A candidate stands accused "of not doing enough talking, lor the people to judge him." The last time a can didate was Judged, by his talking, It cost the county approximately 66,000 This Is regarded as a high price to pay for a series of bum orations, and six months of glad-handing the vot ers. The flight of Samuel Inaull, Chi cago magnate, to Abyssinia, to escape the processes of American law, for high-powered financial hornswoggllng gives sandy and far-away Abyssinia some much needed publicity.

Call-Bulletin) (11,900,000 was bet at HIaleah '., Park at Miami, Florida, during the 49 day race meot. (Clilco, Calif., Enterprise) When a young woman connect ed with the welfare department of a southern county went to see a mendicant family she was sot upon by three police dogs quar tered In the Impoverished house hold, severely chewed, painfully hocked nervously and readily might have been killed. One of the Older Olrl la mad be cause of comment In these parts Inti mating that the womenfolks are diffi dent about voting, If there li any thing else to do. If the election was held today, she Is mad enough to vote. It Is a pleasure to note that Cong. Martin of Oregon, who became lucky politically shortly after his anger at Hoover reached its peak, U confident he will be elected governor. The gen eral reckons without Mr. Mahoneyi the fiery mayor of Klamath Falls, who Is also confident he will bo elect ed to the same high post. Most any time the mayor la apt to think of something catchy and free, that will cause the voter to knock the pick handles out of fielr own hands something like Fried Chicken for Everybody, and Free Oasollne. The masses would rejoice to have a candi date with a little orlglnalltyi one who would report, six weeks before a vote la cast: "I don't think I'll make It, I wish I wasn't running. It's no use. I'm sure 'of nothing except losing." - YES, WIIV DON'T THKYt The constant declaration that every man Is "made" by his mother or wife la very sweet and polite, of course, but there are objections to the gallantry; every foolish, Incapable woman man age to get her ahare of flattery out of th ststemont: many a woman be lieves she "made" her husband when she has actually been a millstone about his neck . . . There are millions of worthless men. (I believe this Is admitted by everyone.) Why do not their women folk "make" them, It It IS so easy? (Lamed Tiller and Toller).

CONGRATULATIONS to the Ashland basket-bailers 1 An initial victory in the state tournament is no small achieve ment, inevitably boosts a team's morale, and here's hoping, the first is followed by a second and a third. " If Ashland SHOULD reach the semi-finals, or grab the title, all southern Oregon will rejoice, and a county reception will be staged for the winners, which this section of the state will long remember. . . .. ' , UDGING by reports received by the present writer since his return a week ago, Medford and Ashland staged a miniature civil war over the basketball championship of this section. We are still somewhat hazy as to what it was all about, but regard less of the intensity of feeling aroused, Jackson county is cer tainly NOW a unit as far as the Ashland basketball team is con cerned. . '; . , , . In order to assure its readers the. result of today's contest the Mail Tribune bas extended the time of going to press, until the final flash is received. ' i We hope the news will be good. news, but if it isn't, if Ashland should lose the team at least can have the satisfaction of having made a good showing, and having upheld the best sporting traditions of this section of the state, ': Medford joins every other section of the county in congratu lating the Ashland team on its initial victory, and boosting whole-heartedly for its final success ! . . Mrs. Martin Opposes Mrs. Fehl WE are glad to agree with Mrs. Henrietta Martin, president of the Good Government congress, in her opposition to the candidacy of Mrs. Electa A. Fehl, for county judge. Mrs. Martin bases her opposition, upon Mrs. Fehl's INCOM PETENCE to fill the office, and explains further as follows: "We desire that the coming campaign be not a campaign of villlflcatlon and mud slinging, but a campaign conducted on the qualifications of the candidates seeking office, for It Is In this way alone, that we may select capable, honest men to fill , I city, county1 and state offices." ! . , To which the Mail Tribune pronounces a fervent "AMEN!" For over 20 years this paper has fought for competence in public office, the elimination ot personalities, generalities, mud slinging and villification, in political campaigns, we are glad, AT- LAST, to get some help from a source, where for so long a time, it lias been conspicuously lacking. ' . . ' , Might we add that Mrs. Martin in her search for competence, for a capable and honest man to fill the place of county judge, need go no further than to give her hearty endorsement to the present incumbent, Mr. Earl Day I ': AH candidates of course, in an effort to GET into office, CLAIM to be honest, efficient, and everything the voters might desire, but Judge Day has this distinct advantage over all pres ent and future claimants, he has PROVED himself to be just that. His supporters need not claim anything, leave anything to conjocture, they have merely to point to his record, to the accomplished FACT. f ;1 ; ' K NYONE who will fairly study that record, consider the "V trying circumstances under which Judge Day took office, will agree that a BETTER county judge MORE honest, MORE capable, MORE tireless in his effort to serve the best interests of ALL the people, ALL the time, has.never occupied the place in the history of this section. ; .,.: Then why not consider the incident closed, Mrs. Martin As far as the judgeship is concerned, your search for honesty and capability in office, and elimination of mud slinging and villification in the campaign, need go no further. : ; The retention of Judge Day in office, will give you precisely what you, and your organization, desire !' .', NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY 0.0 Mclntyre . NEW YORK, March SJ. Wall Street continues to simmer but will not boll. Yet It remains one of the moat opti mistic strips in the metropolitan area. Many efficient traders have de ssrted board rooms until the sun shines, but the hangers-on re still there. Hoping! The most strik ing change' la no ticeable at the noon hour, when clerks and . ste nographers used to overflow the sidewalks. Now the mid-day escape la a mere riffle. Lunch rooms that once had lines of the waiting are only uomfortably fill ed. There are no noonday spreads on Trinity's grave. The string of costly limousines that used to begin the parade down town at 10 a. m. has shrunk to a straggly few, and the morning flotilla of yachts that streamed from Long Island etates has dlmlnuendoed to zero. Wall Street Is using the subway and elevated. It la estimated clerical for? have been shucked down more than two thirds, and that breeay optimist known a the customer's man la al most extinct.

One al I most expects to find a Doctor John son lifting a tankard on one ot the well polished benches. The waiters, In colonial costume, are plump and of high cheer and It's a sane place to alt, meditate and paint your picture of the future, It any.

Sutton Place, which mushroomed out of alum muck around East 87th street Into one of the plushlest mid town strip, Is threatened with disin tegration on account of It acute traf fic problem. So congested is the pea cock area and so scant are transpor tation facllltlee, people who live miles away are able to reach tha theatre and restaurant tone more quickly. As a result, msny are trying to get rid of their lease and unless some arrange ment are made In a Jiffy realtor fear a wholesale exodus. Like an abandon ed mining camp. r In the meantime placid Greenwich Village Is on tha upswing and threat en to become a residential Valhalla again. Nearly aU It Bohemian takery ha vanished and artistic crowds, sn smock, sandals and berets, are mov ing in.

A medical man sends In a hand some brochure about a salve that seems to enjoy considerable popular ity with physlcl- ana of the credu lous claaa and we Itave a lot of 'em In practice for the inside pages are replete with, testimonial letters which pur port to have been written by phy sicians, tho for some curious rea son the docs pre fer to remain an onymous. Wonder what they were ashamed of? The brochure contains some fine illustrations. One shows just about the prettiest nurse you could find tn seven counties, or at least a young lady with a nifty waitress cap and everything, in the act of applying some of the salve to a patient whose pulchritude positively distracts the eye from the nurse. And aa tho that were not enough to remove the last doubt of the prospective customer, there Is a second scene in which the nurse plays the Lady with the Lamp. In this scene she holds & kind of portable reading lamp, I should call It, so that the powerful white rays beat down upon the snowy bosom of the patient. The legend under Scene II reads "Driving the (Nostrum) in With Heat." Altogether it makes hot stuff. The friend who sent me the Item for my collection marked one passage printed In italics, which the nostrum makers have probably found effective in disposing of any little skepticism the gullible physician might have: "It has been assumed by some that the absorptive power of the skin Is comparatively small owing .to the protection of the horny cov ering of the epidermis. It will be seen, however, upon examination of the illustrations, that the epidermis has abundant openings in the se baceous glands and hair follicles, through which drugs in suitable form may be readily absorbed." To any one with even an elemen tary knowledge of anatomy and phy siology It is as absurd as would be the argument that since there Is an open ing thru which sound, air, light and liquids may enter "the ear, a person may talk thru his ears with a little encouragement by the right nurse. " One doctor was so delighted with the free sample boxes of salve the nostrum maker sent him that he smeared up the environment with It quite recklessly while the supply lasted. But everything cornea to an end eventually, and when the doc had no more free salve to dispense he bethought him of an old trick where by It Is possible to get another half bushel sample cans out of the average nostrum firm. He sat down and wrote a note of praise for the stuff, putting Just a suggestion In his testimonial that he would like to experiment further. This quaint old gentleman solemnly states that he had a bad attack of gout an entity I confess I wouldn't know If I saw, and I doubt any other physician would and he used the salve on the affected Joints. After he had been applying, the salve (containing lodln) for a while the laboratory pathologist found traces of lodln in the analysis of the urine. The doctor says he had not taken any lodln or Iodides internally. So he seems to think the presence of the trace of lodln in the urine proves that the skin absorbs lodln. Oh, well, aa long as we have such simple, credulous men in the medical profession, we can't blame the laity for being so gullible. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Daminns Are Easy to Digest Bananas are hard to digest. Why? (P. O. B.) Answer I know of no reason to think so. Ripe banana la an excellent food for puny infants. It should be fed to every Infant. Banana pulp when thoroly ripe, sweet, yellow, soft but not mushy, will prevent and cure many Intestinal troubles of poorly nourished Infants. Coffeln A chemist tells me that coffee Is beneficial because of the cartel n it contains. He says caffeln Is a mild stimulant which does not cause after- depression. However, he admits that Whose Fitful Sleep Fitful, fretful slumber and those 'bad ilreuinV aro sometimes caused by cnting thinus hard to digest, or eating loo near bedtime. Hut a more common cnuso is constipation. II clogged with waste, a child can't relax; the wholo system becomes affected. You just can't give the ordinary cathartic at such an hour. (Indeed, laxative of adult strength are never suitable for children.) See next column for a way to make the child comfortable for the ,mj night, and insure the. needed bowel movement next morning: ar 6M Urady, M.D. coffee may be harmful If boiled, be cause of the tannic acid released by boiling. Now I, and many other per sons, believe that fresh coffee that has not been boiled at all Is a cause of bilious or acid reaction, due to the caffeln content . . . (B. R.) Answer The chemist Is right. But he told you that only once, whereas others tell you something else over and over until you believe what they tell you Is so. Your final question: Why do so many eminent physicians regard coffee as harmful? indicates the source of your lore. Can you blame an eminent physician who re gards' coffee as harmful? Overweight Persons Should Not Drink I believe beer now contains around 4 per cent alcohol. As n "overweight" I am Interested In the caloric content of beer, also such wines as sauterne, chlanti, Rhine wine, etc. How about a little beer or wine between meals or with meals? (B. H. B.) Answer So far as body weight Is concerned, the glass of beer or wine may be estimated to give about three fourths as many calories as a glass of milk does.

Comment on the Day's News , By FRANK JENKINS. nWA, In this writer's humble and possibly inaccurate Judgment, Is a tremendous flop. Its purpose la to spend -money on public works In order to relieve the depression, but It Is so slow in getting under way that with any luck at all the depression will be over long be fore PWA really begins to function. WHEN will the depression end? Well, if the government's tre mendous and breath-taking efforts to put a stop to it don't scare people to the point where they are afraid to do anything at all ON THEIR OWN ACCOUNT, it ought to get over this year. It would be over now If business wasn't still afraid to try to move under its own power. A SOUTHERN OREGON real estate man. Just back from California, reports that farm land Is beginning to move down there especially those tracts that are being put on the mar ket at extremely reasonable prices. . On these tracts, he says, where the water has all been squeezed out of the price, It Is possible to put up 20 pe cent In cash and borrow the rest from the government. Deals like that can't be turned down. 11HERE are the buyers coming Tf from? Principally, It appears, from the Middle West the good old source of supply for most of California's new population. The Middle West hasn't lost confi dence in California, and apparently tho Middle West isn't as badly broke as we have been led to believe. Its people can find the money with which to take advantage of what they re gard as a bargain. AS TO this confidence of the Mid dle West In California, he says: "A bond man down on the bay told me the other day that his house has sold so far 91,345,000 of bridge bonds, and of, these bonds, $135,000 have been sold In San Francisco, and ALL the remainder In two or three states of the Middle West." Fault? or Bad Dreams To turn a nervous, wakeful child into a peaceful little slumbcrcr, try two tenspoonfuls of n delicious fruity syrup you con get from any druggist. Just have him to give you a bottle of California Syrup of Figs. Any boy or girl wilt love its taste. It starts at once to sweeten a sour,, bilious system; and next morning, after moving about, the child will have a thorough, natural bowel action irom ine gentle action of the senna, if it is the real California Syrup of Figs. THAT statement Is exceedingly in teresting for two reasons: (1) Because it indicates that the Middle West still ha confidence in the stability of California and the Pacific Coast; and (2) Because it in dicates that the Middle West still has money. ' Both of these reasons are Interest ing to us here tn Oregon, aa well as to the people of California. WHY?. . ( Because experience teaches us that when a Middle Westerner comes to 'California and buys a piece of California land, the Callfornian who sells out, about nine times out of ten, comes up here Into pregon and buys some good Oregon land.. California land sells at what to us up here looks like mighty high prices, and Californlans are smart enough to know that they can come up here and do better with their money either by converting an equity Into property or by selling a smaller piece down there and buying a bigger one up here. BESIDES, Oregon especially Southern-Oregon, Is Interested in ANY THING that benefits California, for California Is our best customer, and whatever helps our best customer helps us.
