i , Mixing the Parties i I -
P. GIANNINI, San Francisco banker, head of Trans-
America and Bank of America, has endorsed Pres.
Roosevelt for reelection. Most bankers are regarded as
hostile to the new deal, so the Giannini endorsement is some
thing out of the ordinary. Some critics' say that the new
deal was very kind to Bank of America at the time of the
bank holiday and that its head has reason to be. grateful.
All that aside, we consider it beneficial to the country for
some banking and business support to be extended to Mr.
Roosevelt. A division strictly on lines of economic cleavage
would be a misfortune for the country. It has been a whole
some thing for the parties in this country to embrace in their
memberships rich and poor, persons of high and low estate.
In many respects the new deal suffers from a lack of
newspaper support, and this is bad too; because newspapers
ought not to be unanimous in their views. Even the "wrong"
side needs an exponent and interpreter. This newspaper
shift has been remarkable. It is recalled how the president
had the White House correspondents all eating out of his
hand when he entered office. They were fed up on the dour
and uncommunicative Hoover and he was mercilessly
grilled by the press. Mrs. Roosevelt gave them food and drink
on a cold night and these correspondents, as skeptical and
critical a bunch as ever assembled, were captured by the
Roosevelts. What happened to sour the soup?. Something
must have, because the correspondents no longer seem cap
tivated by Rooseveltian glamour. L ,
It may be said that the Washington correspondents
write what their bosses back home want them to write. That
may be true to some extent, but the independent writers are
not beholden, and some of them are the severest critics of
the present administration. i
To revert to our thesis : it is dangerous for the country
to have sentiments so unanimous with respect tp so mottled
a program as the new deal. An intelligent j person cannot
condemn it all without reservation ; and no intelligent person
can endorse it all without reservation. Bankers of less con
servative tj-pe, like Giannini and Eccles, see no danger in
rapidly rising national indebtedness. Let them express them
selves to that effect. Others are convinced that down the
'deficit road lies chaos; let them speak out with words of
warning. Likewise with newspapers and journalists and
publicists; it would be well to have frank expressions of dif
ferences of opinion. The greatest danger lies in too great a
unanimity, in too much regimentation of thought. I
In congress for example the new deal itself has suffered
for lack of powerful and aggressive opposition. The first
congress under Mr. Roosevelt acquiesced blindly and dumbly
in whatever legislation was handed down from the white
house. The second congress had its eyes opened and was bold
enough to speak sotto voce in the lobbies in criticism of
much that was offered, but few there were to speak out in
challenging tones. New deal legislation suffers from lack of
having to face a tough and fighting opposition, r
We should distrust a republican party composed only
of bankers and industrialists. We should distrust a demo
cratic party composed only of college professors and labor
union organizers. The republicans can afford to spare a few
bankers in exchange for leaders of labor; and goodness
knows the democrats will need the bankers if they are re
turned to power. '- "
Pipe for Water Mains
THE choice of materials on a big construction job is sure
to excite spirited activity among! sponsors of various
materials. For the water line from Stayton island feasible
materials are steel pipe, concrete pipe, and creosoted stave
pipe of Douglas f hv Each material has its merits and its
limitations- as to cost, durability and feasibility. Where pres
sures are very heavy steel pipe is regarded as better. Where
pressures are low concrete or wood pipe is practical. Engineer
Koon is said to be recommending steel pipe for the intake
and line under the river, concrete pipe for the upper section
where the pressure is low, and steel pipe for the lower section
where pressure is heavy. The life of the former if the job
is well done is indefinite; for steel the claims are up to sixty
years and for wood with creosote treatment up to fifty years.
Wood pipe is said to be considerably less expensive than
steel pipe, except where heavy pressure would require heavy
banding. 11
It is up to the city council committee to study the merits
of the materials thoroughly. The recommendation of the
engineer is entitled to great weight and should not be over
ruled unless for very clear and impressive reasons. Salem
does not want to buy any inferior material ; at the same time
it wants all it can get for, its money. Other things being
equal preference naturally should be given to products of
Oregon material and fabrication. Above all, the entire nego
tiations for materials and for award of contracts should be
open and above board so there may be no breath of scandal
Drouth Relief and Politics
THE Capital Journal chides us with being too partisan in
strictures on the rush of federal officials to the drouth
belt. Perhaps so; but our authority, in part,' was Paul
Mallon, the Journal's own Washington writer, who wrote
in its Wednesday issue : "Messrs. Wallace j and Hopkins
have been rushing to the aid of the drought areas so fast
they are already a couple of miles ahead of the technical
forecasters who are trying to find out the ultimate scope and
effect of it Mallon went on to imply the political angle of
distribution of funds in the drought belt when he said,
speaking of how Lemke guessers were raising their hopes
because of farmer wrath, "they really do not' know yet how
much money the new dealers will put into the area to cool
off the wrath." 1 !
The plight of the drought belt excites human sympathy
and justifies measures for relief. We will withdraw any
imputation of political significance in the extension of relief
if Mr. Farley and the democrats will not follow up this fall
with ballyhoo about "gratitude", and pressure for votes
because of the money spent. ,
The Multnomah tax commission law was knocked out ss an
unlawful delegation of legislative power. That was the basis by which
the supreme court of the United States ruled against the NRA and
the AAA. Yet the Portland Journal.. which hails the Oregon decision
as triumph of rirtue and good government,-damns the supreme
court of the United States for applying the same principle of con
stitutional law." - ......... :
Just how many" leagues, associations and societies are there
working for World peace? And every one has a secretary and head
quarters and most of them are passing the hat for money. Peace,
like sleep, ia a blessed thing, beloved from pole to pole. But people
seem to disagree violently on how It is to be secured.
Sen. Borah urges use of a tariff on farm products to keep out
imports of agricultural-products. He also berates monopoly. The best
bresker-up of monopoly we know Is a little foreign competition. How
long would fixed steel prices last if the tariff barriers were lowered

THE STATEMENT Is made by a

Inquiry from newspaper men and
others in attendance appears to
confirm this statement Not one
can recall so much "as a men
tion of the prohibition amend
ment and the President's kiia-
cess In forcing Its repeal In ree-i

IT IS, Indeed, a singular thing

oratory there should bare been

Ject. Yet a search of the text of
tne major speeches for example.
tnose or the temporary chair
man. Senator Berkley! (the long
est keynote oration on record)
and ot the permanent chairman.
Senator Robinson fsernn niv
to Berkley's Is lenrthl fails tn
reveal a word about repeal. Every
one of the fifty-three seconding
speeches dwelt heavily upon the'
Rooserelt opening of the banks.
Not a single speaker missed on
mat. it was the favorite key
which every orator struck, and
nothing else was overlooked. But
ir, rrom start to finish, there
was so much as a whisner about
repeal -It cannot be recalled.
WHAT IS the exolan&tion? Th
omission was so unanimous that
It seems deliberate. Yet it is hard
to see how It con Id
Certainly repeal was an outstand
ing acuitsicmcui. More man mat,
it was one nromise Mr. TCrtnuA-
velt made in isaa which he re
deemed promptly and ! fully.
Praise for him was to have been
expected. It was his due. It
would hare been deserved.
ThrOUXh him. it could h Maim.
ed, an obnoxious amendment to
the Constitution had been elim
inated. It was something of which
he could be croud. In the face
of all that, not to so much as
mention the matter appears al
most Incredible. A great deal has
been made bv bis onoonenta nt
his repudiation of the 1932 plat
form. Here was one pledge to
which he could point as carried
out not only In the snirit hot
to the letter. It is even , harder
to unaerstana tne ignoring of
this Roosevelt achievement when
It Is appreciated that the Mn.
trast between the Roosevelt wet
ness and the former nolltlcal dry
ness of Governor Landon could
be so strikingly made.
INQUIRY AS TO the reasons for
this remarkable silence erokes
from certain sractlcal nolittcal
sources two suggestions, which
explain perhaps as well as anv.
One Is that if repeal were put
forward as a Roosevelt
plishment it at once would re
vive recollections that in the
fight against ' prohibition Mr.
Roosevelt was not really a lead
er at all: that the lata Alhttrt
C. Ritchie, Alfred E. Smith, the
Du Ponts, Mr. Raskob, Mr.
Shouse and others now no longer
his friends took a far earlier and
far more effective nart In that
great battle than he. It would
aiso recall that In IS 32 the ori
ginal platform approved by Mr.
Roosevelt . did not contain, a
straight repeal plank; that the
Roosevelt plank differed little
from the Hoover "straddle,"
which he later fiercely denoun
ced; that the plank adopted was
forced on him by Smith. Ritchie
ami other uncompromising wets.
THE OTHER reason suggested is
even more Interesting. The re
peal easiness was not played up.
it is said, because. of the desire
not to alienate further from Mr.
Roosev!t the clerrvmen of the
COUntrr. most of whom nrm Arw
and many of whom deeply re
sented tne White House effort a
year ago to take them into camp
through a bogus "personal let
ter." It will be recalled that in
1935 a large number of ministers
received a letter purporting , to
come irom Mr. Koosevelt person
ally, asking that , they write him
giving their advice and riews. A
considerable number responded in
good faith. Then it was discov
ered that the letter was "nho.
ney." that it was an old political
dodge letter copied verbatim from"
one sent out some six months
before by Gov. Philip La Follette
(great friend of the President)
to Wisconsin clergymen. i
WHEN THIS was revealed. Mr.
Roosevelt got a lot of pretty hot
replies from Indignant clergymen,
properly resentful at what seem
ed a cheap political trick. Vari
ous polls since taken " Indicate a
majority of clergymen unfriend
ly to the New Deal. Not many
weeks ago the Rev. Stanley High,
former editor of the Christian
Herald, was taken on as a Roose
velt campaign helper. The Demo
cratic National Committee is fin
ancing Mr. High's activities. He
has organized a so-called "Good
Neighbor League from which he
draws a salary and which Is an
adjunct of the National .Commit
tee. The belief, however. Is .that
Mr. High concentrates on writ
ing campaign speeches and art!
cles and on trying to win the
ministers over. In 1930 he was
an ardent . dry. He announced
about that time a plan (later
abandoned) for publi'ing a dry

Health
By Royal S. Copeland, 5I.O.
, ASTHMA IN a child, on of the
most difficult problems -presented the
physician. It Is bad enough tn its
acute form. But it is Uo the fore
runner of chronic asthma not Infre
quently found among adults. i
: Asthma la nofci an infectious dis
ease. It is not -catching". Yet. it is
a real menace to,, the general health.
When It attacks the very young child
It often leads te complication. These
may Interfere with the; growth and
normal development, f !
The actual cause of asthma is not
known. Several known! factors play
an Important part in producing : it.
Heredity influences most cases. The
histories of more than SO per cent
of the sufferers from asthma show
that one or the other parent had the
disease. A generation may be missed
but It Is In a sense "in the Mood.
Children with asthma are frequent
ly the victims of certain associated
diseases. They may suffer from at
tacks of sick headache, tflxzineas and
certain disturbances of the akin.
like the adult, the yftung sufferer
from asthma is "allergic' to certain
substances. . By this la meant that
the victim Is hypersensitive to some
foods or materials which have no
unpleasant effect on the arerare per
son. These substances may be air
borne, taken in , throagh the breath
ing organs. '-".!--.
May Be TealiU
In most instances - the unhappy
child has some disturbance in the
lymphoid tissues of the body. For
example, the tonsils may be diseased
or adenoids may be present. Some
times the nasal sinuses are not nor
mal. In any event there is a sensi
tivity to protein substances and asth
matic attacks are frequent.
It is well to have diseased and en
larged tonsils removed. 'The same is
true of adenoids. X-iay pictures
should be taken to determine whether
or not the nasal sinuses are Involved.
"Special akin tests should be made
to determine whether some substance
is having an allergic effect. If such
sensitiveness is found. It. Is often pos
sible to evercoma tt by the Injection
ot an appropriate vaccine.
The diet Is Important. v Since milk
and eggs are common offenders, often
leading to asthmatlo attacks, they
may be omitted from the diet to see
If benefit results. Other foods such
as fish, fruits and cereals may prove
irritating. ;; v

"KING OF
CHAPTER XV "
Zola had reservations on a bal
cony which commanded a view of
two streets along the route of the
Rex parade. She and Lynn laughed
and talked together as they watched
the antics of street revelers, await
ing the pageant. There seemed to
be no end to the astonishing revela
tions of this festival; Lynn reflected
as Zola continued with explanations
of its customs and traditions.
At last the long-awaited spectacle
approached, in all its regal splendor.
The procession climaxed that of
Proteus,' because it was the pag
eant of Rex, the king. His was the
first float, surmounted by its glit
tering throne. The crowds roared
with cheers of enthusiasm. "Hail te
the Kingl- "Hurrah for His Car
nival Majesty lM The shout arose
like a mighty chorus from a deep
throated organ.- "All hail, Rex our
Kingl-
Tne throne surpassed all sybari
tieal conceptions of oriental gran
deur. Jewels studded the golden
creation and flashed their facets in
the bright sunshine. Behind the
king, his jeweled and ermine-bordered
mantle spread its splendor to
the end of the long float, where uni
formed pages stood at servile atten
tion. The king accepted the cheers of
the merrymakers with gallant ges
tures ana friendly smiles. From a
chest at his side he selected glitter
ing tokens and tossed them to his
admiring subjects. They caught at
the baubles with eager glee and tri
umph glowed on their faces. Lynn
felt her breath catch ia her throat
as the royal float moved before
their balcony and Jack smiled di
rectly at her. His elevstion on the
throne placed him on almost the
same level and, as he passed before
her he sainted, aimed carefully and
tossed her a favor which she caught
in her outstretched hands. It was
a rosette of white ribbon which held
a ring - set with a large square
crystal. She kneV that it was a
bawdy trinket and that the stone
was only glass, because Doti had
told her that the favors were dime
store Jewelry but the significance
of the gift set her heart racing
and, for a moment, the chaos of
color and sound swam dizzily before
her eyes. With an effort she ad
justed their focus to watch the
float disappearing into the con
fusion of the avenue. Her laughter
mingled with Zola's as they in
spected the , ring, but -- aha was
vaguely relieved when the pageant
again claimed their attention.
They discovered Doti and her at
tendants on the float of Roman
myths, with Doti as Iris the messen
ger of the gods and posing upon the
rainbow road which ahe traveled.
Each of the girls tossed Lynn a
favor, which she hoarded with the
ring in her handbag, but with much
less significance.
Finally, it was over, and the king
had returned to his den for another
year, while the crowds rushed to
their homes to prepare, for the innu
merable balls of the evening. That
majority which was not favored by
membership or invitation to attend
either the ball of Sex or that of the
next important court of Comus,
would celebrate with public and
private balls of all kind and pro
portion. ' -
"YouTl have time for a wee nap

trifle apprehensive about this eve
nihg with Dewey. But she hoped
that he would keen his word with
her and permit her to enjoy every
delightful moment without concern
rot ais personal attentions. i!
Excitement and happy confusion
filled the Merchon mansion. There
was an atmosphere about it which
felt like a pulse throbbing with
tense emotion. Even the servants
betrayed a discreetly suppressed
jubilance and their high cackling
laughter echoed from rear quarters
with frequent repetitions, intT-
spersed with snatches of high
pitched i song. The day of Mardi
Gras was always a special dsy of
zesure spirits, but when the daugh
ter of the house was queen, there
was reason for even more jubilance.
Old Mattie made a ritual of pre
paring the royal dinner and Andy
served It with deferential homage.
Doti arrived home late that after
noon with Jack, bright-eyed and
chattering volubly of the day's
events. She rushed into Lynn's
shaded room which had been shat
tered against the glaring sun for
thst rest her aunt had suggested.
But : she could not sleep. Her
thoughts were too chaotic, her im
pressions of strange scenes and
strange, people toe vivid and dis
turbingj The shining glass-set ring
was treasured deeply Is her dressing-case,
and her memory burnfd
with the smile of a tall youth with
crisp black hair.
How was the pageant? Did yoa
like it? How did I look? Doti's
questions pattered into the room like
sudden i large raindrops into the
serene summer day. . M
Lynn goaded her enthusiasm to
generous response until Lulu ap

with brown hearts were massed ia
the center of the table, which lent
an exotie touch to the established
and traditional. The house was a

Lynn felt somewhat like Alice in
Wonderland, stepped into a glitter
ing mirror of fantasy and delight.
And when Colonel Merchon emerged
from his room after dinner, garbed
as a beaded Arab and presently
Zola swayed down the broad Colo
nial stairs as a languorous Cleo
patra; Lynn wondered if she might
not have gone suddenly, and de
lightfully mad.
And did not care. For the first
time in her life, she felt as if she
belonged, as- if she might emerge
confidently from her aloof retire
ment and become a natural part of
this strange drama. - She sensed
within her a' genetic endowment
which her exiled life had denied her.
and for the first time she doubted
her mother's right to have) taken
all this from her. By inheritance,
she had a right to all Doti pos
sessed; by environment, she nad
nothing. But this night was hers.
Until midnight, she could be a gsy
Cinderella at the king's ball. After
midnight what?
No pumpkin coach, even with the
influence of magic, could have com
pared with the speed and comfort
of Dewey's motor car which flew .
through the air by its own magic
power, at his command. In spite of
being a very modern girl who lived
in a very modern city, Lynn had
rarely been driven about in auto
mobiles. The few people whom she
knew well did not possess them,
and she seldom went about with
anyone who did. Yet here, where
walking would be-a delight, she
never stepped outdoors that a car
did not await her.
Dewey was In a charming mood.
Like all soldiers of fortune, he was
at his best when he started on a
new conquest. He looked at her
closely for a moment in the indi
rect light of the dashboard. "You're
real then," he decided, with a quiz
zicrl smile. I was afraid you might
have disappeared over night
you're- so beautiful, you know. I
thought you wouldn't last like a
delicate flower." - -
"Don't be absurd. aha lanrhed.
Td stay for tonight, anyway. I
came here especially for tonight"
Im glad somethinff hrous-ht
you," he leaned toward her confi
dentially. Lynn could not have explained
the momentary revulsion which she
felt at his nearness, but she was
aware ot it even -while she tried to
dismiss it with the pleasure she
knew should be hers in having this
gallant escort for the Rex ball of
Mardi Gras. She tried to imagine
Susanna's excitement and delight in
her situation, but her power of pro
jection failed at the very beginning.
It was so much easier to imagine
being with Jack like this No, she
disciplined - herself - severely, - ahe
would not think about Jack like that.
If she did, even for a moment, her
mind went berserk and she lost all
control of her imagination.
' It was the same while they were
watching the dazzling pageant of
Comus. vSitting beside Dewey and
hearing his voice close beside her in
the medley of surrounding sounds,
she did not find the spectacle so
alluring and exciting by any por
tion of a degree as upon the previous
night when Jack had sat beside her.
