This method to our mind went out with the horse and buggy and at recent sectional political meetings held in the county only a handful of people have been present. With the voice of nationally known orators discussing the platform and principles of the two major parties over the rrdio every night there is no incentive to hear local people talk about even lo al issues on which most people either are informed or can be if they so desire. If all tlie countv candidates should appear on a program it would in n> • mi .ml iMr -som and result in more candi­ d a t e s in ing present than listeners. It takes more than candidates to put on a successful political rally. BELIEVES PEOPLE HAVE RIGHT TO VOTE James Mott’s stand on the eighteenth amendment is logical to those who believe in a democratic government even if it does not satisfy some of the most ardent prohi­ bitionists. In his race for congress he holds that the con­ stitution of the United States is the people’s instrument and as such they have a right to vote on w hether they want to change it or not. Since congress has nothing to do with the constitution therefore no congressman has a moral right to prevent the people voting on the constitution any time there is a wide demand to do so on any pertinent issue, he declares. Therefore he favors re-submission of the eighteenth amendment. -- - ------ »--------- ROGUE RIVER FISHING The people of the Rogue river district are out to close the stream to commercial fishing. This time they are out backing their argument up for the closing bill in Nov­ ember with some figures that most people can understand. They declare that a salmon caught by a net brings the state of Oregon about 40 cents while one caught on hook and line usually brings the state about $10 if taken by a tourist. It is a foregone conclusion that fish nets and hook and line cannot both continue to operate on the lower Rogue. We have previously opposed this bill on the grounds it was destroying an industry but recently we have come to realize that it is a small unprofitable industry that benefits only a few itinerant fishermen. NO REVOLUTION These are turbulent times. From almost every part of the United States we get reports of groups of distressed and indignant citizens taking the law into their own hands for various purposes. Bonus-seeking veterans march on Wash­ ington to demand relief from congress. Farmers of the Middle West blockade the highways leading to the cities to maintain the price of farm commodities. In this country we Understand such manifestations. They occur whenever we have a serious industrial depres­ sion or whenever the return to the farmer for his produce continues below the level of profit for any considerable time. It does not take a long memory to recall the tobacco war in Kentucky when the “Night Riders” destroyed the seed beds of planters who would not join the equity. Coxey’s army of 1893. the Pullman strike of the same year and, going farther back into history, thé “Molly Maguires" and their riots in the Pennsylvania coal and iron country, were alarm­ ing manifestations of unrest in their time. European observers read reports of these things in the cable dispatches and conclude that the United States is on the verge of revolution, evolution, to the European, means only one thing, the forcible seizure of the government by a desperate populace. W'hat Europe does not realize is that in the United States, where every citizen has an equal voice in the government, it has never been necessary for any group with an honest grievance to resort to armed rebellion. In one sense, we are in a constant state of revolution in America—that is in the sense that our governmental policies and methods are constantly undergoing change. One has only to read the political and economic history of the United States intelligently to realize that we have ad­ vanced, by this process of social evolution, faster and more certainly in the direction of universal liberty than any other nation has ever advanced by revolution. In the last twelve months Attorney General Mitchell has convicted 50,000 people of violation of the liquor laws in federal courts and has collected $8,000,000 in fines. Surely we cannot say that prohibition enforcement is lax even if drinking is rapidly increasing. ----------------- a*----------------- Well they are not going to have a bull fight in Salem after all but they still have their board of control meetings. Humane authorities can’t stop that, even with sufficient gounds. WARNINGS AGAINST I heard a blithering charlatan the other night, hawking a well-known nostrum, and for every imaginable, trumped- up reason, urging the simple listener to buy it. You have heard this ballyhoo many times, delivered in a solemn, al­ most ministerial voice. 1 imagine they sell millions of bot­ tles of the stuff—nothing certain about it but the pay for it. This nostrum, you are assured, is good for everything from snake bite to gangrene! It was being exploited as a cure for Ivy poisoning, common at this season. Somebody in despair had “swabbed the infected area—it acted like magic.” The exploiting dramatist said the victim had acci­ dentally touched “poison oak.” That name is as ancient as the nostrum racket. Poison oak indeed! Absolute ignorance was shown in the reference to “the Infected” area. Ivy poisoning is not an “infection.” No more than a burn by fire is an infection. It is simply an in­ tense acid irritation—no infection-germs involved in the process. 1 have an idea that ivy acid would destroy many infecting micro-organisms. There is no “infected area” in rhus poisoning. Carbolic acid is one of the deadliest po'sons on earth; it needs no “germs” to aid it in killing folks. The commercialized huckster that tells you his stuff will make wholesale slaughter of “germs” in so many sec­ onds is good to be wary o f : he probably never saw a germ in his life; he is simply out to do a million dollars worth of business, and, you pay the freight, dear reader. Ask your family physician, who has been trained by the best methods kaown. F U N D A M E N T A L S for fam ilies I m et an old friend the other day In a little New England villas».
