inasmuch ho is a teacher he looked

people who have delved into Cits
ter'b life who would probably say
It s a good thing the Lone Rang
er fell down on the Job and the
only regrettable part of the inci
dent was the fact the Custer didn't
make his lust stand alone but had
to lke along a lot of good men
jn ins loolhardmcss. Ol course
there is another angle also, if the
Lone Ranger had succeeded what
would the Breweries have done for
an inspiring picture that was an
essential part of the back-bar oi
hundreds of places of early day
refreshment vulgarly spoken of as
"saloons."
The criticism is obvious, when a
fictional character takes the place
of actual people who help write
the pages of history In the minds
of the youth of the nation we might
question if handling the subject of
history in this mam.:r Is right and.
proper. Personally l am amused
.as I cannot stiscnuo to me lears
of the educators and I think that
as long as the Lone Ranger sticks
to historical facts even though no
licious himself he can do a bel
ter Job of teaching the history of
the west than many an educator
with a string of Ph.D's.
In youth we have imagination, we
worship fictional heroes and find
Intense Interest in flights of fancy.
Education does Its best to stifle this
elementary human impulse and
make us practical individuals,
stamped with the common mold of
the civilization of our time. It is
indeed fortunate for us that there
are a few Individuals who 6an es
.cape and resist the levelling fac
tor. How much better Is it to wor
ship an honorable character like
the Lone Ranger even though fic
tional, as is the case in America
in comparison to political dictates
Jn foreign countries which uphold
equally fictional characters of stern
visaged men of modern times.
Hie distortion of history, my
friend points out, is not alone con
fined to the fictional, heroes of
breakfast food fame but is being
promulgated by educators them
selves through modern day texts.
The history text he uses presents
the story of the Civil War as a
struggle over slavery and that slav
ery was the cause ur the war be
tween the states. He must point
out- to his students that this was
but one factor and that there were
tory.
Slavery, of course, became the
symbol of the conflict but there
were other factors of equal impor
tance that shaped the course of
destiny. In speaking of the feeling
of the people at that time and the
abolitionists General Grant stated:
"Up to the Mexican war there
were few out and out abolitionists
men who carried their hostility to
slavery into all elections, from
ihose for a Justice of peace up to
the Presidency of the United
Stales. They were noisy but not
numerous. But the great majority
of the people at the North, where
slavery did not exist, were opposed
to the institution, and looked upon
its existance in any part of the
country as unfortunate. They did
not hold the States where slavery
existed responsible for ft; and be
lieved that protection should be
given to the right of property in
slaves until some satisfactory way
could Lie reaencu to De rid of the
institution. Opposition to slavery
was -not a creed of either political
party, in some sections more anti
slavery men belonged to the Demo
cratic party, and in others to the
Whigs. But with the Inauguration of
the Mexican war, in fact with the
annexation of Texas, the 'Inevitable
conflict' commenced."
General Grant continues, "As the
Presidential election of 185B the
first at which I had the opportun
ity of voting approached, party
feeling ran high. The Republican
party was regarded in the South
and border stales not only as op
posed to the extension of slavery,
but as favoring compulsory aboli
tion of the institution without com
pensation to the owners. The most
horrible visions seemed to present
themselves to the minds of people
who, one would suppose, ought to
have known better. Many edu
cated and, otherwise, sensible per
sons appeared to believe that
emancipation meant social equal
ity. Treason to the Government
was openly advocated and was not
rebuked, It was evident to mv
mind lhat an election of a Remib-
lican President In 1856 meant the
secession of all Slave States and
rebellion. Under these circum
stances x preferred the success of
a candidate whose election would
prevent or postpone secession to
seeing the country plunged into
war ..."

TELLING THE EDITOR
HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK Un Lester B.
Dill's biggest asset is a hole Ih
the ground.
"I guess you'd be sale in saying
I am the most succcsslul private
cavo operator In America, " admit'
ted Lester, who Is the Phlncas T,
Bnrnum of underground showman,
ship.
As a barefoot farm boy Lester
used to love to explore tho glnnt
Meramac caverns, 35 miles south
west of St. Louis, whero legend
held that outlaw Jesse James and
his Bung hlri and burled their lout
In 1933 Dill achieved his boy
hood dream and bought the cave,
whioh ho says Is exceeded In she
only by Kentucky's Mammoth
Cavo and New Mexico's Carlsbad
caverns. It as 28 miles ol pas
sageways, an underground river,
and according lo Dill "Is colebrnt
lug lis hundred millionth birthday
una year." Nouody baked It a cake,
The cave cost $30,000, and Les
ter, who saw the business possi
bilities in It lhat Jesse James ov
erlooked, now wouldn't sell 11 for
a million dollars.
"We've hnd 1,000.000 visitors
since 1033." he said. "But the cave
business Isn't as rosy as some peo
ple tlibik It Is. You can't stand
Mil! In Uie cave business. You have
to keep up with tho times.
"People don't want to go Into
a cave Just to look at tho dark
ness. They want to seo something.
You have to dramatize tho cavo
put In music and daylight light
ing." Lesler puts on a show that winds
up with a record of Kale Smith
singing "Ood Bless America" and
a projection of the U.S. flag proud
ly waving against a rock wall 600
ieet underground.
He has lound that most people
will believe anything but tho truth
once they get In a cave. Take
thoso blind fish In his caverns.
They arc only two or three inches
long. Lester went to a lot of trou
ble catching SO of them and put
ting them in a pool.
"Everybody thought they were
fakes," ho said. "So I Just losseh
me a 30-pound catfish in that pool.
Mow, as far as I know, that cat
Ilsh could see as well as an eagle,
and I didn't even claim it was
near-slghlcd.
"But everybody looked at It and
said, 'See that big blind fish.' And
they were happy. Couldn't sell 'em
at ail on tne nine usn mat were
really blind."
Same way with his guides, Les
ter has a hillbilly guide who tells
the tourists tall talcs about the
cave, and a college-trained guide
"Most of 'em prefer the hillbilly
guide," Lester said. "People Just
don't have any faith In a college
graduate In a cave."
Lester onco Jestingly aiuiounccd
lie was prepared to modernize his
cave and shelter one million peo
ple in tho event of atomic attack.
Immediately he was besieged by
mail requests for room reserva
tions. "As a matter of fact a well lo
cated cave Is the safest place In
the world during earthquakes,
Hies, floods, or storms," he said.
"You never heard of anybody be
ing struck by lightning In a cave,
did you? Lightning Just won't go
into a cave."
Dill says there are 418 commer
cial caves in 39 states, but most
operators don't make much profil
because they let their caves get
out of date. That's why a lot ol
them are up tor sale.
"Most lolks, though, dream
about owning an Island, and I can't
se why," said Lester, "feel hem
med In on an Island."
Tho tlrst thing Lester did on his
arrival In Manhattan was to visit
Ihe subway and he promptly got
lost, tie nas a very low opinion
of the subway.
"If it weren't for the ride. 1
doubt If anybody would pay their
way m lo sec it," he observed
The subway charges 15 cents,
and tho customers come out scowl

and they emerge humming "Ood

"The only difference Is In the
howmanship," said Lester, mod
eslly.
CLEAN UP
The Editor:
Why don't the churches combine
and start a clean up drive on the
crime movies and magazines which
are teaching the Juveniles to be
1953 model criminals? Just notice
daily the movies 9 out of 10 are
of sex, murder, hold ups, cowboys
and other trash. It has been done
in other towns and cities. Why not
nere? me "Juvenile" as they are
known are wiser today than a fifty
year old person 10 years ago. The
most of them take pattern from
that bunch of degenerates In Hol
lywood. . .Glamor-stars. Just what
won't they stoop to. for a dollar?
Just look at any news stand the
trasn tncy sen to ine kicis. .
I hope you print this letter in
your paper.
Mrs. Mary Myers
Dear Mr. Editor:
The letter you published Irom
R. B. Burke, Klamath Palls, con
tained many challenging state
ments. Mr. Burks made no reference to
his age, so let us assume he Is not
a child. However, there Is the pos
sibility that he is not an adult, so
we will direct this message to him
in the simplest form possible.
Communism may have acquired
a foothold during a Republican Ad
ministration, but quotable facts de
termine that Franklin Roosevelt
sponsored the strengthening of that
foothold. The Democrats even sup
plied the material and labor to ce
ment that foothold.
There may have been much
bootleg chasing by Mr. Hoover and
his "gang". And a great many
"one two threes" called by the
chasers. But not too many were
called "out" by the Democrats be
cause the players were too close to
the safety of home base.
Accusing Truman of inventing
Communism is as ridiculous as In
sisting that President Eisenhower
deliberately caused the recent
drought. However, both men have
dealt with their problem in the
manner that has come to be ex
pected of them.
. Certainly the Communists have
been on the upward march In this
country. The recent revealing facts
now show us why the Communists
could march so precisely. Tne
rhythm and step was paced by the
consistent beating of the Democrat
ic drums.
Mr. Burke, you lo.fj sight of the
fact that it is not the Republicans
that have a case against Truman.
It is the people of the United States
that have been wronged. A ma
jority of people In these United
States depend upon honesty, dig
nity and fair procedure to evalu
ate the truth. "Pushing It," as you
say, would necessitate resorting to
the colorful practice of "letter
writing" and mud slinging. Such
practices make amusing reading,
but we are forced to admit there
is nothing funny in this situation.
You ask If the Republicans arc
afraid of losing a few votes. The
Republicans do not believe party
politics more Important than the
welfare of the United States.
You refer to Eisenhower's
'gang." The word, Mr. Burke, is
Cabinet. Our not too elderly Doug
las McKay Is an esteemed mem
ber of that Cabinet. It is the ac
cepted procedure for each Pres
ident to appoint a Cabinet. That is
one of the important differences
between a democracy and a dictatorship.
As to the spreading business: we
leave that entirely to you and
your associates. That is one ac
complishment you have perfected
beautifully.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hiram L. Ferguson

Readers of this column often say
to me. "Your writings are so sim
ple." Now whether or not this state
ment is meant to be compliment
ary Is not always Immediately ap
parent. So today let us attempt to
add some difficulty and dignity to
said column by discussing the sup
posed "high-brow" law of gravitation.
We are fold that one summer
day Sir Isaac Newton was relaxing
under the pleasant shade of an ap:
pie tree. Suddenly there was a
slight commotion a m o n g the
branches above him, and tumbling
down came a big apple.
Now why- did this apple conic
down? Why didn't It go up or off
sideways? What force made It go
toward the earth? Newton final
ly was able to show that the moon
was constantly falling toward the
earth at the rate of .05 Inch per
second. It never reached the earth
since It was constantly moving In
Its orbit. This fall was needed to
keep the moon at about the same
distance from the earth.
After such study the noted
scientist was convinced that there
Is attraction everywhere in the
great universe and propounded his
formula which has since been
known as the law of universal gra
vitation. This is generally stated
thus: "Every particle of matter In
tne universe attracts every other
particle with a force which varies
directly as the product of Iheir
masses and inversely as the sauare
of the distance between them."
Does this mean that two apples
hanging on a tree are attracted
toward each other? It certainly
does, and this force of attraction
can be accurately calculated. How
ever, this force is very, very mi
nute. The data needed for the cal
culation Is the distance between
their centers and the mass of
each. If the mass of one Is doubled,
the attraction Is doubled. If the
mass of each Is doubled, the at
traction Is quadrupled, since the
attraction varies as the product of
the masses. -
The mass acts as though It were
all at the center of the body. An
apple with a mass of one pound Is
attracted toward the center of the
earth 4,000 miles away with a force
ol one pound. If the apple Is taken
4,000 miles above the earth. It will
be 0.000 miles from the center and
will weigh only H pound: It 15,000
miles Horn the center, it Is three
times as far as when on the sur
face, so Ihe weight Is t-91b. In
versely as the square of the distance.
Small bsbles learn that rat
tle will fall It released. Even our
cat knows something about the
low of gravitation. If handed a
dainty morsel when he is sitting
on a chair with his head over the
edge, he will get back before
starting to eat, for he knows that
he will lose the food If it escapes
his mouth, with the floor as the
first stop.
The Doctor Says
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
Millions of dollars are spent
every year for remedies aimed
at curing or warding off that mis
erable affliction known as the com
mon cold. Nose drODS. vitftminc.
Land drugs of many varieties are
purcnasco by the thousands, and
nearly every one of us had a fav
orite cure.
The fact that so many remedies
are on the market . is the best
reason to say that nothing is
much good in warding off or curing
this vicious ailment.
The time may come when
something better will be avil
able. but the fact that nearly every
year some new wonder cure Is
announced indicates that we should
view new remedies with skeptl
clsm. Docs this mean that nothing at
all can be done about the com
mon cold? In this matter we are
our brother's keeper. Most colds
develop after contact with some
one who already has one.
The most important safety
measure is to avoid exposure to
those who already have colds,
especially when a cold Is Just
starting.
ruoiic places, streetcars and
moving-picture theaters, almost
always have one or two people In
Ihem who are coming down with
or recovering from a cold. If we
kept out of these places when colds
were frequent there would almost
certainly be fewer attacks. But
the person who has a cold could
help most by not exposing others
needlessly.
Although most colds seem to be
definitely spread by contact, a word
must be said about the tradilional
risk of catching cold following
chilling, drafts, or wet feet. Prob-
aoiy cnniing alone does not produce
a cold. But If some people get wet
feet or sit In a draft they are much
more likely lo come down with a
cold. Probably the reason is some
temporary drop in resistance.
If a cold does start the sarct
thing to do Is to ao to bed at
once and stay there until the symp-
wuia are gone.

oner of war Irom Korea" who was
"forced to woi'it hi the salt mines '
by the brutal Reus. And especially
beware II he says he is a patient ui
a Veterans Hospital "on leave lo
earn money lor nis family by bell
ing magazine suoscriptions."
The latest edition of tnis racket
has made its appearance in the
Northwest, when a sympatiietic
housewife north of Seattle listened
lo one of the magazine salesmen
recount tales ol horror as a FOW,
then bought several magazines she
neither wanted nor needed.
The housewife's curiosity got the
better of her so she asked the
repatriated POW", who obviously
was severely crippled, how he got
far from tne VA Hospital.
He glibly replied "they put 30 ol
us in an ambulance and hauleu
us out here so we can make money
lor our ' families." So her check
was forthcoming: she got a receipt
Irom the POW on tne lonn
of a well known circulation sales
organization, and the "POW was
on his way.
Still curious as to why the VA
would not care for a disabled vet
eran's family through compensa
tion, Mrs. Housewife telephoned
the VA Hospital to protest what
she thought was "shoddy treat
ment ol a war veteran."
She quickly leanred that she was
the victim of a fanciful story: that
her POW never had been a patient
in the VA Hospital, and most likely
wasn't even a repatriated POW.
Her first step after phoing the
hospital was to call the police and
lodge a complaint, then to call
her bank and stop the check.
VA emphasizes that if anyone
alleges thev are "veterans on leave
Irom a hospital, In order to make
some money," he should be asked
tor identification. If he can't pro
duce either a Service discharge or
other evidence supporting his
claims, then the police, the
sheriff or Ihe Better Business
Bureau hould be notified.
.VA emphasized that the recog
nized Veterans organizations may
also be contacted for Information
about their members and their fund
campaigns.

Theft Leads To

prison terms here Friday.
George R. Barber, 44, of Port

previous felony convictions, includ
ing one which resulted in a 15-year
sentence in the Washington State j
Penitentiary, was given 25 yours.
John Daugherty, 42, of San Pran-
Cisco, and George Schneider, 28. 1
of Seattle, each were given three
years. 1
They blew a &afo, which was

the same day the men were ar-(
resiea.
The United States government is
bound to be pleased at the recent
sweeping victory of 46-year-old Ra
mon Magsaysay in the Philippine
presidential election.
Despite Quirino's charges of
"American interference" in the
election, this country did nothing
official to affect the campaign. Nev
ertheless. Us tacit support was with,
the winner.
Magsaysay's smashing triumph
certainly must be regarded at least
partly as a tribute to him as a na
tional hero. It was he who, as head
of national defense under Quirino,
successfully crushed the Commq-
ist-inspired Huic reoeis wno naa
so Ions troubled the islands.
Because of this alone, his victory
was widely lorecast. How much
this verdict stands also as a re
buke to Quirino is something to be
settled only by the searching scru
tiny of the voting results which will
come with time.
Magsaysay charged throughout
bis campaign that Quirino's regime
was shot through with graft and
corruption, that high officials and
their relatives had lined their pock
ets well during his tenure in office.
He declared also that Quirino had
besn lax In pushing for new
schools, roads, agricultural and
other reforms.
The president denied corruption
and cited a number of industrial
and public project.-:, admittedly
helped by American aid, as proof
his regime was progressive.
Possibly the voters were In
fluenced by two special factors af
fecting Querino. One was his
health and age. He is 63, and so
ailing ho had a doctor and nurse
in tow at all times during the cam
paign.
The other is the fact that un
der the Philippine constitution, he
could have served '.tly two more
years, since he has already served
eight and there is a 10-year limit,
His vice presidential running mate
would have succeeded him after
two veers.
U.S. otficlal presumably feel that
Magsaysay, with his powerful hold
on the people, will assure the
Philippines of a more stable gov
ernment in the years ahead. His
record almost guarantees he will
be a stout foe of communism, a
vital requirement in the vulner
able Orient.
All aside from the outcome,
this election must be viewed as
heartening to the entire free world.
It was a demonstration of r-Ml
democracy at work in the Fur
East, a quarter of the globe sorely
in need of such a practical display
of the meaning of freedom.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo., tfl
Carl Austin Hall and Mrs. Bonnie
Heady today were held in death
row behind the gray, forbidding
walls 01 tne Missouri penitentiary.
The condemned kldnap-killors of
little Bobby Oreenlease were
brought here late yesterday from
Kansas Clly where they were sen
tenced to death Thursday. The 150
mlle trip was mnde by automobile.
The prisoners, in separate cars,
were chained and under heavy
guard.
They will die together in the gas
chamber Dec. 18. 1
Immediately following their ar
rival at the prison they were
"dressed In." The process, which
required almost an hour, Included
the recording of weight, height and
identifying marks. - Photographs
and fingerprints were taken. Each
was given the usual disinfectant
bath. ' , .
While they were being finger
printed, officials said Mrs. Heady
remarked to Hall, "this Is almost
like old homecoming."
Hall, who was released from the
prison last April after serving a
year and three months for robbery,
aia not answer.
Officers said he remarked: "Lot?
of people are in here because o!
liquor. They usually learn too
late."
The pair was issued regulation
prison clothing and placed in cells
in death row. Officials said they
will not be allowed outside their
cells, except for baths, until their
execution.
Attorneys for both have said'
they do not plan an appeal. The
death sentence was Imposed by
U. S. District Judge Albert L.
Reeves after a three-day advisory
trial. '
The Oreenlease child, the 6-year-old
son of a multi-millionaire Kan
sas City automobile dealer, was
abducted from his private school
Sept. 28. He was slain the same
day.
Hall and Mrs. Heady were ar
rested in St. Louis Oct. 6 and
pleaded guilty at their arraign-
ment. Nov. 3. . The sole Job of the
jury in the advisory proceeding
was to determine; whether the
couple should pay the supreme
