Trial By Newspaper
"We will now try the case of the old News Publishing Company
against the Medfonl News, The People of Jackson county."

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.
THERE are over 32,000 people in Jackson County; over

Medford News not only represents itself but represents
THEMT
Do they also agree, that this case, The Old News Publishing
Company vs. the Medford News, should NOT be tried in open
oourt, under the rules of established legal court procedure,
but SHOULD be tried by an interested party in that case,
the defendant in the columns of his OWN newspaper!
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.

Anyone with evidence on this ease, should go before the
grand j'ury and present it. If the system of records renders
the tracing of liquor difficult, then let that system be IM
MEDIATELY changed. 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. S. The above was written early Saturday morning. Sat
urday afternoon the grand jury returned an indictment in the
Dahack case. The editorial above thus becomes even more per
tinent and timely than the writer ever suspected it would be.
Now this case CAN BE CLEARED UP, ONCE AND FOR ALL!

have often said, what we repeat now:
The Dahack com has been examined by a coroners Jury, two
grand Juries, by a special proeeoutor and a special grand Jury, but
to date none has been able to secure sufficient evidence against
the man responsible for Da hack's death to secure an Indictment.
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

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.

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

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

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

only explanation for auoh faulty

Prompted by a desire to learn the

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

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

Near midnight the gathering re
luctantly dispersed after unanimous
ly passing the following resolutions.

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

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.

There were several hot exchanges

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.

Government" meetings In our district

on the other hand, I am very eorrv
to say, there are a few followers and
a few more sympathizers In this dis

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.
