We Like to Play Fair
Although The Miner is plugging for
the democratic side of the local and state
ticket this fall, we can see no justifiable
reason why unfair tactics should be em­
ployed to lose votes for opposing republi­
can candidates.
Bluntly, we are speaking of Jackson
county’s sheriff race, whicn is showing
a trace of mud-flinging lately. We be­
lieve Syd Brown, the bourbon hope, will
make a dependable, efficient sheriff, re­
storing a Ralph Jennings type of official
to this important office, but we can see
no reason why the incumbent aspirant,
Walter Olmscheid, should be attacked on
his present record as sheriff.
We believe Mr. Olmscheid is fully
justified in basing his campaign on his
accomplishments while sheriff of Jack-
son county, taking over duties of the
office at a most critical time, and bring­
ing creditable order out of near chaos.
We mean it when we say he should be
given a vote of appreciation, if nothing
else, for his businesslike management of
his department, in spite of a local un­
pleasantness occasioned recently by two
deputies, later discharged.
The unfortunate and untimely death
of Olga Anderson a few days ago and
the resultant discovery of discrepancy
in her books was most unfortunate and,
we believe, rather than Walter Olm­
scheid having taken advantage of her
death in latest developments, it appears
to all unbiased, informed minds that Mr.
Olmscheid is most certainly being taken
advantage of.
Mr. Olmscheid did not himself make
public the shortage in Miss Anderson’s
accounts. The county court released that
news. There is no reason for blaming the
sheriff because a mistake has appeared
in the dead woman’s accounts which un­
doubtedly could be cleared in a few mo­
ments were she alive. It is sad to see
the dead blamed for mistakes, but it is
even worse when we blame the living
for errors of those who have passed on.
We mean to support the regular demo­
cratic nominee for sheriff, Syd Brown,
but we don’t intend to capitalize on an
incident which undoubtedly saddens Mr.
Olmscheid as much as it does any of the
rest of us. We believe Syd has enough
good points to qualify himself without
resorting to such tactics, and we are
quite certain he is the type of man who
would not want to win the election on
such a basis as that campaign copy re­
cently written on a bias of maudlin sym­
pathy and half-truths, as expressed in
another paper.
Democrats have enough virtue in their
ranks to talk about without adopting un­
fair campaign tricks. And, though we
aim to cast our vote for Syd Brown, we
salute Walter Olmscheid, the republican
incumbent candidate.
Criticism Is A Glass House
*
There are two kinds of criticism, es­
pecially at election time. The kind which
reflects on the person being criticized
and the kind which reflects on the critic.
The latter, which is as good an indi­
cation of virtues of a man or measure
as it is to the lack of such qualities,
should help crystallize voters’ opinions
on several measures to be voted on No­
vember 6. For instance, take the healing
arts constitutional amendment:
Claims being made against this needed
bit of legislation are so grossly exagger­
ated, so bizzare and grotesque, that they
make one wonder just what are the real
motives which prompt opponents of the
bill to take such a ruthless course to de­
feat the amendment. A worthwhile end
should justify only honest, truthful
means, particularly when it comes to

1 “informing” voters about a measure few
understand, yet which was aimed at the
general welfare as against the welfare
of certain favored professional men.
Such impossible statements as “the
healing arts constitutional amendment
will lower hospital standards, wreck the
workmen’s compensation law and en- ,
danger public health” are vicious, delib­
erate attempts at prejudicial misrepre­
sentation of the wording, the purpose
and the practice of the law.
The healing arts constitutional
amendment merely is a sensible, sane
and conservative guarantee of medical
freedom to the people and practitioners
of Oregon. It raises, rather than lets
down, the bars of healing arts require­
ments and will safeguard the state's rec- |
ognition of other branches of healing
arts besides the practice of straight
medicine. It takes away no advantage; it
does give equality in the right to prac­
tice and develop the various drugless
methods of making sick people well.
The healing arts constitutional
amendment will force no certain type of
physician onto the public. It will, how­
ever. prevent the state and the hospitals
