The Oregon Journal for example, has lambasted the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill, innumerable times for imposing the highest rates in history and robbing the common people for tho benefit of Big Business. But when it comes to an Oregon product, the esteemed , Journal maintains that the Smoot-llawiey rates instead of being j too high AREN'T HIGH ENOUGH! j Oregon and Washington senators it declares, have an oppor- j tunity to render their state putting a ingn import tax on mmoer, as nas Deen aone on coai and oil, and thus save the American market for American ocrmen, ana pui minureas ot the job. IT IS difficult to believe one's cars! From the standpoint of the Journal this is nothing short of political treason. For if it means ANYTHING it means the Journal believes in the principle of a high protective tariff. It means the Journal agrees that such a tariff would reopen closed mills and put thousands of idle men to work. If this is true of Oregon's chief manufactured product, then why isn't it true of the chief manufactured products of oilier states f J"0E.S the Journal seriously maintain that placing ,i liiuli tariff on the chief product of Massachusetts, is a CHIME, and placing the same tariff on the chief product of Oregon ISN'T! This is the only conclusion a reader of Oregon's foremost Democratic nowspaper, can reach. It curses out Hawlcy for granting tariff protection in the East, and then curses him out for not granting it in the West. Poor old Willis and all the other Republicans. As far as the Oregon Journal is concerned they are demned if they do, and damned if they don't ! Know Your History TPHIS is a good time for the American people to read up on the history of their own country. During the past few days we of Medford to whom we gave One agreed with "Judge" that "the fear as to WHEN business will return to normal is exceeded by the fear that it HAS." He was convinced this depression is worse than, and different from, all other depressions, and figuratively speaking marks the end of the world. The other w"s a middle-aged man out of a job, who was convinced that for him there could be only ruin ahead, for men down and out at 40, "never come back." TpIE first man was advised to read tho history of the cco- nomic depressions in this oountry the past 100 years. Such a reading would show him, that every depression at the time, has been gonerally considered the worst and the last, the end of a good time era, never to return. And yet each depression has been followed by an era of greater prosperity than ever beforo. Judging the present by the. past, and this is the out standing lesson of all human history there is nothing inhorient- ly different in this depression, No, 1 expressed.

At 40, Grant was not only down and out, he was a drunkard and a deadbeat. He and his family were kept from starvation only by the grudging aid of his two brothers, who pitied poor Ulysses, who had made a complete failure of everything he had attempted. ' Yot ten years later U. S. Grant, was tho hero of his country, President of the United States, later to be aoclaimed by the crowned heads of Europe, as he made a triumphal tour of the world, the most outstanding success in his generation. XI71IAT folly then for anyone "down and out at 40" to see only ruin ahead. Equal folly to regard this depression as the end of the world, when all previous depressions have been similarly regarded, and none proved to be. "Know thyself" and know your country, it's the best recipe we know for confidence and optimism at the present time. V Jley View VALLEY VIEW. Or., April 8. -(Apt.)

When the two moat promi nent Democratic candidates are League of Nations men, and wobblers on prohibition, there is reason for Republican cheer fulness. President Hoover will get the )ig dry vote, no matter how much his Democratic opponent may wobble, for everybody knows that the Democratic party is the wet party, what ever candidates may say. Professor Gurstang, British archaeologist, announces posi tively that the collapse of Jeri cho's walls was due to a great etirth(uakc, and Joshua's trum pet had nothing to do with it. That, however, will not disturb the fundamentalists. They will say: "All very well, but who MADE THE EARTHQUAKE?" and they will ask also: "Does not a blast explode after the foreman blows hla whistle? May not Joshua's loud blast on his trum pet have been the algnal for the earthquake?" Always you are aurprlsed by "the weaker sex," the Biblical lady driv ing a nail Into the forhead of her people's enemy; bhe wonderful Ro man wife, driving a dagger Into her heart, saying, "It does not hurt," that her husband might find cour age to kill himself; Charlott Corday finding Marat In hla bath, ending him and the French revolution with the same blow, and all the others.

Warden Lawes has reduced the cost of feeding convicts In Sing Sing to less than 24 cents a day. It used to cost 36 cents. Nothing Is charged for labor, cooking, serving; convicts at tend to that.

Unsatis factory food must be avoided, for convlcta will not stand It. Tulsa, Okla., reports a feeding cost that will amase housekeepers even more than the Sing Sing figures.

Lay and medical readen will re call with various emotions the con ductor's characterization of tonsil lectomy (removal of tonsil with g u 1 1 1 otlne and anare or scissors dissection) as "the old Spanish custom." Today. Z am happy to note, a large share of the bet ter physic lana everywhere are using or advising for their patients the modern diatherm method in preference to the old standard sur glcal tonsillectomy. Nothing ao stabilizes a physician's point of view of these quest ions as having the ailment himself. For yean I believed and practiced the policy of waiting 48 noun In cases of appendicitis and then operating If operation seemed necessary. But when I developed appendicitis my self I didn't want to wait at all: my anxiety was relieved only when I was loaded on the little go-cart on my way to the operating room. Physicians u al n g the diathermy (electro-coagulation) method for the tonsils tell me a considerable share of their patients are specialist. You see, the throat specialist know something. Now please turn with me to a tender subject the treatment ol hemorrhoids (piles). Heretofore X have believed and advised that the standard clamp and cautery opera tion Is the beet treatment. In thla operation the base of the swollen inflamed varlcoae vein which con stitutes a hemorrhoid Is seized and constricted In the clamp, and the protruding maaa la either seared off or first sheared off and then seared with the actual cautery an iron heated red hot. Thirty yean ago this was perfectly good surgery. But now It seems pretty crude. Why this sudden change of atti tude? Well, why have eo many good phy sician changed their opinion and practice in respect to the treatment of varicose veins in the legs, in fected tonsils and hernia in recent yean? Because more satisfactory and safer method have been found practicable. Here and there (at present I know of only a few) physicians are treating hemorrhoids with much sattlsfaction by the Injection meth od, which need not give any pain and doe not detain the patient from ordinary activities. This method has proved so great an improve ment upon the standard clamp and cautery operation that I am confi dent It will come Into wide use among thinking physicians, and ac cordingly I am giving the informa along In Mussolini's path, or find a new way, outside of anarchy? In Nice, a divorced man marries a young woman, also divorced, and the bridegroom's first wife acted as matron of honor for wife No. 2. To many that will seem a step in the right direction, toward civiliza tion better than having wife No. 1 wait outside the church, or mayor's office, with a shiny dagger. To othen tt will aeem a atep in the direction of the monkey house and the moral of that institution. British, trying out a new theatre tax, find attendance at moving pic tures reduced by one hundred and sixty-five million In the first twelve weeks. That should Interest the bud get balanoen at Washington. Penalizing certain businesses and industries, in the hypocritical at empt to avoid the appearance of a sales tax, will cause trouble. 4 Communications Sing and Keep Awake. To the Editor: A few dava aco a man came to our farm hoti5e and asked to be allowed to us the telephone to call for assist ance from Medford. as he had met with a bad accident. His car had left the grade and waa a complete wreck. Luckily, he was not badly in jured. He fell asleep at the wheel. There la a sure preventive for sleep ing at the wheel. I have tested It out on long trip one to Portland and another to Roaebuxg. I did not feel well and an Irresistible Inclina tion to aleep c.me over me. It oc curred to me to sin, or at least try to. The result was msttlcal. The sleepy feeling left rae. I used my voc! organs continuously for about half an hour. After that I could speed along for 20 minute or so quite comfortably. If the aleepy feeling creeped on me acaln my singing would soon drive it away. After all. it ha the same effect av talking. No one goes to sleep in the. middle of a conversation.

If any of the self-constituted menton or lead era of the profession question the propriety of this, let him dare to criticise me for it. In view of the history of the Introduction of ton sil diathermy to the American pub lic I doubt that any medical per son of standing will venture to voic his disapproval of my "promotion" of thla Injection treatment for hemorrhoids. It should be clearly understood that the Injection treatment 1 one which any good phsyiclan may give In his office. It is applicable for internal hemorrhoids only. It is not suitable for external hemor rhoids. Internal hemorrhoids con stitute perhaps 85 per cent of all troublesome cases. I do not give any of these newfangled treatment myself, but I should think any doc tor who attempts them would have to receive penonal Instruction in the technic from a colleague who has had experience with it, In order to apply It successfully. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Don't Toughen Skin. Can you suggest some method of toughening the skin on the bottom of the feet? How about a dally bathing with salt water and vinegar? R. J. Answer It is not advisable to try to toughen or harden the skin of the feet. Rather try to keep It soft and pliable. Send stamped enve lope bearing your address and ask for Instructions for care of the feet. Ultraviolet. Are direct ultraviolet rays' tnju rlous to the eyes, in electric arc welding? At what distance from the flash do the indirect rays be come harmless? Is the Injury per manent? Coufd you please advise to provision made by law In New York state . . . T. W. B. Answer1 Yes. If the eyes are not carefully protected the glare from the welder is likely to cause cata racts tn time. I cannot tell you what distance 1 eafe. Write the New York state labor department at Albany for Information about laws. Drinking Hot Water. Is It harmful to drink hot water? I take two glasses of hot water be fore breakfast, and two or three before retiring, and during the day drink anywhere from 6 to 10 glasses warm or hot ... I never drink cold water. I am always cold . . . B. G. Answer No. Feeble or elderly persona often prefer hot water, es pecially In the morning, and it is all right for them. Younger per sons should drink cold water. Cold water Is stimulating Just as cold air Is. It Increases the flow of gas tric Juice, hence aids digestion. (Copyright John F. Dllle Co.) awake. Singing at the wheel has the same effect. Just try tt. Sing, or try to, or Just pretend to sing. Mease. Mr. Editor, publish this: tt may save many a bad accident. The man who came for assistance to our house the other night Is going to try this preventive for sleeping at the wheel; others may do so. SYDNEY S. BARKER. "Myrtllla Farm, E. P. P. D, Oregon.

"To you who hold the destinies of civilization In your hands, science ha at last ac complished what all the philosopher of all the ages have dreamed of: it ha made the world on. This new compactness la based on nothing else but stubborn fact. You cannot bring your dynamite and your TNT into this unity without blowing the wnoie of your civilization Into eternity. Which course will you choose? Scientslst have leaped over national boundaries with men at the helm who have a vision like the late Wood row Wilson, with a rudder made of scientific mental material. The voy age can safely be made and the storm outridden. By using the League of Nations, a cosmic government, and by the oae of laws made by precedent based on the Articles of the Covenant, which can be Improved as needed; having "men of truth.

Talks TD parents WISH THINKING. By Alice sfudton Peale. That people tend to believe and to remember what is pleasant, that they tend to confuse the wish with the fact these are old stories In modern psychology. As parents, however, we largely fall to understand and apply what this means in rearing our chlldnn. We peralat In demanding of thera absolute truthfulness. We neglect to make allowance for the child's natural tendency to ay what he wishes were so Instead of what actually la so. We say that he lie when he la only Indulging in a crude and naive form of the wish thinking which is characteristic of most of the men tal operations of adult.

A child will alway remember the day. the hour and the place when a party, a treat or a pleasure or any sort is scheduled. He will not always recall Just when his composition was due on what day he waa supposed to mow the lawn. The aame drive which makes a child forget dutlea and remember pleasures, which makes him Invent delightful happenings in place ot painful and humiliating ones, causes him sometimes to distort the be havior of others.
