Comment on the Day's News HAVE you aeen one of these "walkathons" that appear to be the latest craze In the way of endur ance contests? If not, you should. It will give you some new Ideas aa to what people will do for a little publicity, plua the CHANCE to win a cash prl.w. It will also shed some new light lor you on what people will pay money to see. THE "walkathon," aa the name In dicates, la an offshoot of the dance marathons that were popular a few years ago. It la related, In prin ciple, to flagpole sitting contests, and such. The Idea, apparently, la to see how much human beings can endure without collapsing, or going crazy crazier, that Is, than they were when they started. This writer saw one the other night, paying 40 cents for the privilege and Is still wondering why. THIS particular affair was In Its 314th Sour that Is, the contes tants had been walking for 314 hours, with only such rest and sleep aa la provided by the rules. They walk for 45 minutes. Then they sleep for ELEVEN minutes. Then they are routed out by the attendant and come out and sit around In sight of the cash customers for four min utes. That makes up an hour. When one .hour ends, they turn In and do It all over again. They had been doing thla for 314 hours, and expected to go on for something like a thousand hours. H THEY walk In couples, a man and a woman together or rather a boy and a girl, for without excep tion they were young. Nineteen couples started In, but by the 314th hour the number had been reduced to eleven. For the most part, they Just WALK, although occasionally the big boss who runs the show orders a minute of dancing; to "pep them up," he says. They walk in a ralled-ln enclosure some IS or 20 feet wide by 30 or 40 feet long. The crowd sits around this enclosure on bleachers, eating pea nut, drinking pop, smoking vast quantltlea of cigarettes and making wise cracks, ONE man, obviously enough, haa been having his troubles. One knee Is stiff, and he drags It aa tie goes. The other wobbles visibly. He uses a cane. The crowd, evidently, admires his grit. At least, he geta the bulk of the applause. -t THE chlpperest-looklng male of the lot welgha some 340 pounds, and be comes out from his 11-mlnute rest periods rarln' to go, fairly champing the bit. Don't under-estlmate these fat men. 1 His partner, a mere slip of a girl, la sound asleep on her feet, clinging to ,his arm, her movements wholly mechanical. Another girl wears high-heeled shoes, both of which slip up and down as she walks. The blisters un der those shoes must be fearful and wonderful to contemplate. TWERE Is a platform at the end of the hall, equipped with loud . speakers and radio connectlona. Prom time to time, one or another of the contestants Is called to this platform to sing. Note: At least, they walk much better than they sing. jnuN? Well, It aeema to be fun for the crowd. Judging by the laugh ing and kidding that go on. Aa for the contestants themselves, the glam or has gone out of It. Their expres sion Is world-weary. One gathera that they would give a farm. If possessed of one. for the privilege of sleeping about a week. NOW cornea the real nub of the story. Thla drab apectacle la knocking 'em dead from the box of fice standpoint, drawing capacity crowds every evening. A mile away, the theatres, putting on really good shows, are crying for business, and crying alone and unheeded, with only a handful of customers to assuage their woe. w HY do people do It, and pay money for the chance?

One of the most persistent rumors of the week, was that John Denni son of this city would make an In dependent race Tor sheriff. Dennlson was prominently mentioned before the primary campaign, as a candidate but refused, and friends say he has not changed his mind. Lowell Zundel, who stated ten days ago that he had sufficient signatures to his petitions as an Independent sheriff candidate, aa yet has not filed. There has been considerable whis pering up the political alleys the past week, but aa yet nothing has coma A them. An Interesting political reaction to the Judge Norton recall plot, came to ngnt last week when Arthur E. Pow ell, editor of the Central Point Amer ican, announced his withdrawal of support to the county Judge candl dacy of Earl H. Fehl, Republican pri mary nominee as follows: "This week he heard a man, who had been a strong follower of Earl H. Fehl and L. A. Banks, make the remark that "Fehl and Banks have sure queered them selves now. If Fehl haa no more sense than to take the attitude he has regarding the recall of Judge Norton, he haa no place on the county court." We think this man Is right. We can aee nothing to this recall matter but disgrunt led litigants' attempted revenge for fancied wrongs. We had hop ed Mr. Fehl would be above such things. And so long aa he persists In his attitude and Insists on fol lowing Banks' lead, we shall be compelled by honesty to with draw from his support for Coun ty Judge.

BROWN (Associated Press Staff Writer) SEA OR IT,, N. J., Aug. 27. (AP) Declaring that the Democratic plat form and, the candidates have "fairly and squarely met" the prohibition is sue, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic presidential nominee, asserted here today that President Hoover and the Republican leader ship "stand convicted of trying to evade and confuse the iaaue. "The methods adopted aince the great war with the purpose of achiev ing a greater temperance by prohibi tion have been accompanied, he said. "In most part of the country by complete and tragic failure." Second speech Mr. Roosevelt was the guest of a Democratic rally arranged by Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City and other state leaders. The nominee's speech here was the second in his road cam paign. The ft rst was at Columbus, Ohio, last Saturday. With him today were Mrs. Roosevelt, and their two younger sons, Franklin, Jr., and John, both school boys. Referring to the acceptance speech es of President Hoover and Vice Pres ident Curtis, relative to prohibition, Mr. Roosevelt alluded to the 1930 gubernatorial election In New York state. He was re-elected to a second term that year. Astride Two Horses In that year, he declared, "there was a party that tried to ride two horses at the same time. The Republi can party had one foot lta candi date for governor on the wet horse and the other foot the candidate for lieutenant governor on the dry horse. Unfortunately the horses In sisted upon going In different direc tions and the party fell to the ground between them.' This year, he added, "the Republi can national leaders have tried the same circus stunt. The answer of the voters throughout the nation will be precisely the same." Soyi Issue Evaded The present Republican leadership, Roosevelt asserted, "stands convicted of trying to evade and confuse the Issue. The honest dry will honor more the honest wet than the shifty dry, and the antl-prohlbltlonlat prefers the four-aquare dry to the uncertain wet," he said. "All will Join in con demlng a fearful and timid practice of evasion," The Democratic presidential asplr ane declared Mr. Hoover's acceptance -; eech "proceeds deliberately to mis represent the position of the Demo cratic party. He says 'our opponents pledge the members of their party to destroy every vestige of constltu tional and effective federal control of the (liquor) traffic.' "I have the right to assume that the president read the Democratic platform and on that assumption I charge that this statement waa made to mislead the people of the country and I asaert a mere reading of the plain, unequivocal provisions of the Democratic platform will sustain that charge." 4 RIDE TO ROUNDUP PENDLETON.

It la algned by Attorney Wllklns only. The stipulation provldea that the trial of Bates. Indicted by the lsst grand Jury, on a charge of "threat ening to commit a felony" be post poned until the October term of court, which starts the fourth Mon day In October, and further provides "tnat lr during the said October term of court, and not later than February, 1933, the defendant F. A. Batea and his family shall remove their residence from the Foots Creek district of Jackson county, that this case. shall be dismissed with the ap. proval of the court." The atlpulatlon sots forth that Bates has made arrangements for the sale of his property, and Is prepar ing to move to Linn county, Oregon, and that the stipulation Is the result of an agreement between all parties concerned. Dlctrlct Attorney Codding said last night that no decision had been reached relative to agreeing to the plan, and that none would be until all .legal angles had been atudlod. The official expressed doubt that the case could be dismissed, but said he had no objection to a continuance of the case to the October term of the court. The district attorney said that the wording of the stipulation did not meet with his approval, Insofar as It concerned the dismissal of the In dictment, but was ready, . If the law provided, to make reasonable con cessions. Bates was scheduled to coma to trial at the term beginning Septem ber 19, . The "threatening to com mit a felony" Indictment grew out of the controversy between Bates and Foots Creek residents. Last spring Justice of the Peace H. D.

WILL- ROGERS says: BISHOP, Cal., Aug. 26. Ten yours ago this was a wonderful valley with one quarter of a million acres of fruit and al falfa. But Los Angeles had to have more water for the cham ber of commerce to drink mora toasts to its growth, more water to dilute its orange juice, to water its geraniums for t!i tourists while the giant cotton woods here died. So now this is a valley of desolation. But wherever you find star vation and oppressed people, you find Democrats always bucking the giant octopus. Last night the local Democrats held a rally. Everybody in town, including the lone Republican fwho of course is postmaster), attended. Ho agreed to chang his politics in return for his present office. It was unanim ously passed. All adjourned. The politics is settled here for the next fouf years.
