LETTER TO THE GOVEBNOB Dear Governor: Ai everybody la playing ping-pong, plowing, working Jigsaw puzzles, rals lng bell, fretting about the depres sion, and so forth and so on, I guoss I will write you a letter. Last week tbe wind was In the east, and my catarrh came back. I was going to call your ' attention at the time to this damnable outrage, but I bad mislaid my dastardly lountaln pen. I am entirely surrounded by criminals. I started on a shoe-string. I now stand stripped of my original capital, and my pants. I bave been standing on tbe burn ing deck, fighting the people's fight, and am about out of wind, etc., eto., etc., etc. Truth has been crushed to earth. Nothing of the kind. It was me. Investigate this, or there will be rebellion, revolution, riot. Us great men bave got to hang together. In answer to my 848,878th letter you ask for the facts. I can not do this. The gang has stole all the facts. Excuse me, It is time again to shake Jackson county to Its foundation. . .1 now resume my letter-writing. I sometimes think I am losing my grip as a foundation shaker. Governor, there Is this much about It. You answer this letter or I will write bne to myself and sign your name to it. Then what will the voters say, It anything. I am not going to waste any more stamps writ ing to you. They coat 80. This is tax on the poor. The rich get off by telephoning long dlstanoe at Boo per minute. Tbe 7o differential Is burden on the shoulders of the hayhanda next August. X am glad to see the American peo ple rallying to rout the panic. Let tbe Eagle scream again I am tired. If you do not reply to this letter, never again will I Insult your Intelli gence. , Your old friend, JEHOVAH AND OO. F. 8.t Come down and see me some ttme. ORDER WILL BE MAIN TAINED. m m, m - "ONCB TO EVERT MAN" (LaGrande Observer) Enterprise Mortician and valley Resident Unable To Avoid Each Other, t Tbe Jigsaw puszle erase continues to rage locally. Several of the In curable Jlgsawlsts have contraptions Tor rolling their own Jigsaws, and are constantly befuddled and bewil dered with their own havoc. Ditto Bblmoda, 8, oontacted a pine board In the hands of his Paw yes terday. It la understood that Oltzo closed the "open door" In China. a Blnoe the first chill wind of last autumn, the Worthy Poor have been gypped by the Professional Poor who know their politicians, and their 4 flusbera. No matter what restric tions are erected, the unworthy will find a loose board by which to secure beans, and evade toll. It la no great trick to separate the Worthy from the Unworthy. The latter Is always pub licly whining about his poverty. The former never seeks publicity for hta poverty. He wears about the same suit of clothes. In these kinds or times, wherever he goes. He cant look woe-stricken on the courthouse lawn, and shleklsh at the Saturday night dance. SUFFERING We have Just finished an editorial In ft Kansas paper, reviewing the suffering of the Armenians, who up to the end of the Great War special ised In suffering. It Is brief, concise, and unprejudiced review of the suf fering of the Armenians, who came through It all In good ahape, thanks to the tender-heartedneae of America and Americana. Hunger, disease, Cos sacks, rival armies. Kurds, Turks, crop failures, the blistering sun of summer, and the Icy winds of winter beset the Armenians with unrelent ing fury. As fast as one woe faded In Armenia, two more appeared to harass. They were pestered and plagued by every 111 known to Man. They were Inundated with troubles. "They escaped no scourge," the able review cites and declares. We beg to differ with the eminent review. There Is no record that the Armen ians, for all their misery, were ever accurst with wild haranguea to prejudice. The f nemles of Armenia dispatched spies to poison their wells. They kept their orators at home no minds were poisoned. 4 Pender and body repairing. Prices tight. Brill Sheet Metal Work. Fehl Should Resign! IS E. Hi Fehl judge of Jackson County, or head of the o- called Good Government Congress, or is he bothf In the last issue of his paper, he issues an official proclam ation worded in part as follows : "Therefore, as Judge of Jackson County I am appealing to each and everyone who Is now a member of the Good Government Congress, to at once call at the office of the Good Government Congress located in the Herald Building, at 324 West Sixth Street, In the city of Medford. and leave with the lady In charge what ever sum of money that you can spsre In the Interest of the re establlahment of ft free press. In Jackson County." Here k a county judge, acting in his official capacity, turning his private office into organization, whose leaders have openly appealed to taking the field in open revolution against the people of this state. and asking for cash contributions, to maintain a private busi ness in which ha is himself interested. r0 the rple of Jackson County endorse THAT SORT OF THING I Do they want their judge, acting as the leader of such an organization, using the power of his office, to get money from the people of this community, to finance a black mailing sheet, dedicated to the destruction of everything that the law abiding and self-respecting people of this community hold dear! The banks are closed. Every spare dime is needed to pro vide food for the hungry, and shelter for the ill and distressed. And yet the county judge of Jackson County, elected to look after ALL the people of this county, at a critical time like this, makes his own office the headquarters of an organ ization whose members cry out for ropes and nooses, whose leader calls for revolution; demands they hand over their hard-earned nickels and dimes, to finance a private business in which he is interested, and which had done more to ruin this county than any other agency, in its entire history. NCE more this paper calls on County Judge Fehl 0 resign, before he violates every principle of decency, drags into the mud and the mire, every consideration of honor and self- respect, in public office. It must be clear NOW to as long as he remains in office structive work is possible, no We asked that he resign before, in justice to himself, as airem, "... , ' " I On the theory that constant re suspected accomplice in one againBt good government and of this community. We ask it now, in justice to represent, and the welfare of resides. Not Long, Now To the edltort I say it Is a crime and I mean crime that at such a tough time aa this, 'when we need as never before, to be let alone and given a chance to keep this community from falling into the ditch that any bunoh of cheap, self-seeking politicians and trouble makers, should be allowed to keep on stirring up dissension and strife, for their own selfish and destructive ends, and render any betterment Impossible. Laws are mode for the protection of peo ple. Isn't there some law that can protect peace-loving and law abiding citizens of Jackson county at this critical hour? I don't mean tomorrow, I mean today. I am Just a plain farmer, havent taken any part in this fracas one way or the other. But I am sick of It and I believe most of the people are sick of it. Our new President said something about this condition being like war. I guess that's about it. Well then If It's wsr, why can't we put down these Bolsheviks and ballot burners like we do in war. The Presi dent has got unusual powers, to iron out the bank situation; why can't the Governor be given unusual powers to iron out this sit uation In Southern Oregon? I would like to know If something can't be done and I think there are plenty of people who feel Just as I do. I am sick and tired of It, and with all the thousands of laws we have, It seems to me there must be ONE that can protect the plain average citizen from this sort of thing and do It right now. You keep saying, enforce the law and uphold the law en forcement officers. Well, that's all right, I suppose, but I can't see it's doing much good. Z ain't favoring force but It appears to me, there ought to be some legal way of putting this pack of wild coyotes, where they belong, and doing It . right now. If you use this, don't print my name. I got work to do and dont want to be bothered by any of these Good Governmentors, But if you can find a law like I suggest, let me know and I'll take a day off and do anything I can to see It's carried out, good and quick too." "IXH have no doubt many people ieel just at T T pondent does. IF our legal fraternity CAN effective in oleaning up this mess, than those already invoked, by all means let's have them. But we fear there are none. Nor do we believe, conditions are so oritioal that interven tion of the Governor, is necessary. We may be unduly sanguine, but our honest opinion is the "Good Governmenters" as our communicant calls them, with their talk of ropes and nooses and open revolution, are all through but THEY DON'T KNOW IT. . . . e IRRITATION at the continuation of this hulabaloo Is natural, the desire to clean it up once and for all, "RIGHT NOW," is natural also. But the agitation responsible for this "crime" has been going on for months in fact for years. The infection can't be ENTIRELY cleared up overnight. As soon as this bank holiday ends, the oourts resume and the juries oonvene, we are confident that this "pack of wild coyotes" WILL BE PUT WHERE THEY BELONG. All we need Is x?hat we NOW HAVE, an aroused and ag gressive publio opinion a public opinion supporting consti tuted authority, upholding the laws, and demanding from all publio officials the prompt and impartial enforcement) of those laws. The process takes time, . It takes patience. But less of both than at any time since this orasy " oriminal attempt to destroy Jackson County started. Jenkins' Comment (Continued from Page One) money before prices rise and new business actlrlty will be created. Creation ot new business activity will mean restoration of prosperity. ONS more thought: In the past, bank panlca have been one of the very last eventa of a depression.

And In this con nection a man In whose Judgment this writer has great confidence said: "I believe this panic, bad nji It seems at the moment, marks the turning point In the depression, and after we get It out of our aystem, conditions will Improve rapidly.

A man named K has made his pile In the plumbing trade. As a boy he was a bit backward fn school, not because his I. Q. was low, but probably because his teachers' pedagogic art was undeveloped. One day young K came along with a bag of assorted rusty nails, nuts and tacks. An other boy of his own age, but brighter In school had a bag of marbles. K soon convinced this brighter boy that one could do won derful things with nails, nuts and tacks, and effected a painless ex change of Junk for marbles. I cast no reflection on the plumb ing trade when I say that every lay man has a bag of marbles to begin with. And every charlatan has a package of Junk to dispose of. There Is the problem. You tell me the answer. One charlatan, let us say. offers powerful probang for sweeping mi crobes out of the esophagus, the bris tles so keen and accurately embedded that they Impale and severely punish each and every germ that happens to be hanging around when you make your regular morning and evening esophageal toilet. Most amazing of all, you can become the proud and successful owner of one of these per fected probangs at Just half the price of ordinary probangs, thus affecting a substantial saving in your esopha geal hygiene. All this may sound rather silly to the hardheaded wise acre, but to my mind It Is Just as sensible as Is the common practice of the laity In the use of antiseptic iteration or the idea makes people believe it Is so, I beg to call atten tion once more to a fundamental scientific principle: Disease germs do no actual harm until they have Invaded the tissues. That means that the mere presence of disease germs on the surface of the body, either on the skin or on the mucous membrane lining nose, throat or other passage, does not account for any Illness. Not until the germs have made their way through some break In the surface and gained a foothold within the organ or struc ture concerned, can we say they are i causing trouble. Now I beg to call attention to an other principle which holds abso lutely true as far as our present knowledge goes: No medicine or chemical as yet dis covered will destroy germs or appre ciably retard their activities In the Publish Oregon's Best Weekly Above la IT.

A normal 13-year-old child's reac tion to this teaching may weU be the question: Then .why do doctors ad vise the use of antiseptics for sore throat, colds and flu? Besides, a lot bf adults .have the mental development of the normal 12-year-old child. I have left Just enough room to mention one good reason why doc tors prescribe antiseptic gargles, sprays and the like In the treatment of crl. Such remedies have no Influ ence on the germs which are actually causing the trouble, but they tend to destroy or render harmless any germs given off in the nose or throat secretions or discharges, and so to prevent the spread of the Infection to other persons. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Uremia. What Is uremic poisoning? What are the symptoms and the remedy? Mrs. A. 8. Answer It Is a serious Illness due to grave functioning Impairment of the kidneys. The symptoms and treatment are best left to the expert Judgment of the attending physician. The NcRro Throwback. In reply to a query you stated that "no such reversion to type ever oc curs," referring to the legend of a negro child being born to apparently pure white parents, when one of the parents happens to have a trace of negro blood. I have known Instances of white people having a black baby. I have raised chickens from R. I. hens and Plymouth Rock roosters. One of the chickens was decided R. I., twq white, two black and the rest half and half R. I. and P. R. L. M. D. Answers I don't know about the fowls, but I do know that stories of negro babies born to white or nearly white parents are old 'wives' tales. The offspring will never be less white than the least white parent. F.obnr Pneumonia. Would like to know what lobar pneumonia Is. Please answer In your column. H. H. Answer Lung fever. An acute In fectious disease, having abrupt onset, usually with chilliness or a severe chill, followed by high fever that continues for a week to 10 days and terminates by crisis In a period of less than 24 hours. The characteristic sign of lung fever is inflammation and consolidation of one or more lobes of one or both lungs, but the fever, not the damage to the lung, Is the serious feature of the Illness. There Is no apparent change in the condition ox tne lung at the time of the crisis, but the fever terminates antl the patient Is practically re covered. (Copyright," John P.

Ths animal, driven by Chub Hamlin, turned a sharp corner onto Main street at Central avenue and pitched lta driver to the atreet. It then ran west to the It theater, w.here It was stopped and where a frightened oc cupant of the carriage, a friend of Mr. Hamlln'a alighted. All through the race this man had despertely clutched a hickory cane which he dropped when the horse stopped. He explained that he had a sprained ankle and that he figured he was tak ing less chances by staying by ths runabout than he would If he had Jumped. One of those who had atopped tho horse entered the runabout to drive the outfit to a livery stable, when It again broke loose and dashed head-on for Hassey's window.

And took a look around; He vowed that peace and harmony Must cease to there abound. He found a man with wicked pen. And urged him to declare The town was full of vile outlaws And officers unfair. He wrote of plots most ''dastardly,'' He screamed about a "gang"; A call was made for ropes and such. The wayward ones to hang. They stormed into our courthouse halls, And men from far and near, Who knew not what their grievance was. Stayed on to cheer and cheer. A woman rose from out their ranks, A leader bold to be And anyone who dared to tell, She horsewhipped brazenly. . The Devil clapped his hands In gleet His plan bad worked full well. He said, "In Just & little while, I'll have them all in hell." But, alas! he hadn't counted on The steady and the true,. And now they have him on the run, And they'll down his colleagues, too. K. E.
