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.

This condition is one of the most difficult with which
health officials end physicians hare to deal. A fra

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. Rordet and Gen-

the disease, and other factors must aim be present.
e
The chief epidemics of this disease occur In winter.
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.

Moreover, there is evidence that whooping coujh is

the disease.

The International Uniform Sunday
School Lesson for Jan. 8.
By WM. E. GILItOY, D. 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
