This Looks Interesting
TIJITH Senator Borah going through the gestures of a can-
4 didate f or the presidency, popular interest in the 1936
- competition will, perk up at once. Bdrah alone of the re
publicans mentioned, except Herbert Hoover, is a national
figure of consequence. Most of the others have acquired some
color by virtue of having their names attached to presiden
tial booms; but Borah brings prestige already acquired in
long years of senatorial service and campaigning on public
questions. When as seasoned a politician as Ralph E. Wil
liams, Oregon's republican national committeeman, gives
out interviews indicating a drift to Borah, then it is safe to
conclude Borahill be a real: factor.
Ordinarily Borah would be counted out. He is too inde
pendent to have much of a personal following from any ele
ment in the party. He is an inflationist, a free silverite and
a bonus-payer, which runs counter to the ideas of most of
the party traditionists. On the other hand he is a strong con
stitutionalist and foe of much of the alphabetical experimen-
"'tation of the present administration. Borah belongs in the
column "tod late (or too hard) to classify". But what makes
the Borah candidacy more formidable is the possibility of
. his gaining backing of Townsend supporters.
Borah has not committed himself on the Townsend plan.
It is reported that he introduced Dr. Townsend at the Boise
meeting. Other candidates, Landon of Kansas and Knox of
Illinois, have expressed themselves in frank opposition to
the plan. If Borah should endorse the plan or acquiesce in
. support from that quarter he will have a bloc of supporters
already organized. -
Nineteen hundred thirty-six is going to be a stirring cam
paign year, make no mistake. The democrats are going to
labor to retain their power; and insofar as Farley and Emil
, Hurja can do it they will trace every federal check for a
vote whether reliefer, jobholder, or supplier of material.
Nineteen hundred thirty-four will seem little consequence in
comparison. On the other hand the disaffected elements will
muster against Roosevelt. The correct republican position,
it would seem, is conservative as against Roosevelt's easy
spending, distorted finances, and unorganized program. But
Borah may endeavor to out-Roosevelt Roosevelt, which would
be bitter medicine for republican conservatives.
. .
Strengthening Justice -
OREGON district attorneys favor changing the law so as
to permit introduction as evidence of pictures of per
sons murdered. It is a reasonable modification, in the in
terest of justice. Pictures are the modern method of record
ing history. Movies are how used to determine winners in
races. Where there is a question the pictures are re-run, slow
motion. In the recent trial in Portland for the murder of a
. deputy sheriff the death mask of the victim was ruled out.
It showed the bullet entered from behind, which would go
- to prove the killer did not fire in self-defense. In that case the
defendant got off with manslaughter, a notorious miscar
riage of justice. .
It is not sufficient to make more efficient police forces
if the courts bungle after the detectives bring in the guilty.
This lalldown of justice goes beyond the mere difficulties
due to technicalities that operate for the benefit of the ac
cused. They reach to the juries who are sometimes craven
or too sympathetic or too ignorant to appraise evidence. A
recent Portland jury let off two young men who confessed
they were guilty of criminal assault on a girf. In contrast
with these jury deficiencies is the case of the jury at Port
Orchard which found Leo Hall guilty of the mass murders
near Bremerton and directed that the death penalty be imposed.
Frank, C. Walker has done the disappearing .act in Washing
ton again. He's FDR's favorite in the musion business. He pops in
to "coordinate" the new deal machinery; then after a few months
in .which do one sees any less friction in the bearings, he pops bat.
Gossip la that he has popped out this time to pop back soon as suc
cessor to Jim Farley In the postof flee. Farley, It seems. Is finding
out he wUl not be able to reelect FDR with one hand tied behind
his back; though it it were loose in the postoff hre it might help.
Trial by a jury of one's peers is an old phrase in the law. In
England it means an accused may be tried by commoners if a com
moner himself, or by the house of peers if apeer. Charged with man
slaughter In an auto accident case, Edward Southwell Russell, Lord
de Clifford, is demanding trial by his "peers"; and getting it. the
first trial in the house of lords for a long time; and perhaps the last
for it will cost about $20, O00 and Britishers are thinking of ending
the old rule.
B. F. Irvine, editor of the Portland Journal, is "guest conductor"
of special column in Editor and Publisher, the newsorgan for
newspaper workers. In it he sets down the instructions given him'
by C S. Jackson, now deceased, who was founder and publisher of
the Journal: "Always put the public interest above any private in
terest, even above the private interest of the proprietor of The Jour
nal." It's a irood resolution; and one that Editor Irvine has followed
with fidelity. 1 ,
The newsphoto which won first place for "spot? pictures in a
New York exhibition was one which showed a city street scene with
an automobile turned on its side, a figure prostrate on the sidewalk
and in the doorway a man standing grief -stricken. He had been at
tracted to the scene by the crowd; and found it was his wife who lay
dead on the walk. There Indeed was compressed tragedy from real
life.
President Roosevelt took a dig In his Atlanta speech at some of
his opponents, referring to them as well-fed and members of well
stocked clubs. Papers this week contain pictures of the inside of the
White House refrigerator, showing pheasant, quail and duck. From
California he is getting a 100-lb. cake; so the sleek clubmen appear
to have nothing over the president when It comes to victuals.
The Medford Mail-Tribune is the first this year to reprint the
famous New York Sun "letter to Virginia" proclaiming faith In Santa
Claus. Virginia herself, grown and a mother herself, is qnoted as not
being so sure about Santa Claus after all. Perhaps her loss of faith
is because she has to meet Santa's Mils now.
Hollywood is having quite a stir over the mysterious death of
- blonde actress. She died with alcohol and carbon monoxide in her
brain, which of course Is a bad blend for any one; though a serious
thought would have been as quickly fatal to a blonde actress.
Signs are that the acid, test in 1936 will be "Are you for the
Townsend plan?" It la expected to work just as well as "free elec
tricity without. cost to the taxpayers'' did in 1930; and to produce
bout the same results.
Score one against this column
was used Friday. Rather hard to
than self-imposed.
; Portland will remain an ox-cart town. The city council turned
down plans for building .two. arterial ways through the west side.
With our log-cabin we can sympathize with the town down the river.
- From the amount of whiskey advertising and promotion It

of Politics

But One is Just Playing
Washington, Dec. 20.
VIEWED from the practical angle
the republican situation seems
simple enough and can be briefly
stated. The par
ty has two out
standing per
sonalities Mr.
H o o t e r and
Senator Borah
n e 1 1 her of
whom, it is
h e 1 d, can be
nominated, and
neither of
whom if nomi
nated would be
supported b y
the friends of
the other.
CONCEDING the necessity for
unity, the obvious republican
problem is to nominate a candi
date whom both Mr. Hoover and
Mr. Borah can strongly support.
standing him upon a platform to
which they both can subscribe
These are the only two republi
cans with a real personal follow
ing. Mr. Hoover's, it is true, is
very much larger than Mr. Bo
rah's, but the Borah following
does exist. In regard to personal
strength they are .in a class by
themselves. Most observers be
lieve with with a Hoover - Borah
supported ticket, Mr. Roosevelt,
against whom the tide Is clearly
running now, can be beaten easi
ly; with either disaffected, the
Roosevelt chances are enhanced.
IF, for different reasons, they
share the widely held conviction
that the issues involved transcend
in importance party or personal
considerations and that the Roose
velt reelection would be a nation
al disaster if they share that be
lief, then it does seem to put
things pretty squarely up,to them.
There may be other ways- by
which the republicans can win be
sides getting Mr. Hoover and Mr.
Borah united in support of the
ticket, but that seems the surest
and most logical way. The more
thoughtful republicans in Wash
ington are in accord about that.
How then, they asked themselves.
is the necessary formula for
achieving unity to be found?
IT Is agreed that getting them in
a room together is not the way.
They too sincerely dislike each
other for that. Nor is it likely It
could be done by second-hand ne
gotiation by mutual friends. The
fact is there is no way unless both
are sufficiently concerned about
the new deal defeat to Tise above
every small feeling, sacrifice the
desire to dominate and shelve his
pet ideas, preferences and perlu-
dices. That Mr. Hoover is capable
of doing this Is the belief of his
friends. There is more doubt
about Mr. Borah. The reason is
that Mr. Hoover is much more se
rious In hte conviction that the
new deal is a national menace and
the country cannot stand four
more years of it.
MR. BORAH, on the other hand.
has supported some of the more
questionable new deal measures
(the potato-control bill for one).
is in no position to get indignant
over either currency tinkering or
extravagance, and in general, has
become deeply in earnest only ov
er the suspension of the anti-trust
laws and the monopolistic tenden
cy. The fact is Mr. Borah appears
rather devoid of flaming convic
tions about the new deal. He has
been almost solicitously tender to
ward Mr. Roosevelt personally,
has not seemed greatly outraged
over the contempt with which the
constitution Is treated, the terrif
ic waste of the people's money or
the concentration of legislative
power in the hands of individuals
In brief, he has contributed little
toward the Indictment of this ad
ministration. The real indict
ment is made by Mr. Hoover. The"
Borah guns are not leveled at a
target. He hag been firing in the
air. There Is also the suspicion
that the Borah presidential boom
is promoted for publicity purposes
and to permit of a convention dra
matization that will help insure
his reelection to the senate in
Idaho.
CONCEDING ALL this, it still is
true that Senator Borah has real
power to harm or help. His sup
port counts second only to that
of Mr. Hoover. If Mr. Borah Is
vigorously for the ticket he can
be of great help. If he sulks as
in 1932 or takes to the woods as
In 1912, or finds some point to
use as an alibi for dissent, he can
do a lot of harm. It is possible to
win without him, but it would
help the republicans very much in
the west, to have him on the
stnmp. The strength of Mr. Hoo
ver's conviction, it Is held, is suf
ficient to insure him doing every
thing .he can for any candidate
not obviously bad. There is no
surety that Mr. Borah is autfi
ciently concerned to cooperate to
ward finding the formula, and
there is no way of gauging the
strength of his feeling. The be
sic fact about Senator Borah is.

Thar Is an old saying that "what
Is one man's food Is another man's
poison". It Is not at all unusual to
run Into a person wdo suners un

the other food, perfectly safe for the
average man to take. These symp
toms indicate an allergy to that food.

years that relief and In many cases.
complete cura have been made pos
sible. This happy state of affairs ha
bein materially promoted by our bet
ter understanding or the part allergy
plays in many cases of this affliction.
Victims Ara AlUrgic
A great many victims af asthma
ara allergic, that is. they suffer tha
effects or ailergy. Those who have
hay fever, eczema and certain other
disturbances are unfortunate In that
they possess undue sensitivity to one
substance or another.
It will be readily seen that relief
Is possible only when the offending
substance Is detected and removed
from the routine of the sufferer. This
Is accomplished by the process of
elimination after a careful study of
all the food substances consumed.
One after another, the effect of each
food la studied. The patient Is care
fully observed for any unpleasant
reaction. This procedure la tedious
and must be prolonged over a con
siderable length of time, but it. is es
sential to the discovery of the of
fending material.
Since most of the allergic sub
stances are among those foods known
as proteins. It Is possible to locate
the evil one by the use of what are
called "skin tests'. Extracts of many
proteins bave been made and by In
jecting Into the skin a tiny quantity
of each, the nature of the reaction
will quickly determine the offending
substance.
Locate Infections
Once this is found and eliminated
from the diet or It It Is something
that reaches the victim from his en
vironment and can be gotten rid of.
relief is soon obtained. In some cases
great relief follows the use of a vac
cine made from the offending sub
stance. In every case of asthma the suf
ferer should be given a complete
physical examination. AH centers of
Infection, like diseased tonsils, nasal
sinuses, adenoids, appendix and gall

manent relief Is to be expected.
Do not be misled by the old-fashioned
belief that asthma Is an Incur
able disease. Ten see It need not be.
Bear In mind, too. that prolonged at
tacks of asthma are weakening and
dangerous. Since there la every hope
of relief, go forward In the deter
mination to get rid of the disease.
