"POLICK ATTRIBUTE HAS OALITY TO RASCALS" (Hdllno Humboldt Standard.) Every so often tho police are deadly accur ate In their logic. Savants are still trying to figure nut why the Oregonlun can be su disgusted with the Lit. Dig. straw vote on Prohibition, and so uncon cerned about the Portland ball team. Newspapers are urged by the "Safety Council of America," to condemn reckless driving. For years they' have been advising autolsts against trying to occupy crossings with locomotives, while both are In motion, with no de cline in tho quota of undertaker,. It begins to look like tho foot' ball team at "Old Oregon," the coming season, would not be tho usual social unit, selected by the campus politicians to give repre sentation to the leading fraterni ties. Attorney Don Bluojay filed a motion yesterday on bohulf of Charles Woodpecker et al. Becking to close tho Univ. Club plate to commercial worming. Tho muMlc lovers will hold their annual "Hotter Muslo Week" noxt week. Not mentioning the well established fact that thero is noth Ing the matter with tho musio. It's the musicians. The music lovors do not exclusively confluo their amatory activities to music. Occasionally a homely fiddler will get hold of the hands of a good- Inoking ivory pounder of the op posite variety. Tho last time this happened, there was a rhapsody, as the musicians call a knock. It wan a "con amoro" In the first plnce. A male pianist has no class unless he can crank up a piano stool with one finger, for the lady who is going to knock out some' thing written by Chopin, which she pronounces like she was spilt ting kindling. "Long Live Music," Is one of the slogans. It Is notj known wny tney did not emurucu tho musicians In the war cry, i , COFFKU .

But you must not stir It. Your mother tells you quietly, No." Now nit tho people In the room are luughlng. They talk together, vory fust. They say, "No sugar." "Cream." "Oh, morcy. m.U& None for me.

( ? ft r, f, 1 5 .:, I .1 I n i KNOWING as we do the finQciiaructr of Mrs. Ruth lTanna McCormick, we tlo not doubt for a moment that the quarter of a million she spent in the primary, was, as far as she was con cerned, honestly expended. Illinois is a large and thickly set tled state, and to cover it with such an oriQiiizittion us Mrs. Corniiek perfected, takes a great deal of money. Being a woman of great wealth, und tremendous energy and determination, she dQied no call upon her poeketbook, any more than she did upon her time and strength, spending herself and her resources, re gardless of personal sacrifices, up to the last minute of the cam paign, with the most complete abandon. NEVERTHELESS we believe a quarter of a million dollars is too much money for any candidate for any office in a Democracy to spend. In the first place, it gives too much power to individuals of great wealth; in the second place, it offers, even though the honesty of the candidate concerned is unqes tioncd, too many opportunities for graft and corruption. In her testimony .Mrs. McCormick intimated she would en dorse the second statement. She said there should be some law to protect candidates from political helpers during a campaign. Mrs. McCormick, for example, distributed over $100,000 at the request of her county organizations, "he gave this huge sum not to influence voters, but to inform them, lint how could she know how could anyone in her that money might lull, and how, in countless instances, it might be used ? T'J'TERIjY impossible. "With no corrupt prncticiOict, worthy of the name, Mrs. McCormick was defenseless. She had the money, every demand was presented us a legitimate one, she was forced, from the exigencies of tho situation, to close her ij'es and pay so much that with charaeterisl ie, candor.0she admitted,: she idnot know just how much she had expended. DAI) business. Both from the standpoint of a candidate, and from the standpoint of the people. Every se'atc in the country should have a corrupt practice act, with teeth in it, limiting expenditures in favor of any candidate to a decent minimum. With the abandonment of the political convention system, there is no way of giving or wealthy supporters, -an equal chance with the candidate who has both. Hut there is a way of preventing every primary in wealthy stales like Illinois and Pennsylvania being a contest between multi-millionaires cither on the stage or bchiiuj tho scenes, tin orgy of spending, with countless heelers, soaring about, like vultures, waxing fat on the easy picking. And that way is to secure proper election laws in this coun try, and deny office to any candidate who violates them. Therc 's a lot of mofiey in tho cafe business, but it takes so much of the profit to hire a pharmacist. If there's no such thing as a fool driver and your spring sumo time.

THE ADVANTAGES OF DIATHERMY EXTIRPATION OF TO NSILS In a scientific contribution to one the aaii-'dk'Ul Journals Clarence Hi. U. D. S., M. M., gives a brief tMcrlp tion of his own extensive experi ence In perform ing' tonsillectomy in the Ixtndon throat lg'pital ln London, r-ng., and with methods various and lii- struments t h a tj are popular with I throat specialists fn America. He tells ot his dissatisfaction witli the results in many cases, tor surgical tonsillectomy is not always the j great success fn practice that Is is j in the conversations or writings of the throrH specialists. At any rate, Dr. Burton finds electrocoagulation of the toO-lx preferable In many cases In adults, and he gives the profession much practical informa tion about the technic of the work. Finally he Hums up the advantages of this meWiod over surgical ton lectomy as. follows: J. All types ot tonsils, In the adult, are suitable for diathermy extirpation. e 2. Freedom from hemorrhage and post-operative lung abscess. :t. Lack of shock. 4. No pain. 5. No detention from occupa tion. 6. Ability to eat and drink Im mediately al'ter treatment. 7. Und resitlls are exactly what tho doctor makts them, as he can destroy as much tonsil tissue as he deems necessary or stop ut any time he Bees fit. The method has Its drawbacks, too. Here are some of the draw hacks: 1. Complete, extirpation ot ton sils requires perhaps six to 12 treatments in the average case, at Intervals of severttl days, and this Is tedious for both patient and phy sician. 2. Only a few ot tho more pro gressive physicians as yet have the equipment and the special skill to provide the treatment. However, more and more of the better throat specialists are adopting this meth od, especially for handicapped pa tients. , 3. The expense of diathermy ex tirpation is usually no greater than that of tonsillectomy iu the hos pital. Some patients are unwilling to pay for diathermy extirpation. If these things were fairly apprais ed, surely diathermy extirpation would be worth more to the patient. 4. Young children are not suit able subjects for this method, -except a few well trained children In the hands of physicians who have a knack of munagiug such little patients. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Fair Play for All . ' While most of your teachings nre excellent, I think you're going out of your way to belittle the man practicing a specialty. I can't soe the fairness or logic of your screed on that subject. From the remarks of your patients who rather admire you I gather that your reading pub lic Is a bit weary of your dlutrlbes. (A Specialist). . Answer. 1 believe I am glvlng a fair deal to nil concerned, namely, the patient, the family doctor and the specialist. I have had literally thousands of letters from people, who, 1 believe, hnve suffered from tho mistake of running to special ists for something the ordinary genernl practitioner could do as well or better. If any reader can cite an experience tending to show that a patient is wise to go straight to a specialist of his own choosing, rather than consult nn "ordinary" or family physician. I'll be glad to give that side of the problem fair consideration here. Meanwhile, Doc tor, I'm "agin" all specialists who compete with real doctors on tho basis of the popular delusion that o specialist Is Ipso facto more skill ful or better educated than a gen eral practitioner fB. 1 still believe that this modern commercial spe cialism Is a blight on medicine nnd its material success in some com munities is n sad commentary on popular intelligence. Inadvertence lA'st you overlook It I call your attention tq tt short abstract from the British Medlrul Journal re printed In Vol. S4, No. 3. Journal American Medical association. How the eoilor of tho American Journal of 11. Burt Because Nobody Will Take It hvene. rot to dlsfss., diaznusls or trpalment ever let such nu endorsement of elentrocoaKtilatlon (diathermy) of dlKcaued tonsils get by is a mys tery, iu -the light of the attitude of the editor up to the present. (S. J. C, M. O.I Ans. Thank you, Doctor. Tho British Medical Journal, it appears, has published the view of so dis tinguished an authority as McKen zle that "diathermy extirpation will come to he the method of choice for removing tonsils In adults." In In spite of the attitude of the American .Medical Journal, how- ever, tiiis modern method is now the method of choice for moving tonsils ln some of the more fortu nate communities of this country. If Ejy tonsils had to be removed I'd To to a great doal ot Inconven ience or )'pense if necessary to find a doctor who can extirpate them with diathermy. (Copyright, John F. Dlllo Co.) By Richard G. Massock . NEW VOIIK. Manhattan with its hurly-burly pace, Is a wrecking ground for men If they don't watch out. Everywhere people In high post- tions are apt to go to pieces, but here, the psychol ogtsts say, the concentration o f high powered ex ecutives m u 1 1 1 -plies the likeli hood of failure among those who have attained tin; peak. And it is such a condition that consulting pay chologlsts like Dr. Arthur Frank tuouwp a MA5SOCJI Payne, mental hy glenlst to large corporations, are attempting to correct. Salvaging Executives Tho great companies with head quurters In New York "are always having executives who are break ing down or blowing up." said Dr. Payne In his office, secluded among the apartmonts of the fashionable east side. The dangerous age, he added, is from 45 to 65. It is never the tradesman or the worker who gives way under the strain of competitive life. It is al ways the man who has forced his way throngh to a position of re sponsibility. "It Is," said Dr. Payne, "the cap tain ot Industry. "That is why so many of these nt tho critical age begin drinking to excess, running around with young stenographers, or complain ing of ill health because they are trying to escape whatever is mak ing them unhappy." It Is Just to salvage such torment ed executives that "three of the biggest men, Industrially and finan cially, in tho country," send their failing subordinates to Dr. Payne. One International banker had a Junior executive who might have been fired, but his superior wanted to reclaim his abilities. There was something wrong in the inner re cesses of his mind. He was sent to the psychologist, who found it had to do with conditions ln the man's home. His employer learned nothing about this, though. The psychologist keeps each man's se cret and the banker is content to get the executive back. Three Great Fears "You would be surprised' said Dr. Payno, "to see strong men in high positions who come to cry in that very ehnir you are sitting in. "Tho most common trouble is an anxiety neurosi. They can't ride iu subways, they can't ride in trains or they can't rldo in automobiles. "The three great fears, in the or der of 4 heir prevnlance, are Insan ity, denth nnd cancer." To correct tho mental disorders that result ln breakdowns, where mental Illness Is not involved.

I able' crop' damage., Reports today. showed that large louses nave oeon suffered In hay, barley and alfalfa fields, where the standing crops' were flattened to the ground by the downpours, j The cantaloupe crop, which is about to start In volume to east ern markets, also is expected to show considerable loss, due to softening of the melons through excess water. Herds of livestock are being moved out of their green nlfalfa pastures to prevent the soft turf being chopped to pieces. The county horticulture commis sion's office, which reported that a total of half an inch of rain fell, expressed the belief the canta loupe crop damage extended only to melons ready for immediate picking.
