One of these days some visitor from the exeat state of California will try to walk across the street at the comer of Main and Bartlett and end up in the near est hospital or the morgue. The ubiquitous "main stem" speeder will have got him. Then there will be a great hue and cry about WHY there is no effort to enforce the "pedestrian law" in Medford or in any other section of the. state for that matter. But that won't help the unfortunate victim from California, nor the city if a damage suit follows. It will be only another sad example of closing the barn door after the horse has escaped. Why not close the door BEFORE the tragedy hap pens rather than after! It is certainly up to the munici pal authorities to do sol WE have made a visiting Californian the unfortun afo naana lfir -Pry Anum fVnivn fViotr A r einfrwnr r tMJ UlTTVll UH-IC WlV KXVJ CJUUILC LUC pedestrian Jaw this is particularly true m Southern California. And any visitor from that state would naturally assume the same observance of the law would be made north of the Siskiyous. But it isn't. Here is the law: Pedestrians must be given the right of way at street Intersections. Any person walking across a street in a cross walk, whether such crosswalk is marked or 'not, has the right of way over motor vehicles A cross-walk is that area ordinarily represented by the Imaginary extensions of sidewalks across the streets at intersections. This provision of the Oregon Motor Manual, is not only NOT observed but there is an increasing disposi tion in this community, particularly among the juve nile dare devils, to try to come as near the cross walk pedestrian without taking off a leg as possible. (In xne west, iiierem icu . i , i . i mart it is better to be cap- fact we have a suspicion this is accepted in certain tured by the gentler of one's quarters as one of the up and coming outdoor sports.) The law gives the pedestrian the right of way. Com mon sense and common courtesy upholds such a prac tice. Those motorists who lack the latter qualities should be made to feel the force of the former and with a good stiff fine behind it.

Herr Hitler has taken direct command of the Nazi armies in the West. Therein Herr Hitler enemies than the realistic Rus sians, or a mob of mad country men. The House voted down New Deal plan for the govern ment to pay the railroad fare of migratory defense workers back home, or to new Jobs. The migrants received Klondike wages for their war efforts.- By cutting out a few week-end splurges they could have paid their own way back home in time to vote. As in all presidential cam paigns, when the pot begins to sizzle the public is advised by molders of opinion to use their What a Farce If reports from Dumbarton Oaks are correct, the framers of the new "League of Nations" have aban doned any idea of outlawing war, much less adopt ing any anti-war provisions with teeth in them. Only a post-war alliance of the Big 1 our England, Russia the United States and China is now propos ed, with a nledtre that none shall use force outside S D!oorprressuVeSowb'.'of their own borders without "CONSULTATION" the time for all good citizens to give their funny-bones chance. with the others.

The alliance, in other words, would undoubtedly work during that time as practically all peace al liances in the past have worked, during a period of war exhaustion. But how about it when the world recovers and a new generation arises? Here is what the delegates at Dumbarton Oaks say about that contingency we quote fly in front of the pedestrian at the right distance to land on a gun barrel, if the pedestrian had a gun. The state high school football situation has started to ferment. A number of noon luncheoners have already eaten their way to the first victory over a tra ditional foe. PEEP INTO THE FUTURE (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) "The amount of surplus war properties disposed of In the three months ended August 15 totaled $38,000,000, ac cording to an announcement by the Surplus War Property Administrator, W. L. Clayton. At this rate, disposal of the estimated total war surplus of 1054 billions would be ac complished in 673 years. And by that time it Is like ly a lot of us would have out grown Army shoes." The Germans now welcome the Allies as a way to end Nor ism, press dispatches say. They should have thought of .this sooner. Turning state's evi dence at this late date will not be enough to cause the United Nations to forget their frenzied cheers when Adolf ran hog-wild over little lands, and all the Quislings were In clover. Fin land has Just accepted the hard est armistice terms ever im posed. They are a tender sam ple of what Germany will re ceive. PIONEER TEAR TWISTER "Charley Frank's brindle bull pup is no more; he ran up against the Inevitable and both his life and body were curtailed. About 7:30 this morning a freight pulled In from the west, and as it passed Frank's place the pup found himself on the opposite side of the street from his master's house. As the train rattled by the pup got rattled too, and suddenly concluded he was needed at home. With a wild rush he leaped on the track between the wheels of a freight car, but before he could leap oft again the wheels had come between him and liberty. He turned and dnshed down the track along with the train, out running it. As he gained on the swiftly flying heels and saw daylight alongside, he tried to head the wheel off, but the wheel played the same game rapidly deteri orating Nazi power facing us has been more hastily nut together i from the rout it in France. IX Churchill aired L.iM what is the Paul Mallon prevailing ma jority Impres sion among official authorities here when he said he did not ex pect Hitler to surrender, but to flee to the hills with the last bands he can muster and hold there as long as possible. No doubt this is what Hitler Intends. His tactics betray that purpose. Bflt what he intends and what may happen can be different. Indeed, there is every prospect that at this writing moment of another uprising in Germany, a new and more suc cessful army revolution. e DER furious fuehrer killed army officers who might act up on their knowlcdgcof the wholly lost Nazi cause in the purge be fore Invasion.
