TPHREE days have passed aince the oourt house was broken into presumably by armed men the court vault smashed and the contents of scores of ballot boxes destroyed. A more serious crime against good government, could not be imagined. It was not only a crime of violence, involving the destruction of public property; it was not only an act ot unbridled lawless ness, but it was aiming a death blow at the very heart of this government and all popular government the destruction of the ballot box, ONE effective weapon the people have of secur ing good government, of PEAGEABLZ protecting their pro perty and their lives. A 8 we said when thia crime was first reported if this out- rage does not awaken the people of this community to the peril that confronts them, then what in the name of decency and common sense, CAN I Fortunately it HAS awakened them, at least thousands. Every local oivic organization that has met since this outrage was committed has passed resolutions condemning the forces that are RESPONSIBLE, demanding immediate ACTION, and pledging their support to the duly constituted authorities, to see that the law is enforced, and the guilty parties brought to justice. The people of Jacksonville, and their chamber of commerce Government offices have Aaa jmoue calls, expressing indignation and horror, and asking what they could do about clearing up such a situation. DUT ONE organization has .through its leaders nor its of protest against this heinous WORD expressing indignation; immediate and drastic action. And this organization, said to be by far the largest in Jackson county, is known as the Good Government Congress, The GOOD Government Congress 1 An organization devoted to maintenance of law and order, devoted to upholding and enforcing the law, using the American flag as its sacred symbol, the constitution of this state, and the United States as its moral guide, has nothing to say, no action to advise, when every ideal of "good government" haa been outraged, all respect for law and order, ground In the dirt, every principle of orderly and constitutional government, desecrated. ISN'T this STRANGE I Weknow there are many members of this organization who are sincere in their desire for better government in thia community, who honestly wish to advance good government, and all it means. We aslt, THEM isn't this strange 1 'Isn't it strange that an organization devoted to good govern ment, should at such a critical time, take no official action, when every prinbiple for which that organization STANDS, has been violated t Tet three days have passed. During those three days, the official organ of this congress, the Daily News, has expressed no indignation at this outrage, has called .for no action. e e e o IN fact quite to the contrary. According to this offioial spokesman' this orime is nothing to get excited about, nothing to justify another call to "re-establish law and order," nothing to particularly concern either this paper, or the mem bers of its organization, "it is just another strange disappear ance." . A STRANGE disappearance. That is all. Just another one of those things. In fact, as far as this paper is EDITORIALLY concerned, the court house wasn't broken into, the oourt vault was not smashed, the ballots were not stolen and burned, the ballot boxes were only "REMOVED." We again quote : "There are all kinds of strange rumors flying about town, aa to the ones responsible for removing the ballot boxes from the vaults of the county court house. So many atrange things happsn In Jackson county that It is hard to definitely tlx responsibility." "Hard to definitely fix responsibility I" Why try to I "PHE Dahack case is something to fight about for two or three years, the Bates case is something to make an issue, for almost as long; oases that Jiave been before three or four grand juries, oases that even a special governor, was unable to solve, they are all justification for a destruotive and incendiary agitation, that has nearly reduced this community to a shambles. But when a gang breaks into the court house, destroys bal lots on the eve of a recount ordered by the court, nullifies by destruction and force the orderly government, That it is just "another one of those strange tilings," whore it it so hard to fix responsibility. In fact, aocordlng to the official spokesman of the congress, it is oommon talk : "That the purpose of removing these ballots, was to make It unnecessary to appear before the supreme court and there ex plain how the ballots had previously been tampered with." But isn't that also a trifle strange! The court had ALREADY ruled- there was no evidence to sustain the charge the ballots had been tampered with. That entire accusation had been removed, before the recount was ordered. IN other words, this paper tries to make the people of this oommunity BELIEVE, that certain parties who had secured what they had been fighting immediately after thaf victory, proceeded to destroy the evi dence, essential to the carrying through of that recount! It tries to make the people believe certain parties cleared of a crime in court, then committed a far more serious orime, to cover up the orime they had BEEN ACQUITTED of. Do you get that. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. The Newa claims IN EFFECT that JENNINGS followers destroyed these ballots, so that the recount couldn't be carried on and SCIIERMER HOF.N could stay in office. D eeeee 0 the members of the Good Government Congress believe thatt Does ANY one believe itt Yet it is no more false, no more ridiculous, no more absurd than the charges and counter charges this same newspaper has been making daily through the same editorial columns. Th 086 latter charges the members of this Good Government Congress SUPPORT, but when an action which not only threat ens good government but ALL government occurs in their very MIDST, they take no official action, their offioial organ through their city government have taken similar action. literally been flooded by letters been strangely silent.

ANOTHER VIEW BEFORE AND AFTER A tuberculosis patient in a hospital writes a Ions tetter describing hi ex perience, from tbe Deglnnlnf tf the lUoeaft up to the present. The let ter cloeee with fine afterthought. "Otre m the auper ooneoientloue doctor at all times In pref- erenoe to the care 1 tM one, even If tbe former li mors expen sive." The patient says his Illness began with pleurisy wltb effusion (fluid accumulating In the chest). He had the cars of "the best of specialists," and tbe fluid was repeatedly aspirated from the ohest The specialists seemed unable to make a definite diagnosis. But they were conscientious specialists, and they finally sent the patient to distent city to anothei specialist who they thought might be able to diag nose the nature of the Illness. The big city specialist examined and studied the patient over a period of ten days. He was puzzled and in turn sent the patient to a hospital where he said they would make closer study.. In the hospital another specialist was conscientious enough to admit he was stumped, and this specialist sent the patient to a place where they were better equipped to deal with such cases. In the last hospital the patient was given various tests, x-ray examina tions and what not. As be says "While these doctors were scratch ing their heads and trying to dope It out Nature healed me. All of this was very expensive and a large part of the money was spent In following the advice of doctors who were aim ply trying to anticipate the possibility of tuberculosis or perhaps cancev. However, they have my praise Instead of condemnation, despite the cost." Then the patient goes on to tell the experiences of five other patients In the same hospital. Bach bad gone to a physician early In bis Illness and ritvd received some prescription and the advice to return if the trou ble d'dnt' clear up In a few days. Three of them. Including an athlete, had hemorrhages before their phy sicians recognized the disease, or frankly diagnosed tuberculosis. From his own experience, as well as tbe stories of these other pati ents, the correspondent concludes that a little more carefulness about the examination at the first visit to the physician would Improve the rec ord of the modern treatment of tu berculosis. . There Is some extenuation for the carelessness of the doctor about mak ing a thorough examination the first time the patient comes to his notice. Many patients positively decline to submit to any very complete physical examination then. Others require a good deal of persuading on the part of the doctor to go through with such examination. Perhaps the majority of Communications Paint Poles White. To the Editor: In connection with Mr. Patton's outline of relief work to be done for which federal or state funds are pro vided, and work which can be done In payment for supplies received at the commissary, may we suggest: (1) That the telephone and tele graph poles within the confines of the oltles and towns of Jackson coun ty be painted (not whitewashed) white from the ground to four to six feet up, depending upon the contour of the ground. By concerted ACTION the utility companies might be per suaded to supply the materials. It may be that city oounolls can effect ordinances AT ONCE requiring this work be done; also the county oourt might find it In their power to ex tend the work. It Is a psychological fact that peo ple are INFIjUHNOBD favorably or unfavorably 87 per cent, through the EVES. This would beautify our high ways and streets. AH interested and public-spirited citizens should get BUSY on tills NOW. today, to the end that It may be accomplished. (3) There are many qualified men drawing supplies at the commissary who could, and would gladly, pay for thetr rations by working. Some of the more responsible would be en gaged In checking up on the RIGHT of those being furnished with food. A crriZ-EN. (Name on file.) Med ford, February 22. 4 Bible or Booze By r. A. Oldenburg. Again "To drink or not to drink, that Is the question." Not for a dozen years has tt been so braaenly Insistent as today. After all Is said and done It resolves Itself to the one funda mental Issue: "Bible or boors?" or dered la wand decency or the iither thing. Years ago an ardent advocate of booee realized that fact and plainly said so. The liquor dealers conven tion had met In Sioux City, Iowa. One day one of their most ardent orators held up a Bible In one hand ami a bottle of whiskey In the other ani said: "We shall see which will go farther, a bushel of bibles or a barrel of whiskey.' It Indicated two things: First, ha plainly realized the fundamental Issue: second, there was no doubt In his mind but that whis key would be the easy victor. So the battle line has been ever drawn. Tbe eighteenth amendment was first and foremost a victory for ths Bible forces. another one of those "strange sbould be brief snd written In ink. patients resent the effort of the doc tor when he does try to carry out complete; examination at the first consultation. We need not discuss the reasons for sucb attitude. Suf fice that X testify as an experienced practitioner It is very diflcult to ap ply such conscientious methods in general practice. If, as In tbe majority of cases, the examination falls to disclose anything serious, the doctor has tried to ex aggerate the gravity of the trouble or he has Just run up a big bill.

I work from 8:30 a. m. to 1 p. m. one week and from 1 p.m. to 5 p. m. the next week. I am trying to take a quart of milk a day. The milk Is delivered about 11 a. m. at the place where I work. How can I take a quart a day? Does milk do any harm on an empty stom ach? B. J. A. Answei? No, milk does no harm on empty stomach babies almost always take theirs that way. The best plan Is to take a pint about mid-forenoon and the other pint about mld-aftei-noon. If that Is too much then take a glassful (one-half pint) at a time, and polish off the other pint Just before you hit the hay every night along with a few crackers or a lit tle bread and butter or a cookie or 1 two or a banana. That makes a line bedtime lunch' and favors sleep. (Copyrglht, John F. Dllle Co.) lAte happenings in Washington and st..te legislatures would Indicate a clear victory for booze. Not If the Bible forces are true and steadfast. At once It will be said here and there that the Bible does not con demn drinking. It praises those who totally abstain. Uks the Nazarltes, Numbers 6, etc.. and tbe Rechabltes, Jer. 35, etc.- It warns against Indul gence times without number. But to set up a law that forbids the mer chandising of liquor Is surely beyond the Bible. It may be of interest to make a brief study of why, neverthe less, our present day liquor fight is fundamentally a question of "Bible or booze." ' It should be remembered that the Bible drink was almost exclusively wine, mostly grape,. but other fruits and palm and even cereals were also used. Fermentation was the only process of Its manufacture and It was In every case absolutely pure. Chem istry was almost unknown, high pres sure salesmanship never dreamed of and the type of politics of which booze was the hub. In saloon days. It remained for America to develop. Yet It Is these things which makes booze the enemy of all that is de cent today, and therefore makes it fundamentally the battle of Bible or booze. Just to Jog the memory of those who remember the old saloon days. before the war put the saloon out of business, there was hardly any pure liquor manufactured anywhere In the United States, from cham pagne to "rot gut." The federal gov ernment finally became interested and the evidence of adulteration gather ed against the trade Is Indeed as tounding. Well do we remember a statement of the head of the dis tillers: "When a man buys whiskey or brandy twenty years old or forty years old he buys the taste. If we supply that with chemicals be still gets what he wants." Some of the fusel-oil sold to the poor folks trust hare been the distillations of perdi tion. It seemed to transform men Into beasts. Down south It was freely distributed among the negroes and each year there were hundreds of lynchlngs, nearly all because of rape. It effected the white man In the same way. Those who Insist that young people and all else are worse today better take another whiff ct the dead skunk of pre-war days. Ho the red light districts did flourish. One big reason for the Increased di vorcee of today is the larger spirit of grin and bear It of the days gone ! by. And still today the leopard cannot change his spots. Return the old booze days and the traffic will again befoul everything it touches and the , vastly increased chemical abijtty will I play again Its degrading part. Board of Control Quiz By Senate Has Aspect Of Young Lads Quarrel (Mary Orelner Kelly) SALEM, Feb. 23. (Spl.) A great big boy wltb a round baby face, baby blue eyes, pouting lips and an in variably whine In his voice Ruf us Hoi man. A fat little boy, who wig gles In and out of would-be tight places, and then laughs rowdily In the faces of his pursuers William Elnslg. A well poised lad, w,bo gen erally emerges on top of the bunch that would plri him down, and brushes tbe dust nonchalantly from his shoulders Henry Hansen. There they sat around the board of control table thla morning, Inter rogated In excellently chosen words by "Schoolmaster" Senator Wood ward, about charges the first named boy made against the other two. "I'm Just trying to help the ways and means committee understand the situation," declared R u f u a flushed but righteous. "There has beeen budget padding going on in these other departments." "Well, well, that's very Interesting my boy," said Schoolmaster Wood ward, wiping his glasses prepartory to scanning the budget book. "To what speflcally do you refer,, Mr. Holman?" he asked, turning . the pages. "Look there," said Mr. Holman, pointing bis " Index finger at the statement covering the "budget stat istician" listed In Hanzen's depart ment. "Here he la listed at a 100 a month. And the truth of the matter Is, he's getting 135." Rufus Holman grabbed his glasses off and looked around quickly as though he expect ed an attack from the rear. But Henry Hanzen believes fights are unnecessary, in most cases. He calmly and painstakingly explained that he had been In danger of losing the services of the budget statisti cian and had promised him a raise, subject to the approval of the ways and means committee. The man hadn't as yet received any 100. It was merely set down for the consid eration of the committee making up the new budget. Under the salary scale reduction, the $100 would be reduced to $103 anyway, and, accord ing to the calm-voiced Hansen, this man, who couldn't be replaced, was worth every bit of that. Don't believe that. Don't be de ceived sputtered' the aroused Rufus Holman. And he went ltno a veri table spasm of accusations, compar ing the alleged evils In the other de partments with the absence of thess In his own. After he ft ad given what ha consid ered adequate explanation of the Items under question In his depart ment, Mr. Hanzen quietly left the room. Then the searchlight of scrutiny turned on the rotund Mr. Elnslg, sit-. ting at the end of the table, puffing i a black cigar. Understand, gentlemen," Insisted I Holman, for the seventh or eighth time, there la nothing personal In my accusations, but " He was in terrupted by a boisterous laugh at! the other end .of the table. Elnslg I went into the next room and noisily cleared his throat for the edification of his listeners. He took his time about returning to the room. And when, after school had taken up in both senate and house, and no one had apparently gotten any place around the board of control ta ble, the Investigating committee gathered up its papers to leave. Senator Woodward hummed a lit tle tune, apparently ignoring the continued reiterations of the much CABINET SETTLED, OTHERKEY AIDES Must Choose Multitude Men and Women for Places Before March 4 Far ley Holds Patronage List By Francis M. Stephenson HYDE PARK. N. Y., Feb. 33. (AP) In the seclusion of the family estate on the Hudson river, President-elect Roosevelt is scanning the democratic list for the multitude of men and women he must pick to take over key positions In the government on March 4. He has a long list from James A. Farley, the national chairman who is supervising patronage. Many names are becoming definitely fixed In the lineup. With his cabinet well In mind, ths president -elect undoubtedly is con sulting these officers aa to their im mediate assistants. Some fairly def inite guesses already can be made. Prof. Moley To Place William Phillips, of Massachusetts, appears to be a probable choice for under secretary of state and Professor Raymond Moley, war debts expert, for first assistant secretary of state. in the treasury department, How ard Bruce of Maryland is regarded aa the probable under secretary. Arthur O'Brien of Washington Is In line for an aaslstant secretaryship there. Under Postmaster General Farley, James O'Ma honey of Wyoming and William H. Howea of South Dakota are expected to serve as first slid sec ond assistant respectively. Nary Aides Rumored The names of Vincent Astor of New York and Archibald McNeil of Con necticut are ?srd most prominently for assistant secretaries of the navy. William Kemper of Kansas City is talked about for assistant secretary of war. As right hand men for Henry Wal lace of Iowa in the agriculture de partment, the nam of Frank Mur phy of Minnesota and Henry Morgen- thau, Jr., of New York stand out In the discussion. Daniel J. Too la of Indianapolis la .Injured Mr. Holman. Finally, ne ' - - .sb.ts.fin ttrtomr UUUss. S WU), BVUUIBOMV - tbet complaining gentleman. "Pufus, Rufus, you're a lot like myself. I understand you perfectly," be said, good naturedly. "I'm complimented," returned Mr. Holman, not knowing whether be should be or not. "Your'a perfectly honest " "Thanks," said Mr. Holman again. "But you're impatient. You must learn patience, my boy. Otherwise, you're simply heaping trouble upon your very splendid self." And leaving a flushed and apparently bewildered Rufus behind, "Schoolmaster" Wood ward, stroked bis Van Dyke beard, and bummed another tune as he strode majestically down the hall. Representative Hilton of Portland, who la sometimes accused of being radical, gave a helpful bint to bis law passing colleagues during a de bate In. the bouse yesterday. "When In doubt, always vote no," be said, Tbe elongated clerk's desk, Just be low the rostrum of the house, could well serve as a prompter's pit. What's more. It often does. It la acousti cally Impossible to hear what passes between these workers and the speaker. Wbat's more, Chief Clerk Drager Is well qualified as prompter in which capacity he frequently serves. This is especially true when inexperienced substitute speaker's are callled to the stand. Serving at the same stand, first aa assistant clerk from 1803 to 1909 and chief clerk ever since, there are no tricks of procedure he doesn't know. He can pass along both cues and lines without visibly moving a muscle of his face. And he doesnt have to bold a script to do It either, Mr. and Mrs. John Carkin have played .host the past two Sundays to the legislators and their wives from Jackson, Josepbtne and Douglas counties. This, taking In a lot of territory as well aa population, neces sitated dividing the crowd Into two separate groups. The praise eminat- ing from both after the two dinners were over, took on a competitive note. Mr. and Mrs. Carkin may have to give a third or rubber dinner to set tle the question of which group was treated best.

"And you haven't passed one of them to the committee yet," sighed Jay. The Junior member of the Jackson county delegation tried his wings In the speaker's chair this afternoon. He did very well, some said. Representative Harvey Wells, broth' er of Medford's Cat Wells, became a proud grandfather this morning, hav ing explained bis absence from the forenoon session by wire from Fort land. He arrived blushing and smiling at noon, and by four o'clock recovered composure enough to make a nice little speech and present tbe house with cigars and candy. believed in line for assistant to Miss Frances Perkins, the Roosevelt choice for secretary of labor.
