A Public Man and His Investments SENATOR BORAH was quick on the trigger, aa usual, . with an interview regarding the Morgan testimony about favors to politicians. Concerning the secretary of the treasury he observed that that official like Caesars wife, should be above suspicion. That is' an old adage, grown venerable with frequent use. Some day we are going to look . "the.matter up and get the low down on Livia. We are sure there must be memoirs of some maid$ in waiting which would strip her of such well-advertised virtue. Senator Borah, however, is not quite accurate in his parallel ; for it seems that a public official is constantly under suspicion, instead of above it. A man has to have the hide of a rhinoceros if he ventures into public life to the extent of holding public office. For what actual sins he may have committed will be multiplied tremendously by rumor and fabrication. , The question arises as to just how a man in public life may make investments, for it is the popular custom to as sume that a man is the creature of his financial interests, and that he warps his official policy by his private interest. In some ways there is a strange inconsistency. If a man is a farmer and is elected to a legislature he is just naturally ex , pected to represent agriculture. If Portland sends a repre sentative of a labor union to the legislature he is promptly set down as actually a delegate for organized labor and ex pected to voice the interests of labor unions. But if a busi ness man goes to the legislature and is caught with one share , of stock in a big corporation, even though it represents but a fraction of his investments, he is ordered shot at sunrise, a3 though he were a criminal conspirator. The secretary of agriculture is praised for being a farm owner, not forced to divest himself of ownership. With the growth of corporate as against individual own ership of properties, diffusion of ownership is widespread. There is hardly an individual above the poverty level who is not directly or indirectly investing in so-called big business. He may be merely the holder of an insurance policy, or he may be a shareholder in General Motors; but he does have some interest in corporate enterprise. If then we are to ex clude all who are Investors in legitimate enterprises we would 1 bar the most thrifty and the most successful of our citizens s from participation in public life. While we do not defend the dispensing of largesses by the house of Morgan to public officials, nevertheless we are not in accord with the harpies who drive without discrimin ation individuals who enjoyed those favors. Take the case of Secretary Woodin whose name the Oregonian says is on the roll of dishonor. Woodin was a prominent man in the industrial world ; he was not a politician, and had taken only an ordinary citizen's interest in politics. When he made in vestments now complained of it was before he had the re motest thought of ever becommg secretary of the treasury. Woodin seems to us to be quite a weak sister, but we are not in sympathy with the partisans who demand a pound of his flesh because he took advantage of an opportunity to turn a pretty penny a good many years ago. It is also true that the shares mentioned in the Morgan deals were highly volatile; and some burned their fingers with losses instead of gains. Conversely then they should be hostile to Morgan for letting them in for a scald. . Tf i. aWirrt fn flunk vrMi tun divorce business and poli tics. The socialists may well be laughing up their sleeves at -this fresh discomfiture of capitalists and politicians. So long as wealth is continued in corporate form with shares widely distributed, the masses are going to be shareholders and thus have interests in business. Even if a man isn't a shareholder he may be a debtor and subject to pressure from his creditors. ' That happens here in Salem where office -holders have been known to about face when the screws were put on. Politics is made up of pressures of one kind and another, and always will be, and so long as there are oppor tunities for gain by political contrivance men will resort to it. The test after all is not what a man invests in but how faithfully he serves the public interest in offices which he assumes. Some of the most faithless public servants are the poor dependents who cringe to hold their jobs. Some of the best are those who may have means but subordinate private interest to public welfare. In a sense editors are office holders charged with a pub lie responsibility. There is no rule, but we believe that all high-minded editors when they make investment, scrupulous ly keep .out of fields where their independence of judgment might be called into question. Many public officials sever connections with private business not so much to avoid temp tation as because they fear political mud-slinging. When you get down to the core of the matter does not this question arise: Can the private profit system survive under the newer code of socialized ethics? Take the sins of . the utilities ond the unloading of watered stocks, are they not part of the pattern of all business motivated by acquisi tive instincts? Will it be possible to engraft, as we now seem to be attempting, the sense of social obligation on the taproot - of private greed? We are not answering these questions, but they stand in the very center of current issues.

United States eooator from Now York Former Commitsioner of Health, New York Cttty m ACT man today I reoeired two unusual letters. On letter requested InfonnaUoB about typhus fever. Th other was a report of recent work on this disease conducted by th United 8tata pubU health service and th Mexican govern ment. Announce, ment was mad of th discovery of a serum which protects against a certain form of typhus fever. This is of spe cial Interest to th Inhabitants ot Mexico and the citizens of Dr. Copeland th southern Btates. In tola territory typhus fever Is stm prevalent. This la one ot the most deadly dis eases known to mankind. It is al ways associated with filth and un hygienlo surronndlngs. It was espe cially prevalent when little was known about aanltaUoa and wretched living conditicma war common. Ofte Confuted With TyphoU Typhus fever Is often confused with typhoid fever. But the dlaoasa are quit different and rum different course. Typhus fever 1 carried by a germ found tn rata. It is carried from on rat to another by rat Ho and fleas. It I transmitted t hu mans by fleas. Typhoid fever la caused by germ called th "bacillus typhyoras". This is found la contaminated food, milk and water supplies. Like typhus fever, th disease at one time was prevalent throughout th world. For tunately, w have a vaccine called th typhoid vaccine which prevent the disease. Dae to proper super vision of food, water and milk and the use of typhoid vaccine, the dis ease is now rarely encountered. For many years experimental re search has endeavored to discover a vaccine tor typhus fever similar to the vaccine successfully vised against typhoid fever. It is hoped that the announcement of th new typhus fever vaccine wQl aid la the eradi cation of this disease. Oeaalineee EssatUl Of course typhus fever can be pre vented by Improvement In social con ditions and the destruction ot dark, crowded tenements and unsanitary homes. Like many other dines sea, th prevention of typhus fever la largely a matter of personal cle&nH nesa.v it tor this reason that th disease has greatly decreased as civi lization and education have spread over th face of th earth. Let us hop for th continued suc cess of those scientists who daily labor in their efforts to make this world a cleaner and safer place m which' to itv.

"I'm so desperately afraid in lose you" He stopped suddenly. Someone was coming. Joan scuttled for th hoi in the hedge, like a big blue gingham rab bit, but before sh ran sh put her two hands on his shoulders for a fraction of a second, and kissed hint swiftly "Goodbye I" she whispered.

In th small pink-papered room over the kitchen, Heeley slept in a sagging weary heap, th covers pulled over her neuralgic head. In the big- front bedroom facing the hedg, Aunt Babe lay with all the windows dosed. Through the crack in the adjoining door came the sound of Ewie's snores heavy regular untiring. Only Joan was wakeful. Still wearing the faded gingham sh had worn all day, with Babe's pink shawl about her shoulders, she knelt in the window waiting for Bill. It waa stm early half aa hour before he would com. Th night was vary quiet, quiet and peaceiaL and somehow sad. "It ia because I am going away," aha thought. Down on th lawn.
