TUB VOTERS LOAFI
The Oregon Voter, sometimes play
fully called the Intelligent voter, did
not hint anything getting to the
poll lost Friday. The frantlo and
fanatic guato of the 1032 election
waa absent, and all was aerene. The
male voters hardly moved out of
their well known tracks, nd all the
beds were made and all the dlahes
were washed on schedule for a week
before the battle of the ballots.
There were many Important matters
to be pondered, but the electorate
gave a continental whoop about that.
About 33 per oent of the masses
heroically struggled, aa the pioneers
struggled across the plains, down to
the polling places, there to think
long and hard, and mark the ballot
wrong.
The lack of getting hot and both
ered about the voting, Is due to the
(act that (a) the campaign was de
cent and no characters were black
ened, (b there was no great out
pouring of Bull, so there was ho
great pouring out of voters. The
voter also u not hysterical from
listening to paranolcal lies, and the
district attorney was not listed aa
mean; and no stolen calf was mixed
up. with an alleged gold mine, that
a miner had hidden In his whiskers.
There la one thing about It.. It a
campaign Is to possess gumption, a
herd of trained liars must be turned
loose on the voters, at lease three
months before he Is handed a ballot
and a pencil. They must be fore
handed, be painfully gored by the
Bull, and then stuffed with hooey
and hokum. If he has signed a note
(or a slicker, and Is doubtful about
getting his money, ha Is Just twice
as ardent a believer In the drivel of
his skinner.
The voter In the last spaam, was
Implored to "face the Issues." He
did nothing of the kind. He either
kicked the Issue In the seat of the
pants, or looked the other way, and
went fishing, or did some 'Innocent
bystandlng. The pettlcoated voters
did not race from Mound to Deter,
and from Provolt to Prospect. Not a
Bible or a flag was waved. Not a
aoul took the stump, so there Is
emsll likelihood that later a group
of patriots will take the ballots.
The lack of Interest was pathetic,
both ou the pavements and up the
creeks. In one neck of the woods,
last November, there came tearing to
the polls 307 souls Intent on abolish
ing rase sis, renovating the court
house, remodeling humsn nature,
and running to earth the villain who
atole the whiskey that never existed.
Last Friday the community had
practically run out' of free born
Americans with their dander up.
They were too busy getting ready to
go huckleberrylng to exercise their
constitutional rights. The hysterics
of the voters were all sleeping. And
he waa not particularly mad about
anything, and prepared to sneak Into
the penitentiary for his cause or his
candidate.
One of the measures walloped was
ths Oleo Tax, and It has been voted
upon so many times that the voters
think It came over on the Mayflower.
It will be on the bnllot again next
spring, or fall. By that time It Is
prayed that a Rogue river fish bill
will be resurrected. Somebody was
negligent, or It would have been on
the ballot Friday. The voter could
not Imagine an election without It,
so remained home.
Friday's results are a aample of a
quiet, peaceful, unsatisfactory elec
tion. It Is honed that In the future,
more vile names will be called, to the
end that the occasion be more
violent. The Intelligent voter will
not vote If he has to be human
about It.

Medford "s Opportunity
PORTLAND and Granta Pass voted sewage disposal bonda,
aa advocated by the Roosevelt administration at Friday 'a
election.
The aituation at Granta Paaa it ao similar to the Medford
aituation although our own need ia even greater, that the
following comment on the result by the Granta Pasa Courier,
is printed herewith i
There may never be another time like the present, with
federal employment plans going forward under such a head of
steam that a 30 per cent grant of money la available to the
city to help construct the aewage disposal system.
Added to that, the B. F. O. bonds with which the federal
government will finance the remainder of the Grant Pass
sewage disposal plant cost will be sold without capital loss to
the city, and the money loaned at 4 per cent Interest or less,
which Is an offer of such astonishing cheapness It would
have been sin to refuse It.
In other words, It will cost the city through the generosity'
of its voters half aa much to build and pay for IU disposal
plant now, as It would In the future If the disposal bonding
proposition had failed at the polls.
And the employment will corns during this fall and winter
when the disposal plant will be the city government's only
contribution so fsr In sight towards keeping this city's con
struction payrolla.
In addition to saving for this part of southern Oregon the
money value of river homesltes below the city, the Income from
visitors who will come to settle here because of cleaning up
our sector of the Rogue river, and the Income from fishermen
of many a season In the future who will come and come again '
because our contribution towards aewage disposal will have
given the Rogue's fish better conditions for propagation and
perpetuation.
The people of Medford will vote on a similar proposition
here this coming Friday, July 28th, Through General Johnson,
the Roosevelt administration asks that such bonds be voted, and
Governor Meier, through the state department of the national
industrial recovery act, aska the aanie thing.
In other words, local interest, state interest and national
interest are -one. Under such circumstances the bonda should
pass, by an overwhelming majority.
Why Not All?
TIARItY BOWLES, the aecond gunman, implicated in. the
V murder of Milo Baucom, July 1st, has been convicted,
and with hia pal, will probably be aentijnccd to the penitentiary
for life today. ' .
Here ia a cold blooded murder case, cleared up ia three
weeks after the arime. A splendid record. We would like to
say it was due to some superior
and the state an improved technique which if generally fol
lowed, would similarly speed up
But such, we regret to atate, is not the caae. Had theae
two boya money or influential friends behind them, their trials
would have been delayed and ditto their sentences. Requests
for new trials, appeals to the atate supreme court, and perhaps
the U. S. supreme court would have delayed final action for
months, perhapa years. '
Thus once more, the need for judicial and court reform, be
comes apparent. A procedure should be adopted whereby
money can not buy, delay after dolay, and thus obstruct justice.
All criminala, rich or poor, should be treated alike.. -
How Great Is Roosevelt?
WE are all for the New Deal, and supporting President
Roosevelt in every proper effort to get it functioning
at the earlieat possible moment.
Nor dp we underestimate the difficulties, or the sacrifices
entailed in bringing about what ia nothing less than a blood
less economio' and social revolution. The picnic, peachea-and-crcam,
phase wifl soon pass. A new party will be born, and the
birth pangs will be nothing to laugh at. The time is not far
distant, when those who merely give lip service to the New
Deal, beoause that ia the "easiest way," wilMiave to atand up
and b counted. Then the roaotion will come, and the sheep
will have to be ruthlessly separated from the goats. The Mail
Tribune is entirely prepared for that ordeal.
.see
HOWEVER, we are not prepared to go with aome of our
hysterical hero-worshipping Democratio friends, who are
maintaining President Roosevelt
grcateat president since Lincoln.
Just how great a president he is, remains to be seen.- That
genuine "miraolea" have been worked aince hia inauguration,
we don't deny. But while not wishing to detract in any way
from the oredit dua the president, we maintain, the fundamental
cause rests not primarily in his extraordinary abilities, but in
the conditiona which surround him.
' We agree with Frank R. Kent, of the Baltimore Sun, a close
porsonal friftnd of President Roosevelt's and one of the most
astute political observers in the country today.
In the July Virginia Quarterly Review he makea it very
clear that President Hoover while politically inept and person
ally unpopular, would never have failed aa he DID fail, had
he had what President Roosevelt has had from the start,
federal patronage, a large working majority in both houses
and a scared country.
We quote :
It Is no criticism of Mr. Roosevelt to say that, under the
same ' clrcumstsnces, any other president wouU have had a
similar success with congress. It Is simply a statement of fact.
Other men would have had other proposals. They might have
been better than Mr. Roosevelt's or they might have been worse,
but they would have been accepted with Just as much alacrity.
Under such conditions there will always be In congress s
there Is now under-cover resentment. But there can be no
effective resistance. The point t make la that any president's
success In the "handling" of congress la exactly equal to the
degree In which he possesses three assets federal patronage,
party majorities, and a scared country. It Unt a bad thing to
have a scared country.

NO BECK ANIMAL Ag
Well, well, having disposed of rheu
matism, gout, the common cold, bil
iousness, nervous s ostrstton, dyspep
sia and one thing
and another by
declaring that
there Is no such
malady, I've been
scuffling all these
years with irri
tated readers who
Insist they have
mucous colitis
and why don't 1
ever say anything
about It. Once in
while X have
ventured to in
sinuate that such a person was In
error, but that only makea blm all
the madder and very likely he winds
up the set-to by writing an indig
nant protest.
Indeed I found so little profit quar
reling with mucous colitis patients
tnat I quietly dropped the subject
some years ago, and met all queries
referring to It with a blank avowal
of total Ignorance, or, worse, a fairly
dignified silence.
But at last I have decided to speak
about this supposititious Inflamma
tion of the colon and dispose of the
problem once and for all. Mind, tho,
I'm still Just as Ignorant as ever
about the nature, cause, treatment
or cure of whatever alls persons who
think they have mucous colitis, so
don't get any wild idea that I have
made a discovery about It.
What I have to say Is simply that
the term "mucous colitis" Is a mis
nomer which makes the condition
sound and seem much worse than it
usually is. There Is no Inflammation
of the colon In such cases, aa a gen
eral rule. Therefore It la a gross ex
aggeration to call the trouble "co
litis" that means Inflammation of
the colon. For quacks of which we
have plenty in the specialist busi
ness It may be a great little idea to
dub the complaint "mucous colitis"
If the unhappy patient happens to get
so upset over something that his
colon goes into a slight spasm snd
more than the ordinary quantity of
mucous Is secreted. The seriousness
of the sound of this name adds mate
rially to the anxiety of the patleut.
and then a few enemas wilt Irritate
enough to increase the mucous form

won't have him long, for either he
will soon reach the conclusion that
he knows as much or more than the
doctor does about the trouble, or
else he will hear of some bigger and
better specialist and fade forthwith
from your ken.
Patients who suffer from this pis
tle constipation should understand
that It Is not a disease which can be
cured by enemas or Irrigations or
freak diets. It is merely a symptom
or a manifestation of the general
panic or fear underlying the "ner
vousness." In practice the most sat
isfactory treatment for so-called "mu
cous colitis" is to Ignore the condi
tion as much as possible, and direct
the treatment to the patient's general
health. Of course the hidden or un
suspected source of fear or worry
must be dug out and properly dealt
with.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Par-boiled Versus Canned.
How does condensed evaporated
milk compare with ordinary pasteur
ized milk or cream? I prefer It in
coffee, and It lasts longer and Is
cheaper. P. J. P. f
Answer There la little choice be
tween them. But If you can have
fresh, pure raw milk or cream, that
Is far superior to the condensed, pas
teurised or canned products, in my
opinion. For folk who haven't a cow
or goat of their own, or a neighbor
who keeps one, certified milk comes
nearest the real thing. Try certified
milk or cream some time. Babies
know often they turn away from
pasteurized milk, but eagerly take
certified milk If they get it. Certified
milk costs more than ordinary pas
teurized milk, of course, and Is well
worth the premium price It com
mands. 'Frald of What.
Opinion of value of psych ltr lata In
the treatment of fear complexes. I
have been troubled with a combina
tion of fear complexes for a period
of five years . . . V. B. M.
Answer I should say an ordinary
physician would be the better confi
dant and adviser. If the service of
such s specialist Is required the phy
sician will refer you to the best spec
ialist for your case.

Toggery Bill and two gentlemen we
did not know were out to Modoc fish
Ing Tuesday afternoon and got caught
In ths heavy downpour of rain. Th.
lightning knocked a tree down near
them and your correspondent. They
got a fine lot of fish, which were not
Improved by the auto running over
them by accident. The fish were all
right, however, aa we sampled one.

Communications
Are xve Too Modesty
To the Editor:
I am going to blow your horn for
you don't seem to be Inclined that
way, aa much as a good newspaper
should.
The result of the vote on the sales
tax In Medford wo a great victory
for the Mall Tribune and due to your
Intelligent and convincing editorials.
Why not let the people know about
It? Medford was the only city In the
state to favor this tax and your
paper wa the only one In southern
Oregon favoring it. Had the other
papers of the state done as you did
the tax would have passed. They
all laid down on the job like a lot
of cheap politicians knew the tax
should be passed for the good of the
state, but would rather be popular
than be right. ... I am an old news
paper man myself and have travelled
over the country from coast to cosst
the psst year. The sales tax ha
been passed In seven or eight states
snd ha been a success In all of
them. It would have been a success
In Oregon and saved the people a lot
of grief which they will get now
and In a year or so your paper will
be able to say VI told you so."
Don't be so modest. The people
take you at your own valuation.
Don't you want a good press agent,
I will hire out cheap and sell you
to the people of southern Oregon aa
you have never been sold before. But
no fooling you did a great Job and
someone ought to tell you about It.
