A member of President Hoover's law enforcement com mission was roundly criticized for saying something about constitutional, rights. Doesn't he know that constitutional rights are dead letters? From all reports the meeting of sheepmen, bankers and politicians held at Union last night was a grand success. Among important actions was one sponsored by Irvin Hess, president of the Union commercial club, to bring the 1931 convention of the Oregon Wool Growers association to La Grande. PROGRESS Disasters and disorders, wars and crimes, movie weddings and screen divorces comprise an important part of the day's news from the standpoint of reader interest. But there is other news that is important. More than interesting was the news of Philadelphia's achievement in lowering its diphtheria death rate in 1929 to a 'point below that ever before recorded" for an, American city. The city got through the year with fewer cases and fewer deaths-r-and not by accident. Largely responsible for the striking reduction in the num.. ber of cases of diphtheria was improved preventive methods, especially the Schick test, which identifies those who are susceptible to the disease, and immunization steps. Reduc tion in mortality was made possible by improved methods of treatment and universal use of antitoxin. The virtual conquest of diphtheria, an exceptionally viru lent disease, is one of the outstanding triumphs of medical science and public sanitation. But a few years ago it was dreaded as a plague during its recurrent epidemics. Today no one fears diphtheria until stricken with it. Physicians, hospitals and public health agencies in every community in the United States are challenged by the Phila delphia record for 1929 to better it in 1930. FRANCE OUT OF STEP Rattling the saber even a tin saber is tho best means the politicians ever devised for keeping the boobs in line. When a government talksin time of peace of trouble with foreign neighbors, it is having trouble at homo. War scares, competitive armaments, perils from races of another color are all inventions of political organizations already on the skids or anxious to be on the throne. Rulers since the beginning of government of man have known that the best preventive and cure for domestic strife is waging war or preparing to wage war against some hated, feared or envied foreign country. All this was remembered by all the world when the reign ing regime in Paris scared the national assembly of France into adopting an extravagant program of arming against tho seen and unseen enemies of France. Only a shaky national administration could brazenly espouse such a program on the very eve of an international conference for limitation of arias. The Tardieu government knows the French peopl.-, their emotionalism, their militarism, their loyalty to and idolatry of the military traditions of Napoleon and other war heroes of their country. So it proceeds to make itself solid with the voters by waving the bloody rag and rattling the saber. Such is politics in a pinch. Hjclianan. and thr nnnw of Mrx !
