Welcome Rain. rVJCGLAS county folks have not been clapping hands and shout lug enthusiasm about million dol lar rain as Is done lu some sec tions of this fair country of ours when a welcome ruin falls. Never theless, the rainfall this spring in this county has been ot great value to most crops and lo grazing lands. The city folks do not like it and the HporlKiuen moan that the high water has spoiled a lot of good fishing but the fanners uie smiling broadly. The good done by abundant ruin in a farming area like ours Is hard to realize but it is always evident in no uncertain way wlfu harvest time comes aiound. This will be u good crop year in Douglas county. Editoi als on News (Continue, (rout page 1.) Addia Ababa now to hiibMitule, thai Is, the ltl I.K OK LAW lor thu ' rule of tho strong light aim.

I had huurd some of them speak at our Towusend clubs, and oh. boy! bow they wero for the Mc- Oroarty bill. They could repeal tho Towusend pledge and salute the flag to perfection. Rut, ut that meeting they left their Towusend aspirations ut homo on a shelf be hind tho door. If wo think they fool us old Townseiidltes they have another guess coming. I was requested hy our presi dent to utteud that political meet ing and jot down the names of thoso candidates w ho come out tran kly for thu Tow iiseud plan. Rut, alas, my pencil was not used, for they said nothing else that was worth messing up my paper with. Mr. Kilitor. if those politicians think wo will forget that, stunt when wu get to the ballot box, ue wilt show them (hat you ciiu lead a horse to water, hut you cannot uiuke him drink. Democracy! Say, that is what they don't know iho first letter ol. For, it they had tho Towusend plan at heart, then they would have democracy lu their speeches. No difference w here they weie speaking, and Home of (hose candi dates claim It. would he a burden to the old (oiks to give them $'J0 per month lo spend. Oh, yes, but give t lint candidate $2ii" a mouth and see how much it would burd en him. Mr. Kdltor, please print this let ter. Yours lor the O. A. II. P. MRS. OI.IVK McKKK. Sectetaiy. Yoncalla, ore.

(AP) Three priests, two of them instructors at the I diversity of Portland, suffered serious injuries today when their automobile skid ding on a wet highway, plunged over a steep bank and shot down ward loo feet before being stop ped by a oak tree. Tho injured: Father R. V. Keenan, pastor of Holy Cross parish, St. Johns, head cuts, right unkle probably frac tured. Father Micnael .Mu lea ire, head of the department of economics, 1'niversity of Portland, head cuts, left leg seriously cm. Father John Tiernaii, instructor in sociology and economics, 1' Di versity of 'Portland, head cuts, right hip probably dislocated, A police report caid ii was necessary to obtain lhe assistance of three tow cars and firemen be foro the men could be extricated from the automobile, w huh was wrecked. The report related thut Adam ltoile. Portland, sitting in a park ed automobile near the scene of the accident, not far from the uni versity, saw an automobile pass at a "high rate" of sjired. A few mo ments later In, heard a muflb-d noise, and proceeded down I he highway, discovering the wreck. Police were summoned ami found t he automobile wedged against the tree in such fashion that the occupants could not be tin mediaiely taken out without dang er of the machine crushing the let of one. Tow cat s succeeded in raising the automobile so the priests could be freed. The report said that Father Keenan was di iv ing the machine and that the priests wero en route to Salem, w here they were lo make an inspection of the slate penitentiary. MORE CARS THAN BATH TUBS I In the I'ulted States there are more aninmolnles than haih tubs. There ate si persons for even bath tub. and only 5.7 persons for ev ei v automobile. It is true tha' motor imi s on! t un lc bat h t litis bv but ;i nil' row imumn, but thu mar tin is last increasing in favor of the cars.

One Word Led To Another Bugs Baer It's An Intricate Game. A polo player Is a man who has to have his family portrait painted by Itosa Ronheur. Rosa was a gal who painted hosses from the group up. That's the way the king used to ride them when he was a prince. Polo clubs aro very exclusive. F.ven the ponies must be endorsed by three members in good stand ing und one at the bar. In order to be a polo player you must have a string of emp ty hosses. Each hoss fs worth five thousand dollars in reli able borrowed money. The game consists of one hoss bumping into another hoss, like the Santa Anita handicap. The reason Top Row won that race is because he is an old polo pony. The white ball in polo Is there merely as a bait. They hope lite players will slap at It instead of smacking each other. The outstanding feature of polo, which has been called hoss billiards, is the intelli gence of the ponies. They could piny the entire game themselves. But they must have riders to sign the checks and pay the bills. We aro sending u team to Ku rope this summer lo play the best on I fit over there. It makes no dif ference to us if the best out lit is in South America, We are going to Kurope. Ability to play polo will en able you to crash society and marry the richest heiress. There is something romantic about a hero wearing a white lampshade on his head and swinging a mallet made for far-sighted carpenters. When you walk into the main salon, they whisper, "He's a ten-goal man." Nobody knows what a ten-goal man Is. The nearest explanation is, he is an intrepid explorer of other people's buffets. He is an indomitable char octtr with four wealthy grand parents and the ability to fall on his head without mussing his hair. Nothing dismays him. When a rich relative croaks and leaves him twenty million dollars he wipes away a fur- tive tear and, in a voice chok ed with dividends, says, "Carry on." lie cay be either Knslish or i American, must speak two lau iMinges iluenily and one freuuent ly. He must be n pond dancer and look well in spats and tails. After all. hIo is pla oil In tho after noou i and the nighfs are long. Mr. ami Mrs. K. K. MiKalt. of I'auu--.

Y.) said today that Senator leiwer of Oregon, the republican national convention keynoter, had "gratuit ously Insulted the intelligence" of the people of Queens in a speech at Jamaica Saturduy night. Htufwer delivered a broadside at tack on the new deal at a meeting of the Queens County Republican club of New York. lu a prepared statement, Rarry said Steiwer "was not aware" that Now York relief administrators. whom he criticized, were republi cans. The New Yorker also said the republican leader attacked the new deul legislation for which be had voted. "His talk," Barry said, "was a perfect sample of what the Ameri can people may be expected lo hear from a republican mouthpiece during lhe coming campaign. He attacked iu generalities almost everything the new deul stood for and the legislation It has spon sored. "He urged a balanced budget und lower taxes, but neglected to tell the people how this could be accomplished without letting mil lions starve." U. S. POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS , By BYRON PK1CB (Chief of Bureau, The Associat ed Press, Washington.) The tactical policy of tho demo cratic high command obvious ly is to refrain, for the present, from exploding any bombshells. Mr. Roosevelt's recent speeches before party rallies In Baltimore and New York surprised many list eners, who had expected him to open the campaign with some, spec tacular pronouncement. Musi of the administration spell binders temporarily have retired from speechmaking entirely, und thu publicity output from national party headquarters Is noticeably smaller than formerly. Kven the much-advertised ad dress of Secretary Roper before the chamber o commerce of the I'niled States, expected by some to embody at least a hint of re newed industrial regulation by the government, turned out to be largely a treatise advising busi ness how it might help itself. On the Industrial question, Sec retary Perkins gave political cir cles a tip when she told a Chicago interviewer that Washington pro posed to wait until the first of next year before deciding whether to propose anything new with re spect to unemployment and re lief. Some politicians believe the president' may speak out more vig orously on some issues in his ac ceptance speech after the Phila delphia convention, but meantime comparative polit ical quiet seems iu store on the Potomuc. An Old Practice While all of this may uppear odd for an administration which has produced so many political sur prises, it Is quite in accord with the orthodox practices of former campaign years. Whenever a president is running for reelection, the normal thing is for ti't opposition to shoot off most of ine pre-convention fireworks. The purty in power usually knows who Us nominee will be, what its platform will Kay, who will run the campaign. The party out of power usually is divided, squabbling over, all of these ques tions. The ins therefore prefer to remain quiet, letting the country concentrate its attention on the troubles of the outs. That is what the president's managers are doing now. The louder the debate becomes among the republicans, the more tlio democrats seem disposed to sur render the whole stako to them. The argument is that if the var ious republican factions are not stirred up from outside, and not forced to divert some of their fire, they will he likely to- bombard one another more vigorously und do greater damage within their own puny. This may or may not be sound reasoning, but it goes a long way toward accounting for the appar ent democratic backwardness in getting Mr. Roosevelt's reelection campaign iu to high gear. Democrats Getting Ready The lack of explosions over head, however, should not bo taken to mean that the democratic organization Is idle. The work of tuning up for the coming test is proceeding quietly but on an extensive scale. Demo cratic headquarters in Washington has taken on new personnel, and added new floor space. It is a busy spot from morning to night. Out in the states intensive in side work is well under way. Riv alries among local party leaders are being handled with as little fuss as possible, but with consid erable firmness. Because their party organization is a going concert, under known national leadership, the democrats hope to get a long head start in tliis sort of preparation while the republicans are arguing. Mrs. J. K. Falbe CanOidate (or County School Superintendent 2b Years Experience In Douglas Count School, One Purpose: To Conduct an Efficient. Economical Office. Serving the' Beat Educational Interests or the County l Fa. J I'jlitaal adv.) That is one of the advantages a party In power always has. Of course it may or may not be a suf- fifi mlvflniiEH to turn - the scales, but it undoubtedly helps. LOCAL SCHOOLS TO E FOR Cll Tomorrow is circus day in Hose burg! Pink lemonade, balloons, bauds, und all the color of the great American circus will be the special event for Thursday, when the Barnes circus visits the city. W. M. Campbell, city school sup erintendent, announced today that alt city schools will be closed for the entire afternoon to permit stu dents to attend. Several rural schools, it is re ported, have made arrangements to bring youngsters in Roseburg in school buses. One principal writes that no child Iu his smull school has ever seen a circus and he is bringing all of the youngsters to the show. Radio listeners will hear two fine features Thursday. From 12:3d to 12:45 p. m. one of the curcus clowns and the midget troupe will put on a special act at the KRNH studio. From 3:45 to 4:00" p. m., radio listeners will hear Bert "Suicide" Nelson, noted animal trainer that is if he gets out of the lion cage all right. He contemplates his per formance in the cuge at .3:15 p. m. und fs to return immediately to the KRNR studio where be will tell some of his experiences In handling wild animals. Mr. Nelson was the author of a number of must Interesting articles regarding animal training publish ed in the Saturday Evening Post. Many Douglas county boys and girls are to see the circus as guests of tbo Roseburg News-Re view. The ofter made by the News Review for a free circus ticket for each child securing a three months' subscription, either new or renew ul, has had a very enthusiastic re sponse and will account for a large section of the juvenile audience at tomorrow s performance. FATHER, SON SENT TO JAIL FOR SPREE Fines of 510 each wore imposed in the city court here late yester day on A. R. and Dee Green, father und son, who entered pleas of guilty to charges of drunkenness. They were unable to pay the fines and were committed to the city jail. The 1936 Studcbakcrs are "easy to look at" because of their graceful lines. They look youth ful and responsive and they are! That's why they're "easy to drive." On hills they stop and restart without rolling back an inch. That is because of the automatic Hill Holder, exclusive with Studcbaker. Over 40 miles per hour they fairly glide, because of the overdrive. The motor works 2 miles to speed the car J miles. Before you buy a car at any price you owe it to yourself to drive a 1936 Studcbaker. iludtbaktr'i Krw t Plan Ogirt UMPQUA A. E. Elliott, Prop.
