Editorial Correspondence
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 12. Coming down the only
stop was made' at San Jose ye editor yielding to a rather
morbid desire to see where the two Hart kidnapers were lynched.
Two bare patches of dirt mark the spot the virtuous civic
authorities ordered the trees dug up, so as to keep them from
being destroyed by' souvenir hunters.
Now after getting what we assume to be the official attitude
of San Jose toward this recent necktie party, we regard sacrific
ing the trees as altogether foolish.-
It would have been much better all around, to have placed a
board fence around these two trees and charged ten cents ad
mission. For according to the middle-aged gentleman on guard
when we arrived and who, though he may have had no official
right to do so, noting the Oregon license, proceeded at once to
give us the Chamber of Commerce view of the tragic incident,
this hanging party was one of the greatest things that ever hap
pened to San Jose from a financial standpoint.
We started the conversation by observing somewhat tritely
"So this is where the lynching took place."
"You mean HANGING" corrected the middle aged gentle
man, in a tone in which authority and amiability were about
evenly balanced. "There was no lynching in the usual sense of
the word, it was a perfectly orderly and dignified civic uprising,
a notice to the. world, that kidnapers better keep away from
San Jose, California."
"Somewhat as there was no earthquake in San Francisco"
we ventured, "there was only a fire."
The San Joscan paid no attention to this remark, but con
tinued as if he had a speech prepared and intended to deliver it.
"The people of this country, particularly the eastern people
of wealth, are in constant fear of kidnapers. If they have chil
dren, those children must be constantly guarded. Even the
older members of the family are not safe, as recent incidents
have shown. It is no exaggeration to say eastern people of
means are in daily fear and terror. The police and the courts
have utterly failed to cope with the situation.
"San Jose yes, and , the state of California has served
notice that there is one place in this country where people of
wealth can live and be absolutely safe. We have talked of being
out of the tornado belt, free from floods and thunder and light
ning, free from ico and snow now'we can say to all the world
come here and get out of the kidnaping belt. Wealthy people
have already moved here. More will come."
"That is very interesting" we observed.
"Yes, sir. Of course there has been some criticism and a
great deal of misunderstanding, but when the truth is known,
certainly publio opinion will approve that sense of summary
justice, which brushed away the Jaw's delay and the expense of
; litigation, and gave those two
they deserved, and which all principles of civilization and jus
tice demand."
It was really very amusing and quite surprising. Not only
what the man said, but his pontifical way of saying. We regret
we didn't have time to go into the matter more thoroughly and
really determine whether his being there when we arrived was
merely a coincidence, or whether the city of San Jose really
has a guide there to pass on the propaganda to tourists who
may happen along.
After we had left an excellent booster slogan for the San
Jose Chamber of Commerce occurred to us to be emblazoned '
in gold letters on the front page of the next illustrated booklet:
"GET PUT OF THE CYCLONE BELT AND COME INTO
THE LYNCHING BELT 1"
ONLY, as our middle aged
"It WASN'T a lynching 1"

HOW RED IS
The heart of an adult pumps ap
proximately six ounces of blood into
the aorta (great artery) at each beat.
Physiologists es
timate there Is
from lght to
nine pounds of
blood In the
hnrfn nf an ssaHilit-
. f weighing ISO
pounds. From 20
to 36 heart beats
would pump out
all. the blood In
the body. It
takes 23 seconds
for the blood to
make the com
plete circuit through the arteries,
capillaries, back through the veins
to the right side of the heart, then
through the lungs and back to the
left side of the heart again.
Blood In the arteries or In 'the
left side of the heart ,1s brighter
red than blood In the veins or In
the right side of the heart. But when
bleeding occurs who could be calm
enough to deduce from the bright
ness of the color whether It comes
from atrery or vein? Anyway, It could
do no good to make such a dis
tinction. The emergency of bleeding
from a wound calls for pressure upon
t the wound Itself or. If It is in a
; limb, pressure or constriction around
the limb above the wound. There
Is only one sign that shows the
bleeding Is from an artery, and tim
is spurting which varies rhythmically
with the heartbeat or pulse Blad
ing from a vein la a steady flow
The chemical reaction of the blood
I la always alkaline, but only slightl
! alkaline. It Is still alkaline even in
the state known as "acidosis," thouph
'In that condition the alkalinity is
( Idw, or as physicians say, the alkali
i reserve Is diminished. This Is a talk
j about blood and not about acidosis,
so we'll leave the subject of acidosis
with the remnrk that acidosis is a
sign or one manifestation In many
different diseases, but w never due
to wrong diet alone.
Almost anyone but a doctor or a
physiologist knows what "Impure
blood" means, or how simple It Is for
a charlatan to get "Nature" to cure
whatever you Imagine alls you, by
eliminating the Impurities you so
readily believe are clogging your
caplllnrles. But further than to ad
mit I like to keep my own blood
nice and pure and tolerably rich,
I haven't the slightest notion whar
the near-doctors mean by "Impure
blood." Or by their imposing term
"toxic wastes" in your "system"
Just which system the quacks do
not say, probably the whole bloom
ing system of systems or whichever
you prefer.
But let's study the circulation a
little more. If you get t all clear

QUESTIONS AND" ANSWERS
Swimming Pool
Is It dangerois to go In the pool j
at the Y in ? Mother refuses
to let me go In swimming there be-v'
cause of the danger of germs, al
though the pool Is under the strictest
sanitary rules , . . (Miss R. C.)
Answer Notwithstanding the best
sanitary measures there is always a
certain risk of contracting Infection
where many persons bathe In the
same water. Swimming Is a most
healthful exercise, and i regiet I
cannot recommend auch pools.
Heat to Destroy Fugua
Some time ago you told how water
at 115 degrees would kill the ring
worm parasite or fungus but ome
people can't stand that much heat
on the feet. For two week have
soaked my feet once a week (three
times to date) In hot water as It
runs from the tap at a temperature
of 130 F. I found that by alternate
ly dipping In the foot then with
drawing it from the water a few
seconds one can finally keep It In
the water at 115 to 120 degrees with
little discomfort. I find that every
trace of my Itch has left. (T. A. T.)
answer Thank you. Probably
water at 115 degrees F. does destroy
the ringworm fungus In a few mln
utes. If one can stand that degree
of heat.
Flaxseed
Please tell me how much flaxseed
one should take at a dose and
whether you mean ground meal or
the dry seeds and . . . (T. H.)
Answer There is no dose. Perhaps
a teaspoonful or two of the raw flax
seeds, once a day, washed down with
water, or taken with Jelly or with
cooked cereal or as you prefer Is a
fair , amount as a natural Internal
lubricant.

DUNN TO DECIDE I AWs I
POLITICAL MOVE &nd
IN NEAR FUTURE '
Political Interest In Jackson county
now centers In what Senator George
Dunn of Ashland, Is going to do
about running for re-election. Sen
ator Dunn Is expected to make an
announcement within a few days,
whether or not he will seek a re
turn to the post he has held for
the past eight years. Friends the past
week have been urging the solon to
file.
Victor Bursell of the Central Point
district announced last week that
he would seek the state senatorial
toga. Bursell, for 12 years a county
commissioner, has long had a desire
to enter the legislative halls. He Is an
active campaigner, and well known.
William N. (Farmer Bill) Carle of the
Applegate, Is also flirting around with
the state senator berth, but has not
made up his mind. Carle holds to the
theory that all candidates should
have opposition.
Circuit Judge H. D. Norton Is ex
pected to announce shortly for re
election. He haa Indicated to friends
that he would file "at the proper
time." Attorney A. C. Hough of
Grants Pass, has announced, "I will
run." Hough was identified with the
defense In several of the ballot theft
trials, and was chief counsel for Earl
H. Fehl, In the trial at Klamath Falls
that resulted In his conviction of
ballot theft In 12 minutes. The Jud
icial race Is non-partisan. If only
two file their names will not appear
on the primary ballot, but will be
voted upon at the - general. Both
Hough and Norton are of the Demo
cratic faith. A Judicial candidate un
der Oregon law, must be a lawyer,
and have passed the state bar exam
ination. Clntous McCredle. chief of police
of Medford, filed for sheriff on the
Republican ticket Saturday. He has
had considerable experience In pol
ice work, and la well known, par
ticularly In this city. Assessor J. B.
Coleman predicts there "will be no
shortage of candidates for sheriff."
So far. Chief McCredle and Robert
E. Bell, are the only ones to make
declarations. About a down have been
mentioned" as possibilities. Sheriff
Walter Olmscheld, la expected to seek
election. Sheriff Olmscheld had told
friends, "there was no rush."
Under a recent ruling of the ad
ministration, no person employed by
the CWA, CCC or on government re
covery projects, can run for office,
and retain his position.
The final date for filing la April
3, and It is forecast that the "woods ,
will be full of candidates," long be
