Editorial Correspondence
PASADENA, Calif., May 5.
The overwhelming defeat of
tbe Sharkey bill in California
provides a good text for a lec
ture on democracy.
From all we can learn this
measure which was passed by
the state legislature and sub
mitted to a referendum by the
people, should from tbe stand
point of the welfare of the peo
ple of this state, have passed.
It provided for the conservation
of oil, the protection instead
of the demoralization of the
California oil industry, and
would therefore not only have
benefited, the industry, but
the people of the state.
The oil bootleggers of the
state however, bitterly opposed
the measure because it would
have destroyed their profitable
graft. So they conducted a
bitter campaign against it, and
were so successful in their bill
board and radio propaganda,
in making it appear a "steal"
on the part of the hated Oil
Trust, that the very people
whom it would have benefited
snowed it under.
WHEN ws first arrived and saw
the effective bill boards,
showing a shsrk about to devour a
hen-pecked Individual entitled the
"common people" with a caption
"down with oil trust" we predicted
the defeat of the bill.
Two days before election a man In
this hotel ssked our opinion of the
measure. Ws said ws knew little
about It, had made no study of the
bill, but had sn Idea It represented a
necessary step to preserve the oil In
dustry of California.
His reply wss "Yeah snd let the
big oil companies charge all ths traf
flo will bear, and make the poor con
sumer psy the freight I"
"But srs you stirs that would be
the effect , of the bill" ws replied.
OF COURSE he was sure. If It wasn't
that why were all the big oil com
panies spending millions of dollars
to put the measure over
.
Not being able to answer that we
called In a Pasadena business man
of our acquaintance who had made
a careful study ot ths proposal, and
Press Comment
POA BULBOSA
Frank Jenkins, newspaper man of
ths upper Willamette valley, South
ern Oregon and the Klamath basin,
tells a story. It Involves the new bluer
grass that grows while other grasses
sleep. And It Involves a man who
would rather make a mountain green
than own a million dollars.
Down on the old Hanley ranch near
Jacksonville, where William Hanley
and E. B. Hanley, his brother, spent
their boyhood, Charlie Hoover, ranch
er, noticed one day a tiny patch of
new bluegrass.
First ot all he noticed that It was
green when other grassee were brown.
It grew In the winter, when other
grasses and alfalfa are dormant. Al
falfa consumes humus and produces
nitrogen. This grass consumed ni
trogen, and produced humus. It wss
good graslng In Its own right, but
particularly good when other gras
lng failed.
There was speculation about where
this gross cams from. No one knew.
No one knows for sure, now. It might
have been received with an order of
alfalfa seed. The point was, that (t
grew and thrived In the Rogue River
valley. Instead of producing flowers
and seeds, as do other grasses, this
grass produced tiny bulbs without
flowers. These grew at the tips of the
blades. In the densely matted roots
were many more bulblets. each about
the else of a kernel of wheat.
The ground was green where the
winter bluegrass grew. The ground
was brown on the mountains be
yond. Ohsrlle Hoover carried hand
fuls of the bulblets In his pocket
ss hs went to and fro. He strewed
them on rocky places and In areas
where grass hadnt grown. Nature,
glad, did the rest. Looking at the
preadlng green. Charlie Hoover said
this meant more to him than to make
a million dollars.
Science says the winter bluegrass
Is Urn Poa bulbosa. Nature ssys It
Is a blessing. So do men. Charlie
Hoover goes on scattering It.
And Frank Jenkins, who believes
that newspapers ahould serve and
that faith In a country Is beat at
tested by works, can see not one only
but many mountains growing green

No action will be taken by the
Jackaon county fair board until ths
lstter part of ths month concerning
a fair this fall, according to County
Agent R. rj. Fowler. It la expected
at that time that C. I. Oates. presi
dent ot ths board, will call the an
nual meeting of the group.
It Is probabls thst a school fair
will be conducted similar to that
of last year Mr, Fowler said, but
nothing will be decided previous to
the meeting.
In ten minutes tslk hs showed this
wss NOT true, that while ths measure
would benefit ths Isrgs oil compan
ies, It would only give benefits to
which any legitimate business Is en
titled. a chsnce to operate at a fair
profit. That unless this measure
or a similar measure WERE PASSED
one' of Csllfornls's major Industries
would be forced to the wall, and ths
entire stats would suffer lose tar
mors In actual dollars and cents than
could possibly be gslned, by the op.
portunlty of buying gasoline st less
than production cost.
The proposition was made so clear,
that the opponent of the measure
switched over completely, not only
voted for the bill, but persuaded his
wife to do the same thing. Neverthe
leas as before stated ths Sharkey bill
was burled under a perfect avalanche
of "No's."
a . .
Why? Simply because a majority
ot the people dldnt do what this In
dividual finally did they didn't In
vestigate the matter for themselves.
They simply swallowed the dema
gogic catchword "harpoon the ahark,
down with the Oil trust," yielded
blindly to their prejudice against Big
Business, voted tor the oil bootleg
gers, snd against the Interests not
only of the large oil companies, but
the Interests of their state and of
THEMSELVES.
a
There Is a practical demonstration
of why our high brow political econo
mists continue to maintain Democ
racy la still on trial, that Its ability
to auccessfully survive, has not been
finally demonstrated. Until a MA-
JOBITY of the people of this country
acquire the habit of doing what this
man' did, looking Into public ques
tions for themselves, turning a deaf
ear to the demagogues, refusing to be
deluded by prejudloe and catch words,
Democracy Is not only on trial, It Is
doomed ultimately to fall.
That Is why svery election day Is
not only a test of good citizenship
but a test of whether or not ths
people, In the face of the demagoguea
and self seeking polltlclsns, are really
capable of governing themselves,
i
They ARE of course but will they?
Or to express It In snother wsy,
will the people ss a whole apend
enough time and thought and study
on public affairs to discriminate be
tween what Is gcod for themselves
and what Isn't, between what merely
SOUNDS good and what IS good.

PUBLIC CRITICISM
By Alice Jutlnon Tenle
None of us enjoys being criticized.
Least of all do we enjoy being criti
cized before an audience. Yet most
children are expected to take with
out a murmur a good deal of correc
tion nnd criticism before others.
Father, looking down the length
of the company dinner table, cor
rect Junior's manners. Mother, en
tertaining guests at tea, tells her
daughter that her hair is badly done,
her dress untidy and that she looks
a sight.
Johnny's poor grades in arithmetic
are discussed while sister stands by,
an unsympathetic and perhaps even
pleased listener.
Whenever one finds It necessary to
criticize his child's appearance, Im
prove his manners, or go over his
mistakes and shortcomings, he should
try to do It when he Is alone with
the child. What the parent says will
be doub'y effective If the child does
not feel that he Is being shamed and
ridiculed and that he must therefore
reject everything his elder has to say
In an effort to rescue his threatened
self-respect.
Sometimes when the child must
be corrected on the spot one may
speak to him In a whispered aside
that does not draw attention to him.
Almost always he appreciates thin
consideration by doing aa he Is told.
Alone with him. If the parent Is
at all tactful and kindly, he may say
almost anything and be sure that
the child will permit himself to be
Influenced by It. Thst this Is much
the best way In which to make what-
ever criticisms are necessary must
be obvious, j
The only reason thst parents ever
do otherwise Is thnt they act thought
lessly or on the Impulse of their own
Irritations,

One man's poison is another
man's meat; the more deadly
the poison, the richer the meat.
There was a brisk rally in
Wall Street prices Friday. Steel
common rose three dollars a
share, Steel preferred nine dol
lars on news that wages of steel
workers had again been re
duced, this time by IS per cent.
When there is less for those
that work, there is more for
those that own stock certifi
cates. However, lower wages
are better than no job, and the
steel company had no choice.
t Stock prices 'rose generally,
and there was what Big Busi
ness calls "a better feeling gen
erally," when news came that
the Ways and Means committee
had voted against the soldiers'
bonus fifteen to ten.
This writer, subject to correction
by the wise, believes that nothing
could bo better for big business and
all business than to pay ths soldiers
their bonus now, since It must be
paid eventually with Interest. The
soldiers would put ths two thousand
million dollsrs In circulation prompt
ly, In every part of the oountry, bills
would bs paid, clothes, automobiles
bought, cheerfulness Increased, while
the government would save eighty
mllUon dollsrs a year In Interest
charges.
The soldiers, and no other agency,
could put the money In circulation
and start a buying wave. The
government, through the reconstruc
tion committee, hands hundreds of
millions to banks snd other corpora
tions. Do they put the money In cir
culation? Do they spend It and help
business? They sit on It, like old
Fafner, on his Rhine gold, hosrdlng
It.
Refusal to pay soldiers, to whom
govsrnment, rightly or wrongly, has
promised the money, will cause much
bitterness and establish a dissatisfac
tion, not easily cleared up.

The loss ot his sons In ths wsr

people of France. They looked upon

of the French race.
Many Americans, hearing that three
bullets, were fired Into ths excellent

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE OF SWEATING.
In the true sense of the word there
Is no such thing sa perspiration thru
the skin. Today we are discussing
sweating.
The popular
fallacies about
sweating- are
mainly the teach
ings of old time
quacks and mod
ern near-doctors
and queer -doctors
who "come
by" the title of
"Doctor" Just as
certain old white
gen'men used to
come by the title
of "Colonel" down south. Some of
them appended letters to their names,
in Imitation of a degree of some eso
terlo variety, but no university or col
lege grants such degrees. Others are
too foxy for that, and content them
selves with the title of "Doctor"
which they Invariably use, never by
any chance letting the public know
what kind of doctor they purport to
be. It Is all right with the wiseacre
laity, which complacently assumes
the governor or the president or the
sheriff or somebody wouldn't let the
faker pose as a doctor if he wasn't
qualified to do so.
The skin Is not an excretory organ.
Old timers detected urlo acid com
pounds In the sweat and Jumped to
the conclusion that sweating was one
way to get rid of uric acid. Uric acid
compounds are normally present in
the sweat, but not enough to deserve
consideration, as we know now from
precise chemical measurements. Nei
ther urlo acid nor other waste or
harmful material Is eliminated of ex
creted In tbe sweat In any appreciable
or significant quantity. For all prac
tical purposes. In health or sickness,
nothing but common salt and water
are present in sweat.
The sole purpose or function of
sweating la the regulation of the body
temperature, by evaporation.
It Is plumb ridiculous to Imagine
that any breathing Is ever done thru
the skin, and that's what I mean
whenI say there Is no such thing as
perspiration. Mythical tales about the
fatal smothering of human beings by
painting their skins with varnish or
other Impervious material are inter
esting but not true. The only object
Ion to the use of cosmetic prepara
tions to suppress sweating, say ,n the
armpits or over the soles of the feet,
Is that many such preparations prove
too Irritating, setting up Itching, In
flammatory rashes, etc. It the prepa
ration does not cause unpleasant ir
ritation it is perfectly safe and hy
gienic to suppress the sweating over
such limited areas or to reduce it to
a minimum.

,. The moat Interesting invention of
our depression is the Goldsborough
bill, sweeping aside old "sound bank
ing ideas," passed by the house by an
overwhelming vote, 389 to 60.
Spoken of In some quarters as
planned to diminish the dollar's pur
chasing power, putting up prices of
products by making dollars more
plentiful.
If the plan back of the bill should
succeed, prices would go back to the
average price level of the years 1021
to 1020. The bill orders the Federal
Reserve to bring this about Eugene
Meyer, Jr., able head of the Federal
Reserve, says he does not like to be
told suddenly, without training, that
he must run 100 yards In 10 seconds
flat. Advocates of. the bill reply
"You do not know how fast you can
run, until the house la on fire."
Europe, frightened by the bill, Is
"running away from the dollar."
which means changing Its American
dollars Into gold and taking the gold
to Europe. The British, who do not
want their pound to rise in price, are
annoyed, because selling the dollar to
buy sterling makes the latter more
valuable.
Finance, a puzzling thing, calls for
another Maimonldes to write another
"guide to the perplexed."
It is certain that the country needs
more money to promote buying and
raise product prices. If twice aa many
dollars would make wheat worth one
dollar, Instead of fifty cents, and a
day's work worth six dollars Instead
of three dollars, or nothing at all
among six million unemployed, then
one kind of common sense seems to
say wa ought to hare twice as many
dollars. It Is easy to print them. !
Wise finance asks "What la the j
use of twice as many dollars, if each
la worth only half as much as the
original dollar? And If, by inflation,
you drive all the gold out of the
country?' ' A counter question is
why do we LET our gold leave the
country, and at present gold seems
more Important than the gas. We
hare more gold than any other na
tion. Why not keep It and tell the
world "You rant say we are off the
fold bsMs, when we have tthe gn.L

Many foods and medicines Impart
odors to the sweat, but the common
cause of odor Is bacterial decomposi
tion of the sweat too long retained on
tha surface or In clothing. This Is
the price we pay for our unhygienic
clothing clothing that prevents ac
cess of air to the skin. The oxygen
In the air is the natural deodorant
and purifier of the body; it Is the na
tural preventive and cure for odorous
sweating. The conspiracy of prudery,
custom and commerce prevents civ
ilized man from enjoying natural
cleanliness. Soap and water bathing
always costs money. Air bathing does
not but it may cost you your liberty
or your reputation.
Perhaps some readers are qualified
to ask how come savage tribes that
know not soap and water bathing
usually have a characteristic body
odor. My retort to that la those same
savages confess that altho the whle
man looks clean enough somehow he
always haa a peculiar body odor, in
the savage nostrils.

Sun Lamp.
Is a sun lamp used enough to pro

Sanitation.
Can a mattress that has been used
by a consumptive be made sanitary
enough for a well person to sleep on?
If so, how? (Mrs. 8. McN.)
Answer If it Is not visibly soiled
It is perfectly sanitary for any one to
slep on, no matter what disease the
former occupant of the bed had. If
it Is visibly soiled, ordinary soap and
water washing of the cover is suf
ficient. But your local sanitary or
