Portland. Nov. 2. To the Editor of The Journal- I am not a dentist, nor the son of a' dentist, and have rib par. tlcular interest in the profession, but I have noted th unfair treatment hand ed out to "Painless" Parker by the den tal combine and their hand-picked stats dental board. , " -rv-- -.:.V - There appears to be no question that there was collusion on the part of the state dental examining board and the more prominent ; "ethical dentists' of Portland, to "km off" ": "Painless' Parker, who had tha temerity to eome to Portland and the northwest .with his up-to-date dental establishment.:. No one doubts that Dr. Parker is himself one of tha most scientific and skillful den tists in the United Btatea. Tha idea of being refused a permit to 'practice in : Oregon cannot, bo otherwise Hhan a "fraud," No one doubts Dr. Parker's superior knowledge aa . a dentist, yet the dental board refuses him a license, while all the dentists associated In bis Portland .office -had no difficulty in securing a state license, Refusing Dr. Parker a license could: have had no other purpose than to prevent tha suc cessful .Installation and operation of of the state. We are always willing i November t. and ready to support every, good causa and movement which will make our state a , better place to live ln. We pride ourselves on being as lawabid lng and aa Qod fearing as any na tionality in this great state .of ours. We are aa loyal to the stars and stripes as any foreign people possibly ean be, and if tha hour of rrsat need should come, when man would be called to serve their country, you would find ua Qermana responding moat loyally. irurtnermore, you find us serving our state in every official capacity. and many eastern states have Germans for their governors. Several presidents of the United States we know by his tory have had German -blood in their veins. , - And now let us discuss this Prohi bition question, which we must pasa upon next Tuesday. There is not an other constitutional amendment among those 29 which are up to the voters to decide, which haa agitated the minds of us Germans here ln Oregon as much as the state-wide prohibition question. One of our main reasons for opposing it is that prohibition has been a most dismal failure wherever It has been tried. Many of us here have eome from a prohibition state. X was In Kansas 20 years under a pro hibition law, and heaven forbid that Oregon should be disgraced aa Kan sas has been. Closo the open saloon, and blind tigers will take their places. Oregon can't possibly be an exception to the general rule. Another " reason why we object te prohibition is because we have in our state 1400 hop producers, who should receive utmost consideration. -. We have never asked for "special privileges, and we don't ask for any now; but we do ask, and believe that We should be permitted, to use our personal liberty. To our prohibition friends we appeal most kindly, with out the least malice in our heart. We are more willing to even pity than censure them, because we know they are laboring, under a very grave mls apprehensionr Every hopgrower in Oregon appeals to the, prohibition friends to give him some consideration. But if you still persist in voting to make Oregon dry, you will have driven a thorn deep into the flesh of every hopgrower and German friend and neighbor you may have, and we fear that the great wrong you will do will be very hard to atone for.

On the eve of election X would like to have the prohobltioolsts tell us what they ex pect to do ror, Oregon with the law they are asking us to - adopt. . We know of the farce' made of ' the most springent prohibitory laws ever writ ten, in Maine aad Kansas. Now let them tell us what they are going to do for us with this, the weakest pro hibitory law ever, placed before voters, I thought the campaign was against liquor and drunkenness. But now the prohibitory managers tell us we ean have 11 tho liquor we want in our homes and get drunk as of ten aa' nos- sible, if we will only help them take the sign down from the front of th saloon. X thought they . . wanted to purify the homo and protect the boys and girls. Now they want. to poke it still further under tneir noses. Albany Democrat: There should be no uncertainty about tha contest for governor. There: ls no good reason why any progressive Republican should support Dr. Withycombe and no good reason rhy any progres sive Democrat should oppose Dr. Smith. The progressives of both fiartiea object to the reactionary dees expressed by the Republican nominee for governor. They have noth ing in common with the political ma- I chine which ls supporting his candi dacy. They resent tne iaea ox a can didate becoming a rubber stamp for the Morning Oragonian. They regret that a man of more sense, better judg ment and more progressive ideas was not nominated at the recent primary election. Ashland Tidings: The overshadow ing issue ln tho state campaign is not whether Dr. Withycombe or Dr. Smith "be elected governor. Their candidacy is but an incident. But, the big issue is whether the people shall continue te rule or the state settle back into the hands of the old political machine. Withycombe la running ror the ma china. .;.

With such a man as chief executive of Oregon tha business of the office will be administered with an earnest desire to render the people efficient service and to protect them from the raids of ringsters and tax eaters.

As secretary of -the treasury Mr. McAdoo wanted to know the other day why certain national banks were hoard ing currency, restricting loans, and, in some eases making new loans at exorbitant rates. As an individual in- terested in getting the country back on a normal credit basis he demanded also to be told why, in the money markets of" this country, the state of Tennessee was unable to borrow, at a reasonable rate. H.400.00S to meet maturing obligations. Mr. McAdoo is a member, by reason of his official position, of tho federal reserve board. As a member of that board he Is naturally intent upon se curing the cooperation of the coun try's banks with the government in tho reestablishment of credit. In making his purposes and com plaints public Mr. McAdoo has estab lished an excellent precedent.
