The term "butternut" was applied to soldiers of the confederate army because mnny of their homespun uniforms were dyed light brown from tfuf Hull ot tb nut. A Convicted Man as Sheriff? COITNTY Commissioners Nealon and Billingi are to be com mended for declaring the sheriff! office vaoant, and ap pointing Walter Olmscheid to aet in flat capacity, until the legal tangle is settled, and a new sheriff duly elected. Olmscheid, appointed sheriff by Governor Meier, has acted in that oapaeity for 90 days, and under the most trying circum stances hag done the job exceedingly well. Disregarding the noise and fury, all about him, he has not only kept his head, and retained his sense of humor, but h has conducted the af fairs of the office with dignity, courage and efficiency. The people of Jackson county, as a whole, respect Sheriff Olmscheid and have confidence in him, sentiment which has long since disappeared regarding his predecessor. e e e IT was BAD enough to have in the sheriff's office, s man under Indictment for burglary not in a dwelling, a man who regardless of bis technical guilt, had violated his oath of office, and betrayed the trust imposed in him by the electorate, by ooiiBorting with outlaws and criminals, at a time of great peril to this community. Above all public officials, a sheriff should be above suspicion, as far as sympathy with or indiffer ence to law violators, are concerned. It was bad enough for the taxpayers to be forced to pay TWO salaries for sheriff, when they had, and WANTED, only the services of ONE. But WHEN after a fair and open trial, suoh a public official has been CONVICTED by a jury of his peers, then for him, to try to retain such an office, by taking advantage of some legal technicality, simply surpasses all considerations of decency or common sense. , IN retaining Shreiff Olmscheid, and making it impossible for ex-Sheriff Schermerhorn to direot law enforcement in this county, while he stands convicted and many of his co-conspirators in the bnllot thefts, as still to go on trial, the county com missioners simply performed an inescapable PUBLIC DUTY, and in this action have the hearty support of all the right thinking and law-abiding people of Jackson county) ' Time to Ring Off ! llf E are getting decidedly tired of listening to the Scbermer- horn squawkers and sob sisters. No one denies Gordon Schermerhorn is an old settler of advanced years, who UNTIL he was elected to public office, enjoyed an enviable reputation in this oommunity, as an honest and law abiding citizen. Such a reoord however, instead of being an "alibi" for bis subse quent aotions, renders them the more inexousable, and hard to understand. Moreover this record was placed before the jury which tried the sheriff, IN THE FULLEST DETAIL, the jury CAREFULLY weighed that record with the evidenoe of wrong doing, and after long deliberation, unanimously decided the defendant was GUILTY. WHAT POSSIBLE excuse then for the squawkers and sob alfliftra nararlinp tin nnrl flnwn Minn Rfrpfil.. fnnmine, nnrl raging, hysterically, and vowing vengeance against the state of Oregon, as represented by Assistant Attorney General Ralph Moody; and the Jackson county press, as represented by the Mail Tribune. Mr. Moody merely presented the evidence, performed a duty imposed upon him by the governor of this state. The Mall Tribune and the newspapers of Jackson county morely presented the FACTS in this case, as they came up, a duty that all newspapers worthy of the name, must perform. If the sob-sisters don't like this verdict, then why don't they pick on the "twelve good men and women true," who banded it down, juries decide verdiots, not newspapers, or prosecuting attorneys, or judges for that e AS a matter of fact, there has been surprisingly little PFTJStlVATi nnimna oThiViitorl Inninl Sheriff !...,.- horn, either by the newspapers or the legal representatives of the state. At the outset, indeed, thore was a great deal of sym pathy expressed for him, because it was generally felt his in tentions had been good ; that he had been misled and betrayed by bad company and bad advice particularly by the unscrupu lous and unprincipled leaders of the (so-called) Good Govern ment congress. - Beoause of this, we know, that many of the sheriff's closest and most loyal friends, went to him, urged him to admit mis feasance in office (which was quite apparent) frankly admit he had made serious mistakes, realized them, and was anxious to correct them. In other words "come clean 1" For some reason as inexplicable as his subsequent and pre ceding aotions, Sheriff Schermerhorn FLATLY REFUSED TO DO THIS. Ho insisted upon a jury trial he insisted upon that trial boing held in JACKSON COUNTY, he was granted both. And NOW after suoh a trial has resulted in his convlotion, he demands that he be retained TO DIRECT LAW ENFORCE MENT IN JACKSON COUNTY I Small wonder that the sympathy he once enjoyed, has de parted. Small wonder that the wails of his pals in the Good Government congress fall on deaf oars. CHERIFF SCHERMERHORN had his chance. He refused to take it. ne insisted upon everything being done in a CERTAIN WAY, as far as he was concerned. His every wish was granted. He was given a jury trial. And that trial was held in his OWN county. Now instead of abiding by that verdict, which he himself DEMANDED, accepting it, like a good sport, at LEAST until a higher court has ruled, he storms up and down the public streets, cursing and cussing EVERYONE BUT HIMSELF AND niS ADVISERS for his unfortunate predicament.' Look WITHIN just a moment. It IS pothctic. ' It IS tragic. But for the pathos and the tragedy, Sheriff Sehermerhorn has only himself to blame. A pnANrisco, July 18.

Cat XEIHOTICS AND IH EIB INDIGESTION Well be perfectly fair and admit that nervous wrecks are Just a like. ly to have indigestion as other vale tudinarians are, whatever indigestion a my be. And while we r being frank I'll add haven't the slightest notion what Indigestion may be aw don't bellev any other doctor bee. But you Class A neurotics know all about It. So do your pet nerve epoclsltats. But the whole bollln' of you find the secret so useful In your business that you keep It to yourselves. That Is the reason why we ordinary doctors are so Ignorsnt Once in a whUe this Ignorance breaks out on us In the form of pithy magazine article which brings In some extra pin money to help us mslntam the front our nervous pst- lent demand. Or If business is very quiet and steadily getting quieter we may while away the long waits be tween patients writing book. Take this one on "Nervous Indigestion" by Dr. Walter O. Atvarcs. I commend It to all you neurotics, even those In B class, for a perusal of this Interesting little book (Hoeber, N. Y.) will not only help A neurssthenlcs to find their wsy out of the woods but will ensble B nervous Impostors to lm prove their technic and maintain the racket intact. Even If you lay no claim to a nerv ous temperament or bad nerves this book will give you as much enjoy ment end more enlightenment than you will get out of the novels and the general run ot wood pulp people read today. Among the factors of Indigestion discussed by Dr. Alvsrea are "Fatigue Neurosis"; "Temperamental Indiges tion . . . certain men and women get along well enough until some annoy ance sets them off . . .": "Marital Infelicity"; "Anxiety Neurosis". Under the last heading the author aayst The term anxiety neurosis Is useful for designating those esses in which after the sudden death of a relative or friend, or after a visit to a pessimistic phy sician, or after the appearance of symptoms which are thought to be due to the return of old, well treated syphilis, the patient be comes terror stricken.

Max Baer's quick popularity as a fight idol is dus largely to a roman tic heart Interest. He Is a young man In love. And aa such Is a per fect set-up for Idolatry. Handsome, smartly dressed and magnificently boyish, he has all the qualifications to bring fresh enthusiasm to a dying sport. Baer Is hardly an example, for he hsa accomplished much In boxing In a short while. But It has struck me th most attractive men are those handsome athletlo figures who do anything well that is absolutely no valu. I mean the beat gentleman rider at a horse show or a dare-devil polo player. - The most engaging fellow I know Is a cosmopolite who raises fancy Farcherons In an European capital.

Last evening after gazing drowsily at the sidewalk flow my eyes feU upon a young girl In a seat In front, her chin cupped In hand pensively. Uiear the Museum a young man took a seat beside her.

Argentina, Norway and others have asked for conferences. Wa bav mad a great display of assenting. The publicity put out by government press agent Indicate agreements are Just around th comer. It I the same corner Mr. Hoover thought prosperity was around. Th underlying truth I that for eign nations wsnt concessions. We are not In a position to grant them. To do so would Interfere with our domes tic recovery program now. Further more Mr. Roosevelt hss no power to grant anything. Congress declines to give him the power. But there Is no harm In conferring. It softens the blow we gave th world when we announced our nationalistic policy at London. Also the results will ultimately b useful. They can be submitted to congress by Mr. Roosevelt In Jsnuary. The congress can chew on them for a few months more. By that time we may be In a position to do something important about tariffs. Dont hold your breath waiting for that day. A clique of liberals started the move to break up General Johnson's high-powered publicity machine. They held a dinner recently at the home of a former Washington news paperman. Among the guest was Edward McOrady. Ha I labor assist ant In th Johnson outfit. Th guest (mostly newspapermen) turned on the heat Immediately. They spared no words In criticizing the publicity work of Oen. Johnson's ma chine. Mr. McOrady called General Johnson on the telephone and asked him to come over. The guest and th host told the general the same story. He broke down and confessed he was not get ting the kind of publicity ha wanted. He suggested that those present name someone he could appoint to fill the bill as a contact man between him self and the press. They named two men. Both are Washington correspondent, on for a press association and the other for a nearby Democratic newspaper. It' looked a deal was about to be made until the next day. The two men found that some of the publicity Jobs paid as little as 83000 a year. That Is a bad minimum wage even for liberals accustomed to getting along without Packards. The result was that someone sug gested Gen. Johnson drop the steel Industry code and adopt one for pub licity mon. The matter was still In the process of negotiation at last accounts. -. A certain dry senator says he does not believe the drys will carry a sin gle state In the repeal referendum. He formerly advised the dry organiza tions on politic and should know. He says they were counting on Kan sas until recently. Now they do not believe a vote will be authorized there before two-thirds of th state act (probably November 8.) The senator recently made a tour through his own formerly dry state. He came back and bet a suit of clothes that It would go wet by 100,- 000. Repeal will save the taxpayers sbout two hundred million Imme diately. That much revenue was ex pected from the new taxes which will not go Into effect if repeal cornea November 6. These Include the new normal taxes on stock dividends. The net worth stock tsx and one-half cent of the Increase on gasoline. Repeal will not affect the electrical tax. the Increase In postal rates or th original federal gasoline tsx. There is some tslk about Gen.
