Trial and Error THE usually competent Eugene Register-Guard gives us one of the finest examples of faulty reasoning with reference to the new deal we have seen anywhere, although it merely phrases attitudes which other people have assumed with ref erence to-the ."new deal". In a discussion of the Rooseveltian program the R-G concludes : I "If It falls the country will be in position to try something toe." - : . Take this analogy : A ship is floundering in heavy gales. a rmstake and the ship is hurled upon the rocks. As the ship breads n pieces can the captain say, "Well, now we are in po sition to try another course?" The Rooseveltian rule of trial and error has the virtue of making an effort ; but the error win be no less costly if mis takes are made. The president's good intentions will not miti gate the disaster that may occur if the methods he uses do fail. It is already apparent that the markets are not respond ing to the new device of bidding up the price of gold in an ef fort to cheapen the dollar and thus to raise prices. Though the ffalloi. Viae Kflfln rlahticjxt mnwa 4-rmiv Pmf TA7orron rvrnonnollv estimated to be necessary to! restore the 1926 price level, that level is still far distant. In some commodities we are little above the lows of 1932. Will the president now turn to schemes of wilder inflation as the radicals keep urging him to do ? At another time of crisis when the proponents of the cheap dollar were driving hard another democrat was in the White House, Grover Cleveland. He called the congress in special session and'this was his message: "The people of the United States are entitled to a sound and stable currency and to money recognized as such on every exchange and in every market in the world. Their government has no right to injure them by financial experiments opposed to the policy and practice of other civilized states, nor is it Justi fied in permitting an exaggerated and unreasonable reliance on oar natural strength and ability to jeopardize the soundness of the people's money. . . T "The very man of all others who has the deepest Interest in a sound currency and who suffers most by mischievous legisla tion in money matters is the man who earns his daily bread by his daily toil." Such was the attitude of Grover Cleveland in 1893 to ward "trial and error" with reference to the currency, to ward the schemes of the money tinkerers who sought by the alchemy of the printing press or of cheap silver io make peo ple rich by legislative fiat. We do not predict what will happen as a result of the Rooseveltian experiments ; but if in consequence of the dele gation of powers made by congress it should come to pass that our currency is rendered worthless, our credit extin guished at home and abroad, our economic life put in the straight-jacket of a Washington bureau, our farmers made government pensioners, would the Register-Guard say that the country is "in position to try something else?" - is'7' "'Today' . . . and Tomorrow PROF. MOLEY'S weekly magazine "Today" makes its ap pearance on the tands. It is designed as "an independent national weekly", but the publisher qualifies the independence thus: "Nevertheless, it is indeed a fact that we shall support to the utmost limit of our strength the ideals so admirably embodied in the Roosevelt administration." 'I'thn nnlilicrior io Vinpont try of the Astor fortune. His own pronouncement indicates the manner of his thought : "The most destructive and effective enemies of capitalism today are neither thn demagogue nor the foreign agitator with his imported propaganda; but rather those who, from within the ranks of capitalism toelf, have brought into the administration of their affairs ineptitude, greed, injustice, and selfishness. It this writer is not the roughly mistaken about the signs of these times, a new dispensation is being brought into b e 1 a g which ' promises to hold the strict accountability those who exert the ' power of financial and economic leadership." . Perhaps Mr. Astor thus gives hostages to fortune. With his vast landed interests he may be concerned that some radi cal dispensation may arise which would sweep his possessions from his grasp. So he endorses political and economic reforms before it is too late. He is wiser than the Bourbons in their generation ia France. And he is correct in blaming financial leaders for their.appalling breaches of business wisdom and of social ethics in management of financial affairs. The contributors, to the first issue include William Hard, Arthur Brisbane, Paul Mallon, all working newspaper people. So many articles from these folk, together with the editorial comments of the editor, Raymond D. Moley, make the maga zine appear lopsided with "opinion" and deficient in articles with information. These news-writers are merchandising their opinions almost daily in the newspapers. Their maga zine articles thus are rather stale. Other independent week lies, like The Nation and the New Republic, include numerous informative articles which often are more powerful as mold ersj of opinion than the dicta of Washington correspondents. With Astor back of the magazine "Today" may continue into tomorrow. Without his or other subsidy, there is noth ing in the initial issue which is especially unique and which would of itself justify the hope that the magazine would thrive. 5 The country will not grieve because the stiff-necked steel and coal barons had to nod their heads yes whea the president called them to. Regardless -of merit or demerit of the onion demands, this la true that the steecoal people have maintained a feudal empire in Penn sylvania and tie southern Appalachians. Jnst as T.

Copeland, M.D. FEW PERSONS are aware ot the valuable service rendered the world by the health organization of the League or Nations. This Institution is making a world wide effort to combat dis ease. It publishes advice and in structions neces sary for the con trol ot disease. An outstanding report of this health organiza tion lies before mo as I write. It describes recent advances made in the study'v of' malaria. No one can deny that at one Dr. Copeland time malaria I was a menace to peo ple all over tha world. The disease has been knows for many centuries. It was first described by Hippocrates, the father ot medicine, in the fifth century B. C Discover an Extract It was not until 1640 that any cure could be offered to sufferers from this disease. At that time it was dis covered that when an extract made from the cinchona plant was given the victim of malaria great relief was obtained. More than two hundred years passed before it became known that the beneficial effect of the ex tract was due to the quinine found In the cinchona plant. Later there followed a series of rapid and important discoveries con cerning malarial fever. In 1880 a French army surgeon named Lav eran discovered that malaria was caused by a parasite. He called it the "malaria Plasmodium'. A few years later Sir Ronald Ross discovered that the disease could be transmitted by the bite of a certain variety of mosquito. The mosquito transmitted the disease only after biting a sufferer from malaria. The parasite developed In the mosquito and could be passed on to its next victim. Control of the Disease During the past three decades malarial fever has been controlled by the partial eradication of the mos quito, by the screening of homes' in Infected areas, and by proper by gienic measures and the Isolation of malarial patients. It Is true that the disease is not as common as la for mer years but malaria still continues to be a health problem which con cerns the whole world. Though quinine is extremely bene ficial in malaria, medical science baa not as yet discovered a drug that will kill the parasite. When this is ac complished relapses of the fever will bo prevented and the disease will be more completely controlled. As I have implied, the spread of malaria is checked by destroying mosquitoes in all malaria Infested sections of the world, Continued draining, oiling and sprinkling of mosquito-breeding places are essen tial. With support ot the excellent work now conducted by such organi zations as the health organization of the League of Nations aad our own health organizations, there will be complete eradication of this- old and devastating disease of mankind.

OREGON STATESMAN, alfc-a, Not-So-Sunny France Ttrtz -V it n v- BITS for BREAKFAST By,R. J. HENDRICKS- Pony express, first wire, i overland stages, railroad: H J There is a chapter (number 7) In Rufus Rockwell Wilson's new book, "Out of the West," that tells in an interesting manner the epic story of the pony ex press, ended with the first tele graph line, followed by the over land stages welded into a great system by Ben Holladay of Ore gon pioneer railroading fame, and his career on the plains en terprise brought to a close by the approach of the day of the driv ing of the last spike that joined the Union and Central Pacific railroads. The story in full is worth read ing, beginning: "There lives in comfortable retirement on a fruit ranch in the San Joaquin valley in California a man now in his 91st year who can tell of stir ring events In which he had a part. "His name is Wm. Campbell and of the daredevil riders of the pony express he is believed to be the only one now alive. The pony express, celebrated by Mark Twain and many another, had an existence of only 18 months before it gave way to the transcontinental telegraph, but those months were part of an eventful era, and so it proved an important factor, not only in quick communication of news, but also in binding the east to the west in the fateful hour when the future of the Union was trembling in the balance. - "In 1860 -there were 600,000 settlers west of the Rockies, with no -eastern mall service under three or four weeks, whether by Yesterdays . . .

"Most of the eastern mall went by way of Panama on a 22 day schedule from New York to San Francisco. It was this state ot things the pony express wa de signed to remedy, and credit for its inception belongs in the main to- Wm. M. Gwin, then a federal senator from California. "In the fall of 1854 Senator Gwin, traveling on horseback, made the journey from San Francisco to Washington, by way of Salt Lake City and South Pass, then known as the central route. One of Gwin's companions, in the earlier stages of his jour ney was B. F. Ficklin, general superintendent of the freighting firm of Russell, Majors & Wad dell, and out of the friendship thus formed sprang the pony ex press. "Ficklin had long been con vinced of-the great and steadily growing need for closer com munication between east and west, and, as they rode together over the Sierras and across the waste places of what are now Ne vada 'and Utah, he brought his companion to the same way of thinking. V S V "Early In the following year Gwin introduced a bill In con gress which provided for a week ly letter express between St. Louis and San Francisco, follow ing the central route, the sched ule to be 10 days and the cost to exceed $5000 for each round trip. N 'The bill died In committee, for the men from the south then con trolled congress, and, with the slavery issue -casting ever length ening shadows? over the sections, were able to -talk legislation fav orable to mail routes north of the slaveholding states, and to restrict federal atdToHhe southern routes. "However, the people of the Pa cific coast, constantly growing in numbers, continued to demand faster and better mail service with the east, nor did Senator Gwin with the passage ot time lose any part of the enthusiasm Mr. Fick lin had imparted to him. "Thus when, In 1859, Wm. Rus sell, head of Russell, Majors to W-ddell, visited Washington In connection with the government contracts of his firm, the senator lost no time in pointing ont to him the steadily growing need for bett.r mail facilities by way of the central route. In his talks with Russell, Gwin stressed the proba bility of an early closing of the southern routes then in operation: and the Imperative need for a i on northerly route which would be safe from interference by the south, and at the same time as sure quick communcation be tween the federal authorities and the Unionists, who were in a majority in California, but who might, if occasion arose, have to fight to keep their state In the Union. "Converted1 by twin's -argu ments, Russell promised that if it was found practicable to keep the central route open during: the winter months and also to make better time.- between New Tork and San Francisco than by the Panama route, his firm with all poflsi'le dispatch would establish the desired service. "Returning west, he met his partners. Majors and Waddeil, at Fort XeaVen worth and laid tha matter before them. They at lint argued aagtnst the rentsre, con tending: that, oven with the most careful management, "I was a axe to prove a losing venture; hut when Russell Informed them that November 2. 1S33 i 1 rl 1 O CHAPTER fTJTT ' Horn stm had to lach at Pop, the way he took eTerythinr In Just like ha was no there on the screen himself; wagginc his head and dropping that eye down. Mom could hardly enjoy the oleture sometimes for tear Pop would an swer tha Coach whan he was bawl- in; out Tommy. Horn didnt think it waa- very nice, hezaclf bat she supposed- tt was Just, part of the plar and anyhow. Tommy didn't par much attention to the Coach- anyhow, but kept on looking ngnt out at the audience until Mom was sure ho-was rivinr her a. message. But it all cam right in the end, after Tommy, made hfar big run and then the drop-kick stud everybody started, to o owt. Mom began to! get her things on bat Pop wouldn't badge. "There's another show, he told Mom and there was nothdng-for her to do hut sit there as he wouldn't pay any attention when she told Mm people would talk about tnem for staying to see it twice and George Kaufman had only re served tha seats for one- shew and would want to sell them again be cause a big crowd was standing; up in the back. And Mom thought it would he nice to go out with every' body else and see what they thought of the way Tommy had acted. Cousin Emmy got up, though, and Mom thought, at least the second show would be more en- iovable: bat just aa she was think hta this, Cousin Emmy told Mom not to let anybody take her seat because she'd be back; and abe went down the aisle with the slay or and R. E. Washburn, pulling their coat sleeves and wagging her head and showing her buck teeth as if anybody eared what she thourht. Pop slept through all of the other pictures and Mom tried to nudge him and wake him up be cause it wasn't very flattering to George Kauifman; but he gave her a look and Mom was afraid he'd embarrass her so she let him sleep but he must have had one eye open, for as soon as Tommy came on again he was wide awake; and he went through - the same perform ance again, mumbling to himself; but there was one consolation he hadn't taken his shoes clear off and he got 'them on, all right, and walked out, just like he came in, paying no attention to anybody and pulling Mom along when somebody wanted to stop and shake hands with her. But all night long and the next morning while she was working around the house after Pop and Pete had gone to work, Mom couldn't forget Uncle Louie., While she and Pop were walking out, she had noticed him over in the corner of the back row, all by hir jeif, and pretending that he wasn't there; so Mom pretended she hadn't seen him. She had to feel sorry for him, off by himself when he liked to be important: and the only thing she could figure out was that he hadn't come down to sit with them be cause he didn't have his white shirt and tie any more. The more Mom thourht of it, the more she was sure that was what was making him so cranky he had changed for the worse ever since he had had to quit wearing the white shirt and tie, the poor old fellow. Peopl were funny. and other friends, the two men withdrew their objections, and announced their willingness to devote all the resources of their firm, then the most important in the field, to speedy fulfillment of their partner's pledge. e a "Alexander Majors, who long survived Russell and Waddell, was 25 years ago a familiar fig ure on the streets and in the public places of Chicago. His tall figure, rugged features and beard of snowy whiteness never failed to prompt respectful comment in arr gathering, and when assur ed of an Interested listener he was ever ready to talk at length of the stirring days and events in which his firm had played a leading part. Here are notes of an interview had with him a few months before his dath: S V " 'Having . decided,' said Mr. Majors, 'to establish the pony ex press, as a first step we organized the Central Overland California and Pike's Peak Express company under a Kansas charter, includ ing Ficklin and W. W. Finney, another , ot ' our principal em ployees, among the incorporators. Then the stage line from Atchison to -lt Lake City owned and op erated by our firm was turned over to the new company, which proceeded to acquire the Chorpen nlng mail and stage line operating on a monthly schedule between Salt Lake and Sacramento, and the Leavenworth and Pike's Peak Express, which had lately estab lished a stage line between Leav enworth and Denver, along the route now followed by the Kas sas Pacific division ot the Union Pacific system. This gave us a continuous line from Atchison to the coast, " 'It was at the same time de cided that while Russell remain ed in the east, : Ficklin should take charge of the operations at Salt Lake and Finney at San Francisco. When FlckMn reached Salt Lake he set to work with J. C. Brumbley, our resident agent at that point, to prepare a sched ule, locate' relay and other sta tions, and make exact, estimates of the number ot men and horses that would bo needed for the pro posed service. There were already stations property distanced on our line between St, Joseph, and Salt Lake, but wa-had to relocate the roata between. Salt Lake and Sac ramento which wo bad taken over from Chorpenning, and build sta tions its entire length.' " t fftvrlw M aVt awaaa n it iDAV'' By rKAiNuai IVl I DV 1 V wi..

Tommy was back and the family waa to gether and everybody got along fine except that Uncle Louie was real grouchy at first because when Tommy was coming home Mom had to put him out of his room. Of course it was really Tom's room and Uncle Louie had been using but the way he acted you would have thought he was being put out in the snow. Part of it was because he had to go stay with Cousin Em, my. She wouldn't listen to it at first and it was kind of embarrass ing to Mora with the two of them there together and Uncle Louie saying he'd rather go to the poor- house- and Cousin Emmy, telling him to go on; only if he came wiU her, he'd walk the chalk and eat what was put on the table and either like it or lump it. Mom was kind of sorry, whea he left because he knew he was leaving a good home; but she thought maybe they'd have tome peace around the house With him gone and not al ways starting arguments with Pop But that didnt keep Uncle Louie from coming to Christmas dinner and it was a sight for sore eyes to see him when Tommy gave him the shirt. It was a white shirt and tie the first ones Uncle Louie had had for a long while; and his old eyes got watery and he could hardly keep from smiling although he said ACTRESS GETS NICE SILVERTON, KOT..1. r- Silver ton people were Interested in the special attention accorded Helen Kleeb in the Orgonian Sunday.

Mom wasnt 'quite so sure but she knew nobody could help liking Steve when they got to know her because she had such a big heart. And Mom could afford to give the stockings away because Tommy had also brought her a pair of kid gloves and a suitcase with a comb and brush and mirror in it and a little box to put soap in and a little box to put powder in.
