No Time to Handicap Business
TTHE ruling of the state highway commission regarding
timber trucking on the state highways should be modi
fied. This is no time to increase our unemployment by forc
ing small sawmills to shut down, or forcing larger saw mills
to lay off men. Under present conditions, the policy of the
state highway commission and every other regulatory body,
should be to help, not hinder business in every possible way.
The careful regulation of. trucking is necessary and desire
able. But we don't believe the prohibition of trucking on any
of the state highways is either. Far better we believe, to allow
trucking on all of them, under such careful regulation, that
injury to the highways would be impossible.
This plan would involve more careful policing than now
obtains but the money thus spent we feel, would be money
well invested, both from the standpoint of highway protection,
and the standpoint of the lumber industry, as an important
factoh in the economic rehabilitation of Southern Oregon.
Then and Now
pOB some unknown reason President Garfield, has never
registered on the mental screen of the skipper of this
column. He has always seemed the equivalent of complete
zero, in the passing pageant of "White House occupants.
But recently in looking over the history of the post-bellum
period we came across a passage from one of President Gar
field's writings which gave us an immediate interest in the
man and his times.
Ia this trying period of political dissension and economic dls-
tress, the nation needs as never he tore men of calm vision, sound
Judgment, and the ability to rise above the petty personal and
partisan antagonisms which surround us. I have asked no special
favors, no special consideration, I have merely asked that I be
allowed, to conduct the affairs of my Important office, in my own
way, according to the dictates of my own conscience, In harmony
with my own views of what this nation heeds, and not be thwarted
In that purpose by the machinations of selfish and designing poll

Such a message might have been delivered by Pres-
iident Hoover at the present

As an aftermath of this bitterness and dissension however!
President Garfield, only four months after his inauguration,
was shot down by Guiteau whose unbalanced mind inflamed
by the noise and fury, whicch he did not understand, sincerely
believed that with Garfield gone, tha country would be saved
and those who should succeed to power would defend and
reward him.
That historic incident only shows the real dangers that
lurk in carrying political acrimony and dissension too far,
particularly during a period of general unrest and dissatisfaction,

WASHINGTON! SYMBOL OF !
PATRIOTISM
By H. W. CHASE
President, University of Illinois
Washington haa come to stand tor
ua primarily as a symbol of patriot
ism. What doea It mean to be a pa
triot In the year nineteen hundred
thirty-two? It certainly does not
mean to do and to think In detail
what Washington aid and thought.
One expression of his patriotism was
a war with England. To ua of today
such a conflict would be one of the
most fearful calamities that could
befall civilised mankind. Another
expression of hla patriotism waa that
he led a revolution to overthrow the
organiaed government under which
he had grown up and which he had
served. But la there any thoughtful
American cltlren today who feela that
a man who advocates the overthrow
of our own form of government la
a patriot Rather do we record him
aa far from patriotism aa one pole
la from the other. ' Washington's pa

cautioned hla countrymen against
European entanglements. That oft
quoted warning was not given to' a
aoth-century audience. Our attitude
toward Europe ou1t to be deter
mined by the problems of our genera
tion, as, of courae. It fundamentally
la. If there la aomethlng of disil
lusionment and withdrawal about
our attitude toward Europe today. It
Is, and ought to be, because of the
experlencea of our own generation.
Washington's patriotism found ex
pression In the government of a re
public which waa frankly aristocratic.
We sometimes forget the profound
change which haa taken plaoe In the
character of our Inatttutlona alnce
the day of Washington. The rule In
which he and those about blm be
lieved waa popular only In a restricted
sense, with limited suffrage, and with
the clear enough understanding of
the land owner, the merchant, the
banker and the professional man. They
believed In anrlstorratlo republic. It
waa not until that great popular up
rising that wated Andrew Jackson
la the presidency that our elevation
toward a democratic republic really
got under way. Our patriotism must
work with different elements from
Washington's. He knew nothing of
melting poU, was familiar with only
one aspect of the race problem, had
never heard of an Industrial slum
and had only the vaguest notions of
a real system of public education,
had never heard of organized crime
gangs and would have been utterly
shocked at universal suffrage.
To be partlotlc It Is not necessary
that we shouM do and believe In
detail what Washington did and be
lieved a century and a half ago. The
challenge that comes to us Is rather
that we should cherish, that we
should work for, OUR America as he
cherished his. Here Is our country;
here are Its problems. Zt Is for us to
work with these problems In the
spirit In wtch he worked with his
In a spirit of loyalty to the institu
tions we have evolved through the
eplo of our history, in a spirit of in
telligent good will toward what lies

thing, the right thing, the fair thing,

cause that Is bigger than any
Individual, In a spirit of loyalty to
the Ideal America that Is a vision

challenge to our generation, as it Is
that of generations past and to come.

President Hoover yesterday
proposed cutting world arma

in the White House with Sec
retary of State Stimson beside
him. i
That plan would save about
fifteen billion dollars during
the next ten years. But it
can't be done. France immed
iately says NO. She has what
3he wants and knows that the
way to keep what she has is to
be prepared to defend it.
Senator Borah, het.d of foreign af
fairs, approves the President's pro
posal. Prime Minister Herrlot of
France says It Is "entirely unaccept

demands that the use of submarines
be abolished. England owns a great

Our foreign friends will probably
force upon us the wise course which

cost nearly as much ss we spend on
Insdequate protection now.
Former Governor Smith, asked
whether he would bolt the Demo

There la no doubt that Governor
Smith la a candidate on his own ac

THE RIDDLE OF
A bright Massschuaetts achoolboy
had read for a whole year my tire
some reiterations of the essential
facts about the
crl. At last the
boy, with ad
mirable spirit,
wrote to point
out the flaw In
my teaching:
"You set forth
the opinion In
no unc e r t a 1 n
terms that com
mon respirator)'
1 n f e ctlons are
spread only In
the Mxuretlona.from nose or throat
which are carried for varying dla
tancea in the apray given off when
the person having the disease
coughs, aneezea, talks or laughs
; . . In other words, one person
has to get It from another who
already has It ... I want to ask
who was the first person to start
It sway back In the beginning, and
where did he or she get the germs?"
That Is a retort that has been
less effectively made by a great
many latter-day charlatans and
their wiseacre dupes. If disease
germs are the cause of a disease
where did the first germs . come
from?
I am well aware that the Inability
of a physician or anybody else to
answer this question Is Impressive
to the dull wit of the chlld-mlnded,
and It la from the large chlld
mlnded (moronic) population that
latter-day charlatans draw the bulk
of their patronage.
It would be aa logical to ask
where the first cooties came from,
the first Itch mites, the first bed
bugs, the first mice, the first goph
ers, the first skunks, the first tape
worma, the first mosquitoa and the
first freak healers. It does not
seem to me that we are Justified
In doubting that these creatures
are sometimes Injurious to man Just
because we are Incapable of under
standing their origin. That sort of
reasoning may suffice for the 80 or
40 million chlld-mlnded Individuals
In our population, but It will not
long satisfy the minds of the other
90 millions.
Once when I advised a hot mus
tard foot . bath administered to the
patient in bed, aa a good emergency
household remedy for acute ear
ache, (which I still believe la Bound
advice), a heckler begged to Inquire
whether a hot mustard ear bath
would not be good treatment for hla
toe ache. I told h!m that Judging
from appearancea I thought It
would be exceedingly effective pro
vided he could find a receptacle
large enough to Immerse his ears
In. . But that sort of argument la
should have had the decision. Ex
perts confirm that. Neither man
won really, for neither waa strong
enough to injure seriously anyone
but a woman or child. The late John
L. Sullivan, before he decided to beat
the champion of champions, ALCO
HOL, would have disposed of Sharkey
and Schmellng m the same evening,
with a maximum of two or three
rounds apiece. Bob Fttzsimmorus, a
professional fighter, not a profes
sional talker, would have taught
these gentlemen a great deal about
fistic astronomy, and would have
beaten either of them easily. V
But a population In which bru
tality survives, Into adult life, must
be content with an imitation cham
pionship, since there are no cham
pions available.

The Catholic church Is an ancient
institution that endures, patient, far
seeing. Early in this century, the
German chancellor, Von Bulow, was
told by the Italian prime minister,
Olollttl, that the visit of the French
prime minister to Rome and the Ital
lan king, "completely ignoring the
Vatican," settled for alt time any
possibility of the pope's regaining
temporal power, or any rulership in
a temporal domain.
But that temporal power la regain

Governor Roosevelt of New York
Is Investigating an interesting trip
made by the notorious New York
gangster, "Vannle" Higglns, and three
of his associates to the Great Meadow
state prison just before Higglns was
killed by other gangsters.
Higglns went to the prison by air
plane, waa welcomed by a prison
guard, who spread out a sheet to
show the pilot where to land, and
the gangster spent the night tn the
warden's house as his guest. Gov
ernor Roosevelt will want to know a
great deal about that interesting re
ception. One cheerful note tn the day's
news. More gold haa been found in
the Alaska Nuka district. 70 miles
west of Seward, and an old-fashionM

THE BEGINNING
not profitable to either aide. This
chap happened to be a man of
wide Influence and he used InflU'
encev In such a way as to hamper
the spread of my teachings.
Holding forth on Itching, a char
latan who constantly ridicules the
"germ theory" said the purpose of
Itching la to bring more blood to
the aurface to heal or remedy what
ever trouble may excite the Itching.
(He didn't mention Ivy polaonlng
aa an example, or even erythema,
conditions where you and I might
imagine there la already plenty of
blood at the surface). But he did
caution against scratching to re
lieve the Itching, for he said that
may excoriate the akin and so In
vite Infection. If we were to pin
thla chap down and aak what he
meana by Infection, he would prob
ably lose us in a maze of vague
generalizations about retained
wastes, impurities, toxins and so
on, which attract the germs Just as
carrion attracts flies.
It Is not the beginning of germ
life that should concern us but
rather the end of It.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Beg Pardon, My Mistake
You aald In an answer that If
anything Is to be used for bathing
the eyes or aa an eye wash It had
better.be normal aalt aolutlon. Where
can we get that? (D. F. J.)
Answer I should have explained
that "normal salt solution" means
boiled water to which common salt
la added In about the salt strength
of the tears, aay a level tablespoon
ful of table salt In each pint of
freahly boiled water.
Exercise for Cure of Rupture
Kindly advise what exercise you
prescribe for the cure of rupture
(W. F.)
Answer In some cases of threat
ened or small hernia In tho early
stage simple leg raising exercise, and
the squatting exercise, taken wltn
the hernia area supported with the
fingers of your hand, wiU so develop
weak muscles as to prevent further
protrusion. ,
Development of a Boy
Our 5 year old son la 13 Inches
tall and weigha 39 pounds. He
plays outdoora from 9 to 6 dally
and has good color. But his poa.
ture la poor. Do you think cer
tain corrective exercises would make
him stand up straight? (F. H.)
Answer Unless he haa spinal cur
vature or pronated feet, which con
dltlona require apeclal medical care,
probably the best exercises to de
velop good posture are awlmmlng,
bicycle riding, swinging on bar or
trapeze, and digging. . playing In
sand or taking care of a little gar
den. ... . .
Discvovery of gold In California In

It needs, after a debauch of war and

To the Editor:
I am giving below copy of a state
ment made by the Hon. William N.
Doas, secretary of labor, U. S. de
partment of labor. It seems to me
that it Is worth publication for
benefit of the boys and girls of our
county, and I trust you will find
place for it in your columns:
"As the school year closes, teachers
and parents should make everc ef
fort to keep their boys and girls of
working age at home, unless they
have funds for travel or definite
assurance of employment elsewhere.
To . wander from city to city and
from state to state in search of
work leads to nothing but physical
suffering, discouragement and de
morallzatlon. Parents, schools, and
communities should co-operate in
providing training and interests for
their own boya and girls that will
keep them from idleness at home
and from swelling the ranks of the
homeless and transient.
"I am strongly of the opinion
that careful consideration should be
given to urging the young people
to stay at home during the vacation
period, rather than to wander about
without funds In search of work. It
also eeems clear that the problem
of extending school terms will have
to receive serious public considera
tion at a not far distant period. In
other wdtids, with increased me
chanization of industry and de
creasing opportunities for employ
