Ye Smudge Pot Bjr Arthur Terrj German Invasion of Poland mlKlit not lio bo much of a "calamity" to the world, as It would bo to the Poles ' About ton days of rigid Teutonic clln- clnllno und mllltury government by KcneralB wltli a "von" In their names, would cause a wholesale decrease in Polish orneryness, and Indiscriminate walklne over International law and order. They would match the Poles back to the plow, where they belong, and start something besides hell, Jew ish massacres, wrestlers, and concert fiddlers. THE failure of the telephone retail, demonstrates the sound com tiioii sense of the people of Oregon. To invoke the recall (.gainst. Fred Williams, chairman of the l'ublie Service Commission; for tho commissions action in raising the telephone rales, uotiiu nae constituted a flagrant alnise of the Oregon system. As this paper pointed out, at the time the recall movement was launched, tlie only one of two daily papers in the state to oppose such action, lo recall a public official lor administrative action, me impropriety of which had not been determined by a thorough inves tigation, would be to completely destroy the efficacy of the com mission. The Public Service Commission w.-ft instituted for two distinct purposes, first: to protect the public against exploitation by the pub lie service corporations; second, to protect the public service cor porations from persecution by the public. In other words the commission was designed as a clearing house through which a square-deal between tin; public and big business could be assured. Now if every decision, unpopular with the public and any rate increase would be unpopular, should result in politi cal agitation and the institution ofthe recall, the public service commission would automatically become merely a political football, and its decisions would be iltitbing more than a succession of efforts to please the popular fancy, with private ownership of public utili ties, utterly impossible. , Our contention was, and is, that before a recall should be con sidered a rehearing should first be held, and the .justice or injustice of the telephone rate raise definitely , determined. Only the com mission had investigated all the facts, the burden of proof, therefore, was upon their critics, and no proof was presented and no proof has yet been presented. The failure of the recall program, indicates that some, such view was accepted by a majority of the people. It also disproves the con tention of opponents of the Oregon system, that the recall would ren der efficient administration impossible, by allowing self interested office seekers to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery every time an official did what he considered right, but which happened to be momentarily unpopular.

There are forty thousand healers who would drive it out; they are optimistic spielers, each a cheerful scout. "Come to me and cease to wor ry," says the healing guy; "I can cure you in a hurry, if you'll let me try. 1 've designed a modern diet ; cat what I shall choose, and the pain no more will riot through your bones and thews." "Try my poultice," says another, "put, it on your toe, and you'll see how quick 'twill smother every ache you know." Says another healer solemn, "Lie down on that bench, and I'll twist your spinal column with a monkey wrench." Like a lambkin to the slaughter to the "cures" I go; I been soaked in sulphur water for a week or ho; I've been decked with mustard plasters rsome stick to me still for the healers arc my .masters, and 1 do their will. Though the healers' glad predictions never are fulfilled, still I listen to the fictions of the healers skilled. F.very new one finds nu; waiting with my checkbook near, and his propheuies elating rob my soul of fear.
