Complaint has been registered that, the attorney-egeneral of New Jersey, engaged In prosecuting Bruno Haupt. msnn. charged with the murder of the Lindbergh babe, was a trifle rough" with the defendant In his closing argument to the Jury. The kidnapper and murderer was the br me. The prosecutor, referring to the cold net tire of the defendant, shouted : "The electric chair will thaw him out " nils may not have been polite, but the state official has been up against giggling In the court room, so had to he harsh to top that. Furthermore, there haa been some feminine bawling at the eight of the defendant's aby boy Who still lives. The chief defense counsel also allowed his laryni to get the best of him. and did some Idiotic raving. However, hit emotions never became, eo rahid he likened his client to the "Messiah." or his lying wttnesws to Paul Revere, and other Revolutionary War heroes. Ralph Moore, in tlu rear seat, had Jive stltrhea taken In his forehead, as a result of a laceration. (Heppner News) Not as painful ss It starts out to sound. The Hauptmann Verdict FOR many years the Mail Tribune has been opposed to capital punishment.' The startling increase in violent crime the past few years, weakened our opposition and the murder of the Lindbergh baby about ended it. We still feel that, as a general theory for the state to demand a life for a life, repay illegal, with LEGAL murder is a ques tionable deterrent to crime. We know, that public executions are a relio of barbarism, degrading and brutalizing to the civi lization that sanctions them. But, we willingly admit that in CERTAIN' crime, there seems no other answer. WHAT can society do, for example, with a man who will steal a baby, kill it, intentionally or accidentally; and then, almost before the little body is cold, deliberately scheme to extort money from the heart-broken parents, on the solemn promise that if the money is paid, the baby will be returned SAFE AND WELL! Where are there words to adequately describe or classify such a fiend in human formf What is there to do on any basis of justice or future security but as soon as the matter of guilt is established, EXTERMINATE such vermin t ... A S we see it, NOTHING. It is a ghastly indictment of the human race, that in this day and age, anything so loathe some, so monstrous, so dead to all considerations of human decency and human feeling, could be produced. BUT as long as they ARE produced, and we know they are produced, then we grant, the ancient doctrine of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," is the only possible recourse. .... 117E are glad that with the Hauptmann verdict of guilty, with V no recommendation for mercy, Justice Trenchard wasted no time in sentencing the defendant and fixing the date of his execution, only a few weeks hence. The sooner the final curtain can be rung down, on the entire ghastly mess, the better for all concerned. In no murder trial in our recollection has the state had n stronger case, or the defense a weaker one. ' While some of the evidence was circumstantial, the fact thdt Hauptmann received and spent the ransom money, wrote the notes that secured the money, and even from his friends, could secure no corroboration of his alibi, were NOT circumstantial. From first to last the efforts of the defense were merely efforts to-prejudice, confuse, snd raise doubts in the minds of the jury, on the chance there might be one member weak minded enough to fall for such transparent chicanery. fortunately for the cause of justice, and the reputation of the jury system, there was none. The verdict was unanimous. And while it required eleven hours to reach a decision, consider ing the importance of the case and the amount of detail involved, such a period for deliberation was not surprising. .... I JN'FORTUNATELT, as long as money is available and from some unknown source ample funds for Hauptmann's dc fonse are apparently available, the fight will go on to delay the wheels of justice, and if possible save the defendant from the fate he deserves. There will be demands for a new trinl, appeals to this court r.n4 .Un. .11 iL. 1 i 1 , ' . omu, umi, on mo nenrieipss, inexcuRanie rigmarole, that has made criminal jurisprudence in this country, such a shame and disgrace. With public opinion what it is, however, and with the guilt, of the defendant so clearly established, a way may he found to reduce this obstruction of justice, to a minimum. We certainly hope so. But if it doesn't, perhaps these same circumstances, will bring the defects of criminal procedure so forcibly to the minds of the American people, that this "greatest crime of the cen tury", may at last bring drastic reforms, so sorely needed, just as the verdict will certainly serve notice on the underworld, tnai tne crime or haoy kidnaping is something the people of this country will not tolerate, and the wages of such sin is DEATH!

Denson Explains Hotel Men's Plea for Legalizing Cocktail Hour Too many Inquiries like the fol lowing still come to this bureau: Kindly give me the name of a good doctor who treats so-and-so. I spent 60 with Dr. (a charlatan) and the longer he treated me the worse I got. I . got his name from an ad. Previous to that I had spent ISO with an other doctor who sent me a circular aaylng that he cured all such casea as mine . , Honest, reputable, competent doc tors get new patients through the gocd word their old patients say for them to their friends. Quacks have to catch new suckers by whatever methods they can de vise to lure the gullible to their of fices. Of course their old victims do not recommend them to friends. Radio In this country Is largely devoted to the promotion of quack ery and nostrums. A sufficient pro portion of the population la credu lous and gullible enough to believe nythlng that may be said with the right air of authority, and the broad casting Interests know how to put that air In their nostrum and quack ery business. There Is another side of. this evil In Yankeeland. Once a sucker has been thoroughly buncoed by a fake doctor or "specialist" It 1b human nature for the poor goof to feel ashamed of the affair and to say nothing more about It that Is, when he realizes at last that there la no recourse, no way to make the crook pay back the money of which he has defrauded the moron. Better Business Bureaus sometimes succeed In forcing a fair adjustment when a business firm has taken ad vantage of a customer. Attorneys sometimes obtain Judgments for clients who have been the victims of mal-practlce. But when you deal with these cheap radio or newspaper or magazine charlatans who promise all sorts of cures or benefits and tell you how good they are, at so much an Inch or a minute, you are out of luck when It comes to getting Jus tice. In Yankeeland this medical racket Is all fixed and so are the authorities who purport to adminis ter the Iaw. It la big business, and big business knows all the ropes and W HO SAYS A DO CTOR IS GOOD? . large amount of easy handles money. I have no sympathy at all for peo ple who write me such plaintive notes as that. Serves them right for dealing with the crooks. At the end of the letter quoted the correspond ent says he would prefer that I rec ommend some clinic, Cllnlo my eye. Now that ha has oquandered hla money he hopes to sneak into a public institution and get treatment at public expense or at the expense of some easy-going charity, Clinics, In my opinion, are only a step above open quackery. A clinic la likely to be a huddle of doctors who can't get anywhere on their own, and so they pool their Interests and take advantage of the lax appltca tlon of the code of ethics to adver tise or to get what publicity they can wangle as a clinic, Institute, as sociation, hospital or whatever catchy name they give their scheme.

To the Editor: Z have read the editorial In your paper In regard to the amendment to the Knox bill, '.-falch the Oregon Hotel association la trying to ao compltsh. I feel sure that you are not thor. oughly familiar with the various problems that the hotels are eon. fronted with. Aa you know, the hotel Industry la one of the largest Indus. tries of the United States. Over 78 per cent of the hotels in the state of California are bankrupt. Since the state of California haa allowed the reatauranta and hotel dining rooms to serve mixed drinks they are get ting back on their feet. Z believe that z can make a truth ful statement when Z say to you that I do not believe there is a restaurant or a dining room. In a hotel, In town that la making a profit on the mer. chandlss they are serving. When say restaurants, z do not mean ham burger atanda. There are four or five nice restaurants In town, and they are entitled to aerve mixed drinks Just the same aa z am. Zt la Impossible for the hotels to prevent guests from bringing liquor in ny tne bottles. Quite often they will stay In their rooms and drink until the dinner hour la over. Then they drive out to some Beer Joint or some eating place on the out-aklrts of the town to places that are not even in the city llmlte. Yes, it la true that we have the right to serve beer and wine, up to 14 per cent. But thla la not a wine state, and Medford la not a wine city. The people want hard liquors, and they want same served with their meals. It la easy to form a club so that mixed drinks may be aold. But good many of our business men are not members of clubs. They still en Joy a drink with their meals. in the past week z made un a pe tition to amend the Knox bill, and It was signed by some of the leading business men of Medford. Z really did not ask any one of them to algn It Z Just showed them the petition, which stated that It waa in favor of amending the Knox bill, which would privilege the restaurants and hotel dining rooms the privilege of serving nquor mj tneir patrons. Following are some of our argu- menta why the Knox liquor bill ahould be amended: ' We claim that If It Is legal to sell liquor by the bottle, It should be by the drink. This amendment will promote tem perance and there will be less liq uor consumed because most people wtul only one drink but In order to get this one drink they are forced to buy a bottle. We cannot control our business because so many of the guests will send to ,the liquor store, purchase one or several bottlea of liquor, and before that la consumed there la Plenty of noise made and breakage and damage done to the linens and furniture. Guests In adjoining rooms are usually disturbed by this noise and confusion. The hotel la expected to furnish Ice and glaasea as a mat ter of free service. We understand that In tha major ity of states liquor stay be purchased by the glass and gueau expect It In Oregon. If they cannot get It In the hotels and restauranta they will go to the speakeasies where they can buy It by the drink and get food aa well The aale of liquor ahould be out In the open Instead of In the apeak easles from which the state gets no revenue. Thla amendment. If passed, will drive out most of the speakeasies and will make legal what la dona Illegally now. The present method. If continued will start an agitation for the state to again be made bone-dry because of the promiscuous drinking In ho tel rooms and the rapidly Increaatng number of speakeaales. Mayor Carson and Chief of Police NUee testified before the Joint com mittee on alcohol control, that If the hotels and restaurants were gtv en permission to sell liquor by the glass It would go a long way towards eliminating most of the speakeasies, and there would would be less law. lessnesa. The hotels and restaurants, by the nature of their training are the prop. er persons to handle liquor and would certainly protect their Investments by handling It properly. The hotel business Is the seventh Industry In the country with millions Invested snd are paying a large portion of the taxes. They are entitled to have the protection from the Inroads made into their buslneaa by the speakeas ies. The lawlessness now going on is very- difficult to control because it Is all carried on under cover. The liquor commission would make Ita own regulations, zt would name how many would be given permission to sell liquor in a given territory would say what the license should be how large the bond and the right to revoke the licenses and to assess the fines should the law be violated. Before prohibition went Into effect, the hotel dining rooms and restau- rants served mixed drinks, and these places were always conducted prop- erly you did not see any disorderly conduct. Even this hotel had a bar, besldea serving drinks In the dining room, zt was patronized and sup ported ny tne Medford people. If the people have the right to go to the liquor storea and buy liquor by the bottle and take It to their homes to serve to their guests In tneir dining rooms and at cocktail parties, we should not be deprived of the privilege of serving It to these same people In our dining room. I want to thank the business men of Medford, who signed the petition that z submitted to them, asking for mo amendment to the Knox bill Any assistance that la given to the restaurants and hotel dining rooms win oe greatly appreciated.

GIRL to WO MAN VERY mother knows those anxious years when her daugh ter is becoming a woman. The wise er makes Wants It Tried Out To the Editor: The following 1 not an argument for or against the Townsend plan. It Is merely a suggestion that should satisfy both sides. No amount or argument and quoting of statistics and "economic principles" will settle this big question. Nothing short of actual demonstration. I believe, will do It. Z believe that the majority of the people backing the Townsend plan will be convinced If, by actual demonstration. It la ahown that the plan will work. On the other hand, If It la shown that It, or a modiflca- ' tlon, will work satisfactorily, then It should be done. So Z suggest that congress should pass a law levying the 3 per cent transaction tax. This tax to remain for a period of six months or a year. At the end of that time the govern ment and the people will know ex actly how much money Is raised and the effect of th tax on national con ditions. This act ahould embody th contingencies that If sufficient fund were raised to put Into effect th Townsend plan, or t modification, It ahould be done, but If It did not rats sufficient then It ahould be dis carded. All funds so raised should be then used for relief or as a foun dation for other old age pensions. such a trial will positively, effect ively and finally settle the question. Argument Is useless because, when all la said and done, neither side will be convinced. And finally, to the younger neoble. I want to say that It Is no disgrace to be old. Rather, Is It a thing to be proud of, an accomplishment. Youth Is forced upon every one of us: It Is a gift we csnnot avoid. But age la a thing which Is attained, and largely by our own efforts. Anyone can die at will, but not all can Uv to old age. Zf you succeed In your battle for life you will be old; If you fall you will never know old age. It Is through no effort of yours that you have youth, but your efforta will largely determine whether you ever have age. Youth was given you: you did not earn It. and you were on a, "Juvenile pension" for many yeara. Age you must earn, an "old age pen slon," maybe. A. o. ALLEN. at Central Point. Feb. 13.
