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

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

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.

Speaking of the neurotlo patient
this author wisely remark that a).
though the physician may be tempt
ed to start immediately with the
neeesaary psychotherapy when such a
patient comes to him, he wlU be
more likely to gain the patient' con
fidence if be first goes ahesd with
a careful overhauling, regarding the
patient as a sensible human being
with something orgsnlcally wrong.
This examination takes several days,
not a few minutes. Ah. fellows, that's

Actually, Dr. Alvarea candidly de
clares, "the best artist at handling
these patients whom I ever knew
would never allow one of tnem to

the quiet sermon the doctor preach
as, when he assures the patient there
Is no serious disease present, haa a

GRAND FINALE FOR
WILL LEAVE HOPE
(Continued tram Pag On)
Th nation wanted to confer with
us. 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.
Johnson . demanding a code from
bankers, but nothing is being done
on It yet and probably nothing will
be.

At mountain height In Oregon
Crater Lake reflects the sky
And when the trails are free from

As though divinely touched It eem

And to each searching soul reply.
They come the curious changing
throng
From everywhere beneath th sun.
Adding their bit to the romance.
We read th wonder In their eager

That shall not vision such another

From tar retreat or city street
Always the same, go where you will,
They soon forget the weary miles
As through the cool pine scented

The long procession climbs the hill.
We long for reassurance still
The "ill Is well" ot one who knows.
And as this lske reflects th blue.
There glows within the soul anew.
The faith that truly grows.
