Editorial Correspondence
ROCKFORD, 111., Aug. 30.
After two, million-dollar rains,
the heat has been turned on
again and everything is grow
ing, including the laundry bills.
We would like to have a mo
nopoly on linen suits. In the
finnls of the western amateur
golf tournament here there
was a gallery of about 1200
people. At least 500 men
sported white linen suits. But
there is no monopoly on white
linen suits, none on laundry
work, none on dry cleaning. In
fact judging by prices there is
a laundry and dry cleaning
war. So there are no fortunes
being made from this hot spell,
except, perhaps, by the soft
drink parlors.
As all golf fans know by this
time' Gus Morcland won the
golf title, defeating Ira Couch,
a Chicago broker five and four.
Ira suffered a handicap for he
is fat as a butter ball and wears
glasses. Every few minutes
his caddy had to present Ira
with a towel with which he
swabbed his face and neck, and
then finding a dry corner,
wiped the moisture from his
specs. He had a complete
change of clothing between
rounds but on the final 18 his
green shirt was black with
perspiration when he reached
the 3d hole.
This' match clearly demon
strated the relative unimport
ance of the tee shot in compet
itive play. Couch out-drove
Gus on nearly every tee
sometimes by 30 or 40 yards,
but almost invariably the
young man from Texas was
nearer the pin on his second.
In fact Morcland's short game
waa almost perfect, he was
steady as a truck, and a marvel
in getting out of trouble. His
victory gave him a place on
the Walker cup team, and as
he is only a kid in his early
twenties he promises to be
heard from in golf circles more
and more1.
As has frequently been re
marked during this depression,
whereas there were 5000 bank
failures in this country, there
wore practically none in either
Kngland or Canada.

Turning to evanta of hla hardy

the trip acroaa the plain, with ox
teams, completed In Portland, October
18, 1881.
With a train of weatward bound

No trouble with th Indiana a.

but It waa a clever trick on the part
of two old trappera, which counteract
ed feared acalpings.
Th year 1880, Judg Colvig ex
plained, waa known aa the "cholera
year." People died by hundred, on
the trail acroaa th plain.. Indiana
caught th dlaeaae and likewise died.
Their fear of th dlaeaa waa conse
quently great.
When unfriendly Indians approach
ed th Colvig party In 131. th two
trappera devised a plan to capitalise
upon their cholera fear. They In
structed aeveral wagona to drlv out

Canada have chain banks.
There are only about half a
dozen different banks in each,
but they have branches which
cover the entire country. As a
result each bank, large or small,
is as strong as every other bank.
in the chain. This gives the
banking system a great advant
age, and if we want to do away
with bank failures, we have
only to follow the examples of
England and Canada.
But there is a "catch" in it
of course. Chain banks are not
local in character, the money of
the country rests in a few
hands, and under such a sys
tem the small business man in
a small place, might have more
difficulty securing credit than
under the American system.
In our own opinion however,
this would be a small price to
pay for a safe and sound bank
ing system, instead of one that
brings financial ruin and disas
ter to thousands and thousands
of hard working people, when
ever there is a period of econ
omic stress and strain.

EARLY ESTABLISHMENT
A baby Is a finely adjusted piece of
machinery, not weak, but so perfectly
coordinated that, like a fine watch
It Is easily put
out of order.
The first dose
of caster oil or
other laxative or
physic you give
a baby la a mat
ter of tremend
ous importance
which demands
the beat Judg
ment of a physic
ian. But, shucks,
who would sub
mlt such a ques
tion to the doctor? Babies are not
worth so much consideration. Any
old woman will do to consult about
such a thing. It Is muah the same
as tho you were contemplating trying
your remedy on the dog. A baby
in some households is no better than
a dog when It comes to a question
of plying the young one with medi
cine. The second and third dose of physic
areworse than the first. A fairly
healthy baby might get over the first
dose all right and suffer no lasting
injury. But when you follow up your
attack, blow upon blow, almost any
Infant will succumb and thereafter
the Internal machinery will require
pretty regular castor oiling or elw It
won't work to suit the old women of
the neighborhood at all. And surely
you would not have a baby around
the place that doesn't conform to the
wh Ims of the neighborhood busy
bodies, would you, dumb ones?
The first dose merely disrupts or
temporarily upsets co-ordination. Jars
things, like shifting into reverse gear
while you are still traveling forward.
The second and third doses Increase
the lnco-ordlnatlon and tend to set
up a conditioned reflex, as rihysl
cologlsts call It. That Is the aliment
ary function soon becomes dependent
upon the dose' of physic, Just as an
animal learns after a certain number
of repetitions, to come to feed at the
sound of a bell or your call. Just how
many doses of castor oil or other lax
ative It is necessary to give in order
to establish the physic .habit I need
not estimate. Why establish the
habit?
In Infant or adult there Is never
any serious harm done by absolutely
refraining from the use of any and
all physics, laxatives or artificial aids
to bowel action. In the morbid fancy
of those thoroly misinformed by
quacks and nostrum mongers there
Is grave danger In going without the
customary physio. In actual fact no
New York City alone will have a
grand opera season In America this
year.
There will be none In Chicago,
where Samuel Insult's generosity pro
vided a magnificent opera house.
Thanks to the radio, however, ar
rangements can be made for opera
performances in one city . only, to
supply the whole nation with good
music.
There la no doubt that Paul D.
Cravath, chairman of the Metropoli
tan Opera company, and others asso
ciated with him, will be glad tc- ar
range for complete operatic broad
casting. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Is
known to be much Interested In this
educational public service. There
would be imagined no stranger "dog
In the manger" policy than confining
to one small audience music that
might delight millions outside.
Communications
Expert Opinion Discounted
To the editor:
R. W. R., writing from Rockford,
111., calls attention to advice given
by the expert economists. Dr. Mc
Laren of Williams col lope, and Prof.
J. H. Williams of Harvard, at the
annual meeting of the Institute of
Politics.
These gentlemen favor the re-elec
tion of Hoover and gave "expert
reasons." "Their opinions," says R.
W. R., "are undoubtedly honest opin
ions free from political bias." and
he adds, "should be put in pamph
let form and distributed throughout
the country."
Perhaps so. Especially as regards
the honesty of these "expert" opin
ions, but as to whether they are un
biased, there la a broad foundation
for suspicion. That the mind can
be free of political bias If alive to
politics Is, more and more, consid
ered "Mld-Vlctorlan." Politics hits
too near home.
"Expert opinion' In this domain,
is, to say the least hanardous. The
experts are not agreed even on the
fundamentals of their "miserable"
science thanks to biased opinion.
Not all of them are for H. C. H. and

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
From Teeth to Tonsils to Ears.
Ears have ringing noise. Tonsils
swollen. Inflamed, white spots. Re
cently had three badly infected teeth
removed. Would like to know some
good doctor who uses diathermy
method for tonsils. (Q. A. N.)
Answer Good doctors everywhere
now use the diathermy method, or
refer their patients to one who Is
skilled In the method. Repeat your
request and Inclose stamped envelope
bearing your address, and we will sug
gest a good doctor by private letter.
Walnut for Ringworm
Out a slice of the hull of a green
walnut, tape over the ringworm.
Leave it In place till it dries, then
remove and repeat. Two or three ap
plications usually effect a cure. This
has cured some cases of obstinate
eczema, too. Walnuts are about right
for It now. (Mrs. O. H., Hollywood).
Answer Anyway it can do no
harm. Thank you.
The Finished Symphony
What ever became of the famous
Brady Symphony you used to dis
tribute among your friends? I still
have my copy and I know the whole
symphony by heart, for I have per
formed It dally for some eight years
and It has proved of Inestimable val
ue in keeping me fit. (S. O. M.)
Answer It cost too much to pub
lish and distribute. Thru the gen
erosity of a friend we have on hand
about 3.000 copies of the Third Brady
Symphony (a course of home ex
ercises to keep one fit.) Ask for the
Third Brady Symphony, inclose a
stamped envelope bearing your ad
dress, and do NOT try to make a clip
ping serve as a request.

Harvard said a few weeks before the
'20 crash that "We have entered an
era of permanently high prices," big
business was elated.
Until economists are agreed on
fundamentals, what they say should
receive respectful consideration and
little more. When that time cornea
their opinions will not be aeeded.
Politics then will be no more. Per
haps society will be a thing of the
past also, but assuming that It
overcomes Its feltera to production
and survives, the conflict between
the individual and the mass will
have been settled, which, in the
last analysis is the basis of all the
fuss.

of the people are children-dependent
upon the per capita paymenta for
food, clothing and education many
are old. Infirm people entirely de
pendent upon the per capita pay
ment for the casual necessities of
life. The Industrial condition, for
which the Bureau la largely respon
sible, has created thla altuation.
Surety the humane relation of the
Government of the United States to
the Indians, together with the econ
omic and industrial conditions ob
taining will be considered during
these grave times.
We respectfully request that the
opinion of Mr. Levi Walker, pur
porting to be the opinion of the
Klamath Indians, be not considered.
Admittedly, In the Rouse Hearings.
1033, he la not familiar with the con
dltlona on our reservation.
We beg of you to give ttla matter
your most earnest and careful con
sideration and to lend your aupport
to a reduction In the appropriation
for Klamath equal in amount to the
grave altuation there obtaining. The
trust funds of the Klamath Indians
In the Treasury of the United States
are liquidated capital assets and not
Income; and an appropriation of
$167,000 from a capital of (398,087
part of which Is to be expended for
salarlea and wages ot scalers and
rangers In a forest where no lumber
activities are being conducted la the
height of Injustice and extravagance."
When an appropriation la made by
Congress for the Klamath Indians,
that amount la taken from the tribal
funds. Klamath pays for what ahe
gete. The amount left Is what they
have to live upon. In 1933 that
amount will be (so apiece while the
appropriation goes to maintain clerks,
rangers, scalers, forestry employees In
Idleness on a salary that allows them
to look down upon the Indian. The
parasite despises Its host.
I have purposely dwelt on Klamath.
Because the Klamath Indians have
had a few dollars the graft has smell
ed to heaven and we have the hear
ings of the Senate sub-committee as
a record of this graft. The same
conditions exist at Warm Springs.
Robert Smith, a Warm Springe In
dian, told the Senate committee:
"There were 52 Indiana turned Into
citizenship as tax payers. But I
tell you gentlemen, these clothes you
see are all that I have. I have no
clothea and I am not fit for a citi
zen. On the other hand. I was read
ing In the papers at one time that
the government said whenever any
half-breed or Indian got turned into
citizenship he got his full right to
the reservation. Then I leave It to
you. I thought I would tell you Vila
so that you would have It on your
handa. Our Indians at Warm Springs
are good workers and are willing to
work and help themselves.
