Trial By Newspaper "We will now try the case of the old News Publishing Company against the Medfonl News, The People of Jackson county." Medford Dally News. THIS is a very extraordinary statement. The editor of the Morlfni-d Han nit nnh A Tlllf ITC! V ! ease in his OWN newspaper, but maintains, that in so doing he is also representing the people of Jackson County. "Now In the names of all the gods at once . Upon what meat doth this our Gaesar feed I" He not only claims the right to try his OWN case act as judge, jury and attorney in his OWN newspaper; but he calmly proclaims that In doing so, he in some mysterious way represents the people of Jackson County.

F they DO, then we might as well abandon all idea of a free democratic government at once, save time and worry, and hand over everything we possess, relinquish all the rights our forefather gained- from the Magna Charta, through the Dec laration of Independence, to the Constitution of the . United States, and submit to an absolute dictatorship of one news paper and its editor, FOREVER 1 For obviously if it is RIGHT, for one defendant to be j'udge and jury in his own case, then it is right for ALL defendants, If it is RIGHT for one newspaper editor to try an action against himself, in the columns of that newspaper, then it is RIGHT for ALL newspaper editors.

If the .person or persons guilty of tnis crime VAN BJS FOUND and brought to justice, no one will welcome such action more whole heartedly than the Mail Tribune. ' TPHIS paper doesn't care what the case is. If a crime has been committed, let's get to the bottom of it, and punish those responsible just as soon as guilt can be legally estab lished. ; But for the sake of all that's sane and decent- let's STOP trying these cases, or any other cases, in the newspapers. That's not a newspaper's job. It's the job of our public officials, our police, our courts, and our juries. Get behind them. Support them in the proper perform ance of their duties, run down the guilty, protect the innocent, in short maintain this FREE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT OF OURS, as it was handed down to us, and as we trust it will endure- long after we are gone I P.

Do we NEED to elaborate upon this theme, to show the people of Jackson County, what the acceptance of such a prut oiple would lead to not ONLY the complete breakdown of all law and order, but the destruction of all government ; not ONLY the wiping out of everything known as civilization, but a struggle to the death, between armed men ; with either score at i0 to 11, Many -3n re member . when the population was silly, and regarded these contests as j grounds for revolution ana unre. strlcted hell-ralslng.

If anyone haa any new evidence which will throw any new light on this case, bring the guilty party or parties to justice, THEN NO ONE WILL WELCOME SUCH ACTION, MORS WHOLE HEARTEDLY THAN THE MAIL TRIBUNE. It U the duty of those who claim they have such evidence to present It at or.oe to the proper authorities so this case may be cleared up once M for all.' Only yesterday a prominent member of the Good Govern ment Congress visited this office. and declared the Dahack case, was evidence of the breakdown of law and ordor in this community, and he had evidence to prove it. The reply of the writer was "THEN GO BEFORE THE GRAND JURY, NOW IN SESSION AND GIVE THAT EVI DENCE. If you can clear this case up, bring about the con victioti of the guilty party or parties, you will have rendered a genuine public service. We believe NO ONE would more gladly place the slayer of Dahack behind the bars, than Dis trict Attorney Codding himself." ! The reply was "I have already appeared before the grand jury? and presented my evidence." j PINE! j ' 1 Now if there is new evidence on this case, which will allow the PRESENT grand jury to do what the other grand juries failed to do; will allow LUrict Attorney Codding to secure an indictment where a Special Prosecutor appointed by Governor Meier FAILED, then all good citizens should rejoice. For this case has been a thorn in the flesh of the body politic LONG ENOUGH, and the sooner it is cleared up once and for all the better for all concerned. AS to the liquor disappearance case, on which this paper is also accused of saying "nothing," if our correspondent will again consult the files he will find this disappearance Every onr should know that an In halator Is nothing but an Inflatable bag with a mask to fit over nose and mouth, so that, the patient may re ceive the oxygen pure, or mixed with five to ten per oent carbon dioxide. by natural breathing or by artificial reap 1 rat ton performed In the ordinary way prone - pressure. Every one should discount all reports by un initiated observers who Imagine the D THAT POSE Inhalator outfit (tanks and masks and tubes and gauge) Is some kind of machine for pumping air or gas Into the lungs. I suspect the reason why these firemen, policemen or utility service crews are permitted to stage their spectacular races to the bedside Is that the physicians In the case are Incompetent and poorly trained and hence haven't the moral courage to old the comedy hero squad to run along and play with their little go cart somewhere else. Another rea son no doubt Is that while the fake heroes have their mans published there la always a chance that the name of the doctor "In the case may be mentioned, and that's something.

Dear persons spend for tunes on fake health devices, finger surgery and the like, only to find themselves no better off or worse off.

In many cases deaf persons find a great deal of happiness and a different outlook on life when they take up Up reading. Answer. All good common sense. and I advise our deaf friends to get In touch with the national or local office of the federation and find out how to learn Up reading. Bad Mealclne Please advise whether ettg-noKft taken every evening with some rye whisky Is harmful for me. I use about three-fourths of an ounce of whisky to each egg-nogg. (J. B. M.) Ans. rne combination of egg, milk and sugar beaten In whisky Is far less digestible than milk or egg alone, and In some cases It Is rather likely to nauseate. Whether you need any nutriment at bedtime I have no wav of surmising, but I- can assure you the whisky can do no good. . Teeth Mixed Up Some time ago my daughter. 5, went to the doctor. He noticed her three new second teeth were pointed or peg-shaped at the top. Ha said that la a sign of some blood disease. (Mrs. L. J. T.) Ans. The second or permanent teeth are not cut till the child Is 7 or 8 years old, as a rule. Irregular ity of form of the primary or milk teeth may be from rickets or faulty nutrition in inrancy. The peg-shap ed or pointed Incisors (permanent teeth) may Indicate congenital syph ilis, but that Is by no means the only explanation for auoh faulty teem. Reports of phllantrophlc activities of member groups were made at the monthly luncheon of the Allied Wel fare association Friday at the Med ford hotel, presided over by John Mann, president. Mrs. William Kletzer, of Portland, member of the board or directors of the council of social agencies, which is the planning committee of the community cheat, told about the methods followed for caring for the needy, with classifications carefully worked out to expedite relief and avoid duplications.

Mrs. Lillian Roberts of the local Red Cross enumerated articles given out during the month of January in cluding 635 garments, 08 pairs of shoes and 24 pairs of rubbers. Nine hundred and fifty families were given flour. The February report shows re lief extended through cooperation with the county court with 1210.36 spent for 116 pairs of shoes for the county's needy. There were 844 gar ments given out to 104 people. These were from the Red Cross material pro duction. Some of those receiving aid gave labor In exchange. - From 140 to 180 sacks of flour have been given out dally. At present the supply Is exhausted but more will be available soon, a carload lasting only two weeks. Miss Mildred Carlton, president of the Jackson County public health as sociation, told about plans for bring lng Mrs. Sadie Orr-Dunbar, of Port land, executive secretary for Oregon, to address the Jackson County or ganization In April, at the home of Mlas Carlton, on the Old stage road.

' the day it was announced, lie will find a score of references To the Editor: Prompted by a desire to learn the truth a large gathering afeembled at the Watklns school house the eve ning of Feb. 33. Practically every in habitant of the upper Applegate was present with the exception of a few who were so fed up on the vitamin I that they thot they hod no room for new Ideas. Mrs. Martin and associates of the Good Government had promised to speak. Opposing factions had been no as It was desired to hear both sides of many questions which pus ale us. When the promised speakers of the evening failed to appear the resource ful patriots entertained thru?;'M with an Impromptu program o mu sic and readings. Worthy of spec 11 mention were piano selections by Mrs. Prank Dawson, sereral numbers play ed on the harmonica by Jack Daley, two cowboy songs by "Slim" Crowell. two duets In Spanish by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Siple, vloUa selections by Hes ter Knutxen, and an especially well received recitation by Knox McCoy, reminiscent of old time school days. A solo in Chinese, by Frank CoUlngs would have been very fine had it not been quite so low. In fact so much local talent was unearthed that a movement Is on foot to give a strict ly hand-forged program at a date soon to be announced. Near midnight the gathering re luctantly dispersed after unanimous ly passing the following resolutions. Be It Resolved, the county turmoil Is caused by a bunch of crooks who are hurling acquisitions of fraud nt each other while their hands are shoved deep In the taxpayers pockets. Resolved, that the wives of the tax payers cut out and securely sew up their pockets which have only one good use left anyway, viz. to carry the Jack knife and it Is believed with a little practice this said Implement can be carried over the ear like the pencil of the old style grocery clerks. Be It Further Resolved, that this aforementioned Upper Big Applegate community where peace and hannonv reign has some citizens who are will ing to shoulder the disgrace of be ing the first to get back between the plow handles. Resolved, that copies of this docu ment be malted to the local papers for publication. And Be It Finally Resolved, that ! hereafter the monkey-shines of the LASHES EDITOR FACE WITH WHIP (Continue: uoni page One) because of an article published In the last issue of the Miner. She declared "It la the only way a lady can defend herself." Tip Heard on Street. For an hour before the assault by Mrs. Martin, It was bruited about the business district that It waa planned. A small crowd. Including a number of known Good Government Congress sympathisers, gathered on both sides of the street In anticipation of the excitement. Many regarded It as "Just another rumor.' It proved otherwise a few seconds after Hall left the newspaper office. The entire Incident lasted less than a minute. Before a crowd could gather state police and city police started keeping the fast-gathering throng moving. Under the direction of Lieut. Alex ander Dunn, groups were dispersed Good Government Cohorts Row There were several hot exchanges of words between the authorities, and one or two of the more hot-headed men, described as "Good Government followers." As soon as the main par ticipants were hustled away, the ex citement palled. Last night the streets were crowded with people, many gathering around A new flow of credit for the benefit of home-owners, to be used for re pairs, remodeling, new construction' and payment of taxes and similar Hens, will soon be released In Oregon through the medium of the federal home loan bank system, being dis tributed in yarlous communities by savings, Duiiamg ana loan associa tions and other member institutions eligible to Join. It should make pos sible the lending of approximately $1,000,000 In this state at a near date. and Medford should be one of the first communities to feel Its bene ficial effects. Such Is the declaration of Hamil ton Patton, secretary of the Southern Building and Loan association of Medford, who has Just returned to this city from Portland, where he met with many other home -financing ex ecutives at a conference where Frank lin W. Fort, chairman of the home loan bank board of Washington, D. C, detailed the workings of the federal system, which has been set up to aid In business rehabilitation through loans to member Institutions, made possible by the pledging of securities, purchasing of stock In the new bank and the borrowing of funds with which to begin their normal function In communities by relendlng to Indi viduals. "At least 75 per cent of all homes stand In need of repairs or remodel ing, and taxes are delinquent on many pieces of real property, so that when this new money Is made available, It Is certain to be of great help In com munities served by savings, building and loan associations or other home financing Institutions which may be come members," said Mr. Patton. "By placing this new money with respon sible, home-loving people, employ ment will be Increased, funds will be expended for supplies of various kinds necessary to the Improvements, thereby stimulating business in many Industries. In many places taxes are behind In payment and the home loan board will permit the use of some of the money for payment of these. This will be of much benefit to public affairs, as the non-payment of taxes has become a very discon certing feature throughout the country." Mr. Patton explained that legisla tion necessary to authorize savings, building and loan associations In Ore gon to Join the new federal system and to participate In Its services Is being considered by the legislature and Is now about completed. With in a reasonable time thereafter, Mr. Patton said, It should be possible for member Institutions to begin making loans. f Flight 'o Time (Medford and Jackson Count j Hlstorj from the Plies of Toe Mali Tribune of 20 and 10 fears AfO.)

To the Editor: Regarding questions put to me re cently I will say I am proud to re ply we have had no so-called "Good Government" meetings In our district and hope there never will be. Yet, on the other hand, I am very eorrv to say, there are a few followers and a few more sympathizers In this dis trict. It Is for this reason I am writ ing a plea to my friends and the citi zens of this community to leave thla thing alone. It cannot possibly help you or gain you any benefit and may cause you to lose much. In fact. I know where It has already hurt some of you, not only In preventing you from getting positions, but also low ering you In the estimation of stable minded people. You all know X am loyal to my community, for I have come before. the publlo several times In spite of ridicule and censure to plead your cause, because I thought It was Just and right and for your own welfare. It la for your own welfare now that ask you to get other Information. other than the Dally News for your Lniormation. That paper Is only the mouthpiece of a man attempting to gain your support In his efforts to beat his honest debts. Consider this. citizens, from your own angle. How would you feel after working for a man for weeks, months or years with out pay, to have your own friends snd neighbors turn you down be- cause, for the sske of your family, you sought help In collecting what wss Justly due you. Or suppose you sold your property to this man, giving him full posses sion, with small down payment and then failed to get anything more, while he collected every cent of In come the property produced, leav ing you without home or means of Income? Sometimes I think you have at last got your eyes open to the truth and I go to bed sleeping half through the night, only to find by the morning that Mr. Blank Is one of the O. O. followers. It hurts like a stab a man whose religion alone I thought could keep him from following any- tning so lar removed from God. I am loyal to my community. county, state and United States and I hope the day will soon come when I can truthfully say there Is not a disloyal citizen In Sams Valley and If every community leader can say this we will again be back to the normal good tlmea we used to know In Jackson county.
