When Federal
PRACTICALLY everyone we
government is going to get
as conditions permit.
A critical emergency existed. Local relief failed to meet it.
The government had to and did.
Now the crisis has passed at least its acute stage. '
The time has come for Uncle Sam to ease out, and for the
communities, to ease in. 1
It is also time for private industry to take up its share of tho
load by increasing its employment of labor, just as extensively
as improved business conditions
All of which is easy to say,
HABIT is a strong force. Many have formed the habit of
expecting and getting federal relief. This is not only true
of individuals, but of communities.
As the government does less, the communities and individ
uals must do more so much more than they have been in the
habit of doing in recent years
promises to be painful.
But it's one of those things
or the proud boast that no one in this country shall actually
suffer, from want of food and shelter, will have to be abandoned.
Certainly the strongest and
hasn't come to such a sorry pass
no easy job to prevent it.
"pHEREFORE it is not too early for the people of this com-
munity and every other in the country to prepare for a
shock when the inevitable period of readjustment comes.
There have been many criticisms of federal relief, there has
been wide spread consternation over the way the government
has spent billions to provide employment, not even -the recipi
ents have apparently liked it.
Well the time has come for the people at home to show the
continuation of such relief is no longer necessary. This can only
be done by the willingness of the people in this country, in this
community and every other, who
until it hurts.
We can't have our cake and
eral relief, without assuming
greater local relief.
Under the now set up, an
attitude toward the needs of a

A Colored
WE dou't LIKE the idea of another colored champion of the
nrize firlit wnrlrl. It nromisps. to result in a lot of "white
hope" nonsense, threatened supremacy-of-the-black-race talk,
and eventually perhaps serious racial complications, at least in
our larger cities.
Jack Dempscy had the right idea. He drew the color line.
Being a real honcst-to-jroodncss champion Dempsey COULD.
No one dared accuse the Mimassa Mauler of being afraid of any
two-legged animal, white or black. He didn't wish the colored
clement to enter into it, that's all. The Jack Johnson experience
had been enough.
But this bundle of black dynamite, Joe Louis, has gone too
far for any thing of that sort now. For the present title holder,
whoso name we believe is Braddock, to draw the color line would
be a bit too ridiculous, even for the fair skinned prize fight
impresarios, who are not distinguished cither by their sense or
sense of humor. Besides there is too much money in it, for
THEM.
So barring accidents this ex-Alabama colored boy is goinji
on, and will be duly crowned heavyweight champion of the
world, ere long.
WELL tliero is this much to be said in his favor. Forgetting
tho color of his skin, ho appears to stack up in every way,
as far above the average in his somewhat questionable profes
sion. A mere "kid" in years, he has shown an extraordinary
poise, and dignity in all ho lias said and done.
Only those who understand the commercialized fight game,
as it is now conducted, and its close connection with tho under
world, appreciate the temptations which havo surrounded him
and still surround him.
If young Joe can keep his head, retain his modesty and sim
plicity, take on all comers, fight clean and square and leave
the bright lights and tho primrose path alone. we see no reason
why he shouldn't be accepted by the sporting world, as a real
champion, and in every way a credit to the game.
From this snmc standpoint he certainly is vastly superior,
and in every way a better citizen, than the Gay Lothario and
night club "show oft", ho defeated.
AND finally isn't it just a trifle absurd to be too meticulous
about the complexion of the man who happens to be a
little better in the gentle art of legalized mayhem and man
slaughter, than any of his contemporaries 1
The present, writer happens to be an ardent boxing fan. But
when it comes to the modern prize fighting racket, isn't it well
to retain a certain sense of proportion.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
T A. GORDON, now one of southern
Oregon's leading bankers, was
once in the stage business back? In
the days when telephone lines were
few and far between out in the wide
open spaces.
In those days, automobiles were not
as reliable as they are now and break
downs "were frequent. Mechanics were
about as scarce then as telephone
lines.
So when a breakdown came, there
was grief.
V A. got around this situation in an
Ingenious way.
When his stages started out, they
carried a little box containing Carrier
Pigeons, and when something went
wrong with the car that couldn't be
fixed by the driver a pigeon was dis
patched with an S.O.S. to the home
garage.
When the bird arrived, carrying its
message, a trouble car carrying a me
chanic and spare parts was dispatched
to the scene.
That's what In those days we would
call head work,
YT'S hard to realize that only a few
years ao automobiles were as
scarce arid Just as undependable as
aljplar.es are today. It's even harder
to realize that In all probability the
time will come when airplanes will be
as common, as dependable and per
haps as numerous as automobiles are
today.
fJACK In those days when Mr. Gor
don was running stages here in
the southern Oregon country, a very
wealthy and very religious San Fran
cisco woman brought several of her
Sunday school classes up here to see
Crater Lake.
In these days, It Isn't much of a
trick to find automobiles enough to
take a crowd of almost any size up
to the lake, but then It was different.
Cars were few, and the roads were
bad. Setting out for Crater Lake
then was about like starting for Mex
ico City now.
Those who started for the lake then
were never sure when they would get
back, nor were they at all sure how
much it would cost before they finally
did get back.
So finding the necessary number of
cars wasn't easy.
QUT J. A. managed It, and when
the train pulled In the cars were
waiting. The visitors piled In, the
caravan got under way and the driv
ers did their stuff to such good effect
that the rlin waa reached, the visitors
given a thrilling day and the whole
crowd was brought back to town in
good time.
No word was said to the drivers as
to compensation, and It waa under
stood that they were giving their time
and their machines for the good of
the community. But remember that
the sponsor of the trip was a VERY
wealthy woman Indeed.
So when she asked for a list of the
names andaddrcsses of all who had
contributed their cars and their skill
as drivers, It may be Imagined that
there was quite a little pleased an
ticipation in the crowd.
,L, the anticipations were Justl-
fled and the virtuous efforts of
the drivers were rewarded.
In due course of tlmo. each driver
who had contributed his time and his
car to this Journey to Crater Lake
received a full year's subscription,
paid in advance, to one of the leading
national Sunday school weeklies!

Milwaukee has a socialist mayor, !
but the street car lines and the 1
public utilities are privately owned.
This Is more than can be said of
many a Democratic and Republican

that the mayor does not control the

is that socialists become practical,
like everyone else, when they get
elected.)

A Kansas editor went Into a farm
town in north Wisconsin recently on
a Saturday night. There were ao
many new autos at the curb that
he thought It was a convention ot
dealers. He found it was only the

ping. He talked to a few of them,
found these were the first new cars
they had had In years. And most ot
the, farmers were under the impres
sion that President Roosevelt per
sonally was responsible.
Believe It or not, beer did not
