. A NEWSPAPER IB A CITIZEN OF ITS
COMMHN1TT.
PLEDGES OR POLICIES?
BY vote of the majority of tho new county budget
board, the county farm agent and home agent
have been dropped from the tentative budget tor the
coming year. Looking over the letters which come
In our Mail Bag we find Messrs Flsk and Young
either roundly censured or praised without atlnt
for this action. The funny thing Is that the two
sides take exactly opposite views as to what makes
"politics" In the situation.
Say the critics:
"The agents are being sacrificed because of po
litical pledges which never should have been made."
Say the boosters:
"Three cheers for officials whd refuse to let
political pressures drive them back from pledges
once made."
This aspect of the controversy we regard as ex
tremely unfortunate. Only two things should In
fluence the final decision (and we hope the decision
announced Friday Is NOT final), '
Either the work of the agents Is worth while or
It is not worth while. If it Is worth while, and
there Is much evidence to that effect, then It is
politics in the worst form to make It a target In
budget making.
Either the promised savings of $250,000 can be
made on a reasonable program of retrenchment-In
all departments and divisions, or It cannot be made
without hacking deeply into every vital operation of
county government In addition to the agents.
The 12,700 which the county must contribute to
keep the agents Is only a small percentage against
either the 1250,000 savings or the 1800,000 In the
remaining budget, and It Is heavily counterbalanced
by 14,676 of state and federal support.
Tbe one campaign pledge which the county has a'
right to exact of the new official la the pledge of
aubstantlal retrenchments. When they made the
preelection suggestion for abolishing the agents,
It was obviously a suggestion subject to changes
, later In view of full facts. Even the 1260,000
estimate of possible savings could not be taken
as an absolute figure. -
It would be the obvious duty of Messrs Flsk and
Young to save J261.829.4S cents If that happened to
be the proper figure. On the other hand, If the
proper figure. In light of actual needs happened to
be only $241,126.13, there could be no very serious
compalnt.
Policies and not pledges should guide a business
like operation. That Is what we want.
TEMPEST IN THE BARNYARD
A MINOR political problem, but an Interesting
one nevertheless, Is that raised by former
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, who urges
that the Democratic party drop the donkey as Its
emblem and return to the rooster.
By tradition, the rooster la the official Demo
cratic trade mark. The donkey came Into being
because of the genius of Cartoonist Nast, half a
century ago; and only the fact that Nast was such
a tremendously abe cartoonist made the donkey
stick.
As Mr. Daniels points out, however, "the rooster
has ten times more beauty and style and clarion
call than the donkey"; and he makes, very likely,
a far better emblem. But will the party return to
hlmT Few voters now alive can remember back
to the pre-donkey age. It Is probable that Mr.
Daniels' campaign to retire the donkey will have
hard sledding,
CONFIDENCE IN CALLISON.
TTIZENS of ' Eugene, frienda of the University,
students and football players have Joined In a
show of confidence In "Prink" meaning Prlnoe Cal
ilson, the football coach,
', jTfie demonstration Is timely. It will do a good
aWal- toward heartening theothole team for the Im
pending conflicts with St. Mary's and Louisiana.
.Whether we win those battles or not, It Is fairly
certain that In them Oregon will live up to Its repu
tation for tight.
Just wby the Oregon team and Mr. Calllson
abould have been singled out by the Los Angeles
ports writers tor heavy censure after that 38 to 0
trouncing by the champion Trojans Is bard to figure
out. Just why some Oregon supporters should have
been ao swayed by the comment of mere press box
critics Is even harder to understand.
View the schedule Oregon has. played, the long
train of mishaps and Injuries and the heroic mud
battle at Corvallls which preceded the Los Angeles
encounter In aub-troplcal heat and It Is difficult to
accept the dictum that the Oregon team Is dumb
or laiy or even poorly coached,
i Viewing the Bad fortunea of the great 'Top"
Warner with what was to have been Stanford's
"wonder team" and of "Navy Bill" Ingram at Cali
fornia and the much touted Phelan at Washington,
' ot to mention Paul 8chlssler, "Babe" Holllnghory
H als, we find very little to be discouraged about.
, ; Perhaps there was too much effort to build Ore
gon attack and defense around one or two players
and not enough effort to use the whole squad. Per
haps the estoemed Wlldorman In his praiseworthy
efforts to build a big and very badly needed "gate"
promised the Los Angeles critics too much. Per-
. baps
Oregon has seldom hsd a finer team. It has a
coming coach. If we atop crying for the moon and
being foolish. '
Russia's government of "workers" Is discharging
thousands from the soviet payrolls on the ground
that they are "loafers." The boys over there ap
parently thought "government for the workers"
meant no work would be entailed.
As we understand the proposition, those Euro
pean nations say that if we will pay for the war
that will be the end of their depression. When we
"won the v,-ar" we evidently won something.
WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK
ERECT IT AT HOME
(Oregon City Enterprise)
Benton county should send a memorial to
Clacknmns county ns the only .other county in the
state having the best interests of the state at
heart on the school consolidation meneure. Other
counties will have a chnnre to redeem themselves
at some future time perhaps.
rPHK ABOVE paragraph is from the Cnrvallis Gazette
Times. Readers Kill notice that the facts are slight
ly twisted. Clackamas county admits that it had "the
best interests of the state at heart" when it voted on
the school moving measure, but denies association with
such evil company.
Snowed under from 1he very first precinct returns
to the last, the final count in this county was over six
to one against tbe unpopular proposal. Clackamas
county does some queer stunts at times, but it is not
guilty of such folly as that.
Yes, we joined in Iho chorus against more bonds
and we yelled our heeds off against bureaucracy, but
we helped to vote upon the people a bond iseae of
$06,600,000 without further vote of the people, thus
issuing a blank cheek for that sum in the form of a
constitutional amendment which makes it possible for a
hoard of three men to set up the most powerful
bureaucracy this state has ever known. And we did this
in a county where private hydroelectric companies pay
WlA per cent of all property taxes.
We voted to restrict the franchise to property
owners only on. bond issues and specisl tax levies,
while at the ssme time we turned down the tax super
vision and control measures proposed by the tax con
servation lesgue.
While Clackamas county might have indulged in a
few inconsistencies at this election, thank goodness It
gave the contemptible school stent the drubbing it de
servedto the tune of nbout 15,000 to 2500. And If It
Is ever attempted again, s the Onzelto Times bints,
Clackamss county will again show thst It hss "the best
interests of the state at heart" In the selfsame manner.
Benton county has no company In its misery. And
even five of its own precincts voted for the "best
interests of the stnte."
We egreo with the Gnsette .Times that hnd Clacka
mss county or any other been foolish enough to fall
for thst school-wrecking proposal, it would he entitled
to a monument carved in the likeness of a huge duneo
cap as nn everlasting memorial to its gultihility.

If Mnyor-clect O'Mrlen doesn't become an object of
national ridicule, it will be because he change his ways.
Faced with an extremely serious fiscal situation and s
staggering relief problem in New York, O'Brien cam
palitned for a bicger army and navy, told anecdotes of
his college and courthouse days, demanded a "kiddie in
every home' and dechirpd boldly for conjnunl fidelity.
The blame for O'Brien goes largely to Tammany
and to the national snd stnte lenders, democratic and
republican, who kowtowed to Tammany.

Tho remarkable Pr. Brinkley appears to hp another

He probably would have been elected two years Bgo,

followers who wrote his name In the ballot, had not so
many other Brlnkleyites botched their ballots.
Brinkley campaigned with promise of a lake to be

TONGUE PARALYSIS SELDOM CAUSES
COMPLETE LOSS OF MUSCLE CONTROL
By DR. MORRIS FISUBKIN
(Editor, Journal of American Medical
Association, and of Hygeia,
the Health Magazine)
YnEN anythiiiK is swallowed, sc
tion begins when the food that
has been chewed is caught on the
ongne and pressed upward sgainst
the hard palate. This forces the food
luickwsrda into the throat. From that
time on the mass Is beyond control.
Contact of the food with the base
of the tongue stimulates certain ner
ves which then cause the muscles to
contract. As. a result the soft palate
is pushed up, the pillars which guard
the eutrnnco to the throat came to
gether, tho none is shut off from the
mouth, thus keeping the food from
pnssing upward into the nose, and
down it goes.
At the mime time, si so, ordinarily,
the windpipe is closed bo that the food
cannot get into the lungs. This clos
ure is brought about by a combined
action of the tongue nnd n drawing
upward and forward o the larynx or
that part of tho windpipe which ll
concerned with speech.
Obviously, there are many factors
involved In swallowing, all of the parts
combining together. Once the food
starts to move, the action Is so rapid
that It can hurdly be seen with the
eye In x-rny pictures but has to be
followed by motion pictures.
fluids go down much more rapidly
than solid fond. Liquids reach the
stomach in from one to two seconds,
whereas solid foods may require seven
to eight seconds. If nny one of the
factors involved in tho swallowing
i echanism is disturbed the whole
process may be disturbed.
In paralysis of the tongue, which
means paralysis of tbe muscles in
volved, swallowing is disturbed and
also speech. In case the whole tongue
is paralyzed it shrinks and lies st the
bottom of the mouth covered with
saliva. Such complete paralysis, how
ever, is quite rare. In most cases
only one portion of the tongue is in
volved. t
v If both parts of the tongue are
paralyzed speech is usually unintelll
gitle. If, however, only one-half of
t! ) tongue Is paralysed speech may
be fairly good, but certain sounds,
particularly L, S, E, and W, do not
come out satisfactorily,
In certain diseases the nerves of
fecting the palate are involved so
that there is parnlysiK of the palate
nnd of the pharynx. This occurs par
ticularly in nome forms of infantile
paralysis and diphtheritic paralysis.
In such cases swallowing may be so
difficult that.lt becomes necessary to
feed the patient through the nose.
Sometimes the paralysis is so se
vere thuu there Is interference also
with vomiting. This is most unfortu
nate because food under such circum
stances tends to get into the windpipe
and to produce coughing, or it may
actually get down Into the lungs and
give rise to pneumonia.
If an x-ray examination shows that
particles of material, made opaque
to the x-rny, are getting into the wind
pipe nnd lungs, prompt action must
be tnken to prevent this complica
tion.

RKAM puff shells ore made of
what is technically called "choux
paste." They really are a form of
pastry and are peculiar in thnt.they
lire twice cooked.
Always popular for party refresh
ments, one of their rhief merits lies
in their excellent keep inn qualities.
They can he made several days be
fore they are wanted nnd kept in per

time. However, the filling process Is
very simple and takes only a few min
ute;. Since (he shell Is not sweet. It need
not be" used exclusively for dessert,
but can take the place of n patty shell
for a cronnied meat or fih. If grated
cheese Is added with the flmir, the
ense is good for holding salads as well
as hot creamed mixtures.
When It comes to using the puff
shells for eVsscrt. the wide variety of
fillings available makes it possible to
vsry the dessert in many ways. Cus
tards of various flavors, ice cream,
fresh nnd canned fruits snd fruit
whips sll are inviting when served in
a crisp puff shell.
Choux pn-te is the foundation fr
both eclairs nnd crenm puffs. The
shape of the finished pastry proclaims
it name.

The Vnlted States Is the largest

IT is no wonder that parents be
come confused over the various
changes in child training the con
stantly shifting picture thst presents I
a new view each year, it seems. i
And yet though the picture changes,
each reel brings us a step nearer to
the real truth. I don't believe it is
anything to be discouraged about.
The revolution of child rearing came
about as most revolutions do, through
extremes at first. Not only did a great
many parents misunderstand such
terms as "self expression" and liber
ty., but many psychologists and stu
dents of child welfare themselves
made certain statements they since
have been compelled to modify.
AH this prefsce la to prepare for
something I wish to warn the student
parent about.
Every great movement even a rev
olution, after its first enthusiasm and
glamour has worn off Is bound to
have a reaction. And I, who keep my
ear close to the ground, am hearing
the discontented murmur of mal
contents. Parents Are Complaining
Tt Is not uncommon today to hear
people soy impatiently. "The psychol
ogists are a lot of meddlers who have
done more harm than good. The old
ways were the best ways. Tt Is good
for a child to have fear. It Is good
for him to be whipped."
I spoke of this to a well known
doctor one day recently, a specialist on
nervous diseases, called by his col
leagues as "The Chief" because he
lends them sll. He Is intensely Inter
ested in children snd has worked
among them all over the country.
"Pon't worry," he said in his gen
ial way. "Tt Is to be expected. This
matter of educating adults In re

"In fact," he said, "the most en
couraging part of it Is the slowness

"Tf they differ from new methods

serious either ss long AS THEY ARE
thinking:"
The latest revolt seems to be nbout
discipline. It appears thnt the re
turns of the "liberty" experiment are
coming in. and many children of the
method have not produced results. I
think myself there hsve been some
very bad results snd thst many ehil

little nuisances.
But I do not blame the system. I
lay the blame to the door of certnit
misunderstandings on the part of pa
