ITniEN losses in the Battle of the 'Wilderness were rrt'eu- larly severe, General U, S. Grant wired President Lincoln at the White HouBe: "I propoa to f ght It out on this line. If It take all um merl" He did. Shortly after, Richmond fell, Lee surrendered, peace was signed1 slavery was forever abolished and the union was saved for his and future generation. TPHAT is, we are sure, the reaction of the state and local law enforcement agencies, to this first reverse in their effort to bring law violators in this community to justice, and make Southern Oregon safe for its law-abiding and self-respecting citizens. They are going to fight It out, on the line already taken, if it takes all summer. No issue is finally settled until it is settled RIGHT. And this issue is not settled, until respect for our courts is re-established; until those who would defy the courts, incite violence, and through destruction of ballots, destroy the very founda tions of the free government under which we live are convinced by legal action, that such lawless tactics will not be tolerated by the people in this section of the state. IN this effort to date, there have been three convictions and one acquittal. It would be too much to expect a 100 percent record. It would be too much to expect a series of victories, with no defeats. As a matter of fact the record thus far, is MUCH better, than those who started this crusade, who realized the serious conditions that existed at that time, and the obstacles before them, had aiiy reason to expect. Convinced of the RIGHTNESS of their cause, of the neces sity, from the standpoint of the public welfare, of its success; those engaged in it, we are certain, will by their first defeat only be strengthened in their determination to fight it out to a victorious finish, and in that determination will have the active support of all right-thinking, law-abiding' people of Jackson county. A ND they will WIN. Sooner or later the right always tri- umphs. Sooner or later the truth always prevails. Dis couragements and reversals can't be prevented. But in such a cause, neither can ULTIMATE victory. All that is needed is that the people, as a whole, know the truth. As the cases go on, they will learn more and more of the truth realize more and more clearly, the real issues which are involved. And in thst greater knowledge, the essential soundness of our citizenship will assert itself, and the battle for what is right and what is true, will be won! The Jury System OINCE the acquittal in the last case, many citizens have visit ed this office, condemning the verdict, and asserting that this and that irregularity prevailed. We have told them all the same thing. If they have any EVIDENCE of irregularities, the plaoe to take that evidence, is not to this newspaper or to any other newspaper, but to the proper authorities themselves. This is something for the grand jury, the district attorney and the eourt, to decide, not for any individual, or for any newspaper. "NE of the greatest abuses In this community, during the past few years, one in fact that perhaps did more to bring us to the very verge of martial law than ANY other, was the disposition of certain newspapers to try cases in which they had a selfish interest, in their columns; the insistence of certain individuals to place themselves above the law, and by refusal to abide by jury verdiots, and efforts to intimidate jury members, gain their personal and destructive ends. Juries are not perfect. They are human, and they make mistakes as all humans make them. But for that very reason they have a human quality which any other form of purely legal or judioial jurisprudence would not possess. It is probably for this reason, that in spite of criticisms ofton justified the jury system has been retained. With every jury verdict one side is, to express it mildly, disappointed. With every jury verdict only ONE side is pleased. But whether we like tho jury system, or DON'T like it, it is ALL we have. And as LONG as it is all we have, it is the first duty of good citizenship to abide by its decisions, pleased or not pleased accept its decisions as FINAL. If there have been irregularities, if there has been undue influence or corruption, then of course immediate action should be taken. The jury system is government, and must be protected from evey dishonest influ ence or improper attack that believe is the first concern of all our law enforcement agencies, and all our people. But in LIEU of that, then certainly there is, regardless of one's individual opinions, only one proper course to pursue, uphold the jury's hands, gracefully acquiesce in the jury's de cisions, whatever they may be. The Glenn AS far as tho Glenn verdict is concerned, that is what this paper gladly docs at this time. The defendant's innocence or guilt, was something for the jury, not for this newspaper, or for any individual to decide. That verdict has been handed down. As far as WE are concerned, that is FINAL, it is water over the mill. This paper will now turn its attention to the other cases. We have nothing to do with the trials, except to fairly and accurately report them, but we HAVE something to do, in continuing to make clear to the people of Southern Oregon, the nature of issues involved, in those trials. In fact even more important than the verdicts in these CMses highly important as they are is acquainting the people all the people with the true facts, showing them what a deplorable and dangerous situation existed in this community; show them clearly what must be done, to get completely away from that situation, and render its return, IMPOSSIBLE! In the last analvsis it is not jury verdicts, this incident or tlnil, this defent or that victory, that deoitle these things. They are important but they are temporary. In the last analysis the very cornerstone of orderly protection should be, and we Verdict it is publio opinion and only publio opinion that counts. Replace in publio opinion, what is false with what is true, replace fears with knowledge, prejudices with understanding and then and then only, will the "war" be ENTIRELY over, the FINAL battle won 1 Personal Health Service By William Brady, H.D.

For many years Tony the W lrlah , Terror and I have relied on good old tincture of lodln (Iodine to you. old timers) to take care of all the wounds - we have collected on our evening prowls around the n e 1 g h b o rhood. Hot that we have been without lib eral samples of all the newfan gled antiseptic. We Just had more faith In lodln. A few years ago we ventured to ex press our opinion about this pub licly. But that benevolent effort only brought us grief, Plrst the custo mers besieged us with protests be cause they discovered a poison label on the lodln vial and they wondered what we were trying to do. Then the interests that seek to popularize newer and. it you can believe It, bet ter antiseptics, directed, a barrage of so-called scientific reports at us, re ports of laboratory researches con ducted by bacteriologists and other research workers. You know the kind that count the germs so many drops of the antiseptic kills in a test tube In so many seconds. These Interests were so aggressive In their attitude that Tony and I figuratively pulled in our horns a bit and lay off tlie sub ject lor quite a while but we went right on treating our wounds with a dash of tincture of lodln and then forgetting them. Dr. J. 8. Simmons, an officer In the United States army medical corps, as well as a bacteriologist and Instructor In the army medical school, has re cently published a report of his ac tual testa of tincture of Iodine (It's Iodine to the major, too) and mer curocbrome as first aid disinfectant, In simple skin abrasions, superficial cuts and deep Incisions which were contaminated with cultures of the common pus producing germs staph ylococcus aureus, and streptococcus pyogenes. Application of lodln to 310 such contaminated wounds sterilized them (rendered them germ free) In 150 of the cases. Mercurochrome failed to sterlllu any of the 310 wounds. From this actual test on wounds the expert concludes that mercuro chrome Is comparatively so lnefflctlve In the sterilization of contaminated living tissue that It should not be considered as a substitute for lodln. Mercurochrome has one virtue which might make It preferable to lodln as a first aid disinfectant for raw wounds of any extent It causes less smarting or burning when It Is Bellview BELLVIEW, July (Spl.) Bell- Tlew Parent-Teacher association had a concession in the Llthta park on the Fourth of July, although It waa necessary to change their plana somewhat because Ashland did not hold a celebration on that day. The Bellview P.-T. A. has had a conces sion In the park for the last four yeara and have each time made a profit and have aerved the public ef ficiently. Mrs. Oeorge King, presi dent, acted as chairman of the concession, where hot dog and ham burger aandwlches, ice cream, soft drinks and candy were sold. Most farmera In Bellview are rejoic ing over the recent rainfall, and feet that the good will exceed the damage done to the hay. Though the color 1 not bright, the feeding qualltlea of the alfalfa has been lowered very little. Mr. and Mr. Ellis B. Russell and three daughtera plan to move to Se attle In about two week. Mr. Rus sell ha secured work In Seattle. The whlstl at the Moon lumber mill each day remind us that the mill, which haa been Inactive for o many montha. la now running and la giving work to several Bellview real dents. Mr. Powers t operating the mill, which he haa leased from Mr. Moon. Mlaa Dorl Hitchcock left Saturday evening for Seattle to Join a party en Ita way to the world fair. Mrs. W. L. Huxley left Sunday with Mr. and Mra. Jsmea Sewell for Bo nanza, where she and Mrs. Sewell will remain for about three weeks, enjoy ing a vacation and taktng advantage of the aprlnga at Bonanza. Karl Moore returned Wednesday from encampment with Battery B of Ashland. He reports a very profitable and enjoyable two weeka. A. L. Peachey went to' the Lake of the Woods last Thursday to attend a foseatry training achool. This school, which was attended by twenty men In the eervlce waa given for Klamath and Dead Indian district. Deputy Forest Supervisor M. C. Whit of Medford. Mr. Rlgtn of Klamath dis trict and Hugh Rltter of Dead Indian diatrlct. were the Instructors. Mr. O. U Brock, formerly Lena Mc- Corkle of T corns. Wash., and small son. Bobble, and Mrs. A. O. Haislet are visiting this week with the Oscar Martin family and the J. H. Williams family. They rail! leave Fridav morn ing, accompanied by MHdrtd and Lou- le Martin. Th girls will spend three or four weeks In Tacoma, visiting and sight seeing. Mrs. Archie Klncald gave a party A. , T r- M3j applied. But the bite Is momentary and, in my opinion, the aftereffect is rather soothing. At least It seems that way when I touch a sensitive canker sore in my mouth with tinc ture of lodln and glycerin, half and half, once a day which I think is good treatment for these annoying canker sores. At any rate the burn ing sensation one feels when tincture of lodln Is poured or swabbed or painted on a raw surface lasts only a few moments. Another reason Tony and I are par tial to the lodln vial Is that we each take a nip of lodln, about a drop In a good drink of water every week or so, to keep us from getting old too young. So the same vial that In sures us good first aid disinfection of our wounds, bites, scratches and abrasions, also keeps us cheerful In spite of all the other dogs and docs. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Baby Book Is Solid Meat. We have two or three fancy books on the care of the baby, but we value the Brady Baby Book above them all, because It Is Just solid meaty nstruc ton and we have profited by It many times in raising our three children. J. W. Answer The Brady Baby Book goes on the assumption that you are not quite a numbskull to begin with. All reverence for venerable tradition Is omitted from the booklet. Send a dime and a stamped envelope bear ing your address and ask for a copy. Exterior Decoration, t M Told U have a paint that re moves corns. R. W. P. Answer The rest remedy, I think, Is sallcylated collodion 30 grains of salicylic . add dissolved In half an ounce of flexible collodion. Paint the corn or callus (never a bunion) with a coating of this once dally, and after a week or so It will soften and you can easily wipe It away. Be care ful to keep the vlal tightly stoppered, and to keep the collodion off from the neck of via). Tularemia. Please advise whether there Is a fever that, a person can get from eat ing rabbit meat, and If so, how to prevent It. O. P. O. Answer Not If the meat Is thor oughly cooked. Tularemia Is & grave Infection which skinners, or persons who prepare or handle the meat may contract, through some scratch or puncture of fingers. Only wild rab bits, not domestic rabbits, are sub ject to the disease. Such handlers of game should wear heavy cotton gloves, and carefully wash and treat any slight wounds or scratches Imme diately.
