white horses in the rings, clowns cutting up capers ana aogs
jumping through hoops. There is a home on the range there,
with a cowboy quartet in full blast, a cowboy about to he
bumped off a'bucking cayuse, Pluto the dorg joining in the
chorus, and from both catchy music that makes one feel, like
doing a jig. Another store has Skippy and his pals doing an
orchestra stunt, with Skippy as the leader; and across the street
is a gnome village of the olden days, with farmers unloading
grain at the elevator, horses at the watering trough, the village
fire department in comic action, the town constable chasing a
drunk, and what have you. There are ten or a dozen window
shows now, and a new one starts up nearly every day. Strange
to say not one Santa Clans and Christmas scerjc in the lot. A
revival of the olden days appears to be the popular theme song,
and snappy phonograph music is common to all.
Such attractions add to the Christmas spirit and the gayety
of the occasion, but we seriously question their practical value.
Before most of the best window shows there are such crowds
now, it is hard to get near the entrances much less through them.
Speaking of displays, the finest sight in San Francisco now
is the bay bridge at night, the cables and piers outlined in
sparkling" electric lights. The tremendous size and dazzling
height of this sensational structure, is brought out in this way,
as can't be done in the day time. Second we would place the
large relief map of the bay, displayed in the rotunda of the new
City Hall, with not only the two new bridges as they will appear
when completed, but the World's Fair, which is to occupy the
space between Goat Island and Sakland, with miniature ferry
boats and ocean liners, also a part of the Pacific fleet at anchor.
The local chamber of commerce has a slogan, "San Francisco

slogans.

Tom had just fired off the first bombshell of this session, when
he announced he had told his attorneys to jump in the lake, that
he would conduct the remainder of the hearing himself. Those
who thought this meant a real break between Tom and his
lawyers were disappointed. There was no personal enmity or
lack of confidence involved. Tom merely had one idea about
what was pertinent evidence, and the laweyrs had another, and
Tom as usual had his way. Tom

nearly twenty years of his life to this case, trying in every

It shows this clearly : Tom Mooney is an opinionated, bigoted
and self centered individual, who

against authority: any authority
trouble maker. And when the truth about the Mooney case
conies out if it ever does, we venture to say it will be clear
that it was not the guilt of the man, but his inate and unadulter
ated cussedness, that put him in prison in the firs place, and
has rendered his release so difficult ever since.
We have yet to hear anyone express any affection or liking
for the man. Even his professional supporters, who regard his
imprisonment as the most shameful blot upon the record of legal
justice in the history of this country, (which we believe it is)
show no disposition to speak enthusiastically of him, in a per
sonal way. They arc devoted to him as a SYMBOL of martyr
dom and the injustice of the capitalistic system, but. as an
individual, they never suggest desiring him as a room mate.

my mind, or have
I made a slight

There are two kinds of reading,
both beneficial. One Is reading for
entertainment. For thla purpose I
prefer a good murder mystery and I
don't mean detective story. I esti
mate that for every six dozen detect
ive stories there Is one good murder
mystery. It's hard hunting, too. Some
people have strange tastes and go In
for poetry, history, biography, travel,
science or what have you. The other
kind of reading is for self-Improvement.
I'd classify history, biography,
travel science in this category. He
who runs may read for entertain
ment. He who reads for self-improvement
must think, and he should
do a good deal more thinking than
Just what the book says. He should
debate and question anything and
everything the book says, if It is not
perfectly obvious. Otherwise he Is
only going through the motions and
not getting anywhere.
That's the trouble with many of
these readers who hasten to call my
attention to such inconsistencies In
my column. They don't think or
rather they seem to think I don't
think. But my satrf, you have no
idea how much I think. Sometimes
I get to thinking eo far away that
people around me think I'm nutty.
People always do think a person
who thinks Is a bit crazy.
A young medical colleague, I mean
a real doctor, who gives me some of
the best suggestions I pass along to
you dumb laymen, now offers a pre
scription for a crackerjack liniment
for backache, lumbago, pleurisy, mus
cle strains. Joint pains, sprains, bron
chitis and divers aches and pains
where the cause Is not known. Then
he adds one more Indication which
disheartens me but now that I've
gone so far I'll have to mention it
acute chest . colds. The youngster
tells me he plays tennis five days a
week In the season, bowls all winter,
rideB horseback and so on, and he is
now 65 years old. I hope when he
grows up he'll learn that there Is no
such illness as "cold." But never
mind that now. Here's the liniment:

"It his long been my win .Mellon ."
he said, "that so long as economic
dictatorship has the power to say who

to reduce production to control out

by which we can restore purchasing

which to restore prosperity."
As for the 1936 campaign Borah
said "If we are going into a fl,;ht en
the lines where the battle swings let
us fight for free enterprise, free t.eo

monopoly, control, free from bureau

NEW YORK, Dec. 7. My wtte
telling me I was foolish to ven
ture out on a slippery day with
out rubbers!
You'd think I
was 80 and ripe
for the ether
cone. It seems
only yesterday
Mary Henklng
and I won the
g r a c e ful wait
prize at Miss
Jenny Myers'
dancing class.
Aleahlre HaU a
to 5 p.m.
On top of that
I learned to walk
a slack wire, hike a .bike on one
wheel and twirl, to say nothing of
swinging off a moving bus, often
bowing to a pretty girl In the quick
skippy run to the curb. I should
put on rubbers for a layer of sleet.
Giving way to things like that
makes cowards. Begin wearing rub
bers at the first slight freeze, and
before you know It you'U be stui
flng keyholes for fear of a draft.
The proper caper la to scotch such
teeny-weeny fears before they mass
into a full blown phobia.
On a clear, crisp day such aa this,
one should go forth with a convic
tion everything Is going to be per
fectly dandy, yes sir. Confidence is
everything. Place the feet on the
sidewalk firmly, head thrown back.
Those further advanced in assurance
may snap their suspenders.
Sometimes, Indeed, these so-called
treacherous days bring out the don't
care lshness In me. See that cop over
there? For two cents I'd walk up
and ask him what he's getting at.
No, I'll hum a tune. Something
lively and chipper. Like that "Top
Hat" song, Ta, ta, I'm In Heaven,
dum de dee, when we're out there
dancing cheek to Check.
But don't hum just because I do.
The idea is to keep cheerful. If you
prefer you can chirp. Aunt Ida often
thought a chlrper got more out ol
his chirps than a hummer hla bums.
But that's Just a body's viewpoint.
Most folk walking in sleety weather
act as though they were treading
egg shells. That's no way. Look I
Slap the pups down like you were
going to town. Left, right, left, right.
I'm not even annoyed going over
gratings. And watch me scoot around
this corner. Like a swan In grace
ful parabola.
Down goes a duffer across the
street. And does he suggest a pret

mincing along like a hen on a hot
griddle. A little courage and he
wouldn't be soaking himself in ar
nica for the next week. I've a notion
to go over there and give him a
sharp talking to. But it's none of
my business. I can't -spend my life
running around telling pedestrians
how to handle themselves In a sleet.
Anyway what happened when I spoke
to that truck driver on 42d street
for beating his horse? Well, he
chased me clear through the Salmon
Tower building, that's what hap
pened. There stands another bunch of
Webster's Timid Souls afraid to
walk over a slick place near the
Hippodrome. Ever see such fraldy
cats! If someone yelled "Bool' they'd
be scampering up lsmp posts. Watch
me push "em aside and show what
a brave soul does In a crisis. I'm

30 days prior to November 15th, the
water commision was warning the
voters that it they failed to approve
the eighty thousand dollar bond is
sue for the building of a new ten
million gallon reservoir, the Insurance
rates would In all probability be
raised in Medford.
Since the bond Issue failed to car
ry and the water commission is re
lieved from assuming this eighty
thousand dollar obligation, the wa
ter users should be given credit for
thus relieving the water commission
from assuming this large sum. A
good way for the commission to show
their appreciation would be in a sub
stantial reduction in our water rates.
All water users would be glad to hear
from the commission along this line.
The time for such a reduction Is past
due.
