There Is considerable complimen tary editorial gush about the new found wise-cracking ability of for mer President Herbert Hoover. In many Instances, the compliments are funnier than the Hooverlan wise-cracks. The latter make neither the Democrats mad, nor Republicans smile, and It Is the concensus, of the OOP rank and file, that Mr. Hoo ver's wise-cracks remain uncracked. If there must be a wise -cracker for party of Lincoln, McKlnley and Ben Harrison, he should be spontaneous and snappy. The postmaster-general recently smart-cracked: "What the country needs Is another Hoover ka J. Edgar," Retorted a unknown, unsung, but Impudent Republican amart-aleck: "What the country needa la another Roosevelt like Teddy!' , . That Is wisecracking! rrpin m 'nrornTEn' (Siskiyou News) W. J.

Coming over from Oakland on the ferry last night, sat next to two women who held an "eitra-" Chronicle between them, emblazoned with a tremen dous banner reading "Bruno Electrocuted." Said one of them: "Lamaon freed, thi dizzy blonde acquitted, Hauptmann executed that's American justice for you I" ' "I wonder if he was guilty J' inquired the other. "Who, Hauptmann t I suppose so. But there were others in it and now they will never be caught. So was Lamsr.n guilty and this Strets woman she admitted she was guilty, but cried or fainted away every two minutes, so she walks out scot free." She atraightened out the paper, put her head on one side and regarded the portrait of Hauptmann critically. "Vou know he haa always looked like a dead man somehow ever since he was caught. Did you see that film "The Walking Dead!", reminds me of that. Sorry for the woman and the kid well tliat'a the way things go!" 9 We have an idea thousands of people in this country last night reacted in a aimilar way, when the news Bruno had actu ally walked the "last mile" came over the wires from New Jersey. Few believed the man innocent, and yet after the pas sage of years, the sense of horror and outrage had passed; and because of the many delaya, the constant injection of doubt, there was no universal and spontaneous reaction in the public mind that justice had been done. Which is a great pity and comprises just another indictment against our dilatory and sentimentalized system of jurisprudence. a . . Just, as everyone should be assumed innocent until guilt is proved, so when guilt HAS been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, punishment should be prompt. The only excuse for delay should be the discovery of new and important evidence. In the case of Hauptmann none was ever discovered and Jt will be to the everlasting shame of those responsible for delay ing the course of justice in this case, that when the final show down came, they had no evidence. Nothing but hearsay, rumot- and what amounted to nothing in the last analysis, but a maud lin sympathy for the man convicted after a fair trial, of the most brutal and heinous crime in the history of this country. ... The electrocution of Bruno Hauptmann was of course a great newspaper story. In the San Francisco papers there were many special articles from those who witnessed the grisly scene; liunyon for Hearst, Allan Kellar for the Scripps Howard News, Courtney Riley Cooper for International. But in our opinion the prize goes to the unknown United Press scribe, who without a by-line, wrote the running news story for that service. j The way in which he wove the with quotations from the 23d Psalm, as intoned by the Lutheran pastor, to the supreme climax, closing ". . . And T shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever" was one of the finest exam ples of effective and moving writing, we have read in many a long year. Whoever he is, we nominate him for a Pulitzer prize, for repprtorial excellence. a . . a a Like all other values news values are relative. But for this Hauptmann execution, both the freeing of Lamson, and the acquittal of Miss Vera Stretz would have rated banners on the front page. Ai it was they were both crowded over on the inside under standard heads, as soon ns the Bruno flash enme over the wires. The Examiner was beaten on the street by the rejuvenated Chronicle, and this morning on the front page the Hearst daily aocuses its rival of faking the news jumping the gun by over half an hour. "The Examiner never fakes news" is the closing sentence. Which only proves one can find humor in almost anything. "HEARST never fakes the news!" And there was a time when it. could truthfully be said "he never squawked" . . . but those days, too, have gone forever, a a . . . The bent comment on the Hauptmann execution came from Betty Qow, the Scotch nurse, as reported in the news dispatohen. "I am sick of the whole thing and want to forget it." Now that Hauptmann has expiated for his crime, the case is closod, and everyone should forget it turn their attention to other things. Surmises, conjectures, what might or might not be, should be wrapped up with other useless debris and con signed to the nearest ash can. We hope particularly the coun try may be spared the outpourings of nuts, cranks, and minor crooks itching for the spotlight that "THET kidnapped and killed the Lindbergh child." Barring some new evidence, coming under the heading of a modern miracle, those who followed this case closely at all, the handwriting on the extortion notes, where the money was found, the wood in the ladder, and a thousand other things too numerous to mention, can have no doubt, reasonable or un reasonable, that in the execution as it was the law as it is was carried out, even handed justice was served. With that final word, let the curtain be dropped! . . . It has been hard to keep our mind on the job with such alarming news from Everett, Washington, where Chan Egau lies critically ill with pneumonia, We first heard of it, in the sporting section of the ls Angeles Examiner, last Tuesday. Since then we have kept in touch with developments through the newspapers and calling the news rooms from time to time. The last report here is far from encouraging, and have just talked with Dr. C. M. Cooper, of this city who examined Chan, when he passed through here recently, and is one of his great admirers and devoted friends. He is plainly worried, for he fears Chan wasn't in the best condition to combat the ravages of such a terrible- disease. However no news at the present writing is good news, and the only thing to do is hope and pray for the best. If pulling for his recovery on the part of his thousands of friends all over the country can do any good, we know lie will enme tlirnuuh with flvine colors. R. W. U (Continued from rage Ona.) and her general staff is by no means the brainiest In art. rope, ahe would really be no match for Oermsny if Poland sides with Oermany, as erery military man evpects. A military defeat for Russia would probably mean the end of the iV.rtet snrlal experiment and a return of the whit Russians to power. The Reds therefore cannot venture alone, Tnev must shoot with Franca, and Prance Is in a confused condition. Her peo ple have been fed the dogma of fear, the doctrine of defense, but her forts are Impregnable. Hitler will never run his head against them. They were so strong 33 years ago that the kaiser did not cart to try them, but outflanked them through Bel l urn. Now they are twice as strong and the Belgian flank gate is closed. There ere to very good un&dver Used reasous ahjr Francs did not try details of that tragic drama, of Bruno Hauptmann, horriblo to push Clermany out of the Rhine land at once. One la that her people are not In the proper mood to fluht an Invading war. The other Is that It would have coat them upwards of a million men. Hitler's Rhtneland maneuver has been played up as a diplomatic stroke, but the military brilliance of It has been overlooked. The Rhine land was sown overnight with ma chine gun nests, barked by artillery. That Is the German way. Tt has not changed sines the world war. Any countr-step by the French would have been taken at heavv costs. But tha most amaslng thing about It ts that It was organised without a single outside government, eirept probably Britain, having any advance notice. The Insiders say that flrlUln waa secretly tipped by Oermany as to her Intentions, but even Britain did not know the troops were going 9 be sent In. Note That ahows you how much the other nations really know about what Oermany la dolnf.

Beverly Bill, Cat FINE JOB OF Tour article on Tonsillectomy a Major Operation gave me a Jolt, writes a university professor. It re minded ms that y I hsd long want ed to express to you my sincere gratitude for ad vice given me some three years ago. At that time I wrote you for Information re garding diather my extirpation. Tou suggested an exwUent phy sician Dr. . , who happened to be a neighbor. After a preliminary examination Dr began the diathermy treatments. After aome months of trestment, with the right tonsil si- moat removed and the left showing little diminution In sine, he remark ed that I hsd made a wlsa choice, sines the radical operation would have Incapacitated me for a con siderable period of time, and the beat nurgeon could not have pre vented serious hemorrhage. It took three times aa long to re move the left tonsil as It did the right. During all that tlms I talked dally before groups of considerable slm, snd without the slightest In convenience, nor did I miss a single meal. A neutral physician who ex amined my throat recently re marked :- "That Is ss fine a Job of tonsillectomy as I have ever sesnl" Many thanks. Doc! You know your onions I (W. A. 8.) P. B. You may quote freely, using Initials. This Is the method which the om niscient young men employed by the A. M. A. to do their thinking for them condemned ss dangerous and inadequate. However, the Intelligent portion of the population doesn't take the bombast of these self-constituted spokesmen of the profession so seriously ss the bla-bla boys would like. The stroclty called sur gical tonsillectomy is now Inflicted chiefly on the uninformed and the Indigent who have to go to "clinics." 'dispensaries" and free hospitals for treatment. Unfortunately most children un der alx are difficult to control and hence make unsatisfactory subjects for either diathermy treatment of tonsils or. say, the filling of teeth by the dentist. But some children three yeare old are quite successfully treated In the modern way. Aside from unmanageable children, sny patients who have enlarged or In fected tonsils may get rid of the bad tonsils SAFELY and without even an hour of Incapacity from hegln- NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O.

Comment the on Day's News By FRANK JENKINS SENATOR BORAH will be candi date In the Oregon Presidential preference primary for the Republican nomination for President that Is, he wilt seek the Instructed vote of Ore gon'a delegates to the Republican con vention. He la the only one of the leading contendere for the Republican nomi nation who haa entered the Oregon primary, and the date for filing has now passed. So It la a, foregone conclusion that Oregon's Republican delegates will be Instructed for Borah. IT la really a pity that Knox and Landon. alao, did not decide to en ter the Oregon primary, which occurs In May, well ahead or the convention that will choose a Republican candi date for President. U they had done so, It would have provided an Interesting test of Repub lican public opinion, showing how people are thinking on the Important subject of a candidate to oppose Roosevelt and his Dew Deal policies. Aa It Is, Borah will take Oregon's Republican delegates (that Is, their Instructed vote on tha opening bal lot )by default. IT Is true, of course, that Oregon Is a small atate. with only a few con vention delegates. But It is also true that on large national Issues the peo ple of one section of the country, are quite apt to think very much like the people of other sections. That fact haa been demonstrated time and again. So, if Knox and Landon had en tered the Oregon primary, along with Borah, the result would have been a fairly accurate teat of how the people ara feeling about Republican candi dates. THIS writer, .who does not pride himself on the accuracy of hla political Judgment, never having won an election bet, la of the opinion that If Borah, Knox and Landon hsd all entered the Oregon primary, BORAH would have won. It Is not Improbable that Knox snd Landon (or st leaat their political ad vlsera) held the sama opinion. At any rate, they DIDN'T enter, which leads to the conclusion that they must have regarded a contest with Borah In Oregon aa poor strategy. If all three had entered nd BOR AH HAD WON, It would have been big feather In Borah's csp and aa such would have attracted national atten tion. As It la, other candldatea can contend that tha Oregon primary mrana nothing since Borsh was the only candidate entered. e THIS writer (who Is Just an ordin ary business man and NOT a po litical prophet) ha a notion that Borah Is now the leading contender for the nomination, and that the atrategy of other candldatea la direct ed toward heading off Borah. If that la true, It explains failure of other candidates to enter In the Oregon primary. Communications It's No Joke To the Editor: What la conceived In Jest often re sult In tragedy. I very much fear that thla la going to be t caaa In tha much publlrited "Veterans of Future Were." Edltora. who elve It PINE space, evidently consider it quite t joke snd many people, without etop plng to think, apparently are getting quit kick out of It. I believe the statement of the leadera of thla movement when the7 aay that they are serious and may march on Washington -t am aura it la far mora aerloua than even they think. The thought now appeals to many a a fine aattr on the "bonus march." But what if they actually do make thla march t It wont be funny then, tragedy will aurely fol low. It la Inevitable that a mob and It win turn Into a mob will commit aome overt acta. Cltleen along tha ltne of that march will be Injured or, angered, aa even now con siderable feeling ha been engen dered by the thoughtless act. Re taliation will follow and trouble will start, growing beyond control. . It would be rm possible for a group of young men to be so constituted that there would not be on or more member of ft turbulent, trouble making natun. These would start aomethlng. Tt might be prank harmleaa and very funny In their own eyes but the victim of It might not so think it. Resentment of the act would certainly reault In trouble and no man could predict how far It would go. Should euoh march start. It would be Joined by the vicious and criminal; tt would open th war fr thee criminals to commit their crlmea under the cloak of a "satirical student escapade." It would cause endleaa trouble for police and other officials. It would cost th country large sums of money to control auch a senselese demonstration and. under th hyaterteal ebullition of unre strained aplrlta, tragedy would surely result. We might aay: "It won't go that far. It'a Just a Jok. They would not go to Washington." But they have already been to Waahlngton. Some of them have appeared and made their threate and. on at least one occasion , It haa been reeented on the floor of the house and senate. Th excuse that they r making ridicule of th bonus seems to me to be very weak. What possible good csn com of such action now that th bonu question haa been eettled? It can only engender 111 feeling and foment trouble. It la my humble opinion that thla movement la not only s, thoughtless action atarted by young minds, Improperly guided, but It Is vicious in principle and danger oua In its very conception. vIt ehould be nipped In the bud. I doubt very much If any of the member of these organisations corns from famUle who can boast mem bers eligible to th bonu or who have suffered th pangs of a Qold Star. It should be Intereatlng to know th family history of these boys. Had I had a son who took part In such a movement I would, at the ftrat opportunity, take him through some of tha Veterans' hoepltale and national cemeterlea and ahow him some of the horrors of war. I would Impresa upon him the fact that It M through these veterans that he la enjoying the freedom and security he now has. I would ahow him some of those pitiful wrecks and Impress upon him that (paraphrasing) ex cept for the Grace of Ood there Is he. It la no Joke about these "future veterana" wanting a bonus they will and. what la more they would accept right now. And dont forget thla: If another war cornea within th next twenty years there will be millions mora veterana and their aympathlzera added to those still In existence. Then th veterana will be able to absolutely control the government by their votes. It Is no Joke. A. O. ALLEN. Medford, April .
