But I iJJf '1 when I first knew young buckaroo around hla fath er'a magazine of fice. One of those Inquisitive "tote" that made your right palm 1Mb. Harrla Merton Lyon and I ueod to send him to . the corner drug. $ store for a nlck- - el'a worth of O. O. Mclntyre rtwp oil or to a neighboring office to borrow their wall-paper atretoher. Like the ele phant, he never forgot. Reoently he lead that I suppressed a desire to be come a tympanlst. So by special messenger he sent a pair of snare drum-sticks. They are smoothly lacquered, fragile and be fore me Is the slick expanse of glass top desk I What I could do with a Bolero number! But 111 forget that. With things as they are, it's no time to frivol. The world Is too steep In frivol. What was It Addison said about friv ol? Or was It Addlsonf I cant remem ber a thing any more, o, yes, I know, be said frivolity Is a hand-maid of negligence. Don't you love Addison's stuff? He hits the nail right on the Jdskus. I suppose It's second childhood to be sitting trying to work and all the time stifling an urge to rat-a-tat with drum sticks. Yet most of my tragic life has been devoted to urge stifling. No sooner does an urge get Its head above water than I hit It wltm an oar. Just yesterday, with aU I had to do, I stopped soven different times to stifle urges. The day before that I stifled only three but the best of tillers is liable to have an off day. If my wife sees those drum sticks they'll take a header out the window. She had better quit throwing my play-things away. The neighbors are talking. There wore those trick drib ble water glasses I bought for a din ner party. Where are they? In some ash can I suppose. Yet she'll never let me haul off and be funny. Those are the kind of women men stick to. Well, I must be thinking up pearls to scatter. The big thing about this job of columnlng Is to keep the read er Interested. One of those sticks Is longer than the other. Mo, tthe same sl, hut the way they were laying It looked so. As 1 was saying, keep the reader Interested. Let him feel you are his pal. A reader like that would never throw your drum sticks out a window. Take, for Instance, one of these ticks. This one I Just picked up. What did It ever do to anyone but give them a snatch of happiness? A little rhythm to the monotony of life. Look tattle-de-at-tat-tatl Walt until 1 get the other and show you on the side of this metal waste-4)Aakot. How's that and I never had a lesson In my life. I never got to do things like other boys. The radiator la even better for tympenlng. I'll just start oft In a simple march step. Like this tap. tap. tap-tap-tap I Then I'U swing to a waltz. Getting better every min ute, too. See, I'm standing on one foot. Aw, aw, listen to this picket fence effect When I rake the stick across the radiator. Who'll have a Horton? That macaw down stairs la knock ing on the pipes. I suppose It annoys him him and his waxed mustache. If It's such a mustsche why does he wax It? Anyway, this lamp stand bar Is just as good for my purpose. It has a nlos nuance, if you know what I mean. All drummer boys talk fancy that way expressing out art. Now. I'll skip over to this little pretty-pretty on the mantle. This fragile little vase I mean. Lightly It broke. Can't take It. What I'd like to have Is an empty top bureau drawer. Upside down on the floor you almost have a drum. Lots of husbands could have a drum of their own. I'll bet there are even some who could have a drum room. But I have to sneak around tapping anything I can find sticking out. And bid my drum snick. The ought to Where' Is the Dictatorship? A curious thing has happened in our national Ufa, A short while ago this country fought and won a war to make the world safe for democracy. We defended that principle of government at cost of lives of many of our finest youths, and at sacrifice of much treasure. So highly did we hold democracy that we endangered our national existence In Its defense. In our cour age and enthusiasm we said: "Olve us democracy or give us death." This successfully fought war to make the world safe for democracy bred an economic trouble that la as bad, our stateemen tell us, ss the war Itself. But democracy, we are also told. Is -Impotent to combat successfully the economic aftermatch of the war to preserve democracy. We should therefore replace democracy with dictatorship, and we proceed to abandon democracy lest we may lost the national life which, so short a while ago, we said wss not worth having without democracy. A curious thing has happened In our national life. 'EBY neatly put! But there is another side of the picture, which should be included, in fairness to President Roosevelt, and to allow a clear understanding of just has happened. In the sense that Mussolini President is not a dictator and ing one. He HAS' asked for extraordinary powers, and has been granted them. But these powers have all been granted UNDER the law and the constitution, The Mail Tribune believes the granting of such powers to be both desirable and necessary. Such action, does not show the failure of democracy, but might be termed its resilency and durability under stress. I IAD our constitutional form of government been less ad' justable, the present crisis would have brought either an absolute dictatorship or a complete crash. Ere this, Roose velt would have either been another Mussolini, or another man looking for a job. As it is, he is still President using the powers the legislative the' legality of which, the judicial branch will undoubtedly sustain. ' ' TRUE, the sort of government under which we live today, in Tint t.hA sort of rnvArnmflnf. va livprl iinrli. tn vpArfl ago, nor the sort of government our governmental founders anticipated. But the conditions today are ten years ago, and no one not have FORSEEN such conditions. But those same founders however, buildcd wiser than they knew. They made this a government of checks and balances on one hand ; but they also made it a government of tremend- uous adjustment and adaptability, on the other. , , So the present situation instead of demonstrating democraoy is impotent, demonstrates that the American form of democracy at least, is quite the reverse.1 The battle is far from over, the crisis hasn't passed. But to date we are doing pretty well thank you, with our form of government INTACT, and our President, under the law and the constitution, supplying the leadership, political skill, and courage, we. firmly believe will assure victory in the end. We Like Their Tax Money WE ALL dislike to pay money to big corporations j but we don't object to taking money from them. . At the present moment the big corporations in Jackson county are handing over money to the people of this county via the tax office. The Southern Paoifio during the post year, paid nearly $40,000, Copco $54,000, the telephone company $7000 a total of over $100,000 or over $200,000 FOR THE YEAR. Just what we woujd do without this tax money at the present time, ia hard to figure out. Yet many of us ourse out these public utilities regularly and pray for publio ownership and operation, which of course would take thom immediately off the tax rolls. We know the stock answer to this: "But we would have lower rates." NO doubt. But WOULD the total saving in rates, amount to over $200,000 a yeart With politics in publio utility operation, would the quality of service be improved or lowered! No, we own no stock in Copco. Copco owns no stock in this newspaper. We believe local favor a reduction as strongly as anyone. But are still from Missouri when we are told publio own ership and operation of publio utilities will solve all our in dustrial, eoonomio and sooial ills. If generally adopted, our ills, be glad I never had a hanker tor a bull fiddle. Anyway I dont feel well. Being under a strain this way la li able to bring on a spell of hloeups. I'U hsve to tip-toe around and shut myself In closets while I swallow them. Bu-burpl There goes a hiccup now and It'll be disturbing everybody and everything. (Copyright. less. McNaught Syndi cate, Ine.) t Communications Hit Mooney Case To the Editor: The) editorial entitled The Mooney Cam Agnln" 1b bo good and so bad that we feel obliged to make aome comment. We too, are tired of the Mooney e, alto the Judd esse, the local rumpus. In fact, many ttmea we be come tired of the whole comedy call ed life. This however la no excuse for laying down on the Job and we consider it to be not alone a duty but a paying proposition, for the good of all, to oppose error wherever found. We think that any one giving the Mooney case careful consideration. will be convinced a grave Injustice has been done. Doubtless those guilty of this blot on our legal tribunal are tired also and would Uke to drop the matter If they could do so in a graceful manner. But as soon as one steps over the line between light and wrong complications Immediately arise which could never have been anticipated and one la Involved In difficulties from which there is no escape except by a complete and UaOiouhgoUig retraction. l In Just what this "curious thing" is that or Hitler are dictators, the there is no danger of his becon NOT in violation of either. its inherent strength, what of the United States, only branch has delegated to him, NOT the same as they were even our forefathers, could power rates are too high and we fear, would only increase. another case of having "a bear by the tail." The powers that were Instrumental In convicting Mooney do not want him pardoned, for to many, that would be an admission of his Inno cence. The commutation of his sent, ence was proof of doubt sufficient to have granted him a new trial. This was not wanted for fear of exposing some tin ing. Friends and foes alike admit that Mooney Is In prison because he Is a menace, a menace because he advo cates a plan that Interferes with the exploitation of masses of laborers for the depraved gratification of a few profiteers. The oft-heard assertion that Mooney Is an advocate of direct action la very elastic and In the aver age mind may mean anything from murder and arson to birth control. In reality this said un-American direct action stuff Is nothing more than cooperative marketing of human labor. Our doctors, merchants, law yers and bankers are using the same method. It is true some strikes have been accompanied by violence and bloodshed, oaused by acta of Individ ual members. Some of the profes sion gentlemen referred to are none too scrupulous to resort to the same tactics were they as numerous, as hungry and as hard pressed aa the army of the un-employed and caught someone scabbing on their business regulations. As to the poor radicals, abonlna tlon of desolation wherever they may stand. Like all our other human troubles, they are made not born. Remove the cause and you remove them. This Is the best way and the only way. At least until convinced otherwise, this Is the opinion of BJtRT HARR, Jacksonville, Ore, May 4. 18M.

I cannot express the total good 2 have gleaned from your teachings. I would pay ten times the cost of the paper Just to get your (All right, all right, Just keep your subscription paid up and 111 try to stick with you another six teen years.) published a few !1 weeks ago about the cause of drowning said that cramps are not sufficient to account for drowning of good swimmers. Sev en or eight years ago you expressed the theory that the, cause of drowning In such cases might be "from the splashing of water against the ear drum, washing away the wax, causing the nerves to become paralyzed, es pecially those nerves in the thigh, re sulting In cramps, legs Jock-knifing, and sinking of the body." I liked that teaching. It seemed entirely plaus ible. Now It seems you no longer con sider that an explanation of these sudden drownings of strong swim mers. (M. P. I.) If you are quoting my teaching, view or theory of seven or eight years ago from memory, I think you have It confused with something else. If you quote from the printed page, cer tainly It Is not mine. I must repeat now that few phy sicians give much credence to the hypothetical "cramps" that people assume as the explanation of such drowning. The only "cramp" of which we know la that which occurs after prolonged effort In very cold water, and this loss of power in the muscles (all the muscles) Is only partial, scarcely sufficient to account for drowning. Many persons with normal ears suffer vertigo or acute dizziness or giddiness if some cold water Is squirt ed or allowed to run Into the ear. Persons with perforation of an ear drum are still more sensitive to the Impact of cold water. It Is not un OF HEALTH ASSOCIATION E The drive of the Jackson County Publio Health association for mem berships was progressing well yester day as more citizens became aware of the need for funds to carry on the splendid work - accomplished through the association. The amount of good derived from the dollar through the health asso ciation channels was emphasized by the workers by reference to figures recently released regarding the most healthy communities In the nation. The 38 healthiest cities average an expenditure of 91.44 per capita in health work. In Jackson county the cost per capita is 2 cents. Yet this community, although not one of the 38 henlthlest, has a fine health rec ord. With the obtalnance of more funds for a higher expenditure In health work, the leaders pointed out, they would be able to bring the Jack son county health record to an un usually high level. WET CANDIDATES FILE CONVENTION PLACES A. O. Nimnger, of ' and At torney George Bober r ; .edford, re publicans, and Atton.wd Edward O. Kelly and Raw lea Moore, democrats, both of Medford, have filed as wet candidates for tthe state constitution al convention to vote on the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Both wet and dry candidates to tne convention will be voted upon at a special election to be held In July, and will hold their convention shortly afterwards. Dry organizations have not named candidates, as yet, but It Is under stood that dry candidates will file. Fred Cotvlg. of Medford, was named temporary chairman of the county wet forces at a meeting of wets held recently. Michigan, Wisconsin and Rhode Island are the only three states to vote on the repeal of the national prohibition act so far and all three went overwhelmingly wet. 1 Jenkins' Comment (Continued from Page One) IP THS boys are wise, they won't shoot TOO MUCH. Congress might hear of lt And congress, you know. Is In the mood Just now to try almost anything. If all this talk gets back to Washing ton a bill might go booming through the house and senate some fine day and by nightfall It would be aa ille gal to have a baby as to take a drink of hard Ukker. Then. If human nature worked ac cording to schedule, babies would soon be so numerous there wouldn't be room to put 'em all.

All applicants must be signed by May 8, 1933, according to A. D. OoUtor, Quartermaster, Brady, M.D. reasonable that some such sudden vertigo from the entrance Into the cold water may account for sudden helplessness that leads to drowning In certain cases. For this reason it Is a good prac tice to Insert in each ear canal a loose packing of wool or of oily or greasy cotton batting or raw cotton (not absorbent) before you go in swimming. To be sure, if there Is a considerable amount of the normal cerumen or ear wax In the ear canal near the drum this serves as a fairly effective protection against the en trance of water. But you never know how little wax there may be In your ears. 8o much depends on the amount you waggle your Jaw and wiggle your ears. Besides the two factors mentioned, it seems likely that exhaustion from prolonged violent effort against wind, wave or strong current may be a fac tor In some cases of Inexplicable drowning of good swimmers.

UNABLE TO SHAKE STATE' JEST10NY (Continued from Page One) "Come and get this, and take It to the state police, please." Williams testified he walked across the street, and upon the porch of the Banks home. Mrs. Banks asked him: "Take this to the state police." Prescott's Body Seen The oil company worker read the top line, which read: "Come and get George Prescott." Williams asked, "Where Is George?" Mrs. Banks Inclined her head, and said "Over there." He gazed In the indicated direction and saw the body of Constable Prescott, who he had known for many years. Williams then asked. "Who killed him?" Mrs. Banks, he swore, replied: "WE DID. He tried to break Into our home." Williams then testified, he took the note, written on a piece of cardboard, to Lieut. Dunn, standing at Main and Quince streets. Lieut. Dunn, he testified read the writing and hand ed the note back to htm. At this Juncture, Williams testi fied, Gordon Kershaw, who was stand ing across the street, on the lawn, Joined him and Lieut. Dunn and asked: "Tommy, can I have that note." The witness said, he replied: "Take It. I don't want it." Note Ulven O'Brien With Kershaw, he. then walked to where Sergeant James O'Brien was standing, and Kershaw gave him the note. Two days later, Williams said he was called to the state police sta tion, and signed a statement, telling of the dramatic episode. The note, read to the Jury, by As sistant Attorney General Moody, was as follows: "Come and get George Prescott and you will be all right. Then proceed in order. Mrs. Banks." Attorney Lonergan quizzed Wil liams most of the afternoon, but was unable to cause him to alter any essential detail of his testimony. The witness came out of the matching of wits with flying colors. The court ruled that the note and the Incidents were applicable only to Mrs. Banks, but not binding upon her husband, L. A. Banks. It was the first time during the state's case that the wife has been linked defin itely as an alleged accessory in the murder. She listened Intently to every word of the testimony. The cross-examination of Williams ended Just before court adjourned for the day. At the morning session Attorney Lonergan subjected Sergeant James O'Brien to a long and gruelling cross-examination. The state police I detective gave highly damaging testl- I mony to the defense's cause, being the only companion of the slain of ficer on his last official mission. Asked In a question, by defense counsel, if he dldnt place the weapons found In the Banks home. the table where they were pho tographed, the state policeman re peated heatedly: "Absolutely not." At another stage of the proceed ings, Sergeant O'Brien stated In re sponse to a query: The door was closed. Had It been open I would have entered. Another Man Seen There was another man In the room when the shot was fired?" ask ed Attorney Lonergan.

(Associated Press Photo) "Yes," replied the witness. 'He was running or hurrying towards the rear of the house. I did not know who he was at the time, but after wards learned he was E. A. Fleming of Jacksonville." Attorney Lonergan asked a score of questions, relatWe to why the bench warrants were placed in the hands of the slain constable Instead of the sheriff, and referred to the grand Jury session that brought the Indict ments being held in a room other 'than the regular grand Jury room. The defense, during the trial has several times given hints that It questioned the legality of the Indict ments received by Circuit Judge W. M. Duncan of Klamath county. County Clerk Carter was questioned on this point, . Sergeant O'Brien also heatedly de nied the inference of the defense counsel's query relative to what he saw when he looked through the door window of the Banks home. "You did not see Banks actually fire the shot?" asked Lonergan. "No," replied the witness, "but I saw Mr. Banks standing with a rifle levelled at the door. I heard him say, "Look out!" and as I ducked and attempted to push and pull Mr. Pres cott away heard the explosion." Not Entry Attempt When Attorney Lonergan at an other point in the cross-examination asked O'Brien if he and the slain officer had not shoved against the door with their shoulders, the wit ness raised his voice to reply, "POSI TIVELY NOT." Frank Perl, coroner of Jackson county was the first witness called at the afternoon session. Attorney Lonergan quizzed the official heated ly, on why the state police, instead of himself, as the "duly elected cor oner," had removed Prescott's pistol from the body and had not retained possession of It. Coroner Perl Identified four frag ments of leads, aa part of a bullet removed from Prescott's body at an autopsy, held the afternoon of the murder. Henry W. Conger, former coroner,. testified that the autopsy was held at his chapel. He was the second state witness to be excused without cross-examination. Hla testimony was brief. Dr. B. C. Wilson, former countv physician, testified to the nature and location of the bullet wound that killed Prescott. Kelly on Stand E. E. Kelly, Medford attorney, ap peared to testify to the vicious ef fectiveness of the high-powered game rifle that Banks fired. Kelly testified that he could not qualify as a gun expert, but "did know guns" from military and hunt ing experience. Kelly said that the cartridges taken from the Banks rifle were soft-nosed bullets and tha they differed from steel-Jacketed bullets ordinarily used by hunters and by soldiers. The soft-nosed bullet. At torney Kelly testified, had a tend ency to mushroon, when It hit a bone, and was prohibited by the rules of war. TWO SHOPLIFTERS ASSESSED FINES John Slgedl snd Z. T.

Wolf will be bound over to the grand Jury on the first degree mur der charge, and will remain in Jail as first degree murder Is a non-ball-able offense, officers said. He will be arraigned for preliminary hearing Monday, at 10 o'clock, before 'Justice of the Peace William Coleman. An autopsy was held yesterday af ternoon at Coroner Perl's, and of ficers went to the scene of the trag edy to take pictures and further in vestigate the shooting. Mrs. Wolf Is not being held, officers said. Wolf shot his alleged rival when he found his wife and Sheldon walk ing side by side near the trail lead lne from the Wolf home to the naa- ' turn vTiata thalr vor tt? trant.. end where Mrs. Wolf went each night tc milk the cow. Sheldon had been helping Mrs. wolf across the creek, and had been walk ing up the trail with her, for some time. Wolf said", and neighbors had told him of seeing the two together. Wolf said his wife had talked of "packing up her things and leaving. If she had enough money." Upon learning that his wife had gone to milk the cow Thursday eve ning, accompanied by Sheldon, Wolf started after them and overtook them near the pasture, as they were leav ing the trail, he said. After a brief fight, rolf said his pistol went off, and Sheldon fell dead. He called the officers and awaited their arrival. TAX PAYMENTS COME IN FLOOD With several hundred tax payments made by mall still to be opened and tabulated, tax collections for he first half year yesterday exceeded $259. 000. according to figures from the sheriff's office.
