O COUNTT ever had a more
efficient sheriff than Tom

to him, and all laws so far
as he is concerned are on the stat

kind of a sheriff is not: wanted.
why not abolish the office and

his up-to-date dental offices in Port
land, where I found on personal inves
titration are engaged 88 people, includ
ing expert dental operators, trained
nurses and other attendants, and all
operating under up-to-date, sanitary
methods that are not excelled in any
other city in the United States. Btich
an establishment. aTrlctly up-to-date.
tog-einer with methods that eliminated
pain jn tne wpfic, naturally would not
be welcomed iy the dental fraternity
already established. Would it not ap
pear that the state dental board mirht
be influenced to deny Dr. Parker a 11-
eense not because he was not oomne-
tent. but to protect what haa come to
he known as the denial trust? All this
talk of the dental combine about the
attempt to lower the standard of den
tistry" in Oregon Is pure buncomb.

Forest Grove, Or.,, Oct. ,80. To the
i,aiwr w xne journaa wisn to can
attention or the voters to measure
352-3 on the official ballot. "The Bight
to Work," or "Department of Industry
and. Publio Works," for the relief of
tne unemployed.
In the agitation of the various meas
ures and candidates, this measure
seems to be lost and we will have it
borne in upon us in a very short 'time
when the cold and lack of food drive
the many hundreds now out of work
clamoring to tha eity for relief. .
Depressed business conditions point
to a harder winter than last, and we
know there era thousands out of work
now all over the country. Chicago
alone, quoting from an authority on
economie conditions, reports lQO.ooo
unemployed and that there are from
25 to SO per cent fewer at work this
year than last.
Tha Associated Chanties of New
Tork reported for tho month of Au
gust more demands than ever before
known for the time of year. So what
does this lead us to expect from the
coming winter, and what are wo going
to do to meet tnarsituauon?
Measure 853 (seeks to remedy this
condition by establishing publio works,
Let us do our mtie part in supporting
it by voting 352 lx: Yes. In this Way
we may aav' ourselves thev distress
of mind attendant upon the marching
armies of last winter and that thought
that we haven t even the Gipsy smith
tabernacle to shelter them now. -

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.

Mr. Cotton Asks for Information,
Nehalem. Or., Oct. 3 1. 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.

NATIONAL BANKS IN TIMES OF CRISIS
By John M. Oskison.
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. Na
tional banks exist only Docause .tney

to do so In times like this the public
should know. . They are possible only

Officers and stockholders of national
banks are charged with tha duty of
keeping their banks sound that lav of
seeing that their loana are good. The
government has laid down rules as to
the amount of reserves required to
keep the banks sound so long as the
