Things naturally are beginning to warm up somewhat now, but for the past month or six weeks, no one outside of the candidates themselves have appeared to take any interest. Apathy of this sort is always unfortunate. For it gives the undesirable candidates, with some self interested minority be hind them, an excellent opportunity to slip in. The public in difference which allows this doesn't disappear until the votes have been counted, and then, unfortunately the harm has been done. e pi W a. U.B. Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry. Hoi Hum! AN ELECTION! There remains but three dnya And the fractional part of another, era the voter wendi his weary way to the polls to yawn a few votea for his country. There are ao many places where a citizen can have much more fun than casting a ballot, that he does not feel Inspired to tear his ahlrt and hair over something that does not matter much. He has noth ing to fret mad about. Few votors recall what they were angry about In 1026, or whatever year It was they got the maddest. It may be the elec torate Is expecting a paternal govern ment to also do their voting for them, and control candidate produc tion as they attempt to control pigs, cotton, corn, and what have you. The campaign has been marked win some old-fashioned, snappy ly ing, wherein one convict nobly de fends the honor of another convict, But speeches have been few, and very poor, and the canards scarce. No mud has been thrown worth men tioning. It has been a dry year, which may account for this lack. They could have thrown dirt, and had a dust storm, but refrained. In other years, at this stage of the hys teria, everybody was busy nailing lies. This Is due to a shortage of nails or lies, or both. The entire affair has been very ladylike and gentlemanly, and It looks like a pleasant time would be had by all. The Truth will prevail. It always does, but In recent years has been taking Its time about It. There have been no straw votes, and the silent vote has kept still. Both contribute to the damnable serenity. There have been no rascals In office, and few out of office. No John the Baptist has arisen, to sacri fice himself as a Janitor and sweep out the courthouse. The drivel has been light, and what little Inflicted, shot at the masses from a long dis tance. After the election, the people will feel like free-born Americans, Instead of fit subjects for a sanitar ium. Even 8. Morris, the terrific tiller from Table Rock, 1 too busy round ing up pioneer wagons to do a good Job of hating Wall Street, and a few eastern millionaires he never met personally. All In all, there seems to be a little good left In the human race, If you can find It, Experts predict that the total vote cast will be slightly less than the total number of beer parlors and ser vice stations. Some optimist think It will be more, but they are In cluding the hnmburgor stands In their count. AS has often been stated before, we get just what we vote for. If we as a people show no interest in an election, the result of that election, is no better than a disinterested electorate deserves. So with election day only four days off, the Mail Tribune urges the voters of Jackson county to get busy now, secure all the information possible regarding the candidates and issues, and make up their minds today, NOT to be among those missing when the polls open this coming Friday. Let's make this primary a true expression of public opinion in this section of Oregon. The self interested and undesirable always vote. Unless there is a marked change in the prevailing atmosphere, only a small percentage of those who like to call themselves NEITHER will. As a matter of fact every election day is a test of good citi zenship. Those who stay at home and let George do it, arc guilty of about the worst citizenship that a democracy can pro duce. So snap out of it, brethren. Make up your schedules now, so that nothing will interfere with your marking your ballot as you "WANT it marked, four days hence.

IF wc don't support good government when we have it, then how CAN good government ever be maintained f In recent years it has been harder and harder to get good men" to run for public office. And the chief reason has been, the lack of loyal support when they have given the best that's in them, to honestly and efficiently serve their constituents. "Why should I run for office" inquires Mr. Blank when called upon, it only means grief and sacrifice for me, with prob able failure in the end." The only way to cure that situation, is for the people of a community to support good government when they have it. The most appealing bums la the plan to whack up all the wealth. This Is the pet notion of a Democrats gubernatorial aspirant, who In a gen eral way promises to provide a full grown millionaire for every citizen now In a low flnsnclnl stM. This will be simple, and Involves nothing mora difficult than catching a mil lionaire and slipping a Boston crab hold on his wallet. Another plan la to turn tha stranded Into the bsnlu, but thla Is not so good either. A person has to be a mechanical genius or a college graduate, to open the vault doors. Pew are safecrackers, or experts In the use of nitro glycerine. There Is no sense In turn ing the banka over to the dear people If the combinations of the aafes re main In the handa of the plutocrats. ... Under tha present system of counting the votea, there are more losers than winners. This Is unjust, and could be adjusted by having mora ties, or neck-and-neck affairs. The losers always take defeat grace fully, and tha winners are not awk ward either. Besides, the word "loser" aounda mean. It should be changed to votelorn, and applied to those Jilted at the polls. PORTLAND, Ore., May 14. (UP) Mildred Miller, a, literally had a tem perature Sunday when aha awallowed the mercury out of a broken thermo meter tube. Hospital attendants last tught asJo. elie was recovering. IN the opinion of this newspaper, and we believe in the opin- ion of all citizens who have studied the situation, Jackson county has in the past year enjoyed good government, in fact the best in many years. ' There has not only been harmony in our county adminis tration, but there has been the highest grade of efficiency. Under the most trying and difficult circumstances, the county officials have worked as a unit, with only one end in view, to to give the people the very best that was in them. Under the capable and conscientious direction of County Judge Day, order has been brought out of chaos; people in suf fering and want have been helped, every possible economy con sistent with legal requirements, and the maintenance of effici ency, has been observed. The county government in other words has made GOOD, it has been tried and NOT found wanting. Friday Judge Day, and several other members of his V administration come up for rcnomination. They should one and all be returned. Their defeat will simply be the defeat of good government, and render the securing of good government in this county again in the future, the harder to obtain. Without argument I oonoed that all aorta of Invalid or YaletuHnarlana ar? more aenaltlve to weather changes and to momen tary variation of the environment than are normal folk. But that; give them no license to blame the climate the weather exposure for their troubles. I can listen, or rather pretend to listen, without cruestlon or com ment to the or dinary run-of-the-mill bla-bla about thla cheangeable weather making the rhumatlz, neuritis, sciatica or what have you worse. A doctor gets to taking it that way In self-defense Otherwise, he must go to the trouble of explaining, and people object to paying for the extra time that takes. Actually there Is no such aliment as "rheumatism," but It will cost you a aime ana a stamped envelope bear ing your address If you want to know what the Idea Is you can read all about It in the booklet "The Ills Called Rheumatism.' But when I hear some old fossil croaking about the draft or the damp ness or the sudden change giving him "more cold," I Just can't endure It. I must either burst out In en ungentlemanly haw-haw or take my- aeir out of earshot. Formerly I at tempted to reason with such Indi viduals If they looked halfway Intel ligent, but I never try that any more They are the very granddads of all wiseacres and long since their minds have set and are Impervious to any new i impressions. Of course there is an Intimate rela tion between surface conditions and the circulation. We all recognize this when we give ft hot mustard foot bath In the treatment of acute bron chitis, acut coryza or acute lnflam matlon of the ear (earache) or tooth ache from "ulcerated" tooth (abscess around the root). If It were possible to observe the mucous membrane lining the air pas sages in the nose, sinuses, throat. Eustachian tubes, middle ear cavity, we would see how the blood supply is regulated by vasomotor Impulse which comes mainly from the skin surface. Varying temperatures of air, water or objects In contact with the skin produces the vasomotor Impulse? which Increase or decrease the pro portion of blood In the voluminous capillary network of the nasal mu cous membrane. All this Is physlo logical and normal and gives no con scious sensation. Only when there Is some abnormality, some pathological condition present in nose, throat, nus, does one become unduly sens! tlve and conscious of the reaction to changes of environment. That's all there Is In the human barometer business. If you're one, you're an Invalid, and It Is wrong for you to attempt to regulate the conduct or mode of life of healthy people by your own ab normal feelings or views. Keep as comfortable as you can In all circum stances, but for goodness sake let other people enjoy themselves too, even if their Idea of comfort does not coincide with yours. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Aspirin In Heart Poison. Does aspirin affect the heart? I take at least one every day. O. K. Answer In my opinion It Is injurl ous not only to the heart but to the blood and the nervous stability. How ever, I know of no pain-killer or sense -deadener that Is less Injurious, and probably most of them are more injurious. I think anybody who takes such dope habitually or on slight pre text la foolhardy. No Apples Today. Kindly give me full particulars re garding the raw apple cure.

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre 11TK know all about tho promises of other candidates to do this, that and the other thing. Promises are easy. Any number of miracles can be performed in WORDS. Criticisms are easy too. It is easy enough to criticize, when one doesn't have to perform. But how about DEEDS I County Judge Day and his co workers have done their job and done it exceedingly well. Their record is there and that record stands. It would not only be base ingratitude, it would be a body blow to good government in this county, if the people should desert, them at this time. Judge Day 's Mileage IT is really a great compliment to Judge Day, that the only criticism of him we have heard, is tho unfounded accusation that he has charged the comity with more gas mileage, than he properly should. This is ENTIRELY untrue. IIu has only taken the gas mile age the law allows and inferentially the law DEMANDS. True he could have refused to take the mileage and have paid for it out of his own pocket. Trobably no one would have had tho law on him, for that. Rut just WHAT would such action have involved! It would in spirit at least been a violation of the law, and it would have been a violation of tho corrupt practice act. l'or as was held when Governor Jtcier told the voters of this state he would if elected, turn his salary back to the treasury, such action would virtually amount to a bribe. Not only that, but such action by Judge. Day, would practi- cnlly climinato anyone holding the office of county judge, who wasn t rich, or did not happen to live in Medford. For with tho county judge on the job practically evcrv dav in tho week, this gas mileage to anyone not living in the countv seat is a very material item. In accepting this gas mileage. Judge Day not only obeyed the law, but he established a precedent which gives tho poor man, and tho non-resident of Medford, an equal chance with the man of means who happens to livo here, when it comes to hold ing tho position of county judge. Isn't that a principle which in the interest of the people llipuM be sustaiucd instead o repudiated t CHICAGO, May 14. Chicago Is to me the rowdy of American cities, roaring with honest challenge, lush odors, and blunt defy. It has not emerged from civ ilization's laun dry, as has New York, with snowy cuffs, the scent of pomade and a twirl of the bam boo. Haircuts are still round. But there are no white corpus cles among the red. Bluff heart iness of the fron tier peeps through, despite mass formation of Wrlgley towers, built out of the lake boulevards and the shine of Its smart Michigan avenue shops. Of all big cities It has preserved Its rugged In dividuality. It Is not difficulty to understand why Chicago turned out such hell bounders or Journalism as Charles V. MacArthur. Ben Hocht, B. L.

By FRANK JENKINS QO far In Oregon, the sum of 1,819.108 has been allocated to ten Irrigation districts by tha drain. age, levee and Irrigation division of tha Reconstruction Finance corpora tion. These allocatlona are based upon appraisals made for the division by P. B. Thompson. Its appraiser, and are for the purpose of refinancing the districts, If possible, and get ting them going again on a sound basis. These appraisals, Incidentally, rep resent about 36. per cent of the out standing bonds of the ten districts UEFINANCINO. If It can be ac- compllshed, will be brought about In this manner: The districts, thanks to the gov ernment's help, will be enabled to say to their bondholders: "Jf you are willing to accept, RIGHT NOW, an average of around 30 per cent of the face value of your bonds, we can 1 borrow that amount of money from the Reconstruction Finance cor poration and pay you off." If the bondholders accept, the property owners In the district will have a new deal, with only a little better than a third, on the average, as much to pay off as they had before. They will have an Immensely bet ter chance than before to pay out and save their holdings. WILL the bondholders accept? Well, that la a question that can't be answered offhand. But, aa matters now atand, these districts are Insolvent, and all the bondhold er can do la take them over. Relatively few of the bondholders will want to be In the Irrigation business. So It may be they will prefer cash at the rate of around 38 per cent of fai value. M1I7HAT does this amount to?" you may ask. la It repudiation? Repudiation Is a hard word, and in this Instance It Isn't strictly ac curate. It would be nearer the truth to say that It represents a shaking down to actual values from values that were based In the first place on too much enthusiasm and too little actual knowledge of all the factors Involved. That Is to say, both sides have learned a lot about Irrigation In the past quarter of a century, and ac quiring thla knowledge, aa usual has cost money. rHE bondholders, of course, will have lost pretty heavily, but then security holders of all aorta have lost pretty heavily In the paat four or five yeara. If we knew all the facts, It might be that the strlnk age of these Irrigation securities has been no greater than the shrinkage of the average of ALL securities. Then we can't overlook the fact that property holders in these dls tricts have suffered pretty heavily, also. As matters now atand, with out tha Intervention of the govern ment, they have lost everything. THESE appraisals' have been made on estimates of abmtv ts, n. m,t on the basis of value of crops for the preceding three years. The preceding three yeara have been hard ones. If conditions Im prove, aa we all hope they will, pay ing out will be made easier. So, If thla new deal can be put through, these district will have an excellent chance of paying out and starting off debt free. VNE more question: Haa Irrigation, v as Judged by these ten dlstrlcU, which are perhaps an average of IV district aU ovar the west, been a failure? If you ar an Easterner, you may be Inclined to answer: "Tea." But If you are of the West, with your own future bound up In the future of the Weat, and above all If you have a fair memory of what these lands were BEFORE Irrigation, you will say unhesitatingly that Irriga tion HASN'T been a failure, and that the losses that have been suffered havs been due to Inexperience and lack of knowledge rather than to fundamental weakness of the whole Idea of Irrigation. AND you will also he Inclined to say, In all probability, that the drainage, levee and Irrigation divis ion of the Reconstruction Finance corporation, which la making possible this refinancing, Is at least one sound and constructive activity of the New Deal. 1 For Garden Kuwing Tel. 014-J.
