The Statesman has spoken out rather emphatically in this Campaign and has endorsed many candidates' for par , ticular off ices. This has been done chiefly out of a sense of public duty, and in no degree to put over any ticket, we note a good many papers have professed themselves "neu . trar, especially those in one paper towns. The Oregon City .Enterprise remarked thus: - i 1 i "Somewhat In the' same category with mud-slingers are those very few newspapers which attempt to dictate the choice of primary candidates for the electorate in other words to mark thi voter's ballot. It is proper that a newspaper honestly dis ease the merits of candidates as you would discuss them with yonr neighbor. But what right has any newspaper to bluntly tell: you for whom to vote or not to 'vote to tell you in front of which particular names to put the little crosses any more than has your neighbor that self-appointed right? To do so is in the nature of an Insult to the intelligence of the people." We hope the recommendations made by this newspaper have not been 'an insult to the intelligence of the people." As a matter of fact thousandof the voters were quite ig norant about many of the candidates. As ve conceive it, it is the duty of a newspaperito give what enlightenment it can, about candidates for office. A newspaper is a continu ing institution and has facilities for acquiring information not open to the general public. So it is entirely proper, in our opinion, or a paper to get in and express itself.; Our rec ommendations have been made with a minimum of pre judice and a maximum of desire to procure for the people the best government possible. -At any rate, today is the day. Polls are open from eight in the morning till eight at night. Returns will be received at this office starting immediately after eight tonight. .Spe cial telephone service ;will be provided. Call 9101 for infor mation on the election results. And well see you all next November. - 1 Leaning on Federal Government OUR. mayor and county judge wired Sen. Steiwer that un lefs conditions, improved federal money would be need ed here this winter. These men, particularly the county judge, are more closely in touch with needs than we are; but we are nbt ready to" concede that Salem and Marion county have reached the extremity of their resources. On the contrary in this fertile spot where food is produced so abundantly and fuel is plentiful our people ought to be able to take care of their i own destitute. Surely they can if during the summer supplies are mobilized for winter distribution. w wall ton that the countv court had at the first of last January some $600,000 tucked away in its road funds and at the same time pleaded for a large road tax for this year on the ground it would be needed for relief Work. Some ; of this fund has been spent to retire bonds not due and other sums will go into road work this summer. Even so, . there! should remain a sizable sum for furnishing some em ployment this winter. . . r Without minimizing the need which will exist we are moreS favorable to organizing for self-help than to succumb to "leaning on' the everlasting, arm" of the federal govern ment! which with deficits mounting by hundreds of millions is by! no means "everlasting". -,.- . .

D. 1TTE Dr.Cepelaad occasionally hear a mother say that her child has a "murmur' or "leak" of tha .heart She restrains tha youngster from indulging in stren uous and excit ing play and tha child grows up believing ho is as invalid for the rest of his life. This is an unrTortunate state of affairs. A murmur is in abnormal hea,rt sound. There are two types of- mur murs One is spoxen of as a "functional murmur,and this Is rarely a sign of any serious- .trouble with the heart, while an "organic murmur" is. heard in a diseased heart, dam aged by some infection.. V : Functional murmurs are common among children. Eight to ten per cent ef an children have murmurs at some time, or another. Very often a functional murmur may be present for a time and aa the child rows older the murmur disappears Aa -orsanio murmur la usually the result, of aa Infectious disease la childhood. Acute rheumatic fever is -the most common cause of this dis turbance, wane pneumonia, scarlet fever, diphtheria or other Infectious diseases may Involve the heart and ' tauae an organic murmur. ' . When thia complication occurs during or immediately after aa Illness-complete rest in bed and re triction of exercise are Imperative. Restrictions can be removed when It , to determined that the heart la rune UoniB properly and that no slims or acute Infection are present. This can only be decided by the physlclaa. Too often children with functional nurmurs are made to suffer men. tally and physically. If you nave been told that your child has a mur v mur. Inquire as to whether it is fjranie or functional. If it la a funo tnal murmur there ta no need for alarm. Kvea if K Is erganio tt may not be serious, .. The child should not be maao to uxxer hy restricting his play and exercise. Bear in mind-that aa invalid ef a child can cause more harm than the disease itself. Many indrridnals with functional murmur a as watt as organic murmurs, have carried oa long; ton and active Uvea. If you are ta doubt as to how much exercise and activity year child should be permitted, consult with your physlclaa.'

All tha town and countryside turned out yesterday afternoon to attend the funeral of Turner's Iesdlng citlsen, Cornelia Ann Da vis, who died on Tuesday. The beautiful Christian church, which she built and gave to the com- mnnlty, was filled. She was born Cornelia Ann Turfier, and she was tha last of tha family that loomed large In the affairs of that section of Mar ion county for 80 years. She would have coma to her 94th year had she lived until De cember 5. Readers will recall that this column, commencing April 5, had in six Issues the history of that family. Characteristic of her unselfish life, she gave privately, but asked that it not ba publish- ea. me asy of the month of her birth, because she did not wish to hara her friends burden them selves with birthday gifts.

She worked and planned to her last breath for further usefulness; for additional deeda of' benevolence and helpfulness. A good woman has gone.
