Beware the Boycott WITH the idea of restoring buying power through a nation-wide effort at restoring jobs and purchasing pow er we are heartily in sympathy. It takes some such organ ized effort to rally buyine Dower to sustain the nseurlo-in. flation which the country has had the last few months. A sudden slump now would be calamitous, destrovincr the ten der buds of confidence which has been the chief lack for the last year of the depression. . But we shudder to think of the unleasine of boycotts and mob spirit aver the country. Those who recall the mass propaganda of war timewith its bitter injustices, will shrink at tne dangers of branding as slackers those who do not con form. As a matter of fact the very fear of boycott is forcing nearIyL00 compliance with the NRA program. It is true the government is not openly sponsoring boy .cotts. But it proposes house to house campaigns to get pled ges from people to patronize places which fly the blue eagle. That is a boycott negatively stated. It is a dangerous wea pon. It smacks of Hitlerism. It cultivates that movement of men in the mass which has caused havoc in the past. It is a recrudescent kluxism. Mass coercion is more potent than legal enactment. Believing as we do in liberty of thought we rebel against compulsion for mass conformity. Turn the furies of mob spirit lose, and its aCtidn is relentless. When those in author ity inspire, even negatively, such mass boycotts they are playing with weapons which are foreign to the American tradition and threatening to the very foundations of human liberty. Walter Lippman who has been an eloquent defender of the administration many times, is equally concerned over the hazards of ruthless methods which may be invoked : "For my part I do not like that kind of coercion. I do not like to bear the administration using scornful epithets to brow beat men whose difficulties no one in Washington can conceiv ably have understood. I do not like government by propaganda which may in a thousand communities incite discord and jeal ousy and hysteria and fear among the people- A government should govern by use of its lawful powers and not by unloosing popular emotions. "The idea of reaching out to force every one into such a scheme by the sheer force of public opinion is not only utterly unjust, but it is a case where the remedy will aggravate the disease. To foment discord and discrimination, boycotts and bit terness, in the neighborhoods of cities and in the towns is no way to revive business. ... "The vice of the scheme is that it does not and cannot take account of the Tom Browns, who would like to have their buttons but cannot pay the price. Upon them it threatens to unloose a mob spirit and once the mob spirit is loose it is fare well to Justice and sympathy and decency among men." Let us not lose our heads locally in bur zeal to go along with the administration. Let each man do his part, as best he can. But be slow to invoke criticism against the other fellow, to spread rumor and to imply slackerism. If the NRA degenerates into mass hysteria the cure may be worse than the disease. Repeal Convention Sidelights TlHE repeal convention was pretty much of a sounding ' board for Multnomah politicians. At that, various loud speakers were turned off by the one-minute rule. There was a great deal of fumbling around in the task of onranizinp;. Usually such matters as preparation of res olutions, names of committees, etc. have all been attended to before the call to order. They were not in this case, perhaps because there was so much contention over the trifling honor of being chairman. It was a treat day for Mrs. Lotta Smith who as rep resentative from Marion county in 1931 made a plea for the hopgrowers in behalf of Manning's resolution for resubmis sion. She made a snappy seconding speech for Mrs. Nan Wood Honevman for chairman. And what a laugh she got when she misspoke herself and suggested that ex-Mayor Ba ker lead the new chairman to the 'altar. Labor had seats right down in front. Ben Osburne, Gus Anderson ana mrs. wuinn, ot x-urmmu, .n wcuiureu organized labor, served as members of the wet delegation from Multnomah. 110 votes for adoption of the repealer, 5 votes against, one absent. Ten years ago the voting would have been the other way in about the same proportion. A veteran politi cian, looking on at the proceedings, predicted a reverse swing of the pendulum. Louise Palmer Weber of Portland, veteran lobbyist around the legislative halls, and frequent speaker for causes she espouses, was in the gallery to view the demise of pro hibition. She had been one of the speakers for repeal Socially prominent in Portland, Mrs. Honeyman had nothincr of the usual amearance of the socialite who goes in for politics. She was very modesty dressed; her demean or was reserved. George Baker said she never usea liquor. No suzsrestion of "wild Darties" or of high society cocktails about Mrs. Honeyman. She looked more like a woman active in mothers clubs than in prohibition repeal. " Reneal is only Dart of the story. What is the next step? Mrs. Jackson oroDosed a resolution opposing the return of the saloon. It got nowhere, since the majority felt the con vention had only one task to perform. Besides it waa.,4 :30, just time to get to Portland for dinner. . Prospect, of Early Action TT is heartening to note that the city council reopened the X matter of negotiating for the purchase of the water plant on the motion of Alderman Hughes. The attitude expressed by various members lent encouragement to the hope that something definite may be accomplished. As Alderman Kuhn said: "The public wants action. It is tired of continual delay by the council. We are not going to get a system stalling around as wo have." - Alderman Vandevort urged giving the committee power p ' ; - - A I yJf 1 , 1 yr2 rv:n.. I II JVr BITS for BREAKFAST By R. J. HENDRICKS- History of care of the insane: a forward look: (Continuing from yesterday:) The high points in the report of the sub-committee published yes terday are: "The plan. ... is known as the Colorado plan, . . . yielding a discharge rate around 70 percent in an average of 28 hospital days." And: "One of two steps is immediately necessary the construction of more ward space ... or the adoption of an active plan of prevention and ear ly treatment to avert the necessity thereof." m m S 'In other. words, more wards at Pendleton and Salem, or a psychi atric treatment hospital that would hold back from commit ment 70 out of every 100 pros pective patients, with an average of 28 hospital days In other words, 28 days against 10 years, the average detention time of insane patients in the state asylums throughout the country: and at a cost for build ing and equipment of little If any Pendleton state hospital 70. Up to that date, the operations at the institution for the feeble minded made a total of 280. The number 'at the last named insti tution up to Friday of last week (Aug. 4) bad mounted to 460 cases. Thus the total lor all Ore gon institutions is around 1000 now. S Few if any states have done more in proportion to population In California, the number up to December. 1927. was more than 4600, and it must be not far from 10,000 by this time. But the state of Washington has been lax in this Important field, and Idaho was about 10 years behind Oregon in passing a sterilization law, copying substantially the Oregon law, A number of states are still hesitating .to enter the field It has been a long fight. One of the greatest problems of any state or government la the regu lation and custodial care of its misfits or incompetents. The Ore gon legislature passed two laws more than that of one ward at Ion sterilization that were vetoed upon any patient afflicted with heriditary forms of insanity, im becility, etc. . . There can be no doubt that, so far as procedure is concerned, the rights of the pa tient are most carefully consid ered, and as every step in this case was taken in scrupulous com pliance with the statute, and after months of observation, there Is no doubt that in that respect the plaintiff, in error has had due pro cess of law. The attack Is not upon the procedure but upon the substan tive law. It seems to be contend ed that in NO CIRCUMSTANCE could such an order be justified. It certainly IS CONTENDED that the order cannot be justified upon existing grounds. The judgment finds that . . . Carrie Buck 'is the probable potential parent of so cially inadequate offspring, like wise afflicted, that she may be sexually sterilized without detri ment to her general health, and that her welfare and that of so ciety will be promoted by her sterilization,' and whereupon makes the order. "In view of the general decla ration of the legislature and of the specific findings of the court, obviously we cannot say as matter of law that the grounds do not exist and if they exist they Jul tify the result."

Fortu nately In these day this disease Is not encounterea frequently. It was very com mon when little was known about Infection and an tiseptics. In those times, hosottala. aspect aDy ma ternlty wards. were the scenes ef severe and serious epidemics ef erysipelas. The d Isease waa spoken of as "St. Anthony's Fire" and It was regarded as highly contactotisv Today it Is not counted as one ef the contagions dls The old name Is seldom used. It Is now known as an infectious disease, caused by a germ called the "streptococcus erystpelatla''. Sarieos Cemplieattoas May Fallow The germ enters the body through aa abrasion, a wound, any scratch or break of the akin. Trouble Is not suspected until the victim notices a marked itching and burnlnc of the Injured skin. . Then there follows sudden fever, with chill and marked redness of the skin. The -eruption begins about the sec end day after the Infection and may spread an over the body. It Is more likely to be. localized. -In mild cases the- eruption disappears- abeat the fourth day and signs of improvement begin within a week. Unfortunately. not all cases of erysipelas are of a mild nature.' Complications, such as gangrene and ether serious disturb ances maydsvelop. By proper care serious complications can be pre vented. : ' Don't Neglect Simple Ujnries Never neglect aa abrastan ef the akin. No matter hovr alight the In jury appears to you. always apply an antiseptic If throbbing and red- neas are present consult with your doctor. Do not forget that simple Injuries of the fins-era, bands or feet may lead to serious disorders. Fever, headache and Intestinal dis turbances are warning signs that the infection has spread beneath the skin. Thejc are due to the absorption of poisons trom the Infected wound. Careful nursing and medical care are essential if undesirable complications are to be prevented. As I said, this dreaded disease is less frequently seen today. We are fortunate enough to live In a differ ent eg. We have at our disposal adeeuate measures for combatting infection and disease. In addition.
