German Invasion of Poland mlKlit
not lio bo much of a "calamity" to the

' 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

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.

THE HEALERS
HKt'jrATlKM in my shoulder, in mv feet, and neck, makes
me feel, as I grow older, rather like a wreck. 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. And the healer, like a linnet, sings his song of praise:
"One is born most every minute, .hence my practice pays."
