The Weyerhaeuser kidnaping has
brought forth a unique cure and
preventative for thin form of crim
inal cuasednetw, to-wlt: Don't pay
the ransom demands of a band or
human hyenas, when a loved one
Is In their grasp. This would take
the profits out of kidnaping, It Is
argued. The plan has two vital
discrepancies, (a) It la contrary to
the noblest trait of human nature,
and, (b the family of the victim
would have to be as hard-hearted
as the kidnapers, to deny payment,
If able to do so. The plan la more
cruel and drastic, than any punish
ment yet proposed for kidnapers, it
and when caught.

The Street
A MODEST subscriber, averse to publicity, is nevertheless hot
under the collar. He regards the recent street carnival
which spent a week near the Bear Creek bridge, as the
"WORST" ever to invade the peace loving and law abiding
preoinctg of southern Oregon, and asks why the city fathers
allow such "goings on".
"We quote:
MI understand Mils carnival paid four or five hundred dollar
into the city treasury, But how much money did they taka
out, money that Is needed here, and largely money from those
who can least afford to wast it. And how did they get that
money? Haven't we laws against gambling and crooked gambling
at that? And how about honkey-tonk peep ahowa and the
can-can "come on." The entire business was a ihams and a
disgrace, and I believe I voice the sentiment of all decent people
In Medford when I say that the city of Medford should plaice
the license fee so high that only the decent and respectable
street carnival, -If there ARE any, could afford to show here,
or rule them out entirety. They have no place In a law abiding
and civ It red community."
Strong words! Perhaps the indignant subscriber lost his pet
dog, or paid ten dollars for a two-bit kewpie doll !
However from what we can learn wa were cured of the
street carnival habit many years ago, there are a great many
people of Medford who feel the same way about it.
We do know this. The street carnival business has degener
ated into little more than an "easy money" racket, and rather
an unsavory and questionable racket, at best. If they were for
bidden to show in Medford, we don't believe the city would
lose anything WORTH WHILE, either in amusement, excite
ment, or license fees.
It may be just the encroachments of old age, but in our
opinion the'itincrant honkey tonk show, is old stuff, and a play
that is played out.
Certainly if the recent exhibition was HALF as bad, as our
correspondent makes out, the city administration would be
entirely justified in passing a resolution that in the future, it,
or any road shows like it, would be denied a license to operate.
Sure Cure for Kidnaping
"lE were much interested in the communication from Fred
Kelly in yesterday's issue, regarding kidnaping, and how
the crime has practically been wiped out in England and Europe.
Mr. Kelly a former federal operative himself believes if
the example abroad, were followed, and Hie ransom "payor
made EQUALLY guilty with the payee," kidnaping would
quickly vanish from the. American scene, as it has from the rest
of the world.
We don't doubt it.
Jf such a law were passed AXD enforced, it might cost the
lives of a FEW innocent and defenseless ehildren,-it might
cause anguish and heartbreak for a FEW parents, but it would
unquestionably STOP kidnaping.
Kidnaping only persists because it is nrnfitnhlc THn
, '
profit from it, or making that
nK, would enn it.
'"PIIEN why not do itt Shouldn't the greatest good for the
greatest number be the ruling motive? Shouldn't right
thinking citizens be willing to sacrifice themselves, or even a
child, for the sake of ALL the parents and ALT. tho chiMvon r

A very different breed of parents is being produced in "the
land of the free and the home of the brave."
For it is our firm conviction that if such a law WERE passed
in the United States today, it would neither be obeyed NOR
enforced. It would be one of those laws that are fine for the
"other fellow", hut not for the parties chiefly concerned, the
distracted parents of the child that had been taken.
Do they hreed parents of sterner stuff across the water?
Have we as a people become, not only hopelessly sentimental,
but hopelessly soft t
Or is the answer to be found in the fact, that we are at heart
a more lawless and less disciplined people, than those of the
older civilizations.

All we do know is, that in this country us it is today, it's a
thousand to one bet, such a law would not work. It would be
.just another page on the statute books, fine to read, but ini
possible to carry out.
Not one American parent in a million would say farewell
forever to his child, if he had money that could bring it back.
Not one jury in a million would conivct such a parent, and hoi. I
his crime as heinous and his punishment as necessary as the
crime of the kidnaper himself.
No, it's just another one of those things that with human
nature what it is, can't be done. And we say this even admit
ting that sudi a law might, we said MIGHT. IF properly and
fearlessly enforced do away with kidnaping without ACTl'Al..
LY involving the sacrifice of a SINGLE life.
IT probably comes down in the
i """i " imi i in mis country; the place we have
reached in our moral development, and our sense of social
responsibility.
Many may find in the impossibility of such a law being car
ried out a source of pride and self congratulation. But .some
how we can't feel that wny about it.

o)i the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
GREAT floods In Eastern' Colorado
take a score of lives and do dam
age 'running Into the hundreda of
thousands of dollors.
In Eastern Colorado, only a little
while back, dust storms were making
the news, forecasting, apparently, a
continuation of the severe drought.
When Mother Nature decides to
change her mind, she doesn't waate
much time about It.
IN NORTHWEST INDIA, Old Mother
Nature decides that an earthquake
is Just the thing her whim demands,
and near Quetta slone more than 20,
000 persons are reported to have per
ished. ,
When Nature goes on a rampage In
regions aa thickly populated aa India,
the casualty lists are shocking.
AN EARTHQUAKE- In Tndla, In
which ten of thousands of lives
are lost draws an Interested glance
from the headline readers, but not
much more. An earthquake in Cali
fornia In which a dozen Uvea were
lost would be tremendous new here
in Southern Oregon,
India Is far distant and California
Is CLOSE. News depends for Its value
upon Its nearness to us.
A HEADLINE informs :
"Five Thousand Expected to Re
sume Jobs. Many Northwest Lumber
Milla Will Start Work Monday."
That is close news and good news.
It is always good news when men go
to work. ,
WHY is it goodnews when men go
work?
The answer is absurdly simple: Be
cause wealth Is created by WORK,
and the creation of wealth brings
prosperity.
We all want prosperity.
HERE is an interesting thought:
When Columbus discovered
America, that part of the American
continent which Is now the United
States contained exactly the same
soil, climate and mineral resources it
NOW contains.
Yet this area, which now is the
richest part of the world, with the
highest standard of human living ever
known, then supported In more or
less abject poverty only a few hun
dred thousand wandering Indians.
WHAT has brought about this
change?
Again the answer Is absurdly sim
ple. Then men and women who set
tled this country, driving out and
taking the place of the Indians,
WORKED HARD.
ee
IT IS labor, applied natural re
sources, that creates wealth. The
Indians did little labor, and so they
created little wealth.
If the time ever comes when we do
little labor, either of brain or of hand.
we too will create little wealth and
our great country will slip back Into
wilderness.
Progress is based on hard work,
and if there la no hard work there
Is no progress.

Spectators Warned
Spectators were warned to remain
at a safe distance, but after the
small test blast yesterday many dis
regarded the1 warning and were
forced to run for cover amid a
shower of brick and rocka. Camera
men snapped pictures and ran.
Sidewalk and the street pavement
on both sides of the old capitol

The blast was successful tn razing

F.ffect Not Anticipated
The shots were placed by a pow

apparently had not been anticipated.
SERA crews started to work im

the only major one contemplated.

shot rumbled the earth like a quake

of what the president should do,
but hi official standing conveyed
the erroneous impression that such
a measure was officially under con
sideration. His superiors In NRA
thought that he overstepped htmselt
and invited him to step out.
The sub-surface moves for cur
rency stabilization are moving for
ward slightly again. . A recognized
authority of the new deal recently
asserted that contact should be
established among the principal
countries on an Informal basis
shortly with a view to reaching
an international currency stabiliza
tion agreement before a general
conference Is attempted. His on-the-record
assertion has now been
transmitted unofficially to the cap
itals of Europe. That was the pur
pose of it.
The official view here is that
the first official approach should
come from abroad, and our offic
ials are trying to inspire such an
approach.
They cannot expect much- success
until the outcome of France's exist
ing gold predicament is determined.
The White House has asked the
labor department to compile all re
port, on wage-cutting and hour
changes. Tills data will be used
publicly to Justify the administra
tion stand. Unless employers want
to help the new deal get the NRA
back on its leet. thty had better
delay wage-cutting and hour ex
tension. The Republicans have dug up and
are preparing to use a speech Mr.
Roosevelt made when he was gov
ernor of New York, deploring the
growth of federal power.
The supreme court is not the
only government agency which the
new dealers would like to clean out
by dropping some of its older mem
bers. Four of the eight member
of the federal reserve board are ap
proaching the age of seventy.
A prominent Democratic editor
wrote to an official here asking,
tareastlcally, where was all this
"national planning'" he had been
hearing about, in view of the con
fusing absence of a reformation
plan after the court decision. He
alo commented on the slowness in
getting the works program under
way.
Equally influential as Mr.
Rtchberg in dcvelopmg the legal
consequences of the court decision
(or more so) was Prof. Fein Frank
furter of Harvard, the old mastei
of "the hot dog boys." Although
his name did not appear promin
ently, he has been a !requent visi
tor at the White House since the
court decision.

Ye Poet's Corner
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW
(Mrs. E. C. Hamilton.)
The pathway climbed patten'? a rug
ged mountain side.
To enjoy a day of Its fragrant beauty
beenme mv Joyful pride.
There was a sudden whirr o:- fright
ened quail.
And smiling expectantly I pause up
on the trail.
A thrilling sight it Is, to see a bfd
upon the wing.
And unafraid alight on briar or weed.
And from sheer pent-up Joy begin to
sing.
Not that the quail sang, or even
perched upon a weed.
But oft nis fellows have to ling, pe -
ch&ncc to feed
I looked away, beyond the tops of
lofty trees.
And theie cold uneffaced bv storm
or freeze,
I caught a vision of snowclad peaks.
Whilst here the summer winds hie
soft upon my cheeks.
And there forests dark and stately
crowned by the highland.
And far below me the me.idowa Ue
sweet o'er the lowland.
Earlier the orchards there were a
banks of drifted snow.
But now their tender fruit In sum
mer's sun will grow.
Far away, like a silver ribbon, a river
laughed It way to sea;
Thru gorte and matted thlckete la
si -.I; most Joyfully.
The valley roads seem to be lingering
regretfully In the un
As If this were Paradise and not Jurt
Oregon.
Where summer winds blow soft and
skies are azure blue:
Where woman's faith is strong and
the hearts of men are true.
