The California Earthquake
ZOOMING at a time when the entire country is struggling to
survive the most serious financial and economic crisis in its
history, the devastating earthquake in California is doubly
tragic.
With a man-made catastrophe in full blast, it seems entirely
wrong that any section of t'uis whirling ball of mud, should be
forced to suffer a catastrophe of Nature, ALSO.
But so often that is the way liiiugs happen. Misfortunes
never come singly. , Frequently an individual, just arising from
one crashing blow, is felled by another, and still another. So
Southern California, with its thousands of unemployed, business
at a standstill, struggling to get its feet on the ground, is visited
by a disaster, when IT IS LEAST ABLE TO MEET IT.
Those who have the wisdom to understand such things, and
can fit them into a logical and satisfactory scheme of fife, arc
to be envied. . As far as the present writer is concerned he
can't understand them, and .only accepts them on faith, the
faith that "PASSETH understanding."

vng. Science Is tracing the onuw.
One theory ts thnt ft Jncluon county
foundation shaker grabbed the wrong
ection of the country.
Do You Believe In This
Government?
UBS is a representative government.
The cornerstone of that representative government is ma.
jority rule.
The moment a MINORITY refuses to abide by the will of
the majority, representative government ends. All democratic
government ends. Only two outcomes are then possible. Open
anarchy or an absolute dictatorship, ,
UR fundamental law declares that Jackson county should
be governed by three representatives of the people one
judge and two commissioners. The law also provides that the
policies of that court should be determined by a majority yote.
But ever since he was elected to office, Judge Fehl has
refused to abide by the majority of his own court, refused to
work with them in any way, and has sought day in, day out,
to overthrow representative government and establish an abso
lute dictatorship.
CHARACTERISTICALLY, Fehl has tried to hide his real
purposes behind a smoke-screen of yowlings and yappings
about his love for the people, devotion to law- and order, and
reverence for the Constitution.
. But this cheap and transparent claptrap has deceived no
one but himself. His love for the people, has been expressed
by trying to build up his own political machine, via the county
commissary, devotion to law and order has been ezamplfied
by his. own arrest as an accomplice in the most brazen and
shameless outrage against law and order in local history; his
reverence for the Constitution, by joining an organization whose
official spokesman openly advocated revolution, reducing every
fundamental right of that sacred dooument, to a sorap of paper.
THIS is his record as county judge. In our judgment, it is
the WORST RECORD in public office, ever known in the
history of Southern Oregon. It is a record which has disrupted
a oommunity, set neighbor against neighbor, encouraged law
lessness and violence, and repeatedly threatened bloodshed.
But apparently Fehl glories in it. He intends to continue it.
"Rule or ruin" is his motto, and in spite of an aroused and
militant public opinion he has AGAIN 'called on the people to
bring about a reorganization of the county court, which means
only one thing : '
A oounty court where majority rule is ABANDONED, where
the principles of representative government are ABANDONED,
where E. H. Fehl is the absolute dictator, and bis co-workers are
mere RUBBER STAMPS.
That is all Judge Fehl wants, and this is what he Intends
to have. The time has come when the people of Jackson county
nearly twenty thousand voters should have SOMETHING
to say about this.
Do they want representative government or a DICTATOR
SHIP!
Do they want the law enforced or not enforced t ''
Do they want THREE man rule, or ONE man rule!
Do they want this intolerable mess to continue, with ita
incendiary mass meetings; its threats of "ropes and nooses";
its open appeals to revolution or do they want it cleaned up,
and the silly farce stopped!
In short do they want Judge Fehl to continue as county
judge or do they want him to step outt
The time has come for them for the people all the people,
to Rpeak out and in every way, let the popular will be known.

SLAYER OF WOMAN
BELIEVED LOCATED
RICHMOND, Mo.. March 11 AP)
K. - A. Harris, oounty prosecutor,
aid here today he had received a
request from Sheriff T. B. Hooker
of Dallas, Ore., for a full description
of Lonnle Affront!, wanted here for
the murder of Mrs. Tom Ross.
The Oregon sheriff. Parrla aald,
believed he had located a man who
might be Affront!.
The Cathollo Ladles' Rummage
Sale announced for March Oth and
lOMi hss been Indefinitely postponed
on account ol present condition.
IN HIS effort to secure absolute control of the county court,
Judge Fehl is now touring the county and telling the people
that Commissioner Nealon is holding his position illegally. That
he was named, NOT by two members of the court, to fill a
vacancy, as the law provides, but by what he terms "two pri
vate citizens," in violation of the law.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH T Commissioner Nealon was named
to fill the vaeanoy caused by the resignation of former Com
missioner Barneburg, by the votes of the two remaining mem
bers of the court as PROVIDED BY LAW.
At the time this was done, Judge Fehl claimed this action
was illegal beoause the proceedings were not entered in the
court journal, until after the terms of the two commissioners
had expired.
This involved a legal point to decide. Who was to docide it!
Judge Fehl, an interested party! The two commissioners, also
interested parties! Or a disinterested party, with the
AUTHORITY TO RULE ON SUCH A QUESTION 1
"VBVIOUSLY the latter. This was done. The question was
referred to Attorney General Van Winkle of this state,
who ruled that Commissioner Nealon 's appointment was abso
lutely legal, that hit right to the position was as sound as if
he had been elected by the people.
Doesn't that settle the matter! It should for all fair-minded
and law-abiding citizens.
For that ruling is sustained by the law, and the official
interpretation of that law.
DUT it doesn't settle the matter as far as Fehl is concerned.
He continues to refute to abide by that decision; h con
tinues to claim that Nealon holds hit position illegally and
should be thrown out; he continues to distribute false and
poisonous propaganda' to deceive the people, on this matter as
well, as on scores of others.
Why! Simply because with Nealon out, and one of Fehl's
henchmen in, the latter would absolutely control the court,
he would be what he wants to be the absolute dictator of
Jackson county, representative government and the principle
of majority rule, would be overthrown, the Fchl-Banks crowd
would be supreme.

I have been fol
lowing your teach
ings for years, and
they coincide ex
actly with my ex-experlence,
You teach that
colds (I can nel
ther spell nor pronounce the scien
tific name for them)
You flatter me, brother The name
I hope to popularize for any or all
of the common respiratory Infections
which are Indiscriminately spread
under the innocent name of "colds'
by authorization of the public health
administrators everywhere, la CRI,
and It Is pronounced cree. It la not
a scientific name, because I thought
of It first. And that's the main
reason why our old fogy medical au
thorities and political accidents 'who
serve aa health officers or health
commissioners are grimly determined
t,hat CRI never shall be recognized
unless over the dead bodies of a mil
lion more victims of these prevent
ive diseases. Pray continue, J. B. J.
that colds are not produced by
or contracted as a consequence of
wet feet or exposure to severe cold,
but Instead are caused oy germs from
someone who has such a disease.
As proof of that contention let me
say that I have ridden for hours
without a dry atltch on my person,
the water running out of my boots,
while working on the ice on the
Mississippi, I have fallen Into the
water up to my neck and wrung out
my wet clothes behind the Ice nous
and put them on again wet and re
turned to work for the rest of the
day, riding home on an Ice wagon;
have had wet feet half of my life
time cutting wood in snow up to my
knees; in fact I was born with wet
feet; many times while hunting I
have broken thru the thin Ice and
got my boots full of water, but when
I got out I Just took off the boots,
poured, out the water and put them
on again and continued my hunting;
I was pinned by a falling tree and
lay unconscious In zero weather for
three hours before they found me.
Yet I have never contracted anything
like a cold until
Until Inst week when I crossed the
street here In Chicago on a sunny
day free from wind and around freez
ing temperature, wearing no coat,
vest or sweater, shirt open at neck,
wool underwear, slippers, and now
I'm Just getMng over the only cold
I've ever had, and at last my friends
declare they have me In a corner and
that not even Dr. Brady can explain
where the germs came from . . .
No? But I might make a stab at
It If you gave me more data. How
long after the crossing of the street
did Che first symptom develop? And
wihat the dickens made you go and
cross the street anyway? Here's a
sporting proposition: If your friends
will concoct a plausible explanation
of your lifelong immunity I'll under
take to give a plausible source of in'
lection in your case.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Anything to Please the Irish
Please give the recipe for preparing
a Jelly from Irish Moss . . . (Mrs. M.
D. K.)
Answer Irish Moss may be bought
from druggists at 15 cents for an
ounce. Use two level teaspoonfuls
of the granulated moss to a quart of
milk. Some people are found of It
served with unsweetened cream and
sprinkled with nutmeg. Mrs. H. B. C.
gives this suggestion. Mrs. A. J. B.
says she has never been without sea
moss, collected by the family along
the New England beach, in the pan
try. She says sea moss blano mange
la delicious and her family never
tires of It for dessert. . She has been
unable to find it In drug stores in
New Jersey, but In Massachusetts a
quarter's worth of the moss will last
for months. She offers to tell any
one Interested how to make the
blano mange and where to obtain
the moss.
Mrs. H, B. 0. of Bridgeport sends
this recipe:
IRISH MOSS BLANC-MANOE
1 quart of milk
cup of sugar.
Generous pinch of salt.
Two teaspoonfuls vanilla.
Cover the moss with cold water
and let It soak 10 or 15 minutes
Drain off the water; pick over the
moss and add the milk. Cook in ia
double boiler for a half hour, no
longer. Add the salt and strain;
then - add the vanilla and atraln
again. Pour Into Individual molds
dipped in cold wator. When firm,
remove from molds and ' serve with
any fruit or with sugar and cream.
The eating of Irish Moss Is partic
ularly good for persons who have

NEWBURY NAILS
TOLD BY BANKS
To the Editor:
Mr. Banks in his "Once In Awhile"
column In a recent Issue of the Med
ford Dally News, stated:
"'I had been Informed that Ous
Newbury, the Attorney, had walk
ed Into a barber shop, flourish
ed a revolver, laid It down In the
barber shop and made the state
ment that he was carrying the
gun for lu A. Banks."
Nobody ever gave Mr. Banks that
Information. He made It out of whole
clo.h Just as he has made the other
stuff out of whole cloth that he has
been peddling to the people of Jack
son county for more than three years,
poisoning the minds of good citizens
with stuff that was untrue, ad giv
ing unto Jackson county a nation
wide reputation for lawlessness snd
violence that never waa committed.
This raving of his is merely an
other one of his spasms of hallucina
tions, and I doubt not that when he
gave expression to It with hla pen
that he hammered the. desk until Its
timbers rattled and the Ink wells
leaped to the celling, accompanying
It with a Comma nche yell that caused
the rafters to .shiver as If a Los A,n-
geies earth quake had struck them.
According to a statement of his for
mer attorney Mr. Wtlklns. Mr. Banks
went to the office of Mr. Wllklns on
Januery 20th, 1933. with two guns
strapped on his person and exhibit-
Ing them to Mr. Wllkins he waltzed
around Mr. Wllklns office flourish
ing the guns and said "Now bring on
ous Newbury."
Mr. Banks owed the News Publish
ing company three promissory notpi
amounting to $10,000 as a balance
due on the purchase pi ice of the ma
chlnerv end equipment sold to Mr.
Bank. These notes were more than
two years past due, no payments hav
Ing been made either on the principal
or the Interest and he allowed the
taxe3 to accumulate against the prop-
erty; and In November, 1032, the News
Publishing company, falling to get
any satisfaction from Mr. Banks In
the matter of paying these promis
sory notes or any part thereof, brot
a suit In the Circuit Court for the
collection of these notes and for the
foreclosure of the mortgage covering
the printing plant. Ordinarily a suit
of that kind would be brought to
trial within a month; but Mr. Banks
resorted to every device possible to
avoid a trial of the case. The case -was
assigned to Judge Brand for trial,
and In open court Mr. Banks agreed
to have the same tried before Judge
Brand on December 10th. On Decem
ber 10th he repudiated this agree
ment and filed an affidavit of preju
dice against Judge Brand although
he had never seen J .id go Brand until
the case waa brought to court. He
then filed an affidavit of prejudice
against Judge Norton, all for the pus
pose of preventing a trial of the case.
The Supreme Court then assigned the
case o Judge Duncan, and although
Mr. Banks had never seen Judge Dun
can In his life, he came into court
and filed an affidavit of prejudice
against Judge Duncan. So far as Mr.
Banks was concerned it was really
true that the courts had ceased' to
function, but not because of the
courts but because of Mr. Banks re
sorting to the affidavits which he
filed charging Judge Brand, Judge
