Why All This Delay?
To tho Editor:
Can't the trials of tho ballot burners and Banks be speeded
up a bit? The billots were burned over six weeks sgo and
George Preacott was murdered three weeks ago, and yet the
dates of tho trials haven't even been set. What are we waiting
for? With all these confessions there Is no doubt about who
burned the ballots and there Is no doubt about who killed
Prescott. The longer wo wait, the greater the expense to tho
tax paysrs. and the more resentment there Is at tho delay of
Justice. Medford and Jackson county can't get together end go
ahead, until these cases are cleaned up. Justice Is done, and
one of the darkest chapters In local history closed and forgotten.
I can't see any rhyme of reason In this dllly dallying. Can't tho
powers wist ds see mat tne accused men sre given an Immedi
ate trial and the slate cleaned for full steam ahead. What Is
to be gained by either side, letting the cases drsg along and dreg
along. I would like to see some action and I believe most of
the people feel tho same way about It." j, ).
No doubt they do. At least the Mail Tribune has received a
number of complaints, verbal and written, similar to the above.
There are several reasons why speed in trials of major crimes
is difficult. The main reason is that American law is designed
primarily to protect criminals, instead of convicting thera.
Where any doubt exists, the benefit of the doubt is always given
the accused.
"TTAKE the matter of disqualifying the presiding judge, for
exnmple. There is no way of preventing a defendant from
employing this method of gaining time and delaying justice.
It has been used for this purpose and this purpose alone for a
year or more in Jackson county. Everyone knows no judicial
prejudice has actually EXISTED. None exists now.
Nevertheless five of the defendants in the ballot burning
and criminal syndicalism cases have already filed affidavits of
prejudice against Judge Duncan of Klamath, who was only
called here because Judge Norton was similarly disqualified.
There is no reason to doubt that when another judge is named,
he will also be disqualified, as Judge Brand was disqualified six
months ago.
All of this takes time precious time. But that is the law,
and in the last analysis only the
sible for tho laws they have.
I TNTIL public opinion is
reforms in criminal procedure, what our correspondent
calls "dilly dallying" will continue.
We have no doubt as far as the state is concerned, these
trials could be called tomorrow. But unless the defendants
WANT them called, there is no legal way of compelling them
to do so.
Oregon is not peculiar in this
Mrs, Judd in Arizona. She murdered two girls in cold blood
over two years ago. She was convicted and sentenced, but she
is still alive, and if the sentence is finally carried out public
sympathy will be with her, NOT with the unfortunate victims
of her homicidal rage who will be forgotten.
THUS NOT ONLY IS JUSTICE OUTRAGEOUSLY DE-
LAYED, BUT WHAT CORRECTIVE OR PREVENTIVE
VALUE, PUNISHMENT MAY
nPIIEY do things differently in
they do things differently
country, except the United States.
The laws over there are
punish the guilty, not protect
criminals.
During the past ten or fifteen years, many efforts have been
made to correct this obvious evil. But while there has been
considerable talk, little or nothing has been done.
And little will be done we fear, until tho people of this
country become sufficiently aroused to DEMAND it!
What Pricey Crime!
IN THIS connection it is interesting to note what Louis
MoHenry Howe, confidential secretary to President Roose
velt, wrote about this problem in the New York Herald Tribune,
two months ago.
He oallcd attention to the faot that a National Crime Com
mission was organized by the late Judge Gary, under the chair
manship of Richard Washburn Child, and later of Newton D.
Baker.
The organization was front pago news. The press hailed
this action as a groat step forward in stamping out crime, and
furthering prompt justice, but nothing was ever actually done.
QTATES were asked to pass remedial legislation. Not a single
state did so. A law against the private ownership of ma
chine giins, and strict regulation of the sale of firearms, were
demanded ; but machine gun are still being sold to all who wish
to buy, and anyone who wishes to pack a "gat" docs so.
Aocording to the author the reason was simply this ;
"Complete public apathy and indifference."
Not that the people of this country don't WISH orjme re
duced, but when it comes to taking definite action, they want
George to do it."
To quote :
The desire on tho part of our people to have crime reduced
Is not lacking: but apparently there Is a feeling that It la not
a matter which touches their lives or fortunes personally. Any
politician will tell you that unless an Issue Involve a voter
personally ho will not rtecomp really active In tho matter.
I am beginning to think that he will never really do any
thing about crime reduction until some passionately earnest '
leader of the William Jennings Bryan type arouses tho people
and keeps them aroused long enough to secure action.
We believe there is a lot of sense to that. What we need in
this crime business is personal and inspirod leadership.
Why there is none puzzles the author who certainly knows
his politics, as chief of staff in the Roosevelt administration.
I have always been pusaled at the fact that the reduction
of crime, so far as I know, has never been made a real Issue
by any candidate for public office. Politically speaking, it
would seem to be a sate and popular Issue. Yet there was
nothing about It In either party platform in the last election.
Occasionally the press in some city will take up a bad
situation and. instead of dropping it arter three or four days aa '
being no longer of Interest, will hang on to It until It Is
remedied. Some jesrs ago In Cleveland the papers for months
printed a dally record of casea brought to trial and what hap
pened to them. As a result the district attorney's office became
the most efficient In the country and the crime wave came to
an abrupt end In that particular city. This example points out
something else that Is necessary If we are to have real reduction
In crime a determined vigilance by the public as to what the
courts and tho district attorneys do in criminal cases.
Usually when the criminal Is found, the public considers
tho arrest a triumphant ending of the case, and only once
In a hundred tlmea Inquires later as to whether tho man was
actually convicted or not. Yet when a case, where the prisoner
escapee through one legal loophole or another, la brought to the
public's attention. It always brings a demand that "something
must bo done about It."
It Is. of course, eaxy to do something about It. It only
requires the leilslstures to be convinced that the public cares
about It hut la this over donor I DON'T REMEMBER ANT

A CRICK IN THE BACK
A man aged 43 yean leaned over
to pick hi baby up from the floor.
He says he did thla suddenly. The
Instant he raised
himself up with
the baby he felt
a terrific pain
back of the hip
toward the spine.
He could neither
s t ra 1 g hten up
fully, alt nor lie
down. He was
afraid to try to
move. This pain
and rigidity last
ed a whole day.
For two weeks
thereafter he was
compelled to squat sldewlse If he
had to reach down for anything
owing to the rjgldlty and pain in
the lower part of the back and be
hind the hip. For a year thereafter
he had much pain and disability.
and was never able to lift anything
to bend down without paying
dearly for the attempt In renewed
pain and lameness. It is now eight
years since the crick developed, and
he Is almost disabled for two or
three days whenever he makes an
attempt to lift anything.
Oh, yes, he adds that he has con
sulted half a dozen doctors ... we
must remember that all sorts ot
healers are called "doctors" these
days, so one never knows what brand
of charlatan the term may signify
. . . and some of them told him
"the lining covering my spine" is
what breaks, whatever that may be.
The man says that when this crick
In the back came he was physically
normal, but now he feels eighty
years old. He wonders If he can
possibly be his age again.
If the man were a woman I'd say
yes, Indeed. But I don't know about
the chances of rejuvenation for a,
man. I mean that the occurrence
thla man ' describes suggests sacro
iliac strain, sprain or, as our osteo
pathic colleagues call It, slipped in
nominate or subluxation of the sacro
iliac synchondrosis, which Is a ten
dollar word, but we can go higher
If you wish.
The sacro-illac Junction Is not a
true Joint, but Just the place where
the wing of the hip bone (Innomin
ate bone) Joins the base of the ;
spine (sacrum) on either side, to
form the bony pelvis. I have no
use for any physician who acknowl
edges himself bound by the tenets
of any school, but aside from that
I think we are Indebted to the osteo
paths for teaching us to recognize
strain or sprain of this sacro-lllac
Junction. Certainly our medical
teachers and the medical literature
Ignored this common disability until
the osteopathic brethren convinced
us that It does happen.
This particular strain or sprain Is
more likely to occur In women, for
loud for fear the opposition would
assure Its passage as It.
Ths chief local argument la that
the law aa dratted would kill busi
ness In honest securities aa well aa
In the crooked stuff. It Is also
claimed that the commercial paper
business would take a bad licking
Business men contend that the
bill hits corporation directors hard
er than It does Investment bankers
Directors would bo held liable for
any mistakes while financial spon
sors could only be sued if guilty
knowledire could be proven. But the
bankers would have to be a lot more
careful about their rakcotfs.
If ths bill passes as It stands
there will bo a sudden and violent
shrinkage In the number of corpor
ation directors.
The main hope here la that the
technical wrinkles can be Ironed out
before tho bill finally becomes law.
Tho chances are rated aa reasonably
good. Only a very email and hard
boiled minority opposes the purpose
of the bill.
The keenest local observers believe
that houseclcanlng In the security
business Is as Inevitable as among
the banks. Theyalso recognlrse the
political wisdom of a move which
meets mid western Ideas and
atrengthens ths president's hand in
that hard-hit territory.
The squawks from underwriting
houses might have been far louder
but tor a wide loophole In the bill.
It makes no provision for publi
cation of "expense accounts" in con
nection with new securities Issues.
That's the place where most of the
dirty work In the past came In. II
bankers had to pay "expenses" out
of their own pockets or accounts for
them there might be fewer bribes
to "persuade" corporations or foreign
governments to Issue securities.
One of tho large utility groups
may blow up at any moment. It
owes more than 80 000.000 to banks
and the banks are not in a lenient
frame of mind. Powerful financial
Interests with a auks In the group
are ' unable to come to the rescue
because they have too many troubles
of their own. The event win prob
ably expedite the utility mop-up.
The Liggett receivership Is directly
traceable to the bank holiday. Thel.
chain was doing pretty well with the
reduced rentals It had won until
customers stopped buying shaving I
eresm and lipsticks because they

the reason that at times the pelvic
structures In women become, well
less rigid and more easily strained
or sprained, especially about the
time of child-bearing. Women, too,
at least In the recent post, have
generally relied too much on splints,
corset and the like to support them
and hence they have more readily
neglected physical training and thus
their muscles, ligaments and other
skeletal tissues have become weaker,
flabbier, less capable of meeting
strains.
In many coses of sacro-lllac strain
or sprain Immediate manipulation by
the physician will reduce the slight
dislocation or slipping, and then the
application of a strong girdle of ad
hesive plaster around the pelvis be
low the crests of the hip bones, or In
some cases a plaster of Paris girdle,
will give tremendous relief at once
and enable the patient to move with
comparatively little pain. Later a
special wide belt may be used to
support the injured Junction for
several months.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
It Is Not a Bet
I dare you to print this In your
quack column. I bet $10 you will not
have the nerve. When I read your
article on nerves I took it to our
nerve specialist and he said: "Good
doctors do not write for the news
papers.' I don't see how they per
mit anyone so dumb as you v
(Two Readers, Man and Wife).
Answer Well, there It Is. and now
how can I collect my ten dollars un
less you get a nerve tonlo from your
nerve specialist and muster up cour
age to sign your name next time
you put me in my place? Hold
I'll give you the ten dollars If you
will give me the name and address
of the nerve specialist who made
the devastating comment. Maybe he
Is the elusive eminent nerve specialist
who still dares to string patients
along on a diagnosis of "nerve ex

what alls them. I don't believe there
Is such a specialist In good standing
In the medical profession. Please

Comment
on the
Day j News
By FRANK JENKINS, .
THE Akron, newest and largest
dirigible, follows the numerous
other airships of the Zeppelin type
to disaster, and 73 members of her
crew perish with her.
Chairman Vinson, of the house
naval affairs committee, announces
immediately that no more large air
ships will be constructed In America.
rIS a
perleno
wise decision, tor our ex
perience with dirigibles has been
disastrous. One after another has
been destroyed. Knowing when to
quit Is a good thing to know, and
it certainly looks like now Is the
time to quit building Zeppelln-type
airships.
IN Oakland, a big passenger plane
crashes Into a house, and 14 lives
are lost. A few days later, another
big plane crashes In Kansas. A few
days after that, there Is another
spectacular crash In Europe. Mow
comes the Akron.
Aviation has Its ups and downs,
The Jest few days have witnessed one
of the downs.
ROGRESS In aviation, however,
t will not stop because of these
disasters. Danger never yet stopped
ANYTHING that Involved real pro
gress.
MICHIGAN, the first of the states
to vote, goes for repeal of the
prohibition amendment by an over
whelming majority. Wisconsin,
these words are written, is expected
to follow along.
When 34 more states vote similarly,
repeal of the prohibition amendment
will be completed.
Please note use of "when1' instead
of "it." It may be taken for granted
that 34 more states WILL vote for
repeal. The pendulum is swinging
that woy.
T WILL continue to swing, in this
1 writer's Judgment, until It reaches
the other extreme. Before we are
through with It, in all probability,
we shall see the sale of liquor as
wide open as In the old days.
Mark this prediction; We shall not
be satisfied with wide open sale of
liquor, when It arrives, any more
than we have been satisfied with
prohibition.
The liquor question has never
been settled satisfactorily in the
world's history, and the chances are
It hasn't been satisfactorily settled
yet.
ME
E AN WHILE, here Is some good
advice for the days that are
coming: Those who are wise will
practice TEMPERANCE. Moderation
in the use of liquor la a mighty good
thing.
Excessive use of liquor, law or no
law, Is a bad thing. It always has
been, and It always will be.
THE next step
In the Roosevelt
program
for rehabilitation of
business by government aid Is re
financing of farm mortgages on I
somewhat lower scale of values and
at a considerably lower rate of ln-
tereat. '
This project, wo read, will require
a new bond Issue of something like
two billion dollars.
P agriculture i to bo put back on
t Its feet, there Is no denying the
Importance of refinancing of farm
mortgages on terms that can be met.
We can't have a prosperoua agrlcul'
tiire If farmera generally aro facing
foreclosure.
And we WANT a prosperous agri
culture. Without it we can't have
real Drcsoerltv anywhere in thla
country.
M
ANY of us, of course, are won-
ment financing Is going to lead us
to. How long csn the government
go on borrowing? . What will hsppen
when tho debt now being contracted
have to bo repaid? What will hap
pen to our hopes of lower taxation?
You can't answer these questions,
of course. NOBODY can. Only time
will tell.
t
BUT at least we have to remem
ber that the government la doing
practically all the financing that Is
being done theee days. , About all
ths securities that aro being bought
are government securities.
In other words, no more borrow
ing la being done now than In nor
mal times. Tho government la mere
ly doing all of It that la being done.
So, you see, the task of repaying
wbst tho government la borrowing
may be no greater than the task 01
repsying what private enterprise
would hsve borrowed If oondltlons
hsd been normsl.

Communications
Wyant Milk Depot Father
To the editor:
In the last Issue of the Jackson
ville Miner, a long article was writ
ten concerning the milk war, pur
porting to explain the origin and
placing tho responsibility. The writer
of the article was either wholly mis
Informed or else did some rather bum
guessing. As the father, instigator,
originator and establlsher of ths first
milk depot, I take the full respon
sibility and ths Idea was not sug
gested to me by Earl Fehl nor any
one else. In fact when I went to
rent space In the Ivy Street Market,
I did not even know that Earl Fehl
was its owner. I resorted to the
cash and carry plan for the sale of
my milk because the creameries had
for the past two years continued to
cut the price to the producer month
after month until they were paying
the producer eight to eleven cents
per gallon and continuing to sell
It to the consumer at forty cents
per gallon. My reason for resorting
to the milk depot plan was purely
for self preservation In order to be
able to feedmy cows and my fam
ily, which l" could not do on tho
price the creamery paid me which
was eight to eleven cents per gallon.
The plan has made It possible for
me to continue to milk my cows and
nas also made it possible for many
children to have milk who otherwise
would have been without.
