Get All The Facts
rilS paper is interested only in the FAGTS regarding the
city bond election on Wednesday,
For we are certain if the people have the facts, ALL the
facts they will from the standpoint of plain self interest vote
for these bonds. Certainly as we see it only those who don't
understand the proposal, haven't all the facts, could vote
against them. ' .
For it is something unusual in our municipal life to have
an opportunity to have on outside source, in' this case the
federal government, contribute nearly $60,000 in bard cash to
give us a greatly needed civic improvement. '
Not often in the past has Medford had the pleasure of being
offered such an amount of money, on a silver platter. And if
advantage is not taken of this offer three days hence, it will
be gone forever, or at least as far as the present pump prim
ing program is concerned.
. .
ON Friday we corrected the false report that if this $711,500
bond issue is authorized, it imposes a tax without limita
tion, or will be in any sense different from any of the other
general obligation bonds, of the city.
We trust therefore no one will go to the polls on Wednesday
and vote against the bonds under this misapprehension. These
bonds if passed, will obligate the city for the $73,500 with
interest only, and when that amount is paid, the entire, issue
will be wiped out. In no essential do these bonds differ from
any other general obligation bonds.
NOW we are informed that if this bond issue is authorized,
such authorization will not cancel the two-mill tax levy
formerly imposed for this road reconstruction, and therefore,
the circulators of this second "alarum" intimate that this levy
WILL be imposed, even though the bond issue is authorized.
There is no more truth in this, than in the other canard.
Obviously the two-mill levy could not be repealed or
SHOULD not be, until the bond issue has been authorized.
For if the bond issue should be voted down, and the two mill
levy repealed at the same time, no funds would be availuble
to carry on to completion the paving program which has already
started. .
Mayor Furnas and the members of the City Council have
publicly gone on rejord, and the resolution to that effect spread
upon the minutes, that if this bond issue is authorized, the
two-mill levy will be repealed, at the earliest possible moment.
Certainly no sane person can believe, that this pledge will not
be carried out.
The members of the council and the Mayor in fact, were as
loath as any tax payers could be, to increase the bonded in
debtedness of Medford by one .thin dime, but they decideil,
and decided correctly, that such an opportunity as the now
federal pump priming program offered, should not be pussed
by, that really they had NO RIGHT to deny the people the
opportunity to secure this gift of nearly $60,000, if they ,o
desired. '
IF the people of Medford don't waut this gift, it will certainly
A be perfectly OUeh with the members of the city government
as it will be with this newspaper.
It is a matter for the people to decide, and the people only.
But they should decide it in the light of ALL the facts,' with
a clear understanding of EVERYTHING) involved, and not
under sueh misapprehensions and
vine," is trying to produce at the 11th hour.
That is what this column is endeavoring to do between now
and election day, give the people ALL the facts 1

is un-Amerienn because, George Washington the first President
of the United States, issued a statement in which ho declared
the executive should not interfere with tho legislative depart
ment of tho government.
Well it shouldn't. But is it any more interference for a
President to urge the people to vote a certain way in 4 BYE
election, than in a REGULAR election!
And if the latter is not improper interference, why should
the former bef In both cases whether the President is running
for re-election, or members of the congress are, he is saying
what he wishes the people would do, but also certainly in both
instances tho people arc freo to go to the polls and do as they
darn please !
A S to the views of George Washington, we have always liked
what President Woodrow Wilson told the members of the
Virginia Bar association in 1897 long before he was President
and long before the "father of his country," was politically res
urrected to become the chief opponent of the League of Nations.
Here it is:
"Our fathers chose government to suit their ctrcumstancea
not to suit their ancestors, and we must follow the same good
rule."

IMMUNITY AOAIN
In Prance there are 3.000 deaths
annually from diphtheria and about
30,000 cases of the disease annually.
For years It
has been obliga
tory tor French
soldiers to be Im
munized against
diphtheria with
toxoid,- which Is
called anatoxlu
In France.
Not long ago
the lower house
of the French
legislature pass
ed a bill extend
ing . such com
pulsory Immunization (it Is Inaccur
ate to call It vaccination) to all
children during the second or third
year. Early In June of this year the
French senate passed a similar b(U,
so that Immunisation against diph
theria is now compulsory in France.
Parents or guardians are made re
sponsible for having all children Im
munized. No child can be admitted
to school without a certificate show
ing that this law has been compiled
with. On publication of the new law
In early June notice was given that
all children up to the age of 14 who
had not been Immunized must be
Immunized as soon as possible.
' The immunization! with toxoid
will be carried out entirely at gov
ernment expense. The French gov
ernment regards this as an econom
ical policy, believing that the outlay
will be amply compensated by &
marked reduction In the present sick
rate of 30,000 cases a year and the
death rate of 3,000 cases a year from
diphtheria.
They do some things better abroad
It never occurs to the United
States government or to the Domin
ion government or to tho various
state or ' provincial governments to
assume all the cost ot producing vac
cine, antitoxin, Pasteur virus, toxin
antitoxin or toxoid and all the cost
of protecting citizens with these
agents. In thU country we prefer to
go at It In Romo complicated, furtive,
Indirect v;ay, which will give petty
politicians opportunity for a bit of
legitimate graft and a chance to vent
their spite on a few citizens who
happen to resent assault or perhaps
people who do not believe in such
practices. We put one law or ordin
ance on the books which makes it
obligatory to send children to school;
bit of history and geography. The
Dardanelles perhaps five miles wide
and 120 long connects the mpq
Iterranean with the Sea of Mar
mora and then the Bonphorua less
than a mile wide and 18 miles long
leads east to the Black sea, Istanbul
Is built at the meeting of the Mar
mora and the Bosphorus. Europo and
Asia are separated by that very thin
line of cobalt blue water. The ruf
fians of the Crusades, especially from
Eastern Europe what today is Po
land, Germany and the Danubian
countries mounted their horses,
whistled to their wives, dogs and re
tainers and started walking to the
Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem. The
city of Constantino was on their way
so they stopped there much to the
annoyance of the emperor of the
Eastern Roman Empire. In order to
get rid of these unwelcome guests he
ferried them across the narrow strip
of water, knowing full well that the
cllmato and the Araba would take
care of the problem.
The fourth crusade was diverted
from Palestine by the Merchants of
Venice In order to help collect a debt
and took and sacked Constantinople.
However, tnai waa not the end of the
Christian City for It continued to
flourish as the center of Ore ex and
western culture until 1453 when It
fell to the Turk and has been the
center of eastern culture, torture, re
ligion and wealth until a decade &o.
THERE aro very few ruins hers. The
pttlaces and mosques are begin
ning to go the way of Athens and
Rome but the disintegration is Just
commencing. If we glance Ins'de the
old palace what do we find? Court
yards of many sizes and shapes hem
med In by dreary buildings. Here the
kitchens where 800 cooks lnbored a
thousand sheep were slaughtered and
consumed every day. Through a gate

In cabinets and covering the walls
and ceilings are over one hundred
thousand plates and platters of china
from China. Not the China that
Bridget breaks but the china that
Aunt Lizzie kept In the corner cabi
net to gaze at. All brought on the
backs of slaves, of camels, or donkeys,
thousands of miles over deserts and
mountain passes and whits water
rivers. "Hurry hurry don't waste
your time on Ming China."
What Is here? The dagger of Salo
din. Inlaid with Jewels of which the
most prominent are six emeralds the
size and shape of a hen'a egg cut
lengthwise. The Jewels on this 10
Inch throat slitter are valued at two
million English pounds. This Is only
unique because of its erstwhile own
ership not because of its gems. There
are eight large rooms here filled with
gold and Jewels as ornaments for
every occasion. Forehead plumes for
the horses of the sultans, guard -studded
with diamonds and pearls.
Crowns snd necklaces for the sultans.

No Intelligent medical man can get
around the fundamental fact that. If
vaccination affords the protection we
believe It does, no one who la vac
cinated has anything to fear from
one who Is not vaccinated, In any
circumstances. Therefore people who
believe In vaccination have no
ground for Imposing their belief
upon people who for any reason do
not wish to be vaccinated.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Rabbles In Man
Our hygiene class discussed sub
ject of rabies and Pasteur treatment
Instructor was surprised when I said
modern medical opinion doubted
even existence of rabies In man. Can
you give me references to scientific
evidence, experimental or clinical
data bearing on the question? (B.
J. P.)
Answer Until someone discovers a
germ or other cause of rabies, there
can be no scientific proof of such
a disease. I can only give my earnest
conviction that rabies does not occur
in manj I bellove the cause of death
In some cases the health department
oracle designates as rabies Is actu
ally tetanus, (lock Jaw) which gains
entrance through the bite or scratch
Just as that or any other Infection
may gain entrance through any
wound, scratch or puncture. But my
opinion Is shared by few physicians,
I fear; you will find the great ma
jority of physicians still believe in
human rabies even in so-called Pas
teur treatment (homeopathic doses
of the spinal cord of an animal pre
sumably dead of rabies).
Fruit Acids
What acids are In strawberries,
peaches, apricots, plus, cherries, pine
apples, prunes, nectarines, cranber
ries? (M. H.)
Answer Citric, tartaric, malic acids
all readily oxidized In the body,
into carbon dioxide ' and alkaline
bases. Cranberries, plums and prunes
contain some benzoic acid, not oxi
dized. Ed Note . Pemont wishing to

vorlto and hundreds of women who
were collected from all over the east

Here the ruler felt comparatively safe
although he knew that his life de
pended upon an ever watchfulness.
His food came from the kitchens
sealed In the containers with the
cartouch of the head cook. He opened
It and fed some to his dogs. If they
ate, then to his white eunuchs and
only then he ate. His least suspicion
was translated Into the bastinado,
the sack thrown Into the sea or the
strangling cord. Also If he wanted
to add to his collection he simply
blotted out the unlucky owners.
Many of the finest mosques were
third and fourth century Christian
churches. Santa Sophia la a good
example. Once a church with a dome
almost 300 feet from the floor and
large enough to accommodate 30,000
worshippers contained some of the
very best mosaics In the world. Huge
holy pictures of Christ, the Virgin
and many scenes from Christ's life on
the domes and walls. These were all
covered with yellow plaster and the
Mohammedan symbols painted. Thus
for centuries the pictures made with
tiny colored stones and cubes of
golden glass were covered. Only now
are they being cleaned and restored.
PRESIDENT Ataturk (Kemal Pasha

were In Istanbul and his yacht which
he recently purchased from an Amer
ican lady for four million dollars, was
moored Just abaft our beam.
The parts of the eastern Mediter

By GfcOKUE TICK KB
NEW ORLEANS As state director
of the Federal Writers' Project, Lyle
Saxon Isn't making as much money
as he would be If he were sitting at
a desk on his
place nesr Mel
rose plantation,
pounding out
fiction, but ho is
having a lot of
fun and accom
' pushing some
thing that will
benefit his ca
reer in the long
run as well as
p e r f or mtng a
chore of indutl
able merit for
the . people of
feEOX&E TUCKtA Louisiana.
Lyle la writing four books, the first
of which is already on the market,
and under his hand are some 85 as
sistants doing research, compiling
data on early Louisiana history and
In general accumulating a fund of
material that has never before been
available to the public.
Saxon's first book is the "New Or
leans City Guide," a magnificent
piece of work that begins with the
days of LaSatle and ends with pres
ent New Orleans.
His second, well underway, is a
guide to Louisiana, doing for the
state as a whole what the first has
done for this city. A. third will deal
with folklore In Louisiana, and the
fourth takes up the history of tbf
Negro from the time he was chained
in the hold of slave ships to the pres
ent day.
This represents exhaustive research
and, as Saxon tells you, "All of my
previous books took so long that of
ten I was months on end doing re
search before the actual writing go',
underway, With 'LaFitte the Pirate,
for Instance, I was a whole year ac
cumulating data before a line was
set down on paper."
But when Lyle was writing that
book, and "Fabulous New Orleans,"
and "Father Mississippi," to name n
few, he was doing all the work him
self. Now he has a staff of 85 doing
the heavy chores. He thinks the con
siderable sum In money sacrificed by
this assignment wil amply be repaid
him when this accumulated data
comes under his hand.
Lyle Saxon Is an amiable, easy- go
tng, big, gray-haired, 46-year-old fel
low with a talent for conversation
and a fine appreclattcn of were
wolves, ghosts, witches, eccentric?
and pirates. He makes his home at
the St. Charles hotel and counts
among his friends William Faulkner.
Carl Cramer and his wife (the former
Betty Black of New Orleans), Sher
wood Anderson Roark Bradford, aiul
many others.
As for his private work, now intrr
rupted by the writers' project, he has
on hand a half-completed novnl
which deals with the career of a
Southern family from the days of re
construction to the present. His most
recent book was "Children of Strang
ers," based on the rather delicate
subject of people who believe they
are whltts but aren't. As for pleas
ant surprises, there have been two
within the year, things that pleased
htm very much. One was when Cecil
B. DeMllle bought his baok "LaFttU
the Pirate" and made It into "The
Buccaneer." The second was when
Pare Lorena produced the film "Thr
River," and then told everybody tbat
of all books written on the Mississip
pi, the two which seemed most au
thoritative to him were "Life On th.
Mississippi" by Mark Twain, and "Fa
ther Mississippi" by Lyle Saxon.

Where ignorance is bliss
'tis folly to be wise.
Maybe but usually ignor
ance is in for a surprise.
Seems as tho some get by
who are really dumb.
But probably their ignorance
costs 'em a pretty sum.
As to that I wouldn't know,
for the kind we sell
Seem to have, cut their wis
dom teeth quite a spell!
At least when they come in
to trade their old cart,.
Fact they buy Chovrolet
show's they're PLENTY
smart.
