Roosevelt Accepts
In a speech remarkable for its temperate personal mod
esty, Franklin D. Roosevelt again made history last night
when he became the first president in the nation's history
to accept nomination for a fourth term in that high office.
But in the staging of his acceptance the "indispensable"
man could not resist the temptation to dramatize just a
little bit on the fact that this election year finds the country
at war and the chief executive concerned with other consid
erations than politics.
As speeches of acceptance go, Mr. Roosevelt's fourth was
well up to the standard of his other three both as to context
and delivery. Considering its purpose it was a masterpiece
of restraint as an exposition of the accomplishments of his
new deal administration. In it he enumerated most of the
alleged economic and social gains of the past 11 years for
which he claims responsibility and nobly admitted that "we
have made mistakes."
He recited the tremendous achievements of the United
States in preparing for and prosecuting the war and infer
ential claimed credit for them, along with numerous diplo
matic victories. He listed various steps already taken in
anticipation of the return of
domestic and international affairs, and asked that expe
rience" be permitted to remain at the helm during the critical
four years ahead. '
All of this is proper and pertinent to a political caniDaien
But why drag in the implication and the statement that
;the president is too busy conducting the war to give his
attention to politics? The very manner in which the accept
ance address was delivered (via radio from an undisclosed
Pacific coast naval station) had all of the earmarks of a po
litical maneuver designed to impress the public with the
thought that the commander-in-chief is diligently perform
ing his war duties without taking time out for politics.
! If Mr. Roosevelt is sincere
that his selection is vital to the best interests of the nation
,;he will take such steps as are necessary to insure his elec
tion. The people understand that and expect it, just as they
expect everyone in or out of office to place first emphasis
on the job of winning the war. They don't have to have that
fact dramatized for them.
Signs of the Times
! The announced attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler and
the fall of the Japanese cabinet of Premier Tojo, whether
accurately reported by axis propagandists or not, reflect
conditions existing in the homelands of the enemy that are
favorable to the cause of the Allies. How much of the truth
of each incident has been told we have no means of deter
mining, but the fact that the stories were broadcast is of
litself significant.
J They reflect the existence of situations inside both Ger
many and Japan which those of the enemy high command
deem it necessary to take steps to correct,
i Hitler's own statement that the alleged attempt on his
life was the work of one of a group of rebellious army officers
may easily be just an excuse for another blood purge, this
time of members of the military who question the efficacy
,of der fuehrer's intuition methods of conducting a war. It
may be an attempt to excuse before the German people the
failure of the armies to stop the Russians, the British and
the Americans relentlessly pressing in on the Reich from
'the east, west and south, by creating the impression of
jtreason in the army.
i The incident, on the other hand, indicates an actual rift
in the German military command such as preceded the col
lapse of her armies in 1918.
; The fall of the Tojo ministry clearly reflects realization
on the part of the Japanese government of a growing lack
of confidence in the manner in which the war on that side of
the world is being conducted. The choice of General Koiso
and Admiral Yonai, both aggressive proponents of Japanese
expansion, as joint premiers of the new ministry does not,
however, give promise of any change in Nippon's military
aggressiveness. It would seem rather to forecast intisifica
tion of Japanese resistance, which is indicative of a growing
alarm over the seriousness of their predicament.
Dr. Willis B. Morse
When peace returns and the final roll is called of those
from the Salem community who gave their lives for their
country and for humanity, no name will be more highly or
rightfully honored among the casualties of war than Dr.
Willis B. Morse, beloved dean of the medical profession in
this part of the state for whom death ended 53 years of
professional service here yesterday. For it was Dr. Morse's
concept of professional duty in the emergency of the past
two years that speeded his passing.
; Well past his seventy-fifth birthday when we were pre
cipitated into the war and even then in failing health, Dr.
Morse unflinchingly shouldered more and more of the bur
den of administering to the home front as one after another
of his younger colleagues were called to the armed services.
Four months ago he cracked under the strain of his con
scientious regard for his patients, whose calls were to him
commands, day or night. The declining years of semi-leisure
he scorned the idea of retirement he had planned were
never his.
As one who always gave more than he received, the com
munity and his friends were the richer for having known
Dr. Morse. A student, a scholar and a leader he contributed
materially to the advancement of his profession in which
he ranked high and held nationwide recognition. His ca
pacity for understanding, friendship and loyalty was unlim
ited, his ethical concepts of the highest and his creed that
of labor in the interests of humanity. He was a good man.

Dr. Willis B. Morse was
gentle spoken, mild mannered,
always the gentleman. But un
derneath smoldered the soul of
a fighter, not the truculent,
pugnacious type with the ever
present chip on the shoulder,
but the soul that would and did
fight for the things he held
precious and dear above all
else. In particular we have in
mind the ethics and standards
of his profession. If any man
ever believed in the holiness
and the sanctity of medicine
and surgery it was Dr. Morse.
He realized that from time im
memorial there have been
quackery, charlantanism and
knavery practiced under guise
of the healing art. When such
as these threatened what he be
lieved in so thoroughly and
completely, his lips drew into a
little finer, thinner line and the
fighting instinct was aroused.
He entered the battle quietly,
but in dead earnest. The high
standards of medicine and sur
geryjwhich have been reached
in Oregon owe a great debt to
Dr. Morse. As a member of the
state board of health he also
was a crusader for better sani
tary conditions and never rest
ed in that fight. It is almost an
axiom that the people who have
nothing to do can never find
time for much in the line of
public service. Those things are
done by people who also are
weighted down with the con
slant drain of their personal
affairs. Of the latter type was
Dr. Morse. His profession made
demands on him, both day and
night, for over 50 years. But in
spile of It he always found
time to carry out his duties as
a citizen and a great protagon
ist for his profession and the
humanities. A rare, fine type
of a man, a human nugget who
assayed high in the golden
things of life.

77ieWar Today
By DeWitt Mackenzie
An Interpretative analysis of
war developments by a fam
ous Associated Press war correspondent.
There can be no doubt that
the attempt on Hitler's life has
signalled a rebellion of danger
ous size against his regime,
despite his claim that only a
"small clique" of officers are
involved.
The gravity of the situation
is made atartlingly clear by the
dictator's move in conferring
the powers of life and death on
Gestapo Chief Himmler and
setting that arch-murderer to
work in another bloody purge.
It is emphasized by the pan
icky appeals which Marshal
Goering and others of the fueh
rer's captains have made to the
army and navy to remain loyal.
Hitler says that the coup was
aimed at paving the way for
the surrender of Germany. That
likely is true, but it still leaves
much mystery surrounding the
attempted assassination of the
man who, evil as he is, has ex
ercised one of the most power
ful leaderships in history.
Blood Purges Revealed
Hitler's leadership, especially
over the younger generation of
fanatical nazis whom he him
self created, has remained
strong. Many have literally re
garded him as a messiah.
Why then should any of his
own people want to assassinate
him? Well, there are a dozen
good reasons. He has had his
awful blood purges, and massa
cres and he has used his power
of life and death ruthlessly to
enforce his orders. However,
we seem to be dealing with a
revolt among the armed forces,
and we have a logical explana
tion in the remarkable declara
tion a couple of days ago by
nazi General Edmund Hof
meister to his Russian captors,
ter terms that Hitler is respon
sible for the German disaster in
the eastern theater because of
insistence, against the judgment
of the high command, on cling
ing to positions to the death re
gardless of mountainous cas
ualties. So it seems that the
mad-dog of Berchtesgaden fin
ally bit himself.
