Time f or Indecision J u ..
There is time for decision.
There is also a time for indecision. This last
is, proper at the. moment for the large number,
of voters whose swine will finally determine
the result of the November election.
. Each candidate has a sure block of voters:
The party regulars who vote with the party,
rain or shine, through thick and thin:. Then
'there are party-deviates who may "be register
ed in uuc puiy uul ji vc it uiujr uuuuuoi ou-
legiance. Many of these just go with the tide
or are part of the tide. Finally, there are the
independents who make serious business of .
their voting. Their numbers are relatively few,
and their influence is not a great as they like
to trunk it is. They are apt to De intellectuals,
rpwrripH as hiehbrow bv the so-called masses.
If is the second group whose ? numbers are large '
and whose votes probably will be decisive.
They win be influenced by a variety of causes:
Their own personal interest; and the impression -they
get of the two leading candidates.
At the moment, General Eisenhower's name
Is far better known and that gives him a cerjr
tain advantage. Oh the other hand. Governor ,;
Stevenson is a smoother talker. His flow of
ideas and words s more original and fresher.
His glibness of speech makes him a formidable '
opponent on the stump; and yet it might prove
his undoing. '
Both candidates have had their troubles. The
Portland Journal got Stevenson into the "Wash
ington, mess". Senators Mundt and Nixon got
Ike's feet in the McCarthy tanglefoot. Eisen
hower also has had more trouble perfecting his
organization, with a great deal of pulling and
hauling from party factions Hi cause sagged
in this period of sparring for ' position. Both
candidates have their organizations pretty well
perfected now; and both are on the stump seek
ing to win votes. - . :
This is the time for indecision in that great
group of independents and those with unstable
party convictions. Attention well may be given ,
to the size of the "Undecided" reported in the
professional polls from week to week.
This Is September and elections are not won .
In -September. Harry Truman reversed the tide
in the last weeks of the 1948 campaignNow
is the time for voters to hear what the can-'
didates have to say and see how they perform.
The time for decision is November 4 or short-
ly before.
state settles with the United Press writer who
waxed too poetical in. telling about "the little
country girl from Kansas, out where the corn
grows talL"
The story pertained to Errol Flynn's wife
and is of no particular moment in itself. But
that comment about corn well, who hasn't
heard that song, "I-o-way; Io-way, That's where
the tall corn grows?" .
We aren't here to say the corn grows taller
in Iowa than Kansas. In fact, we're not looking
for trouble at all. But when the yell goes up
from Iowa, we're not going to have too much
sympathy with the UP writer. He should know
better than try to steal a state song's thunder.

A consensus of opinion, as reflected by com
ments from exhibitors, local residents and vis
itors from' out-of-town, seems to be that the
1952 Oregon State Fair is one of the cleanest,
most complete, most orderly and most enjoy
able events on record. "
The fair is in the wind-up stage now. Today
and tomorrow will bring .finis. And from all
appearances, in attendance and "take," it will
be classed as successful. Those who have not
seen it certainly will want to do so before the
gates clang shut Saturday night.

Bleeding from rectum is one ,
of the most common complaints
with which the physician has to
deal The average person usually
thinks such bleeding is due to
hemorrhoids or piles, and pays
little attention to it.
Contrary to this belief, bleed
ing from the rectum may be due
to many other causes besides
hemorrhoids. A bleeding stomach
or a duodenal ulcer may be the
cause of bright red blood from
the rectum. The use of the new
antibiotics, aureomycin, chloram
phenicol, and terramycin may
also cause bleeding.
. o .. o
If a person has hemorrhoids,
the blood seen is usually bright
red and, In most cases, no pain
accompanies the bleeding.
Sometimes bleeding is due to
a rectal fissure, which Is a crack
in the rectal membranes. In this
case, pain generally follows the
bowel movements and lasts a
long time. Blood is usually found
on the toilet tissues.
Small growths in the rectum
known as polyps can cause
bleeding, but generally there is
also much mucus with the blood.
When pus Is mixed with the
blood, it k usually due to inflam
mation of the colon (colitis), or
perhaps to amebic dysentery.
i Of course, there is always the
possibility that a cancer or tumor
of the bowel is the cause of
bleeding. Most of the other con
ditions mentioned are less seri
ous and are more easily cured
than cancer of the rectum and
bowel.
Therefore, any person with
signs of bleeding .from the rec
tum should have an immediate
examination to j determine the
exact cause. For this purpose, the
eysician uses 'an instrument
own as a proctoscope to ex
amine the rectum and boweL If
this instrument were used earlier
and more often,! many cases of
early cancer would be detected,
and many cancer victims kept
alive and safe, j
'QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Most cases of this kind are not
too disturbing, and do hot inter
