THIS TOWN
Tot all Its faults and folly, thle
burg la nothing If not entertaining
chiefly to the rest of the world. If
e civic rumpus arises, It la the best
rumpus raging. If the county has a
murder trial like the DeAutremont
case the Interest does not run to
county border lines and atop. The
entire nation reads about It. Take
our Klan monkeyshlnes of yeara ago.
It hustled Mississippi and Alabama to
excel them. Then there was the foot
ball team. It was always popping
out on the pront pages. And, In days
gone by, the press of the land has
printed a paragraph or two snout
the glories and the grandeur of the
flah and the pears. Lincoln J. Car
ter, who wrote the thrilling melo
dramas, and Edgar 'Wallace, who pen-'
ned the mystery yams so well, never
cooked up In their imaginations,
anything so full of intrigue and eua
eednesa aa any one of a dozen com
monplace happenings. Most of the
Nick Carter tales, In comparison,
would only make lively reading for a
Sunday school paper.
In these parte, a political villain Is
always pursuing a political hero with
at cheese-knife, down a blind alley,
and half the Intelligent voters rush
to protect the hero, and the other
half to give moral support to the
villain. The result Is: Commonsense
If kicked farther than BAbe Ruth can
knock a baseball, and Truth If It
has a chance takes. It and floes.
Along would come a Lie. It was so
bald, so bare-faced, and so bareleg
ged, that the target would not take
time or the trouble to deny It. 100
to 1 everybody believed it, and It was
the gospel truth, because the liar had
told it twice the aame way. And,
there la an alibi for everything. It
Is a poor alibi, indeed, that falls to
have Its quota of ardent believers.
Take the Rogue River fish bill. If
Rogue river Is closed, It should be
open and If It is open, It ahould be
closed. When there Is nothing else
to fight about, there Is alwaya the
Rogue River fish bill. The only way
to stop It Is to abolish Rogue river.
Take propaganda and, we can
take it. As a human group this
county hae awallowed more propa
ganda than any other 36,000 people
on the face of the earth. Even If tt
was Identified aa pure propaganda, It
would be swallowed avidly, tit made
no difference, as long as the propa
ganda claimed to be pure. There has
been mother love for propaganda.
Lies and Liars. As one aged gentle
man up a creek aald: "I know he'a
a liar, and I know he'a telling a He
but I'm tired of hearing nothing but
the truth, and I want a change from
the courthouse down."

This Is an overwhelming Repub
lican county. It will go any way but
Republican in a crucial election.
We are a hospitable people. Half
the auto tramps on the highways of
the Psciflc coast are full of Jackaon
county beans and anarchistic notions.
But. aa a rule, we raise our hell In
an orderly mannei, and keep It out
of the Portland papers.

"You Get What You Vote for!"
ETVE members of the Good Government Congress have cOn-
feBsed to breaking into the new court house, stealing the
ballots and burning them.
More are expected to confess.
"Ton get just what you vote for!"
A few days before election last November the following
statement appeared in this column:
"Earl Pehl Is absolutely unfitted by temperament, character
and training for the position of county Judge. His election to
that position would be nothing short of a public calamity. You
get Just what you vote fori"
Whereupon 5G97 people voted for hira according to the of
ficial returns.
Less than three months after his election, the public calamity
predicted came to pass.
Those 5697 people got just what they voted fori
Judge Fehl Lover of Justice!
PARI) FEHL, under indictment for complicity in this brazen
- and bungling crime against all law abiding and orderly
government in this community, is still county judge.
He passionately denies his guilt. He claims his indictment
is a "framo-up, a gigantic political plot to deprive him of his
office."
A little over four months ago he claimed the same thing
about the effort of this newspaper end others to defeat him for
county judge.
That, too, was a gigantic political frame-up to deprive him
of getting, an office, he now occupies and intends to retain.
A political frame-up, machinations of the Medford gang,
a gigantic and diabolical plot to defeat the will of the people,
and retire to private life this man, who mysteriously disappear
ing two hours before the murder of Gebrge Prcscott, appeared
three days later, condemning this wanton slaying and declaring!
"I have always stood for Justice and law enforcement through
' the orderly processes of a democratic form of government."
So Judge Fehl has always stood for justice and law enforce-
men through the orderly processes of a democratic government!
How did Judge Fehl stand
when ho proudly declared he was a member of the Good Govern
ment congress, and endorsing the plot to overthrow the recall,
declared :
"I hope thla organization will go on and on untU It sweeps
not only this county but every county In the state end every
state In the union. Thus only we are going to have better gov
ernment In aU our departments. I thank you most kindly."
He thanked them most kindly ! Why shouldn't he J Things
were going well then with him and the Good Government con
gress. The next stop in swooping the county, preparatory to
taking over Salem and marchjng onto Washington, D. C, was
scheduled for the following Monday. As the county judge sat
down amid tumultuous applause the president of the congress
announced:
"We adjourn to meet again at 8 p. m. at the oounty court
house auditorium Monday evening of next week."
At that meeting the seoret signal was given, the banner of
"good government" was raised, the court-room vault was bro
ken into, tho-bnllot boxes stolen and destroyed; the most
devastating blow at the "orderly processes of a democratic
form of government" ever rooorded in the history of this state,
was struck. .
Strange, very strange, that such a lover of justice, such a
firm believer in the orderly processes of a democratic govern
ment as Judge Fehl, never deplored that outrage, never con
demned that crime.
TPHOSE five members of the congress, who have confessed the
crime, admitted their guilt, were all supporters and follow
ers of Judge Fehl, they had cheered his speeches at their meet
ings, they had endorsed and followed his leadership.
If Judge Fehl's indictment is the result of a gigantic plot,
then theso boys MUST HAVE BEEN VICTIMS ALSO. Why
doesn't Judge Fehl rush to their defense 1 Why doesn't he
name the plotters, present his evidence to protect his followers,
before it is too late.
Why does our county judge, so devoted to justice, desert his
followers at such a critical time.
Is he only interested in what happens to him, and indifferent
to those who follow his example and accept his teachings!
Why the Delay?
leJAME the plotters, Judge Fehl. Present your evidence of
' this diabolical conspiracy before the grand jury. Now
that we are having a house cleaning at last, let's have a thor
ough one.
Vou say you are innocent. All right You know more
about that than anyone else.
But you have been indiotod by a grand jury. You are still
holding tha position of county judge. Only a few weeks ago
before a mass meeting of your Good Government oongress you
made the following statement i
"I am not going to atk you to vote for me again. But I
make you this proposition as Judge of your county any time I
stand In the way of the orderly administration of the public
trust I hold, I am willing to get down and out. I. don't have
to be recalled."
Your present refusal to "get down and out" can only mean
you do not think you stsnd in
tration of the publio trust you hold. That you are not involved,
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY in these ballot thefts.
All right again. Then we submit there is only one thing for
yon to do, in justice to yourself
this community.
Demand an immediate trial.

lieved in justice.
A government under the law demands that you present your
case before a jury of your peers. Justice demands, that you
present the evidence of your innocence and the guilt of the
plotters against you, in open court.
As an innocent man, you should seek a pnblie vindication
at the earliest possible moment. The state is ready.

There are sermons In every pair of

parallel columns, but. I wish to point
out only two or three important con
trasts. The emotion of anger Is an Impulse
to fight or punish or hurt. The emo
tion of fear Is the Impulse or urge to
escape the Imminent threat or dan
ger. The natural reaction to either
emotion la motion, that is fighting
the antagonist or running away from
the danger. Action, motion satisfies
or dispels the emotion Just aa well
In either event; that t, It makes no

Smoker's Ihroat.
Can you suggest a better antiseptic
gargol than (a nostrum) for smoker's
throat? Miss M. L.
Answer It is slltv to use an antl
septio for such a condition. Might as
well try to remedy that tired feeling
with insect powder. The most effec
tive treatment Is to refrain from
smoking and from the company of
smokers 'breathing the smoke -polluted
air is nearly as irritating as
smok'.ng. Perhaps the gargle singers
and speakers use to prevent huskl
ness would give some relief. It Is
not "antiseptic," however. Send a

(AP) A tour of Glasgow by the
Prince of Wales today was marred by
two unpleasant incidents.
A man, allegedly a communist, who
was addressing a group at a corner,
refused to halt his speech while the
prince was passing. Police took him
off the platform and to a police sta
tion. When the prince visited Saint
Koch's Recreational club, a window
was smashed by stones thrown as the
royal car drove up. Police were un
able to locate those responsible.
There are largo numbers of com
munists. In the Glasgow population.
Unusual Incidents started at the
very moment of the prince's arrival.
Just before he emerged from his
sleeping car, a man broke through
the lines of police and station Of
ficials to the door of the royal car.
He told the station master, who stop
ped him there, that he had an en
gagement with the prince, but police
men rushed forward and escorted him
outside the station.

Boycott of Jews Takes
Form in Germany While
Petty Baiting Continues
BERLIN, March 39. (AP) Ger
many "s boycott of Jews, although It
does not begin officially until the
morning of April 1, already has be
gun to take form.
This morning the Berlin city gov
ernment ordered that from April I
on all supplies for municipal propects
and offices be purchased only from
nationalist merchants. Even school
attendance by Jewish children Is to
be reduced.
The newspaper Deutsche Allge
melne Zeltung reported Chancellor
Hitler as having said at today's cab
inet meeting that measures against
the "atrocity campaign" are necessary
because popular indignation other
wise might take undesirable forms.
Tfte Situation la under control now
and violence by individuals must be
prevented under all circumstances,
said the newspaper, quottlng Hitler
but the Jewa must bear In mind
that any Jewish campaign against
Germany would react most sharply
upon the Jews in Germany.
Forty-eight Jewish shops, picketed
by national socialist storm troopers,
were quickly closed by their owners,
and a number of other shops, run by
non-Jews on money borrowed from
Jews, also were picketed. Jewish
professors were prevented from en
tering classroom buildings at the un
iversity of Westphalia.
Hugo Slnzheimer, a member of the
university faculty, and three Jewish
attorneys were placed under "protect
ive arrest.' Prof. Sinahelmer was a
reporter for the war guilty commis
sion, and is a member of the German
peace aoclAty,
The National Socialist party head
quarters, which Issued Its appael for
a general Jewish boycott yesterday,
describes the campaign as in retal
iation for erroneous reports of Jewish-
persecution published abroad.
Two Berlin newspapers not domin
ated by the Nazi party warned the
govremment of the possible effects.
A prominent Jewish paper, envisaged
a revival of the middle age ghettos
or 'the Isolating of the Jews in .sep
arate villages such as those of Gyp
sies throughout Europe.
The government's Immediate at
tention was taken up by the strained
relations In Its own ranks caused by
the reported counter revolt move
ment in Brunswick Involving the
steel helmet (war veterans) organi
zation. Only ISO men remained In
custody there after the release last
night of 1,200 who had been held
prisoners 24 hours In the steel hel
met headquarters.
Those still In custody were de
scribed as leftist leaders. T,he Nazi
storm troops, who fought side by side
with the steel helmeters to establish
the Hitler regime and shared police
duties with, them since, had accused
the latter of enrolling more than 1,
000 former Relchsbanner (republican
defense force) men to oust the Nazis.
The order disbanding the steel hel
meters in that state and removing
tshem as auxiliary police will be re
scinded Saturday, it was announced.
Thla was decided after a confernce
between Dlethich Klagges, Nazi min
ister of Interior In Brunswick, and
Franz Seldte, the national leader of
the steel helmet and minister of la
bor in the Hitler cabinet.
Leaders of the steel helmet, which
is a monarchist organization, depre
cated reports that the Incident would
have repercuslons nationally and
tend to estrange nationalist members 1
of the Hitler cabinet who are closely
connected with the group. It waa
Just a "soldier's row" tihey said.
The Jewish newspaper Vosslche
Zeltung, commenting on the boycott,
said If It "is carried out to a finish
It would mean the economic ruin of
hundreds of thousands of German
Jews, Irrespective of age or sex, and
the ejection of German Jewry from
German communities."
The release of the boycott an
nouncement last night was seen as
a victory of the left wing of the
party, including Capt. Hermann
Goering, minister without portfolio,
and Hans Kerry, president of the
Prussian diet, over the more moder
ate wing of Chancellor Hitler and
Dr. Wllhelm Prick, minister of inter- j
lor.
Twenty-four Jewlah shop windows
were smashed overnight In Emden by
persons who have not been traced.
In Goettlngen virtually all Jewish
shop windows were smashed. Aux
iliary polce were guarding the prem
ises today.
At Glelwltz, Beuthen and Hlnden-
burg. Jewish stores reopened today aa
ant I-Jewish propaganda ceased after
representative by the Biles tan cham
ber of commerce, which pointed out
the inexpediency of such a campaign.
At Goerlltz, on the other hand, a
crowd numbering 1.000 assembled be
fore the court house shouting de
mands for the removal of Jewish
Judges and lawyers. Nazi storm
troopers then occupied the building
and took several Jews Into protective
custody.

Nazi delegations at Eberawalde ap

manded Immediate closing, as well aa
dismissal of all employees. During
the night show windows of all Jewish
shops were smeared with, tar and
glass cases in the town's two Jewish
owned motion pltcure houses were
smashed. Nazi headquarters ex
pressed disapproval of these acts of
vandalism.
Storm troopers at Bad Prelenwolde
stood before Jewish shops warning
against buying In them. Only half
of the usual number of tradesmen
appeared at the annual Jahrmarket,
since the jews remained away.
On order of the storm troops, pick

shops In Schwedt after negotiations
with tihe police.

SLOT MACHINE IS
BALTIMORE, March 29. .(AP) Aa
Michael J. Lewis, a pipe fitter In a
hurry, passed a lunch room he looked
at his watch and decided he had Just
time for a try at the slot rnachlne.
Before playing, he gave the slot
where the nickel goes an experimental
poke, and to his surprise found bis
finger stuck.
He pulled and Jerked, but the
harder he yanked the more firmly the
gadget held him.
Restaurant employes by that time
noticed him and began offering sug
gestions, none of which seemed to
work.
The police were summoned but
they, too, were balked.
They finally hauled Lewis and slot

where a surgeon with a hack saw did
the trick.
