President Roosevelt planned to take the air Sunduy night
and tell the people his views on voteran relief)
The report was correct. That is what the President told
the press boys. But he made no talk over the radio last night,
on veteran relief or anything else.
Whyf Because he didn't need to. That suggestion was
enough. As a matter of fact, there was a majority in both
houses of congress, in favor of increasing the veterans' "econ
omy" allowance 10 per cent that is a 15 instead of a 25 per
cent reduction. The very efficient veterans' lobby had the
boys all steamed up.
President Roosevelt opposed such aotion. He insisted upon
his 25 per cent reduction, "All right," his leaders moaned,
"you are due for a two to one
"Fine," returned the President, "I will talk over the radio
to the people Sunday night."
That was enough. The boys

It's a curious thing. In business matters, the people, as a
whole, are pretty hard to fool.
here and thero one can find victims of the old army game,
buyors of gold bricks, bogus bonds and stocks, worthless
gadgets, put over by high-powered sales talk, at a profit of
several hundred percent.
But the sucker list is small, and steadily growing smaller.
When the people have to hand over their good money, they
stop, look and listen, they don't as a rule, pay their money
first and kick themsclvos afterward.
But when it comes to politics, the oldest flim-flam of
them all similar prudonce and perspicacity, are woefully
laoking.
SLICK and unprincipled politicians, with nothing but the gift
of gBb, still have their lengthy sucker lists, and still work
their racket, time without end. The graft is exposed onoe,
only to be put over, in a slightly different fashion, a second,
then a third and a fourth time. THE GULLIBILITY OP
THEIR VICTIMS IS SIMPLY INEXHAUSTIBLE.
JACKSON County now has a practical demonstration of this.
For many years but particularly during the past three or
four years, certain slick, unprincipled politicians, with nothing
but the gift of gab and a total disregard of the truth, have
been flim-flamming the poople of this section of Oregon.
They have repeatedly claimed our local government has
been crooked, oorrupt and criminal, they have repeatedly
charged thoir opponents in publio life with being dishonest,
and venal, thoy have time and again maintained that all this
community needed to have a perfect government, a govern
ment lily white and above reproach, was to defeat their op
ponents and place THEM in power.
,
WELL, at the last elootion SOME of these apostles of pol
itical and moral perfection WERE placed in power. And
because they were and ONLY because they were Jackson
County has suffered the most inefficient, wasteful, and deplor
able administration of affairs in the offices they controlled,
ever recorded in the history of this section of the state.
And yet in the face of theso facts facts which can't be
denied, there are people, how many no one knows but cer
tainly SOME, who are still falling for the same graft all over
again. They are not only falling for the same graft but the
same sort of talk the same sort of lies and falsehoods and
flim-flam, put out in the same old way.
"THE situation would be laughable, if the dangers to this
community were not so serious.
All that is needed to restore this community to its rightful
place as one of the finest in the state, on the entire coast for
that matter, is for Jhe people as a whole, to exercise the same
care and prudence toward political salesmen, that thoy would
exercise toward commercial salesmen. Not believe what they
any until they check up on their claims, not fall for their guff
until they go to the records, find out what is true and what
isn't.
That's all. Just common prudence and a little horse sense.
Just looking the horse over before you put up your cash.
But that is precisely what the people of Jackson County
who are still on the politicians' sucker list refuse to do I

RIGHT FOOT, LEFT FOOT, TOE FIRST, THEN THE HEEL.
A writer purporting to be a "physi
cal culture expert" advises readers
that in walking the heel should strike
the ground first,
then the ball or
the foot.
An Instructor
In physical edu-
00 M cation avers that
' r W th "-nj.rt" evi
dently knows lit
tle of the kines
iology of gym
nastic. (Kinesi
ology, we might
explain for the
benefit of plain
folk. Is the scien
tific study of muscular movements).
The teacher goes on to explain that
In walking the ball of the foot should
touch the ground first and the heel
an Instant afterward.
Scientifically and theoretically the
teacher Is right, I believe. But If
you wear high heels It is almost Im
possible to walk naturally.
The physical education teacher
points out that If the heel strikes
the ground first the step loses Its
elasticity and there is a shock of sud
den impact transmitted from heel to
hip and perhaps through the spine up
to the brain itself.
Again I don't know about the shock
to the brain. I suspect that is Just
a notion conjured out of the atmos
phere by a nimble wltted salesman.
It Is enough to acknowledge that
when the heel strikes the ground
first the step Is robbed of Its elasticity
and Its grace.
So much for heels or shoes. No
matter what the heels are made of
or whether they are one inch or three
Inches high. .
If you must wear heels, the lower
the he.-: the better, for general
health, comfort and grace of move
ment. But If you are accustomed to
high heels It is better not to switch
suddenly to low heels or heelless foot
wear. If you do you are likely to
suffer an actual strain, much like a
sprain of the tarsus or forefoot. Come
down to earth by easy stages, having
the heels lowered moderately, week
by week, till you get 'em on the
ground without discomfort.
Girls who wear low heeled sport
shoes or similar footwear as a rule,
may put on the highest heela for a
heavy date, without 111 effect. As
long as they get back to their health
footwear at least a few hours in the
day the freak shoes will do no groat
harm.
Likewise when women decide to
change to low heels or, heelless foot
wear; If they will get back on the
stilts for a few hours each day, they
will suffer less foot strain.

World Golf CUnniplon.
(A Told to Alnn Gould)
No matter whether It's In a na
tional ohamplonshlp or a club tour
nament, you can't win with "lxe
or sevens" on your golf card.
Right away you probably will re
mind mo that Bobby Jones won the
1020 National Open championship de
spite a couple of sevens on his last
round. That la quite true, but It also
la true that Jones was lucky to
squeeze out a tie with Al Esplnosa
that day and get a second chance to
win the title In a playoff. It's the
exception that proves the rule.
railed tn "Finesse"
. In that same tournament, If I had
not taken several bad sixes, on com
paratively easy holes. I would have
been the winner.
That was one of the things that
led me to study my cards. I found
that my chances of winning four open
championships had been "blown,"
within a period of six years, because
I had alxes or sevens on my cards.
How did I take these sixes and
sevens? I'll tell you. I failed to "fi
nesse," and by that I mean the same
thing that happens so often at the
bridge table.
In other words, If I had been will
ing to sacrifice distance and make
the proper, sensible play. Instead of
trying to "shoot the works" when In
difficulties, I would have achieved
better results.
Heller Not to Gamble.
I do not mean to say that a man
playing for a national championship
should not take chances at times, but
there arc Important occasions when,
tujcrcuon is me Detter part of valor.
Por Instance. If I am In the woods,
with a long and dangerous carry to
the green, my best bet la to take the
penalty, play safely for a four or five,
rather than gamble on a three and
wind tip taking a six or seven.
My cards for 144 holes of play in
the British and American open cham
pionships last year showed only one
sis and no sevens. That one alx was
due to a careless pitch to the green
at Presh Meadow. It was trapped.

The strain comes from the unac

and the unaccustomed flexion or

To rest the feet, sit with the feet
(not the legs) crossed at the instep,
and let both feet rest on their outer
borders on the floor.
To strengthen the feet and oppose
weak foot or flat foot, endeavor to

CLEAR DECKS FOR
TRIAL OF BALLOT
(Continued trom Page One)
ited to the seating capacity of the
courtroom, it has been announced.
Theft on Recount Eve
The ballot thefts occurred on the
night of February 20 last, during
and after a meeting of the "Good
Government congress," In the court
house. - The afternoon previous, the
court had ordered a recount of the
November ballots cast for sheriff, be
tween Gordon L. Schermerhorn and
former Sheriff Ralph G. Jennings, a
"write-In" candidate. Schermerhorn,
on the face of the returns was elect
ed by 127. When court attendants
and lawyers went to get the ballots
the following morning, the crime was
discovered, automatically ending the
recount. Ballot containers from 48
of the 58 Jackson county precincts
were taken, totaling between 8,000
and 10,000 votes.
A week later warrants were issued
for the arrest of the following,
charged with the crime, later to be
Indicted:
