McNary Guiding Star of Senate
A Close-up Of Oregon's Senior Senator
Senator CbaH
The following was written
by ono who mingle? with the
Senate. It Is. therefore, an
"Inside the Senate" view.
Headlines seldom chronicle the
activities of Senator Charles L.
McNary of Oregon, these days.
Yet McNary has become the great
est constructive force in the Sen
ate today. That Is. he Is tho man
who Is getting things done. And
results, after all, are what count
In legislative leadership.
Charles McNary Is the modern
Murray Crane. He doesn't pussy
foot and whisper like the puis
sant Crane, although ho does
wear rubber heels and. modulate
his voice. Yet ho speaks wiPh
tho utmost candor. "Honesty Is
tho beat politics," Ifj tho McNary
Slogan. Crane and McNary meth
ods differ in that degree; tho re
sults achieved are the same. They
get votes and votes mean action.
Unfortunately, McNary is not
the titular leader of the senate.
That laurel wreath adorns1 the
classic brow of the bluff, genial
Jim Watson of Indiana. The Ore
gonfan bears modestly the title
of Assistant Republican leader,
lie is loyal, to his chief. What
ever he does, he does In Watson's
name. The hand Is I ho hand of
McNary; the voice Is the voice of
Watson. McNary conceives the
strategy and executes the maneu
ver; Watson gets the credit. Rut
Watson Is quick to' say that lie
leans heavily upon the,; slender
young man of fid from Oregon.
V A Square Shooter's Vower -v
McNary does not drive, nor does
tie lead; ho guides. And nun
rflenranmnolilti 1m ho irctltle and'
deft that It is a pleasurn to go
along with him.. The first essen
tial of this art Is the confidence
of one's colleagues, which he hasj He never lscs an opportunity m

done and done on time. It Is the Harris bill to place MUn Amerl

McNary is Western. He has not of regular. middle-of-the-road,
false dignity, no delusions of j nd Inmirgcnt Republicans vot-
1IIU lnnoiinu .11 It ll I in I Inn- Inuntlier. GlVen MlHO. hft
Muck Charley, lie has carried
the day many times by sheer
imitnhiritv alone. l( Is difficult
to resist this persuasive man with1
a merry twinkle in his nmnn
blue eyes.
Mis real ability lies in knowing
tho man or men to pick In a
pinch. He knows tho background
i and the politics of every man in
tho senate. He Is an amateur
phychologlst. He knows where
an emotion can be touched and
aroused. He seldom asks for a
vote. He merely paints the pic
ture and lays It before the pros
pective voter. Senators .usually
elect to follow his uncanny judge -
ment
The Orcgonlan Is one of a com
paratively few senators who thinks
beyond pet measures and ro-elec-tlpn.
His Is tho clearest hend
and the quickest preceptlon of a
political or legislative situation In
the senate. Call It vision or clear
thinking, but McNary can map
out a situation months In advance
and it ends Just as ho foresaw
It would. Ho did that on the
farm bill. His predictions on the
tariff bill have come to pass at
every Juncture. long ago. he !
said tho President would have bin
way on tho debenture and f lex-j
Ible provisions. f
His skillful handling of the Ad-;
ministration's farm bill won Mc-;
Nary the recognition of President;
Hoover. Since that time he has
been a frequent White House c-on-
sultant. McNary Is not an Ad-;
ministration "adviser"; nor Is he;
a yes-man." If he were tho lat-j
ter. he might bo consulted more (
frequently by the president; and
If his advice had been taken on
matters pertaining to tho senate
the president might have avoided
many difficulties. That, of course. :
is the way the senate crowd feels, j
there is no disposition In that
group to conceal their lack of
faith In Hoover methods nor their
personal dislike for the president.
When asked his opinion, nicnary
speaks his mind and lets It go
at that.
It Is not generally known, but
It Is no secret that McNary ad
vised against the special of cong
ress which brought the president
so much grief. But the president
chose to follow the advice of
Senator Borah, who Insisted that
agriculture be relieved at once.
The president might have kept
out of hot water by following the
suggestion of McNary on the de
benture while the farm bill was
under consideration In the sen-
. 4. jeV
L. McNary
aie committee on agriculture. Ho
urged the president to write a,
ietter which would havo killed
the plan In committee. The prctd-j
dent decided to wait until the de
benture got on "third base" .im
the senate. He got two rebuffs
from the senate for his delay.;
The House saved tho day for the
president.
Had McNary yielded his judge-j
mont to some of tho White House
satellites, who presumably spoke
for the president, there would
have been a grand row over Rc-,
publican committee assignments.
Young Senator La Folletto wanted
to follow his father on the fin
ance committee. He outranked
all applicants In seniority a rule
I nested u po n by M cNary until
the eleventh-hour. Tho applica
tion of Senator Coff was an ob
viously Inspired move to stop La
Follette. 1 McNary would have
none of It. Ho disregarded White
House pressure, smoothed over
tho dangerous situation and won
the good-will of the Progressives.
That act of fair-play Is a part
of McNary's big program an
amalgamation of the Republicans
In the senate. He sometimes
whimsically describes himself as
a "soft-boiled" Progressive, which
is fairly accurate. But ho Is a
strict party man. He Is sincerely
Interested In the success of the
Hoover administration and Is
there to give his best talents to
that end. But above all ho Is
interested In the continued suc
cess of- the Republican party.
McNary knows the rrogrcsmves
en n not be. driven into mo mm
with a t'lllb. with "SOUS of the
wild jackass" jibes, or sneers
about "backward stales." Persua
sion, not force. Is his method.

Ashland Normal Audience
Enjoys Talk By Humorist
I (By F.va New Ion)
Lots of people can write. Iots
of people can talk. Few can do
either entertainingly and fewer
both. Stoddard King, columnist
of Spokane. Wash., author of
"What the Queen Said," "Listen
In the Mocking Bird" and other
collections of humorous poems,
is one of the few. He can do both.
He proved tho fact Wednesday
afternoon to the audience
which gathered in the auditorium
of the Southern Oregon Normnl
School, Ashland, to learn how and
why "To Become a Poet."
The mind and voice of King
are aided in promoting a laugh
contagion by his facial expressions
which make the moRt of dark
eyes and thick, dark brows which
continue far round tho corners of
his forehead, where most people's
brows decldo to stop.
. The more serious the pose tho
author assumes before entering
a new poem, the less serious thq
subject the audience may antici
pate despite atl his statements to
the Contrary, for veracity Is not
one of his selling points.
"It was really to become a
social success that I became an
author," he toldhls audience yes
terday after convincing the crowd
that "publication of three bonks
entitled him to the name. "An
author." ho continued, "does not
have to memorize poems before
ho speaks them. Ho Is allowed
to road them from tho book and

calls tho entertainment a recital."
Ho then told his listeners of his
great desire to be que of the so
cial successes, "who aro begged
to recite poems" at afternoon teas
and parties. He realized he could
never,. memorize the poems, so ho
wrote them In order to surmount
this obstacle.
Spea k ing of mass prod uct in n,
which he declared has Invaded the
realm of poetry with as much em-.
phasls as the automobile Industry,
he Informed his audience that he
has already written more poems
than Keats produced In a lifetime,
but begged them not to "look
down on Keats for that."
"Klqht years ago." he stated, "1
started on my manufacturing ca
reer. In the mass production sys
tem I write a poem every day.
I always start with an idea or
a Jingle. Never use both It Is
wasteful." When he has neither
hn idea or a jingle In mind, as
other "go-get-'em" poets he writes
something and he calls his somo
thlngs "tired poems."
"We have it all over the old
poets," ho added. "I steal my
titles from the very best authors."
After giving his reasons for be
coming an author and ways of
doing the same, none of which
will he Included In text hooks at
the normal school, he read groups
of poems from his three books,
and ended with the ono which
wilt be featured in his next publi
cation, "The Raspberry Tree."

STATE HEALTH
BOARD ISSUES
SWIM 'UTS'
Mermaids and Mermen
Warned to Take Precau
tions and Avoid Pciiuted
Water Safety First Note
Sounded.
SALEM. July ft. The Oregon
State Board of Health has issued
the following bulletin regarding
swimming and swimmers, under
the title:
WIkm? I You Swim?
Swimming is uniu.'ti;ahly one
of the most delightful and health
fu 1 of exercises a nd sbuu Id be
encouraged in every way. If you
haven't already learned to swim
by all means do so. It not only
provides a very enjoyable form
of recreation but It might and
often does, prove very practical
uho. Where to swim should bo
given careful consideration. The!
Wlllamctto river below Cottago j
G ro vo f o r tho g renter pa rt is ,
polluted and swimming Is not safe
from a health standpoint. There
are hundreds of rivers and lakes
throughout the state, ho mo near
by and roiiio fur away, which are
frequented by swimmers or bath
ers. Tho water In many of these
Is relatively safe. In others It Is
not. Short of having a test of
tho water at tho point In which
you expect to swim and at a time
when this body of water and Its
surrounding cotlagoa and build
ings a ro hel ng u sed , t here Is no
wuy of knowing definitely the
purity of tho water but there aro
a number of points of observation
which will be helpful In determin
ing the probable safety of a
swimming place.
(1) Always remember that a
water la nut safe to swim In un
less It la safe to drink.
(2) Don't placo confidence In
tho appearance of tho water. A
water may look perfectly ctoar
and still bo grossly polluted.
(3) .. Pay partloylur attention
to tho location of the lake or
tttream and Its drainage. What
are the possibilities of pollution
from cottages? Aro there streams
running Into the body of water
in which you Intend to swim, and
If so do they contain water of
known purity or may they bo
polluted by drainage from the
territory through which thoy run?
In addition to having safe water
the swimmer should safeguard
hlniHclf with t-PHpert to n. number
of other points.
(1) Never go Into deep water
far from shore unless a good
swimmer or boat accompanies
you. A severe cramp will drown
tho very best swimmer.
(2) Do not go In bathing until
one hour and a half, preferably
two hours, after eating.
(3) If over-heated, cool off
gradually before entering the
water.
(4) Never dive into water
without first determining Its depth
and tho possible presence of rockn
or other obstructions.
(ft Po not over-expose your
self to the sun. Take only a few
minutes at a time in the sun un
til after you have developed a
protective coat of tan.
Learn to swim and enjoy It
but be sure that you swim In safe
wa ter and that you use reason -able
precautions to avoid ponsiblo
accidents.
