IT. would be hard for anyone to
deny that in voting on the
measures on the ballot at Tues
day's election the people of Ore
Ron followed convictions based
upon intelligent stuy. The results
hear out that impression over
whelmingly. 'TTAKR, for example, the mens
nre proposing to relieve bank
directors of double liability. It
was supported by nearly all the
newspapers In the state, including
this one, and was backed up by
the argument that since deposits
up to 15,000 are guaranteed It Is
no longer necessary.
nut the voters quite obviously
said to themselves that every pos
sible safeguard should be thrown
around money deposited in banks
for safe keeping. So they voted
to retain the double liability
amendment to the Oregon consti
tution. Who is willing to arise In public
and disagree with the fundamental
soundness of that conclusion? -
AS anolher example, consider
the anti-gam bling measures,
which carried in every county by
about the same relative vote:
Peoplo must have reasoned
thus: "Gambling tends to linpov
Irish the masses of the people,
and Is therefore economically un
sound. Besides, commercialized
gambling tends to become corrupt.
So, if. people want to gamble, let
them bet on football games, or on
tomorrow's weather or get into a
friendly poker game. Let's keep
commercialized gambling out or
this state." - -

Once Innocent Spreader of
Epidemics Victim of
Paralysis at 70.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. (AP)
"Typhoid Mary" Mallon; a pleasant-faced
Irish cook whose plump
body once was a breeding place of
death for scores, is dead a 70.
The nation's most famous "med
ical prisoner" died yesterday on
North Brother island, where a
quarter century she had been Iso
lated by health authorities as an
innocent "carrier" of typhoid fev
er germs.
Ironically, it was paralysis and
old age not the billions of dis
ease bacciii which made her a liv
ing test tube for deaththat kill
ed her. She was immune nnd
never contracted the ailment she
was believed to have spread un
wittingly, to hundreds.
Mary's story goes back to a ser
ies of fatal typhoid epidemics in
wealthy Westchester and Dong
Island neighborhoods at the start
of the century.
Repeated examinations of food
and water failed to disclose the
source of contagion. Then Dr.
George A. Soper, sanitary en
gineer, discovered that a cook a
good cook, her employers always
added named Mary Mallon had
served in many or the afflicted
homes, and that the disease fol
lowed but never preceded her. Un
knowing that she herself was the
agent of disaster, she fled to a
new job as soon as signs of the
disease appeared in a house
hold. The frightened cook was exam
ined in 1907 by health authorities
who round her robust body teem

to purchase peanuts which she
salted and the retailed for ten
cents a bag.

Ansel Dumond, the pastor said,
had bought a dollar's worth of
Hrusscl sprouts sold them In a
house to house canvass, and the
repeated the process by re-investing
the profits.

fcU he hud received offers from
peoplo in widely scattered sec-
Hons of the nation, all anxious to
aid the church.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 2 (AP
CIO Chairman John L. Lewis told
a press conference today lust Tues

for a house cleaning in some quar

closer cooperation among liberal
forces.
"Labor of Itself," the CIO chief
tain said, "cannot sustain the pres

that organization or Its representa
tives in office Is such as not to
warrant the confidence of the elec

" Asked what ho considered . the
long range effects of the November
election. Lewis said:
"I think the liberal element of
the democratic party, labor and
other progressives have a definite
incentive to cooperate."
Labor, he said, must have an in

"The great majority are over
