That might be taken a a symbol of the history-making conference in the Red Room of the White House yesterday. The cigar is a REAL smoke, the cigaret ISN'T. The foreign war debts are a REAL problem to President Hoover; they won't be a real problem to Governor Roosevelt until AFTER March 4th. It would be interesting to know what really happened during those two hours, as the eigar smoke blended with the cigaret smoke, and formed a canopy above this epoch-making tcte-a-tete. to COME day the story will be told. But it can't be told now. "That's not my baby" Roosevelt is quoted as telling Demo cratic senators and congressmen as he related the proposition President Hoover had put up to him. "I shall take no part in the debt matter until after March 4th." But President-elect Roosevelt DID take a part, although the details of that part, are not for publication. Undoubtedly his views of tho debt problem were freely expressed, and those views were what President Hoover wanted. And President Hoover's attitude toward the debts, will undoubtedly be' based upon his knowledge of what his succes sor's policy will be after he has retired. So as the short official abatement declared "It Is felt that progress he term made. Th president confers with member of congress tomorrow when the aubjeot will be further pursued." Final decision of course, rests not with the chief executive but with congress. But the president must take the responsi bility. That is why the president of the United States, has the toughest job of any ruler in the civilized world. Will the Debts Be Paid? TT7HILE the details of that confreenee are veiled in secrecy, it is not very hard to guess, the general character of the conversation. No one at that 'conference ton or eleven billions' owed the , . . - , , u. una uuuiiir rcLunen iu BAicna ine morniurium, out sooner or later the European countries will REPUDIATE THIS DEBT OR THE UNITED STATES "WILL CANCEL IT. The alternative thus Involved was undoubtedly the main subject of that conversation. Would it be better policy to cancel a debt that WON'T BE PAID ANYWAY, and thus gain the good will of Europe, and perhapa the benefits of revived international trade; or would it be better to refuse, force Europe into repudiation, and capi talize that repudiation toward the same end ; or Would some compromise between these two extremes be advisable, a further reduction of the debt, with a reciprocal trade arrangement, as the method of liquidation. H PHOSE three alternatives no doubt occupied a major portion " of the Red Room conference period. . And while the outcome can't be definitely known, it's a pretty safe guess that both sides agreed that cancellation of the debt is impossible, not from the standpoint of financial results or business expediency, perhaps, but from the STAND POINT OF PRACTICAL POLITICS. The people of this country will no more allow their govern ment to CANCEL this debt, than the, people of Europe will allow their governments to PAY it. AND RIGHT THERE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IS THE CRUX OF THIS WAR DEBT PROBLEM AND FOR 'THAT MATTER THE CRUX ! ERNMENTAL PROBLEMS, ON MUD, AT THE PRESENT TIME. 'T'HE world war may or may not have been fought to make the world safe for democracy j but there is no question that the present economic war is being fought to MAKE DEMOC RACY SAFE FOR THE WORLD. Can it be donet Aye there's the rub. For democracy whether on this aide of the Atlantic or the other, whether under kings or presidents or dictators, is based upon this portentious assumption! "Thst man 1 wise enough to know his own interest; and good enough to make It that of hie fellow man." ' That was the real, fundamental problem of that Red Room conference. That was ACTUALLY what concerned those pres ent, whether they smoked the cigar of immediate responsibility or the cigaret of responsibility deferred. The decision rests in the laps of the Gods, the final outcome only the future and probably a future not long deferred, can decide.

Fresh castor oil la also one of th best oils for the scalp and hair. Fresh castor oil la an excellent soothing applica tion for chafing, applied on folds of linen or mus lin. In certain casea of acute diarrhea a full dose of castor oil la the beat remedy, for It quickly sweeps out the Irritating substances and Its after-effect la binding. There are two common conditions In which castor oil la too often given In spite of the fact that it dose only harm. First, costlveness In Infancy or childhood; every dose of castor oil In such a condition produces greater costlveness the next day. Second, acute inflammation In the abdomen, whether It be appendicitis or any other Inflammatory condition; here a !ose of castor oil, or any other ca thartic, places ttv? victim In greater peril of peritonitis, the excitation of peristalsis or movement of the in testine tends to spread the Inflam mation which, with absolute rest, might remain confined to the region of the appendix. It la a good rule never to give castor oil If the pa tient has acute bellyache. Use ex ternal heat, particularly moist heat, and call the doctor. Castor oil, I regret to say, has won for Itself a considerable repute as a remedy for Intractable facial neural gia, and also aa a remedy In certain cases of periodic sick headache (mi graine). For several .years I tried to convince myself that the benefit ascribed to thla remedy by victims of these distressing complaints were actually manlsfestatlona of our old friend John O. Coincidence. John has taken a good deal of joy out of my life. But In snJte of my pains taking silence about the aubjeot. tes timonials trickle In without apparent provocation, and now I am compelled to acknowledge that there may be something in the treatment that we. or at least I don't understand. If any one telto me it "ellmlnatea" tox ins or poisonous wastes or anything like that I'll do murder on the spot. There are various plans or methoda for taking castor oil as. a remedy for facial neuralgia or for migraine (it la not for the relief of seizures or attacks, but rather a corrective of the fundamental trouble). Some suf ferers take from 5 to 10 drops of cas tor oil (In capsule or otherwise) three times a day for period of several Sales Tax With Shelter Exemption Is Explained. In Series of Short Articles, J. C Barnes Explains Details of His Proposal to Lighten Tax Burden on Workers V. Shelter Tax Exemption and the State. Family units owning and occupy ing one family dwelling, both In the country ana in tho city, are the cells out of which a democracy la formed and upon which a democracy must depend for It continuation. When home-owning families no longer dom inate our social and political life we will cease to be ft democracy and be come some sort of ft "communist ex periment. It should be he first concern of the state to bring home owner hip within the reach of very cltl-en of the state: It then thould be the first obligation upon every oltlsen to own a home. Not only s'. ould this con cern the Individual states but as well it should be the concern of the fed eral government. The federal government already has undertaken some constructive effort In this direction by the organisation or dtstrlct federal home loan banks. These were organised chiefly for the purpose of making more liquid the assets of the present organlred loan associations and loan companies that have In the paat been engaged in loaning money for home developmet. Now, If the state of Oregon exempts shelter from taxation It will make possible a wholly new deal. To carry out this new deal It would be neces sary to have a federal home loan bank In each state to loan money on tax exempt homes, and these loans to be made direct to the Individual. In order to make these securities the very safest for Investment the state of Oregon should underwrite all loans made In the state for this purpose. This would be the state's contribu tion toward the creation of these cells that It must depend upon for sta bility and continuation of Its exist ence. The federal government would nit have to change Its present plan of financing federal home loan banks to any great extent. It would simply have to organ tr STATE federal home loan banks In each state as rapidly as the various states compiled with the requirements of shelter tax ex emption from all state, county and school taxes and agreed to under- I write thfse loans. Tr-w banks would put in operation tne clause already In the act, providing for loans direct to the individuals. So the federal government would subscribe Its en dorsement and support to this plan, to the end that home development could be carried out at ft low rate of Interest. It would mean that in this state and every state, cittrens would become interested In home lm-pft9lt-oa-a4aUi faoA 4Y4 Brady. M. O. ' week, regulating the dosage to avoid looseness, but taking as much aa possible short of that. Othera take from half to one teaspoonful each morning ahortly after rising, to pro duce a brisk laxative effect, for the first week or two, and after that a smaller dose each morning, aa much aa possible short of loosening. After eight or 10 weeks they take it only on alternate mornings for a few more weeks, and finally a small dose once or twice a week. That the benefits from thla treat ment of neuralgia and migraine are not due to the laxative action of castor oil seems certain, for these sufferers rarely obtain any relief by the use of laxatives. Possibly the benefit la due to ricin, an Irritant principle contained In the seeds from which castor oil la expressed. Three castor oil seeds have been known to cause fatal gastro-enterltls in a man, according to Shoemaker. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. KIM the Fungus. I followed your gasoline treatment for athlete's foot. After immersing my toes in a little pan of gasoline for half a mlnutn five nights In suc cession the trouble was completely cured. I had tried many prescrip tions In vain. Miss M. H.) Answer It kills the fungus which produces epidermophytosis or ring worm or trench foot. Use enly ordi nary gasoline, not ethyl. Antiseptic Absurdity. Is (an antiseptic nostrum) a sure preventative of halitosis in all cases? Can an odorous breath be a natural condition? R. M. D. Answer I doubt that even a good antiseptic is a preventative of foul breath or a remedy for It In any case. Foul breath may be due to certain foods or medicines, or to various pathological conditions, such as In fected tonsils, sinusitis, pyorrhea, den tat carles, or certain stomach dis eases. Obviously even a good anti septic la futile against these causes. In my opinion the nostrum tou men tion has precisely the antiseptic value of .a teaspoonful of boric acid dis solved in a pint of boiled water. Bleaching the Hair. I had chestnut colored hair, but I used a nostrum) and later pe roxide and bleached it. Now I have to keep using the bleach as the hair grows out. Will this Injure my hair, or my mind, or my health? Miss L. K. Answer It is harmless to health to use peroxide to bleach your hair, but I can't answer for the nostrum. Of .course bleaching Is a chemical process and may eventually harm the hair.

KLAMATH MAYOR DECLARES COPCO For Electing President By Popular Vote Instead Of Electoral College To the Editor: In spite of the great victories the Republican and the Democratic par ties have won over each other dur ing the past 72 years, subsequent elections have proven that either party has a precarious hold upon the electorate. A study of past elections will reveal this. And this study will also reveal that several, of the Re publican successes have been due to the political blunders of the oppos ing party, and vice versa. Going back to the first election of Lincoln we find the Democratic party hopelessly split and another party dividing the party's vote. Had the Democratic party been as united in 1800 as It had been theretofore, :ts nominees would undoubtedly have been electd. In the campaign of 1864, Lincoln, so It Is related, thought he saw de feat at the polls, and had decided upon the election of his opponent, upon resigning and letting his suc cessor carry on the closing scenes of the Civil war. As It was, Lincoln was triumphantly re-elected. But there was a large adverse vote in the north and had the southern states been represented in the electoral col lege, Lincoln would have been de feated. In 1868, General Grant, with a.l his fresh laurels from the war and with an almost worshipful popular ity behind him, had a close race, with the south still unrepresented. In three or four states from which Grant obtained a large block of elec toral votes, he carried those states by less than 1100 votes. General Grant probably escarped defeat for re-election by a Democratic blunder. The Republican party was confronted by a schism. A large ele ment within the party had become dissatisfied with Grant's administra tion and went so far as to nominate a ticket, headed by Horace Greeley. In opposition. The Democratic blun der was in in Indorsing this ticket. Had that party nominated ft strong outstanding candidate and made a spirited campaign as during the pre ceding national election, the result quite likely would have been differ ent. . The closest election was In 1876. when Ttlden received a plurality vote, but the vote In three states was ro close (and finally decided only a few days before Inauguration) that Hayes was accorded one electoral majority after a very bitter contest. The Garfield-Hancock election was an uncertainty until the votes had been counted. Garfield's popular ma jority was comparatively small. The Blaine -Cleveland contest was very close and Cleveland won by se curing New York's electoral votes by a popular plurality of less than 1100. A disaffection among the Republi cans, headed by Conk 11 rig, Schurz and other leaders of the party, con tributed to Blaine's defeat. Cleveland lost a re-election to Har rison in 1888 by an electoral plural ity, although he had, (as I remember) a popular plurality. Old-Time Gridiron Stars Of Medford Squads Are Named By 'Grandpa Fan 9 In anticipation of the big game to be played tomorrow at Multnomah field, from which he expects "Medford to bring home the bacon" If she plays her regular brand of football; a fan of 35 years, who has watchel local teams grow from the game at Robinson Flat to the speedy present-day encounters at Van Scoyoo field, turned back the pages today to pick his own all-stars. And to remark that the present team is the best Medford' eTer had, and the coaching system superior to all predecessors. Football wa a country-wide oport 35 year ago. when Vila particular fan a a boy of five haunted the football field. Tho town team waa the first team and usually licked the school team. "But MedfonT always took ner football seriously," he add ed, "and was always bringing to the front a faster man Ilka young Ol Unsky. . "There wa a period, however, dur ing which Aahland beat the local, due to the Ashcraft family, a bunch of real players. 17ie Eagle Point team waa plenty hot, too, when the von der Hellen were in their prime. They carried the championship for a number of year. Those were the day of the hurdle, and the von der Hcllens ould Just pick up a little fellow, named Mummaugh, and pitch him over the line. "The greatest linesman southern Oregon ever had was Lewi Bennett, who played for Medford and made varsity at Oregon State: then Bill Morgan, who developed after he en tered Oregon. "The best runner southern Oregon ever saw In action was Pansy Ander son: h was faster than Olllnsky. Bob Palouae woo hot on the running, too." The tan of many years gazed off toward Van Scoyoo field, "fie was plenty good.'. . "Claud Hoover waa one of the beat ends Medford ever had. He was a plaj-er and later mad varsity at the College of Physician and Surgeon at St. Louis. Bed McDonald wa an other, and Hughes, I'd say th best center put out here. One of the Merrlman boy wa a dandy In the old days too. And Shorty Miles, he was a quarter back and a real one. "Th best runner I've seen here tn 55 yeor though, and I've never missed a game, were Pansy Ander son, first. Olllnsky. now on the Job. and Al Melvln. "Cogjlns was a wonderful player, too, about 15 year ago. And Trev Lumsden, th banker, believe It or not. that guy could play football.. "Eddl Demmer, I'd ey wa the best punter. There was a Dressier, too. who added a lot of life to foot ball her. Bo did Beeeon of Talent, he wa plenty good. And Clayton Isaac, down there In th music shop, he ws all tuned up when he got on th field. "But they got m all beat today. Kvery year football la getting bet ter. You talk a lot here about Prlna all -team. Why I remember Cleveland turned the tables on Harrison In U97. but by no great popular or electoral margin. Many of us can recall the McKJn-ley-Bryan campaign if 1809. Up un til October Bryan seemed a winner, but the master strategy of Mark Hanna overcame apparent defeat and carried his candidate through. A di vided ticket, headed by Palmer, aided Bryan's defeat. MoKlnley was again elected in 1000. His untimely death at the handa of an assassin elevated Theodore Roose velt to the presidency, and he suc ceeded himself in the half-spirited contest of 1004. when the Democrats decided to sidetrack Bryan and nom inated Alton B. Parker. There was no keen support for Parker among the rank and file of the Democrats. and here enters for the .first time In our history political majorities running in excess of a million votes. Taft swept the country In 1S08 over Bryan. And then came the Re publican debacle In 1912 and the overwhelming victory of Wilson, though the combined popular vote of Taft and Roosevelt evas greater than that of Wilson. The great majority of voters re member the closeness of the contest In 1916. between Wilson and Hughes California, the last state to report final returns, gave Wllsor a 1 are plurality of something like 12W) votes. and her vote re-elected Wilson. Re publican disaffection again made a Democrat president. Harding's elctlon was a walkaway. Any Republican would have succeed ed that year and any Democrat would have been defeated. The American people were overfed on everything that pertained to the World war. Whatever chances, if any, the Dem ocrats may have had of winning In 1924, were thrown to the winds by the Democratic convention 'debacle. The rancor there sown could not be eradicated by election time and Cool ldge went In by a large plurality. John W. Davis was the sacrifice. One of the candidates of the turbu lent 1924 convention, Alfred E. Smith, won the Democratic nomination In 1928. I was at that time and am now more firmly convinced than ever that Smith's religion and noth ing else, defeated him. I believe, but for that alone, he would have been elected. For, what may be said to the contrary notwithstanding, the country was not "sold" on Hoover In 1928. The 1932 election Is fresh history Down to 1904 it can be shown that a change of & few thousand votes (In three cases a change of a few hundred votes) in some of the states that have large electoral votes would have changed the electoral vote and defeated the successful candidate. A logical deduction Is that our electoral college Is archaic and an anachronism and should be displaced by ft method more in keeping with a modern democracy, preferably popular vote. A. B. WILLIAMS. Medford. November 23. well when' Bill Bowerman was Just a bench warmer. They develop aa they go along. And I'd like to see that team of Prlnk'a up against a passing attack of Burgher's men. I wonder what they'd do. Burgher's kicking excells them all, too. "When they used to play out there on old Robinson Flat down Holly atreet, the Irrigation ditch that furn ished water to the brewery, ran right by. They frequently had to stop the game to fish out the ball, but thought they were putting out the best brand of football. Every gen eration thinks oo, and every gener ation does. When someone looks bock at the real teams of such and auch a time. I'd like to see them brought forward. Just to show them the kind of a walloping they'd get. These boys could beat them all and they're putting out a better, clean er type of football. "It's the whole system, the old fan explained. "They start right Into It down In the grades: Henderson gives it to them, Klrtley gives It to them, and -Burgher gives It to them, all the same kind of ball.

STATE POLICE TARGET FOR GUNS (Continued from Page One) McQuade and Lee Jackson, were In dicted, and are still sought for their part In the Knott killing. The grim desperateness of the trio last night caused the theory to be given credence that the attempted killers of Officer Folsom may have Included either McQuade or Jackson, and thBt they shot to ovoid arrest, and revealment as the missing fugi tives. Shot Without Warning. Officer Folsom stopped the ear, bearing an Illinois license, 808-911, when he noticed that it had no tall, light. A man came to the rear of the car, where the state policeman was standing. Folsom asked for th driver's license. The man replied "Sure," and reached In hie coat. He drew his revolver and opened fire ln stnntly, and then leaped on the run ning board, as the sedan roared away.
