S. Sumpter Smith
rlEY make no bettor citizens than S. Sumpter Smith, and in
his death, Medford and southern Oregon lose a most loyal
and devoted son.
For over a quarter of a century "Sump" as he was known to
all his friendg and associates, had been a resident of this city,
and during all those years, there was never a worth while move
ment, looking to the betterment and development of his com
munity, in which he did not take a leading and effective part.
Hard working, God fearing, conscientious, depn(JaB,e.
whether it was good roads, civic betterment, Red Cross, the Com
munity Chest, Sump could always be depended upon, to give the
best that wag in him until the fight was won, or if it was lost
to take defeat in his stride, and go on with the same tireless
industry and determination to other things.
CL'MP SMITH in a sense wag of the old school, and WHAT a
" school that was, we sometimes wonder how this world of
ours, is going to get along without it, for the members of that
school are passing fast. He didn't come to Oregon in the
"covered wagon" but he was essentially of that rugged pioneer
stock, strong, self-reliant, persistent, asking help or special fa
vors from no one, hewing a place for himself and his family, by
his own efforts alone.
Not only did he gain his place in this community, but he
made himself felt, wag known and respected throughout the
state. Among the last to see him before his death were Senators
McNary and Steiwer, who called here on other matters, and
having heard of their old friend's serious illness, made it their
first order of business, to see him and wish him well.
AND their devotion to him was DESERVED.
For many years Sump had been the Republican state com
mitteeman in this district; and if the Republican party ever had
a more devoted disciple, a man who would do more for his
party and for himself ask less, we certainly have never known
or heard of him.
Sump came from Kansas, and was of staunch Civil War stock.
Republicanism was something more to him than political parti
sanship, the feeling came close to his life long devotion to his
church, a religion, and a form of patriotism, as well. It was
impossible for many of his associates to share his views, but it
was EQUALLY impossible not to respect them. For there was
such an integrity and sincerity about them, they were such an
integral part of the man.
KTATURALLY such a devotion to a party, was appreciated by
' the leaders .of that party, and Sump had many opportuni
ties to gain political preferment
preferring to be, a plain worker in the ranks. He did secure
places for others, and there will be many young men to mourn
bis passing, who owe their present place in life to what he did
for them.
e e e
TO those who like the present writer were intimately associat
ed with finmrv Hnrinc nractienllv all his life in Medford.
bis death comes as a deep personal loss. It is hard to visualize
Medford, somehow, without him. And during all that time,
while there were differences in viewpoint, as is only natural,
there was never a break in a cherished friendship, nor from him
no matter what the provocation, did there ever come a hasty or
an unkind word.
Sump was no plaster saint. He was human, very human.
But from early childhood he had had to make his own way
in this world, and to give the impression he was just another
"lily-white" would really do him
sterner stuff than that.
But he did have no vjces.
covered in a close association of twenty-four years. He never
drank, he never cussed, he never (tallied about how could he
when he was on the job practically speaking twenty-four hours
every day. "We were going to say he never smoked but will have
to modify that.
Sump did smoke a fat perfect o, once in every four years!
Yes, when the presidential election came around, dear old
Sump got out his box of cigars,
the quadrennial test of battle for the Q. 0. P. ranked with such
important epochs in human life, as births, weddings, and the
signing of peace treaties. So he celebrated, usually as Ihe count
of ballots started, by smoking a fat cigar. .
We can see him now. It was the Hughes-Wilson election, and
the New York World has just, conceded the victory of the for
mer. Sump had a plug hat on his head, was banging a wash
boiler with a club, and puffing his campaign cigar, as he march
ed accompanied by the present writer, into the nearby Holland
hotel cafe.
. That was great, and glorious victory FOR 24 HOURS! Ves
and what is this thing we enll life, but. 24 hours! and another
24 hours!
At any rata that is where we are going to leave Sump, that
is where we intend to keep him in our memory. Not a step
futther, not even a peep into the morning after.
"Bang bang" on the wash boiler, "puff puff" on the cigar.
A great and glorious victory for the G. O. P., a great and glori
ous victory for S. SCMrTF.R SMITH.
Ring down the curtain hoys, tap a ";U1" on your copy!
Terhaps no one else will understand, but we know Sump
wherever he may be, whatever the nature of the place, to which
his gallant, hard working, never quitting spirit has Rc-ne, we
know Sl'MP will!
Communications
Libraries and Radio RnxlUh
To the Editor.
Permit me to pass a verbal boquet
to the public libraries of Medford
and Ashland through the Mall-Tri-bune.
These libraries are up to the stand
ard set by all the raclfle toast states
and that standard Is fully equal to
that of any other section I have
visited.
I would call attention especially to
the courtesy and efficiency of the
attendants. It Is a real pleasure to
mwt them.
And since libraries are a gsuee of
the general culture of the communl-
for himself, but he refused,
e e '
a great injustice. He was of
At least none that could be dis

surprised to hesr so many words mls

but at this point your station back
fires painfully often.

UNDLLAND FEVEK
Scientifically It seems to be estab
lished, by tha work of Charles Car
penter In 16215, that Malta. Mediter
ranean or Glb
raltar fever,
known In thla
country u un
dulant fever, la
due to the same
germ which
causes contagious
abortion or
Bang's disease In
cattle. Carpenter
found the same
germ In the milk
of two-third of
a group of cows
wltTi contagious
abortion and In the blood of ten
human beings who had undulant
fever. He Inoculated five pregnant
heifers with then germs, and all
of them soon aborted. One was not
slaughtered until six months later,
snd thruout that time she elimi
nated large numbers of the germs
In her milk.
Now we find that contagious abor
tion is widespread among cattle.
There Is a blood test, analogous to
the Wldal test for typhoid fever,
which will show definitely whether
a cow harbors the Infection. Effic
ient health administrations require
that thm dairy herd be tested in this
way, and any cows that react must
be slaughtered or Isolated, before the
milk In offered for sale In the fresh
raw state. Less efficient health ad
ministrations restrict their efforts
to compulsory pasteurization of all
milk offered for sale. , Par-bolllng,
known as pasteurising, that Is, heat
ing the milk to 145 degrees P, for
one-half hour and then cooling (the
cooling Is important) is a cheap way
to kill any and all disease germs In
any and all grades of milk. It costs
money to produce and deliver pur1,
clean fresh raw milk. One factor
is the expense of the tuberculin test
of the cows, and the expense of the
blood test for contagious abortion
(undulant fever) and the removal or
slaughter of the animals that react.
The health authorities who rely on
pasteurizing believe the presence of
such diseased animals In the herd,
or of such disease germs In the milk.
Is Insignificant If the milk Is prop
erly bar-boiled or pasteurized. You
pays your money and takes your
choice. I'd rather have one quart
of pure fresh raw milk from a herd
In which there are no animals with
tuberculosis or contagious abortion,
than two quarts of any par-boiled
nondescript lscteal fluid that ever
came ringing down the street at 3:30

NEW YORK. Nov. 5. They were

after midnight by the call from the

Finally the nurse appeared, barkoned
and whispered: "Be as cheerful as
you can. He does not know." So they
squared their shoxilders and moved to
the bedside.

There la something wrong about
this undulant fever question. If
contagious abortion of cattle and
undulant fever of man Is one and
the sa me d lse ase , as the scientific
authorities have apparently proved,
and if contagious abortion Is ao
widely prevalent In cattle thruout
the country, aa the blood tests ap
parently show, how come undulant
fever la comparatively rare among
young children, who are the chief
consumers of milk, and compara
tively common among adults em
ployed aa butchers or farm or dairy
workers? Adults are not great milk
consumers, as a rule.
The agitation for compulsory pas
teulzatlon of all milk as a measure
of protection against undulant fever
has not received much support from
the medical profession at large. The
physicians do not feel so certain
that such a measure would' control
the disease.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
A FORMER Southerner, addressing
a Southern Oregon service club
the other day on the general subject
of the South and the cotton crop,
presented some facta that are worthy
of thoughtful consideration; not only
In the South, where cotton la king,
but throughout the entire country
because what Is happening to cotton
under government supervision Is also
happening, or DUE to happen, to
practically all basic crops coming un
der AAA.
HERE Is what Is happening to cot
ton:" Under the fixed price policy, plus
limitation of acreage, the price of
American ,cotton has been pushed
ABOVE the world price, Aa a result,
OTHER COUNTRIES are selling the
cotton this country formerly sold.
Exports of American cotton have
fallen off 43 per cent In the past year.
SOMEWHAT the same situation ex
ists, or at least is beginning to
appear, in the case of corn and hogs.
Under the AAA policy of paying
farmers NOT TO RAISE corn and
hogs, the American price has been
pushed above the world price. As a
result of this policy, other corn and
hog countries Argentina being a
notable example are selling the corn
and hogs we used to sell but aren't
selling now because we haven't got
them to sell.
Here on the Pacific coast, for about
the first time in history, Argentine
corn has appeared on our markets,
selling in competition with corn from
the Middle West.
jy IOHT NOW it tsFINE.
The Southern cotton planter
greatly prefers to sell his cotton to
the government at a guaranteed price
of 10 or 13 cents a pound to selling
it on world markets at s lower price.
The Western corn -and hog grower
would much rather be hired by the
government NOT to raise corn and
hogs than to take his own chances of
raising them and then selling at a
loss. You can't blame ANYBODY for
taking advantage of a situation that
offers so many PRESENT benefits.
But neither can we escape the con
clusion that out of this situation a
HEADACHE IS COMING.
IT IS as If we all got together hern
in Medford and raised the price of
everything we have to sell including
wages.
For & while, It would be lovely. The
higher prices would make fat proflt-s
for those In business and the higher
wages would make fat living for
those who work.
But human beings, you know, are
peculiar. They insist on buying where
they can buy the cheapest and selling
where they can sell the highest.
In the course of time, those who
formerly bought here would buy else
where, because they would be able to
buy cheaper elswhere, and those who
formerly sold elsewhere would SELL
HERE, because they would be able to
sell higher.
That would ruin ui.

States Is doing under Its AAA
No More Neuritis

Tf you want to get rid of the agon
izing pains of neuritis, ncuraUla,

Tsymol to the affected part and see
how quickly alt misery will cease.
Tysmol Is a powerfully penetrating
absorbent, soothing snd hertllng in
Its action, which goes In through the
pores and quickly renches the burn

pains In the back of the neck, about
the shoulder blade, face or heai. In
the forearm and fingers, or extending
down the thigh to the toe tips, will
soon disappear. Cramping of the mus
cles will stop and you will no long
er be bothered with soreness, swell

ness of the Joints end ligaments.
Tysmol Is not an ordinary liniment
or salve, but a scientific new emolli

NEW YORK. Nov. 8. The body of

Sherman, about 40 years old, had
been dead several hours when his
body, stripped of all clothing, was
found In a crude grave In an aban
doned barn on the Montlcello-Hur-leyvtlle
htghway.
