Of course , the sovereign cure for worry is religious faith. .... The- turbulent billows of the fretful surface leave the deep parte of the ocean undisturbed, and to him who hoe hold on vaster and more permanent realities the hourly vicissi tude of his personal destiny teem relatively insignificant." William James. Liberty in Healing THE Statesman is in receipt of two letters which endorse the healing arts amendment, from persons who relate how their children have been cured through drugless heal ing. As the letters :are personal testimonials to the extent of classifying as advertising they will not be published. However we believe one point needs to be clear in the public mind. The existing laws of Oregon, including the basic science law which was enacted at the last legislature, in no way interfere- with the practice of drugless healing, either now or in the future. Those who desire a chiropractor may call him if they want to ; those who desire a medical doc tor may call him. There is no infringement on personal lib erty now in this respect. - - All the basic science law requires is that applicants for licenses either as medical doctors or as drugless doctors pass examinations in the elemental sciences like physiology, an atomy, pathology, hygiene and chemistry as well as the spe cial examinations of the particular art they wish to practice. It simply protects the public, partially, from letting people practice on them who are ignorant of some of these essen tials. The basic science examinations are not given by medical men; there is no discrimination against drugless healers. The examiners are chosen from the college and university faculties in Oregon, which insures an impartial and compe tent examination. This healing arts amendment should be defeated for two reasons: first, it wipes out this gain in health protec tion; and second, it is presented as a long constitutional amendment which is the wrong way to legislate on matters of this kind, purely regulatory in character. Support the New Deal? GENERAL MARTIN is running for governor of Oregon on a platform of support the "new deal." President of his campaign committee and principal money-rustler on be half of General Martin is Henry B. Van Duzer, former mem ber of the state highway commission. Mr. Van Duzer is also general manager of the Inman-Poulsen company, whose name heads the list in a legal attack on the price-fixing pro ' visions of the lumber code, one of the great "achievements" f NRA, which is the very heart of the "new deal." Carl Donaugh, U, S. district attorney, an ardent "new dealer" and democratic politician, filed snit against Inman 1'oulsen citing a long list of violations of the code, and alleg . ing that Inman-Poulsen refused to let code enforcement au thorities examine its books and records; but the lumber com panies got out a restraining order. Thus at a critical stage of the political campaign we have Congressman Martin standing as sponsor for the "new deal", urging his defeat would be interpreted as repudiation of Pres. Roosevelt, while Henry B. Van Duzer, his chief fi : nancial aide and one of the group which has sponsored his candidacy from the beginning, now attacking provisions of the lumber code which is supposed to govern his industry under NRA. Courts and Sentiment DOOLEY, the great humorist, once said the supreme court followed the election returns. If it keeps close to the pulse of public sentiment, a lot of the new deal legislation will be declared unconstitutional. Even though the voters re- turn democratic candidates in the next election, that will not , mean an endorsement of the flew deal. It will mean rather that they will give Roosevelt another chance in working out recovery methods. That the tins is running out on NRA has long been ap parent. General Johnson has gone with his wicker, blue eagle. Donald Richberg, appointed "receiver" for NRA, hasn't yet made a new report of assets and liabilities; and is busy trying to figure a way out. Meantime when government at torneys started to "crack down" such a revolt started among such rugged individuals as the lumbermen that even the . courts called a halt This swing in sentiment will doubtless give the supreme court of the United States more courage; and help to pre serve the fundamental law as. embodied in the constitution.- Tax Limitation Bill SEN. H. C. Wheeler, who as chairman of .the senate .com-. mittee on ways and means has an intimate knowledge of : the financing of government in this state, in an address in :. Eugene last week, had this to say on the 20-mill limitation bill: V "Not only does the 20-mill limitation fix a maximum millage for all taxing units bat divides this rate In fixed and unvarying '-' proportions among state, county, city and school district To at - tempt to legislate In the constitution maximum rates of taxation . ;.' for some 36 counties, 1S2 cities, and more than 2000 school dis- . tricts regardless of changing local conditions seems very much like an unscientific approach to budgets and tax problems." The public Is waking up to the menace of this 20-mill bill which would demoralize pubhe finance, would cripple rev enues without either showing what activities to curtail or other sources of income. The bin should be defeated and some more sensible solntion found for our fiscal problems. - Looks like fast footwork In Washington. Apparently the demo cratic 'administration was disposed to back Sinclair until-the- pons indicated he was going to be defeated. Then they ran oat on Farley repudiated a letter he had written; and George Creel repudi ated Sinclair's EPIC. If the Sinclair ship Is to sink evidently the party heads do not want to be on board.

HENDRICKS Giants in those days, and giants in these, too: (Continuing from yesterday:) These words appear in the diary entry for April 12, 1857: "There is no time in the year when the grass is not green. ... The Talleys are now covered with beautiful flowers, golden yellow predominating, though all colors are well represented. "The strawberry has been In bloom for more than a month. Great abundance of this delicious fruit is anticipated. S S "The Indians on the reserva tion near here have had another little difficulty among themselves. In consequence of so many deaths among the npper Rogue. Hirers they recently held a council to determine who It was that had been causing them to die. . . . They have resolved on causing to be killed various doctors, who hare been bewitching them. As a commencement, they, this morn ing, shot an Umpqua doctor, who. Just before dying, wounded his murderer, Sambo, in the leg. . . Whether the matter will end with out further bloodshed remains to be seen." S In the entry of April 20: "The Yaquina bay, about 20 miles from the Silets, and at the middle of the coast line of the reserva tion, is found to be a good and safe entrance for small vessels. The Indian department have al ready landed a schooner load of provisions there for the Indians. . . Lieut. Wm. B. Hazen, Fourth infantry, being ordered to Join his regiment in Texas, bade ns farewell this morning." (Aft erward General Hazen of the Civil war, and chief of the U. S. signal service for a very long term, as told not long since In this column. He was the original officer In charge at Fort. Yamhill, succeeded Second Lieut. P. H. Sheridan.) S Entry for Jone 15, 1857: "On the requisition of Capt. Augur, commanding at , Fort Hoskins, Company. F, 4th infantry, was dis patched to the Silets yesterday morning. It Is reported that soma of the-Indians at that point are getting troublesome, and sup posed to be on the ere of leaving the reservation." S "a July 4, 1857, Dr. Glisan wrote: "Lieut. Philip H.

EARLY in the present state political campaign. The Ashland Tid ings determined not to be stampeded into the corral of any one , of the candidates until we had time to thorooghryftndy and an alyze the policies and qualifications of the various candidates, with out regard to party or other affiliations. ? t . We believe now that sufficient time has elapsed for a decision; we think that the candidates have been "pot on the spot", aofflclent ly to reveal their character, -their policies and their ability to handle the Job of being governor of the state of, Oregon, whick is not a pink tea affair nor a mere shell of an honor, bat a real task, for a real man who can and will put real work into the lob, baaed on' exper ience and a thorough knowledge of conditions isf Oregon and the needs of Oregon. . '"".' Last night we carefully studied a great niase of xoaterial that we nad collected during the last few month of the campaignand made a comprehensive comparison of the three leading candidates their experience, their knowledge of our state, their habits, their background, their activities la the business life of Oregon, their view points, their expressions and many other characteristics. " We feel positive, after this most careful consideration, that. Joe K. Dunne la more ably qualified to give Oregon maximum results in this Job. i There are two other candidates who will figure prominently la St" i ' - . ; ' - J 9yyi w4l : T 1 4 4V ' ' are now the only commissioned officers at this post (Fort Yam hill) "In honor of the day we tired a salute of 21 guns at. noon, also a shell. The sergeant in charge was in the act of putting the lat ter in the howitzer with, the fuse reversed. The mistake was seen and corrected by Lieut, Sheridan, otherwise an explosion ot the how itzer might have been the result." (The "31 guns" were foT the 31 states of the union at that date: California, admitted In 1850, being the 31st PhU Sheri dan probably saved Urea , by not ing the incident ot the reversed fuse.) S S (As noted several' paragraphs back, the arrival at Fort Tarn hill of PhU Sheridan on Jnne 26, 1857, was by no means his first arrival there. It was two. months to a day before, on AprU 25, and he had been very busy, as noted, at Fort Hoskins and at the west ern outposts of the reservation.) Entry for Aug. C, 1857i. "For the past three months I have been kept very much engaged in mak ing professional visits througlr the neighborhood. The country north and east of the post (Fort Yamhill) is pretty thickly settled, and I hare all tha difficult eases to attend within SO miles of this place. They never send for phy sicians in ordinary cases." (Evi dently the army doctor eked out his slim government salary with a private practice. "There were "ordinary cases" daring the peri od in the family of the Bits man's mother and father, within halt the distance of the 30 mile circuit ; but Dr. Glisan was assumedly sot called, for "they, were. only . th e births of the several older broth ers of the Bits man, in the Cooper Hollow heme, midway between Dallas and what became Mon mouth.) V Dr. Glisan spoke., in . the same paragraph of a little vacation trip which he permitted himself the manifestly needed relaxation . to indulge.

Martin, whom, we frankly admit, WE WANTED TO SUPPORT, during the earlier stages ot the campaign, because of some INTANGIBLE REASON, but this attraction for the General was rudely shattered after our con tact with, the General and our study ot him and his policies. We still have the deepest of admiration for this gentleman, but earlier belief that he would be superior as governor, has been dis sipated. We visioned a man ot indomitable spirit, a man with a driv ing force, a man of strong Independent thought and policies, bnt we hare not found these qualifications and characteristics in the General We do not desire to disparage the General. He is a gentleman of the highest character, who unquestionably would grace the gov ernor's office with dignity and equanimity, but we consider that Oregon "needs more than dignity, grace and equanimity in the gover nor's office. Since we have lost oir enthusiasm for the General, we cannot support him. However, we desire to assure General Martin's friends and supporters, of whom he has many here, that The Aahland Tidings will be glad to give- space to them to extoll his virtues as they see them, for, frankly, we have lost our enthusiasm for that task. The third candidate la State Senator Peter Zimmerman and we unqualifiedly dismiss him, as far as we are concerned, as we con sider that he stands for policies and governmental functions and op erations which would be dangerous and in ocoosition to the sound principles of government that we many years, ior the trend of the past few years has already forced radical measures upon as in our grasping, blind search for reme dies for our many economic and social ills. Oregon most not blindly reach' out and take unto itself quack ideas, unsound economic ventures and unwise policies in this period of distress, when there is still every indication of a need during the next few years of a governor at Salem who will be an inspiration to our legislators and his co-officials and who will furnish a steady and constructive guiding hand and mind for our state. While we consider Peter Zimmerman a potential danger, we do not consider him qualified to handle this job thst Oregon voters will fill next Tuesday. We have analyzed Joe E. Dunne from a cold, practical stand point and by comparison with his opponents. He has faults and abort comings," which arise m any life that has been active and human, but we consider him better qualified in virtually every way than either ot his opponents. He is a 'gentleman; he Is active, alert, keenly alive to human natore and the needs and rights of the average' man, since he has been an average man in average occupations and in contact with ave rage men and women for many years in the thick of Oregon's business and legislative life. . Through these years,-' he" has accumulated a vast storehouse of knowledge ot Oregon her leaders, her problems, her needs, her characteristics, her shortcomings,- her potentialities which will al ways be available for quick decision and action when the problems of the governorship face him, it he is elected. Some say that he is too susceptible to the desires of the people.' A Three Days' Cough Is Your Danger Signal Dos't )M tk W rU kla. Fict tana quickly.

I'U go and tall Edna to get into bad." It waa Wallace who had rang tha doorbell. Ee stood on the rubber mat en the front porch, holding; his hat and a gray pasteboard florist's box. At Susan stared at hint he stepped op into the vestibule and kicked off his rubbers. Then be cams into the hall and hung his overcoat on the hat tree. "Yon cant keep a good man down, yon see, Sanaa I" he said bo morously. He was smiling, plainly Eid with himself for taking her rra in this fashion. There was hint the swagger of the eosv qocrinr mala aa ha walked vp to her and handed her the box. "Peace offering," he explained and tried to put an arm around her. Sosan laid tha box en the marble topped table. "Wallace," she said, "yon cant stay. Uncle Worthy's terribly sick. He's just had a stroke of soma kind and I've got to go back upstairs and ait with aim. The doctor's Just ready to leave Dr. Kendall." As she spoke Dr. Kendall's name it flashed across her mind that Dr. Kendall would have been Wallace's father-in-law if Eleanor bad kept the diamond and sapphire ring. She wondered if Wallace were thinking it too. "Is that so. Susan?" His good looking face was ail sympathy. "Gosh, but I'm sorry for you I There must be somethinft I can do to help. Ill just wait until be conies down stairs and sec if there is anything. Yon don't mind, do you?" "There isnt anything you can do, Wallace. The drugstore is just down the street and we can tele phone for anything we need. I know you'd rather not stay." "I hone von don't think that it embarrasses me to meet Doc Ken dall," he said. "No, indeed 1 I've hardlv thoueht of the Kendall tribe since I met you. That whole affair is so far away that it's something that never happened, as far as 1 m concerned! and you've got to for get it, too." He walked Into the parlor and stood lookinar down at the Dink coals that glowed in the grate, drumming bis fingers on the mantel sneix. "Coma here a minute, and let me talk sense to yon," he called softly to Susan after a minute or two. In the midst of sickness and trouble he was not taking his mind from the thing that was uppermost in it That was why he would always get along in the world, thought Susan dully. He was a man of one idea at a time, and he stuck to that one idea through thick and thin and then when he had carried it through to the finish, ha went on to some thing else. Just as be had put Eleanor Kendall out of his mind and had pot Susan Broderick into the place left empty by her. Susan looked at him through the doorway and slowly shook her head. Then suddenly she turned her face toward the door at the back of the hall. From the back of the house came the sound of a key turning in a lock, the sound of a door swinging on hinges that squeaked, and Allen came into the front haU, carrying his two emotv suitcases. He crave Susan a quick searching glance and . . 1 1 s L' came Close to ner, aroppins; nai cases on the bottom step of the stairs.

Let's get out of here and get married tonight Ton can come back here tomorrow and take care of these people unto they're well. But let's settle every thins; now." Sosan took his hand away from her face. Holding it tightly in both ef hers, she told him in an under tone what had happened to Uncle Worthr: and all the time she was telling ft she eould see Wallace's face, a pale blur, turned toward her from the ahadows of the firelit par lor.

"How do yon dot I'm Wallace Staff en." he said politely, pleasant ly, to Allen when Susan made no effort to introduce them but simply stood with the flowers in her hands looking down at them aa if she were bund to everythingelse around her. "Hew do yon do? she heard Allen answer. He stopped, picked op his dropped suitcases and went op- stairs Wallace watched him until he rounded the torn at the landing. he were informing himself of the fact "Whelshe?"', "You must have seen him before. He's been rooming here," Susan re lied, her ups so stiff that it was ard for her to form the words.; "You didn't know that we kept roomers, did yon? Well, wa do. We have to We's lost almost every thing we have, Wallace? You're really very lucky to lose me. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if my husband had to keep all the Broder- Wallace said angrily that he wasn't thinking about money but about her. Then he added that he knew all about the family's affairs anyhow more than Susan knew, in all probability. The bank held the mortgages on both the house and The Broderick Arms, and Un cle Worthy had tried to make a large loan only the day before. Susan shook her bead and said that she didn't know anything about their affairs really, beyond the fact that they seemed to be dreadfully poor these days. And when Wal lace had put on his things, exclaim ing, "In love with the roomer! Gosh, that's good!" and had left the house, she discovered thst she was so tired that she could hardly drag herself up the stairs. The door of Allen's room stood open and he was kneeling on the floor fitting his law books into one of the bags. She stood in the hall outside and spoke to nun. "You couldn't possibly think that I asked Wallace here tonight? be cause I didn't" she said. "He just popped in." He snapped his suitcase shot and rot up. "You call me un tomorrow." he said shortly. His eyes were not on her bat on the flowers that she had forgotten to lay down on the haU table. He went out of the room and out of the house. . AH night long Sosan sat In her uncle's room in an armchair cov ered with wine-colored wrap. She had put en a sweater and a fur coat and laid a comforter ever her knees. but she was so cold and so frisrht- ened that she could not sleep. Un cle Worthy's broad figure, outlined by the candle-wick bedspread. never moved. The hoarse bubbling sound of his breath never stopped. At eight in the morning when Aunt Edna came limping in to take her place, Susan was so stiff and aching- with fatigue that pains ran through her tike the stabs of a dag ger when she moved. She went into her own room and slept until noon as u she nad been drugged. There was thick white frost en the lower panes of her windows when she awoke, and she could see her own breath on the cold sir of the bedroom. Evidently Lutie and Aunt Edna had let the furnace go out She looked in at her uncle on her war downstairs. He was lying just as he had lam the night before in the middle of his big- bed with its pineapple -topped posters. His breathing was still terrif yingry loud and his flashed face was greatly swollen. Ne one was with him. Latle's bed had not been made up, Susan saw as she passed her doorway, and in the downstairs ball the array cardboard box and the piece of gauze still lay oa the mar ble-topped tame.

Oregon needs cheer fulness and a living personality in the governor's office, such as we believe Dunne would have. Besides, who knows better the requirement! ef a governor and the possibilities In a legislature than a real legislative leader such aa Joe E.

Lutie and Aunt Edna were sitting as dose te it aa they eould get, and aa Susan came into the room she had s swift conviction that nothing not even flood or earthquake er sudden death could oust them from those old red plush chairs.

"The wind seems to be in the wrong direction, or else the new grate that the fur nace man put in Isnt the right kind. Maybe yon can make it work." She was dressed in a flow ered ehallis wrapper that she had called her "tea gown" for more years than Susan could dearly re member, and around her neck was a flannel band yellow with camphor ated oil. Aunt Edna nad the hot water bottle on her bad knee, and the two women were a picture of misery. Sosan went down to the base ment and made up the fire in the furnace. There was not very mach coal in the bin and she wondered if she ooght not te speak to Aunt Edna about getting some house keeping money from Uncle Wor thy's wallet Up in the kitchen two stacks of dirty dishes showed that Lutie and Aunt Edna had breakfasted, and on the stove was a little stew pan in which last night s meat had been warmed over. There was a bowl of prunes on the kitchen table and be side it lay the heel of a loaf of rye bread. When she had put the room In order she went back to the two women in the parlor. "Well have to have some money for groceries. There isn't any butter left in the crock, and there's no fruit for to morrow morning," she told them. rolline down the sleeves of the bine flannel dress over wrists that were chapped and slightly gray from the coal dust that seemed to have worked into her skin during the days since Anna's departure. Aunt Edna with a srroan reached for her handbag that was tucked down between the cushions of her chair. "I took all the money .that was in your nncle's clothes this morning. She took a handful of bills from the purse and handed Susan three dollars. "There wasn't much in them. Only nine dollars and a few cents. Well have to do something about getting a little money out of his account at the bank I tnoaght perhaps Wallace could tell ns just how to go about it" She pot one ef her hands, with its rings of "dirty" minecut dia monds, to her eyes. "I cant get used to your uncle lying there not knowing anything, not being able to advise us and help us. Susan, youll have to telephone Wallace or run down to see him. I cant go, and Lutie certainly cant and we must have a little money to turn round with." Susan said that she would take care of it There was nothing else for her to say. "Dr. Kendall was here at nine 'dock," her aunt's voice went on drearily. "He says that unless Worthy has another stroke hell get ever this. That is, hell regain his consciousness but hell never be able to walk again or use his left side. If s completely paralyzed." Susan remembered then thst it was the left aide of her uncle's face that had worn that purplish flush the day before. "Hell probably spend the rest of bis life fn a wheel chair and he may live b'ke that for twenty years. Dr. Kendall says." Aunt Edna had Sot her hand down in her lap, and er face was bloated with crying, her eyebrows twisted up high oa her forehead in a look ef dismay and astonishment at the blow life had dealt her. "It's going to be ter sible for him and if a going to be much more terrible for .me, having to take care ef a helpless cripple all the rest of my days.
