A horseshoe once brought good luck. Now it takes luck
to find a horseshoe.
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.
