It seems that Mr. drey Is slways fishing some place. But recently he returned from Tahiti, and was depleted standing beside a giant swordfleh yanked up by his Jaws to the spanker boom. From the extent of his wrltlnge It la difficult to com prehend how Zane has any time to fish. And, does he get due notice In the press every time he swishes a flshpole?

To play the game, to keep the currents going from the depths of sidereal spaoe to the shallow pool by the roadside; from the rise and fall of nations, to the brief hour of the minute summer Insects, the one overarching purpose eeems to be to give free rein to life, to play one form against another, to build up and tear down, to gather together and scatter no rest, no end, nothing final rocks decaying to build more rocks, worlds destroyed to build more worlds, nations disintegrating to build more nations, organisms per ishing to feed more organisms, lire playing Into the hands of death everywhere, and death playing Into the hands of life, sea and land Interchanging, tropic and Arctic meeting and mingling, day and r.lght winter and aummer, chasing esch other over the earth what a spec tacle of change, what a drama never completed I (John Burroughs; "Acceptance of the Universe.'' XL MIMiea Buy at 'IVL& business men of Medford have responded with loyalty and enthusiasm to the appeal of President Roosevelt, through the N. R. A. to balance creased commodity prices, with increased employment and increased wages. The business men have done their part. But the local N. R. A. drive will never be a unless the people of Medford now do THEIR part. Their part consists in supporting the loyal and patriotic business men, by giving them Complying with the code has money, which they can ill afford. increased business. I 'HE people of Medford can and they alone can supply ways; first, by making their they can afford to do so, and prices. In other words calling has been such a large factor in starting a buyers drive. SECOND, BY BUYING AT THE MONEY AT HOME. Statistics are not available, a great, deal of money is sent San Francisco, which would honored slogan "By Medford adhered to. TNDER normal conditions a ing is to be expected, although in the opinion of this news paper, it is poor policy at any time. For larger stocks in larger cities are always a temptation, and where certain quality arti cles are NOT handled locally, purchasing them elsewhere will to some extent be carried on. But present conditions are NOT normal. This community and the entire country faces an acute economic emergency. It is engaged in an economic war. Buying at home under such conditions is an inescapable patriotic and civic duty. There is no excuse for any resident, at Buch a time as this, doing OTHERWISE. ' . "IF eaoh before his own door swept the village would be clean." If every article that CAN be purchased here, were purchased here the sending out . of money from this valley entirely stopped, not only -would the N. R. A. campaign be a complete and immediate success, but permanent prosperity would return to this community in record time. Judge Sktptoorth s Farewell LIKE most outsiders, when Judge Skipworth of Lane county first came to Medford to preside over the ballot theft trials, it is doubtful if he understood the seriousness of the local situation, or ita exact nature. No one who had not lived here through the months of strife and turmoil, COULD understand it. But as the cases proceeded, aa the incriminating evidence piled up, as damaging facts were added to damaging faots, the presiding judge undoubtedly came to see the local picture in its true light, until when the trials finally olosed he probably had aa clear and firm a grasp of the local situation, as anyone in the state. .. This was clearly shown by Judge Skipworth's final word to the people of Jackson county, as after an arduous and trying ten weeks, in Southern Oregon, he returned to his home for a well earned rest. A brief resume of his remarks from the bench follow i "The trial of these cases to me has proven that law and order haa not, and did not break down In Jackson county . . . The whole trouble In this county goes back to Banks and the vicious doctrines advocated by Banks. There Is the whole trouble In a nutshell. If It hsdn't been for that continuous publication I doubt If I would have been here today, or any . of these people who have been brought before the bar . . . Hereafter It seems to me that all violations of law ebould be dealt with summarily. If snybody start talking revolution from the courthouse steps, they ought to be put in Jell AT ONCE. Thafa all there la to It I That sort of tMng can't be tolerated cant be allowed to go on. This Is a government of law end not of men and I trust them will be no difficulty hereafter In Jackson county. It has been a blow to this county, all this trouble and agitation. It has spread throughout the state been heralded In the press, and has been a great detri ment both morally and financially to this county one of the finest countlee In the state and fine people. . . . But there was a sort of element, It seems to me stirred things up to such an extent, that It was for the courts, and only the court to deal with. , . . Tills has been accomplished. All law violations within this county and within any other county of the state of Oregon, should be dealt with by the proper law enforcement officers, without fesr or favor, promptly and summarily, so that order may prevail, not only In Jackson county but every county In. the atate of Oregon. . . . With this my work In Jackson county U finished." . We wish every citizen of Jackson county would cut out those remarks above and paste them up somewhere where they can be frequently read, so that the lesson they teach may never be forgotten. IJERE is the final judgment of one of the foremost jurists in the state, a man whose honesty, Integrity and fairness, are above question, and who from personal experience knows precisely what, the local situation has been, and is today. The long ordeal just closed, hag been costly costly in money, in time, and in community morale but we believe it has been worth all it cost, if it finally accomplishes what it SHOULD accomplish, teaches the people of Southern Oregon once and for all, that the time to put down incendiary agitation and destructive propaganda, is WHEN IT STARTS; and that there can be no sentimental tolerance or quarter, for those who, behind the smoke screen of reform, seek to tear down the form of government under which we live 1 T WELCOME JUDGE County official! yetr1a After noon held an Informal reception for County Judgej Burl B.

Contrary to your belief. X believe It la high time that the male of tbe species be given an equal break, and both sexes be held equahy responsible for their own moral delinquen cies, for the benefit of better moral standards. As I see It, and no doubt un told other men, the present "ac cepted" theory of laying the blame only at the man's door Is out of date, If It ever was Just and proper. Your correspond ent, A. A. P.,. 1 perfectly right If ne assumes the bride should have to undergo a thorough ex amination Just as well as the bridegroom. Is she not mother of the children to come? No re sponsible woman should shirk the duty to establish her fitness for married life and motherhood. The decent woman need have no fear of the physician's examin ation. This ts a point tbe man should absolutely Insist upon be fore marriage, and the law sbould take full cognizance of It. It does not help matters In the least to Ignore well known, ob vious facts and to persist In an ostrich-like, absurd, one-sided attitude. There are. without question Just as many decent men as women, and to pamper either sex while eh If ting the blame on to the other can only do harm. Equal rights, equal responsi bilities. No sense to hush things up and be partial to either sex. A man owes some loyalty to his own sex, even though It profits him with the other sex to take the chivalrous attitude. There la not and has not been for at least IS years a "double stand ard." Our "high culture," or standards of life and modern the ories, the lack of opportunity to mate early In life and establish a home, are responsible for the rather loose and lowered moral standards of the day. In other words, human blood haa not turned white, neither In man nor In woman, and if moral conditions are not ideal, they In dicate a revolt against repres sion of normal sex life and the handicaps of modern existence. All theee things you should State Press Comments On Conviction ofFehl Clcanln 'Em Up. i Assistant Attorney Oeneral Ralph Moody haa effectively and efficiently cleaned up the Jackson county politi cal mess growing out of the turmoil and "revolution" that so long at tracted the valley of the Rogue as a result of the machinations of Llewel lyn A. Banks and County Judge Earl H. Fehl. Out of six trials held, there were five convictions and one ac quittal, which speaks for the thor oughness of the prosecution. Fehl was really the Instigator of the "revolution" for he has been ac tively and persistently crusading for It for over 30 years. Ignorance, Illit eracy and effrontery were in his case blended with cunning, suspicion and crookedness and he has been proven guilty of all the crimes he so long accused practically all public officials of. His four years prison sentence' is mild punishment, considering that through his machinations there have been two homicides, numerous as saults, ballot robberies and a near civil war. Banks has been convicted of mur der In the second degree for slaying peace officer attempting to serve summons on him and will be sen tenced to life imprisonment this week. Though the organizer and leader Of the "revolution." he was but a cats paw In Pehl's hands and plainly a victim of acute paranoia. His mes sianic complex secured a large mo ronic following of dupes. Both Fehl and Banks secured their following through publishing news papers. Neither had any training In newspaper work or knew anything about the craft they discredited, yet like many others whose only qualifi cation Is vllllficatlon and character assassination, they are styled "edltorsr Placing them In the penitentiary aids In the purification of the press. (Salem Capital-Journal.) Political Prlwners We Have None. In applying for parole of a partlcl pant In the ballot box episode uv southern Oregon, the attorney for the defendant argued that special con sideration should be given his client because the crime of which he stood convicted was a "political crime." The court, it may be said, was not Impressed by the argument, and prob ably the lawyer who advanced H was not very hopeful that the court would be lmpre!ed. The slender basis for so defining the crime la that the breaking and entering .and the de struction of public, records were In spired by a political controversy. It implies that ft buralary perpetrated in the name of politics ts less a burg lary than one perpetrated In the pur- no to appropriate the property or another. We still tolerate some excesses in know, Dr. Brady. So please let us face the facts and deal with them In a fair, Impartial manner. Very truly yours. Our friend says a mouthful. It Is the most impressive exposition of the question I have leard, and I have heard a good many. The very first health talk I gave in this column, befor some of our most esteemed readers were born, waa a plea to the' parent or guardian to withhold ap proval of an engagement of the young woman until the suitor has preaented his health certificate, and a suggestion to the young man to obtain and of.'er his certificate to the parent or guardian when be seeks such consent or approval. My observation Is that parents and guardians generally shirk their .duty In this, as In other things pertaining to the happiness of children. Per haps, after all, the problem of pro viding a certificate of fitness for mar riage Is best left to the mutual con sideration of the man and woman who- are vitally concerned.

This demand has found expression In adoption of the Australian ballot system, the direct primary, -the corrupt practices act and other safeguarding statutes. They comprise a substantial section of the laws of the commonwealth. Indeed, In the eyes of the law "political crimi nal libel" la a worse offense than or dinary criminal libel. "Political crime" In the true sense Is unrecognized In -this country and haa always been unknown under our system of political freedom. The term in Ita correct application means dis agreement with the policies of a ruler or dictator or party in power.

(Oregonian ) Medford has "seen It through" in the ballot theft case and other Inci dents that threatened for a time to disrupt that community. Llewellyn Banks la sentenced to life imprison ment for murder. County Judge Fehl will spend the next four years m prison; the so-called "good govern ment league" has been discredited, 'and It now looks as though Medford's long period of turmoil la drawing to a close. True, a fist fight resulted In one more fatality last week, but this was more In the nature of an anti-climax than actual resumption of hos tilities. The forces that rent Medford asunder for many years at last have been routed. The conviction of Fehl la balled as the crowning achievement of a long series of trials that followed the theft of ballots from the Medford court house after Sheriff Schermerhora was faced with demands for a re count of the vote by which he was elected. Fehl waa the ringleader In disturbances In that city from time to time. Numerous lesser lights also face prison terms as a result of par ticipation In this conspiracy. Prosecution of these ballot theft cases has cost Jackson county many thousands of dollars, at a time when this money easily could have been used elsewhere. In fact, there was a demand In some quarters that the issue be dropped, after Banks bad been convicted of murder, on the theory that all concerned had "learn ed their lessons" and that no more trouble was In prospect. This would have been the easy way out. To the great credit of Jack son county officials they decided In stead to go ahead with prosecution. Irrespective of the consequences. They realized the cost, and also the danger that lax jurors might disagree or even acquit some of the defendants, restoring them to ascendency as "vin dicated" of any crime. The situation was clear. The law had been violated In an attempt to keep a "good government" man In of fice, following an election that might have been "fixed." No one can say for certain that this waa the case, but the mere act of Sheriff Schermer horn and his followers In destroying the ballots so that a recount could not be made, was sufficient to In duce suspicion. To have permitted participants In this outrage to go unpunished, even though the expense of trials was sure to be heavy, would have been an ad mission Of weakness when victory was In sight. Accordingly Medford wisely decided to go ahead with prose cution, and subsequent events have vindicated this stand. To the Medford Mail Tribune must go much credit for its fearless and uncompromising stand for Justice and fair play, throughout the dark days of Medford's disruption and on to the present. At one time a large fac tion at Medford, including many good citizens, had been misled Into be lieving that Banks and his followers really meant what they said, and were champions of the people as opposed to the "special interests." It took real courage to carry the torch under these circumstances, but the editors and publishers of the Mall Tribune never faltered. The newspaper fraternity of Oregon sa lutes the Mail Tribune as having lived. To tO 36 MORE AT NO MORE with TEMPERED Before you buy should come In for the evidence of extra mileage In U. S. Tires.
