He's I SUBSIDIES AN .EDITORIAL. A LOCAL policcmun recently gave us a very strnlion of a weapon carried by nearly all 1 wenpon carried officers and known as the "iron claw." It is a device having two curved prongs which fit around the wrist, together with a bar handle, which adjusts the claws for size of opening and at the same time provides a grip by which the "persuader" can be operated. As long as the victim does no pain. On the other hand, if he attempts to resist the pres sure can be increased enough to break a bone. The iron .claw is not as conspicuous as handcuffs but it is very efficient in making a prisoner tractable. The New Deal administration is using a political "iron claw" upon the American people today in the form of its subsidies program. The program is not as conspicuous as the ration and price ceiling handcuffs, but it serves most effectively in forcing the people in the direction in which the administration demands we must go. 'It doesn't hurt as long as we go peaceably, but, once adjust ed, a little twist of the wrist can bring agonizing results. The administration has badly muddled the milk situation, until the entire nation is fncing a milk famine. Milk is one of the most essential of human foods. If the administration, as has been charged, is deliberately creating chaos in food production and distribution for the purpose of regimentation, dairying would be the most logical place to strike. It is now being announced that the dairy industry is to be aided by means of subsidies. But the subsidies are not to be placed on MILK. Instsad, they will be placed on FEED. It was the failure to control the price of feed that created havoc with the milk supply. Feed prices were permittd to soar, while milk prices were frozen. It obviously is not possible for a pro ducer to pay more for feed without getting more money for : k:. .,!. ...i P.., -..,..,! f l..A it,.,... I, ..l,;,l, ,k an State Board of Agriculture. One of the duties of the Milk Con trol Board is "to supervise and regulate the milk industry of the state." ., t-iit; : ; , . . i ' .- . ' . We 'believe it is time to find out whether a fedoral bureau operating under executive decree can completely brush aside a boar, du, iluthorized b thc . . , , , . UIUC lu miu uui wiiciiici aline iiiiia, na ji uv. .tin ucu nn. in stitution of the United States, are to be deleted by executive whimsy. It is our opinion the Oregon Slate Department of Agricul ture, acting in its capacity as a Milk Control Board, should pro ceed to make a thorough investigation and determine what should be the fair and equitable return to the producer- and distributor and should, upon its basis of findings, issue neces sary orders to "supervise and regulate." Court injunctions should then be filed to prevent interference by thc OPA. We might get licked in the courts. We possibly would get a violent twist of the "iron claw." But at lenst we would get a look at the officer's credentials and would have the satisfaction of knowing we had a try at self telling his Chinese followers that while they haven't had much help from us so far, they'll get MOKE now that the Mediterran ean shipping route is open. ,N the home front, which for most of us is the bond front, you may be asking this question: "Why should I buy bonds until it hurts?" T HIS is answer No. 1: Because It Is your DUTY. This is YOUR country. II Is YOUIt Job to save' II. Wars have to be financed. Just as they have to be FOUGHT. Those who go lo the front must do the fighting. Those who stay al home must do the financ ing. ANSWER No. 2: Buying bunds is the BES T THING YOU CAN DO FOR Y O U U S EJ. F. When you buy bonds, you're saving up money NOW. when (here Isn't much to spend it tor anyway, so you will have il alter die war when there w ill be PLENTY lo spend it for. Buying bunds is both patriotic and SMART. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting System 1490 Kilocycles. REMAINING HOURS TODAY 4 00 Fulton Lewis. Jr., Plough Chemical Co. Swing Snugs.

DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS Sir Edward Grey, watching a lamplighter at work on a London street just as the World war I was beginning, said: The lamps are going out all over Europe, and we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime. What would he say of this World war II. The lamp of love has gone out and the darkness of hate has taken its place. The light of broth erhood has disappeared and the shadow of self-interest has crossed the threshold of the world. Today after we had thought that the flickering flame on the deserted altar of love had been fanned into a living flame, we once more face a world of complete Black out. Social dreams are shat tered and we find ourselves citizens of a tragic world. But St. John says in his gospel that the light never goes out. Ulti mately the light of God is greater than the darkness. For God's light is born of faith. It is an inner light which the darkness of the - world cannot extinguish. The darkest hour ever known was when the Christ died upon the cross, yet that dark hour is the center of spiritual light for the ages. It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. "Light after darkness, gain af ter loss, strength after weak ness, crown after cross." Amen. t promise new !Mu$tm LETTERS to the Editor INTEMPERANCE BRANDED WORSE KILLER THAN WAR SUTHERLIN, Ore., Sept. 11. Edltor Roseburg NewsRevlew- I read with Interest your editorial on "Trying to End Wars." In one . paragraph you said "It won't take i much more global war to destroy ; civilization. The only true guide book to righteousness and peace informs us that mankind nre destroyed because of a lack of godly knowl edge, temperance and brotherly kindness. (See Hosea 4:6 and 2 Peter 1:5-8. Proverbs 11:34 says: "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any peo ple." Intemperance itself is one of America's great sins which is de stroying more of her people than is war. One of America's great clergy men and editors of last century, T. DeWitt Talmage, writing of our great democratic editor, Hor ace Greely, said "Horace Gree ley was the champion of temper ance in this country. His pen wrote more and effected more than that of any other man. You remember how he spoke to young men on this subject. He was a hater of all intoxicating drinks, from thc rye whiskey that pitches the sot into the ditch, up to the wine glass that makes a fool of the fine lady in the parlor. He hnd seen so much devastation of drunkenness amidst the. brethren of his own occupation, he had heard the snapping of the heart strings of widowhood and orphan age, robbed by the fiend that squats in the wine-cask 'and sweats in thc brewery, . the smoke of its torment ascending up forever and forever.

President The friendly Southern Ncif'u '?r Anit'ticcTi Victory kcopen bn:r.- when told that Horace Greeley was dead." Of the important position of editors, Talmage said, in part, further: "Oh, ii there is any man svho need to be a Christian, it is an editor! ... I congratulate you, nrr.cpprmen, on the splen dor of your opportunity; but I charge you before God, who will judge the quick and the dead, that you be careful to use your influence in the right direction." The two leading enemies to the people of a country of boasted freedom and liberty now are the alcoholic liquor traffic and the cigarette menace. S. H.
