Applegate, vete ran of the aouthern Oregon Indian vara, and the patriarch of aouthern Oregon ploneera, whoae family name It scrolled large and often In the early history of Oregon, la dally court visitor. Tuesday morning he appeared wearing -a cap of the type uaed by Union soldiers In the Civil War. He Is a beloved and pictur esque figure of the Klamath country. County Clerk George R. Carter, two of his deputies, Mlases Nydah Nell and Helen Dugan, arrived Tuesday. Mlaa Jeaale Maatln, court reporter, called as a defense witness, . arrived with them. . o r Robert T. Baldwin, mechanic, Klamath Falls, the final regular Juror clrasn, was born in Ashland 50 years ago.' He moved away when a I'd of seven years. 00 Klamath Palls continues to mani fest only passing Interest In the ballot-theft trial of County Judge Earl H. Fehl. It Is no general toplo ot conversation, and, aeldom heard men tioned away from the courthouse. o Medford people In Klamath Palls Monday night were kept awake by the beat, and the deep-voiced whistl ing of the Hill line trains. The heat was made bearable by light breeze In the daytime. , 0 Oliver Martin, one of the co-defendants in the ballot-theft Indictments, was formerly a Klamath county road supervisor, and. when he lost that Job, ran for county commlsatoner, It waa brought out Tuesday In the questlon lng of former Cou,nty Judge R. H. Bunnell of Klamath county. Bunnell waa county Judge when Klamath Palls had Its three-cornered courthouse fight. Bunnell said he opposed Mar tin tn the election, and he was de feated. 0 0 0 Klamath Palls has a olvle club that discusses civic problems at breakfast. The session starts at seven o'clock with a song. 0 0 0 A great many of the tallamen ex amined In the Pebl case, knew, 'or had heard of "Pop" Gates, and Ralph O. Jennings, former therttr. Many had never followed the ballot theft ease, but had been avid readers of the details of the L. A. Banks murder trial at Eugene. ' If you mall a letter In Klamath Palls In the morning, It reaches Med ford 48 hours later, and the Chamber of Commerce has threatened often to do something about It. Klamath Palis has one blessing It aeldom sees a hitch-hiker. 00 P epsratlons are under way for the state convention ot the American Le gion here, atartlng August 10. This Is more on the public mind her than any trial, or by-product of one. THAGKER TO FACE TRIAL ON ASSAULT Charles Thacker of this city waa arraigned In Justice court today on a charge of aasault and battery, tor an alleged attack upon his wife, result ing tn a broken nose. Ball waa set at (300 and the case will be tried as soon as the district attorney Is ready to proceed. Judge w. R. Coleman an nounced thla afternoon.

No Time to Strike! WITH millions of men still out of work, and American in dustry as Is whole, just emerging, weak and trembling, from a three years illnuess, it seems incongruous that a general labor strike should be called in the lumber mills of Klamath Falls. ... According to report the men want shorter hours and higher wages, and insist upon closing the mills until their demands are granted. The men have been badly advised. As President Roosevelt declared over the radio, Monday night, this is no time to strike. Nor is it a time to profiteer. It is a time for employer and employee to cooperate, submerge what differences they may have, in the common purpose of bringing this country indus trially out of its tail spin. A STRIKE in the lumber industry is particularly inexcusable now, when the new lumber code is being prepared, which will establish working hours and wage scales throughout the country. Men who now are employed, getting regular wages even if those wages are low-should be grateful for their good fortune, and ready to accept any decent wage scale, at least until the terms of the new code have been agreed upon, Such hasty and ill advised action on the part of mill workers in Klamath Falls, can't help but react unfavorably, not only upon them, but upon organized labor as a whole. This is no time to rock the boat, particularly when the storm is still blowing, and the boat is none too seaworthy. The sooner the labor leaders in Klamath Falls call off this strike, send the men back to work, and tell them to await the comple tion of the lumber code, the better for all concerned. Is Fighting Crime Futile? D IIEGNER of Gold Hill hag a communication in today's paper, which maintains, that direct attack upon the crime wave is futile, because the causes of crime are imbedded deeply in the imperfections of our social and industrial system. Elim inate those imperfections, and crime will cease. Retain those imperfections, crime will go on, and on. This is a familiar argument. And of course, as every Btu dent of sociology knows, there is something to it. Make this a perfect world, where every person in it has his proper niche a round peg in a round hole and organized crime would un doubtedly largely disappear. But the task of making this a perfeot world has been going on for many centuries, and has to date met with rather indif ferent success. It seems rather foolish to us, to drop direct attacks upon organized crime, and wait patiently for the mil lcnium. We fear there would be few law abiding citizens left to enjoy it. KJOR do we agree direct attacks against organized crime are ' futile. Social and economic maladjustments are certainly more prevalent in Europe than in this country, and yet orime is far more serious here, than over there. In our judgment the chief reason is the difference in our attitude toward orime, the way we, as a people look at it, and the way we treat it in the courts. We hear a great deal of TALK against crime, and yet when we come down to cases, we do, as a people ROMANTICIZE it. After the first outburst of horror at some fiendish deed, we sit. down and let the sob sisters, and sentimentalists have full sway. We ery out against the crime wave and oriminals, and yet we sit idly by and let our courts go on, following a procedure, which gives all the breaks to the criminal, and renders prompt and certain justice practically impossible. ""PHIS newspaper is convinced the crime wave In this country could be checked tomorrow not wiped out of course, but GREATLY reduced if the American people would refuse to countenance this nauseating sentimentalizing of the criminal, on one hand ; and insist upon a state that is the people upon an equal footing with organ ized crime instead of forcing it continually into a game, in which the cards are from the outset, stacked against it. With these two major reforms, and with CONTINUED ef fort to improve our social and industrial system, for the greater benefit of the common man, we are confident that the battle to wipe out organized crime, would The Sucker Crop Never Fails TPHERE are two sides to all questions. In a recent Colliers, an appeal is made for laws truth make it a crime to deceive investors with fake informa tion. This is one side of the question. The othor side is, "that a sucker is born every minute." e e OUR postal laws are now adequate to punish the dishonest promoter, whether he operates in Wall Street or Podunk. And many have been caught in the federal net, during the past few years. But that doesn't stop the graft, nor does it protect the future victims. Trying to secure honesty by legislation, or to put common sense in the head of an "easy mark", by the same method, we regard as equally TTTK have plenty of laws in hope as we see it, is through education. Avarice is a deep-seated human sentiment. The slicker's desire for easy money, and the "sucker's" desire for the same thing spring from a common root. In the long run both come to the same end, they find to their sorrow that "they can't beat the game.' e e e e a IN tliis department of human frailty and perversity, we fear, experience is the best teacher probably the ONLY on. . If laws prevent one graft, some other will be tried. If fhe people get wise to one flim-flam, another will be devised. The desire to get something for nothing to get rich without working is too elemental to be eliminated by legislation. The only remedy aa we see it, is to keep on preaching the sins of greed, avarice and duplicity and let Nature take ita course. For after all the strongest opponent of the fakir, as he trods lis primrose path, is the sucker who has once been stung procedure, that would place the soon be won. to compel promoters to tell the e futile. this direction now.

Tba traditional malady of tba i claaaaa, gout, ba beooma uaplcloualy rara In thla age of toluptuouintat. Ona need not aeak far for tba explanation Modern diag onals la baaed on method of pre cision. No longer can a doctor, no matter bow emi nent "pronounce" thlnga tbua and ao. If aclentmc teeta fall to tub atantlata his opinion the great apeclallat'a anap diagnosis la worth no more than the guess of any other doctor. The theory on which the concep tion of gout waa baaed waa that an excess of uric acid accumulated in the blood or In the affected tissues. In aome cases a rough and ready teat of the blood aeemed to bear out thla theory, but accurate chemical testa have shown that aucb an accu mulation of an excess of uric acid Lt a common occurrence In all sorts of ailments far removed from a "gouty", state. So the physician who atlll ventures to brand a complaint "gout" Is more romantic than prac tical. There must be a few classical quacks left, for the medicine makers still offer "uric acid eliminators" to the medical profession. Mucous colitis la another affecta tion of the classes which proves equally unsubstantial on analysis. Persons who haw the mucous colitis complex will please keep their tem per until I explain that I do not In sist there la nothing the matter with the poor gink who develops this mor bid complex. I merely say the chances are all against colitis aa a correct diagnosis In such cases. Colt t La means Inflammation of the colon, the large intestine. Colitis can and doea happen, of course, but when it doea the patient presents no such symptoms as these victims of the mucous colitis complex have. That is a fair, scientific statement of. the facts. A correspondent writes: Z cannot thank you enough for your advice to take flaxseed. Alter 40 years a trial of i few weeks has completely cured me. (The correspondent doesn't say. but I believe he refers to the constipa tion habit). But I fell the other day and to be sure no bones were broken saw a young doctor here In town.

A. Banks, "as an act ot courtesy", and would show that Fehl was at dinner In his home, when the state holds he was on the basement floor of the courthouse, discussing robbery plans. The first witness called by the state was County Clerk Oeorge It Carter of JacXson county, who Identi fied records and court documents. He was followed on the stand by deputy clerks Nydah Nell and Helen Dugan. who testified to the removal of the ballot pouches from the vault to the courtroom. Shangle on Stand. Verne Shangle.

Eventually, I suppose, aome ona somewhere will find mouse's neat In a cat'a ear. Meanwhile I believe a dally ration of whole flaxaeeda would be fine medicine for what alia many of the most obstinate victim of the mucous colitis complex, espec ially If one could have the addicts under absoluate control and prevent them from using any other me d leant or treatment or freak diet, for a while. On the other hand I warn such suf ferers that It la moat unwlte to "try" flaxseeds along with any other kind of treatment or remedy, except, of course, with the approval of the phy sician in attendance. Named In the order of their enor mity as factors of the distress or functional disturbances dignified by the name of "mucoua colitis": Intro spection, laxative, monkeying with one's diet, and finally resorting to enemas or so-called colon Irrigations.

Frank Ham, and Marie Newson, ot Klamath Falls, and will so remain until the case la finished. Robert T. Baldwin, a mechanic of Klamath Falla, was the twelfth regu lar Juror selected, snd was subjected to long questioning by both sides. Baldwin was non-commlttsl and eva sive In some of his answers, and brought a Judicial frown, from the court. Just before recess. The court Inquired of jurors ac cepted during the afternoon session. If they would require time to go home and make preparations for a stay away. Baldwin asked, facetiously: "Do you want ua to go home and get a bed?" The court repeated its inquiry firmly. The defense In Its queries aaaea Jurors If they thought people had the right to assemble, and to meet and discuss questions with their county Judge. The defense also wanted to know what quantity of proof would be necessary to show conspiracy. The atate asked Jurors If they would accept the testimony of ac complleea. If corroborated, and If they entertained any bias against such testimony, explaining that sev eral ot the state witnesses had plead ed guilty, and admitted their part In the ballot thefts. Attorney Moody told the Jury, "This Is Jus( an ordi nary criminal case." Louis Nol, retired.
