Politicians are blamed by the chief of the Department of Juatlce lor consideration accorded criminals, In and out of Jails. It might not be untimely, while cussing the poli ticians, to say a few unkind worda about the aob-slateri, and the aob- brothera, who Inevitably llonlu the criminal, and snivel over the Jut fate meted him. Thla class often figures approhenslon of the culprit, by constituted authority, Is a greater crime, than the one with which he la charged.

RAN'Y excellent suggestions are being made at Attorney " General Cummings' crime conference in Washington. At the outset of the conference President Roosevelt stressed two vital points. First, the necessity of coordinating all law enforcement agencies, federal, state and local; second, arousing the people of this country to the need of a united, aggressive and CONSTANT public support, behind such law enforcement. The necessity for the first step is generally acknowledged. The necessity for the second step isn't, because many believe, public opinion is sufficiently aroused already. This is true immediately after some major crime. But the public memory, when crime is considered, is notoriously short. . "A KE the Lindbergh baby kidnaping and killing as an out- standing example. Immediately after this' unspeakable crime, and for perhaps a year longer, there was no need to stir up public opinion concerning it. The apprehension of the guilty party would have resulted in an immediate and overwhelming demand for his punishment, while guards around his jail to prevent lynching, would have been in order. But what a different situation today! The suspect in the Lindbergh case is enjoying a peaceful existence in a New Jersey jail. According to press reports, soft hearted ladies are already worrying about his Christmas dinner, and the fact his wife and little baby will not have "daddy" at the Christmas tree! v Aided and abetted by the defense attorneys, stories are ap pearing in the press, tending to throw doubt about the defen dant's guilt, and make it appear the poor man is being railroad ed to the chair, As a result public sympathy for the defendant is obviously growing. WHYT Because the American people are any LESS opposed fn R1ir.1l a orimn a nrima that n,iM Atilu l.aira hnnn nm mitted by a "veritable fiend in human form"! No. But because they are beginning to forget the Lindbergh case is gradually receding into the past, the justifiable rage aroused by such a deed is slowly but surely dying down. 11E make this prediction. If this man Hauptmau is convicted of this crime and sentenced to death, before the sentence is carried out there will be plenty of perfectly respectable and law abiding citizens, who will fall for the sympathy plea, who will sign petitions for executive clemency, who will work them selves up into such an emotional state, that they will be con vinced in ridding the world of such vermin nu injustice is being done. Tn other words that united, aggressive and CONSTANT pub lic support for law enforcement, of which the President spoke, will be lacking. . . Y"ES in the final analysis it is public opinion that determines such things. And we can fight the crime wave, from sun rise to sunset, improve the technique of apprehending criminals all we will, but UNTIL we secure a public opinion that will stand 100 behind justice and behind law enforcement, not only at the time of the crime when excitement runs high, but long after when it has died down, slight progress can be made. What we need in such matters of courso is less emotion and more sense j less hysleria, and more thought, a little less intense feeling at the MOMENT of the crime; a little MORE intense feeling, when the time arrives to consider the crime in retro spect, in an atmosphere of cool reason, and a culm appraisal of the salient facts. ... "HOWARD this end wo believe the suggestions of Joseph B. Kcennn, able assistant attorney general and Frank Ilogue, mayor of Jersey City, made at this conference, arc worthy of most serious consideration. Mr. Kcenan, successful prosecutor of kidnapers, believes the "names of all persons sponsoring paroles as well as those of individuals writing to authorities asking clemency for convicts should be available to the public." Endorsing this view Mayor Ilogue declared: "I don't see why any person who is willing to stand up for somebody shouldn't be willing to have his name made public." Nor do wo. If such people are not really ashamed of such action, or don't secretly doubt its wisdom, then we see no reason why they should insist upon hiding behind the cloak of anonymity. CL'CH publicity would have a salutary effect in this state as J in every other. Not that it would immediately lengthen tho public memory or eliminate the sob sisters entirely; but it would necessitate a period of serious thought, before any hasty action were taken, and as before stated, in this mutter of com batting crime, more thought and less feeling, moro light and less heat aro the primary needs. Edi orial Comment Keep Hint In No gift coult be mor pleating to the recipient than that of an exe cutive pardon to an Inmate of a penitentiary. It would be welcome at any time, but In the Christmas Rea son, aentlment might even enhance its apparent worth, it would be wel come to any convict, but again, to one who la serving a life sentence and who has. Indeed, barely started on the serving of that sentence, par don would be a gift beyond price. That Is the sort of a gift which Is being sought for Llewellyn A. Hunks former Medford publisher, now In the state prison at Salem. It Is. how ever, we submit, a gift which the governor of Oregon has no moral right to beatow. , Bunks was convicted of second degree murder. Ha shot and killed a constable who came to his home to serve a warrant or arrest. The killing was without excuse. A l-ane county Jury for the trial was held, not In Medford. but In Kugene found It so The supreme court refused to order a re -trial, Hanks was admitted to the peni tentiary leas than lfl months ago The case la recent enough that its circumstances and the events leading to It will not have faded from the public memory. It will be remem bered that Hanka was a leader In creating the dissension which took on virtually the arect of a county civil war. Ballot thefts, for uhlch if men cm ere parted against sonic of Banks' political associates, were features In the unpleasantness which divided Jack son county. One of the three sentenced on ballot theft chargea has already been paroled, and the release of the Others Is fore cast. Such release could be Justified, possibly, on the grounds that the convicts were but tools of the former Medford publisher, it Is perhaps the fact of the ona release which has been already made that has given rise to the report that Banks' pardon Is also being sought. But to free the man who was not only the starting point of the Jackson county strife but who. through his needles slay ing of a minor officer, set himself above the law. would be to turn loose once more a menace to society. It would be hard to believe that Oregon's governor could be seriously considering such action Judge Robt W. Sawyer In Bend Bulletin. POULTRY BREEDERS TO TALK CODE AT MEETING 8AIT.M, Dec.

Some whole or unbroken peanut kernels may be advantageously added to various salads.

Order these from Government Printing OfMce, Washington, D. C. All things considered, a nickel or a dollar spent for peanuts Is a better Investment than the same money spent for beefsteak or bread or po tatoes, instead of regarding peanuts and their products as relishes or delicacies we should use them as a staple of tho everyday bill of faro. il KSTIOS A N I N S K it S Old Doctor Hook Can you tell me of a home doctor book or healthbook or first aid book equal to your "Personal Health?"

No, not wild turkeys shot down out in the wilds of Oregon, for we have none, In spite of a number of ef forts on the part of the game com mission to transplant , them; but wild turkeys propagated In captivity, as we propagate trout In commercial trout ponds. They were grown by John Abrams. over In the Umpqua valley. WHY grow wild turkeys In captiv ity, when the tame ones are so toothsome? Mr. Abrams will find no difficulty in answering that question. His ans wer will be: "Because they command a PRICE PREMIUM In the market." People are willing to pay higher prices for NOVELTIES. It Isn't what you produce, you know, that counts so much In the profit column as what you SELL, and how much you get for It. IN this newspaper the other day, you read, in a dispatch from Washington, that figures Just releas ed by the treasury show an IN CREASE In 1933 In the number of millionaires and a decline In the number of persons with net Incomes Up to (5,000. 1933, you will remember, was a year of great political agitation for redistribution of wealth, which la another way of saying: "Take It away from the big fellow and give It to the little fellow." Evidently, In spite of all the agi tation, that didn't happen. H made? Well, here Is a story, related yester day by Bert Hall, thit gives us a hint: A- defunct Oregon building and loan association was purchased re cently for a sum ACTUALLY SMALL ER than the amount of CASH In the association's treasury. It was a perfectly legal transac tion by the courts and carried out In an open and aboveboard manner, the property going to the highest bidder. WHAT makes such a transaction possible, you ask? Here Is the answer: LACK OF CONFIDENCE, on the part of the owners, In the future of business; leading them to let go of their prop erty at any offered price from a re sponsible bidder In order to convert It Into cash and get out from under the responsibilities Involved In Its ownership, "Save something ANYTHING from the wreck, and take no chances on the future." That must have been their attitude. HERE Is the point? Disturbed business conditions, which lead to loss of confidence In the future on the part of ordinary, average people, causing them to ac cept heavy sacrifices In order to save something DEFINITE out of what seems at the moment to be a wreck, create Ideal opportunities for bold adventurers who are willing to take long risks In the hope of long prof Its. It Is these bold adventurers, in all probability, who are making the new millions reported by the treasury. IT always happens that way, Germany, embarking on a ca reer of inflation that unsettled all established business habits and rules, created a condition In which there was NO CONFIDENCE in the future on the part of the millions of or dinary people, and out of this con dition arose ft crop of NEW MIL LIONAIRES, such as Hugo Stlnnes. She redistributed wealth, all right, but Instead of putting It Into the pockets of deserving SMALL people sne put It Into the pockets of these adventurers. THE politicians, reading of these new 1933 millionaires, mutter threats of further disturbance to business, under the guise of COM PELLING redistribution of wealth. They'll do it. If we PERMIT them to, but Instead of putting the wealth Into the pockets of small people they'll wreck decent, honorable busi ness and put the wealth Into the pockets of a new crop of shrewd . bold adventurers. Just as Germany did.
