I Everybody la poor, or pretending to be poor and about two Jumps ahead i of eternal disaster. Thla la what keeps the Hard Times ticking, and body be rich, or pretend to be rich, aa it u no more trouble, and a lot more cheering than continually plead-1 a cure It la suggested tnat every- tag poverty. The poorest man mov June 20, according to hla own aad atory, happena to be the richest man, or nearly so. In many a mile. The poor, who have alwaya been with us. are now outnumbered by the pre tender of poverty. . The hard luck atory is rjult pre valent, and la not helping the situa tion any. The teller of the hard luck atory Is legion, and he Invar iably adds to the general woe. by whittling down hla voice to a pathe tlo whine, and lengthening out his face, to get the proper dramatlo ef fect. The saddest recital waa by a man who was unable to catch any fish until an B7 fishing reel arrived from London, Eng., which ought to . be here before now, as It was ordered In plenty of time. We have heard nobody admit, when looking for pan cake or sympathy I have nobody to blame but my- j self.

Just at present the main thorna in the flesh are the lack of work, and the lack of money, and the latter jabs in the deepest. History does not record a period when everybody was working, or there waa no lack of money. There has never been a time In this fslr valley, when everybody waa working, even If they could, and everybody alwaya had room for more money at the top. Just at present, the despondency la Increased by the approach of auto license buying time, which alwaya caused aharp pains In the sbdomlnal region of the pocketbook. With some, of course. It la a case of gaa or beans, and It la no fun motoring if the atomach la empty. The rascals who Insist that the auto license be pur chased will get theirs the next time they come up for election, ... There la no telling how long th present melancholy will continue, but th fashion notea aay nothing about midnight black being the popular color for fall wear. The situation Is worse than If th streets were thronged with forlorn souls in the throes of a crying Jag. There la nothing so distressing aa an emotion al fellow with a crying Jag. According to the Democrats, there will be no Prosperity until Beer re turns. The Republicans argue that It Is more Important that the masses get hold of a shovel, Instead of a stein, and a handful of pretaels. It la doubtful If beer would abolish poverty, any mor than th Hoover threat to do that very thing. In 1928. Instead of putting a chicken In every pot, the Idea la now to sooth all woe with a keg on every back porch. Also th Democrata promise to make everybody happy. Heretofore this ha been attained by Individual ef fort, but now the new congressman will provide It. ... Ther an eeveral things needed wore thsn beer. For Instance, ralth, Hope, confidence, Oumptlon, and Cheerfulness. All these trait hive been hit by hall, frost, and blight. . 9 In aummatlon, a th best lawyers aay, it la ordered that all forget the Depression.

The announced de cision to attempt the repeal of the two-thirds convention rule, is a confession of weakness and desperation. Were the Roosevelt forces not convinced that victory under the established system, is IMPOSSIBLE, they would not try to overthrow a procedure so deeply imbedded in party tradition and sentiment. TRUE the Roosevelt forces have the votes to repeal this rule, for only a majority is needed. But Democrats are funny that way. They take their party traditions seriously. And by and large they are incorrigibly sentimental. Even with a majority pledged, it would surprise no one familiar with Democratic psychology, to find these pledges break completely under the stress of a sufficiently eloquent appeal. e DEMOCRATIC conventions are like that. The stampede to the unknown William Jennings Bryan, after his cross-of-gold Bpeech, provides the classic example. The way the delegates in San Francisco over a decade ago shook the rafters with their cheers for Bryan, and then voted against everything he pro. posed, was only another demonstration of the party's emotional instability. One can always tell in advance what Republican conventions will do. One can never tell in advance what Democratic con ventions will do. The Republicans are always matter of fact and conduct their conventions, like so many directors of the U. S. Steel corporation. The Democrats are always romantic, and conduct their conventions, like their spiritual forefathers conducted a Kilkenny Fair. A S we see it, Governor Roosevelt at the present writing has ONLY ONE CHANCE IN tion. That chance rests solely position so effectively that the somewhere in the emotional shuffle. Perhaps somewhere among William Jennings Bryan who isn't, then "Cousin Franklin" Why 'Not i IT IS amazing how the blind spot in eastern magazines persists, J 1 h th Paeifio Northwest, and particularly Crater Lake, ' are uuncerueu. A summer never passes that out at least ONE eastern magazine that has never discovered Crater Lake, or having discovered it, doesn't hand it over to the state of California. Now comes the July issue of the Ladies' Home Journal with an article entitled "Pack up your family and go," illustrated by a tourist map of the country. If the article has any value, it is as a comprehensive summer vacation GUIDE. Yet neither on the map nor in the text can one find Crater Lake a national park if you please. Nor is there any sign of Mt. Hood, the Columbia River highway, Mt. McLaughlin or the Oregon trail. Wyoming and Arizona rodeos are mentioned, but no word of the Pendleton Round-Up the PAPA OF THEM ALL. In fact Oregon is entirely ignored, the only other state in the union similarly treated, is Idaho. the Medford clminber of i protest to the editor of the Journal. No doubt other pro j tests will follow. But we doubt if these protests will do any good. For some unknown reason there seems to be no way of registering Oregon upon the editorial mind cast of the Rocky mountains.

Yesterday without even a record vote it passed a bill provid ing a $2,300,000,000 relief program. The country DOES need relief. But it doesn't need pork barrel graft, it doesn't need waste, it doesn't need the dole. The first thing to do is get idle men to work. Second, is to get them to work upon projects that have some use, and real social and economic benofit. Some provisions of this bill are good, but more are bad, and some are positively rotten. No doubt members of the senate knew this. But they wanted to get credit for passing such a measure, and then pass the buck to the Presidont, who unless the measure is radi- olaly changed, will HAVE TO VETO IT. e e e TpiIIS venal and spineless procedure lias been going 'on long enough. We are sick of having congress pass everything that any political minority demands, and force the President to do what any self respecting legislative body should do as a matter of patriotism and duty for THEMSELVES. We believe the people are sick of it, too. Far better have no congress at all, at this critical time, than one that does nothing but play cheap politics, and put the entire burden of good government upon the shoulders of ONE overworked man. the President of the United States.

Witch ladies put many queer things in the cauldron for their terrible broth, "Eye of Newt, and toe of frog, ' . "Wool of bat, and tongue of dog." Also, you remember, the baby's finger, fillet of a fenny snake, adder's fork, and blind worm's sting. All that is nothing to the "stop Roosevelt" broth now being concocted in Chicago. Every baleful ingredient is mixed in that Btrange soup. If the New York governor escapes the dish prepared by the "stop Roosevelt" crowd, he will prove himself an able politician. a Which of the following happenings would be called "news?"

A normal, healthy young animal naturally dealrea physical activity, play, romp, run about, fight. A senile animal natural ly dealrea rest. snoozing, day dreaming, Just sitting around, vegetating. Certain drugs have narcotic or sedative .or de pressing action on the nerve centers Tobacco ta such a drug. That's what It meana when a confirmed smoker says a smoke soothes his nerves or qultes nervous tension. It dulls hla natural desire for physical activity, and enables him to take It sitting or lying down when he should be run ning away or fighting. It makes the young animal for the time being an old one. Athletic coaches Invariably forbid even occasional use of tobacco by the young aspirants under training. Even the untutored youths who go In for professional boxing know from exl perlence that amoklng lessens a box er's chance to win hla bout. Dimin ishes hla resiliency, shortens his wind, lowers his endurance. A great many youngsters whose home training has been neglected (and I'll explain Just what this means presently) begin smoking mainly for the sake of nonchalance or finding something to dc with the hands to cover consciousness of Inferiority. There are laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco to children, but something more Impressive than & law la re quired. Every parent ahould exact a pledge from his child at an early age, say 12 years, against the use of to bacco before the age of 25 yeara not 21 years, for the majority of children do not attain full development of adulthood until they reach 24 or 25 years of age. Exercise, play or work Is the health ful eubstltnte for tobacco In youth. Activity, not dignified quiet and re pose, is the natural state and Index of youtlw Habit Is a characteristic of old age. The aenlle are creatures of habit. Every amoker, young or old, should mysterious Herraplane" haa to do with the launching of a new auto mobile.

But there Is always room at th top, and opportunity. for there la no crowd there to Im pede 'your movement. Last night In Dublin's- Phoenix park, well known as the scene of a great political tragedy, a scene very different wsa arranged. Two hun dred and fifty thousand men. In military formation, aang before a high altar, In the presence of Cardi nal Laurl, Papal legate who pre sided at the great outdoor demon atratlon. A special choir of men led the singing of the great army ol 250.000. Microphones and amplifiers added to the volume of sound. Once, goea the atory, It waa aug- gested that all the earth's Inhabi tant unite In a great shout, at the same moment, that men on the moon, If any, migh hear It. When the mo ment came, all but one man kept perfectly silent, waiting to hear the great nolsa. The one man that shouted wsa atone deaf. We who worry about email things ought to remember our blessings. Including the usual quietness ol the world's big oceans. Mexicans are reminded of It by an earthquake 400 mllea out In the Pacific, west of Cuyutlan. The floor qf the ocean, rising, sent a great tidal wave In land, killing 34 In Cuyutlan, carry ing many out to sea. We ahould be grateful that oceans and lakes behave so well, making tidal waves so rare.

TREE TEA HtRhesl Quatit.Lcv ci Price ESTBOYS YOUTH uk himself or herself regularly whether he haa the habU or the habit haa him. The only wa. to find out which It Is, Z think, la to refrain from smoking for 24 hours now and then. The smoker will find a lot of satis faction In one smokeless day or week or even a smokeless day or month, tt Is assuranoe that old age has not yet crept upon him. Employers, commanding officers, teachers, executives have a substan tial reason for enforcing no smoking rules while those under their direc tion are at work or play. Tobacco In variably slows down both physical and mental activity. Not even the most skillful machine tender or cabi net maker can do his best work while smoking. Not even the fastest runnw or the most accomplished pianist can give hla best performance while smoking. It la a bad day for youth when it first surrenders to tobacco. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS What, Actually Tongue-Tied? About a week after my 6 months old baby was born my mother said he was tongue-tied. I did not worry much, as I thought the Doctor would have told me and I fixed It when the baby was a wee baby. But recently the doctor told me It was true but would probably correct Itself as he grew . . . (Mrs. M. A. J.) Answer In a fairly large experience both In private practice and In ma ternity hospitals I have never sn an actual Instance of tongue-tie. Per haps that la because I never hit It off very well with the fishwives, old gran nies and the like. Anyway, if the baby nurses or takes his food all right you need not worry about the imaginary tongue-tie. The Haw Haw Corner Local news item from Hlckville on Hudson: "Inspector , one of the most popular ... Is a patient at the hospital where physicians are striving to ward off an attack of pneumonia. The Inspector caught cold last Friday and was removed to the hospital on Sunday," Answer- You can see pictures of people catching cold In any almanac or announce met of the cold cure peo ple, but here la a rare one of physi cians striving to ward off pneumonia. Superstition Still Rampant After my sister's baby was born the doctor snipped a web under the baby's tongue and said that would prevent lisping. Now my 4 year old boy does not lisp, but sometimes he does not enunciate clearly and my sister's husband's people say I ought to have the web under hla tongue cut . ,-. (O. M. A.) Answer Sheer superstition. Even if there Is a web that Is not there In all babies It has nothing whatever to do with lisping, or with any 6ther speech defect. (Copyright John P. Dille Co.)

In years of general pros, perlty, when prices of the things that gold will buy are high, gold mining doesn't psy, because It costs too much. But In yeara of depression, when prices of the things that gold will buy are low, gold mining DOES pay, because the gold that la found In such times will buy a lot of other things. n QUPPOSE you were a prospector back In 1928 or 1829. The food you ate and the clothea you wore cost a lot of money. Besides, you could get a Job almost anywhere at wages that would amount to a great deal more over the year, In aU prob. ability, than the gold you couM expect to find. But now It I different. Your food and your clothea cost much less, and Jobs at good wagea are scarce and hard to find. And the gold you may take from the hill, will buy an unusually large quantity of th thing you want after yom get It. - So prospecting again look Ilk a good venture to you. That I why there are so many prospectors la the hills. IN THE past, huge sum In gold have been taken from the hill and the gulches of Southern Oregon. Waa ALL the gold found In thos days? You can answer that question, of course, as weU aa anybody else, foe no one knows with any certainty.
