ROSSBURG, OREGON, SATURDAY. APRIL 13. 1929.
"I'M THE CONSTITUTION"
THE senate of Louisiana hns impeached the governor of
the state, Huey P. Long, on a long and rather stunning
catalogue of charges. Those w ho initiated the movement for
impeachment were not disinterested. They are representa
tives of the oil industry, enraged because the governor had
forced through an occupation tax on the refining of oil. But
the governor had laid himself wide open. There was plenty
of material to work on.
A recent characteristic incident gives a fair view of
Governor Long's outlook on his official position. A state
senator at a committee meeting became enraged at the gov
ernor's interference with legislation and threw a copy of the
constitution at the executive's head. "Maybe you've heard
of this book!" he yelled. The governor looked at the title
and threw the book aside, saying: "I'm the constitution just
now." Caesar could have said no more, nor Kaiser Wilhelm
in the days of his glory nor Mussolini. But it seems to have
been typical of Long.
Nineteen charges have been brought against the gover
nor as the basis for the impeachment. Among them are
"crimes, misdemeanors, incompetency, corruption, favori
tism, oppression in office and gross misconduct." Perhaps
the most serious specification is one that the governor sought i
to bribe a plugugly to murder a state representative who op
posed his course, promising money and immunity from i
punishment.
Whatever may be the truth concerning the charges of
criminality against the governor the records show that he
has been carrying a political dictatorship with a high hand.
In eight months of office he completely subjugated the
Highway commission, the Board of Health, the Orleans
Parish Levee board, the Board of Liquidation, the Board of
Education and the administration of the two great charity
hospitals of the state. From each and every one of these
boards he has ruthlessly turned out all who opposed his will
in anything. The record shows a long list of incidents il
lustrative of his interference with independence of action
by any of them. He seems to have a more completely puppet
government that Italy has.
; One night last February Covernor Long in direct vio
lation of constitutional inhibition, ordered out sta(,e militiamen-
to raid restaurants where he thought there was gamb
ling. No gambling was found but a large number of men
and women who were dining and dancing wore arrested in
the places. Then the governor ordered that all those ar
rested bo stripped and searched. The order was carried out,
in a few cases forcibly. When newspapers denounced him
for his flagrant exhibition of autocracy the governor's an
swer was "We'll do worse."
.' "L' etat e'est moi," said Louis XIV. "I'm the con
stitution," said the governor of Louisiana. Louis' assumption
that he was the state, followed to its logical conclusion by
those who came after him, carried Louis XVI to the guillo
tine. Governor Long's .similar delusion of grandeur seems to
be bringing retribution loss tardy and not so vicarious.

The fertilization of soil for to
matoes iu Oregon some times pre
sents a problem to the gardener.
While a good foliage growth fa
necessary for a full crop of fruit,
there is a possibility of the plants
making too great - a growth of
leaves and stems at the expense
of the fruit. Fresh manure is not
good, as any fertilizer for toma
toes is heat well rotted, fine and
thoroughly mixed with
milk and used instead of fresh
for apple Charlotte; or used
making meat pies, balls, or
kled over cauiiiiower.
Wilted vegetables may be fresh
ened by soaking ihem a short lime
before U3ing in cold water, con
taining a little salt.
Candy pans are better greased
with butler, because some of the
grease from the pan will stick to
i tie candy and wilt be tasted first
when the candy Is eaten.
Two or three ounces of balanced or
complete commercial fertilizer !s
often used in growing tomatoes,
being applied at the time the plant
is set in the garden, says the ex

A study of vegetable varieties
used in Oregon indicates that the
standard varieties are preferred,
and with few exceptions, the num

selected by the gardener is small,

suggested list can be ohtained by

ROSEBURG, April 13. Editor .
News-Keview. Aa a reader of the
News-Review, I have enjoyed much
that you have written in your daily
column. In the issue of April l'jih,
however, your comment upon ci
garettes disgusts me. Is the merit
of a newspaper to be Judged mere
ly by the amount of advertising it
promotes? And is business to be
judged merely by the volume of
sates or of piOfitB? ghall no re
gard be given to the value of the
community advertised ? A: e the
baker and the cigarette manufac
turer equals, viewed from the
standpoint of public benefactors?
Shalt we forget all that we learned
in school about the evil effects of
cigarettes? Should not a real
newspaper be more ashamed of
having advertised and promoted
the sale of cigarettes to our hoys
and girls than in boasting about
how they have helped boost the
cigarette industry? I believe in ad
vertising and have used your puoa
to advantage. I can easily under
stand why the cigarette people use
newspapers to promote their busi
ness. I do not understand how a
newspaper can use its pages to ad
vertise something Injurious to the
health of our youth and then de
clare itself the champion of the
people. You may use this in your
columns If you like.
Yours truly
FOSTER BUTNER.
(Los Angeles Herald)
"From various parts of the coun
try for the last few years there
have come reports that the wi.d .
turkey, almost extiuct except in
thickly wooded mountainous and
inaccessible regions, is becoming
more numerous, and is even ven
turing nearer the settlements than
has been its habit.
At one time U inhabited almost
all parts of the United Stales and
southern Canada, as well as the
greater part of Mexico. ' In fact,
in Jefferson s time, little more than
a century ago, a wi.d turkey cou.d
be bought on the streets of the na
tional capital for five cents- To
day a wild turkey for sale at any
price in Washington would cause
a stampede ol woulu-oe purcuas
ers. The wild turkey is even larger
than our domesticated variety, the
latter being derived from tne
Mexican variety. In habits -the
wild birds are much the same as
our barnyard fowls, however, ex
cept that they are stronger of wing,
being able to attain a speed in
f.ight of more than a mile a min
ute, according to close, observers.
The sight and hearing of wild tur
keys are so keen that they cannot
be stalked by man successfully,
but must be sought by the hunter
while lying in wait for his quarry's
appearance.
The -apparent comeback of the
wild turkey, after being almost ex
tinct, is the cause of much inter
est on the part of nature lovers.
"Nor is the mere killing of him,"
says Archibald Rutledge. "the only
sport that his return affords. His
presence once more in our forests
will invest them with the spirit of
the primeval wildness that no man
wis es this county ever wholly to
lote."

HEARING A SERMON TWELVE THOUSAND !

The Associated Press of PiltsLmrrt, Pennsylvania, slates
that an Eastern sermon was broadcast from the Shadysidc Pres
byterian church by the- Rev. Hugh Thompson Kerr, and Easier
music was broadcast by the choir; all of which was plainly heard
in Antarctica by Commander Byrd and his party, and re
sponded to by him.
Twelve thousand miles in yonder jd"om
And yet within the preaching room
Of this tjoud Doctor Thompson Kerr!
Ah, under what tremendous spur
He must have sent his message rare
Half round the woild through God's fice air
To souls awaiting evciy woid.
And (hanking Cod fur what ihey heard 1
Down in that land of ice and snow,
With nothing else but radio
To link them with the C'luistian woild
By song and speech thuin;h ether hurled
How they did haik with bated breath
To Easter triumph over death I
How sweet the message sounded there
Which they with those at home could share!
There were no careless listcnrrs in ;
They sought his eveiv woid to wm;
Imagination caught the hue
Of him who spoke these wuuls of race.
Gave vision ot that distant choir
Whose sinking soothed their heart's desiie.
And so that quirt Pittsburgh room
Illumed that fat Antarctic i;loom.
Yet each true sermon that we hear
Comes from another hemisphere.
Brings us a message from the skies
Beyond the reach of- human ryes.

Ami Ilozekiah BVnl to all Israel and Jmluh, and wrote letters also

Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the pussover unlo the Lord God of s'-iel.
For tho kiiiK hail- taken counsel, and his princes, and all the con

For thev could not keep it at that time, Localise the priests had not
sanctified themselves sulriciently, -neither had the people gathelctl
themselves toRether to Jerusalem.
And the thlnir pleased the kins and all the congregation. ,
So Ihey established a decree to make proclamation throughout all -Israel
Horn lleersheha even to Dan, that they should come to keep the
pasiover unlo the Lord Clo.l of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not
done It ot a long time in such sort as it was written. ,,.,,
So the posts went with the letters Horn the king and his princes
throughout all Israel and Judah. and according to the commandment
of the king, saving, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the Lord t.od
of Abraham. Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of
you that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
And be not ye like your fathers and like your brethren, which tres
