; I Accident Cases
TTOSPITALS all over the countrv are in financial distress.
JCX The only ones surviving are those supported by taxation
or sustained by church gratuities; ' Yet people complain of
the size of hospital bills. The per diem bills for rooms, nura-
! inir. etc become staecennsr if one is confined in an institu
ion for several weeks. With doctor bills and medicine bills
m addition to hospital charges, one can afford only one first-
class operation in a lifetime.
- ; Probably the principal reason why hospitals have to
charge so much and also why they are in financial distress is
because they have to care for so many charity cases. This
burden is growing with the increase in the number of auto
mobile accidents. A collision occurs, and soon you hear the
screech of the siren of the ambulance taking the victims,
where? To the hospital of course. Badly broken up or
slightly bruised they are bundled into a hospital bed and
given the immediate care which the individual case may re
quire.
The hospital management cannot demand cash in ad
vance when the victim is unconscious, perhaps his name not
even known-. Even after the first shock the patients cannot
be turned out if it is found they cannot meet the bills. If
there is insurance, hospital fees may be met from this. But
all too often the victim gets no insurance money. So the
bills pile up. The Salem general hospital for example had
one case where the hospital charge was $900, no portion of
which will it receive.
The city or county will not meet these charges, because
the taxing unit will not assume liability except where the
proper official ordered commitment to a hospital. The coun
ty will allow a moderate sum for burial of a dead person ; but
has no funds to save lives in case of sudden accident.
Here is surely a field where society will have to assume
the burdens in some way. It is not fair to the hospital to
have to carry this load. It is not fair to paying patients,
most of whom are in moderate circumstances to have to pay
a great deal more to absorb this charity load. Either through
taxation or through general voluntary contributions money
ought to be provided to take care of this class of hospital
casesJ Society cannot just shrug its shoulders and let the
victims lie in the street, or let the hospital go begging for its
fair compensation. .
Lumber Orders
THE northwest is highly pleased with the increase of
orders on file for lumber. So fast have calls for lumber
come in that mills are reopening or lengthening their runs.
The West Coast lumbermen's association points out, however,
that the renewed demand is largely for restoring stocks in
retail yards. So much were these stocks depleted that re
tailers would be quite unable to fill orders of any volume or
variety. So the call on the mills is natural at this time of
year. There is also the incentive of possible higher prices.
Construction work however continues at very low ebb.
April was better than March in building permits, but at that
it was only one-half of the volume a year ago. As 1932 was
a desperately poor year, it is apparent that there must be
very marked improvement in construction work to enable
our western mills to run at anywhere near normal capacity.
There is a vab&um in building which if stimulated could
keep our mills busy a long time. It is not in the cities where
vacant apartment houses and empty store buildings and f ac-
tories still testify to the excesses of the late speculative era
! in construction. It is on the farms of the great middle west
( where mighty little construction or reconstruction has taken
i place since the war. The farm is the great consumer of lum
ber; and thousands of farm structures need replacement. The
northwest has a vital stake in the rebuilding of farm pros
perity all over the northern half of this country. For with
it will come steady orders for our lumber, which is still the
backbone of our prospenty.
Sen. Bone calls in J. P. Morgan to accept a lower rate of interest
on the $240,000,000 in government bonds which his banking house
holds. We are not at all surprised by Mr. Bone's demands. The
gorernment having repudiated the gold clause of its solemn contract
may now proceed to scale down the interest or the principal. It is
the age ot default and repudiation; and once the breach is made the
descent Is very easy. Already we hear of proposals to violate the
tax-free provision ot some of the government bonds. The paper has
no Interest in Morgan or what happens to him; but we have always
had the idea that a contract was a contract, and repudiation was a
: moral lapse whether committed by a state or an individual. Who
wUl come forward to buy the bUlions of government bonds if the
foundations of public credit are thus being sapped?

An attempt to legalize repudiation is being made by Pres. Roose
velt. He is asking congress to make silver and paper legal for the
payment of obligations which are pledged payable in gold. Expedi
ency Is the excuse for this dishonor or solemn obligations. Senator
Glass declared the measure would be held unconstitutional "if there
is any integrity left in the courts with regard to the sanctity of con
tracts." In a ease like this the courts are impotent. If they hold
the suspension of gold payments unconstitutional they are powerless
to entorco their edict when the executive arm sequesters all the gold
and defaults on the government's agreements. The United States
should hold its peace hereafter with reference to defaults on war
debts and Russia's confiscation of property.

A RECENT report ot the depart
ment of health. New York City,
shows an Increase In the total num
ber of deaths from dlabes daring
1111 This report is similar to those
relating to other
parts of the
country. A care
ful study of
available statis
tics shows an In
crease rather
than a decrease
in the number
ot cases ot dia
betes. Many explana
tions have been
offered for this
Increase. Un
doubtedly It ia
founded on many
factors. I believe
that in many in
stances the fault lies In the common
belief that diabetes is not a serious
disease and that It can be easily
cured wltb Insulin.
- May I warn all my readers agulnst
this misbelief. There is no medicine
known to medical science that will
cure diabetes. Insulin only controls
the disease.
Another common pitfall Is that
many diabetics are careless about
their eating. Tbey assume that since
they are taking insulin they can eat
foods that would otherwise be pro
hibited from the diet This is dan
gerous and too often leads to serious
complications.
Follow Instructions
I cannot over-emphasize the im
portance of accepting diabetes as a
serious menace to health, and hap
piness. Only when the disorder Is
recognized as a serious one and the
proper diet and precautions are
taken, will the number ot deaths
due to diabetes decrease. Bear m
mind that when diabetes Is properly
treated, the afflicted individual may
continue with bis daily work and live
te a hearty and enjoyable old age.
To all sufferers from diabetes I
would first advise that they carefully
follow the Instructions given to them
by their physicians,
Avoid any tendency towards con-
stlpatlon. Dally bathing, frequent
cleansing of the teeth and washing
of the hands, and avoiding colds, infections-
and bofia, are imperative.
It you are tired and do not feel
well can your physician. Do not de
lay. A good plan, while waiting for
him. is to go to bed, keep warm, take
Ian enema and drink plenty of water.
This mayf fevent aa attack of coma
so dangerous to the diabetic
Never miss a meal while you are
taking insulin. This may lead te
Insulin "shock". Pallor, nervousness,
hunger, sweats and trembling are
early signs ot insulin "shock". If
these signs are present get in touch
with your physician immediately. In
the mean tine, take some carbohy
drate food, such as sugar, orange
juice or corn syrup.

Diary of a seaman who
was with Capt. Wilkes
In Oregon Country, 1841:
(Continuing from yesterday:)
Under the heading, "Reflections,'
the lines which Joseph G. Clark,
author of the old book, wrote in
memory ot Midshipman Wilkes
Henry follow, without quotation
marks:
He went to the home where his
kind mother dwelt.
To tell her the squadron was
ready to sail,
And merry the heart of the young
sailor felt,
For bright was the morning and
fair was the gale.
In vain were her efforts her tears
to restrain.
By reciting the hopes that in
spired him with Joy,
For she secretly felt O how keen
was the pain
That this was the Isst she would
see of her boy.
The hand of his mother he grasp
ed in his own.
And bade her farewell as he rose
to depart;
She could breathe no response, for
to her 'twas the tone
Of the death-knell of all that was
dear to her heart.
He hastened aboard and the an
chors were "home;"
The wide canvas spread, his ship
started from shore.
But ahl who can tell ot the evil
to come
He had left her Indeed to behold
her no more!
To the isle of Malolo, the lonely
abode
Ot a cannibal king and his mur
derous train
The youth in the path of his duty
had trod
Was attacked by the natives and
treacherously slain.
I saw from his eye flash the he-
role tiro
Of a brave and true heart that
was formed to command;
He could not advance and he
would not retire.
But he stood, fought and fell with
bis knlfa In his hand.
To a desolate Island his body we
bore.
And UM his remains with his
comrades to rest;
That island never held suoh a
treasure before.
As the Jewels we burled so deep
in its breast.
as an objection to the efficiency
of our navy the extreme youth of
many of our lieutenants; but I
feel satisfied that the glory ot the
American navy will never be tar
nished from this cause. On the
contrary, there are many decided
advantages arising from the youth
of our officers. The great exper
ience of those who are now past
the middle age, and who. In the
ordinary course of nature, will be
active and efficient commanders
long after our young lieutenants
will be flying their own pen
nants, is one of these advantages.
S
"But there are two sources of
evil that may be easily closed
one by the government and the
other by the commanders of the
different ships, from which an in
fluence is expanding that must ul
timately tarnish American naval
glory. The very common practice
of promoting foreigners to places
of extra emolument and trust
among the grades denominated
petty officers -has the effect to fill
our navy with the sailors ot other
countries, while American seamen
are becoming disgusted with the
service, by being compelled to
submit to the authority of those
who, with or without provocation,
will abuse the country, curse the
flag of the United States every
day; and, if In the indulgence ot
those patriotic feelings which give
spirit to the navy, the American
sailor should resent the Insult, he
would be sure to receive the de
grading penalty of one or two doz
en lashes from the 'cat-of-nlne-
talls on his naked back.

"This practice, in time of war.
will be productive of the most
pernicious consequences an il
lustration was furnished with the
late war with England.
"In that unfortunate affair of
the Chesapeake, a Portugese boat
swain's mate was heard to say, on
going below after the battle, 'So
much for not paying men their

that he had purposely neglected
his duty because he had no lnter-

said convention as the majority
vote of the county directs.
The law provides that when a
vacancy exists, the secretary of
state shall declare the one receiv
ing tho next highest vote to be
tho delegate elected, so all that
one would have to do la case the
county votes contrary to his con
victions, ot right would be for the
delegate to notify secretary of
state that he would not attend the
convention. This would create a
vacancy. This vacancy would be
fined as herein provided for.
Tho 18ta amendment is being
endangered by drys not doing
their duty ia filing as delegates.
they doa't want to bo self start
era, they doat want to bo com
pelled to east their vote contrary
to their convictions ot right, etc
Men and women it yoa are loyal
to tho 18th amendment ahow your
colors, there's no salary attached
to this position, in tact he or she
who files as delegate makes a sac
rifice of time and money to the
cause. Away with this false modes
ty, will wo sit still and see the
18th amendment repealed Just be-
eznso we are too timid to file as
a delegate. This Is your Job. it's
not for yoa to wait for thecoun
ty to nominate you. Must we see
tho work ot half a century torn
down because drys have not filed.
How la tho name ot common
sense caa the voters of your coun
ty vote for the dry cause if there
is no dry delegate? W1U yoa see
this election go by default because
of no delegates ruing? There are
118 delegates apportioned to tho
38 counties of this state. If coun
ties do not elect either wet or dry
delegates, then that reduces the
total number of delegates. For
Instance If all counties elect dele
gates then 59 is a majority, but
say there is only 100 delegates
filed then 51 would be the major
ity. You see that ia not seeing
that your county is represented,
you make it that much easier for
the wets to win. They see this
point, hence they are not concern
ed about some upstate counties
tiling wet delegates. They have 34
delegates in Multnomah county
and can pick up a few more coun
ties and get the required number
ot votes. So I plead with you to
tile.
