The Strange Case of Alfalfa Bill
A LFALFA BILL has been found, but the mystery of his dis
Bppenrance hasn't been explained.
We doubt if it ever will be, at least to the satisfaction of
those who assume Alfalfa Bill is what he HIETENDS to be.
TPIIE Governor of Oklahoma pogcg as another "Sockless
Simpson," a simple-minded product of the soil, crude,
illiterate, common as dirt, with only one deep passion in life,
the amelioration of the lot of the common man.
As a mutter of fact Alfalfa Bill is nothing of the sort. In
stead of being illiterate, he is one of the best read men in the
United States. Instead of being "sockless" he always wears
them, usunlly silk ones. His shoes were off and the socks very
much in evidence when he was found, puffing a two-bit cigar,
in his Drawing room on the swank "Portland Rose" somewhere
in Idaho last night. Instead of being simple, he is extremely
complex.
AT this point we hear someone say Alfalfa Bill is merely
"another demagogue." He is a demagogue all right
but not just "another one." He is a very unique and originnl
one. Which is only another way of saying he is a demagogue,
when his shrewd and calculating mind, tells bim, that it is the
profitable thing to be, and at no other time.
When he appears before an audienco where demagogucry
isn't wanted, as ho did in Washington, D. C, a few months ago,
for cxamplo, he is as logical and straightforward and convincing
as any true statesman could be.
And whon, as happened in his state of Oklahoma not so long
ago, support of big business, in the shape of the Oil Trust, ap
pears the politio course to pursue, there is Bill fighting the
fight of Octopus Sinclair and all the little octopuses.
IN Short, Alfalfa Bill is the Opportunist par excellence. Ho

I "Original"-only interested in

A Jt effort lo cinssjfy him fails, nnd any effort
! to chart his future course is futile, because like the chameleon,
his color and character at any
surroundings.

MENT than anything else.
So characteristically he dropped Oregon like a hot cake,
didn't even tako the trouble to announce a change in plans, and
eastward he sped, as fast as train and plane could take him.
e e e
THERE is a valuable lesson to be derived from this sudden
"fado-out" of Alfalfa Bill in Oregon, but we doubt if
many will take the trouble to profit by it.
Qovornor Murray as a presidential candidate is undoubtedly
through as far as this state is concerned. But sooner or later
another supcr-domagoguo will take his place, and scores of the
rank and file will fall for him,
Tho losson is briefly that every supcr-domogogue is also a
supor-egotist. Under a smoke screen of devotion to others, he
is invoriably dovotcd only to himself. So when any REAL
test ootnes and soonor or later the real test always comes,
whon the solfish intoreBts of the demagogue and the real inter
ests of the rank and file do not ooinoide
Tho supor-domagoguo hops the first train for other parts,
and his followers poor doludod simps are left as they are
today in Oregon, oomplotoly bcfuddlod and mystified about
everything excopt that '
THEY ARE HOLDING THE SACK I
The Tortoise and. the Hare
XlIIILE on this super-demagogue subject, might we add, that
if ono searched the entire country for the complete anti
thesis of tho type, that search would end at the White House f
rresidont Hoovor is undoubtedly the outstanding anti-doma-gogue
today in American public life.
In fact, if ho were just a little bit more of a demagogue a
bit nioro of the four-flusher and professional glad-hander, his
political future would look far brighter, than it does today,
e e e e
IJOWEYER there is one important fact about this demagogue
business. It's like the get-rich-quick gold brick business.
Works like a house-a-firo for a certain length of time, but sooner
or later too frequently LATER it ends in defeat and disaster.
It all conies back to'Lincoln's wise aphorism "you can't fool
all the people all the time." They may be dishearteningly slow
to get onto the graft, lint our political history demonstrates, that
eventually they always do.
A ND the oonverse is true. The Hoover type, free from guff
and bluff, scorning the false and specious arts of the street
carnival fakir, climbs a rough and up-hill political road, but he
CLIMBS nevertheless.
The people don't go craay about him, they refuse to throw
their hats in the air whenever he appears, but gradually bit and
bit, stop by step, they come to have a certain solid respect and
confidence in him. They realiio that whatever falls, they can
always depend upon him to do what he believes to be best not
for himself, not for this faction or that, but for the people of
the country, AS A WHOLE.
It is tho old parable of the hare and the tortoise agniu.
There has been nothing thrilling or spectacular about tho politi
cal progress of Tortoise Herbert but the fact remains he has
been going ahead lu his own somewhat lumbering way, while
the political hares have beci running around him in circles.
A couple of months ago . wouldn't have believed it possi
ble. But today we have a strong hunch Will Rogers wasn't as
crazy as his follow democrats thought him when he predicted
President Hoover would be re-elected.
Even today, our prediction would be otherwise. But prob
ably when that historic race between the rabbit and the turtle
started, the present writer would have backed the rabbit, at
no smaller odds, than TEN TO 0NE1

HEARST RANCH, San Sim
eon, Cal., April 12. Beautiful,
is this mountain side, half way
between northern and southern
California. W. R. Hearst, born
in this state, with newspapers
in north and south California,
lives, tactfully, in the middle.
Ho did not plan it, but built
his house on the hills over
which he rode, as a boy with
his father, who raised cattle
and horses here on fields where
oats grow wild, and pasture
lasts the year round.
Easter lillics as big as sun
flowers grow in the open here,
fifteen hundred feet above sea
lovel, and scores of other flow
ers, including many that are
strange, growing thiok and
rank as red clover.
Mild eyed kangaroos gaze placidly
upon you, free In wide fields, not
knowing or caring how they got here,
from half way round the world. Emus
and cassowartea share their Intellect
ual Indifference, and snow white
deer from Japan,
We human bipeds, similarly, don't
know how we reached this rolling
aphere, whence we came or whither
we are soon to go, and like the emua
ft majority of us are free from Intel
lectual curiosity.
The public learns from Mr. Whit
ney, head of Now York's Stock E
change that the poor Innocent bears
have nothing to do with our troubles,
' The publlo Itself Is responsible. It
should not have gambled ao wildly.
That recalls the saloon keeper'a re
mark pointing to the fallen drunkard
"He drank It, I didn't. Why blame
me?"
Mr. Whitney says also that Mr.
Cooltdge Is to blame, for talking eo
much about prosperity, thus building
up the great bull market of 1029. And
Mr. Hoover was to blame for promis
ing, In hla campaign, that povorty
was about to be abolished forever.
President Hoover said nothing of
the kind. He said that poverty
COULD be abolished. So It could, If
the nation had bralna enough to dis
tribute Its plenty for all, and If men
that rob the people of their savings,
with worthless stock Issues were Jailed
for life. Instead of being merely ques
tioned. --

Lefty Qrove, Wesley Farrell, Lefty do
mes, Long George Kelly, Hafey,

Of the same fifty millions, few
could tell you anything about Olor-
dano Bruno, Arkwrlght, Archimedes,
Servetus, Tamerlane, Harvey, to say
nothing of Thales, Pythagoras, or the
big three, Socrates, Platan, Aristotle.
Yet, Incredible as It may sound to
"rooters for the Cubs," any one of the
last named twelve will outlive In
men's memories, all the baseball play
ers and olubs.
Insurgent democrats and "progres
sive republicans plan, It Is said to
"soak the rich, Jack up taxes on the
wealthy, Increase surtaxes, estate and
gift taxaa, levy all the traffic will
bear on luxury commodities."
"Soaking the rich," may not prove
to be harmless sport, for, strange as
It may seem, a nation's prosperity
calls for Individuals of Intelligence
and energy.
Henry Ford, the Du Ponts, some
General Motors, and steel men, are
rich. Also, they have paid In wages
one thousand dollars and more, tor
every dollar they own.
Well meaning radicals should make
sure that THEY can continue paying
the wages, before they "soak , the
rich", out of existence.
A religious order once established
Itself In Central America, and arrang
ed to "soak the poor" natives, by
making them work steadily, no play,
only salvation hereafter, guaranteed.
The Indians did not like It. and
stopped having children. Thsre were
no more Indiana to "soak," and the
whole scheme was a failure.
If earnest radicals soak the rich
until the latter cease producing pay
rolls, there may be REAL trouble.

THE PHYSIOLU
Let's forget all the things we know
"which ain't ao" about exposure
and chilling, and try to consider
the thing ration
ally.
Common sense
tells us that
very sudden
change from hot
to cold Is not
dangerous. I n
fact a great
many Individ
uals habitually
subject them
selves to such
change In the
belief, probably well founded, that
It la beneficial to health. Indeed
this la a principle of hydrotherapy
or bath treatment.
Now I ask you In all sincerity,
what difference can It make whether
the sudden change Is in water or
In air? Or whether It Is a change
affecting the whole surface of the
body or only a limited area of tbe
surface?
I hasten to acknowledge that It
Is unwise for one who has worked
up a profuse sweat by vigorous
exercise, play, work, to cease exer
cising and sit down without cov
ering the portions of body thus
warmed up or the whole bcd7 wth
enough additional clothing to keep
him or her . comfortably warm for
an hour or so. Not that there Is
any danger of "catching cold," but
merely because too sudden chilling
Is likely to cause lameness, stiff
ness or soreness In the muscles
of their fasciae, especially If one
la not accustomed to such effort.
A person accustomed to the effort,
or an athlete who Is In good train
ing, is less likely to suffer such
soreness.
Bo far as we know, from scien
tific experiment and from actual
everyday experience, there Is no dan
ger whatever In sudden exposure to
cold after exposure to excessive heat.
The point Is that anybody, even
an Invalid, may safely throw off the
covers or excess of clothing and cool
off In a hurry after a profuse sweat
has been artificially produced by
the application of heat or by hot
drinks or medicines.
If you can rid your mind from
common delusions and traditions
about this you will be compelled
to admit that nearly all the "deaths
o' cold" or "pneumonia" that casual
observers predict from auch exposure
never happen. And If you can stand
off and view the matter through
a cynical eye you will discover that
In nearly all Instances of honest to
goodness pneumonia or bronchitis
ascribed to Inclement weather the
association of the exposure to cold
with the Illness Is In reality a post-
hoc idea, that is, the explanation
Re planned. It Is said, to buy the
Great Wall of China, to preserve It
for posterity. Japan will attend to
that.

fifty thousand dollars by kidnapers,
or perhaps by sharpers that success
fully posed as tbe kidnapers, waited
near a grave yard, while, in the ceme
tery, an old man paid the money. The
child was to be delivered on board
certain yacht. Colonel Lindbergh, who
flew to the appointed place, and
found no yacht and no child has said
"I will not pay another penny in ran
som, until the child haa been placed
In my arms."
When the present search la ended,
It Is predicted by his friends that
Colonel Lindbergh will become lesder

highly organised crime menace.
Whether his child be found, as all
hope It will be, or not. Colonel Lind

Get the Dog Poisoner!
To the Editor:
Much is said st thla time every yesr
about poisoning dogs and other cruel,
heartless mistreatment of dogs, but
the worst tort of flendlahnesa was
disclosed to the Jackson County Hu
mane society Sunday, when one of
the residents of our city brought his
dog to the shelter for treatment by
Dr. Horr, our veterinarian.
The dog. Rough. Is ft little wire
hslred terrier, black and whits, close
ly resembling the toy dogs found on
Chrlatmas trees for children. When
Rough was carried In to the .lamina
tion room he was amy able to wag nil
tall feebly In appreciation, and upon
eismlnatlon Dr. Horr found that some
person hsd poured eulphurlo acid on
poor Utile Rough's back, burning htm
terribly. We all know how serious
and painful even smsll burns are.
and Rough's back Is so badly burned
that hts condition Is critacsl and even
If be recovers It Is doubtful . If his
wooly white coat will ever grow back.
This afternoon 1 went to the shal
icr to ae Rough. He was l7inx In his
bed on bis side, bandaged from bead
to foot, and when I spoke to him he
seemed so grateful, although he could
GY OF CHILL.
Is made AFTER the Illness has de
veloped. The soreness of muscles which U
likely to occur after unaccustomed
violent exercise no matter how cave
fully one covers up after the effort,
or In some cases even In trained
athletes If they are careless, Is prob
ably due to local Irritation from lac
tic acid compounds produced by the
oxidation or combustion of blood
sugar, glycogen, in the muscles.
These combustion products must
be carried away through the blood
stream, not through the sweat. If
any mechanical change In the cir
culation occurs, as from sudden cold
on the surface, the removal of these
combustion products Is retarded.
With good physical training the ca
pacity of the circulation to react
to the demand is Increased. The
well -trained athlete has a better
metabolism, a more active general
combustion or oxidation process than
a person unaccustomed to muscular
work or play.

FREEDOM MISINTERPRETED
By Alice Jndson Peale.
When Jim was a baby bis parents
were enthusiastic about a number of
new educational theories obtained
from various lectures and from books
by contemporary scientists, educators
and psychologists.
They decided to bring up their boy
according to what they held to be
the gist of their new-found knowl
edge. '
Their motto was freedom. Their
child should know none of the cus
tomary restraints. Ho should eat
what he chose, go to bed when be
pleased, play or leam -luite according
to his own impulses. He should never
have to learn the meaning of the
word obedience for would not exper
ience teach him all that he would
have to know?
If both parents had not been busy
with matters which diverted their at
tention from their child they prob
ably would have found plenty uf
occasion to doubt the wisdom of their
course. As It was. they left It to a
swiftly changing row of nurses and
housekeepers to carry out their Ideas.
At 8, Jim represents the perfect
picture of the underprivileged, neg
lected child. He has not learned the
first esent lals about Living with
other people.
He haa not the falntMt Idea of
seemly or considerate behavior. He
lies without a shadow of conscience.
He Is cruel, even brutal, without a
qualm.
He has been brought up not In
freedom but In chaos. The rules, the
short cuts to adjustment in our com
plicated. cJTlllred world that every
child Is normally given In the form
of nurvery training. -hcoling and
the guidance of hi parents, have
be:n denied him.
In many important respects be has

(Continued from Page One )
And when they entered, there was
the suspected moonshiner, sitting
on a rough box before a PIANO
from which he was evoking harmo
nies that would have done credit
to Blind Tom.
He paid them no attention went
right on playing.
QO THEY looked him over, and
upon doing so they perceived
that be was oiled, plastered, corned,
crocked, swacked, lit up like a
Christmas tree suit yourself as to
the particular term.
What waa Intended to be conveyed
by the credible witnesses who were
enlightening this writer's dense Igno
rance was that the gentleman had
partaken of a trifle too much liquor
and was not In full possession of
his faculties.
- He just sat there at the piano
and played soulful melodies on It
while the prohibition officers dug
Into,, the mysteries, of his cabin like
a dog digging up a bone.
They found nothing suspicious.
T1UT THEY reasoned that there
was something slightly peculiar
about a person who would sit at a
piano out In a lonely cabin In such
a state of splfflicatlon that he didn't
know It when his premises were
searched, so they gathered him In
and threw him Into the hoosegow.
Which ended that part of the
story.
N
OW IT SEEMS that this llluml-
nated musician wss really ft
moonshiner and that he had made
him a lot of liquor by the light of
the desert moon, but had suspected
that he might be descended upon
In force some time, ao he had burled
his liquor In good oaken kegs out
under a Juniper and carefully con
cealed the signs of the burying.
After they got through with him
In the hoosegow they turned him
loose and he went back to his lonely
cabin and his piano. . But, lo ana
behold, a whale of a snow had fallen
and under this blanket of the beau.
tlful every Juniper on the mountain
looked Just like every other Juniper,
and he wasn't able to locate the
marks that would tell him where he
had burled the kegs.

trousers to attract attention.
