MORE SUTHERLAND MYSTERY
WAS the forlorn wanderer who died In the LaQrande hospital
Ray Sutherland, the Marcola killer, wanted for the murder
of two deputies here In Lane countyt The sheriff here awalU
photographs of the dead man to decide whether to send people
from here to make positive Identification. Perhaps he will send
men who knew Sutherland to LaQrande anyhow, though It will
hardly be necessary unless the photographs show a pronounced
resemblance.
There are many things which make It seem doubtful If the
man who died at LaQrande was Sutherland. Sutherland was a
cool, calm Individual. He had friends In many parts of the
country who would be willing to aid him. It seems hardly prob
able that he would be the wretched hide-away seeking shelter
night after night In the haystacks and beams near LaQrande.
And yet you never can tell. Murder Is a terrible thing. The
thought of having killed does terrible things to the most resolute
men. Unless It becomes patently absurd to think that the La
Qrande wanderer was Sutherland, It will be wise to make
exhaustive efforts at Identification. Otherwise the LaQrande
mystery may beeome Just another obstacle to bringing the
Sutherland pursuit to an effective end.

In the large centers howl their doctrines of reform or revolu
tion and stage demonstrations which get Into the picture papers.
Nice people shudder. Politicians gabble of panaceas, but do
as little as possible which Is probably lucky. Business prophets
and statisticians put out long-winded dissertations, trying to be
optlmlstio without really saying anything. Most of us keep
plugging away, wondering Just how bad things really are, or
will be, before they are better, doing what we think we can
do for those who are obviously needy, trusting the tide will
turn, as It always has turned.
Here's an Interesting thing. Back In 1830, Just one hundred
years ago, things were not so good. Europe was recovering
from great wars and revolutions; industry was suffering the
first disturbances of the machine age and Lord Macauley wrote
an essay In The Edinburgh Review of January, 1830, from
which woigucte as follows:
"YpaTsee In almost every part of the annals of man
kind how the Industry of Individuals, struggling up
against wars, taxes, famines, conflagrations, mischievous
prohibitions and more mischievous protections, oreates
faster than governments ean squander and repairs
whatever invaders can destroy. The present moment Is
one of great distress. But how small will that distress
appear when we think over the history of the last forty
years a war compared with which all other wars was to
link Into Insignificance; taxation, such as the most
heavily taxed people of former times could not hare
conceived; a debt larger than all the public debts that
ever existed added together; the food of the people
Studiously rendered dear; the ourrancy Impudently de
based and Improvldently restored.
"Yet is the country poorer than In 1780 T We fully bo
Here that In spite of all the mlsgovernment of her rulers
she has been becoming richer and richer. Now and then
there has been a stoppage, now and then a retrogres
sion; but as to the general contingency there can be no
doubt K single breaker may recede but the tide Is
evidently oomlng In. IF WE WERE TO PROPHESY
THAT IN THE YEAR 1980, A POPULATION OP FIFTY
MILLIONS, BETTER FED, CLAD AND LODGED THAN
THE ENGLISH OF OUR TIMES WILL COVER THESE
ISLANDS, that cultivation rich as that of a flower garden
will be carried to the very tops of Ben Nexls and
Helrelyn, that MACHINES CONSTRUCTED ON PRIN
CIPLES YET UNDISCOVERED WILL BE IN EVERY
HOUSE, THAT THERE WILL BE NO HIGHWAYS
BUT RAILROADS, NO TRAVELING BUT BY STEAM,
THAT OUR DEBT VAST AS IT MAY SEEM TO US
WILL APPEAR TO OUR GRANDCHILDREN A
TRIFLING ENCUMBRANCE, many people would think ,
us Insane."
And so on, and so on, citing tukrj Instances and compari
sons and finally:
"We cannot absolutely prove that those are In error
who tell us that society has reached the turning point,
that we have soen our best days. But so said all who
came before us and with Just as much apparent reason.''
What a remarkable prophesy! What a consoling thought for
.hose of us who feel that this particular ebb tide of prosperity
must turn! What profound Insight into political futilities! And
yet the disturbing thing Is that In 1930 Just as in 1830 and 1730
and 1630, we look to luck and natural science and physical
development to save us, and are almost as far from a scientific
approach to human relations as ever. That's something to
think over.
Macnnlay, the optimist predicted the people of 1830 would
climb out of their buslnens dopreanlon. Doubtless the pessi
mists of the time predicted that people would go through de
pressions again and again. What the world seems to need Is
some wiaards who can show ns how to make progress move
in straight lines Instead of circles.

the reason that the Health Week

tinued In the election
Among outstanding defeat, of
candidates who had formal labor
support were those of Senator Mc
Master In South Dakota, Senator
Robsion in Kentucky and former
Senator Gerry of Rhode Island.
All had been supported on the
strength of their senatorial rec
ords, but the defeat of McMnster
and Robsion appear, to have-been
attributable to tne uemocrouc
landslide and labor leader, believe
their successors are likely to prove
as acceptable a. the Incumbents.
None had been among labor'a fore

labor .pokcsmen point to the elec
tion of nearly a .core senatorial
candidate, who had labor support
and to the retirement or primary
or election defeat of a. many who
could be depended upon to have
little sympathy for legislation which
labor supports.
Labor supplied the eitra push
which hai terminated the scnnto
rial career of Henry J. Allen of
Knnsns, President Hoover', close
friend and senatorial adviser, who
will be succeeded by a Democrat
named George J. McOill. Allen
fathered tho famous Kansas In

and bitterly fought. Another of la

Labor makes no general list of Its
endorsed candidates leaving en
dorsements to state federations
and locals, but the executive, of
the 21 Btandnrd Railway organiza
tion, unanimously called for the
olectlon of 10 senatorial candidates,
nine Republican, and 10 Demo
crats. ,
At the top of the list stood Sen
ator George W. Norrls ot Nebras
ka, who as chairman of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee ba been
helpful and sympathetic to such
labor-sponsored mensures as the
anti-Junction legislation as well as
to other progressive ntid humani
tarian measures. Norrls defented

Byrne, in South Carolina who
with labor support defeated Sena

Senator Harris of Georgio, whom
labor aided in his primary tight.
The more important of the suc

only three or four of the whole

Have Mind Clear When Going To
Bed To Avoid Insomnia
By B. 8. COPELAND, M. D.
V. S. Senator from New ork
Former Commissioner of Health,
New York City
NOTHING la more disturbing
than going to bed at night and
not being able to sleep. It makes
the night hideous and ruina the
happiness of the following day.
Sleeplessness or insomnia I.
largely a matter of habit, a bad
habit. Excessive fatigue, worry,
lack of fresh air and physical ex
ercise, are the main cnuBca leading
to insomnia. One should acquire
the habit of absolutely dropping
woek nud cure, nt bed-time. I have
told you of Mr. Henry Olewa who
aaid he mode Fourteenth Street
the dividing lino in his life. Ho
would not permit himself to think
of business when he reached that
street on his way home at night.
People resort to nil sort, of
methods to induce sleep. The count
ing of sheep and other uch fan
tastic mental games have been
tried by all of us but usually with
out beneficial results.
If you are restless and cannot
sleep do not worry about it. Dwel
ling on the thought that you are
having difficulty in sleeping will
keep you awake. Relax in bed, and
even if you aro awake, you are af
fording rest to your body. Rest will
come only with relaxation and
thot will be followed by sleep.
Sleep is Nnturc'. way of rejuv
enating the body. Sleep should be
sufficient in dtirntion and it should
bo uninterrupted. The avernge
number of hours of sleep required
by an adult is from seven to nine
hours. Growing children require
more sleep than adults.
Sleep come, most readily when
the .tomach i. practically empty.
If the drinking of water induces
bladder action during the night it
ia better to avoid late drinking.
Where possible sleeo outdoor, or
in a room open to fresh sir. Out
door sleeping is more restful and
beneficial than indoor sleeping.
Never tnko drugs for sleepless
ness. Once you start reiving oo
medicine for sleep, you begin a
hnbit that Is often difficult to
break. ,
Plenty of exercise in the open
during the tiny i essentinl for
gooil sleep at night. Lot your eve
ning meal be u wholesome one
without spices ntid condiments.
Avoid nil stimulants. e
Let me repeat make sure there
Is plenty of fresh air in your bed
room. You can be assured of this
if nil the windows of your sleeping
chamber nro open.
A warm bath just before going
to bed is n groat aid in relaxing
Ihe body nnd preparing for a good
night's sleep. Sleep may be en
couraged by drinking a glas. of
wnrm milk. ... ,.
If you are worried and cannot
relax in bed. It Is often a good
plan to read something diverting.
Do not rend exciting books in an
nttenipt to relax. A book that re
quires concentration will help you
quiet the mind and' induco sleep.
If you continue having insomnia
In spite of these measures consult
with your physician. Continued
lack of sleep is injurious to the
bodv. There are many nerve dis
orders that" cause insomnin. Such
disorders should be under the per
sonal supervision of your physician.
