During his two terms in that
a record for constructive accomplishment, and intelligent leader
ship, which, in the opinion of this paper, has never been sur
passed in the history of that organization.
This record has been all the more remarkable, because it has
been made during one of the most severe business depressions
in the history of this country
INSTEAD of being disheartened by what was nothing less than
a widespread financial and
of Commerce, under President Bolger 's direction, and the very
able assistance of Manager Banwell, seemed stimulated by it.
Instead of losing ground as
tions did, the Chamber of ominerce, steadily gained, in prestige,
accomplishment and membership.
During this period the chamber was completely reorganized,
not only in what might be called its mechanics, but also and
more important its spirit.
Instead of being an organization devoted largely to hot air
and back-slapping, and thon
rejuvenated chamber became an orfeinization of practical busi
ness development, ALL THE TIME.
And instead of being interested solely in Medford and what
might improve Medford, it became interested in the entire
county, and what might improve Southern Oregon. The final
act of the Bolger administration in fact was the formation of
what is ho longer exclusively a city, but is really a COUNTY
Chamber of Commerce.
It was during this administration that many citizens of the
rural districts were first placed on the board of directors, and
it was during this administration, that committees were formed
to improve rural conditions, and secure development and
growth, not in this city, but outside of it.
IN other words during this period, Medford was given a Cham
ber of Commerce that IS a Chamber of Commerce a wide
awake, business like organization, with its head on its shoulders
and its feet on the ground, earnestly devoted to the best in
terests of this section of the state, industrially, economically,
socially. , .
It has been a fine record, and one that not only all members
of the Chamber of Commerce, but all citizens of the community,
may well be proud.
In selecting Ben E. Harder
the board of directors could not have made a better choice.
With Manager Banwell still on the job, with business conditions
in Southern Oreeon steadily improving, President Harder, given
dent .Bolger was given, can t tan
to even bigger and better things.,

WE don't know very much about General MacAlexander, the
''rock of the Marne" who is a candidate for the Republi
can gubernatorial nomination. ,
But we like two things he said, in a recent radio address.
First, that if he. had his way, no public official would be
allowed to run for a second 6tate office, until he resigns the
first, and no governor would be allowed to dictate who should
sit with him on the state board of control. (This means the
general opposes the Holman plan.)
Second, that if elected he will see that the people of Oregon
are not discriminated against in the price of gas and oil, over
the people of Washington and California. ' .
The Mail Tribune feels now, and has felt for some time,
that the people of this state, particularly those of Southern
Oregon pay too much fCr gasoline.
Wo would like to see the state conduct a thorough investi
gation into gasoline prices, determine the exact facts, an
investigation fair to oil companies and fair to the people. As
far as wo can determine, General MacAlexander is the first
candidate for governor to promise such a thing, and we there
fore score one in his favor.

Richard Bennett, veteran actor and

wife, Angela R, Bennett.
The five-page complaint, contain

a fortnight ago with their Joint an

A few days later Mrs. Bennett, with
bruised face, swore to a battery com
plaint against the elderly actor, but
the case was allowed to lapse.
The principal charge by Mrs. Ben

an alleged Indiscretion In their own

Sherlock and

A set off across the

or able night
when they wash

of the Basker-
Tllles. That was
the night I was
certain I had
heard something.
A night my
household will
never forget, I
am afraid.
Just once I was hela up and robbed
at the point of a weapon that closely
resembled an automatic. It was a dull
affair. Nothing like the experience
one has In nightmares. The chaps
who relieved me of my change seemed
rather diffident and apologetic. The
miscreants one encounters in a bad
dream are much uglier customers; - In
fact, they usually have all the Indi
cations of mania or dementia. - All
the harder to deal with. No telling
what erratic move the so-and-sos will
make.
The fiend who has surprised me
time and again and who Invariably
has the best of the encounter, con
ceals himself behind the door of the
furnace room with his 16 -Inch pou
lard or a spiked club or a gleaming
hatchet, and confronts me as I turn
back from adjusting the drafts on the
furnace. ' It Is exasperating. I can't
seem to holler for help, and I never
can remember to peer in there be
hind the door BEFORE I enter the
furnace room. But my rage at being
unable to holler above a feeble moan
and at having forgotten to explore
the space behind the door aa I en
tered the murder chamber probably
redounds to my advantage, for so far
I have always managed to struggle
free from the clutches or the Incubus
and regain enough . consciousness to
comprehend there's somuthlng odd
about the affair. If one could only
remember to begin analysts of the
dream at the Instant of breaking free
from the incubus, one might learn a
good deal about dreams. But the Joy
at finding that you have suffered no
serious injury from your ghastly ex
perience crowds other thoughts out
of your confused consciousness for
the moment. By the time you do
calm down and begin to think It over
the features of the episode are already
fading back Into the subconscious be
yond your ken. But who knows any
thing about that mysterious world?
NEW YORK
DAY BY DAY
BY O.O.McIntyre
NEW YORK, May 3. In a world
poised on a pinnacle of doubt, there
la a heart-twisting calm among the
lees of a Bowery
mission. Here are
men who have
reached the zero
of despair, a blur
of human kelp,
and yet the ma
jority have faith.
They have not
lost the will to
hope.
Every mission,
of course, has Its
large percentage
of chrontc drift
ers, resisting all
currents for bet
terment. But there is surprising
quota to those who, having touched
bottom, expect to rise again. I stop
ped In at the evening services of
Hadley's Fescue hall recently.
Cracked voices were singing a fa
miliar hymn while a few in postures
of fatigue and bad booze slumped
on the benches. At the testimony
period a stalwart middle-aged fellow,
with a Scotch burr, stood up. His
fervor seemed to burn away the dull
tissues and ember a symbol of
promise.
He had been a drunkard and in
many prisons. But for eight months
he had lived straight. That day he
had mad 80 cents at some odd Job.
The first work In five weeks. Once
he had made $11,000 a year. He would
again. He felt It so tremendously
that somehow you believed he would.
From the Bowery I Invaded, the
warren of mean, dirty streets that
tangle and skirl about Brooklyn
bridge. Under the bridge arches clut

Americanlred version of the pot au
feu known as Mulligan stew. In a
group about one blaze, an exhorter
in a liquid exiled manner was ex
pounding a doctrine I suspect was
communistic. I edged a curb and
listened respectfully. His anger at

OP THE INCUBUS.
Nobody does. Not even Prof. Freud
himself. It Is all conjecture, enter

some Instances, this psycho-analysis
whereby presumptuous specialists at
tempt to pry Into the subconscious
and explain all repressions, obsessions.
Confessions and transgressions. As
a rule, tho, It Isn't worth the price.
Here I endeavor to suggest merely
the means to promote quiet restful
sleep and to prevent disturbing
dreams and nightmares.
Excessive food of any kind, espec
tally a lata supper for one already
overnourished, Is a common cause of
bad dreams. Coffee taken late In the
evening makes many have bad
dreams. Too much smoking at night
often causes nightmares. Alcoholism
is a notorious producer of monstrous
nightmares.
Sleeping under heavy covers,
even light covers that are too warm,
or In a poorly ventilated" place or a
room that is not cool, invites dls
turbing dreams.
One who is feverish, as when com
ing down with crl, Is likely to have
an endless wearisome dream with
muttering nightmares.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
A Good Blood Builder.
Wouldn't it be quite 6ut of your
province to suggest some simple rem
edy which would build up weak
blood? I am anemic and nothing I've
tried seems to have any more than
a temporary stimulating effect .
T. C. H.
Answer Complete directions for
preparing and taking such a medicine
are given In the booklet "Blood and
Health" send 10 cents In coin and
a stamped envelope bearing your ad
dress, and ask for a copy.
No Chronic Appendicitis.
Is there such a condition as chronic
appendicitis? How Is It detected and
how should It be treated? P. B.
Answer No such condition is rec
ognized. Such a diagnosis is a guess
which the doctor would like to sub
stantiate by an exploratory look-see.
Croup.
Please write something on spas

quest any more. Send stamped enve

Seen Brightening of Eco
nomic Horizon' 'Busi
ness Being Bled Views
By J. R. BRACKETT '
WASHINGTON, May 3. (Jp)
Strong criticism of the administra
tion was mingled with praise Wed
nesday before the 22nd annual con
vention of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States.
Henry I. Harrlman, president, open
ing the first general session, report
ed the new deal's first year had seen
brightening economic horizons every
where. Immediately following, A. W. Rob
ertson, chairman of the Westing
house Electric Manufacturing com
pany, made this statement:
Says Business Bled.
"The treatment ailing business Is
receiving reminds me of the patient
who was purged, and when I say
purged I mean purged; bled white
with leeches at both wrists and tem
ples; fed a powder of dried beans
and yet, said the old account, he
died."
Robertson, In his attack asserted
planned economy was "undoubt
edly necessary." but added that "w
need better plans, not more plans."
Harrlman asserted actual unem
ployment had been reduced to four
millions. He praised the abolition of
child labor, and then laid down the
rule that:
Frank, constructive and helpful
criticism Is desirable from every
standpoint; but rejecting and block
ing desirable reforms will result either
In national suicide or In complete
revolution."
Has Some Criticism.
While generally optimistic and tem
perate, Harrlman mixed In some crit
icism of his own.
He contended the securities act
must be changed, asserting it Inter
feres with the flow of capital Into
the heavy goods Industries, in which
most of the nation's unemployment
la contained.
He said the Index of business ac
tivity bad risen from 61.7 In Febru
ary, 1933, to 78.5 in March of tho
present year, and that the whole price
level Index in the same period had
risen from 59.8 to 73.7.
Declaring there were about seven
million people out of work, Harrlman
asserted that about three million of
them are normally unemployed, leav
ing the present excess at around four
millions.
Robertson made a detailed state
ment In answer to specific criticisms
of business objecting to the assump
tion that because there were bad
parts' the whole should be condemns i.
Attacks Bruin Truster.
He also attacked A. A. Berle, Jr.,
one of the original so-called brain
trusters, whom he quoted as saying
that those who worked out the or
iginal recovery program were con
cerned only with a machine that
worked, regardless of whether It was
"rugged Individualism, fascism, com
munism, socialism or what-not."
"I confess," Robertson said, "the
scope of such planning takes my
breath away. It may not make the
slightest difference to A. A. Berie,
Jr., but it makes a heap of differ
ence to some 123 million other peo
ple In the United States."
