ANALYSIS OF CRIME Wall, and mouu art rising to high Reavsn, that "the coat of orlms la ap palling." It can also ba aald, that some of tne Crimea ar. -appalling, Mid aoma ar. amazing, In the dumb est, of their execution. It la awarding (he crlralnala what they have com ing, that Tilta the pocketbooxa. Quite frequently a culprit will commit a crime, and proceed forthwith to catch himself, with practically no cost to blmaelf, or hla country. None ever try themaelvea. fltnoe 1629, It haa been quite the proper caper, when entangled with (he law, to blame the Depression, for turning burglar, or otherwise growing felonious, and flirting with the front gate of the penitentiary. Several hind tires, and oonatderable gasoline haa been Illegally purloined around here, because of ttie Hard Times. The panto also caused some to so far forget their bringing up, aa to try and rob a bank, and kick In the back door of a coun try grocery store, in the 'wee ema' hours,. The Idea aeema to have been, to do aa one pleased, and plead not guilty, because of the Wall St. crash. The old favorite cause of crime, la the newapapera, and now that the Dei preaslon la petering out, aa an alibi, the dally periodical are once more "bearing the onua," as the lawyers ay, when they can't think of a Latin Shrase like, nuno pro tunc The presa aa been earnestly preaching for years that "Orlme does not pay," and from the number of crimes and crlra lnala, It haa done no good. If this attitude keeps up, In a few veers, the prisoner at the bar, will ob: "Your Honor I I waa an upright young man, but I read an editorial In the Evening Blatt, on the tariff, and sneaked over to Widow Brown's and atole her aewlng machine. I did not profit by the transaction. The widow baa re-married, the aewlng machine la In the junkplle, and I am sorry 1 got caught. If you give me another chance I will never steal another aew lng machine." He la told to go, and In no more. Six months later, the above men tioned defendant, reads the paper gain, and developa an Irresistible passion for hla neighbor's new 1033 .uto, and gets aa far south aa Chlco', Calif., before he rune out of gas, and the law catches up with him. He la returned, and feels quite melancholy ever the prospect of being shaved for the next five years, by one of the DeAutremont brothers. He oonfera with a lawyer, In need of some pub licity, put. on a clean ahlrt, and Is yanked before the court, that was kind to him before. "The last time you were before me. I remember It distinctly, because of the extent of your bawling, you told me you would leave other people's property alone. You aeem to possess the happy faculty of getting caught. It looks like you would learn. At that time you were charged with stealing the Widow Brown'a aewlng machine, and here you are again looking aad. Up hope the learned counsel, am bushed behind wheelbarrow load of law hooks, and elucidates aa followa: "The court la quite correct In etat Ing that the young man before you, waa here once before, charged with misappropriation of the Widow Brown'a aewlng machine, or waa It Widow Brown, That la Immaterial, aa It la the aewlng machine that la the corpus delicti. Right there la the perl- cop of the Issue. The defendant aald "give me another chance, and X will never ateal another aewlng ma chine." He haa faithfully kept that promise more than kept It he did not ateal another aewlng machine. He stole a new 1933 auto. He specifically agreeed never to ateal another aew lng machine. This doea not restrict hla rlsht to walk away, with every thing that strikes his fancy, but aew lng machines. Alabama toe, Ohio 53. Illinois 18 hold this la trampling on the constitutional rights." "And we further aubmlt, that the auto manufacturer equip their pro duct with aafety locks, aa protection If they don't protect. It la no epi dermis off the proboscus of this up right, straight-forward youth, whose Mother la now crying on the fifth ' row. The atate police, are too vigilant, In fact, over vlltgsnt. I have a notion to teeta cecum that atate police. If tl-.ey continue to barrase crooka with thslr efficiency." "Very well. The point la well taken, as v.ss the aewlng machine, and the auto The defendant had better quit reading the newspapers, aa they in flame hla criminal tendencies. Oet your newa over the radio, In the fu ture. It la not as apt to aet you afire." Why No Glenn Extra? JUDGING by statements of certain attorneys, and various anonymous phone calls and communications, the members of the Good Government congress are properly burned up by the fact that the Mail Tribune did not issue an "extra" on the John Glenn verdict. This fact is given as an example of this paper's DEEP SEATED PREJUDICE. In all the other cases, where convic tions were returned, it is CLAIMED extras were issued, and the story plastered all over the front page; whereas in this acquittal, there wa's, to quote one of the Good Government con gress attorneys, ''only two inches in one comer of the page I" IN one sense this is a trivial matter, and would be disregarded had the leaders of the Good Government congress not insist ed upon making it another burning issue, and broadcasted it, from the housetops, as another example of the intolerance and unfairness of the so-called "subsidized press." As a matter of fact the Glenn acquittal was treated by this newspaper JUST AS IT DESERVED TO BE TREATED, as an important news item, but not as one calling for an "extra", or any undue or sensational emphasis. IN tbe first place the Glenn verdict instead of occupying only TWO inches in one corner of the page occupied 12 INCHES on the FIRST page, given equal prominence with the death of Lieut. Burrell Milo Bauoom, and the starting of the Schemer- horn trial. In the second place, the Mail Tribune did not issue a paper July 4th, but aa usual allowed its employees to enjoy this im portant national holiday. As a result the Glenn verdict handed down, early in the morning of the Fourth WAS, on the after noon of the following day, OLD news. Everyone knew about it. The grape-vine as usual ha"d done its work. " Under such circumstances no newspaper in the world would issue an "extra" or play up the "old story" to the 'exclusion of everything else. The determining factor in news value, is time. The value of news is in inverse proportion TO time. That is, the less time the more news value; the more time, the less news value, etc., eta. TpHffiDLT our Good Government congressmen, as usual, are basing their criticism upon ignorance of the true facts. The Mail Tribune did not issue extras for ALL the other ballot case verdiots. Only ONE extra was issued, namely in the LaDieu case. That was the first case to be tried, obviously it bad a greater news value than similar cases following it. It wag the first "break" the first indication of how the wind was blowing. To many perhaps the Jones verdict seemed more important. But there was no Mail Tribune "extra" issued. Conditions did not justify it. The Jones verdict was therefore only given the prominence that the Glenn verdict WOULD have been given, had this paper had an issue, the day following, instead of TWO days following. WE trust that makes it clear. It should to anyone capable of recognizing the truth when it is presented. But we have no illusions about it making any Impression upon the lead ers of the Good Government congress. They only see what they WANT to see; only believe what they LIKE to 'believe. Not argument or reasoning, only TIME, can cure them. But as their oharges and claims in this matter trivial as they are in themselves fairly represent the peculiar psychosis from which they, and this valley, are suffering, we decided this comment and elucidation justified. We have long since abandoned any attempt to show the Good Government congress leaders the error (and the danger) of their ways. They are past instruction, and must be left to that best but sometimes extremely severe teacher, EXPERI ENCE. But we are interested in showing the people the rank and file the true situation existing, and the true facts, as they come up from time to time. HENCE the above. The Human Comedy A S has often been stated in this column this local situation would be amusing if it were not so TRAGIC. Fortunately perhaps for those who are FORCED to take it seriously, there are moments when the tragedy is submerged in the human oom" edy of it all. Such a moment came to this newspapor yestorday, when one of the Good Government congressmen attorneys, with particular solemnity, complained of the way the Mail Tribune had abused County Judge Fohl, one of the principal defendants in the ballot burning cases. "ABUSED JUDGE FEHLr And this from an attorney representing an organization which has from the time of its formation, secured its intellectual pabulum, and derived its standards of editorial propriety, from the columns of the Daily News, when directed by L. A. BANKS ; and the Record Herald, as directed by the aforesaid JUDGE FEHLI "Abuse, villification, misrepresentation." Certainly it is to laugh I We don't blame Assistant Attorney General Moody for re marking on the absence of vindictiveness toward the defendants in tbe columns of this paper, the complete absence of editorial comment, upon cases under trial; the fact that this paper has not said HALF, what, without any violation of accepted jour nalistio ethics, it COULD have said. Mr. Moody, too, haa been a reader of the old "News" and the still functioning, scandal and blackmail sheet the Pacific Record-Herald. JUST to bring the matter home, briefly, let any citizen CON TEMPLATE what would have filled the columns of these two papers, Jisd County Commissioner Nealon, let us say, been so unfortunate as to have been indicted for participation in a ballot burning sortie, on our duly elected Judge Fehl's court house I Or imagine, the jouraalistio reaction, if District Attor ney Codding had so forgotten himself as to fill Probation Offi cer Amos Walker with buckshot, when he tried to serve a tnm' inons at his doortl Just think it over, Mr. and Mrs. Reader, contemplate the tableaux of Judge Fehl's attorney, complaining his client has been ABUSED, by the press of Jackson county and then keep straight face if you can!

He contin ued working, but In about 15 min utes he was taken with nausea and faintness. He took a drink of water and lmmedltaely continued to vetch. He went out in the air and f ou nd himself In a drenching sweat. His breathing be came labored and painful. He was taken to the hospital In an ambu lance. On the way to the hospital he lost consciousness and did not recover consciousness till three hours later. He lay semi-conscious, writh ing, moaning, gaping, witts rapid 40 respirations. Irregular heartbeat 86, rectal temperature lowered to SS.6 P., pupils pinpoint, pulse feeble, ex tremities cold, no tendon reflexes. They were puzzled aa to the diag nosis. The patient was given stim ulating hypodermic Injections and external heat applied. Next day he was recovered except for some oppression under the breast bone, weakness and slight nausea. He wa discharged on the fourth day. Hla clothei bad been put away In a paper bag and they were still damp where they had been wet wlt,h the nicotine solution. But he dressed and went his way rejoicing. But within an hour after leaving the hospital he was again seized with nausea, vomiting, sweating and diffi culty in breathing (painfully remi niscent of the first cigar, eh, fel lows?) and was readmitted to the hoepitAl. He was not so sick this time, but left after four more days. Three weeks later he still complain ed of weakness, sweating, vertigo on change of position, insomnia, nerv ousness snd constant sense of pres sure under the breast bone, worse on exertion. (Here It Is fair to ssy that an In surance company was Interested in the man's disability. That may ac count for some of the man's symp toms that persisted). The man was In good health four months later, but he said he was unabld to go Into a greenhouse where the nicotine spray was being used without suffering immediate nausea. The man, by the way, has long smoked' and still enjoys five or six pipeful dally. The Boston doctor reporting the case arbitrarily asserts that the nico tine was absorbed directly through the skin. Then, like a regular "sci entist," he cites some experiments to sustain his funny notion. The fur was csrexuiiy snaved rrom part of the belly of a cat, unaesthetized but fastened on its back to a board. Borne of the 40 per cent nicotine solution used for spraying was poured over this area and gently sopped snd rub bed in with gloved fingers. Tbe area thus wet with nicotine was covered with an inverted glass dish held down tightly with adhesive tape. Why? The "scientist" says "to pre vent the fumes from escaping.' Aha so there are fumes to be taken Into consideration? The meth od described would hardly prevent fumes from escaping, though It might make evaporation less rapid. It takes very little nicotine fumes to poison a small animal when In haled. The experiment is not scien tific at all, unless control animals are used with provision against In halation of any of the fumes. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O.

L.t 265 EI (Ja mlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. Communications Can You Beat Itf To the Editor: ' My attention has been called by several of the readers of your paper to the fact that you seem to mention quite frequently that some of the In dicted men In the ballot theft and connected with the ssme were Spanish-American War veterans. We do not see any reason for repesttng that fact so often In your psper. You do not seem to mention that some of them are members of other organiza tions, nor what church they belong to. We csn't quite understand why you emphasize Spanish-American veterans. Hoping this kind reminder will cause you to be less partial in your high duties and responsibilities as editors, J am, Very respectfully yours, T. L. THUEMLZR. Grants Pass, July 6. Ed note: The Mali Tribune has only mentioned one of the ballot theft defendants as a Spanish war veteran. This waa Jailer Olenn, who, according to reliable reports, was acquitted largely because he WAS a Spanish war veteran. Had he been convicted he would have net his pension his chief source of support. It Is rather amus ing to be accused of "partiality" for having so identified Mr. Olenn. But that is only another example of the twisted thinking and crazy prejudices existing hereabouts. The attorneys for the defense were the ones who brought this Spanish war fact out and rang all the changes on it. The waving qf the flag and the over emphasis placed on Glenn's war rec ord, Indeed won the day for the forces this newspaper opposes. CORVALLIS SEEKS HIGH SCHOOL FUND CORVALLIS, July 7. (AP) A 1300.000 grant and loan for construc tion of a new high schcool here will be sought from the federal public works fund. The Corvallls school board decided Thursday to make the request. The board bought a site several years ago and planned to build in 1034, but the depression caused abandonment of the project. A 30 per cent donation from the gov ernment led the board to revive Its plans. A special election will be held July 17 to pass on the bond Issue for the other 70 per cent.
