S. Can "Take It FRIDAY night the Medford High School suffered one of its worst football defeats in recent years. The local boys were outclassed in every department of the game, by the lava bears from Bend, the final score 32 to 7. While this was a new experience for Medford, which has been "tops" or near there, so many years, the finest spirit of sportsmanship was displayed by the members of the team, the cheering sections and the crowd. The Medford boys were outclassed, but they were in there fighting all the time, and had occasional flashes of form, which augurs well, for the team, in the remainder of this year's schedule, and particularly for next year. ' In short Medford demonstrated that it can not only rlih it out where football is concerned, but can TAKE it. While this may be meagre consolation for those who always want to be on the winning side, the display of such a spirit, is far more important, than just how many victories on a given schedule are, or are not secured. ONE of the greatest things about football, is the spirit of self control and good sportsmanship, it engenders or should engender. M. H. S. took an awful beating Friday night. But it didn't take it lying down, and the manner in which that defeat WAS aoeepted, was in harmony with the finest traditions of this great outdoor game. We congratulate the team, the cheering sections, and the large crowd, on the spirit displayed. Must Fight For Peace ANYONE who has ever lived on a farm knows that he cannot for long halt a team and loaded wagon on a steep upgrade. Either the team will pull the load to the top or the wagon will drag the horses back to the bottom. The same applies to the burden of war. Either the human race will keep struggling until it reaches the hilltop of peace, or armed conflict will drag it into the abyss where civilization will perish. We stand at the critical hour of decision. The world has been awakened to both the awfulness and the usclessness of war as never before. The glamour and romance of wholesale slaugh ter have disappeared as mists before the morning sun of realism. Killing men as a righteous, respectable act took its last stand in the trenches of the World war. IF all this be true, if the peoples of the earth desire peace, then why do they not rise in their might and strike the deathblow to war once and for all T Is not public opinion the ultimate sovereign f It is . . . But the system of war, which has endured for countless centuries, cannot be uprooted by a simple wave of human emotion, no matter how overwhelming. What is ingrained in the habits of man and what has been the foundation of international relations through all history that "might makes right" and "to the victors belong the spoils" cannot be destroyed by merely pious. i It is crystal clear to anyone who will follow to a logical conclusion the case of war and peace as it now exists, that we must definitely organize for peace or even the will to peace will disappear. "Do you mean to tell me," you ask, "that we will not always abhor war, regardless of Exactly so. Psychologists tell hold on man similar to the fascination of beauty. The former is more primitive, like the weed; beauty, like fine flowers, must be cultivated and nurtured to endure. Plant life always reverts to the wild when left alone; and. high-minded resolves, if un cultivated, tend to be displaced by primitive notions of conquest. SURELY, one of the finest prbducts of civilization is a hatred of war, the feeling of repulsiveness for armed conflict. But no feeling can bo sustained unless it finds some fulfillment. An emotion rises to its peak, with resistless power for achieve ment, but if not put to work, it wastes away and dies. If the current agitation against war finds no outlet in a real peace movement, if the people whose feelings run high find only frustration to their higher emotions, if a sense of complete futility results from the present awakening to the agonies and insanities of the war system which will be the result if we depend simply upon agitation and do riot organize for peace then civilization is set back for centuries. The reason is that frutration breeds reaction and people find compensation in adjusting themselves to what they deem inevitable. If this fatalism creeps over us, we shall return, emotionally, to the wild; war's horrors will fascinate us and world peace will be smashed on the rocks of cynicism and frus tration. Frank E. Gannett in Rotary Magazine, One Roosevelt To Another "It la not the critic who counta. not the man who polnta out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could hsve done better: the credit belong to the man who la actually in the arena, whose face 1 marred by dust and sweat and blood, who erra and come short again and again: who knowa the great enthusiasm and great devotlona and spends himself In a worthy canae; who. at the beat, knowa In the end the triumph of high achievements, and who. at tha worst.

PRACTICALLY Speaking of testimonial recently I said: "If anyone haa benefited or thinks ha haa benefited in any way by read ing thla column or by writing to mo for Informa tion., or advlco, there Is no law to prevent the bird from saying ao." That waa by way of an evwive fVO apondent who il v - '1 proposed that I 11 tfVw4 offer prizes for llnMMaItte2y otters telling of the help readers have gained from this column. As though there was no Scottish In me. Why pay for testimonials, I ask. when I get 'em free? For example, the above announcement that It Is not against the law brought this one: "Your column this morning serves to remind me that for some time I've been putting off writing you to say that I owe a great deal to you for my steady Improvement In health tn the past years." , Right here I'd be willing to believe this chap has a good deal more Scot tish blood in him than I have.

Also among the visitors was James Per kins, president of the National City bank in New York. Meanwhile. In Washington, up until the eve of the announcement of the new margin requirement, there was no indication that any statement was forthcoming. The federal reserve board met to days before and it la reported that Dr. Carl Perry, margin expe:t, didn't even attend. Then suddenly, after the western most markets had closed on Wednes day, the statement came out. raising the margin requirements on short sales, lowering them on stock bought. The Istter la taken at a friendly ges ture to Wall Street, which had com plained about the penalty of buying. The. belated salve for the market may not stop a major business set back ir It's on the books, but there are half a dozen reasons why there may not be much further recession anyhow. They are: 1. A strong and flexible banking system, well fortified with large ex ceas reserves. 2. Absence or widespread specula tion in the stock market, such as was the case in 1920. 3. Delayed building program, which, with proper encouragement by the federal gm-ernment and bank ing interesta of the country, may set the pace for a business recovery early next year. 4.

A drag on recovery prospects at the present time, however. Is the war situation in foreign countries. Should the war situation clear on all fronts, business recovery in this country might be prompt and sharp. Month-end reports issued by the federal reserve board, the department of commerce and the department of labor show that the downward curve of Industrial production and in other lines of trade and business was ac centuated during the month of Octo ber. The decline in industrial produc tion in September and during the first few weeks of October have re duced output to about the level of a year ago. At steel mills, where out put In August had been at a high level, partly on the basis of orders placed earlier in the year, activity was reduced to an average rate of 75 per cent of capacity In September This decline continued In October, as new orders were limited tn volume, and the rate of steel output In the fourth week of the month Is estimat ed at about A3 per cent of capacity. Such a sharp decline In steel output, government economists say, may be followed by i sharp rebound, especi ally aa automobile production ad vanced sharply during October, when most manufacturers began assem bling 1038 models. Freight car loadings in the week ended Oct. 16 totaled 610,000. a re duction of 8.000 cars from the pre ceding weeks. Construction contracts awarded In the first half of October were practically unchanged on a dally average basis from September. The general level of wholesale com modity prices declined from 87.8 per cent of the 1036 average in the latter part of September to 883 in the middle of October.

Oct. 80. Another edi torial out of Kansas threatens to rl M in popularity the famous WIN lam A 1 le n White's masterpiece: "What's the mat ter with Kan sas?" Shortly be fore bis passing few montha ago, R. E. Josh Wilson, editorial writer on the Wichita Beacon, penned the now famous: "When I Die." It runs: When I die t shall, ac complish in the millionth of the twinkling of an eye that which science through the ages has been unable to achieve. I shall have learned the secrets of the universe. Unfettered. I shall fcave proceeded the farthest star of the universal nebulae . . . Knowledge of the Infinite will be mine when I die. While loved ones gsther round, perhaps to mourn, I shall know that in the heavens are many mansions. I have seen them on dark nights as t have contem plated the skies. And beyond those are countless more. On Asterlon may my spirit rest or I may pass through gates of pearl into a home of golden thoroughfares on a star the llht of which has not yet reached the world wherein I have had my being. Or I may choo?e a planet for eternal residence, that its rays may be observed by those I loved below. When I die, though no shackles bind me, there will continue the ties of love which endure when the heart no longer throbs, warm blood no more to course through the arteries that withered as twilight n&ared. the soul to soar in timeless flight. Thus I shall not be detached from things of precious memory, agea passing as swiftly as an instant Is told by the hour glass within the garden's lovely walls. I may view from the firma ment of space the tread, the disso lution and the resurrection of those whom I left behind. I shall be ec static, for their good deeds will have sweetened my everlasting peace, their remissness of trivial moment before the great Jurist who determines des tinies. When I die I shall mingle with kings who loved their fellowmen on earth, with commoners whose exalted works placed them near the throne on high. Trillions who have gone to dust to rise again will pass before me and I will know them all; for souls may remain as Individuals yet they are as one, even as the sea Is the assembling of drops of water drawn together through nature's powers. Should my grievous worldly faults consign me to existence as an earth bound soul until penance has been done, , X shall be satisfied as I pro ceed through lower astral planes. I shall have no ills of body and my mind will prove serene In the knowl edge that as I achieve atonement I shall be admitted to eternal joys. 1 will suffer no hunger or thirst uor will I endure distress for lack of shelter as I pass over extensive dis tances on the wings of night, un hindered by the elements. t may look in upon a quiet fireside where sit those who were my friends; I may seek them out though they are . beyond vast oceans in widely scattered lands. I may contemplate them In thir endeavors, though one h In London, another in Antipodes. Physical space will mean nothing as I continue earth bound In expiation. I shall enjoy earthly contacts, yet be among the immortals. Should it be that there Is naught beyond the grave, still shall have been given me the greatest of boons that humankind desires. What sweeter blessing do we ask than dreamless sleep? That shUl be mine, should it be that when the soul takes flight from Its encasement of flesh and bone It is no more. 1 shall then be beyond the Bufferings of vitality, no uncertainties swatting me In a celestial void. Priceless sleep! Why fear to die? Note: Mr. Wilson was one of the quiet contemplators of existence so often found writing anonymously for the editorial pages. Although not conscious of the great change so many thinker now call translation, he was In the shadow of Death, when one day at his desk he was suddenly inspired to write this epic so differ ed, from hta usual vein. It was only a short while later that he rather prophetically and quite fearlessly faced the experience the late Charles Frohman on a sinking ship called "life' greatest adventure."

OPTIMISM HELD E BY VIOLA SWEET Optimism as a science productive of happier and more prosperous lives Is being explained, analyzed and ap plied to every day life by Viola Sweet in uer series of free lecture at St. Mark's Guild hall on North Oakdate avenue. Mrs. Sweet explains that the whole secret of successful living lies In a common sense understanding of the rules of health, success, happiness and mental well-being, which every body should know, but few do. "You can have and be whatever you wish If you sincerely desire it and are willing to put forth earnest ef fort," says Mrs. Sweet. "I do not mean that one can Just want something and sit idly by watting for it to come the fulfillment of ambition needs the concentrated effort of the Individual,' she declared In her excellent talk on "The Joy of Living."

"After all, a man 1 only as big as hi thoughts. One of the greatest dtcoertes ever made by man is the creative power of thought. Thoughts are not only things but they are very important things. Everything that we have today, whether in the realm of science, of Invention, of philosophy, or of religion, 1 our because some human mind advanced his thinking and then grew to the largeness of his thoughts." The crowds continue in attendance at the Sweet lecture wrie but the personnel of the gathering charges through the addition of interested people who Join the groups from time to time, to hear the speaker give her theory of life and the success of liv ing. Mrs. Sweet, who Is well known throughout the middle west and on the Pactfic coast, haa lived her phil osophy, so she leaves In the minds of her hearers the assurance they too. can achieve health, success and hap piness, as she has done.

He merely believes that if given su preme power HE can do a better job of governing' the United States of America than the PEOPLE have done tn the past. So he seeks personal power, SUPPOSE we grant, for the sake of argument, that Franklin D. Roosevelt, as a beneficent dictator, can govern us better than we have been able to govern ourselves. Grant ing even that, we must face thie question; THE dictatorship of the first Caes ars followed the breakdown of popular government tn Rome. The first Caesars were BENEFICENT dic tators. They governed the Roman peo ple better than the Roman people had been recently able to govern themselves. But the beneficent first Caesars were followed by INSANE NERO AND CALIGULA., under whose mad reign the Roman people suffered unbeliev ably. That has been the history of dicta torship. It may start good, but it soon OETS BAD. YOU may not believe that the big issue In this country right now 1 one-man government a opposed to government by the people. But at least you should watch the struggle for one-man power that 1 going on In Washington. You may believe that Franklin D. Roosevelt can govern us better than we can govern ourselves. But at least you should ask yourself this ques tion: WHO WILL FOLLOW ROOSEVELTt WASHING-TON. Oct, 30fAPl Ad. mlnlJtrator J. D.
