determined to gain their own endi.
The well meaning people add a touoh
of respectability to the cussedness.
John Law, once he catchea up with

that well meaning people ahould have

therefor were a bad lnfltienca on

"Who" Is Above the Law!
"MOT only once BUT MANY TIMES, the Daily Newg ha
praised the members of the present grand jury, aa honest,
intelligent and eomcientioua citizens, determined to investigate
the break-down of law and order in Jackson county, and bring
thoae responsible to justice.
The Daily News called on its followers to present their evi.
dence of the break-down of law and order, before THIS body,
because, as it declared less than three weeks ago:
"Jackson county now has a grand Jury composed of citizens
who desire to establish Justice and provide for the r-establlsh-mont
of law and order la this community."
No one questions this has, or will be, done. Undoubtedly, ALL
the evidence supporting these time-honored charges of the break
down of law and order, WERE put before this body of "honest,
intelligent and conscientious citizens" the Dahack case, the
Bates case, the newsprint case, the Ashland murder case, and all
the other cases. If this was NOT done, then certainly it was
solely the fault of the faithful
ordered to present their evidence, who DID appear before this
inquisitorial body, and had every' opportunity to do what they
were told to do.
o e o o
ALL RIGHT. THEN what happened I
" After weeks of careful investigation, after studying and
sifting out all the evidence presented, this body of honest, con
scientious citizens, with only one desire "to establish justice
and provide for the re-establishment of law and order in this
community" in short, what one might term this paper's "own
grand jury" handed down three indictments AGAINST THE
EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS, HIMSELF.
Two for criminal libel. ,
One for criminal syndicalism.
All right again.
THEN what happened! . .
These intelligent members of the grand jury suddenly be
came "stupid," We quote the
"I waa amazed not only at the
ney and our circuit Judge, but I waa mora amaaed at th
stupidity of th grand Jury."
MORE amazed I The members of this grand jury who only
a few weeks ago were so intelligent, trustworthy and conscien
tious, arc'now even' MORE stupid than the two public officials,
chiefly responsible for the condition of lawlessness and anarchy
which now exists and that paper claims HAS for so many years
existed.
More than that! To secure these indictments Judge Norton
and George Codding, we again quote:
"Had risen above th law, had set aside the laws of this
stat, had become a law unto themselves. Csn you beat It?
Can you even tl lt"
WE CERTAINLY CAN'T I
Hera is t grand jury, made up of trustworthy and conscien
tious citizens, devoted to upholding the law and establishing
justice, according to the EDITOR'S OWN PUBLIC STATE
MENT ; so derelict in its duty, so cowardly and spineless that
it does not even PROTEST against two public officials,' putting
themselves above the law, setting aside the laws of this state
and beooming a law unto themselves, while they are in session.
XH0 are the members of this grand juryl William Grieve
' of Prospect is ohairman; the other mombors are Mrs
Hamilton Patton, G. L. Knight, Kurt Jeschke and Paul Mc
Curlcy of Medford j H. 0. Butterfiold and J, M. Hughes of
Ashland.
These people are all pretty well known. They represent an
accurate cross-section of Jackson county. Docs anyone outside
of the editor of the News BELIEVE they are "stupid", BE
LIEVE that if in THEIR OPINION the indictments returned
against the editor of the News, were NOT justified, they would
ever have voted them ; BELIEVE they would sit idly by and
allow two public officials, any public officials, set them
selves above the law, set aside the laws of this state, and become
a law unto themselves, and not evon SAY anything about it.
If there are,- then as good oitizens it is their public duty to
register their protest, express this belief before this grand jury,
and present their evidence to sustain this belief.
1THILE awaiting such action, just one word more.
This is not the first grand jury, that has been con
demned, in the same way by the editor of the Daily News.
Less than a year ago, in June 1932, a grand jury was in
session, and all evidence available to sustain that paper's charge
of the break-down of law and order, corruption and skuldug
gery in public office, was presented. The editor himself ap
peared before that body. The Dahack case, the Bates case,
etc, etc,, were all gone into; the same charges now made Bgninst
Distriot Attorney Codding were
out.
And THAT grand jury like THIS grand jury, declared there
was no evidence to sustain these charges and expressed their
confidence in the publio officers and the law enforcement offi
cials of this bounty.
Who were the members of THAT grand jury t Hore they are :
Joalah I, Hubbard of Butt Falls, ohairman; Irving Porter
and Win. Bar bar of Ashland; Mrs. Ann K. Carley, Loo B. Wil
liams, Howard A. Hill ot Medford; and Reed Charley ot Browna
boro. As we recall it, every member of this grand jury.signcd the
report, EXCEPT Howard A. Hill.
11THAT did the Medford News say THENf It charged that
" grand jury with handing down a "whitewash"; it main
tained as it does now, the members of the jury were derelict in
their sworn duty, did not have the courage and the manhood
to indict the lawless gang, which with its iron heel was orushing
justice and upholding crime in this peace loving and law abid
ing community. They were the supine tools of a wicked and
unscrupulous district attorney 1
"Can you beat it!"
"Can you even tie itf"
WE CAN'T.
AND all this is done in the name of law and order, under the
V banner of crushing out those public officials, who put
themselves above the law, who have become a law unto them
selves 1
Now in all seriousness, for while this sort of thing used
to be a joke, with talks of ropes, threats of bloodshed and
pillaging of the court house it has long since ceased to be.
We repeat IN ALL SERIOUSNESS who is putting him
self above the law, who has become a law unto himself t Who
refuses not only to accept the judgment of ANY grand jury
that is called, to establish law and order in this community
followers of the Newg, who were
editor:
stupidity of our district attor
undoubtedly carefully threshed
and give the long suffering people relief, but WHO declares no
lawyer in the local bar association or the STATE association,
can be trusted; no judge in a local court, or in ANY circuit
court in this state, can be depended upon, no person in author
ity, with perhaps one exception, is honest or law abiding, or
earnestly desiring to make this community and this state, a
safe and decent plaeo in which to live, but HIMSELF 1
We will let the right thinking and fair minded people of
Jackson county answer that question.
And finally, in all seriousness, WHAT are the people of this
community going to do about it 1
WE have given the answer before, but we are going to give
it again and again, until this intolerable situation is
cleared up ONCE AND FOR ALL. ,
It is this :
Let all right-thinking, law-abiding citizens stand up and be
counted, give their active support to our public officials, our
courts, our jury system, IN SHORT TO THE GOVERNMENT
UNDER WHICH WE LIVE. Let them EVERY DAY, IN
EVERY WAY uphold the officials of this government, when
they declare that no man, rich or poor, strong or weak, old or
young, who OWNS a newspaper or DOESN'T own a news
paper, WHO IS IN OFFICE OR NOT IN OFFICE, can set
himself up above that government, a law UNTO HIMSELF,
and GET AWAY WITH IT! .

GOOD CHEER FOR
Ot all the afflictions of good men
and women there are two which 1
never could regard with equanimity.
namely cancer of
the womb which
comes to so many
mothers of large
families and pros,
tatlc obstruction,
which destroys
the peace, com
fort and serenity
of grandfathers.
Both, afflictions
are inscrutable
unless they are
rewards conferred
by a malicious
providence.
The application of electro-surgery
to th relief ot prostatic obstruction
1 not a novel Idea. Independent,
progressive physicians have been de
veloping th technic ot this method
for ten yesrs or more. They have fi
nally consolidated their guns, so to
speak, and given the fruits ot their
studies and experience with the newer
method to the profession.
In the preceding talk on this sub
ject th view ot on of th leading
urologist was quoted he believes the
standard surgical prostatectomy la
destined to become obsolete' In 00 per
cent of cases; whether the condition
b fibrosis, benign hypertrophy or a
malignant process.
Another urologist with Isrge ex
perience In both the older surgical
method and the newer electro-aur-
glcal method,' concludes that the
newer method Is effective In the ma
jority ot cases ot prcstatlo obstruc
tion, 73 per cent ot cases in which
there was moderate enlargement be
ing cured at one sitting. 37 per cent
requiring more than one sitting.
The new method Is surgical, or
course, but It Is all don through th
cyatoscop. with cautery punch or
lectrotom or eleotro-coagulatton,
and no external Incision.
Careful foltow-up observations or
patients who have undergone the new
method of treatment ahowed that 70
per cent of them remained well and
free from any recurrence of the old
trouble for from three to ten years.
Surely that compares favorably with
any record the older method of pros
tatectomy csn show.
One of the lesdlng urologists, In
the symposium on the new method,
mad this characteristic remark:
"It Is possible that It will sup
plant perineal prostatectomy; It
will probably never completely
supersede suprapubic prostatec
tomy . . .

lsts when the diathermy method of
removing tonsils was now. How these
deft operators hate to see their trade
becoming obsolete!
Another urologist who has hsd per
haps too much publicity contented
himself with asking what will be th
actual mortality. Including the tour or
six weeks after the sitting, during
which the slough Is separating? That,
too, sounds strangely like the rhe

used In making professional calls,
office rent, cost of light, water, fuel,
and telephone in his office, and the
hire of office assistants.
Many physicians use their resi
dence both as their offices and their
homes. In such Instances the phy
sician may. deduct as a business ex
pense the rental value of the rooms
occupied for office purposes If he
actually paya rent, and also the cost
of light and heat furnished these
rooms. Also, he may deduct a por

Happiness never has been consid
ered as a social problem. It has been
the them of the philosopher and th
poet, but It never ha been attacked
by science. Indeed, the comment of
the misguided moralists has been:
"Th more you seek It th less you
find it."
Ther has been no platform In the
Republican or Democratic party on
the subject. Yet It is the one thing
we sit crave.
While many persons will think It
highly fsnclful to discuss th ques
tion of Incresslng happiness and
probably will condemn snyone at
tempting such a discussion ss an
impractical Idealist, yet I doubt '4
anyone would be so bold as to aay

INFLATION IDEA
IS DISCARDED BY
Party Leaders Gradually
Swinging to View That
Hard Budget and Hard
Cash Must Be Retained
By PAUL MALLON
(Copyrighted by Moclur Newspaper
Syndicate.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 32. Democrats
at th top have com around to the
view that they! wilt have to maintain
a hard budget and hsrd money. ' Tou
can mak a little bet on that now.
Any easing that Is don will be mild
snd quiet.
A few weeks back they were pri
vately wavering. Some conservstlvt
felt that debts could not be paid with
the present hard dollar. They went
In search of som mild form of in
flation. They have not entirely given
up the idea. But they have become
convinced' that a show will have to
ba made for a budget balanced more
strictly than In the past and money
maintained at the existing standard.
They will try to take care of debtors
In other ways.
Two developments are forcing Mr.
Roosevelt more or less reluctantly to
thla stsnd. Foremost Is the campaign
which Is being quietly but forcefully
oarrled on by the administration. Mr.
Hoover and Mr. Mills have sold or
oversold the country on the proposi
tion, depending on the way you look
at It. The budget baa not been bal
anced for three years now under th
Hoover-Mills regime. Yet the price
of government bonds has been main
tained. Currency haa been and can
be issued under the Olass-Borah
amendment, without regard to gold
reserves. Yet no excitement bss been
created financially. Neither has any
material good been one.
Democrats might have overcome the
hard-way policy, but their own people,
are turning toward It. The real death
knell ot an easy budget and easier
money wsa sounded when Bernard
Bsruch went before the Harrison In
vestigators. Coming slmultsneousry
with th Hoover gold atsndsrd speech
In New York and the MlUa-by-proxy
address In Kansas City, it disclosed
the handwriting on the wall.
Congressional leadcra are really
trying to save themselves sgalnst the
charge that they have wasted the
whole winter. They have marked
three bills for passage and these prob
ably will go through. The Wagner
relief bill Is one. It removes the
self-liquidating restrictions on the R.
P. O. and will open funde for con
structing many a waterworks, sewer
and other municipal Improvement
out In the oountry. Next Is th Hull
Wslcott bill for a two-yesr mora
torium on farm mortgages. Also in
cluded la the curtailed bankruptcy
bill.
Deala ar being made to assure
passage of these measures. v Every
thing els of sny tmportanc Is
doomed.
Peer of th farm revolt awoke the
senate early last week. Bad news
from Nebraska and the mid-west sent
the leglslatora Into action. That was
the sol motive behind the fsvorable
report msde on two farm mortgsxe
relief bills within 34 hours. The
mill-Wslcott and th Individual
bankruptcy bills will b psssed be
fore March 4 It th sam pressure
keepa up.
It was all a mlatak about Mr.
Osrner threatening to discipline those
Democrats who failed to support his
atronjr economy Ideas.
The Spesker dropped a hint about
It In on ot his press conferences.
He suggested It ought to be done.
Mr. Roosevelt haa a powerful patron
age sword over the congressmen in
his party. He could easily refuse
them poetmastersmps ir they declined
to vote his governmentsl reductions.
But when Garner saw the Idea In

BIGGEST
PROBLEMS
If science should Investigate th
subjsct th most probsbl hypothesis
of approach would. 1 think, oenter
around affection. Such would cer
tainly be the advice of the novelist.
The affectional aid of a peopls
clusters around marriage and the
family. One In every six msrrlsges
will end In divorce. Yet, curiously
enough, about three out of every four
marriages at any one time are found
to be happy marriage.
Family Problems Studied.
Th attempt to deal with family
problems by th clergy, by th pby
slclsns, by th court, snd by a grow
ing number of social agencies snd in

It seems probsbl thy will throw
a great deal of light on foross snd
factors which play a part In produc

Be It resolved by th City Council ot

That whereas, viciously false propa

ous statements are being circulated
against our courts. Judges and law
enforcement officers tor the purpose
of displacing them and placing our
courts. Judges and law enforcement
otticera In th handa and control and
under the domination of designing
politicians that they may be made to
do their bidding and serve their own
selfish purposes; and,
Whereas, we have recently wit
nessed an unprecedented and fla
grant challenge to the lawful process
of our courts and to all legal author

Whereas, however, courageous, wise
and Just our courts and officers msy
be, systematic and continued misrep
resentation as Is now going on will
ultimately result in undermining
their Influence and tn bringing them
into so great a degree of disfavor that
brave and honorable men will be
retired from the bench and offices
and be aucceeded by Judges and offi
cers who will study, not how to ad
minister Justice in accord with th
spirit of the law, but how best to
win the applause of the hour and the
favor of corrupt and designing poli
ticians: and,
Wheress, these false, libelous and
acsndalous attacks upon our courts,
Judges and law enforcement offlcera,
have been broadcast throughout the
nation bringing our county and
people into disrepute and dlsgrsce as
lawless and causing and engendering
hate among our citizens and threat
ening the peace and tranquility of

adding to the rlgora and burden of
our general financial depression, all
of which If continued will surely and
ultimately displace our lawfully con

Whereaa, by reason of the apathy
and Indifference of our citizens these
unlawful. Iniquitous, anarchlstlo and
disgraceful attacka upon our courts.
Judges, Judicial system and offlcera
have been tolerated to a point where
they must either b curbed and
stamped out or we must submit to
th overthrow of sll law and order

Work Affords Happiness.
The family does not offer the only

Happiness Is te be found for many

large proportion of mankind religion
does bring a peace and abiding Joy.
One other foci of t'orces that make
