The Journal Gnaws a Bone THE Oregon Journal has a newKsjnthetic bone to gnaw and it proceeds to take a chew daily with its usual dis regard for the facts. After two years when Central Public Service securities were being marketed under its own eyes and through ads in its own columns, The Journal has sudden-, ly wakened that the entire deal was a bad one. " . Having given a liberal testing to public attitude and found $9,000,000 worth of disgruntled "security holders" , can't be wrong, The Journal proceeds promptly and unequi vocally to assign the blame tq President Hoover. The reas , oning is characteristically devious. Declares the Journal: Hoover names the power commission, the federal power commission did nothing to stop the issuance of C. P. S. se . curities, presto, Mr. Hoover is to blame for the C. P. S. racket. i Now the Journal utterly fails to mention that the Cen tral Public Service corporation was a holding company and at no time had any federal power commission licenses. Neith er did its subsidiary, the Pacific Northwest Public Service company, when the present securities were exchanged with C P. S. At no time and under no president, has congress ever entrusted the federal power commission to regulate issuance of securities when no federal licenses were held. The Journal might just as logically criticize Mr. Hoover for not stopping Ghandi's fast or not keeping Mr. Smith off the radio. f While the Journal is on its characteristic tack of throwing stones at glasshouses not owned by the opposi tion, one wonders why it stays so silent on the Kreuger, and the Ohrstrom deals which have rocked the financial world. These securities were largely marketed through New York banks and the New York stock exchange, both of which are in Candidate Roosevelt's bailiwick and under his supervi sion? Why no word of 'censure, why no request for investi gation there? ; : . Danger in the Bonding Permit rpHE Portland city council, made haste to expunge the 1 JL streetcar franchise proposition from the already print ed ballot. State Commissioner Charles M. Thomas exposed some of the bad provisions of this franchise and the city council promptly dropped it like a hot potato, on the rather thin excuse that something was wrong with the title. I 'Portland's street car matters are of scant concern to the state at large; but the state' should know that the. people who helped prepare the franchise which would have bound Portland citizens in a leaden grip for many years were Car ey and Harlan. At a big sum of money, was it $25000 or $50,000? this firm was engaged to investigate the street car business in Portland. They did so: and this "service-at- costfj franchise was the fruit of their labor. Later they ac cepted a $10,000 supplemental fee for "breaking down" the valuations, a service which Commissioner Thomas says could have been rendered by his department for $300: : The significant thing to the people of Oregon is that be . hind this water power bill which is on the ballot this year A stand figures like Carey and Harlan. Remember the water power amendment would allow the issuance of $65,500,000 in ' bonds on all the property of the state without any further jrote'of the people. The time might easily come when some legislature under paralysis of fear like the last one, would authorize bonds in large amount, all to be handled by an elected board of three persons. ;If Carey and Harlan could put over their services on the people of Portland until they extracted from that city over $100,000 in fees in a few years time, what could they not do with a $65,500,000 not In sight?

The country as a whole is re- ? ceiving a fresh presentation of "Smilin Thru in the person of Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratic candidate for president. For. Frank is "smilin through" in this campaign. He is en deavoring to smile his way into the presidency. .iNo, it is not the infectious,-"animal'' smile of the im mortal T. R. It is a placid smile. It is the "candidate-for-of Ike smile. It is not the cynical smile of an experienced pol itician. It is the babe-m-the-woods" smile of innocence. .. So, ist.the question of the bonus, when reporters keep asking him about it? Why, parry the queries with a smile. Is it some sharp thrust from a speaker on the other side? No answer but a smile. vv : The presidency is something-graver than mirth. The man sitting in the president's chair with weighty problems before him, dare not decide them merely by placid smiles. Hungrycr greedy men must be met with a face she-win strength. T. Rs once beaming visage could quickly change expression: to a lierceness akin to a steel trap. "F.

J. HENDRICKS One Arm Brown again: SUrt ef the Modoc war: V (Continulns from yesterday:) As Capt O. C Applegate is now 87 years ef age, he must hare been born while the' three origin al brothers and their families were In the Applegate settlement in Polk county, near the present Ellendale, and Ivan D. must hare been bora In Missouri and brought as a child across the plains. V S That being the fact, Capt. O. C. Applegate must be one of the old est native born citizens of Oregon. If not the oldest. He is hale and hearty, has a. wonderful memory, writes a good and firm hand, uses correct English and is a scholarly gentleman. He hi one of the leading citizens "of Klamath Falls, and Is Implicitly trusts! bj the Indians of whatever tribe In that section, and Is constantly ap pealed to by them in their various affairs. 1 "Lish" Applegate, referred to by Capt. O. C In the part of his letter appearing in this c61umn on 8onday, was another brother. He was E. I (Ellsha, Lindsay), once surveyor general of Oregon, and. In the sixties and wentles on of the ablest and most picturesque orators of the state, and a leader in political affairs. Ha died Dee. 1. 1IS6. - S T. B.

NOT eel const! knc are I wrote abont constipation and pointed eat that sedentary habits, im proper diet and personal careless ness are the chief eanses ef faulty elimination in adults. Today I want to speak about constipation ta tn- fancy. 'This condition In infancy Is dif ferent from that found in adult life, and must be dealt with in a differ ent manner. Constipation may afiict an infant at birth-, or it may derelop very soon afterbirth. Too often the cause is not determined, and the mother re sorts to enemas or laxatives. Sack treatments give temporary relief, bat later the condition returns. To overcome constipation In an infant it in imvortant to discover the cause. , In many cases It is due v Auiyvyv AWUUS, V1 (irulS eeasive quantities of milk, or what the doctors call a "high protein' diet, will cause constipation. Dstermina the Cause Another cause often overlooked is the inability of the infant to use the abdominal muscles in the man ner necessary for proper elimina tion. This is due to general muscu lar weakness, and wben this Is cor rected, normal elimination is re stored. - ' - -' Many Infants instinctively avoid elimination because of pam that may be due to a tiny fissure or ulcer. In other cases constipation in in fants is due to a constitutional dis order called hypothyroidism.. In this condition there is a lack of se cretion from the thyroid gisuaa. Often eonsttoatiom, lo causea i ma intestinal ahnorinality wi' which th child is bens, and suirry Is the only method of rare. The cause mast hm determined kw a thorough physical examination af the infant, and where necessary, X-ray pictures f taw leTintaea skoals be taken. laawei taeee of Diet Diet la extremely fanortanak, II should include stewed fruits, task as applesauce, prunes and apricots, several times a day, and vegetables should be given once er twice daily. Coarse cereals, such .as whole wheat, oatmeal or hominy, to which a small amount ox bran anal Mntor are added, may be beneficial, bat if any irritation follows their use they should be omitted. The daily amount of milk should be diminished, and malt soup extract may be added to ttemUk. Never give castor oS cathartics unless ther scribed by a physician. It is safe. however, to give mineral oS, which is not a drug. It merely lubricates the lining of the intestine. .: To stimulate the muscles ef the abdomen massage the baby's abdo men with olive oil after his bath. This may be vary helpful. Please bear .in-mind that per sistent constipation in an infant re quires proper medical attention. Enemas and homo remedies only provide temporary relief They do not cure. , , . newspaper writer.
