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

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

,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.

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.

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. I think
that all thc gin bottles in thc

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
