George
fiEOBGE PKESCQTT should long be remembered for the
kindly manner in which he executed his official duties. He
was modest, quiet and lfhassuming. If he had a process to serve
he served it in a gentlemanly manner. He took no pleasure out
of the misery of the unfortunate.
He had been for years a juvenile officer under Judge Ben
B. Lindsey, while Judge Lindsey was at the head of the Juvenile
and Family Court at Denver. It was Prescott 'a duty to handle
the unfortunate and erring youth whom Lindsey especially
sought to help. Tet Prescott served for years in police duty in
this city, without this previous service being generally known.
, By training and nature he was always the friend of youth.
Frequently when boys were brought into the police station here
he handled their cases himself, and for their best interests.
When they were deserving he found them employment, if it
could be had. He took a great interest in the high school games.
He commissioned some of the high school boys on police duty to
maintain order, and through this co-operation performed a great
jublio service.
During this depression he was directed to keep the unem
ployed strangers moving, and while he endeavored to perform
this duty, he nevertheless found quarters for these unfortunate
people, and made it his business to raise funds by the sale of
tickets entitling" them to meals at the kitchen that he had
helped to create for the purpose of feeding these people.
. , He had a splendid blend of those qualities which make a real
human being, and in his quiet, inoffensive way, he performed
the duties of his office fearlessly and efficiently, the commu
nity will want ALIi to know that these services were appre
ciated. E. B. A.- , "
One Lesson to
EVERT tragedy has its lesson. The tragic slaying of George
Prescott has several. :
One lesson, we believe, stands out above all others. It is this :
The dangers of unscrupulous agitation, of inflammatory
propaganda, the circulation of falsehoods and half-truths, for
the purpose of securing political power. ,
Few communities are entirely free from this, particularly
in such a disturbed period, as the present. It is too much to
expeot that this crime will permanently rid this community of
the self-seeking political agitator, who by misguiding and mis
leading the people, hopes to get into office and put someone else
out..
But if this community has learned the lesson of this tragedy,
political agitators and trouble makers will never have as EASY
a time in the future, as they have had in the past.
For their success depends upon two things : First, publio in
difference j second, too great a willingness to believe evil of
others. '
i i, a
BECAUSE of public indifference the politioal agitators and
character assassins are allowed to sew their poison day
after day, month after month, year after year, practically un
opposed; For while the victims protest, as do their friends, un
less they are supported by the people as a whole, the destructive
propoganda goes on and on, until its cumulative eff ootive, as in
this oase is tragic. '
While resistance is thus broken down, the little ball of hate
and discord grows like the proverbial snowball, because, as
above stated, many people are so KEADY to believe evil of their
fellow men, assume they are guilty, without a chance of
being heard, without even taking the trouble to investigate the
other side of the story. . ;
HAD THE PEOPLE of this community been aroused from the
outset, been politically "oonscious" from the start, so to
Bpeak, the destructive and sinister agitation which oulminated
in this terrible tragedy, would have been stopped before the
danger point had been reached.
OR, had they as a WHOLE, refused to so readily believe evil
of others, merely insisted upon adhering to the fundamental
principle of fair play, that every man's innocence is to be as
sumed, until the oontrary has been proved, the disaster would
also have been avoided. '
But they didn't. If they do in the future, if the people aa
a whole, not only during elections but between them, awake to
their oivio responsibilities If they refuse to believe charges of
graft, corruption and skullduggery, on the "say-so" of any per
son, but demand proof, insist upon the facts, insist upon
hearing both sides before they decide either side is right or
wrong
Then, as far as the future peace, prosperity and welfare of
this community is concerned, George Prescott will not have died
in vain I ' '
No Trials by
WE HAVE HAD several protests against printing any publio
statements made by those involved in the various crimes
which have disrupted this community, and which culminated in
the tragedy of Thursday, last.
W wrtnin1v not uninc to
of this newspaper, or allow any one else to make the attempt.
Those caBes will soon go before the courts, and In those courts,
not in the public press, guilt or innocence must be determined.
On th ntW hand. The Mail Tribune is a NEWSPAPER,
and has a responsibility to give its readers the news regard
less of the source. If any public statement, by any individual,
nn miHr whn ha mav he. can nronerlv be classified an "news,"
and not as propaganda, then
No newspaper worthy of the name, can print news on one
side of a question and suppress news on the other. Even if the
news may be regarded as favorable to a faction, this newspaper
opposes, if it really IS "new" it will be used.
, The interpretation of that news Ha proper understanding
by the people will be the function of the editorial column of
this newspaper.

CONCERTED ACTION
KELLOGG PACT
ED By SPEAKER
Thinking in terms of the new pa
triotism of the past 13 years based
upon the doctrine of the Kellog-
Brland pact, rather than the out
moded "war glory" thinking develop
ed through the 4000 years preceding,
waa urged by Miss Anis Lobdell In
an Address yesterday before an audi
ence of 200 in the courthouse audi
torium.
Tho speaker also emphasized the
importance of immediate letters to
President Roosevelt and .Secretary of
State Hull urging compliance with
the Ramsay MaoDonald proposal . of
Friday and to the president of the
foreign relations committed urginc
rea'.lration that more than 90, per
cent of the people of the United
StatH favor membership in the world
court.
The measure in the house foreign
affairs committee granting the presi
dent the right to declare an embargo
on sale and shipment of arms to
foreign countries Is also considered
of vital importance for favoraWe
consideration. ' .
Only through an enlightened and
determined public opinion demand
ing from those representing the peo
ple recognition of its opinion can
peace machinery as set up through
such agencies as the League of na
tions the world court and the Kel-
logg-Briand pact be implemented to
taring about a reduction of arms and
settlement of differences through
peaceful means.
The speaker traced the develop
ment of militarism defining it as an
expression or economic greed.
a vivid picture of what another
war would Involve due to the dis
coveries and inventions of recent
year? waa given by Miss Lobdell who
maintains that western civilization
would be destroyed with Its own
weapons turned against it.
At.cntllon waa directed to the fact
that almost three fourths of Pres..
dent Hoover's budget estimate for
the fiscal year 1932 was alloted to 4
Items of war, that 73 cents out of
every dollar of federal Income tax
collected toy the government in 1632
weni for war, and that 87.79 centa in
1932 with the lower cost of living
brought the ratio even higher for last
year.
Other facts brought but were that
the United States U paying 70 per
cent more for armaments than It did
before the war and that It Is paying
more than any other nation In the
world for armaments.
' The total cost of the world war
was given as 337 billion dollars with
a cct, according to Andrew Mellon
of 91 billion already to the United
States, and an estimated eventual
total according to the late Calvin
Cooiidge of 100 bMl'.on dollars.
Because of this excessive cost and
the continuing expense of armament
40 million women in 56 countries, ac-,
cording to the speaker, have sent out,
a plea to the world for international
pea. contending that it Is the most
urgent task before the world today.
In view of the fact that in the midst
of a commercial depression and eco
nomic warfare we are suffering under
an unprecedented burden of arma
ment. Mia Lobdell, who la public rela

. O. D. Adams of Salem, state dir

school In mining Instruction here.
He appointed a committee to en-
roll members In a free course In
placer mining, panning and recovery
of gold. Registrations are being re
celved at the Chamber of Commerce,
where the Southern Oregon Mining
association nas Its headquarters and
the class Is expected to open this
weeK.
Giving of Instruction to ttie 1000
persons, now seeking their living In
the mountain regions, is expected to
enable many more of them to be
come self-sustaining and thus to
lessen the unemployment problem
facing this county. There are at
this time 900 persons out of 1000
mining, who are making enough
money to avoid asking aid from the
county. - They are mining for the
most part In a very crude manner,
the association member stated yes
terday, and even then making
money. If they are .instructed in
the easier processes of locating and
recovering gold, the earning power
of these men will be greatly In
creased, statistics available from
ot,her regions, where classes have
been conducted, show, classes were
held In Baker end Grants Pass last
year, and It Is well known here that
quantities of gold are coming In
from the hills neighboring the two
cowns, practically solving the unem
ployment problem.
Many Inquiries have come to the
Southern Oregon Mining association
regaraing mining instruction. Those
entering the classes will not be asked
to pay any entrance or other fees
but to furnish their own pans and
transportation to the mining sec
tions. IRE ARRESTED
