He also asked the commission to regulate the securities of the Pacific Northwest Public Serv ice company and the Portland Trao tlon company. The commission, how ever, held It had no control over these two companies since they art not licensees of the commission. By unanimous resolution, the com mission declared its intention "to ex ercise the Jurisdiction conferred by the federal water power act to regu late and control the amount and character of security Issues of the Portland General Electric com pany and its customers, if any until such time as the people of Ore gon shall have vested the power of such regulation and control In Its public utility commission or other au thortty." The resolution directed that the Portland General Electric company not Issue securities until they have been approved by the commission. The company also was directed to file with the commission a complete statement of Its authorized outa standlng or contemplated securities. condition of constipation.
