Tom looked out and beheld It and
thought his time had como. He
Jumped up, looked around and the
water began to pour Into the house.
Thle was too much for him, so he
threw hi fiddle out the window,
into the stream and fell on his knees
and began to pray with more earnest

Editorial Correspondence
HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan.
Medford papers that the eounty court has agreed on various
important matter an audit of
ment, a new disposal of marriage license fees, etc., etc Let the
good work continue. The law does not provide, and the people
do not want A ONE MAN county court. The court now has a
representative from Medford, one from Ashland, and one from
the north part of the county. This is proper geographical
representation. A majority of two on the court should rule.
But better yet, there should be a policy of give and take, a
settlement of differences Inside the court, not OUTSIDE, and
as far as possible, unanimity on all important questions of
policy. The agreoment noted above, indicates that this rfan be
done.
Here is news a depression -
cred by a correspondent of the
the famous and exceedingly
desert about 125 miles east from here. Not only are the hotels
filled, but 1929 prices prevail and everybody is happy. We
don't know which is the more remarkable, the fact that hotels
oan charge 1929 prices and get them; or that there are still
people about who can pay them. With Palm Springs, like
Grants Pass, it's the CLIMATE.
This Ruth Judd case is degenerating into a terrible mess.
Just a year ago Mrs. Judd was convicted on a charge of murder,
her only defense being insanity. Now as a witness in action
against Jack Halloran charged with being an accessory in the
murder, she rants and raves and claims she killed in self de
fense. If she killed in self defense then Halloran is innocent
because no crime waa committed. If she didn't, then Halloran
is guilty, As Halloran is a man of wealth and standing trie
acquittal of both parties appears possible, though not probable.
But that such an outcome should be POSSIBLE only shows the
need of radical reform in our entire system of criminal procedure.
If the picture of Mrs. Judd in the Times is a fair representa
tion of what a year in prison has done to her, then it looks dark
for Ruth. For when the present writer saw her in the Phoenix
oourt room a year sgo, she was quite -attractive looking not
beautiful but appealing. This picture represents her as fat and
soddon a mean look In her eye.
Instead of spending her time in hysteria and accusations
against her alleged accomplice, Mrs. Judd should have dioted,
and been more careful with her lip stick 1
Still raining and all the natives are stepping high, wide,
and handsome. After two months of almost constant sunshine,
the rain not only helps the eropB, but improves the disposition
of the population. They are gotting as big a kick out of this
downpour, as the residents of Tillamook would out of a Jnnuary
day without a cloud in the sky. A visitor gets a laugh out of
a headline in a local paper: "Downpour presages prosperous
year for southern Cal." YEAlf, AVill rain raise the prices?
People who are downhearted and think the only answer for
this country is to go Bolshevik, are advised to read two articles
in the Sat. Eve, Post. One by Caret Garct, claiming that this
doprossion is not as bad as previous ones, and better times than
ever are not far ahead the other by Will Durant, the Liberal
philosopher, who went to Russia in favor of the Soviet scheme
and oame away, entirely disillusioned and convinced that com
munism doesn't work! is inferior to capitalism not only eco
nomically, but in the matter of personal liberty and general
well being of the rank and file. People eager for information
on the condition of the world, should read both articles care

A LAROE REPERTOIRE OP COUGHS
An Infant or young child wilt couch
moot ularmlngly (to mother or nura)
from simple coryw, pclally In the
early houri of
the night.' Much
of t h 1 a uaeleaa
coughing may be
prerented by
placing the child
prone, if you are
eure you know
what that meani,
and without a
pillow or with a
very email pillow.
We described
In an earlier win
ter view the ele
phant cough that
may be caueed by lrrnavion of Arnold's
nerve, a branch of the great, Fneu
mogaatrlc or lung-atomach nerve, that
supplies sensation to the skin In the
outer ear canal. Accumulation of
hardened wax ha kept many a, pati
ent coughing elephantly and doctor
guessing lndefatlgably for months on
end.
Just to give you a general Idea of
how much territory a doctor has for
guessing about the cause of cough, let
me mention a few of the poAslbllltles,
as noted by Dr. Charles Lyman Greene
In his textbook on Medical Diagnosis:
"Adenoids,' enlarged tonsils.
Impacted cerumen, granular
pharyngitis, hypertrophy of the
Ungual tonsil, enlarged turbin
ates, chronic disease of the ac
cessory sinuses, goiter, chronic
heart disease, diseases of the
liver, enlarged bronchial g lands,
aneurysm, mediastinal growths,
dorsal carles, occupation, habit,
and Imitation, are some of the
other potenttal or possible con
ditions to be considered aside
from affections or the brlnchl,
lungs and pleurae.
The experienced physician can rule
out most of these possibilities on
routine examination, but the layman
can never tell from hla own sensa
tions or from the character of the
cough what may or may not be caus
ing It. It Is remarkable that the
cough produced by a deep-seated
lung or pleural lesion often feels as
though It were Just a slight throat
tickling, and on the other hand a
cough really due to trifling nose or
throat irritation may feel and sound
as though It cornea from away down
deep In the chest.
These are some of the things a doc-1
tor thinks about when he Is spend-'
Ing a night working over a baby I
poisoned by morphine In a harmless!
little cough cure recommended to the j
Ignorant parent by the kind gentle- j
man who runs the neighborhood drug
store.
bloody episode. We read the Dally
News, but of course the Tribune, too
But then there Isn't much difference
between them. Messrs. Banks and
Ruhl are both constructed along hu
man lines, even though they do wear
golf p tints, although Bob doesn't try
to sleep In his. As required, we live
a long way back In the woods, so far.
Indeed that the owls have necking
parties with our chickens. As to the
scripture quoting, we promise to lay
off on that considerable of the Bible
causes our conscience to prickle, too.
One thing we want understood is
that we must stick closely to the
question, "Resolved that some of the
readers of the Dally News have an
overdose of politics." We do not wish'
to be backed off In the corner of a
co-operative creamery that Is, or
should be, under construction. Fur
thermore, we want It agreed that we
may quit whenever we get ready. We
have no desire to beat our opponent
Into sensibility. So there you are
"Parmer BUI." Shoot whenever you
get ready.
Tours very truly.

STATE RETARDED
SALEM, Jan. 24 (AP Of 38 ap
plications for permits to appropriate
water for electric power, only five
projects for a total of 400 horsepower
have been licensed during the past
year by the state hydro-electrlo com
mission, a report to the state legisla
ture today showed. The only two pro
posals for creation of power districts.
Tillamook and Hood River, have failed
of consummation because of vote In
sufficiency, It was reported.
The report, the second annual one
Issued since the creation of the com
mission by the 1931 legislature, shows
further that 15 applications for a
total of 483.000 horse power are still
pending In the commission. Pour ap
plications for a total of 113.890 horse
power have been rejected because of
failure to comply with provisions of
the act.
Three large applications for power
permits, totaling 336 000 horsepower,
were withdrawn since entered. The
move was voluntary upon the appli
cant. One small application has
been tentatively approved.
The two projects for the creation of
utility districts were disfavored be
cause of voting results in both dis
tricts. Two proceeding have de
veloped In th Tillamook project, but
both failed In Hood River, at In
Tillamook, all sub -divisions of the
proposed district dtd not return fa
vorable votes as required by law, the
report stated.
Card of Thank.
W wUh to express apperdatloa io
our many friends for their kindness
and sympathy extended to us during
our recent bereavement. We also
wish to especially thank Rev. W. J.
Howell for his word of comfort.
Mr. J. J. Ray and Pamlly.
Brady. U. D.
Plaurlsy and certain cases of pul
monary tuberculosis are the only con
ditions Z can think of, where It ts
for the patient's benefit to suppress
the cough. In all other conditions
of which cough Is a symptom the
use of opium, morphine, codeine, he
roine, chloroform, paregoric, dionln
and other narcotics la generally
harmful and sometimes dangerous.
Aside from the danger of opium or
narcotic poisoning, these so-called
cough sedatives lull the victim Into
false sense of Improvement when per
haps the Illness Is rapidly growing
worse. I believe the early resort to
one or another nostrum purporting
to "cure" cough is 'the straw that
converts many a mild bronchitis into
a grave pneumonia.
Am a rule a reasonable amount of
coughing la good for what alts you,
and if It comes to a question of
quieting or suppressing the cough the
method or means of doing this should
be left entirely to your physician's
judgment.
QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS
Protruding Ears.

truding ears. They seem very soft
and they turn over at every move
. . . (Mrs. R. M.
Answer They'll toughen as he
grows older and hears all the funny
talk. Some mothers believe the wear
ing of a bonnet at night corrects pro
truding ears
Sun Glasses.
Which are best to wear when one
has to face the glare of the sun
smoked glasses, blue, green or amber
goggles?
Answer Greenish or amber tinted
glass gives the best protection against
the ultraviolet rays. Various special
glasses used for goggles ate excellent.
If you wear glasses ordinarily, it le
better to have pair of plain tinted
or smoked glasses to wear over them
when you have to face the strong
sunlight.
Apology to Our Smoking Readers.
A year ago you gave us an inter
esting article on Thromboangltla Ob
literans and you said excessive smok
ing Is an Important contributing
cause. Recently you gave another
talk on the effects of tobacco on
health nd mentioned numerous ail
ments in causes but said nothing
about thrombo-angltls obliterans. As
a pipe smoker I am Interested. W.

Answer I like to have readers In-!
teres ted, but not scared. I did omit
thrombo-angltls obliterans from the
Hat of 111 effects of excessive use ofj
tobacco. An oversight. Note that It,
Is the excessive use of tobacco that
does harm, not temperate smoking.

Professor Rexford Tugwell of Co

Roosevelt's advisory staff
wrote a "Discourse on Depression"
last April, which may be significant
In that hi close relationship with
Roosevelt began soon afterward. ,
Some of the points then stressed
by Professor Tugwell were as follows:
"Purchasing power In th hand of
those who ultimately buy goods Is the
one Indispensable factor. Lacking
thl we lack everything. Possessing
it we have everything we value . . .
Practically this means extreme In
come taxation and distribution by the
government to consumers who will
spend for goods, start the production
processes again, and gradually restore
their own earning power."
A sound economic program would
Include "The securing of funds to
meet the expense (of organized fede
ral relief) by drastic Income and In
heritance taxes, avoiding sales taxes
which only tend to raise prices and
further restrict buying: the avoidance
of budgetry deficit and monetary in
flation; the taking over by the gov
ernment of any necessary enterprlie
which refuse to function when their
profits are absorbed by taxation.

Ye Poet's Cornei
Little Grey Lady.
At the end of a street Is a worn llttl
house.
It paint Is gone; Its windows are
bright
And the curtains so primly fastened
there.
Like the snow-topped hills ar
white
And the ghost of flowers are every
. where.
And a cool wind rocks an empty
chair
Watting th Little Grey Lady.
But she paused In her work and
answered her call.
So the Little Grey Lady comes not at
all.
Hers where purple bloom will be
A vine still hangs reluctantly
Again I seem to see
Anemone, flax and frail popples
(She gathered packet of seed from
these);
Rose moss, heliotrope and white
pansy.
Bordered with shells from a neigh
boring sea.
Here clove pink and mixed sweet pea,
Adding the charm of fragrancy.
Beside In rows Ilk girls at play
Her zinnias stood in their colors gay.
And that flowers might always th
front room grace.
She grew straw-flowers for the china
vase.
Often I have seen her there,
Sunlight on her silvery hair.
And she had-loved her cottonwood
tree.
It leaves seemed to greet br pleas
antly. Now its bare boughs lift to th
winter skies.
Their tinted tips a hint of spring.
As though to its own home nest there
flies
A grey bird, and wait on a bough
to sing.
