Fifty yeara ago. the memory of the
Civil War was still burned deeply Into
.unU'i minds
Today, that wound has healed. Even
the scar haa almost disappeared.
.t. It has. for the
I healing of thla wound has left ua
a united country, Pt because of Its
unity.
rn.mn. nurses lta wounds and cher
ishes lt ancient hates, keeping them
vividly alive through the centuries.
nii..(n lta wounda and cherishing
lta hates have brought Europe noth
ing but grief and trouble.
Let us hope that we ahall always
be wise enough to avoid Europe's mis
takes in thla respect.
-,, . untitled, the
civil War was. It waa fought In
, order to bring to nd grtit tvtt
' the institution of human slavery.
Those who died In the Civil War died
In a Just cause.
Tt waa a hard struggle, a bitter
etrugsl. a bloody struggle, hut what
waa fought for was worth fighting
for.
r g world war was an Infinitely
harder struggle than our own
Civil War. It waa far costlier in blood
treasure.
Fifteen yeara after lta end, we won
der if Its result were worth tne cosi.
Germany, to he aure. was balked In
her determination to conquer the
world, but France has risen to dom
inance in Oermany'a place.
Aa a war to end war, it was a dis
mal failure. The threat of war In
Europe is Just aa menactng as ever.
THtS writer, for' one. hopes that In
the future we stay out of Eur
ope's wars. We have no place In
them.
SPEAKING of wra, here la a head
line In the day's news: "East
Joins Wert In Call for New World
Peace."
Sounds good, dceen't It? Oivea the
Impression that a world that haa been
amazingly foolish and ehort-aighted
In the paat la coming to lta senses at
last, recognising the folly of war and
determining to rid Itself of this an
eient curse.
It sounds good, but doeant mean
much. Peace talk will last until some
nation's Interest or what th diplo
mats profess to believe Is lta Interest
la menaced, then war will loom
again.
That sounds like a cynical state
ment, but it tent far from the truth.
HEBE in this country, we talk much
of foreign trade. IX we ever get
Into another -war. It will be because
of foreign trade.
And the cost of the war. In money
and eufferlng. will far outweigh all
the benefit we may hare gained out
of foreign trade.
That, at least, la the opinion of this
humble citizen, who is no pacifist,
haa no use for pacifism, believe In
adequate preparedness, both as to
army and nevy, but la under no de
lusiona as to the foolishness of war.

LOCAL AIRPORT
TANT
y FLYING
That the Medford airport occupies
a strategic place in the air map of
the U. S- army air corps, and because
of Its location midway between San
Francisco and Portland, and at the
north end of the Sisklyous, will be
of increasing importance as time goes
on, was the word brought today, by
Brigadier General Oscar Westover, In
command of the army air fleet, which
landed here today, en route from
March Field. California, to Seattle,
for five d.ys maneuvers.
General Westover and his staff we'n
tendered a luncheon at the Hotel
Medford at noon today by the cham
ber of commerce, attended by about
fifty representative business men.
General Westover gave a very in
teresting explanation of the present
trip and its purposes, which are
essentially to give his staff practical
knowledge of the air routes along
the Pacific coast, to determine proper
places for airdromes, concentration
points, and general atmospheric as
well as ground conditions.
The speaker was high in his praise
of Medford and its airport, as well
as the courtesies extended, and in
elaborating upon local advantages
mentioned the present excellent air
port, the freedom from severe storms,
the convenient altitude, snd other
natural advantages to air transporta
tion .
He also said that the army air corps
is particularly interested in the Pa
cific coast, and is studying this region
constantly, not In expectation of war
soon, but to be prepared in every
way, whenever war should come. He
left no doubt in his hearers minds,
that not only in war flying, but n
peace flying, not only from a military
standpoint, but from an Industrial
standpoint, Medford was bound to
occupy an important place In future
aviation.
Floyd Hart, world war flying ace,
presided, and Introduced President
Bolger of the chamber of commerce,
who gave the visitors a welcoming
address on behalf of the chamber of
commerce.
The fleet had three weeks mass
maneuvers in California and will have

headquarters, via Pasco and Salt Lake
City.

JUDGE SKIPWORTH
HERE JUNE 6IH 10
SET BALLOT CASES
Defendants Have Right to
Ask Separate Trials and
Are Expected to Do So
Banks to Pay Operation
Circuit Judge George F. Skipworth
of Lane county, who presided at the
Banks murder trial In Eugene, has
announced that he will be here next
Tuesday, June 6. to hear pleas and
set date for trial for the defendants
in the Jackson county ballot theft
cafes, and hear pleas. If any.
The defendants have the right to
request separate trials, though Joint
ly indicted, under Oregon law, and It
Is anticipated they will do so.
A change of venue Is not likely.
Attorneys hold that under Oregon
law. all rmist concur in the venue
motion. This Is held Improbable, ss
eight of the 22 indicted men have
entered pleas of guilty.
During the visit of Judge Skip
worth next week, it Is expected that
the decks will be cleared of all legal
preliminaries preparatory to the
actual trial.
Ranks to Pay Doctor
Reports from Eugene today stated
that Banks himself would pay for
the proposed operation, his physician,
Dr. O. B. Donahue holds Is needed to
remedy a kidney and glandular trou
ble. Dr, Donahue was. quoted as say;
ing. "something will have to be done
soon.".
As soon as the ballot cases are
disposed of, the state plans to take
up the case of Henrietta. B. Martin,
president of the socalled "Good Gov
ernment congress", and aide to
Banks In his agitation moves.
Mrs. Martin is indicted for riotous
and' disorderly conduct, as the re
sult of an attack with a buggy whip
on Leonard N. Hall, editor of the
Jacksonville Miner, February 17 last.
Indicted as aides of Mrs. Martin, are
L .O. Van Wegan and E. L. Fitch,
reputed "congressmen". .
Brown Trial Soon
0. H. Brown, secretary of the
"Good Government congress," and
father of Mrs. Martin, indicted for
"slandering a bank," is also sched
uled to be brought to trial as soon
as possible.
Criminal syndicalism charges,
growing out of the Banks-stirred tur
moil will be heard after the above
matters have been concluded.
A syndicated letter from Salem, the
past week, contained the information
that Governor Julius L. Meier, had
detailed undercover agents to report
to him on conditions In this county.
They have been working for a couple
of months, unbeknownst to the gen
eral public, it is reported.
Many r v. .nor Afloat
The past month many fantastic
rumors have been In circulation, par
ticularly In the rural areas. One bit
of gossip claimed that the state had
no desire to prosecute the ballot
theft cases, "as they have no esse."
The other claimed, "Jimmy O'Brien
has confessed he did not see Banks
shoot, so he will get a new trial."
The first rumor was circulated In the
Phoenix district, and the other In
the Applegate, extensively. The
"confession yarn has been traced to
its source. Another rumor, that
failed to make much headway, de
clared that Banks had been "acquit
ted, but the subsidized press wss
keeping It dark and the public would
learn the truth when Banks came
back and paid all his debts."
Reports brought to county officials
Indicate that the rural public "has
quit believing every wild report it
hears."

day, when; Chief of Police Clatous
McCredle and Sheriff Walter J. Olm

A brief, appropriate address was
given by Circuit Judge Harry D.
Norton, and hundreds of Jackson

In the automobile with her daughter,
Mrs. Nota Henderson of Sslem, and
her son; Paul. . . - '
Judge Korton spoke of the privi
lege given him to address those as
sembled, and In his opening remarks
stated: "It Is the natural Impulse
of such an occasion to eulogize the
personality and character of the per
son we are to memorialise, but the
brief time allotted on the program,
makes this impossible."
Given Food for Thought
He referred to the monument as
a marker to tell the story to future
generations, and said he wished to
say a few things that would be food
for thought;
"Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettys
burg address, in which he said that
all men are created equal, was the
greatest message ever presented to
the people of any nation founded on
the principles of equality of man'
Judge Norton said.
"To carry out that principle of
equality, it Is up to every man to
you and me to see that the funda
mental principles of citizenship and
the rights of men are upheld. Every
citizen should exercise his rights In
the light of the rights of every other
Individual," the Judge declared.
Personal sacrifice wss emphasized
by Judge Norton, and he stressed the
fact thst each one must sacrifice for
the good of many.

Senators Couzena and Glass nearly
came to blows In a private session
the dsy. before the open blowup
came. Other senators intervened and
calmed them down. The trouble on
the Inside was that they dtd not let
Glass In on what was going to hap
pen ahead of time. He was fussing
around with his bank bill when the
inquiry data was being prepared. He
did not ask about anything, and
nobody told him.
Glass Is more sensitive than an
ordinary person and resented It
deeply. He got the idea they were
putting Morgsn on the rack.
His objections were so unsound
that his friends went around for
dsys asking: "What Is the matter
with Olass?"
Glass did not know it but the man
behind the guns In the Morgan expo

The Michigan senator learned both
Republicans and Democrats were in

CHICAGO, May 29. Well,
the big Chicago fair opened on
time. It had to open on tima
to give everybody making
those long speeches a chance to
get 'em over before it closed.
Even the preacher who was
supposed to ask the . blessing
stunk long enough to continue
it into the doxology.
But it was worth , all the
praying and talking for. Only
one thing, they had thousands
of policemen to block you off
Ht every street to see that you
didn't get into it. At that
there was 40,000 got by the
police and got in. My old
friend Brisbane couldn't get in
till he used Walter Winchell's
card.
I sneaked in inside Amon
Carter's silk hat me and 12
other mice. If there is any
where in the world you want
to go in a crowd, get an old
silk hat, the mangier the bet
ter. Toliceraen and w&hers have
more respect for it than a gold
engraved card from President
Roosevelt. But it's a great fair.
Don't miss it.
