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.

Enterprise Mortician and

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

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.

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.

WHAT'S tOVB ATTITUDE TOWABD MICROBES?
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

I have left Just enough room to
mention one good reason why doc

sprays and the like In the treatment

causing the trouble, but they tend
to destroy or render harmless any
germs given off in the nose or throat

prevent the spread of the Infection

The NcRro Throwback.
In reply to a query you stated that
"no such reversion to type ever oc

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.,

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.

Would like to know what lobar
pneumonia Is. Please answer In your

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

animal, driven by Chub Hamlin,

stopped and where a frightened oc

the race this man had despertely
clutched a hickory cane which he
dropped when the horse stopped. He
explained that he had a sprained

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. Here It was
quieted by a couple of livery hands
only after they had been awung In

away then started, for no sooner was
the horse apparently quiet than It
broke for the big Weeks ic McOowan

The Devil Came to Town.
The Devil came to Medford town.
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.
