THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOB GOVERNOR ,
POLITICAL interest lias been
tion of a Republican candidate to succeed the late George
Joseph that most people have overlooked the fact that the Demo
crats have a candidate of their own and will have something to
say about who will be the next Governor of Oregon.
Kdward F. Bailey is the Democratic candidate; and on Sun
day last lie publicly announced his platform. Disregarding cer
tain conventional gestures regarding Republican corruption,
.und domination of tho party by selfish interests, which every
Democratic candidate must suberibe to the platform is a good
one, and demonstrates that whatever else Mr. Bailey, may
be, he isn't a four-flusher and a demagogue.
AVer Jlr, Bailey not a man of character, with certain defi
nite convictions of his own, he would have taken over the
Joseph platform, in tolo, and endeavored to secure the radi
cal Joseph following at the outset. This would have been the
easiest way, the obvious strategy of the opportunist.
OUT Mr. Bailey not only refuses to accept some of the Joseph
planks; he definitely opposes one of tho most important
ones, namely, tho planlc favoring the elimination ' of the
State l'ublic Service commission. , ,
Instead of abolishing this
safeguard against uncontrolled
would allow public utilities
Legislature, and return to the
will bear; the-Democratic candidate favors retention of tin:
commission, with absolute insistence upon its protecting the peo
ple s interests as originally designed. . 1
Hero is tho Bai:ey plank :
Tho public service commission Is appointed by tlio governor.
This commission can and will be made un effective instrument in
securing lower public utility ratos and charges through tho ai
polntment to Its membership mon of tho highest type and atand-
,lng who properly conceive that the commission is a direct repre
sentative of the people in their dealings with the utilities, and
who will, upon their own inltlutlvo, work and act with that view
point, and I, here and now, pledge thut 1 will not appoint any
member ot this commission who Is in any way suhjoct to the In
, fluence or control of the public, utliitlos. 1
, .The commiBHlon should bo grunted strict supervisory powers
over capitalization, costs of properties und methods of operation
of tho utilities. A reasonable return upon the fair and honest
value of the properties devoted to public use, and not watered
capitalization and useless properties, should be the basis of rate
making. , t
That doctrine regarding the
absolutely sound. Abolishing

properly.
Under modern conditions a public service commission in a
state is as necessary as a police force in a city. Tho thing to do,
when the members of either fail to do their duty, is put in mem
bers who "WILL do their duty, instead of jumping front the
frying pan into the fire, by trying to get along without public
service commissioners or a city police force entirely.

as heartily agree with him. l : .
But tho main point wo wish to stress is this:
, Tho Democrats undoubtedly have a good level-headed, .de
pendable candidate, this year. There is every reason to believe
tho Republicans will choose a candidate of the same type, at
least as far as tiny "L" raising, trouble-making proclivities are
concerned. . ,
Therefore, tho people of Oregon who care more for the "wel
fare of the stato than tho fortunes of any .particular individual
or any partisan organization, should have at least two good
candidates to choose between, and not find it necessary to
jump the reservation and throw their votes away on some ram
bunctious Independent, simply because their own party candi
date docs not happen to appeal to them, ,
All of which is to the good.

POISON IVY DAYS
Writing this July 11 I am uncer
tain whether spring is came or has
went. As a rulo I cannot be sure
winter Is over un
til tho last call
for first aid for
chilblains 1 8 In.
This year It has
not yot arrived,
so you Bee what
a quandary I am
In. Then the sit
uation is compli
c a t e d by the
brisk demand for
something to prevent or relievo Ivy
poisoning, a demand which has de
veloped early In (he season.
Somo time ago K. M. told us here
how he had chewed some poison
Ivy leaves on a dare and suffered
"the usual result but no internal
disorder." That was when he was
a boy. To this day, ho wont on to
report, he seems Immune to Ivy
poisoning. -
Soon' after this B. V. R. wrote
from Massachusetts that neither
common poison' icy nor poson su
mac nor poison elder poisons him
any more than clover grass. Once
as a boy ho sa a farmer's cattle
apparently browsing on poison Ivy,
anu me tarmer assured him it did
not hurt cattle and also that if he
would chew a leaf now and-then
he, too, would be Immune against
poisoning. So he tried it. and he
has 'continued throughout life chew-
mg ono or two of the tender volintt
Ivy lonvos In the spring ench Ben
son and remaining quite immune.
Next H. M. wrote from Nebraska,
that when he was a lad In his teens
(he is now 78) back in New York
state where poison ivy abounds
along the atone wall fences it made
his life miserable. Hut since one
of his neighbors told him to do as
the neighbor's doctor had advised
the neighbor to do, nibble a tender
young poison ivy leaf every morn-
iiiB tor several (of course it was
a vory particular, number of morn
ings, but as Amos says, laln'a-go-goln'
to do It), H. M. has never
been poisoned, and lhat is 30 years
of Immunity for him. He still eats
a leaf of poison ivy now and thon
wnen ho happens to como upon
some in his work. - :. i ,
Heforo the reader decides to tvv
this truly heroic means of galnlns
the coveted Immunity r warn hm
that he does so entirely upon his
own responsibility, and I shall havo
neither sympathy nor surcease to
oirer in the ovont that his little
experiment proves painful. Sev
eral correspondents In recent years
nave reported thnt they suffered'
Bovere poisoning when thov tried
eating poison Ivy leaves or berries.
On tho other hnnd, tho majority
who nave reported their exnorlence
declare that they suffered no un
pleasant eflocts and bellovo they
have gained Immunity by the prac
tice In several Instances of poisoning
reported to mo the correspondents
nalvoly admlttod they had onten
several leaves.
If I were going to try this ex
periment I should proceed with
cutttinn. Vat tho first step I should
pinch off a sieck ot a young leaf
tho stun of the head of a pin. not a
coupling pin hut a littlo straight
wire pin audi us you have to havo
to soo (ho neighbor kids' circus. I
should pinch it o(f, moreover, with
twooaora or somothlng, or wear rub
ber gloves to protect my skin from
other contact with tho ivy. Then
should carry tho hit of luaf In mv
mouth n m Inula by the watch and
no longer. If no unpleasant conse
quences ensued 1 should have sn
ot hor try at it threo days Inter,
this Itnio taking, say, half a small
leaf. If this proved comfortable.
at tho end of Ihe week I should
chow one entire leaf. Then I
should call It a season and content
myself to worry .aluug till the fol
lowing autumn or spring lor nu-
other course, of treatment.

with a solution of halt' an ounce
of aluminum chlorld in three ounces
of water and let it dry before dress

cousins marry would their chil

Ans. Prom the eugenic stand
point of view there is no objection
to the marriage of cousins. 2. Only
In case there is some heritable
taint or defect in the- family.
The Tonsil Talkers
Would you advise me to have my
tonsils removed by X-ray? I have
had one treatment but was told I
will need seven- more. Friends say
this method Is absolutely no good,
and one doctor says that It is dan
gerous. (A. B.)
Ans. In the hands of a compe
that physician the method is safe
enough. It doesn't remove tonsils;
it merely induces atrophy or shrink
ing. It is not very satisfactory In
cases where a focus of Infection is
to be cleared up. On the whole I
should advise diathermy extirpa
tion of the tonsils rather titan X-ray
treatment.

unusual and ex
citing adventure
the children had
ever had. Tho
Little Black
Clock had turn
ed the time back
100 years!
The horses had
gamed at first,
and then the lo
comotive had
passed them, and
John was certain
the locomotive was going to win
when something happened to the
Sundown
locomotive. ' ' . ,
Something about it was not
working Just right and then
then the horses dashed ahead
and. the race was won by them!
That was tho greatest surprise
Jobn Jhud ever had.
"I never believed that would
happen," he said.
"That's because It wasn't qulto
perfect,'-' the Little Black Clock
said, "but it is showing people
that a steam locomotive can . be
used on turns and hills and grades
and in very little time thore'U
be plenty of steam . locomotives
everywhere. '
"But I am so glad that you liked
seeing this race and seeing what i
happened. v
"It's always fun to see the be
ginning of things," he added.
"I never1 believed that would
happend," John kept repeating.
"No; I never believed that horses
would win in a race with a loco
motive. You certainly turnd the
timo back when that happened,"
he ended. .
The Little Black Clock'took the
children hack homo again, and
once again he told them thai he
had enough magic so that he could

they would never lose any of their
sleep. i ; 1 .
Before he left them he told them
that on tho next evening he would
take them on another trip, and
he thought they would be u mused
by it, too.
But John could not get over
having been in a race in which
horses had beaten a train.
S4e would never forget that as
long as ho lived and how tho
Clock had turned tho time back
ono hundred years so thut wus
possible to sec! t
