THOSE SENATORIAL ASPIRANTS When the venerable Evan Reames, of Mcdford, accepted the appointment to fill out the unexpired term of Fred Steiwer in the United States Senate he let it be known that he would not seek election and he thereby left this important position open to a grand free-for-all. For those who may be interested we offer the following opin ion of the candidates: DEMOCRATS Carl C. Dnnaugh present United States district attorney (or Oregon and an able active and honest man, rendered invaluable help in rutting redtape at Washington on Lane coun ty's post office-museum frade. He is a loyal but not blind partisan of the New Deal and would represent Oregon interests capably. Can't understand why he wants to give up a good post for a gamble but recommend him cordially. Willi Mahoney ex-mayor of Klamath Falls and ex-candidate for governor, senator and this and that. Swiftest quick change ar tist in Oregon's political vaudeville. Appears as Townsender, New Dealer, laborlte. Leftist, Rightist, Grand-Right-And-Leftist. Quack! REPUBLICANS Rufus C. Holman present state treasurer and a mighty good one. Honest and fearless. Progressive but not fantastic. Our pick! Robert N. Stanficld former U. S. Senator, highly respected but 'In our opinion not In Hoiman's class for ability. SENATE SHORT TERM (From election day to Jan. 3, 1936) Robert A. Miller has filed for the Demo cratic nomination for this piece of pie. Alex G. Barry, Read M. Ireland and a gent who ballots himself as T. McNary Weed are competing for the Republican nomina tion. We have no personal acquaintance with any of 'em. All the ultimate winner will get out of this remnant is the right to be called Senator the rest of his days and about a month's pay and travel allowances to off set campaign expense. We suggest writing In for the short term the name of your main candidate. If enough people can remember to do this, the chlselers will be chiseled out. THEY WOULD GO TO CONGRESS All of Oregon which lies west of the Cas cades and south of Clackamas is in the First Congressional District. In the primaries you will find the following aspirants for the chair and perquisites now held by Jim Mott: DEMOCRATS Andrew C. Burk former sheriff of Mar lon county, an old-fashioned politico who knows how to dish the promises out. W. T. Miller Josephine county's offer ing to the New Deal, said to be a very decent and competent citizen. Earl A. Nott Yamhill county attorney, described by the rallbirds as warming up for future campaigns, described as able, pro gressive and a comer. Take your pick! REPUBLICANS James W. Mott prertnt Incumbent, knows his way around and has shown real ability to get results in such practical mat ters as prying loose federal aid highway funds and the VilIamette flood control pro ject. Keeps on good terms with the New Dealers without endangering his standing In the small but exclusive minority lodge of GOP. Deserves the call! Walter Norhlad Al Norblad's boy, grad uate of University, has served in state leg islature with considerable ability. Another "warm-up." Do not think that because we speak gaily we regard this office lightly. Our senators are "statesmen," but our congressmen arc the lads who hustle for the district. Sena tors are born great but congressmen have to achievo it unless it is thrust upon them. It is a tribute to Jim Mott that no big names on either side have been submitted in this raco. $11,3110.(100 FOR FLOOD CONTROL Unless something goes wrong in House or Senate, the Willamette Valley Project for flood control, with all" the benefits for irri gation, navigation and conservation which are enUilcd is now assured. The flood con trol committee of the House has approved Col. Rubins' plans for the project and out of $350,000,000 set up for flood control works in various parts of the nation, $11,300,000 is allocated to this valley to be spent now. As a rule recommendations of this com mittee are accepted as final. This money, as R. If. Kipp points out will be as much as can be spent in one year. It will require many years to bring the pro ject to completion, but the future of the plan seems assured. It is to be hoped that com pletion can be attained before we get around to that "flood disaster" which the engineers tell us with cold statistics may be expected bout twice in every hundred years. There are few who remember the great flood of '61 or the flood of '92, but the records have aid plainly it can and will happen here. To save the now densely populated Wil Iwnette yalley from such horror is the lust EDITORIAL purpose of flood control. To develop its industrial and agricultural resources for ad ditional millions of people is the ultimate goal. The engineers will cooperate with us in the working out of the detailed plans. Our prbbem is to see that the project is not neg lected after it is started, to see that progress is made year by year. Speaking of politix, Lane county has something with Angus Gibson, the Scotch Dane in the Hill and Dale Chase for the nomination. WASHINGTON LETTER WASHINGTON, May 13 (Special) "Drunk enness in the United States and all territories thereof Is hereby prohibited." That will be the next amendment to the Constitution of the United States if Congressman Corner Smith, of Oklahoma, can put it over with the aid of two-thirds of each House of Congress and the legislatures of three-fourths of the states, whose ratification would be necessary. This Gomer Smith is the same Gomer Smith who used to be a power in the Townsend old age pensions movement and he is serving his first term in Congress. Corner's proposed amendment, already intro duced in the House, ambitiously proceeds to pro vide that Congress and the states shall have power to enforce this prohibition and to fix penalties for violation. Not Gomer's Idea - J 'iie Idea of making It a federal offense to get spiffed is admittedly not the brain child of Con-1 gressman Smith himself, who says a committee of prominent Baptist ministers got him to introduce the amendment, promising him that they would , promote it as a rallying point for a temperance program. But Smith thinks it's a good idea just the same. Although he blames the administration for all the drunkenness that has been going on, Gomer admits that most persons can drink normally and endanger neither themselves nor others. He de cries the notion that men and women get drunk only because they want to. "Many of us are allergic to alcohol," he says, "and such a person will, if he takes one drink, get drunk Just as surely as there is enough liquor in sight to accomplish that purpose, will power will not help him at all. You might as well say that a man suffering from hay fever, who is al lergic to golden rod, could walk through a field of golden rod and not sneeze on will power. It cannot be done that way." Realizing that he has a long-range proposition on his hands Gomer Smith has not gotten around to figuring the appropriate federal penalties for drunkenness or to the question of who is to de cide whether a citizen Is drunk or Just merely Jingled. Wets Unuorrled Members .of Repeal Associates, the organization which was carried over from the old Association Against the Prohibition Amendment to watch the drys on behalf of the wets, say they're not worry' ing about the Gomer Smith amendment. They find the drys are chiefly busy trying to get towns and counties to adopt local option dry laws, and the associates have trouble combatting this be cause they woudl run into local resentment against "outside interference" if they were to try to run counter-campaigns in the counties. The next major dry offensive, the wets figure, will be aimed at making individual states go dry. Since the old A. A; P. A. fought the 18th amend ment on the ground that states should control liquor traffic within their borders without federal Interference, its heirs find the prospect of lobbying against state prohibition laws a bit embarrassing. (.apt. William H. btayton, whose friends call him "father of repeal," is head of Repeal Asso ciates. Miss Elizabeth Livingston, veteran of the repeal battle, is executive secretary. Most of the funds are contributed by wealthy members of the advisory committee, chairmaned by Pierre S. Du pont. Bosses on Spot Federal employes who don't like their bosses and feel they haven't been promoted as they de served have been having: a (ield day. Senator Allen J. Ellcnder of Louisiana is investigating al leged favoritism and discrimination in the civil service and promises to call bureau chiefs and minor officials before his committee and question them on the basis of secret complaints from em ployes whose names he has promised not to re veal.

MORRIS FISHBF.IN Editor1, Journal of the American Medical Associ ation, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine Sometimes within the mouth and on the tongue there appear Irregularly shaped, hardened and white patches which the skin specialist calls leu koplakia, and which ore sometimes called smokers' patches. These spots usually come on In older people: ' Templcr; feature dance. Romona very seldom in the young. They are seen most; Drollinger: folk dance by Lincoln often on the back of the tongue, the inner sur- school children, under Mrs. Elea fnces of the cheeks, and along the edges of the j nor Turrell; May pole winding bv gUm?' ,,... , third and fourth grade girls of Usually the spots begm as a small place which Brattain. under Mrs. Paul Basford is irritated, but eventually the whiteness appears, and Miss Frances Frizelle; high with hardening of the tissues, and finally, be-1 school band drills fnrmi,iir,n ,ouac , uir ihi'r tn iic.Muiuiy, nne 01 iissures may form between the hardened spots. There have been many different ideas as to the cause of this condition. Sometimes it has been as serted that it is due to smoking: on other occasions that it is the result of some constitutional disease like syphilis. It has also been related to infections elsewhere In the body, and even to cancer. Recently records of veterans were studied which indicated that there were 327 cases of this condi- ' tion among almost seventeen thousand veterans' who were examined. Although all of the patients except five used tobacco, and although syphilis occurred very fre quently among these patients as contrasted with persons who did not have leukoplakia, the investi gators w ere inclined to eliminate both tobacco and syphilis as important causes. Indeed, over ,80 per cent of all of the patients were free from syphilis. Many of the patients also had infections elsewhere in the body, but no definite relationship could be ' traced between these infections and the occur rence of the leukoplakia. Finally, there was cancer directly associated with the leukoplakia in four of the 327 patients which, obviously, does not indicate that cancer is a factor. The investigators were Inclined to believe as a result of their studies that leukoplakia does not j follow anv constitutional riieae hut thnt Ihor. j.
