Candidates
THERE came through the mails the other day an envelope
with a Spokane datemark, containing folders purporting
- . v :i ttf -ii n sr 1 - ii'eA w v
to give me lowaown oi wiuis wanuney, uhb-uiub majrv
and city clerk of Tekoa, Wash., now mayor of Klamath Falls
and candidate on the democrat-Townsend ticket for United
States senator. One, of the folders was signed "A Spokane
democrat", which is authentic, because there are several up
..there. -: v j - ".:
Now we note that State Chairman Priaulx of the re
publicans has issued a disclaimer, both . general 'and specific
against being party to any such form of campaigning in
order to elect the republican candidate, Charles H. McNary.
The disclaimer ought not to be needed, because responsible
f party heads as a rule do not mess up in such peddling of
personal charges. - ' . -
- There seems to be a sort of noblesse oblige by which
party, organizations abstain from uncovering the lid on the
. opposition candidate's past. It is Hke the protection which
armies in the world war are charged with extending to
enemy munition works. The theory of not calling the other
candidate a liar and a crook may be the fear j that he will
'do the same to your own candidate. That is the only plausible
explanation. In the 1930 campaign Os West rented the Port
land armory to tell "the truth" about Julius Meier, but at
the eleventh hour some hand (his wife's, Os said) restrained
him; so the "truth" was never told. It wouldn't have made
- any difference anyway. The people were hell-bent for Meier
jfcj inheritor of the Joseph mantle, and no blackening of hs
character -would stop them. - I v-
This use of personalities in a campaign Js something
whoseeffect is difficult to judge. A candidate may be a man
of almost impeccable virtue, but some critic will find a tiny
bit of fault with him, use it skillfully; and presto, he is
defeated. Again, some candidate may be notorious as a scoun
drel and a crook, and the people will not hold it against him,
electing him in spite of his, personarreputation. There is no
explanation for this blind spot
is just one of those things in social psychology .wnich makes
politics intensely interesting. f I
These yarns about Mahbney-may.be all true. They were
used against him two years ago when he ran for governor.
But those who support him will pay no attention to what
they dig up on him over in Washington. They' will even
concede the truth of the-charges, and still be loyal. For
tunately a sufficient number of people know he is just a
political mountebank, crazy for a good-paying job. Even
the' democrats are deserting him for McNary.
THE report from Astoria covering the 1936 fishing season
is that the pack was 17 per cent under 1935 and 30 per
cent under-1934. It is also reported that the shortage oc
curred despite the fact that the season was uninterrupted
by labor' troubles,' which last year cut the season 15 days
short. Also, the report says that the payroll fell under one
million dollars for the first time in ; the history of the
industry there. !
What is the explanation? One is due. ''
Some years ago the state of Oregon, in response 'to
pleas of fishermen at the river mouth, barred certain types
of fishing gear on the upper river. It was urged that such
action was necessary to prevent depletion of the fish run;
and it was further predicted that by. stopping the taking of
salmon in the narrows, as they were bound for spawning
grounds, the annual runs would be increased or at least
preserved. . j
- This prohibition of traps and seines on the upper river
- has been in effect for some years and the state should be
able to see the results of the closure. Since Astoria promoted
the initiative to close the upper river for gear, it should be
called on to explain why the results are not coming up to
expectations nowrJike many other people, we ; voted for the
initiative with virtually no knowledge of the fishing business,
in the hope that it would preserve and build up the industry.
,,.Nowf we wonder, what the answer will be. We are sure the
very competent Astorian-Budget will have one; and we
would like to hear it. . ' f ' !
Bishop GaUagher's Interview; f
BISHOP Gallagher of the Detroit diocese has just returned
from a, trip to Rome. In his interview on arrival he made
it clear that he stands right behind his famous radio
priest, Father Coughlin. .While criticising the priest for
calling the president a liar, the bishop not only defends his
liberty to speak but seemingly puts the power of holy church
behind Coughlin's program. After praising the priests's at
tack on communism and his interpreting the papal encyclicals
on social questions, the Detroit bishop said:
"It is the voice of God speaking through the holy faier
and reaching you through the orator of Royal Oak.
"I hope you never lose courage and continue to rally
behind him until victory rests on the banners of .the National
Union for Social Justice." -. - j
This appears to mear that, the Catholic church is en
dorsing the political program of Father Coughlih. We do
not believe the church has any such purpose and that Bishop
Gallagher has either been misquoted or has spoken too freely.
It is' one thing to extend tolerance to a priest in his non
clerical activities; it is quite another thing to endorse the
specific program he advocates. If the latter is true then the
conclusion would be that the Catholic church is behind the
candidacy of Lemke, which is quite preposterous, as Cath
olics are supporting various candidates. i
There really should be a more definite j statement, if
necessary from the Vatican itself, to clear up, the confusion
which Bishop Gallagher's statement creates. I
What Is the "Plan- Now? i
DR. To wnsend proposes to amend his pension plan so as
to make the transaction tax universal, no exemptions;
also to pay pensions of. $200 a month to all persons, in
" eluding those now earning $2400 a year or over. "But just
what is the Townsend plan now? The McGrbarty bill is
"out", and its author has broken with Dr. (Townsend. Is
there, any definite statement of the plan or is the immediate
program the adoption of the constitutional amendment pro
; posed at Cleveland? . j ;
i We raise this question because so many people talk
1 "Townsend plan" that we wonder if they are all talking about
i the same thing, -particularly the political candidates.

Interpreting
the News
By MARK SULLIVAN
WASHINGTON, Sept. I. Gov
ernor Landon, Inhis address on
education, condemned the so-call
ed "t e a c h e r s'
oaths" which
some 23 state
legislatures have
required teach
ers to take. He
said: '
"Why should
we make teach
ing in 'to a sus
pect j profession,
by. making1 our
teacbera take a
special oath? .
ld.uk SaUilFM
I believe that a teacher has a right
to the same freedom of speech in
expressing his political, social or
religious convictions as any other
citizen. ;
This declaration Governor Lan
don qualified by adding: "This
does not mean that a teacher
should nse a classroom to Put for
ward his own net views and theo
ries. If he does, he is no longer a'
teacher; he Is a propagandist. .
The facts underlying this Incident
are fairly well known. The charge
has been widely made that some
teachers in. some schools teach
communism -teach it, that Is. la
the sense of idvoc&tlnr ft. Mntlnr
pupils to believe it is better form
oi. society xor America tnon the
ana we have. To meet this. nm
states! nave required teachers to
take an oath, differently worded
In different jurisdictions, in
which the . teacher promises that
he will not advocate communism
in his classrooms.
These "teachers' oaths," Gov
ernor Landon condemns. In that,
most persons familiar with hist
ory will agree." The "teachers
oath"j has two vices. It imposed
on all a requirement which Is
properly applicable only to some.
The spirit of American and Brit
ish law and government is that
crime, or fault or responsibilitr
of any kind, is personal and in
dividual; that If an individual Is
undefT) blame, the Individual
slibultl be treated as an Individ
ual. Requiring"' a whole group to
submit to discipline for something
which only some of the group are
doing is like the practice ot mil
itary eovernors of connnereri ter
ritories, who often require whole
villages to oe responsible for the
acts ot any of the inhabitants. It
proceeds on the principle ot col
lective responsibility; and it has
no place in a country In which in
dividualism is the basis of society.
A great majority of our public
school teachrs'ao not inculcate
communism. To subject all to an
oath In order to check a few is
not an American way.
Besides, oaths ot this kind are
rarely effective. The history of
religious controversy is dotted
with them. .When one religion had
control of the state, it prescribed
oaths designed to compel acquies
cence by adherents of the other.
It is doubtful if the -device ever
succeeded in stamping out the re
ligion against which It was direct
ed. I once saw on the walls of
Trinity College, Dublin, the oath
by which a Protestant government
during the eighteenth century
tried to insure that no member of
parliament should be a Catholic.
The member was required to
swear that he was not a Catholic,
that he would not become a Cath
olic, that he took this oath with
out mental reservation, that he re
garded perjury as a sin for which
he should be punished in the next
world, and that in taking this
oath he was not relying on the ex
pectation that the priests of his
church would grant him forgive
ness j for perjury. And so on and
son on, the stolid Anglo-Saxon
mind trying to devise a form of
words which would pin down the
mercurial ceut and hold him fast.
A century and a half later that
Irish parliament Is made up of
men almost all Catholic.
No. neither in religious thought
nor In economic can an oath be
relied on to prescribe an undesir
ed belief.
What, then. Is the answer? Gov
ernor Landon did not meet the
real question. He merely said that
a teacher "should not" use a
classroom to put forward his per
sonal theory. But suppose a teach
er does. Suppose a teacher is not
deterred by Govenor ; Landon's
gentle admonition.
That some teachers do advocate
communism or socialism In class
rooms, there can be n doubt. If
the practice did not exist, teach
ers oaths would hardly have been
adopted by 23 states. The practice
Is not sporadic, it is widespread
and appears to be to om Horco
organized. A pronosed urogram
for education recently put forward
by leaders identified with the na
tional education association has
been1-described as "an educational
program for a socialist America."
The program is called

That teachers ought not to en
cage in proDaeatinz
tem alien to the country, goes
wuuuui saying, no one will have
any difficulty In realizing that a
teacher oneht nnt ios-
his classroom a religion alela to
ie country, with the Christian
religion prevailing In America, a
teacher would ba
order who in his classroom would
avocaie ue Buddhist religion.
And in the field ar nnranit
and social organization, commn-
nwm is as alien to America as
Buddhism in religion! -
But we coma back1 to the con
crete fact. Some ,teachers do ad
vocate communism in the class
room. Apparently some are zeal
ots about It, Insist upon doing it,
defy disapproval of : their doing
it. In this situation, what is to
be done? Is the country at the
mercy of the teachers? Do teach
ers have a license to Impose a new
social system on America? ! If the
"teachers oath is wrong, what
is the right remedy ? ;
The answer. I suspect, is to be

LEPROSY HAS afflicted man
kind for many centuries. -It al
ways was regarded as ! an incur
able disease. During the Middle
Ages, in some countries, the leper
was treated as one dead. In fact,
the victim was given solemn mass
at the church. . I !
Before the unfortunate one was
conducted to the lepersf home, he
was led to the cemetery where dirt
was thrown over him. He became
a social outcast. i " ;
Today, the leper is treated in a
different manner. In fact, leprosy
is no longer considered a hopeless
disease; in many Instances it has
been entirely cured. ' .
For years and years the actual
cause of the disease was not
known. In 1871 the micro-organ
ism responsible for leprosy was
discovered and named the "bacillus
lepra. This germ attacks the skin
and nerves. The skin undergoes
marked changes and the face as
sumes a distorted appearance. Ad
vanced cases of leprosy are Indeed
hideous, unpleasant to view. j
- Changes la Treatment :
Z am glad to say that these ex
treme eases are not as frequently
met as they used to be. This hap
py advance is due to the marked
changes in the treatment and care
of those who have this dreaded dis
ease. It is true that for many years
sanltorlums have been established
and colonies have been set aside
for the care of lepers. But it has
only been within recent years that
well-equipped hospitals have been
bunt for the comfort and relief of
these sufferers. In contrast to for
mer years, every effort Is now be
ing made to understand the disease
more thoroughly and combat it.
. There is no doubt that the great
est contribution to the successful
treatment of leprosy was the dis
covery and application of chaulmoo
gra oil. The ehaulmoogra is an
East India tree of the plum family.
It contains the oil to which X have
referred as useful in the treatment
of leprosy. This oil is extracted
and subjected to certain processes
In its preparation so that it can be
Injected under the skin of the suf
ferer. .
