A NEWSPAPER 18 A CITIZEN OF ITS COMMUNITO. AFTER SO MANY YEARS. THE man who ! perfectly satisfied to stay quietly at borne and let other people tee the alghti and hare the adventures is always a bit of a puizle to most ot us. Monotony and boredom are plagues that we avert only by great exertion; it is hard to understand the man who doesn't even know what those words mean. So there is a good deal of Interest In the story of that 83-year-old Ohio farmer who set out the other day to make his first trip to the city. This man has spent all of his life on a farm less than SO miles from one ot the largest cities in the middle west. But up to a day or so ago he had never gone into the city. He had never, for Instance, seen a skyscraper, or a moving picture show, or a traffic Jam, or any of the other delights of modern urban civilization. Instead he had lived peacefully on his farm, quite content to remain out of the main current of life. When we read about a chap like this our first Impulse is to feel sorry tor him, In a superior sort of way. We tell ourselves that he must have missed a lot; staying put so placidly for so many years. But maybe the old gentleman hasn't missed as much as we suppose. While other men have wrestled desperately with the solse and confusion and hustle ot city life, he has had his quiet fields, his slow round ot duties under the open sky, his tasks that are performed to the gentle rhythm of the seasons themselves. In place of Jangling street cars, rumbling trucks and speeding autos he has had peaceful country lanes with springy earth underfoot; in place ot a crowded suburban subdivision or a Jammed city apartment house he has had a home separated by many acres from every other dwelling; he has been able to look at dawns and sunsets without finding tbslr beauties dimmed by a smoke cloud; )f he has missed the movies, he has had the unending psgeant of spring and summer and fall and winter, the never-faltering birth of new life In the warm after all, this old hap whs stayed away from the city for fourscore years knew what he was doing. . A "COMPLIMENT" REPAID. rpHE film fans ot Russia, according to recent cables, are being enthralled these days by a movie dealing with the Allied antl-Bolshevlk expedi tion to Archangel in the winter ot 191819. Ameri can troops took part in this expedition, and the movie shows them as brutal terrorists given to assaults on women, looting, the murder of children and similar Hun-Uke practices. On contingent of American soldiers in this film, however, seos the light. UnJor the leadership of an ex-Russian It revolts, seises an armored car and Joins the revolution. This film evidently represents about at com plete a misunderstanding ot America as one could find. But before we grow too indignant, we might remember that turn about Is fair plsy. Our own movies have certainly exhibited revolutionary Butala In a thoroughly cock-eyed manner; is It sur prising it the Russian film-makers return the compliment? AN INSPIRATION DIMMED. PHILIPPINE COMMISSIONER PEDRO GUEVARA tells American congressman that "less fortunate people all over the world will bless Amorlca" once this country formally sots a dnte for the granting ot Philippine independence. This, somehow, has an odd sound; but It might be worth remembering that lf.lt sbould be true America would only be stepping back Into a role which once It held all of the time. There was a day. when democracy and freedom ' were less common than they are now, when the or dinary folk of foreign lands did look on America as an Inspiration and a harbinger ot promise. The na tion had dared to make a vast experiment, had dared to make democracy and freedom the cornor atones ot Its policy, and by doing so It stirred hope ful hearts everywhere. If, by freeing the Philippines. America ran again persuade distant people that It stands for freedom and liberty well, at the very least It would seem like old times, wouldn't it? WILSON'S PEACE FORMULA. XJORMAN It. DAVIS, who has beon acting for the United States in a series ot International ex changee during the past year, tolls reporters at New York that "we never really move very fnr for ward unlets we embrace the principles of Wood row Wilson snd use the machinery he was to in strumental in setting up." In a nation which has an almost pathological fear ot dealing with the League of .Nations, this remark probably will cause a good deal of dissent. Rut Wilson's great scheme for International co-operation. In one form or another, may yet prove the moat valuable fruit ot the World War. For It la an idea that must, sooner or later, be adopted by everyone: and while the exlctlng league may well have to give way to tome better organisation, the principle itself la sound and the years since the war have only served to etnphasite the fact. DEFLATION OF THE RADICALS AS the count of votes east In the presidential " election contlniiea, It hecomea evident that the minor parties got a larger share of the total than Has at first supposed. Reports show that the seven minor party can didates got, altogether, upward of a million votes. Of theae, the vast majority more than 800,000 were caat for Socialist Norman Thomas. Ap proximately 70,000 went to the Communist, William Z. Foster, with the remainder scattered among Pro hibition, Liberty, Socialist Labor and other tmaller groupt. Now all ot this, to be lure, comprises only a small fraction of the total vote, something like .6.000,000 Americans went to the pollr. the pro portion that wanted a sweeping change In our so cial and economic eet-up badly enough to vote for a minor party candidate It only about one In 36. America, quite clearly. Is still overwhelmingly con servative. But there Is a bit of an object lesson In the figures, Just the same. The radicals, however, are far more numerous than they were four years ago. In 1928, for Instance, all of the minor parties together polled fewer than 380,000 votes. Thomas got 287,000 only about a third of his 1932 total. And when you take into account the undoubted fact that in many machine-ruled cities thoutandi of Socialist and Communist votes simply were not counted at all. It becomet clear that radical strength increaaed very rapidly during the last four years. Nothing to much Improves a lame duck't loco motion as a pistol waved in tba gallery. There's many a slip 'twlxt the cup and the lip and quite probably a vote. If there's anything more fragile than the spring In a Christmas toy It's a New Year's resolution. WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK ONLY A SALES TAX (Salem Cspltal Journal) . GENERAL salta tax on all products except thots of the farm, la being advocated by the administra tion at Washington and atrongly opposed by farm or ganizations and tbeir lobbies, as well as by congress men who farm tbo farmers for their votes, as a tax on the consumer and the little fellow. That la true enough but there la no reason why everyone should not bear some burden of taxation, the little fellow at well as the big. - At tbe same time these farm organisations are in slatent upon some form of farm relief and the present form It has taken Is tbe voluntary domestic allotment plan. Under tola scheme tbe government would pay to growera of export crops a bonus equal to tbe existing tariff, minus a small charge for administrating, the pay ment being made only on the proportion of tha crop used for domestic consumption. To obtain this money, tbe government would Impose an excise tax to be col lected from the millers, melt packers ond other pro cessors of commodities handled which would be equal to tbe tariff, but would be refunded on exports affected. The processor would pass It on to tba consumer. Tbe allotment plan amount's to s subsidy to the farmer paid by tbe consumer. In other words It It simply a tslet tax ou food. The farm organliatlona op pose a sales tsx on manufactured products, which they buy, but favor a sales tax on products they tell, when they are the beneficiaries. Thlt la tbe difficulty faced by all tax rlln bodies. AH clamor for taxation that beneflte tbe.ni Individually and toskt the other fellow. All want services by gov ernment and subsidies if possible st public expense, but balk on paying for them. But as long aa we subsidize Industry with high tariffs, or outright subsidies for special interests and classes, the country cannot fairly oppose the farmera' bid for a subsidy. But the con sumers will, at usual, foot the Mil. IN THE EDITOR'S MAIL BAG PLAN FOR INDUSTRY gUGENE, Ore., (To the Editor) I have been 'a reader of your paper for aeveral years, and have enjoyed the editorials, also the comments and discus sions on varloua topics that have been tubmitted from time to time by others. During tbe past year the people of this community gave their time anil money In support of a worthy cause, that of preventing the threatened removal of the University from Eugene. Prom tome sourcea, and from a general opinion regarding that Issue, when things were settled there was supposed to be a general revival of business In Eugene, but to date such fans not been the case. Wby? Because the University of Ore gon does not supply very much of a payroll for the common working man, and he It the man who spends the money when he has any. On the other hand, the small home owner, struggling In times like these to save what little he has left, digs In his lean pocket book to pay the taxes to keep state Institutions going, Including, of course, hte University of Oregon with Its well paid professors, when he, in all probability, bat no job at all. You ask, "Well, whet shall we do about It?" My answer Is to give some worthy Industries, adapted to this locality, the right kind of Inducements to locate here, and there will be t few more Jobs for the work ing man. If the people can pull together for one prop osition, why not for another? Why not pick out a few plecea of desirable prop erty, with trackage facilities, etc., buy them with funds obtained In the same manner aa tbat used to save the University, give tome guarantee to hold the taxes on said property down to a minimum, and present the deeda to worthy Induatrlea willing to locate here? Eu gene will then begin to come out of the "doldrums." We should soon learn who sre some of our public spirited cltlsens. and whether they are willing to part with some of their property at a reasonable price, or hold It at a price beyond reason, driving industry away. I am sure a committee could he secured to go Into this matter, spread the plan abroad through radio advertis ing, etc.. and put a little pep into the town snd s few men to work. A short time ago t was reading comments In your paper on the future business outlook, written by a few who have fairly well paid Jobs and are In no Immed iate need. They very likely can wait for things to adjust themselves somehow, but how about the men who has no Job snd a family to support? There are a good many In Eugene. Tbe scenery here It fine, hut s few pay checks would come In handy, so let's get busy and figure out a way to get some. There Is plenty of money In the country, so let's get tome of it circuiting around here. Trusting- thift you will see fit to give this apace In your coltmieis. T remain Yours for prosperity. R. A.

MORRIS FISHBEIN (Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magmine.) .sT least 400 yesrt tgo diseases were described which 4 resemble what is called whooping cough today. This condition is one of the most difficult with which health officials end physicians hare to deal. A fra cases appearing In any group of children spread rapidly to Include all who have not had tbe disease previously. Whooping couch causes more deaths than do most of the other infectious diseases of childhood. It Is fatal chiefly to the very young, and the Immediate cause of death Is nearly always some secondary Infection. In j older children hooping cough Is nu'te frequently fl- I lowed by pneumonia or tuberculous, and Is especially menaiing from the point of view of these complication I A germ has been found In connection with the j disease by two Belgian Investigators.

Whooping cough is transmitted, of course, by the ma terial coughed out from the lungs, and it has been shown that the explosive cough which occurs In this condition can throw droplets of infected saliva for six feet or farther.

If they continue to cough, may be active In spreading the disease to chil dren wbo hate not had It. Moreover, there is evidence that whooping coujh is Infectious In Its earliest stages, so that children who are put to bed and kept isolated uutll after they have been coughing for some time may also actively spread the disease.

D. , Editor of Tbe Congregationalist THE beginning of the work of Jesus was not, aa one might have ex pected, in some great utteronce or action. His ministry began where the ministry of all men begins, in the test ing of bia own soul. So much emphasis has been made upon the theological doctrine of the divinity of Jesus that we are apt to forget that his divinity wot revealed in his Immunity. It was as "the man Christ Jesus" that he revealed the di vine life and incarnated the God of love and grace In a world of sinful and needy men. Being human, he was subject to temptation, and we ere reminded in Scripture tbat "he was in all points a tempted like as we are," and tbot "inasmuch as he suffered be ing tempted he Is able to help them thnt are tempted." It was in temptation, therefore, that tbe ministry of Jesus began, or temptation accompanied the begin ning. Just wiint was tbe nature of the temptation and the testing of the soul of Jesus himself we can judge from the stories of the temptation as re corded In the Gospel of Matthew, The three temptations there re corded would-'seem to pymbolite the temptation of a man conscious of his power to give Ills life to world do minion rather than to spiritual ser vice, to exercise his power for vnln and worldly ends instead of for the glory of Clod and for the salvation of humanity, or to use thnt power for trivial or mnslc ends instead of in fulfillment of the divine purpose in changing the hearts and lives of men. The temptntlon wns in the wilder ness, which means that Jesus fought out the crucial battle and decision of life alone that ia, alone with and with the mlnUtcrin- spirit thtt came to hira with ministering lrit) in tlie nour ot nis victory. J ne lesune oi jeans was. ot Courts not only in those days in the wikUr ness. All through the days of kjj enrthly life until the agony of Gsrj. eemnne before the hour of the croi. Jesus wns subject to temptation. Rj, spirit was tried: he felt the need prayer, and he went at times into tit wilderness and up to the mountain u pray.
