When the special session of the legislature convened, the prediction was made that the august body would Indulge In some monkey-business, act giddy, and otherwise not be what It was aupposed to be. The foreeaat caused great and righteous indigna tion, within the oul of at least on top-notch politician, and a Salem paper. We are Indebted to the Ore gon Voter for Exhibit A, and partial proof which la aa followa: A straddling mouthy resolution, pretending to condemn lynching while covertly commending Oov, Rolph for disgracing California, In reality discrediting our court and our ludree, was Introduced by Representative Prank Hilton, On motion to euspend the rulea most of the representative wer able to grasp the purport of the oral reading of the text and voted against suspending the rules.

We now allege that all atateiran at Salem are not Senator Dunn, and, furthermore that th above prove It. "CHRISTMAS APPROACHETH" (Hdllne Bissau News.) Olad to hear It, and tbnk tor th Information. The People Now On Trial DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S remarks accompanying the re- peal of the 18th amendment are brief but very much to the point. He urgei the people to scrupulously observe the laws regard ing liquor in their respective states purchase liquor only as the law provides and as individuals do everything in their power to advance the cause of temperance. We hope this advice will be followed. It certainly should be. As has been previously pointed out there can be no PERFECT system of liquor control. No matter what the final system adopted in this state, there will be objections to it, and imper fections in it. But once that system is incorporated into law, there is only ONE COURSE for the good citizen to pursue, namely to ob serve the letter and the spirit of the law, just as long as the measure remains on the statute books. There will be another inescapable duty, to stand behind the law enforcement agencies in enforcing the law, against all of its violators, WHOEVER THEY MAT BE. This is the obligation of no one individual, no one depart ment of the government, it is a universal obligation, resting ujon the shoulders of every man and woman in this community and in the stt. 'JMO matter what the final system may be, it will be a success " if the 'people get behind it, and scrupulously observe it. For such action will gradually reveal whatever defects the mea sure may possess, and with the support of publio opinion, they can from time to time be corrected, and a more satisfactory system be ultimately evolved. But if those who don't like certain features of the new sys tem, insist upon disregarding it, and because of the acquiescence or indifference of the people, the enforcement officials, let such violations go by default, then not only will that system fail, but any substitute will fail. Conditions instead of getting better will get worse. And the only outcome will be a return of absolute prohibition, which will take us right back where we started from. For that dismal failure, the people, who were given their chance to secure a better solution of the liquor problem, than absolute prohibition provided, will have only themselves to blame I It Is Something WE are glad to see the bill giving the criminal no advantage Over th. RtAt.A tft t.VlA matter A nlmllAnrrAa baa nananA I - " J"'J ...... t : one house and promises to pass another, j This is a step in the right direction. The measure making it I Impossible for any member of a jury, to determine the verdict or that jury, by holding out against the others, is also up for consideration, and should be passed. We live under a government of majority rule. There is no reason why one member of a jury, should be given the power, to overturn thesverdiot of the other eleven. Moreover in actual practice, this provision has greatly enoouraged corruption and jury fixing, with the criminal lawyers having only one member of the jury to reaoh. Providing a majority of 10 instead of 11 will not stop jury fixing of course, but it would render the job just twice as hard. This is SOMETHING, and therefore ANOTHER step in the right direction. TTHE entire criminal code and procedure should be radically revised, and the legal profession should do it, but in spite of many resolutions passed and promises made, nothing definite has been done. It doesn't look as though anything would be. So the only way out appears to be for the people to do the job THEMSELVES, through their legislatures, PIECE MEAL, being oontent to make progress, slowly, but never abandoning the determination to so reform and improve our courts, that they will no longer be a haven for the crook and outlaw, and a disgrace to our civilization. California Paper Scores Rolph j Sunday night mob of (000 people overcoming officers of th law, bat tered down the doora of th Sftn Jos Jail, dragged out the two murderer of young Hart and hoisted their bleeding and battered bodies to tree In th park, until lit was ex tinct. Th lynching wa a cruel and brutal on. Mob law la that way. But th court have broken down. Christ drove th money chanters out of th tempi saying, "Y have mad this a den of thieve." Our court today are too often a place of wrangling lawyer whoa sole purpose Is to win for their client. Silent for years the people sr now awakening. And the horrible affair at San Jos la a forerunner of what will com. Unless conditions Chang. Th courts must be cleansed and restored to their rightful piece of re spect and veneration In the minds of th people. The crooked politician and th crooked Iswyer must go. - And that will be a big step toward eradicating crime. Oovernor Rolph aay th lynchers did a good Job. Yet the governor's conduct during hi Incumbency hsa been on of ex treme leniency toward ertmtnala. He haa pardoned criminal by the wholesale. He haa sought every available ex- iUe to release men and women from prison. He has reprieved Jack Oreen T or S time from hanging. Oreen and a companion committed an atroclou crime In Lo Angel and th companion paid th penalty. But th governor haa stopped Oreen' hanging because Oreen did not fir th actual shot. Tet the law and the court have pronounced Oreen equally guilty. They have sentenced Oreen to hang. And Rolph refuted Just aa b ha don in so msny case. Certainly such leniency baa It ef fect. Th Hart murderer knew that only on murderer In a hundred I ever bung. MEDFORD MAIL They knew that a life sentence only meant seven and one-half year. And they knew w had a board of prison director who act on the be lief that th shorter th term the better, and who ar continually re leasing vicious criminals on society. But they dldnt know that the people might rise up In a mighty rsge and take the law into their own hand. And that's Just what happened. It I well tor th people of Cali fornia to compare th action of Gov ernor Rolph and Sheriff Smlg of San Jose during the riot. Both these officials, when taking office solemnly swore to support th constitution and to enforce the laws. Th sheriff, when he w that trouble waa brewing, secured SO depu ties from neerby cltle nd then asked the governor for help. The governor not only refused help but Issued a statement to encourage tba mob. Sheriff Bmlg remembering his oath did hla utmost to uphold the lew. risxing nia me until Deaten imu unconaclousneaa.

Prevent htm from breathing for three or four mln- rrutea and be will probably break the habit and never breathe any more at all. But It Isn't worth whUe stop ping hi breathing for only half a minute; makea no difference at all If he skips eight or ten breath now &nd then. That won't disturb his metabolism seri ously. Immediately following the In terruption his breaming win auto matlcaUy Increase In rate and depth and two or three mlnutea later he will have caught up with hla regular schedule. WeU, now, you almanac-educated folks will not understand this, but I'm telling you and no physician or physiologist or health authority will venture to contradict the assertion, that Wie action of the bowel la aa automatically controlled or regulated as la the breathing. From long ex perience I know that not more than one or two In a hundred who read this will succeed in grasping the solid scientific truth of the assertion. The rest will frown, smile knowingly and wonder what kind of man Ol' Doc Brady Is, or whether there really la such a person. , While there are millions of Indi viduals who devote a good deal of thought and anxiety to the "regula tion of the bowels" and never permit more than a few hours or a tew day delay to occur without resorting to some more or less violent physic, medicine or enema; on the other band, there are millions of Individ uals who are aa Indifferent and un concerned about the action of the bowela aa they are about the action of the heart or lungs, and they never use any aperient or other artificial aid. Of the two classes, the latter are Invariably the healthier and hap pier. I grant you that this health and happiness, this oheerful frame of mind, la in itself conducive to normal functioning of the bowels and the lungs; and the anxiety and morbid Introspection of the former else tends to derange or Impair these automatic Internal functions. Liver pills, so-called, were the greatest "repeaters" the nostrum and quackery world knew up to the dawn of the glorious era of "Rus sian" oil, "Bulgarian" bacilli, "Japan ese" seaweed and "Persian" birdseed. Every little dose of any of these nos truma added to what ailed you made you feel you needed more of the same stuff. The secret of success In the physio business Is to get cus tomers into the habit. That what : almanacs, testimonial and constant dally warnings are for. NLW YORK DAY BY DAY 3y O. O. MclntyTe NEW YORK, Dec. 5. Ogden Nash seems the white-haired boy among Juvenile Jongleurs.

As obviously simple as his rhyming appears not one has acquired his crispy ness. Such light-footed lines encompass a cupidity and downright nut tineas. But in this fusion there Is concealed a baab that somehow deflates all the new class of exploiters. Nash la death to the windy boys of the radio, short selling bankers and other clowns In the American comedy. Of all poets he la the most confus ing. He refuses to let people have confidence In anything and rake the great off high horses with a single cock-eyed line. Also and quite Im portant these day he r.aa made poetry pay.

Our thoughts have made us what we are; They oft ennoble, can also mar. The fruits of thought we can enjoy; They also have power to destroy. Man Is master of the mind. Where thoughts take shape of every kind; Thoughts mould character, good and bad; We have the choice to be glad or sad. A noble character can't be bought Are results of inner noble thoughts. Dishonest thoughts, they seldom fail To land such thinker into Jail. Within ourselves we possess the law, For good or bad results can draw No such thing as good luck or bad Depends on kind of thoughts we paid. Man's mind Is like a fertile field: What we sow, that It will yield; Left fallow, weeds will grow In soil, To raise crops requires constant toll.
