Prloai imm prMJ bee, Mftaj (, Fehl's Challenge Is Accepted A FEW day ago in reply to an inquiry, as to whether or not this constant internal dissension and strife could not cease, and Jackson county be returned to normal peace and harmony, the Mail Tribune replied : "No one would welcome an end to "bickering and cater wauling' more heartily than the Mall Tribune. But unfortu nately whether It 1 to stop or continue, doe not rest with thl publication . . . but with those who hope through contin ual dissension and disorder, to feather their own nests and literally establish a dictatorship ... If they abandon those effort it will be peace tomorrow. If they don't It will be war war of their own obooslng and war to the finish." Through his own publication, ' the "Record-Herald", and through his own public utterances, County Judge Fehl removes all doubt as to where he stands. He intends to continue this internal dissension, this defiance of the courts and all constitut ed authority, until to use his own vigorous phrase "Hell freezes over." . THROUGH his OWN publication, a call is issued for a mass rlftnmnnt.rfltinn f t.h yinnrf hoiiu Mnndnv in n v n f a t. AGAINST any organization using the auditorium without writ ten permission of the county court. What does this meant It who calls for a public demonstration, against a legal action of the court over which he himself presides. Two members of the court signed this order. These .two members in a court of three, represent CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY. Their action is the LAW I IN other words, County Judge Fehl calls on the members of the Good Government congress, of which he is a member, to defy constituted authority, to seek the nullification of a law Mb own court has handed down the precise sort of thing that has led to this deplorable and dangerous situation, and must stop, be fore any return to normal peace N the same editorial the Mail If attacks upon our court, ment ... are to be called off . . . then this "bickering" will disappear. If they aren't It won't. Since then WHAT lias County Judge Fehl done t ' Out on bail himself charged with complicity in the pillaging of the court house and the destruction of ballot boxes, he has tried to use his, official position to secure the release of four other defendants in this case, ities to REVEAL the evidenco There is only one term for this, "the wilful obstruction of justice." What happened thenf District Attorney Codding asked for an extension of time. Judge Fehl denied it. Codding then returned with affidavits of prejudice against Fehl, based upon the fact that the judge himself was an interested party in the case. This likewise was denied. 11THAT next J The district attorney asked for an appeal. THIS was denied. So the district attorney did the only thing under the law he could do. He appealed to a higher court, in this case the circuit court, and Judge Duncan of Klam ath Falls presiding there, signed a restraining order, directing that County Judge Fehl certify to the stnte court all matters pertaining to the write of habeas corpus proceedings and "desist and refrain from tnking any further action in said eriminal action." County Clerk Carter, in the regular line of his duty, served the restraining order, Judgo Fehl. refused to accept service, another absolute dofiance .of constituted authority, following this up with the following direct challenge to Judge Duncan : "I have Just a muoh right to order him a he has to order m. Let him Issue one more order like that and I'll sign one against him." As if this were not enough, County Judge Fehl; as a defen dant in a case, involving burglary and destruction of ballot boxes, announces: "I am carrying thl fight to the people. Tonight and every night from now on I am going out Into the county to apeak at school houses and to meetings. The people are going to settle this thing, and It's going to be done peaceable and not with gun and ropes." That abandonment of the so-called Good Government con gress Bppeal to "GUNS AND ROPES" is a relief, but what docs this declaration REALLY meant It means that as a defendant in a criminal action, the county judge of this oounty, is going to try his own oase in hii own newspaper, going to abandon the courts, where his case and all criminal cases must be settled, if any orderly government is to be maintained for the political stump, whore by more inflam matory spoeahes, mere appeals to passions and hatreds, more malioioui and slanderous harangues he undoubtedly hopes to render the attainment of impartial and even handed justice in Jackson oounty IMPOSSIBLE 1 is m the COURTS, and of all publio officials in our government, a JUDGE should know and should insist upon it. But NOT Judge Fehl I TTHERE YOU HAVE IT, citizens of Jackson county, the same challenge to law and order, the hhiiic challenge to orderly government, the same brazen defiance to all constituted authority, that has been going on here for so long a time which culminated in the pillaging of the court house, and which all right thinking citizens, with the suspension of the morning paper under the direction of L. A. Banks, HOIMSD WOULD CEASE. But our county judge declares, as long as he remains in office, it will not cease, he will continue to foment, to agitate, to incite until "Ilell freezes over."

Many philosophers, ancient and modern, have made what sophomo rons call wisecracks concerning the Influence of diet on health and longer lty. At first Impact aome of these sage sayings seem lm presslve. but eventually some how one classi fies them under the heading of poetry rather than truth. Dr. Osier himself got off a few of these wisecracks and used effectively In his famous "doctors' Bible" quotations of others from ancient classics. Dr. Osier died before the dawn of the science of nutrition. We must keep that fact In mind, while we consider his teaching, for he was the greatest medical teacher we have ever had. Speaking of the causation of chronic Brlght's disease (chronic ne phritis, chronle Inflammation of the kidneys), which Is. generally asso ciated with arteriosclerosis (harden ing of the arteries) and myocarditis (slow heart muscle Impairment), Os ier said: "Alcohol plays an Important part, particularly In conjunction with other factors. Among the better classes In America chronic Brlght's disease Is very common, and Is, I believe, caused more fre- quently by overeating than by ex cess in alcohol." Speaking of the treatment of chronic Brlght's disease. Dr. Osier said: "Alcohol should be strictly pro hibited. Tea andVcoffee are al lowable. The diet should be light and nourishing (sic), and the pa tient should be warned not to , eat excessively, and not to take meat more than once a day. Tile patient should keep the urinary secretion free by drinking dally a definite amount of either distilled or some pleasant mineral water. Somewhere else In his writings (I cannot find It at the moment) Osier quotes some old master to the ef fect that the platter kills more than the sword. That advice that the diet should be light and nourishing la like advising that drinking water should be clear and wet, or that the patient must have good ventilation but no drafts or that we should have plenty of fresh air but avoid exposure. To day, If any physician prescribes re-1 at rtctlon of your diet to things which are nourishing but easily digested he is Just stringing you along, and that's all there is about It. In Sir William's day the doctors really Imagined sick-room pap was "easily digested." We know better now. Overeating, that Is, consuming a greater quantity of food than is re quired for growth, repair and main tenance of body weight within nor DELAY TRIAL OF Inasmuch as Governor Julius X,. Meier ha declared Monday (tomor row), Marah 6, a bank holiday, and therefore a non-Judlolal dny, the trial of Mrs. Henrietta B. Martin, president of the so-called "Good Government league," and her father 0. H. Martin, and L. O. Van Wegen and L. E. Pitch, charged with "dis turbing the peace and riotous con duct," will be postponed. Justice of the Peace William R. Coleman, said Saturday afternoon i this would b the course followed. The case wa first called last Fri day, and continued then on account of the bank moratorium. The hearing will be before a Jus tice court Jury of sir. Mrs. Martin and three co-defendant were arrested a an outgrowth of the attempt of Mrs. Martin to lash Leonard Hall, editor of the Jacksonville Miner, with a buggy whip a week ago. because of excep tions to an article printed in the weekly. , Jenkins Comment (Continued from Page One) the Impressive structure of modern business possible, has been proved by thousands of years of experience, that In normal times ALL the d' :rltor dont want their money at the same time. When that happens, trouble occurs. It always has, and It always will. The institution of banking, with all Its tremendous usefulness, just simply cant exist when all the depositors demand all their money at the same time. r' 18 to prevent, or at least greatly minimize, the dlsastroers that oc cur when all the depositors want all thtlr money at the same time that these bank hoi id ays in the various states hare been declared, and the same purpoee la back et new laws re stricting the withdrawal of deposits under certain circumstances.

Not that we eat more, but mainly because we walk leas. .She who walks may eat and still keep her youthful figure. Often I wonder how great a part of this dreadful com pression is due to too many cars per family. Dr. Osier arbitrarily restricts the patient to one meat meal dally. In bis day the doctors really Imagined meat, especially dark or red meat, was in some vague way a greater strain on metabolism, on the arteries, on the kidneys, than Is other food. We know better now. True It is generally easier to overeat in the de lectable carbohydrates, the breads, cakes, sweets, candles, etc., but calory for calory or nutritive value for nu trltlve value, so far as we know It doesn't matter whether - one eats meat once a week or three times day, so long as there Is a fair variety or items in tne diet every oay. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Pathogenic Practice Is It harmful to put a quarter of a teaspoon ful of bicarbonate of soda In every cereal or vegetable dish taken by a 3 year old child to prevent sour stomach and vomiting which had happened previously doctors call It neurotic vomiting. (Mrs. J. P. W.) Answer. It Is harmful. The atom ach contents should be sour and acid when food la digesting. If vomiting happens or Is Induced from any cause It Is natural that the chyme should appear sour and acid. In any case where an alkali Is to be used to neutralize excessive acid In the stom ach, it Is better to take prepared chalk (calcium carbonate), a dose of 10 grains being sufficient to neutral ize excessive stomach acidity for few hours. Such a dose may be taken two or three times a day If necessary, and It does not disturb the acid-base balance In the blood and tissues as does bicarbonate of soda. If the child's vomiting la habitual or neu rotic medicine Is scarcely the right treatment. The Appendix 1. Does the appendix function In the human body? 2.

WILKINSON INS IN SUIT GROWING OUT OF A circuit court Jury Friday after noon returned a verdict for Mrs. Delia P. Wilkinson, defendant In a $10,000 damage action brought by Manilla Burdell. The verdict will not be officially filed until Monday, or when the non-Judlclal holiday pe riod Is concluded. The Jury delibe rated about three hours. The action was based upon a nei ghborhood quarrel last May, over a fence, and a torn sheet, plus ill feeling that had prevailed for aome time. The trial lasted three days. Mrs. Burdell contended that the fence was erected on her property In. spite, and that a breeze blew her washing sgnlnst a nail, on one of the posts. It was then asserted that she procured the family axe, and proceeded to endeavor to chop down the post, and the fence. Mrs. Wilkinson alleged that she asked Mrs. Burdell to desist, where upon she attacked her with the axe. The defendant contended that she "acted In self-defense and repelled force with force." Mrs. Burdell alleged In her testi mony that as the result of the en counter, she sustained grave Injury. She further charged that during the course of the battle. Mrs. Wilkinson, while administering the alleged beat ing, cried: "Bite the dust. Manilla, bite the dustr THREE ARRESTED FOR Malcolm M. Baucher of Tacoma, Wash a salesman was arrested Sat urday morning, charged with reck lr driving on the Pacific highway. Baucher 1 alleged to have attempted to p another car on a curve while traveling between 88 and 60 mile per hour and to have atruck a state police auto. Kay Takao of Central Point wa arrested for operating a motor car with one headlight, and Ray J. Schumacher of the Talent district was Arrested for operating with no hiadllirht. TRUE FACTS ON COUNTY RELIEF ARE EXPLAINED That the often published statement that expenses of county relief have been reduced from 93000 per week, before January 1 to approximately 800 per week since then, Is mislead ing, and falls to show the true facts, was the statement of Victor Teng wald, made to a representative of The Mali Tribune . yesterday. Mr. Tengwald handled county relief work under the former county court. "It has been stated," said Mr. Tengwald, "that the sum of 96700 had been spent to carry on the relief pro gram of Jackson county from Janu ary 1 to March 1, 1033; and that 95000 worth of promissory notes bad been taken in exchange for relief granted. It can be readily seen that the sum of 96700 represents the amount spent to operate the county commissary, and not to carry on the relief pro gram, generally speaking, but on the contrary, only a small part of the re lief program. "The sum of 96700 does not Include any warranto paid for work on any county projects, and In fact., repre sents no labor taken In exchange for relief granted, except commissary employees. In other words, the fig ure of $6700 represents the amount of money spent by the county since January 1 to March 1. 1933, to PUR CHASE GROCERIES from wholesale dealers, and NOTHING ELSE, for di rect dole distribution through the county commissary. "Further statements indicate that prior to January 1, 1033, approxi mately $3000 per week was spent by the county to carry on Its relief pro gram. This is correct to this extent, that is: That- said sum. was spent by the county for WORK relief on county projects, such as county road maintenance. In the nature of emer gency employment during the months of November and December, 1033; rep resenting a direct payment in Indi vidual warranta whlch were negotiable to over 3000 investigated heads of families; all legal residents of this county, who received a week's work on the county roads at the scale of 93.40 per day. "If these men, or others, received any commissary assistance or advance the market value gf the groceries ad vanced was deducted from their war rant, and credit In the form of labor received credited to the commissary revolving fund, thereby placing the county commissary, as near as pos sible so to do, on a self-supporting basis. "Only about 700 orders or requisi tions on the commissary were issued during the months of November and December, said orders averaging ap proximately 91.50 each, or a total of about $1000 for that two-month pe riod, the worst period of any year. "Therefore, it can readily be seen that the amount of 96700 represents an Increase of approximately 95700 In cost of operation of the county commissary for January and February. In comparison with the months of November and December. "Therefore, it follows, that approxl- , mutely 920.000, representing cash paid to over 2000 heads of families, during the months of November and Decem ber, for work on the county roads, was put Into "direct Immediate cir culation among the merchants, citi zens, taxpayers and business men of Jackson county. 'The 95000 In nromlesory notes overloads an already overloaded la bor supply, and doubles or triples the total labor on the market, as against figures of January 1, 1033. The fami lies represented by these notes are still In Immediate need, and even If they were to work out their notes, they must make provision for their families AT THIS TIME, and it la obvious that groceries obtained In the past, for wrllch a note was given, will not solve their problem at this time. "It can readily be seen that when work starts, payment must be made to them Immediately to meet their present needs, and that notes are not labor. We have too much labor now. as we have had In the past three years, and although the holders of the notes are the same heads of fami lies that make up tbe total number of unemployed, yet the overloaded labor market has been again over loaded by notes given In the past; and makes the problem of solving the present emergency much more difficult. "It Is practically Impossible, In a county covering as great an area as this county, to contact holders of these notes, and doubly difficult to force them to work for something they have gotten In the past, when their present circumstances are des perate and acute. "In conclusion, the subjects 'Emergency Employment and 'Dole' are widely divergent, and what is spent for the operation of emergency employment arrangements, can hardly be compared with the money spent to operate a dole. One Is a relief program in Its broadest sense, while the other Is merely an aggravation of already acute conditions." AGAIN DEMANDS FEHLJTEP OUT (Continued tna rage One) election, when we were aroused to action to abandon our usual primary policy of remaining silent, and (here we quote again) "not with a desire to tell the voter how to cast their ballots, but merely to warn them against making an error which would prove o costly, we believe, to Jack son county." The Dally Tiding had the satis faction, of knowing that from Talent to the California line Mr. Fehl re ceived a decidedly small vote In the primary election, but moot unfortu nately for Jackson county, the "split" Republican vote, with five candidates In the field, resulted In Mr. Fehl win ning the nomination. The Dally Tidings did not support Mr. Fehl In the general election It wa our hope that aome candidate would be put Into the field who would not be factional and who could rally around him all the right-thinking citizen of Jackson county. Un fortunately, with the general elec tion vote split four ways. Mr. Fehl again won this time by a substan tial plurality. Then, In a desire to see that every regutarly elected official be given public support until euch time a he proved himself unworthy of that sup port, the Dally Tiding urged that Mr. Fehl be given an opportunity to either discredit himself or prove that he was efficient and capable of hold ing the position of trust which had been entrusted him by voters of Jack son county. Once Mr. Fehl wa elect ed. It was our sincere hope that our former views would prove untrue; it wa our hope that the man who, In his newspaper condoned the cold blooded murder of an Ashland police officer, would, In the discharge of hi duties to Jackson county, prove himself made of something finer than wa Indicated In his criticism, aimed toward the tearing down of already established government. Event of the last two month have proved these hope In vain. Mr. Fehl faced a marvelou opportunity to make good, to be of service to his county and to hi fellowmen. How ever, his first move threw the county Into a turmoil. On the day he was Inducted Into office, he took the reins of Justice Into hi own hands and decided that a legally appointed county commissioner COULD NOT serve on the county court, splitting the court wide open, Instead of wait ing for the duly qualified courts to pass Judgment on thl controversial Issue. Thl wa only the tarter of other brazen, Impudent, grandstanding and unjustified Bet. Individually or In association with L. A. Banks, then publisher of a Medford paper and other, which fanned the unrest of thl county to a point where it re cently flamed. Judge Fehl openly associated himself with those who were waving the flag -of defiance to regularly constituted government with egotistic and unveiled threat of ter rorism. Many respectable, ordlnarly law abiding citizens have placed him and some of his associate on pedestals. They visualize halos of martyrdom about their leaders. The county has been on the verge of revolution, with open defiance of officers and the law. Then the most Incredulous and most unexpected climax came with such suddenness that the whole county was dazed the very court house Itself was broken Into and one of the most sacred manifestations of government was defiled and dragged Into the muck the- voice of the peo ple was really stilled when the eacred ness of the ballot was defiled through theft. Regardless of who may be responsi ble for the actual theft of the ballots, there seems no doubt but that that crime was the outgrowth of the un rest which had been deliberately fanned to flaming point, and the ap parent Indifference of Mr. Fehl to do anything to aid In bringing the perpetrators to Jutlc. Forgetting the serious charge which has been filed against Mr. Fehl, that of being Implicated In the ballot theft, we atlll believe that his conduct In office ha disqualified htm to serve Jackson county at least until such time aa he learns the necessity of co-operation with hla fellow public officials, each a legally qualified as Mr. Fehl. Revealing an Inability to do this, Mr. Fehl should not betray the tniBt placed In him. but should GET OUT AND 8TAY OUT UNTIL HE 18 READY TO CO-OPERATE WITH OTHERS IN ADMINISTERING THE AFFAIRS OF JACKSON COUNTY. The Dally Tidings ha insisted that no "coalition" be formed against Judge Fehl by the two commissioners and we do not think there ha been any such coalition. They would be no more Justified In voting opposi tion to Mr. Fehl because they were not In sympathy with him person ally, than would Mr. Fehl be Justified In disregarding advice and wishes of the commissioners. Mr. Fehl has no Justification for resorting to childish tactics and Insulting his fellow of ficials because they do not agree with him. Unfortunately, our warning of last May was not groundless In Its In ception. The election of Fehl hns proved a costly and unfortunate ex perience to Jackson county. If there remains In Mr. Fehl one spark of responsibility toward the citizens of Jftckson county, he will step out of publlo office without de lay and remain out' until such time as he ha been cleared of the charges which now hang over him. or until such time as he can overcome his belligerent and venomous antagon ism for other public officials. There's really nothing herolo about the self made mertvr his halo of martyrdom fall to hide the selfishness of his purpose. Jackson county Is In a sorry plight because there have been those who possessed leadership who have used It to destroy rather than build. Should Earl H. Fehl see his way clear to resign and bring again to Jackson county the peace and tran quility and belief In humanity which once existed here, there would be displayed a eplrlt of unselfishness which would compel admiration In stead of contempt, such aa self-Inflicted martyrdom Inspire.

To the Editor: X want to make a statement con cerning horses that my riders brought down to Medford.
