Law and order also had a tough
time. It waa constantly sloshing
down In the middle like a aack full

L. and O. always occurred when a
member of the pure and sanctified
lawless element accidentally caught
himself, and was pickled In the new

clanged once, there were "two out

bas been very ornery.

The community and oounty, how

fact that during all this period, there
has been no lying and no liars. How

For Newcomers Only!
IF you are NOT a newcomer to this little valley of ours don't
waste your time reading this. Tou already know this polit
ical campaign is ending Just as all other local political cam
paigns have ended these many years, with a perfect barrage
of mud and slander, libels and falsehoods, for one purpose and
one purpose alone to put that hardy political perennial, One
Earl Fehl into public office, and satisfy his thwarted ego,
Tou don't need to be told these charges are false. Tou
do not need to be told they are fundamentally the SAME
CHARGES he has made against this newspaper and his rival
candidates, since Hector was a pup. Tou know all that. Tou
no more expect a campaign in this long-suffering bailiwick
to close without this man Fehl, making 11th hour charges, shov
ing libellous hand bills under the front door, with the hope that
SOMEHOW, SOMEWAT it will at last give him a place in the
political limelight, than you expect a spring without flowers,
or a winter without frost.
To you it's an old story and a tiresome one. Tou pay no
more attention to it than you would to t"he wailing of the wind,
or the howling of a moon-struck hound.
- It's an old story to us, too. And if we weren't in the news
paper business and didn't feel a certain responsibility to those
newcomers among our 19,000 registered voters, we would pay
no. attention to it, either. We would be sensible like Will Rogers
suggests close up shop and go fishing.
DUT there ARE those newcomers those new voters. And
they don't realize these last minute charges, innuendoes
and insinuations, are as false as dicers' oaths, if there is no
denial, they may conclude MORE 'S THE PITT 1 that there
must be something to them.
So the last day before election, the Mail Tribune is forced,
as it has been forced in practically every local eleotion, for
twenty years, to refute these 11th hour charges, to expose the
unscrupulous and shameless mendacity of those responsible for
them.
As usual the MVtil Tribune is accused of being a member
of the plunderbund that has bad its hand in the publio treasury
all these years, when Fehl ran for Mayor it' was the CITT
treasury; now that he is running for county judge it is the
COUNTT treasury. Then all the city officials were crooks and
grafters ; now all the oounty officials are and have been crooks
and grafters. Then the source of graft lay in the CITT print
ing.' Now of course it lies in COUNTT printing. Then it was
the Reoord Herald, that led the crusade of purity and light,
now with the Record Herald, because of a judgment for libel,
transferred to the News, the evangel of rectitude and righteous
ness is the latter paper.
But it's the same old Fehl wheeze on the same old "down
with the gang" record. And for the same old purpose, getting
Earl a job at the expense of the taxpayers. As was the case
nearly 20 years ago, so now, the main beneficiary of this reign
of vice, skullduggery and corruption, happens to be the sole
competitor of these journals of the uplift, "ol Man Debbil," the
Medford Mail Tribune.
1J0W to knock these charges into oblivion, as we have knock-
' ed them so many times before, only to have them bob
up like the proverbial nine-lived cat at the next eleotion.
During all this time the Mail Tribune has, oampaign after
campaign, challenged Mr. Fehl and his various mud-slinging
spokesmen to make just one DEFINITE CHARGE of wrong
doing, against this newspaper or any of his competing candi
dates, just ONE and bring that charge before any regular
or any special grand jury, under the regular District Attorney,
or under any special district attorney appointed by the Gover
nor, but ONLT ONCE during all these years has the Fehl
crowd accepted that challenge , Then it was only accepted be
cause circumstances made it impossible to escape.
That was only a few months ago May, 1932. Unfortunately
grand jury proceedings are secret and can't be made publio, but
this can be said, and neither Mr. Fehl nor any of his apologists
dare deny it. , .
A FTER a thorough investigation, that grand jury wag unable
to find 'the slightest evidence to support any of these
criminal charges, no charges against this newspaper were even
presented the grand jury repudiated Fehl and his newspaper,
and every mudslinger in the primary campaign, just aa, if it
were called NOW it would repudiate every one concerned in.
the filthy character assassination and personal abuse that has
gone on in THIS CAMPAIGN.
117HAT did the Fehl forces dot Accept that ' verdict, as
law abiding and right thinking citizens should. NOT AT
ALL! They turned their vials of hatred, calumny and abuse
upon the members of that grand jury, branded them either as
crooks, false to their oath, or spineless tools of a dishonest
and corrupt District Attorney, and then, as soon as the eleotion
campaign started, and mud slinging again served their pur
poses, REPEATED THOSE SAME CONTEMPTIBLE AND
BASELESS CHARGES, in a renewed effort to becloud the
issues and get votes.
CO there you are, Mr. Newcomer. And there are the eharges.
It must be as plain to you, as it is to everyone who has
listened to the samo charges these many years, that if these
charges WERE true, if they had any basis WHATEVER in
fact, in all this time, they would have been presented before
MORE than one grand jury, and SOME GRAND JURT would
have returned indictments and those guilty of these crimes
as charged would have been found guilty and would have been
punished. It must also be plain, that those charges have NOT
been presented In the rroper way, have NOT been tested for
their truth or falsity by those presenting them, for one reason
and ONE REASON ALONE i
BECAUSE THOSE MAKING THEM KNOW THET ARE
FALSE, KNOW THET ARE MERELT MOLASSES TO CATCH
FLIES, KNOW THAT IF CALLED FOR A SHOWDOWN,
THET WOULD BE REPUDIATED AND THROWN OUT OF
COURT, AS THET WERE IN THE ONE INSTANCE CITED,
AND THEIR EFFORTS TO GAIN TUBLIC OFFICE IN THIS
CONTEMPTIBLE, UNDERHANDED FASHION, WOULD BE
ENDED FOR ALL TIME.
CO much for thse charges. Now one wovd more. If you like
this sort of tiling, if you want it continued, if you believe
it is good for this community and the people in it, for your
business and theirs, don't let us keep you from voting for these
three musketeers or "Must get theirs," as they seem to prefer
Messrs. Febl, Wilkins and ZundeL t
They are united under one paramount issue alone, the recall
of Judge H. D. Norton. A vote for them or any one of them,
means an endorsement of this mud slinging, a public demand
for this recall which will have to be held at a special election,
at added expense to the taxpayers, and will keep this com
munity disrupted and embroiled for an indefniite period in
the future.
DUT IF TOU DON'T LIKE IT, if you are sick of it, sick
of the whole political snake dance if you want to end it
as far as possible for all time, then don't vote for them, and
CONCENTRATE UPON THE CANDIDATES BEST QUALI
FIED TO DEFEAT THEM. .
If you don't wish to give over the management of Jackson
County to Earl Fehl for six years, don't wish to have him, pre
side over the juvenile court and act as moral guide for your
boys and girls; if you don't wish him to decide the fate of your
estate, as probate judge when you depart:
If you Don't wish M. 0. Wilkins to handle the legal affairs
of this' county, under "Judge" Fehl; or Zundel to be responsible
for the collection of taxes tnd the enforcement of law, under
the same authority, then vote this triumvirate down, bury it so
deep it can never be resurrected again, by voting AGAINST
THEM. -
TTHAT'S ALL. The campaign is over. We can do no more.
Candidates can do no more. The radio thank the Lord can
do no more. The decision is up to you and you and you and
you ALONE.
Tomorrow as you enter the voting booth, TOU are supreme,
TOU hold the destiny of this community and the country in
your hands. Vote for what you wanf, vote for what you believe
in, and don't forget: .
Tou will get in this election as in every other,
JUST WHAT TOU VOTE FORI
Keep Mose Alford on the Job
A FRIEND of Mose Alford, City Recorder, asks why we
have not endorsed him, and reminds us -that his defeat,
under present conditions, might mean a public and personal
tragedy. ...
We frankly admit we didn't suppose a publio endorsement
was necessary. Mr. Alford has held this position so long,
through bo many administrations given such capable and con
scientious service, is so familiar with all the intricacies of that
office, that we took his election for granted.
Perhaps we were too sanguine. If so we regret it very much.
But all we can do at this late date is to give him this paper's
hearty endorsement, and for the reasons above stated, urge our
readers to giv,e him the support he so thoroughly deserves.
We have never urged support of a publio official on the
plea of sympathy, that he needs the job. That is true in the
case of Mr. Alford, but it is not our reason for supporting him.
We urge his re-election because the job, and the city of Medford
need him. ,
. Vote for the Fish Bill
v i
TTHE Rogue River Fish Bill should get a vote in Jackson
. county, unanimously IN ITS FAVOR . ,
Its passage has been endorsed by the highest and most impartial-
fish authority in the country, Henry O'Malley, U. S.
Commissioner of the bureau of fisheries. .
Even the Gold Beach chamber of commerce, which bitterly
opposed the measure in the past, favors the bill because it has
found game fishing is more profitable to that community than
commercial fishing. ' ' .
The bill's passage will bring thousands of tourists to South
ern Oregon and keep scores of country homes on the river,
which might be closed, if the bill fails.
( The amount of labor eliminated by the bill's passage would
not equal by a thousand percent the amount of labor eliminated
by its FAILURE in the way of new river building, guides,
etc, etc., etc. all cash customers for Southern Oregon.
So vote 306 TES, and get everyone you know to do likewise.

Dairy Meeting Called.
To the Editor:
The Rogue River Valley Dairy as
sociation voices Its sppesl to all dairy
men, farmers or any who ever Intend
to seU a pound of butter urging them
to attend the Dairy association regu
lar monthly meeting to be held at the
court house, Medford, Ore., on Wed
nesday evening, November 9 at 8 p. m.
Now Bro. Dairyman, Fanner and
Qranger and all who have helped to
sponsor or Indorsed the oleomargar
ine referendum measure
Stop and take a look at our photo
graph In almost every leading dally
newspaper that Is printed In the state
of Oregon, sponsored by the eo-called
Oregon Anti-Food Tax league, and
Mrs. Alexander Thompson as Its presi
dent, accusing us and picturing us
as one of the leading gangsters of
the country.
Now Bro. Dairymen, Fanner and
Oranger If you have the backbone of
a Jelly flan or a spark of honesty left
In your system, you will be at the
Dairy association meeting to voice
your protest against one of the most
vicious pieces of propaganda ever
sponsored against an honest, hard
working class of dtleena and against
one of the leading Industries In the
stste of Oregon.
We also request every publishing
company that carries this advertise
ment of propaganda to hare a re
porter at this meeting, for they will
get an ear full. These reporters will
be asked to explain why ( their com
panies are helping to sponsor a cam
paign of misleading propaganda to
sell out one of the most honorable
leading Industries In the state of Ore
gon or the world over.
Just because a rich tropical oil
corporation has far more money than
the poor honest hard-working dairy
farmer.
We can not see how any one can
stoop so low aa to feed the cttlsens of
the state of Oregon on a vicious piece
of propaganda In the form that Mrs.
Thompson's organlratlon haa spon
sored. All dairy farmer! that an buying
this oleo as a butter substitute are
especially Invited.
Remember the above date and be at

Nullification Isnt Repeal.
To the Editor:
Some of the more or less radical
wets are contending that the repeal
of the state prohibition law by our
ballots will not make It necessary for
fthts state to have an election follow
ing a proposal of congress for the
state to ratify or repeal the 18th
amendment. They state for their ex
ample that California and Nevada
voters, by leaving prohibition In ef
fect but paralyzing enforcement by
the withdrawal of enforcement by
state, county and local officers, will
be conaldered a wet state thereby
making It unnecessary for them to
act on the proposal of congress as It
has already been established that
these two states are for repeal. They
also declare that It Oregon at this
'election repeale the state prohibition
law by a good majority vote, this
will strongly Influence our congress
men to vote on the wet side and
(hasten the arrival of the day for re
Ipeal of this 18th amendment.
j H It not true that "referenduma
I without constitutional sanction can
inot furnish a decisive answer" and
I that congress Is given power to de
I (ermine the mode of ratification?
Surely an election held tomorrow will
! not determine Oregon as a wet or
jdry atate when congress asks, ssy a
j year or two later, for the mandate
I of this state aa to retention oi re
, peal of the 16th amendment. la It
not absurd and ridiculous for voters,
j unless stubborn, not to change their
j opinion on an Issue after being en
; lightened? This leads them to chsnge
. their votes at the next election If
given the opportunity. The writer
I would appreciate your enlightening
them, through the columns of your
paper, before election day.

JUST ONE OB TWO DRINKS
Every little while we hear of some
culprit pleading that he or she til
not Intoxicated hut merely had taken
o n e or t w o
Drinks. Jut
where our com
ical Amer lean
J urlspr udence
draws the line
between sobriety
and Intoxication
la a mystery. Sci
entifically, It has
been proved that
"Just one or two
little drinks" of
alcoholic bever
age or liquor will slow anybody's re
action time down two or three -fifths
of a second, and If the Intent of the
law Is to give Justice to all, the
drinker should be held strictly re
sponsible for the accidents which
may occur due to this failure on his
or her part to take reasonable pre
caution for safety.
The effect of the alcohol In one or
two little drinks Is quite definite.
The pulse rate or heart beat In
creases several beata to the minute,
but this Is not "stimulation," as was
formerly supposed. The arterial pres
sure Is Invariably lowered and the
fast pulse Is a weaker pulse. The
Individual has a sensation of greater
warmth or of flushing of the skin.
But this Is not stimulation either;
It Is merely the effect of relaxation
or dilation of the arterioles of the
surface, which permits the warm
blood from the votal organs and the
Internal circulation to rush to the
surface and to remain there too long.
The Internal body temperature Is In
variably lowered. It. is for this' season
that Arctic explorers and others who
must endure extreme cold avoid al
cohol In any form. If a drink or two
"warms you up" It does so at the
expense of your vital body heat
which la dissipated by the surface
stagnation. , . v
Boozers who boast they can take
It or let It alone commonly Argue
that a good drink gives a person a
sense of well being and greater
rtrength. But put the person In a
race or in any sort of contest or test
of strength or endurance and this
sense of well being and refreshment
proves to be merely the dulling effect
of the narcotic on the higher cereb
ral perception of fatigue. Everybody
knows that a drunken person Is weak
and Incompetent In every respect
though he generally feels and believes
he Is stronger and more capable. The
same thing applies, though more
subtly, to the state of the man or
tlonal provisions by repealing en
abling or enforcing statutes does NOT
alter the force and validity of those
constitutional amendments, in any
way, shape or manner.
Keep Ralph Jennings.
To the Editor: " ,
I wish to make a last-minute plea
for Mr. Ralph Jennings.
Mr. Jennings is a man; that even
those that are against putting him
back can't point out a single flaw In
the administering of his publio duties.
They admit that he has been a good
sheriff, and that he has performed
the duties of his office perfectly. If
this true, then why not put him beck.
Why not keep a good man on the
Job?
People advance the flimsy argu
ment, that Mr. Jennings haa had the
Job long enough. That Is all the more
reason why we should keep him there.
Any one. knows that the longer a man
does a certain Job the better he gets.
A successful business concern doesn't
fire a good man Just to give some one
else a Job.
Another argument which shows
more Jealousy than anything else. Is
In regard to Mr. Jennings employ
ing members of his fsmlly. To my
mind (and I'm euro to every fair
minded person) that la perfectly all
right. Any one would do the same
thing. I would do It. You would
do it.
Now last, but not leist. the ex
tremely false charges brought against
Mr. Jennings In regard to his trying
to get back Into office when he was
defeated in the primaries. Mr. Jen
nings hss never opened his mouth to
any one, ao far as I can learn, about
writing his name In on the ballot.
That movement was etsrted entirely
by the people, the voters of Jsckson
county.
Put him back. You wont regret It.
Thla Is no time for a change.

Oleo Tax Condemned.
To the Editor:
About the oleo tax bill.
I don't see how this bill can do
anyone any good and It will certainly
do msny people hsrra.
Surely the dslrymen are Intelli
gent enough to see thst It wont do
them any good. The people who are
now buying oleomargsrlns are those
who slmp'iy cannot afford to buy
butter, and If this bill pssses and
puta oleo out of their reach they will
not be able to buy anything In that
line. Consequently the dairymen will
not be able to sell one pound more
butter than they did before.
I am sure everyone would rather
have butter and all would buy It If
they could, but when they cannot.
It Is some consolation to hare a sub
stitute. How do the dslrymen think that
passing this bill could make these

woman who bas taken Just one little
drink.
The courage, confidence, geniality
and loquacity that come to the timid,
cold or retiring person who resorts
to a little drink or two when there
is any occasion to be met, are like
wise due to benumbing of the higher
4raln centers so that the intoxicated
one la for the time being not so well
aware of hi own limitations. He or
she becomes less concerned about
making a' show of themselves. The
normal self-control gives way, Judg
ment Is not so keen, and a lighter
restraint Is kept on lower Instincts
or impulses. '
It la necessary to take Into con
sideration this deceptive effect of al
cohol . whenever one quarrels over the
wet and dry Issue. If the Individual
who favors "light wine ar.d beer" has
had a drink or two within an hour
or two. It la Just as well to change
to the prospect of getting over the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
The Fallen Stomach. v
I've been wearing a surcingle girdle
supposedly to hold up a fallen stom
ach, I'm going to Junk It and would
like a set of exercises to strengthen
the abdominal muscles .Mrs. I. C. 1
Answer Try to accumulate more
fat. Practice belly breathing. Do
some somersaults dally. Lie supine
and raise legs to vertical and lower
slowly, three times -at first, Increase
one time daily till you can do exer
cise 20 times night and morning
without fatigue. Also lie supine and
feet under a weight, ano palms cn
floor, and sit up and lower yourself
again to supine three times at first,
increasing one time dally till you
can do this exercise 20 times night
and morning without fatigue.
Child Plays With Dog.
Our 14-months-old baby likes to
play with the dog. Is It harmful?
Mr. W. J.
Answer Dogs sometimes harbor a
tapeworm (Tenia echlnococcus), the
eggs of which may be present in the
dog's saliva. If the dog licks the
child's face or hands the child may
Ingest the tapeworm eggs and later
nave echinocoocus cyst. Dogs .or cats
are commonly Infested with ordinary
Lumbrlcotdes (round worms) and the
eggs of these are readily transferred
to man by contamination of hands,
face or food or water with the saliva
of the dog. The only safe plan s to
see to It that the hands are carefuuly
washed with soap and water after
letting or handling dog or cat, be
fore the hpnd strays to mouth or
hps.

people buy butter when they havent
enough money to buy It?
I am not against the dairymen and
farmers, they have plenty of troubles,
but surely anyoneJcan see that this
bill won't help them any.
One correspondent In your commu
nications column states that If every
one who now buys oleo would buy
butter Instead, It would go a long
way towards solving unemployment.
I wonder If he thinks people buy
oleo because .they like It. Perhaps
he has plenty; Is able to buy all the
butter he wants, and can't realize
the predicament some people are In.
I don't believe the dairymen pay
all the tax on butter. The consumer
pays most of It. And I don't believe
putting a tax on oleo would lower
the dairy taxes any. It would Just
mean that the consumers would have
to pay the oleo tax (as that is the
way ttaxea like that are paid by the
consumer, not the producer). And
since the oleo consumers would not
be able to pay It, they would have
to go without oleo as well as butter,
and Oregon would not get any more
taxes after all, nor would the dairy
men be able to sell any more butter.
I hope everyone sees fit to vote no
on this bill. MRS. M. S. H.

Th report has been circulated that I am opposed to trie
county health unit, and if elected county judge I would
, favor abolishing this function. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. It is one of our most important institu
tions, and I shall favor, not only its retention, but its
constant improvement consistent, of course, with the
finances of the county.
My friends will perhaps permit a suggestion: Don't allow
your desire to defeat certain candidates influence you
voting. You are not presumed to guess the "high man"
or the one who will be next to him. Vote for the candidate
you consider best qualified for the position. By doing so
you are most likely to both defeat the objectionable one
and elect the one you want.
Pay no attention to straw ballots. A Mail Tribune straw
vote contest can easily elect Al Capone keeper of the
Pearly Gates, provided Art Perry is set to work clipping
the blank ballots from the leftover papers and Bob Ruhl
does the counting.

Jenkins' Comment
(Continued from Page One )
Putting It another way, Idaho and
Oregon abll more butter to California
than any other states, but Idaho
sells THREE TIMES as much as Ore
gon. WHY is this? Why can't Oregon
sell as much butter to Cali
fornia as Idaho sells? We have told
ourselves for years that Oregon Is a
great dairy state, and Oregon Is near
er the California market than Idaho.
So why does Idaho put it all over
us when It comes to selling her but
ter to California?
npHESE are questions that are lm-
portant to our welfare, and the
answer to them is absurdly simple:
The California market demands
high quality butter 92 score or bet
ter, on the average. Idaho produces
the high quality butter that Cali
fornia demands. Oregon DOESN'T.
That is the whole story.
QOUTHEBN OREGON Is potentially
the greatest dairy section of this
state, because down here we can pro
duce cheap dairy feeds; notably al
falfa. Southern Oregon Is also NEAR-
EST to the California market.
If Southern Oregon will learn the
lesson of QUALITY, and will pro
duce the kind of butter the Califor
nia market demands, she can find In
California a profitable market for all
the butter she can produce.
