M H. 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. If he falls, at least tula while daring greatly; eo that
his place shall never be with thou cold and timid souls who
know neither victory nor defeat."
We understand the above extract from a book, which has
long since, been forgotten, occupies an important place in a
certain room in the White House.
It must be helpful at times, to the present occupant of the
execitive mansion. It was written by one of his distinguished
predecessors when he was the standard bearer of the Republican
party.

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

tion., or advlco,
there Is no law
to prevent the
bird from saying
ao."

way of an evwive

il v - '1 proposed that I

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. You
can tell he la not giving anything
away from the way he estlmatrs the
benefit of a year's duration. Blng
newspaper writer himiself, and what's
worse a syndicated one, ho knows my
column has been running in the pa
per he mentions for 33 years or more,
dally and Punday, without a break,
unless rarely on account of earth
quake, flood or great windstorm. Has
the man only Just started reading
my column, or waa the information

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

Then suddenly, after the western
most markets had closed on Wednes

the margin requirements on short

the end of the paragraph tho cor
respondent aald he haa shaking palsy
(paralysis aglt'ans. Parkinson's dis
ease). Answer Prolonged medication with
small dosea of hyoscln plua apnrthy
rold hormone and vitamin D have
seemed to give a good deal of relief
to such sufferers. Only the pati
ent's own physician can successfully
or safely administer such treatment
Hyperacidity.
Please reprint the diet or menus
you gave some time ago for hyper
acidity. (E.)

If, as now seems probable, the big
financial Interests of the country
have been able to convince the presi
dent that the New Deal benefits
should extend to them also, they
may team up with the administra
tion to bring about an era of econo
mic stability.
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. Excess reserves

NEW YORK. 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."

Gladiolus
(By Lyman A. Frits
The valley is kiwed by morning mist.
Caressed by the sun at noon:
This l surely a favored spot,
Where the gladiolus bloom.
These lovely flowers with rainbow
hue,
Have pure and stately grace;
They thrill the lover of beautiful
things.
And are fit for a heavenly place.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE big Issue In this country
RIGHT NOW 1 this:
Shall we have government by the
people, as in the past, or shall we
have government by ONE MAN?
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT 1 de
manding: 1. A rubber stamp congress that
will Jump when he crack the whip.
2. Control of Industry and labor.
3. Control of agriculture.
4. Control of the courts.
If he gets these things, we will
HAVE one-man government.
LET us gtve Roosevelt his Just due.
He doesn't aspire to be a
swashbuckling dictator, riding rough
shod over the liberties of the people.
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
