Political Pressures
THOUGH the United States is officially declared neutral
in the present war between Italy and Ethiopia the gov
ernment has been active, in forbidding trade with the
belligerents. Not only have embargoes been laid against ex
ports of munitions of war, but, warnings have been issued
against shipments of war materials such as oil and gasoline.
: However the government did not stop with warnings that
" such trade was carried on at the shippers' risk. It has ap
plied pressures on shipping companies which are in debt to
the United States, by telling them directly they owed the
government and such exports were contrary to government
policy.
P Here indeed is the government treading On dangerous
ground. For as it has loaned money widely to banks, rail
roads, farmers, home owners, if it invokes threats and pres
sures by virtue of its position as creditor then the way is
opened for a political dictation from Washington that will
" wipe out popular freedom. I
Even so careful and factual a reporter as RaymondClap
per, Washington correspondent, condemns resort to such
pressures. He says in a dispatch published in the Portland
v Journal :
1 I f "That is a dangerous use of government power. Public
- ; opinion may find little objection to its use' for this particular pur
f pose. But it ought to be constantly emphasized that this Is an
extraordinary use of power which the government holds as a
creditor.
It is not the kind of pressure which we want very much of.
To accept this, method as normal would mean that the house
holder who had been financed by HOLC might well expect that
government HOLC agents would be calling on him next fall to
i ad rise him to vote right. Powers of the federal government
over business are vastly greater than ever before. There is scarce
ly a concern that could not bereached in some way from Wash
ington if high authorities here suddenly decided to crack down
on it."
To show the incongruity of the actions of government
departments: just before this notice was sent to shipping
companies the department of commerce rushed a number of
government-owned merchant vessels to New Orleans to re
lieve the jam ,at that port caused by the rush in exporting
cotton to Italy and other European nations. Thus the govern
ment aids in the export of war materials, even profits in the
process ; while it solemnly warns companies not to be naughty
in shipping oil, another essential for modern warfare.
Permitting Rail Competition
AN example is seen or the efforts of employes to promote
the business of their employers and thus to provide them-
selves with greater employment in the campaign the
railroad labor organizations of the west are making for pass
age of the Pettengill bill which would enable the railroads
ta compete with steamship lines in the moving of freight to
and from coast points. 'As it is now the railroads are forbid
tlen to meet this competition unless they scale down the short
haul rates to intermediate territory to the same level. The
roads can't do this and survive; so the result is the business
all goes to the boat linesthe roads have less traffic, the cities
of the interior get no lower freight rates, and railroad em
ployes get less employment.
I The railroads-are crippled by regulation because they
are not privileged to meet competition in a practical man
ner. A press release from the railway unions says:
1 "Nothing In the Pettengill bill alms to destroy waterway or
highway transportation. It only proposes to give the rail lines
an opportunity to serve the shipping public, on the basis of fair ,
competition. Rather than being left free to combat intercoastal
ship lines, railroads would still have their rates controlled by
the Interstate Commerce commission. This is a safe guarantee,
if any were needed, that ship and highway competition will not
be paralyzed by. modification of the 'long and short haul' clause."
f Bonus for More Milk
THE country has heard so much about milk surpluses, along
with surpluses of corn and cotton and hogs, it is something
I of a surprise to read in the McMinnville Telephone
Register that theNestle's Food Products plant there is offer
ing a bonus to dairymen "in respect to quantity production."
The bonuses, according to company announcement, call for
payment of five cents for each hundred pounds of milk de-
T livered during the half -monthly
amount delivered by the patron exceeds 150 pounds per day,
averaged the half-monthly period.
I As a result of the call for increased production dairymen
supplying the plant with milk are said to be planning on
increasing their herds. This is -in contrast with the actions
of the past few years when all the pressure was for reduc
ing the number of milkers. Condensery bids for milk are
even and a half cents over the butterfat base.
; This news" is heartening to the valley which long found
dairying about its best enterprise. Surpluses are still reported
in the fresh milk field; but prices remain firm and producers
are running at a profit.
- . Miscarriage of Justice
THE general public which gives offhand verdicts in im
portant cases by perusal of the evidence reported in news
j papers is deeply resentful of the verdict by a Multno
mah jury which gave manslaughter to George Fiedler ac
cused of the murder of Deputy Sheriff Loll. The preponder
ant majority of the jury favored a verdict of murder in first
or second degree; but a few hold-outs upset the verdict. The
'result is regarded not only as a miscarriage of justice, but
i serious reflection on the jury system.
i As the Oregpnian comments, .Fiedler thus escapes the
label of murderer, -though public sentiment feels the evidence
sustains that charge. He may even by appeals get this light
sentence lifted, and never can be convicted now for the of
fense as murder in first or second degree. The law in its
zeal to protect the innocent thus favors the guilty ; and when
the amazing process by which trials are carried out is con
sidered it is small wonder that so few murders go punished
in this country. - . -
( Ex-Senator Joe E. Dunne when Interviewed here this week told
Graphic reporter that If we would ive everyone a job at f 5 a day
we wouldn't hare to worry about pensions or relief. There never
was a truer statement, nor a more foolish one. Of course, it is so, but
Just how would Mr. Dunne or anyone else accomplish that Utopian
idea. Those- who scoff at the Townsend plan and call It fantastic,
ihould find satisfaction In this practical solution of the problem.
Sow if Mr. Dunne will just tell us who Is going to supply these well

"Uncle. Dan" to the Front
i :i Washington, Nor. 28'
tS regard to the secret political
surveys how being made by New
Deal investigators and agents
there are one
or two inter-
esting points
which have not
been Drought
out. One is that
the results of
some of these
surveys are be
ing reported di
rectly to Secre
tary of. Com
m e r c e Daniel
Roper, and not
to the great po
litical wizard,
Mr. Farley. It
it-
i
Frank B. Kent
is a fact! that at least one such
survey, suggested by sources very
close indeed to the President, was
made altogether without Mr. Far
ley's knowledge. There is reliable
information that Mr. Fatley ha3
not yet heard of this survey.
THERE may or there may not be
significance in this. It is present
ed merely as a statement of fact
and not jwith a view of proving
anything jfrom the political angle.
It Is truef that Mr. Farley is still
chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, ths' Democratic
State Committee fo New York
and Postmaster - General, and he
undoubtedly will conduct tae cam
paign for re-election. However,
aside from these surveys, there is
some reafeon for feeling that Mr.
Roosevelt! Is not regarding Mr.
Farley as his sole political agent
and not relying upon him as his
sole, or even chief, political ad
viser, i
SECRETARY ROPER, known to
his Intimites as "Uncle Dan," ha3
become closer to him politically in
the last f!ew months than before.
Mr. Roosevelt thinks highly fit the
Roper political judgment and is
disposed to take it above others.
This wlllj hardly increase the en
thusiasm ot the friends of Alfred
E. Smith; whom Uncle Dan fail
ed to support In 1928, but then
that is at a pretty low ebb any
how. There are some astute ob
servers who believe that In the
coming campaign Mr. Fancy will
be in charge of the detail, will
run headquarters and be the
front so fir as Administration pol
itics are concerned. He will con
tinue to put out the grand slam
predictions and to make the care
fully wrijtten for him "hurrah,
boys, hurrah," speeches. He will
not, however, have much to do
with strategy. That will be map
ped out by others behind the scene
and handed to him.
FOR example, one piece of Ad
ministration strategy has clearly
been decided upon without him
to wit, the Administration support
for re-election of Senator George
Norris in Nebraska. Mr. Roosevelt
has urged the Norris re-election.
Senator Guffey, chairman of the
Democratic Senatorial Committee,
announces that he will be support
ed by his organization. The Ad
ministration is with him. Yet Mr.
Farley is one of Senator Norris'
pet aversions. He has spoken most
unkindly pf Mr. Farley; makes no
secret that he regards him as a
blot, a blight and general Roose
velt liability.
ALSO, Senator Norris. if he runs,
must run! as a ReDnhliran nr!
Mr. Farley, loyal party man that
ne is, always is lor the Democrat.
It i8 true ! Mr. Roosevelt in nnHor
obligations to Senator Norrin whn
supported : mm in 1932 and has J
been a source of strength nrf
comfort to him in the Senate. But
SO Was the late Senator Rrnnunn
Cutting, of New Mexico. Yet Mr.
Kooseveit let Mr. Farley make a
bitter fight against Senator Cut
ting in 11934, which came very
close to beating him. It isn't easy
to reconcile the Roosevelt support
of Norris ij with his opposition to
Cutting. It must give Mr. Farley
a severe headache if he tries.
THE fact is there is an interest
ing little anti-Farley campaign go
ing on inside the Admin 1st mt Inn
The central Idea is that Jim is a
good fellow, thoroughly loyal and
all that, and the President 1 fond
of him. But, after all, he is not
really very smart. Moreover, he
has becomfe rather a weight in
New York! and a target in the
country. A? a mixer with tee boys
he is perfectly fine, but national
strategy is! a bit beyond h.m ex
cept when ;the tide is running hi3
way. That , in effect, is the tune
they sing.; On the other hand,
"Uncle Dan" is said to be an old
political fax, wily and seasoned in
the national game, whose i eal tal
ents as a strategist the President
i just beginning to appreciate.

Health
By Royal S. Copeland, AI.D.
AT THE angle of the jaw, just be
low the obe of the ear, la located an
important gland, It is a part of the
so-called salivary system which has
a necessary part in the preparation
and digestion of food.
Sometimes this gland becomes In
flamed or diseased. One of ths .com
mon disturbances of the parotid
gland, as Is called, Is familiar to
each or Ua. We know it as mumps.
Undoubtedly a germ of some sort
Is responsible for this infection but
It has Sever been discovered. We
think the disease is due to a germ
because tt 1s so highly contagious or
Infectious. The germs are carried by
the discharges of the mouth or nose
of an infected person. But they are
so very small they cannot be seen
under thf most powerful microscopa
Painful Disorder
Tfa rirthii of mumps shows the
rat signs of ths inflammation two
or tbrea weeka after exposure. The
stand becomea .painful and Inflamed.
The swelling reaches Its maximum
within two- er three days and may
tnvolve the entire aide of the face.
The degree pt swelling depends upon
the severity ! of the Inflammation. It
may b confined to one side or may
In vol v both sides of the face. One
gland la Involved in advance of the
other.
In mild: attacks there may be fever,
running las ! bifh as a hundred or
one hundred and one degreea In the
more severe attacks It may reach one
hundred 4nd two to one hundred and
four degrees. So you see the patient
feels pretty sick for a while.
jSpreada Rapidly
Because mumps- Is extremely con
tagious, when one case Is found in a
school or Institution the disease
rapidly spreads. It attacks children
between the ages of four and fifteen
years, but H i rarely found in In
fanta, Persons beyond middle age
very seldom have mumps.
Most cases are mild, with complete
recovery In a few days. As long as
the fever and great swelling continue,
the patient should remain in bed.
It Is advisable to protect the gland
by applying j to the cheek layers of
cloth, preferably flannel. If the pain
is severe cold or hot compresses
should he applied.
Never treat mumps lightly. The
disease Is ("catching" until the gland
Is ef normal size, or until the swelling-
has entirely disappeared. In the
adult serious .complications some
times result, In the female the
breasts and ovaries may become con
gested and swollen. In ths male, too,
the special organs may be affected.

(That places the location of the
school house, the Bits man be

with the "Painter's Wood" road.
That makes the site of the Sylvan

grounds of the state school for the

was on about the same east and
west line, or only a few rods north
of it.)
"A long string of gay and gal
lant men presided over that
school from year to year, until it
finally ran its course and kicked
in for want of pupils.
"My first teacher there was
Watson, a one-armed man and
that one was enough!

William Ramsay, a brilliant schol

house the name of Sylvan Bower,

By the end of May, Irene's apart
ment on Park Avenue, though far
front complete in its furnishings,
was already charming' as she and
Dirk sat at breakfast, in the break
fast nook that was just a shade too
quaint, she looked about her with
cratificauon.
"The apartment's beginning to
look quite livable, donft you think
so. Dirk darling-T"
"Charming-, dear. Franldy, I had
doubts about the place. I don't par
ticularly care for these box-like
rooms, but you have done wonders.
I like irregular rooms. Ions; halls.
oid-zashioned trappings like the
place we saw on Gramescy Park,
but I must admit that you ve con
trived to make this place look al
most as though we'd inherited it.
Do you know, I think I actually hats
new things. I resent them prob
ably because I don't recognize them.
You know what I mean, don't you?"
"res." She leaned over to kiss
him.
Irene was still in the chameleon
stage with Dirk. Since she had met
him she had shed her personal love
for new and g-litterine things she
even persuaded herself (after doing
some exhaustive research en the
subject) that she loved antiques,
and had managed with her usual
thoroughness to assemble a very
creditable replica of an English
gentleman s Home. Anastaaia, when
she saw her daughter's apartment
for the first time, thought it very
shabby and didn't hesitate to say
so. When Dirk was away, Irene
couldn't help thinking so, too, hot
the habit acquired during her
courtship of Dirk of appearing to
snare an nis tastes etui had a grip
on ner.
Irene poured herself coffee from
the silver urn. "Reconciled to liv
ing on Park Avenue, darling?"
He grinned. "According to fiction
and the movies, I guess we're the
only j respectable family on Park
Avenue."
"Nonsense. Mama's respectable.
That makes two families."
"We're simply slaying the tradl-
tlAM
"Oh, dear, mama's having trouble
with her maid again?" She low
ered her voice as her trim maid
brought in a packet of mail and laid
it on the table. "There's not a maid
alive can work for her. She's the
world's worst tyrant."
"Oh, I say, I like her. It seems
to me you're always ragging her."
"Nonsense. I adore her. I al
ways think of her as' our very own
commander-in-chief. Why, if I miss
seeing her one day I begin to pine
for her actually.";
Dirk drained his cup. "I've got to
fly, sweet. There's a secial workers'
conference at ten at the Russell
Sage Foundation."
Dirk, do you really like social
workers?"
"They're not so bad. No more
fatuous than any other group of
people, although some of the intense
females are a little trying."

Finishes Address .
Before going! to the annual
holiday festival meal Mr. Roose
velt concluded work on the ad
dress he will deliver tomorrow In
Atlanta at the homecoming cele-l
miles. She managed It so that there
was no possibility of her sisters run
ning in on her unless they phoned
first , or were invited. Mama, of
course, couldn't be held down by
either grandeur or formality, but
Irene determined to see less and
less of her.
Her main worry, of course,, was
ths salon. She yearned to give it
up. From a source of pride, it be
came a sore spot with her that she
was tied down to a kmsiness even,
though the new friends she was
making as Dirk's wife said they
envied her actually seemed to
envy her, in fact having some
thing vital te de. Irene's lip curled
when the women told her this. It
was getting te be quite the thing
for society women to go into busi
ness; dress shops run by members
of the Junior League were becom
ing as common as fleas. Interior
decorating was considered very '
elite, even the stage - and, in an
apologetic way, the movies. But as
Irene grimly told Walter, it's one
thing te go in gracefully for a
career and quite -another matter to
have to hold one's job in order to
meet expenses! -
Of -course, so far as Dirk wsa
concerned, he had wanted them to
live simply and inexpensively with
in his income. He had an additional
small income from his investments
and she would have been able to
give up the sslon. " They had
threshed the matter all out. Bnt
Irene had no desire to live simply
and so she decided to keep on at
the salon and pay her share of the
maintenance of the elaborate men.
