J BROWN, EDITOR A DESERTER : If there is anything true beyond the possibility of a doubt it is that Dr. Withycombe was nominated at the primaries by the votes of the prohibition element of the Republican party. The meager vole received by the other dry candidates on the ticket proves this incontestably. What shall Ave think then of this Withycombe trying to deny those who made him politically? Could anyone blame those who voted for him in May if they Should give their votes to another in November ? Several attempts have been made to smoke the doctor out of his political stump but all have failed.

Fain is a symp tom, and usually one of the most pro nounced symptoms of disease. When one is suffering physical agonies he wants something to relieve him and he wants it quick. Allopathic medi cine undertakes to do this, and, con sequently it is to the allopath the suf ferer goes. Of course there is amp le room for educating the people as to the best means of taking care of their health, but it will take a very long time to educate them so that they will not seek the shortest pos sible way to relief from physical pain. Naturopathy certainly has its vir tues but it just as certainly cannot be considered a panacea for all human ills. Allopathy, surgery, osteopathy, and even Christian Science and its kindred have their sphere of useful ness in relieving human suffering. The best way is to use common sense and choose the most efficient "cure" for the particular ailment we hap pen to have. rinany ur. Turner says "it is a question of bread with many of them (the medicos) and they resort to any thing to get the dollar." We doubt the logic of this state ment. ' It is not bread they desire so much, but wealth. There are few doctors who do not make enough to support themselves and their fami lies in comfort and happiness; but few are satisfied with this measure of success they hunerer for the rich es and power of the financial king. It is on this account that the best medical or surgical service is reserved for the rich; and it seems to the writer that the doctors of all schools have degraded the noblest of the pro fessions by making it a means to wring wealth from the most miser able, helpless and pitiable of all liv ing creatures the physically deform ed and afflicted.

The law is aimed at the rich man to compel him to beur a just share of the burden of taxation and it is for this reason that the aristocratic crowd for whom the Oregonian is spokesman are raising such a row about it. The rich man in Oregon as every where else, blocks every move of the poor man toward independence. There is only so much wealth available anyway and the rich fellow under stands perfectly that the more ab sorbed by the poor people the less there will be for him. The rich man simply votes thumbs down for the poor fellow and selfishly refuses to 'give him a chance for life, "But." says the Journal "How much better it would be for all the millionaires if all the humble people had little homes painted white, with a patch of grass in the yard andl dooks on the shelf m the living room the fair. THE BEST CURE Dr. Osier, the man who startled the world some time ago by stating half seriously that old people should be chloroformed, has been doing the groundhog stunt again and has come out of his hole to see if the sun of publicity is still shining. But this time he has given us something a trifle more sensible. In speaking of tuberculosis Dr. Osier says he believes there are three distinct stages of tubercular develop ment: in some individuals the di sease is in a very quiescent state and may never seriously affect their gen eral health; in another the disease is active enough to produce symptoms, but still the patient may recover; in the third class the disease has become far advanced and there can be lit tle or no hope for recovery. but what concerns people most is how they shall manage to avoid tak ing this dread disease themselves, and also how they may help humanity to blot it out, so far as possible. Now men have probably suffered from the ravages of tuberculosis since they were in their monkey-hood that is to say since they gave up living in trees like monkeys, and betook themselves to the strenuous task of getting civ-j ilized f or it is his living unnaturally I with carpet on the floor and some, that has made man the victim of the kind of musical instrument for the terrible white plague to so large an laiuuy, warn woman in uay attire pvrnnr In ,nji.: r 4t,; r n Drcsidinir ovpr thn hnnhaiH j extent, in speaking of this Dr. Os- with rhildrfln in rnswf shiwa onA Am. , IcT Says: fortable clothing playing about the ' "Tuberculosis has been traced to its door or trudging off to school. i vry stronghold which is defended by "The Journal is for the $1500 ex- three powerful allies, poverty, bad emption because it will encourage the housing and drink.

Dr. Turner says that medical science" is "guesswork." But are the medical doctors any worse off in this respect than the doctors of other schools? The guesswork is very largely in diagnosis. Very few of those who treat the sick are will ing or learned enough to take the minute pains necessary for a proper understanding of the nature of a serious disorder and this, to a very large extent is cause for their fail ures. Given a thorough understand ing of the physical condition of a pa tient and the primary causes for that condition, the practitioner should know whether any treatment he Is able to give will cure or not. And the villiany of the doctor is manifest when he treats a patient, NOT IN THE HOPE OF CURING HIM, but for the purpose of extracting a FEE, and it is our own opinion that any one guilty of such practice should be held criminally accountable for it. Unquestionably there are both honest and dishonest doctors in pol itics; but the real usefulness of the doctor lies outside of the political field, and when an M. D. is seen seek ing office the general inference may be taken that there is an axe to grind. But of course it must be kept in mind that this is not a rule without i its exceptions. At a recent congress of medical i doctors it was planned to urge the1 passage of laws which would make it j compulsory for every one of our j 100,000,000 inhabitants to submit to a physical examination at least oncel a year which would make a very soft thing for the profession indeed; j for it is pretty safe to predict that! they would find something seriously! wrong with every one they examined something requiring a prescription at least i Dr. Turner says that medical FACTS AND COMMENT In speaking of the candidacy of Dr. Withycombe, the Oregon Mes senger says that his -jsv. v "weakness, if it cannot be called a stronger word, lies in the fact that he doesn't seem to know just where he stands ir. regard to issues which onfront tho people of Oreeron at this time." His isolation of twenty years in an agricultural college has caused him to lose the beat of the public pulse and he flounders when asked pertinent questions. "We have already heard complaints irom ur. w ltnycombe's own party be cause he is not a native of the United State3." The Messenger thinks that being born in England is not a fault for which Dr. Withycombe can be held accountable. "But one weakness or misfortune, wnatever it is. we notice, with which the Doctor is afflicted, is his desire to 'stand in' and please all fac tions, interests and elements. He makes a speech in a church at Ore gon City where he appeals to the re ligious passions and prejudices of his hearers. He speaks at a banquet in a Portland hotel and declares himself in favor of an ante-primary assembly to name candidates for state offices. Again he was approached by a Sa lem hop man who asked him how he stood on the question of prohibition. But he did not answer the question." Referring again to Dr. Withy- combe's Oregon City talk the Mes senger quotes the following unfortu nate utterance of the Republican can didate upon that memorable occas ion; which the Messenger thinks suf ficient proof that Withycombe is out of touch with Oregon thought and sentiment: "'A great mistake was made in years past by shutting out Chinese labor which had begun to clear up the land in the Wil lamette Valley. Agitators from San Francisco came up, and as sisted by demagogues in Port land, carried the people of Ore gon off their feet and caused the Chinese to be driven out. Our people did not have the courage of their true convictions and made a great blunder thru being swayed by the faddist and led by mob rule.'" "And this is the man who asks the people of Oregon to elect him Gov ernor. A man without a policy. A Stephens Eye Salve Is a heallnfj nlntmont for Sore Eves, V -ANoRECOMrlENDEaBS'E Jones Drug Co., Oregon City. man who would be all things or any thingto please. Away with him! He is off the 'key.' His 'policy' be longs to a past age. He is out of harmony with modern conditions." But the "most unkindest cut of all" in the doctor's speech followed the above quoted paragraph when he said that the uncultivated lands of. Oregon must be developed by cheap labor "in spite of the protests of the rabble." It was an unfortunate phrase, for "the rabble (those who desire to exclude cheap alien labor, probably) have votes which are po tent to elect or defeat, as Withy combe will probably realize after the ballots are counted in November.
