The Democrate want It reduoed, ' as It li keeping out garlic, mangan ese steel, and llmburger cheese. If the tariff argument gete too hot, just say: "In 1013 the tariff was cut, via Democratic tinkering. The tariff well wa lowered. In came a lot of Mexi can cows, that sold for half what the valley cows cost, because the Mexi can cow hands received a dime per day; the home oowpunchen 91. and found, thereby every valley atockman was kicked In the pocketbook, toy a Mexican cow."

Lies: They will sound nuttier and sillier, than after the primary. a b e Future: Hellralert can always find something to fight about. Political Advertising K FEW days ago a candidate for local office handed in an ad vertisement to be run until election. After doing this he asked if the paper would give him editorial support. He was told this paper would NOT support him editorially, whereupon the candidate in question, promptly cancelled his ads, and took the copy away with him, to be used elsewhere. '117E call attention to this incident not because it is unusual, in every campaign there are candidates who use ad vertising in an effort to gain editorial support, but because it calls attention to this paper's editorial policy, which we fear, is not generally understood. The editorial support of this paper is not and never has been for sale. The editorial policies of this paper, are not, AND NEVER HAVE BEEN influenced by its advertising. Naturally this paper wants all the advertising it can get, for that is its life blood, but it refuses to stultify itself, or modify its principles, one whit, in an effort to secure advertis ing. N this election, we are going to do what we have done in every past election, support those candidates regardless of party in whom we believe, and whose election we regard, as best for this community, regardless of every other consideration. Wheth er they advertiso or don't advertise, will have nothing to do with our attitude toward them We are for the best men, not for the best advertisers, editorially we cleave to the line of principle, letting the chips of "paid ad" receipts fall where they may. hopo this doesn't sound TOO self-righteous. There ARE newspapers of course, that adopt the contrary policy, hold up their own candidates for advertising, withhold opposi tion against individuals or measures, where such an attitude PAYS. But relatively speaking .they are few in number. Practic ally all REPUTABLE newspapers, large and small,, keep their editorial and advertising departments absolutely separate. What they sacrifice in dollars and cents on short haul, they more than make up, in increased standing, prestige and influence, in their various communities, ON THE LONG PULL. ' XT 'A. ' I. .. t.A I iNu, it inn i scii-rigiiieousness, j deserve none. We simply regard ethics but good business a policy that may sacrifice profits one year, only to pay larger ones through ANT long period of time. For once let it become known that a newspaper's editorial policies are FOR SALE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, and that paper's influence editorially is destroyed. By adroit manipula- ! tion the people may be fooled they get wise. And when they DO, that paper as a molder of public opinion, and an influence in" its community, is through. SO we trust this elucidation of our policy, will remove a mis apprehension under which the candidate referred to suffer ed, and which may be shared by other candidates, as well as op ponents and proponents of certain measures. Our advertising cplumns are open to all, regardless of this paper's attitude toward them, or their attitude toward us. Its value is based upon the largest paid circulation of any news paper in Southern Oregon, and that alone. As a matter of fact, the candidate without editorial support, needs that advertising more than the candidate, who has it, for obviously the former has a handicap to overcome. i But human nature is human nature, and that is not the view ; adopted by the majority of candidates, altho IT IS THE VIEW adopted by those who really understand the advertising game. fJOWEVER that may be, we trust we have made the position of this newspaper PLAIN. In a short time now, wc will publish this paper's preferences as far as candidates, for office are concerned, and also its recommendations regarding all measures on the election ballot. Whether our readers agree or disagree with those prefer ences and recommendations, they can at least KNOW THIS: Those decisions have been orablo study and cr rctul thought, and they have not been iu-1 fluenccd, in any way, directly this paper has, or has NOT, received. "Presented Without Comment" SUBSCRIBER has sent us a soiled and crumpled clipping which he presents without comment. Here it is: "In most worklng-claa socletlee. and, Indeed. In most public eo clettea ot all claaftea, a number ot curious persons are found to ap pear born under a disagreeable star. They breathe hostility, distrust, and dlsaentlon. Their tones are always harsh. It Is no fault of theirs; they do not mean It; they cannot help It, Their organ of speech are cracked, and no melodloue sound can come out; their native note la a moral aqueak. They are never cordial and never satisfied. The restless convulsions of their ekln denote a 'difference of opinion.; their lips hang in the form of a "carp'; the muscles of their feces are drawn up In the ahape ot an amendment, and their wrinkled brows frown with an entirely new principle of action. They are a specie of social porcupine whose quills eternally stick out. Their vision Is Inverted; they see everything upside down. They place every subject In water to Inspect it, where the stralgntest rod ap pear hopelessly bent. They know that everv word haa two meanings, and they always take the one you do not intend. They know that no atatement can Include everything, and they always tlx upon you whatever you omit and Ignore whatever you assert. "These people Join a society ostensibly to cooperate with It, but they really do nothing but criticize It, without attempting patient ly to Improve that of which they complain. Instead of seeking strength to use It In mutual defense, they look for weakness to ex pose It to the common enemy. They make every associate sensible of perpetual dissatisfaction until membership with them becomes a penal Infliction and you feel that you are more sure of peace and respect among your opponents than among your friends. They pre dict to everybody that the thing must fall until they make It im possible that It can aucceed and then take credit for their treach erous foresight and ask your gratitude and respect for the very thing that hampered you." AVe agree with our contributor, that in view of local condi tions, at present, and which have prevailed for so long a time, the application is so clear that comment is hardly necessary. It may interest our readers to know, however, that this ex tract is from the "History of the Rochdale nioncer's bv fJ. J. Holyoake, published by Scribners Sons, in 1803, 30 years ago. And it was published during an economic depression, very simi lar in its severity, to the present one. Term for Accident. PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 39.

The Item tells of the annual visit of the supply ship from Cape Town to a lonely island In the South At lantic named Tristan de Cunha, with supplies, mail, and various: official inspectors. On the Island there are 163 Inhabitants. One of the official Inspectors was a dental inspector, the president of the Dental Society of the Cape Province. This expert examined the teeth of 168 of the Inhabitants In the two days the ship remained at the Island, and found no less than 121 persons ranging In ago irnm a few months to 92 years, with teeth entirely free from decay, teeth he was constrained to regard as perfect. Now according to the dental hy giene that Is accepted as' scientific and sound by the dentists of this country and by millions of the laity, two fundamentals are necessary If you hope to have good teeth. First, you must brush your teeth quite regularly, and second you must In clude a considerable proportion of hard tack or rough food In your diet, things that require some chawntg to exercise nnd harden your teeth and gums. Most old-time dentists ana most dentists seem to be old-timers about this hold that the massage of the gums Is the main feature in brushing the teeth, and they generally concede that If a person were to sub sist entirely on ra wvegetables, fruits, whole cereals, etc., the gnawing and grinding of these foods might keep the teeth clean and sound without any brushing. But they always imply that such a diet Is not feasible for civilized man. These inhabitants of Tristan da Cunha are the answer to all this ba loney the dentists have been pass ing out here In America. As Mr. Moore, the Inspector quoted, says: "In no case did the examiners find j an Islander who had ever cleaned his teeth." Somehow that reminds me of an tithetic statement which Is published by dentists In America from time to time, to the effect that perfect teeth' are never found in thl country, where Flight 'o Time (Medturd and Jackeon Uoont) lllstorj from ths (lies ot Tlw Mall Trihnne ot end 10 Vesr .n ' TEN YBAUS AGO TODAY October 36, 1022 (It wae Thursday) Three Intoxicated young men from the country gave Sheriff Terrlll, two city policemen , and four cltlwn quite a battle before Jailed.

Six months ago Z went to a quack dermatologist who gave me X-ray treatments and then a lotion. This burned the skin off my face. I suf fered great pain and disfigurement. The lotion was analyzed and found to be an acid. But when I sought to bring suit I learned the quack was not financially responsible . , , Miss C. A. Answer Some young persons can learn by precept. Others have to learn by experience. I have harped on this matter of RESPONSIBILITY of your doctor or specialist In any case, but evidently many readers are either very simple customers or think they know more than I do. A reputable or reliable physician, surgeon or spec lallst Is always responsible. A quack or charlatan always has things ar ranged for a quick get-away in case some atrocity precipitates a suit for damages. A reputable physician, matter how poor he may be, protects his patients by carrying insurance to cover the risk. A quack or charlatan, no matter how rich he may be. can't buy such Insurance, because the In surance companies are too shrewd to deal with such crooks. Oxalic Acid In Foods. Kindly send me a full list of foods containing oxalic acid, and the quan tity in each food. S. E. Answer I have no such list. These foods contain oxalic acid: Spinach. sorrel, rhubarb, strawberries, plums, gooseberries, tomatoes, green beans, dried figs, cabbage, black tea, choco late, cocoa, chicory, pepper. Foods containing more magnesium and lew calcium are generally beneficial where there Is any trouble from oxalic acid. auch foods are rice, wheat, buck wheat, corn meal, nuts, apples, coffee, peas, oatmeal, potatoes, lemons. A dentist recently Informed us that he suffers severely If he eats strawberrlfis. but he has no trouble If he takes lemon Juice or lemonade freely at the same time. (Copyright, John F. DUle Co.)

Communications Football An Allen Game To the Editor: Time was, ' my - friend Bill Blake once remarked, when football was a gentlemen's game; when the roll of Harvard and Yale teams read like the roll of Mayflower passengers. How times lvive changed! Now a football Jineup read3 like a quota from Estho- nla or other outlandish country. Where would Oregon be without Mik ulak or Pepper Whafs-Hla-Name? . If only Irish were allowed to play on the great "Iriah" team, where would Notre Dame be? A year or so ago you suggested that perhaps Oregon teams were win ning in the East because the East was becoming too sophisticated- for foot ball? Are we of the old American stock becoming too sophisticated for football, or are we, perhaps, inferior in stamina to recent immigrants from Europe? Sincerely yours, TOM BLOUNT. Medford, October 35. A Cut for Candidates. To the Editor: Only two weeks until election, and all the candidates have promised economy, but how man have advo cated a cut In their salaries? With commodity prices 35 per cent lower -than they were three years ago, our office holders are receiving about 35 per cent more wages than they ever did before am just that much more than the law or people ever Intended them to have. The voters and taxpayers should demand a cut of from 35 to 35 per cent in all county offlcera" wages. The average taxpayer la suffering a I 50 to 75 per cent loss In his usual ( earnings. Unpaid taxes and Interest are accumulating: mortgages are coming due: homes are being lost and wages are down to one and two dol lars a day and no work at tthat. Under these circumstances would any right thinking, right minded man continue to demand 16 to 13 a day as wages from these same taxpayera? Must we conclude that our office holders and candidates are out for all the filthy lucre they can get. regardless of the taxpayer's condi tion? There may be a law against a can didate promising a reduction in his salary, if elected, but there is no law the prevent him from stating that It Is his belief that all salaries should be substantially reduced. If he re fuses to live up to his belief after election that ia another matter. The average office-holder ' hasn't even started to economize yet. on comparison with the average tax payer, who has to skimp and save, doing without the necessary things of life to keep his home intact and body and soul together. And from the actions of the county officers we must conclude that they don't give a rap what the taxpayer has to go thronrV. with, so long as they can retain their Jobs and rake in their six to twelve dollars a dav salarr. i. C. M. (Name on file.) Not Vlred for Politic An editorial in last Thursday's News charging that various officials of a local packing house discharged a group of employees because they ex pressed dlaspproval of President Hoo ver Is so fragrantly untrue and so exactly the reverse of the truth, that I wish you would make this correc- I ton In your columns. I am sending j a copy of this letter to the News with the request they publish It also. ' I I was one of the men In the group ' discharged. I wa the only Hoover man: all the others were for Rooee- ' velt. The foremen who discharged : us Is also a Roosevelt man. and It I a fact that practically all the active officials of the company are also Roosevelt men. We were discharged because the foreman said w had violated 1 three. year rule against workers discussing politics or religion. We had discussed both subjects at the noon hour or on our own time and It la true the dis cussion was overwhelmingly apposed to Hoover. Obviously, however, the group was not discharged because of that op position and as I am a strong Hoo ver supporter would not have been discharged If what the article in question states was true; for the foreman and the officials are as strongly opposed as these men to the Republican party and Its candi date. I was greauy disappointed and my position rendered precarious by my discharge, but in fairness to both the foreman and the company, I wish to emphatically deny partisan politics had anything to do with the action whatever. The company has a rule, we were told, against workers discussing religion and poll tics In the plant, and this rule was violated, unintentionally: as we were unaware of the rule. That was the reason for the action, not which party or candidate the members of the group supported. As I say, I was the only Hoover man in the crowd and I certainly resent the President of the United States or any of his party being blamed for something that they had nothing to do with, I hope that to some extent this will destroy the unfair impression that the article In question created.
