MEDFORD
Hurry Home, Rosey!
aEDF0RD won't seem natural without Rosey stamping
- around the Main Stem, as well as the highways and by
ways of this man's town. Rosey came here before most of us
knew there was such a place as Medford, and has been here
practically ever since, until he has become a Ideal institution,
the removal of which to a San Francisco hospital, will leave a
yawning gap which can't be filled.
So we .Tge Rosey to hurry back, as soon as that broken hip,
renders transportation on his beloved and now solicitous, S. P.
possible., We will somehow muddle along without him with
out his cheery greeting, his never failing kindness and courtesy,
his loyalty to this community and the organization he serves,
but we don't want that period extended, any further than his
own bodily comfort and peace of mind, demand.
. .
FOR Medford without Rosey isn't Medford, that's the long
and the short of it. In public service he has been the most
efficient official the S. P. or any other railroad ever had.
And in southern Oregon he has been more than that, he has
been a sort of ambassador of good cheer and good will, a
liason officer between the many different cliques and factions
on the job, for young and old, all the time.
FRIENDS! Rosey has more friends real ones in this com
munity, than most of us have acquaintances, and what is
there that he wouldn't do for them if it should lay within
his ower! If he had been in charge of the public relations
of the Southern Pacific, that railroad would be the most popu
lar railroad in the United States, today. Most of them, com
paratively speaking, little things, but little things count in
this life of ours, lis all the older boys and girls know.
So,
In deploring the unfortunate slip that broke Rosey 's hip,
and in wishing him a comfortable convalescence, a quick re
covery, and a prompt return, the Mail Tribune merely expresses
the sentiments of this ENTIRE COMMUNITY and all southern
Ore lion.
Hurry home Rosey. The boys and girls are lost without you !
A Tragic Shame
THE Mail Tribune has been one of the few consistent and
nprsisfpnt sunnortors of the Leaeue of Nations. AVe sup
ported, the idea when first broached by President Wilson, and
we have from time to time, supported it ever since.
.We still do, in PRINCIPLE.
But as a loynl advocate of the idea we are now willing to
admit, that those who at the outset said the proposition wouldn't
work and would merely entangle this country in European
intrigues and complications if it became a member, were
right, and we, who believed otherwise, were wrong.
The condition in Europe today demonstrates clearly that the
Lcnguo won't work. Not because it is wrong, but because the
spirit of its membership is wrong dead wrong, and in every
real crisis HAS been wrong.
THE culpability of the various nations vary, but by and large
iliov nrn nil in thn snme boat. Thev are still using the
r.mrnA nnf br a medium to
medium for political and military advantage for THEMSELVES
in prepiirt ',inn for another world war.
Wo still believe and believe strongly, the only hope for
world pence, lies in a covenant of cooperation, conciliation and
collective action, participated in equally, by all the world
powers. .
Hut until a different spirit pervades the nations of the world
this remains a beautiful ideal, but NOT a realisable one.
AT least Hint's the way it looks at the preseut writing. The
latest report from Europe that. League sanctions against
Italy, have prnetienlly been called off, is the last straw.
No renl neion against Jnpan. No real action against Italy.
No action against Germany. And now Turkey has followed
Germany's example and occupied the Dardanelles, it's & ten
to one wnger there will be no action against her.
What, n fiiive, a ghnstly nnd a tragio one. Back to the old
junglo rule of tooth and claw, tho submission of the weak to
the force of the strong.
The Ix-ngtie of Nations was the right idea, still is, but
the world hns not advanced sufficiently to appreciate it. We
enll ourselves civilized but the grim truth is we AREN'T!
Decrease In Unemployment
WITH r,4 13,000 of the nation's 10 million unemployed hav
ing gone back to work in private industry between March
lflXi and Peeember, 1!3. the prospects of absorbing many more
during the first six months of IMti are considerably heightened
by the rising trend of business activity. Confirming this view,
the National Industrial Conference Board which released the
above figures, expects the industrial upturn to employ a total
of S.S'.tL'.OOO persons before July 1 of this year.
Relief figures for IMS show lS.SOO.OOO persons, (iucludii;?
dependents, children and tigeiO or 14. 8 of the total population
still receiving federal and state aid. This is a decrease of al
most 4 from previously published data. While it is impossible
to ascertain the exact number of people who have withdrawn
or been dropped from relief rolls or government projects within
the Inst three months, it is safe to assume that with daily addi
tions to relief rolls nnd the large number of unemployable,
the number of those still on relief has not been material de
creased since l'.:tr. figures were published. Of course it should
be realie.l there are thousands on relief, who are not employ.

that Is tha men

"For several

"I have alwaya believed that men

So, when the doctor tlld me It was
'Just my age' I didn't believe It and
went to another doctor."
(Sensible woman. If It were "Just
your age." every woman would auffer
In health at the age of 48 years or
so. The truth la that only a minor
ity of women experience any disturb
ance of health at that age. So this
old fogy doctor yho told the lady It
waa "Just her age" did not deserve
public confidence. The trouble Is
that there are too many of bta Ilk In
the medical profession).
"I went to another who said the

Press Comment
Governor Martin U Btsht
Earl Fehl, former Judge of Jackson
county, declines parole from the
state prison under the condition
that he remain away from Jackson
county during the term of his parole.
Thereby he will forfeit his claim to
sympathy In the minds of fair-minded
people.
Governor Martin's stipulation In
offering Fehl his freedom was one
entirely proper. If Fehl had no in
tention of fomenting further trouble
In Jackson county he should have
found no difficulty In accepting it.
Were his sentence completed he
would be In a position to stand on
his right to go wherever he might
choose. To be freed under parole la
something different. It is the duty
of the executive to safeguard the
public interest by imposing upon a
paroled prisoner such conditions as
seem to him necejsary. .
All this Is apart from the question
of the wisdom of bringing Fehl under
the parole law Instead of permitting
his release under the good-behavior
rule followed In the cases of many
other prisoners during the past thir
teen years. Qrantlng that proced
ure to be unlawful, as held by the
attorney-genersrs office, it still re
mains the fact that its revocation
should have been made in some case
other than that of Fehl, who Is
thereby made to appear as a political
prisoner. Initiation of the proceed
ing to keep Fehl in prison by the
Jackson county authorities is III
soTlsed and discriminatory,
The attorney -general's office declares
erroneous the report that a prior
opinion from that office had validat
ed the state prison procedure of lib
erating prisoners without parole by
a system of good behavior credits.
No such prior opinion had been
given by the attwney-genersl's of
fice. The Oregonlan acknowledges
with regret Its own part In the
spreading of that error. Portland

The lehl Parole
Farl H. Fehl. former Judpe of Jack
son county, serving a four year term
In states prison for complicity in the
ballot box theft that culminated In
murder, has refused a conditional
parole offered by Governor Martin
and will Institute habeas corpus pro
ceedings to secure his unconditional
release. He contends that his release
Is mandatory as he Is entitled to 18
months deduction of sentence for
good behavior, in the same manner
other prisoners have been released
since IMS. The attorney general
rules otherwise.
It Is well to have the Issue settled
and find out whether custom and
precedent supercede the letter of the
law which makes release of a prison
er befoie the expiration of a sentence
for good behavior credits subject to
approval by the governor.
The parole conditions that Mr.
Fehl retuite to accept specify that
he refrain from enfming in any
political or civic activities which

In caaea where hot flaahea cause

inadequate knowledge of the hor

It may be that the medicinal value

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Dentor Is Right
My dentist said he haa never heard
of clampa being made to atop tongue
sucking. My 7-year-old eon Is los
ing his teeth. The two lower front
teeth protrude outward caused by
pushing his tongue against them
when he sucks It. (Mrs. P. B.)
Answer. The dentor haa nothing
on me. I have never heard of such
appliance either. But the dentlat
should Install a suitable appliance
to atralghten the teeth. The tongue

Fehl'a release waa protested by of

of political disturbance, who feared
he would disturb the peace and har
mony that has prevailed since his
Incarceration along with that of L. A.
Banks, serving a life sentence for
murder.
, It is natural that Fehl would re
fuse to accept parole conditions for
his main occupation would be gone.
For over 30 yeara he has been a hell

SALEM MINISTERS
SALEM. Ore- April 18. (AP) Sa
lem Mehodlst ministers entered a
protest against staging a '"mock bat
tle" here Sunday.
The resolution, signed by four pas
tors were directed at the contact
camp of the Reserve Officers' asso
ciation which scheduled combination
air and ground war games here to
morrow morning. About 200 officers
and 10 planes were expected here to
participate In the two-day meet
starting today.
The resolution of protest stated:
"We note with concern that ar
rangements are being made to have
a battle scene of a mock wsr in
Sslem on Sunday and that 'the mili
tary minded will be there.
"It would seem that If such dem
onstrations must be, that those in
charge would be wl enough not to
outrage the Ideals and reverence of
a very large group of cltleena by stag
ing such military practice on the
'Lord s day."
"Being preachers In a church
which saya 'our churches shall not
be used in preparation for war; they
shall be used In preparation tor
peace.' we desire to record our pro
test. The deliberate use of the day for
military propaganda that has been
set aside for worship makes us ap
prehensive. It seems to to thst all
peace lovers ought to think pretty
carefully ol what conditions are In
countries where the military has con
trol, and If there be no protest, what
they thtk may become like here.'

It's the Social Seculty Idea
To the Editor:
Well, what you got to say about It?
I mean President Roosevelt's
speech last night.
Kot quite enough blood and thun
der, to suit some of the red meat
eaters.
While It was not a Sunday school
sermon It was very refreshing from
one standpoint, that even the presi
dent of the U. 8- of A. haa come to
the conclusion that there baa got
to be something done for both the
old folks and the youth of this the
greatest country In the world.
Now if this Isn't news, we don't
know what news Is. Here we have
been running around in circles for
the last five or six years, and did not
know what was the matter with us
and President Roosevelt found It all
by himself and he cornea right out
and tells us.
The president says: Raising the
question whether ttla not possible
and right to limit the active working
ages at both ends. (He did not tell
us of course that they were pretty
well limited at the present.)
Mr. Roosevelt said: Work out for
yourselves what would happen. If
all the boys and all of the girls of
14, IS, 16, 17, who are now working
In Industry, found It possible for
them to stay In school until they
were at least 18 years old. How many
Jobs would that give to young people
of the nation who have graduated
from high school and from college?
He visions more Jobs.
In the same way, ask yourself, how
many more Jobs would be created If
the great majority of people who are
now over 65 (to take a figure at
random) were in a position to retire
In security, for the balance of their
days here on earth.
If any one has any good reason
why this should not come to pass,
let's hear what It Is.

The Lloyd Lewis Case
To the Editor:
Tour comment on the Lloyd Lewis
plagiarism case hits the nut squarely
on the cabeza, in pleasing contrast
to the mawkish sympathy which the
Oregonlan expressed for this youth
ful thief. There is a deplorable ten
dency these days to excuse Ignorance
and moral depravity In young people,
one result of which as you point
out is to fill Jails with teen-age
adolescents and young men In their
early twenties.
True, Lewis probably never had
heard the word "plagarlsm," thanks
to the superficial way in whloh Eng
lish is taught in high schools. It Is
not possible, however, that a young
man of 18 believed It honest id
proper to copy what someone else
had written, palm It off as his own
and pocket a 95000 prize for so doing.
As you state, Lewis is not the type
for which our colleges were built. A
four-year course in the U. 8. navy
would do this young Missourlan more
good than a higher education. A po
sition at the foot of a primary class
In character building, with heavy
penalties for cheating, Is where he
belongs.
This disgraceful incident Is an ex
treme result of permitting high
school and college students to lean
heavily upon text-books, Instead of
doing their own thinking. Ask the
average young man or woman to
write an essay or make a speech upon
even a common subject, without any
outside help, and he or she is help
less, at a loss for words and Ideas.
Instead of teaching boys and girls
to think; training them to retain
what they have learned; drilling
them In reasoning and the logical
presentation of fact and ideas, stu
dents are permitted to limp through
school on text-book crutches, getting
by with parrot-like repetition of
what others have written and said.
Remove printed props snd the aver
age young person Is as helpless as a
one-armed paperbanger In fly time.
Most people, young and old. arc
mentally lazy, willing to let others
do their thinking. Millions of such
won't even make the intellectual ef
fort needed to show that a country
can't be made prosperous by Its
money makers turning one-third of
their income over to old people and
letting the latter spend It, instead of
those wao earn it. as Is being done
now. OWEN H. BARNHILL.
