Why not call It Jagsaw driving? No figures a available on the hor ror cavjed by the plea of Mr. Wrlgley, the 3um King, "to spend money to return prosperity." This Is talking sense. Those who have more money than thoy know what to do with, have spent less than those who have none. The first-named have been patiently waiting for the financially barren to start apendlng, while they were fashionable and thrifty, at one and the same time. Result: Every body la broke, and claims he is. linus to a horse (Le Croix, Kan Times) Oh horse, you are a wonderful thing; no buttons to pwush; no horns to honk; you start your self; no clutch to slip; no spark to miss; no gears to strip; no license buying every year with plates to screw on front and rear; no gas bills climbing up each day, stealing the Joy of life away; no speed cops clugglng In your rear, yelling summons In your ear. Your Inner tubes are all O. K., and, thank the Lord, they stay that way. Your spark plugs never miss and fuss; your motor never makes vis cuss. Your frame la good for many a mile; your body never changes style; your wants are few and easy met; you've something on the auto yet, t The Mikado of Japan Is reported as preying that there be no war with China.

The Truth came to town yesterday and waa not recognlesd, being such a stranger. Later, identification was made.

He expressed doubt anent the sufficiency of moisture, tout admitted there had been plenty of rain. He said one trouble with the rain, waa the inability to get It when needed. Instead of when he has his hay down, He said he had been fighting this weather Injustice for 80 years, and was about ready to surren der to the weather man. What Are We Coming to! CHORTLY after the editorial below was written, this newa paper was informed that following the meeting of the Good Government Congress at the court house last night THE COURT HOUSE WAS BROKEN INTO, THE VAULT WAS SMASHED AND BALLOTS, CAST FOR SHERIFF AT THE LAST ELECTION, WERE STOLEN I Yesterday the court ruled NOT Judge Norton, but Judge SKIPWORTH of Lane county, that former Sheriff Jennings' demand for a recount was valid, and the recount was ordered at 8 o'clock this morning. These ballots had to be kept intact, or the recount ordered could not be carried out. NOW WE ASK THE PEOPLE OF JACKSON COUNTY TO WHOSE INTEREST IT WAS THAT THESE BALLOTS SHOULD BE STOLEN, AND THIS RECOUNT DISMISSED! e fK of course, we know, and everyone else knows I The Good Government Congress will deplore this lawlessness and violence. Unlets we are much mistaken the official organ of this congress will cry out for law and order again, and demand the "dastardly culprits" be brought to justice. YESt But we repeat who BENEFITED BY THIS OUTRAGE. Was it the diabolical work of believe even the spokesmen of will so insult the intelligence of as to try to put THAT over. What "gang" was itf For SOME gang, We will answer that: It was law and order in this county, it prevent the best sheriff Jackson he was the ohoice of the people election. It was the gang that goes darkness to break into our court house and steal if need be MURDER it was a lawless gang, a desperate gang, and in a community where cries for a rope and threats of violence and bloodshed have repeatedly been made, this gang at last, so all can SEE, SHOWED ITS HAND 1 If thero is anyone in this county, who is not awake NOW to the dangers that confront them, can't see the gun that is aimed at the very heart of what we call civilization, isn't willjng to stand behind our courts and our publio officials and aid them in putting down such a band of gunmen and criminals, then what in the name of decency and common sense, OAN awake them! "Right and Wrong!" "Now there Is but one question Involved In this matter. The question of right and wrong. If our publio officials are right, they are bound to win. If they are wrong, they are bound to lose. Time alone la the great leveler." Medford Dally News. Here is a statement which this paper heartily endorses. In fact in slightly different wordB, the Mail Tribune expressed the same sentiment, in this oolumn only a short time ago. The issue IS between what is right and what is wrong. It IS between what is true and what is false. It IS between upholding the courts and law enforcing agen cies of this community, and botween supporting an organization whose members call for a rope, admit they go about the county armed, and through intimidation, threats of violence and abuse, try to destroy our courts, and render the enforcement of law, IMPOSSIBLE 1 IF these things are right if it IS right to threaten violence and bloodshed, if it IS right, to call for the overthrow of our local government, If it IS right, to call peace officers en gaged in their proper duties, "bandits," and threaten to kill them, if they dare serve papers, in the regular performance of their duties, then the Medford News is right, and sooner or later, is bound to win. Time alone IS the great leveler! "HUE time has come, as we have stated bofore, for the people of Jackson county to rise on their hind legs, and be COUNTED! To let the world know whother they believe in law and order, or believe in lawlessness and anarchy, whether they want this government to be a government of, for and by the people ; or a government of, for and by, one man in it, L. A. Bunks 1 That is the issue, and it is an issue that must be fought out to a finish and fought out now. It must be fought by an aroused and enraged public opinion, which will stand by the courts; stand by our jury system, stand by these duly elected and honest "publio officials," who are doing everything in their, power to put down the forces of violence and insurrection, ..establish law and order, and make this valloy once more a safe and decent place in which to live. Another Lie Nailed IN this samo artiole closing as above, declaring the issue to be between right and wrong, the Daily News justifies its charge against the local government, the courts, the jury system, the peace officers, and our publio officials, by repeating the same charges it has been making, almost day by day, for months, in fact for years. We haven't space to take up all these charges, but they will be taken up in a news article on the front page of this issue. We will take only one at random, and leave it to the pcoplo of this county to decide whether the presentation of this chso, is right or wrong, whether the charges made arc true or false. To quote: "We witness the circuit Judge of this Judicial district sppearlng before a grand Jury and charging a eltlaen with criminal libel and criminal syndicalism." This refers of course to Judge Norton. What is the TRUTH t , The truth is Judge Norton did NOT appear before the grand juryj the grand jury with its final report to make, appeared before HIM as the LAW provides. Judge Norton did NOT charge a citizen ANY citizen, with eriminal libel and criminal syndicalism. He did report to that jury, the conditions existing in this county, as it was his SWORN DUTY TO DO, and that is ALL that he did. Ho brought NO charges. He mentioned NO names, but he DID, deplore the conditions existing; he did' urge upon the the Medford gangt We don't the Good Government Congress the pcoplo of Jackson county, it obviously was the work of the GANG, trying to overthrow was the GANG determined to county ever had, showing that of this community at the last armed, willing under cover of people of this community the necessity of preserving Jaw and order, be did declare violations of law had been occurring, and were occuring, and he mentioned those violations". That was his duty not only as a good judge, but as a good citizen. If he had done anything less he would have been false to his trust, derelict in his duty. "THAT is only another example of how this morning news- paper distorts the facts, takes a thread of truth and weaves it into a malicious and destructive falsehood, for one purpose and one alone, to so poison the publio mind, that it may destroy our courts, crucify an honest and fearless judge, and through abuse and intimidation, put itself above the courts, above the law, and become the ABSOLUTE DICTATOR OF JACKSON COUNTY. THERE is the issue. And it holding our government, as it exists, and destroying it. And we know Jackson county well enough to know that every right thinking person, every law abiding citizen, will accept this challenge, will stand up and be counted, on the side of right against wrong, of the truth against falsehood, between preserving and maintaining this government of ours and DESTROYING it!

(Cheyne, Os ier and I said ailment, whatever . the proof readers or typographers may think we meant), "and If he would continue free of great and dangerous distempers and pre serve his senses and facuUtles clean to the last he ought every seven years go on abating grad ually and sensibly, and at last descend out of life as he ascend ed Into It, even into the child's diet." By child's diet of course Cheyne meant a straight milk diet. Who was George Oheyene, by wie way? That seven-year allusion in his aphorism makes one wonder how he got that way. Briefly, George woe the famous Pat Boy of his time, born in Scotland In 1871, yet by the time he was 30 years old he had managed somehow to get his weight up to 448 pounds, and entirely by eating and drinking in excess. But by now his nativity showed itse.l by the great shortness of breath and lethargy of the man he expended no effort If he could possibly avoid It. Clothing for a man that size costs 50 per cent more than clothing for a normal man. even if you press your own kilts, as Harry Lauder docs, and so Georg Cheyne began dieting on milk and vegetables and exercising freely. and thus reduced his weight to 160 pounds. He survived to what In his day was a ripe old age. 73 years, and left to posterity his famous essay on health and long life, from 'Chloh Dr. Osier often quoted. Today the age of sixty would be early enough to begin to lessen the quantity of food, and for many men or women who remain actively in business or at their regular occupa tion beyond that age It would be unwise to change the dietary habits unless these have been wrong right along. Young persons may experiment with dieting without much risk of fatal crsequences (except the light ing up of latent tuberculosis where reduction diet is carried to extremes). But men and women of mature g are foolish to monkey with their dlt In any way unless under the advice of the physician.

I hereby accept your challenge. ' Do not remember what you wanted to debate about, but It really makes no difference. As - to my qualifications, first, I went cut with Bill Bolger before he waa elected as president of the Chamber of Commerce. We debated Chet Wendt and Henry Conger: we were defeated. However, Bill put up such a good talk that they elected him president of the Chamber of Commerce. I next promoted a debate with the Humane society. This was a Uttlti too fast for me so I called It off. I won a moral victory, how ever, for no more coons are to be killed with sticks In this county. I next met with Henry Neldermeyer and we debated Conger and Barnes on the sales tax. These two gentle men put up such a good argument on the sales tax that they not only won the debate, but I went with Mr. Conger to debate State Master Gill, taking the affirmative on the subject. We stayed through this de bate but when Brother Bill began to shed tears about taxes, we were all In favor of abolishing all taxes. Conger got a trip to the legislature and ate with Ed Kelly while there, for his wonderful showing on ora tory against the state master.

The Only Weapons. To the Editor: I write this from neutral corner. To be more specific. I belong neither to the Banks crowd nor the clique th a t he cl asses as h Is e ne m les. I repeat I am neutral but I am ask ing this: Why all thla shouting and threats of shooting? There is only one lawful course for Bank and fcli followers to use, and -AMERICA'S- 10 A Paradox Keeping up the standard of living is one of America's 10 biggest problems, says Prof. William Fielding Ogburn. One way to help do It Is by working out an economic organization that will Increase the capacity to purchase along with the capacity to produce, he says, citing how America has bulging stores of food such as those above while long lines of unemployed go hungry and their standard of living Is reduced.. This la the ninth of a series of articles in which Prof. William Field ing Ogburn of the University of Chi cago discusses what he considers the 10 biggest problems facing America. By William Fielding Ogburn Research Director, President's Com mittee on Recent Social Trends (Written for The Associated Press) The problem with regard' to the standard of living In the next few years will be to prevent It from be ing lowered. We probably ahall be slow in com ing out of the present depression. It may take from one to three or four years, In which case the eco nomic forces will be driving down the living standards. It has taken a long time to bring them to the present level. For 10 or 15 years following the opening of the century the change in the standard of life was very slow for the wage earners. It moved up more rapidly during the war period and thereafter. It would cer tainly be a loss to mankind If the gains of a third of a century should be lost In the few years of the pres ent depression. Sharing Jobs a Necessity A plan for sharing work by those who have Jobs with those who have none Is a necessary measure for meeting the terrible ravages of the present unemployment, but it should not be allowed to serve as a device for keeping the income down after the depression Is over. For those out of work the stan dard of living already has fallen precipitously. The aim here should be to maintain a minimum standard of living. During the next few years the problem will be particularly acute for the hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of unemployed who are very near the retiring age and never will be employed again. Problem For Young People It Is also serious for the young that Is the recall with ballota as weapons. Then, after the ballota are cast, let that decide the matter. Or, if any of our officers are guilty of malfeasance In office, bring forth the evidence and proof and let's con vict them through the grand Jury and courts up to the state supreme court, if necessary. Then, If Jack son county's 19.000 voters think that Banks is right, .they can rally to him as a solid unit. If they all think he is wrong they can unite against him. This is the only sane way to handle the matter. We do not know these men Norton, Codding and Nealon but until they , are convicted of the crimes charged by Banks, or are put out of office by the recall, we would hate to think that they are yellow enough to resign and run at the first sign of danger. They must not do that, and we don't think they will. We reiterate Banks MAY be right but let us resort either to the re call or i take the case to the state supreme court, and then, if Banks Is right, we are for him 100 per cent. In the meantime, those accused should pay no attention whatever to threat and should completely Ignore the so-called Good Government lea gue. We repeat. If Banks can furnish the evidence, we are for trying these men in the supreme court, or, resort to the recall. But people who place a bomb, fire a shot or attempt to banish by harsh methods any of these men. must set tle matters with a company of sol diers. ,Ave warn don't any of you be the dupe of a self-appointed leader! The only lawful weapons are the recall and the courts. Harsher methods will be met by a bunch of our United States regulars, drawn up In business formation. Let's be sane use the recall or the courts or keep si!ent. Tou can't win by violence so long as the United States stands. A TAXPAYER. (Name on- file.) Prejudices and Thanking. To the Editor: Many persona who think they are thinking are merely rearranging 'their prejudices. The more you ponder on that state ment, the more truth you will find in It. and mot of us will have to plead Riitlty to the Indictment. A prejudice Is a Judgment reached be fore we hare taken time to learn and consider all the facts. Sometimes intuitional prejudice may be Jxistl fled. but more often then not It unfair to the person or subject sjtalnst which It is directed, and mis leading to the person whs holds It. Feelirur leads tv orhidir ths-mx- leads to understanding. Once a prej udice Is established, thoiuht la block ed, perhaps, but we cnunot think be yond It. lis a wholesome exercise to take our prejudices out for an airing, review them, face them to facts, mak- them defend themselves If thev can. I It u dangerous to have blind spots BIGGEST PROBLEMS Poverty In The Midst Of Plenty people who have been out of high school three, four, or five years and have been given no opportunity to form habits of thrift, skill and am bition because of lack of employ ment.' When the present crisis la past, but let us hope not forgot, the great task will be to raise the standard of living. Many times In history the fight fcr more of the good things, of life has led to revolution and appropria tion of land and property from those who have by those who have not. "Redistributing Wealth One Way" The simplest way of raising the standard of living seems to be to redistribute wealth. This has been the constant theme of radicals, but now a new program has arisen show ing that by Increasing production and distribution the standard of liv ing will also be raised. If all of the wealth of the world were divided equally among every one, the rise In the standard of liv ing, would only be slight and per haps temporary, but if an economic organization can be worked out so that more goods are produced and distributed, the standard of living may be Increased more effectively. The present depression has thrown a new light on this problem for now we have plenty of production and bulging warehouses, but a lowered standard of living and hungry men. ' The problem is to work out an economic organization s6 the capac ity of purchase will flow along at the same rate as the capacity to pro duce. If this problem can be solved the danger of regression to the standards of misery of earlier times will be removed and prospects of a much higher standard of living will be In sight Favorable Factors Cited There are a number of favorable factors.

The second favorable factor Is that -our natural resources will be plen tiful for at least a decade and prob ably for a much longer time. The third favorable factor la In vention and technological develop ment, which gives every prospect of yielding a greater and greater pro duction of wealth. With these three factors favorable If the economic organization can be made to func tion better. It ought to be possible to contemplate within the lives ol perhaps many of the readers a much higher standard of living for moat of our countrymen far above the poverty level. Other Problems Stand Out Two other problems should be mentioned. One Is to try to raise the standard of living In those few regions less favorable situated as, for Instance, in outlying towns and villages, and among the sub-marginal farms. The second problem deals with a certain percentage of mankind who still will remain the victims of accident and circum stances. For these more In the way of provision of social Insurance against disease, unemployment and old age will be needed. On the whole the outlook Is very dark for the next few years and will demand the Intelligent application of all of the forces of society, but in the long run the prospect Is bright for a world without poverty. Tomorrow: "Happiness A Public Policy." The moat cherished desire of many Is happiness, says Profes sor Ogburn. although little Is known about that elusive state of being. Solving the problems of family re lationship Is the most important step toward happiness, he asserts.
