Graduates of institution! of learn ing are pouring forth Into the cold, cruel, and allegedly busy world, urged on to higher endeavor by class mottoea in Latin, of which "Aspera, Aspera.

A STATESMAN T.KTS RKM'KED (iiiiRriie lteglsler-Uuard) I am eure glad you attributed that statement to such a source Instead of to our well-meaning and honorable public. A man that has a head on his shoul ders capablo of the remarks therein has most surely missed his calling when ho wastes time as a more statesman, but should be affiliated with the agricultu ral board. Farmers could use such a head for a churn. The "Temperance Union" seeks a fund for lecturers to tour the na tion. The Saturday night cut-ups with a pint on their hips make more dry votes In a minute than an orator can scare up in a month of steady talking. The first heat of the season yes terday brought out a number of male In their shlrt-sleevea. and a number of family skeletons in bath ing suits. More sedate folks com battcd the weather by sitting on their porches In their stocking feet. A pair of high society ladles un hitched at Reno last week, were re hltched within 24 hours. Romnnce came to them faster . than recall threats to the governor. Twenty years ago this week Mt. Lassen. In California, was throwing mud like a mad politician. The "Oct - Poorer - Quick" society have now fallen for everything but 3-cnrd monte. and are warned against having any dealing with these vul lures.

Mr. Beard called Mat Ernwn and C. N. Fault uner to appraise the mule. They appraised It at 100. which the boy said he would try to pay. Mr. Beard de cided he must get work else where.

First do the people of Medford wish to save money on their bonded debt; second do they wish the city to continue making contributions to work relief. The answer in both cases should be "yea." Because of the financial situation in this country, municipal bonds are enjoying a tremendous popularity. Demand is strong, rates of interest are exceedingly low. In the state of 'Washington recently, for example, the city of Bellingham sold $256,000 worth of water refunding bonds at par, the interest rate being 2.61. The city of Centralia sold a. similar block of refunding bonds at 98.87, the rate of interest being 2.25. In both cases the taxpayers saved a substantial sum. It is estimated that the taxpayers of Medford, can by similar action, save themselves twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars through a period of ten years. We can conceive of no valid argument against such action. A penny saved is a penny earned, and $30,000 saved is certainly $30,000 on the right side of the ledger. This proposal should be approved unanimously. UNLESS the voters take the trouble to study the second pro posal, and clearly understand what a negative vote means, it stands a good chance of being defeated. , There is considerable opposition to continued work relief, from a local standpoint, and a feeling that Uncle Sam and the state should do it ALL. Uncle Sam is doing a great deal and the state is assisting. But Medford will lose out on a large share of this relief money, unless it is in a position to contribute something in the way of supplying equipment and expenses of administrative service. The federal contributions are only for labor. If this measure is beaten it will mean, the city of Medford will be deprived of relief money that is acutely needed, and the resulting situation before the year is out might well be serious. We therefore urge our readers to study this matter very CAREFULLY before they decide An affirmative vote. does not more than it has been spending to continue the system that has been in force, supply funds to carry this necessary work on through the year, instead of aban doning it. In other words Medford can secure its share of federal funds available, by a contribution of from ten to fifteen percent of the total amount. ' In view of the fact that unemployment still exists, wouldn't, this be a matter of good business sense? The money is going to be spent somewhere in the state anyway. By contributing one dollar toward supplies and administrative control, Medford can secure nine dollars of outside money. If it refuses to do this it will secure nothing. In the opinion of this paper te vote yes on this proposal, is, under conditions which prevail, merely a matter of obvious self interest. Unprecedented, Understandable IT was an unusual action to take, and yet we can easily under- stand the sentiment which prompted it. Yesterday when Dennis Chavez of New Mexico was adminis tered tho oath of office to succeed the late Senator Brouson Cutting, five well known senators, walked out of the chamber and refused to witness the ceremony. They were Hiram John son, Norris nf Nebraska. Nye, La Follettc and Shipstead. Sen ator Horah characteristically, didn't walk out, but he did refuse to come in. II7IIY this protest against the within a few hundred votes for re-election, and who was duly the governor of New Mexico t Because Chavez, a political war sented everything that Bronsou Cutting hated and during his brief but inspiring political career, opposed with all the strength at his command. Chavez, with the support of the Democratic state machine, and the assistance of Jim Farlcv, conducted a nmpaign against Cutting that represented unprincipled practi al politics, on the lowest possible plane. Kvery trick was re sorted to, every appeal to prejudice and ignorance, utilized. to drive this fearless and idealistic Liberal from public life, merely because he had differed with the Roosevelt administra tion, as two years before he had broken with the Hoover regime. For HroiiMUi Cutting placed principle and his personal integritv, above every consideration of partisan or personal advantage, and fought the good fight as lie saw it, to the end. Then to he suddenly stricken struggle was still going on. and had wilted, have the man he fought, take the seat that had been so tragically vacated a few days much for the group of Liberal Cutting and loved him. KJn'I'lllNli could be dune. The procedure was perfectly regu lar. Hut darned if they were going to sanction such a mockery of justice, such a perverted twist of an ironical fate, by their presence, so in "solemn silence," they filed out, ami did not return until the ceremony was over. We seldom asree with the methods or sentiments of this small croup of irrecouciliablps in the upper house, and we suppose the good taste of their liicstioiied but we sympathize and believe that the rebuke to the tration was entirely merited.

Some re search s t u denta believe this de velopment of cataract In rats is a better crite rion of vitamin O efficiency than Is d e r m a 1 1 tie. which Is the cri terion In the or dinary biological assay of food a u b s t ancea for vitamin O. Several years ago Sherman sug gested mm ihe cataract an animal develops when there is a deficiency of vitamin O In the food Is In the nature of premature senility. In man we know that deficiency of vitamin O In the diet la responsible for pellagra, and a characteristic feature of pellagra is a peculiar chronic dermatitis (skin Inflamma tion) which resembles an old sun burn. The term pellagra signifies "rough skin." While fully developed pellagra la commonly recognized In section of the south where It pre vails, it ts quite probable that many mild cases in the north go unrecog nized or are called "eczema" or "psoriasis." It Is not my wish to hold out any false hopes to victims of cataract. On the other hand, no harm can be done in any case by an optimal ra tion of vitamin O. and it Is my duty to dlRaemlnate the little knowledge we have. The best sources of vitamin G are liver, kidney, yeast, heart, beet tops, eg yolk, malted milk, dried peaa, cauliflower, lettuce, turnips but bet ter turnip tops, carrots but better carrot tops, watercress, lean beer. round steak, buttermilk, fresh raw milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, skim milk, ice cream (genu ine ) , fresh sweet cream, bananas, bacon, dandelion greens, cole slaw, cabbage raw or cooked, ham, oysters, pork, white potato (new), canned salmon, spinach raw, tomato raw, turnip raw, wheat germ. We know that a deficiency or lack of vitamin A Is responsible for xero phthalmia, a peculiar Inflammation and degeneration of the eye tissues. with dryness (lack of tears), ulcera-j tlon, and night-blindness. Whether lack of vitamin A la ever a factor ! of cataract. I have no Idea. But it can do no harm to include an opti mal ration of vitamin A in the ' NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O.

She came out of retirement recently to fulfill a star role that brought a first night audience to its feet cheer I n g. And re established her aa a portrayer of elderly roles. She wrung hearts as a pa thetic and tor tured spl n s t c r. Miss George Is especially beloved by her profession becatie she Is among the few who proved her railing Is no barrier to a happy mairtaie.

Brndy la the rough and tumble type, the man's man who takes his straight, is a terror at draw and knows hnw to manage prize fighters as well as build theatres and produce plays. He Is now 72. Miss George's life has been a suc cession of contrasting Interludes living m a theatrical trunk and mak ing a cozy home for her husband In New York. And In fpnre time devot ing the hours she could to stage charities. No star's life has been a better example to her guild. Edward Dean Sullivan, the author, has spent a year collecting data for a book about the fabulous Wilson Miner. He found that the chief tenet, of Miner's credo was that fer sinks and torments more people than almost any other thine. The play wright Kanihlor once related how he conquered this deiulentng influence In so many lives. When 16. he ran away from home and a month later wired his mother to send him $500.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THIS paragraph Is a Moscow (Rus sia, not Idaho) dispatch must have caught your eye: "The Mavlm Gorky, largest land air plane In the world, crashed after a collision with a small airplane today, killing 49 persons, including eight women and six chldren, In the worst disaster ever to befall a passenger plane." -4 IP MEN and women who are still young had said to their fathers three decades ago: "The time will come when men will fly, not as a mere spectacular stunt to entertain the crowds at county fairs but In regular commercial service," these fathers would have been Inclined to lay their offspring across thler knees and drive a little common sense Into them with the flat of a hard hand. Yet we already see aircraft so large that FORTY-NINE persons can die In the crash of one of them. The world moves. THE world will CONTINUE to move. The wonders of today will be the commonplaces of tomorrow, sjid new wonders of which we do not even dream now will be seen by our chil dren. This will come to pass, that Is, If people remain WILLING TO WORK. If the Idea, so Industriously spread by vote-getting demagogues, that hereafter it will no longer be neces sary for anybody to work continues to spread, progress will stop. All worth-while progress Is based on hard work. DEPRESSIONS come and go. The worst depression in history has come, and ther eare sound reasons to believe that at last It is going. During depressions, people suffer acutely from causes not within their control. ' During these periods of suffering. demagogues flourish. It always has been that way, and probably it always will be. Demagogues were as numer ous in ancient Greece and Rome as In modern America. But, IN SPITE OF THEM, the world has gone on. TJ-GINNING in 1837, this country went through a period of severe depression, and for a long time It looked as If the good days were gone forever. Our resources then were about six billion dollars. But we RECOVERED, and with mi nor tips and downs we kept growing until the early seventies, when an other great depression hit us. AGAIN It seemed that the end of all good things had come. But mark this. By 1873. the re sources of the United States had grown to THIRTY-FIVE billion dol lars. THE depression of '73 passed, to be followed by nearly 20 years of progress. Then depression hit us again. But by the early nineties, the re sources of this country had mounted to SEVENTY billion dollars. THE depression of the nineties ran its course and vanished, and for more than 40 years, with minor up and down swings, we went ahead, fin ally slipping again Into the slough of depression In the early thirties of the following century. We are still in that slough, al though we are pretty sure we are be ginning to climb the bank on the other side. But by 1930. the resources of the United States had grown to 360 billion dollars. WE'LL get out of this depression, and if we retain the capacity to work and think we'll go on to an other period of progress that will FAR EXCEED anything we have known so far.

But If anyone seriously wants them to own it as well as operate It, they are willing. All It means to them Is an ulti mate acknowledgement and fulfill ment of the legal ruse by which they seized It. It means the last trivial constitutional delusion of private ownership Is lost. If the trial kite which now haa been casually attached to Father Coughlln's balloon floats well on the public breeze, you may expect that step to be taken.
