THE INDEPENDENT PARTY
We are to have an Independent party composed ot the
defeated candidates at «he last primary election and ol:her
malcontents. This so-called independent party, although
self-appointed and hand picked, is coming b e ^ e ‘he
’*
at the November election seeking to discredit the dub
elected candidates and pretending to be championing the
cause of the common people.
Just whv a few self-nominated should be better quali­
fied to serve than those chosen by the voters is not clear
to us. Under the party primary system those who are
nominated are supposed to represent the party and it is not
legal for a defeated candidate to run for the same o fflo
as8 an independent. If it were legal then there would be
no excuse for the primary. But It seems that a defe*,,d
candidate can run for some other office as an independent
candidate. Such a situation can only muddy the
and
make it harder for the majority to make an intelligent
cvhoice. More than two parties or no parties at all usually
results in chaos and minority rule. One lias to but look at
the political situation in South American countries and
Europe to realixe this fact. ________
NATIONAL GUARD PIT
Oregon units of the National Guard, the nation s first
line of defense in case of war. returned this week from
training camp. Prom all accounts they displayed a know­
ledge of modern warfare and measured up to the high
standards attained by the Guard during the world war.
On account of our small standing army the National
Guard, as in the world war, must be the first to meet the
enemy and it is this volunteer units duty to hold out until
a reserve army can be trained by the regular army. \\ ith
wars and dissension throughout the world It is very import­
ant from that we maintain our national guard up to
standard. The national guard has not the attitude toward
war of the professional soldier and is the logical unit for
this country from the standpoint of peace and safety.

ENGLISH. 1000 WORDS
More than five hundred million people, a quarter of
the world s population, either speak English or live under
the flags of the two great English-speaking nations. Our
language is the most widely-spoken of all.
It is not as easy for those bred to other tongues to ex­
press themselves correctly in English as in some other
languages. For that reason, efforts are being made on
both sides of the Atlantic to organize a simple vocabulary
of less than a thousand English words by means of which
any idea can be expressed
This, is seems, is far more sensible than the various
attempts to create a new "universal language." such as
Esperanto or anything else which is not already familiar
to millions.
The production of lumber amounted to 5,363,049 M
feet, board measure, in Oregon and Washington during
1933. This was 22 «x. r cent more than 1932 and 18 per cent
less than 1931. The NRA seems to be working better in
the lumber industry than any other in the west. Perhaps
the indirect benefits we will receive from lumber will com­
pensate for the hardships that has been worked on other
industries.
We predict that public opinion will rapidly turn against
the longshoremen in Portland if the strike continues.
Shortages of fuel oil and other necessary freight caused
by the strike is now beginning to pinch the Metropolis and
the strike will be mode forcibly brought into the public
mind.
The Blue Eagle News informs us that business has im­
proved the last year as follows: Chicago 32%, New York
12%. San Francisco 18%, Dallas 36%, Atlanta 42% and so
on. These are indexes taken from department store sales.
There is hope for the future.

Like business, elections need volume to get low cost.
Each voter at the primary election cost Lane county 47
cents. Self expression at election time cost the taxpayers
money and the people should make better use of it.

Congressman Mott carried every county in his district
the vote being 48,073 to 17,289 for his opponent in the pri­
mary. Mott has worked faithfully for his district and now
that he has had experience should be returned to Congress.

, DOCTOR.
BITES OF DOGS
I always view the pet dog as an extra hazard in the
household. The animal is always harmless if you keep
far enough away from him. Our children are entitled to
our most watchful care. One baby’s life is worth—but you
know what is on my mind.
Suppose the patient has been snapped by an angry
poodle. Nobody knows anything worth depending on.
Even the doctor cannot tell if hydrophobia germs are in
the dog’s makeup. It takes from two weeks to a hundred
days for hydrophobia to develop in the patient. The only
real safety is In giving the victim Pasteur treatment, and
losing no time about it. Also, confine that dog for the
hundred days, If possible to see if it develops the dread
without effect in preventing or curing hydrophobia. You
destroy some very valuable evidence as to his condition.
Pen him up safely and watch him.
But—if the offender be killed early, its head should
be sent at once to a testing laboratory for examination.
YouKdoctor will direct you in the proper procedure.
The Pasteur treatment is so prepared now, that any
capable physician may administer It. If he cannot, then
seek somebody who can, for no chances should be taken;
once hydrophobia is contracted a cure has never been
known, so far as I know.
I may be writing nothing new. But, only Iasi week
an old citizen came Into my office and asked me If I knew
where she could sell a very valuable ■’mad-stone!” People
are, It seems, still believing in that old bit of witchery of
our forefathers. Mad-stones have long ago been proven
without effect in preventing or curing pydrophobia. You
will not be mis-led by any such thing.
