i"Po"l"a
Intolerance and Partisanship
WELL this geems like old times. That battle-scarred demo
cratic war-horse E. E. Kelly on the firing line, heaving
briok-bats at the Mail Tribuneand Te Editor firing back.
Judge Kelly, whose communication is printed in another
column, accuses the Mail Tribune of "intolerance," in condemn
ing Senators Norris and Johnson for deserting their party, and
taking the stump (at least the former) for the democratic ticket,
at this time. '
THHE Mail Tribune has been accused of many things but we
believe this is the first time it has ever been acoused either
of intolerance or blind partisanship.
The Mail Tribune has fought intolerance erer since it was
founded. It was the only paper in Southern Oregon to openly
fight the Ku Klux Klan and it won that fight at considerable
financial cost. ' It was the only paper in Southern Oregon
SUPPORTING PRESIDENT HOOVER FOUR TEARS AGO,
that openly condemned Republican efforts to gain votes by
capitalizing .prejudice against Al
As far as blind partisanship is concerned, the Mail Tribune
while independent Republican, has frequently supported Demo
crat for publio office, and opposed Republican candidates; it
did so in the last state campaign, the last presidential campaign,
it will, do so again this year. "When the local G. 0. P. slogan
was "Vote the ticket straight" the Mail Tribune took up the
cudgels against that plea, offended some of its closest political
friends, and urged its readers
the sake of good government
THEIR INDEPENDENCE.
QO much for the record. So much for intolerance and partisan-
ship. Now regarding Senators Norris and Johnson. Our
correspondent 8Bks the following question : .
"If my memory serves me right In 1913, you bolted
the late William Howard Toft, and the Republican party
for Roceevelt, and Johnson, whloh resulted In the over
whelming defeat of Mr. Taft. Will you distinguish be
tween your bolt In 1013, and the bolt of the progressive
' Republicans In 1033?"
Gladly! '
It was our belief then that very important moral and politi
cal principles were involved. The late T. R. represented those
principles in which the Mail Tribune strongly believed, MR.
TAFT DID NOT. We followed Roosevelt and what a differ
ent Roosevelt than his fourth cousin once removed! not only
because we believed in his principles, but because we believed
in HIM, as a MAN. Under similar conditions we would take
the same action, again.
BUT T. R. didn't desert bis party, go over to the enemy, and
take the stump for the democratic ticket, as Senator Norfis
has done. He formed his OWN party, presented his OWN
platform, took his OWN chances, and went down to an over
whelming defeat, with the ballet of a political enemy in his
body which may or may not have been the cause of his sudden
death a few years later. ' ,
ANY TIME SENATORS NORRIS OR JOHNSON WISH
TO DO THAT, TAKE THEIR CHANCES LIKE MEN THEY
HAVE OUR PERMISSION. We wouldn't support them, but
neither would we accuse them, as we do accuse them now of
political treachery, and the violation of every consideration
of common decency and fair play among men. ,
e e e e
IF this were their first offenso, our feeling would be different.
But it isn't, If Senator Norris has EVER loyally supported
the leader of the party to which he belongs, it must have been
years ago. He took the stump for Al Smith in 1928. He is on
the stump for Franklin D. now. When Chief Justice Hughes,
one of the finest Americans of his generation, was the Republi
can candidate for president what did Hiram do! He did pre
cisely what he is doing now.
Because Mr. Hughes, whon he entered California,' did not
properly KOW TOW to Big Boss Hiram, and tell him as the
adroit Franklin D. was so careful to do WHAT A GREAT
MAN HE WAS, Hiram sulked in his tent, issued orders to his
faithful henchmen to desert the leader of his own party, and
by that act alone, brought about Justice Hughes' defeat.
There was no principle involved in that BctionPi It was
entirely personal. He didn't like Hughes. He doesn't like
Hoover, in faot his vindictive and malignant hatred of the
president of his country, is one of the popular table topics in
Washington sooiety. Why this hatred t Because Hiram John
son has never forgiven Herbert Hoover, a fellow Californian,
for occupying the place, it has been the dream and ambition
of his life, himself to ocoupy.
That's all. "And everyone who knows Wve low-down on this
Johnson-Hoover feud, knows it. PURELY, SOLELY, AND
SELFISHLY PERSONAL. And when one says THAT, one
says all there is to say about nirarn Johnson.
QO much for that phase of the question. Now for the nest,
the last and to our mind the most important one.
As we remarked in the editorial in question, we hold no brief
for blind political partisanship, as the record of this paper, and
the Bull Moose excursion of its editor shows.
Nor have we any criticism for INDIVIDUALS, nominally
Republicans who ON PRINCIPLE, leave their party, and support
the opposing party, either in this election or any other
(although we fail to dotect a single principle upon which such
action is justified this year). They are entitled, however, to
their opinion, just as much as we are entitled to ours.
But we DO MA1NTAN, that what is perfectly proper and
right for a private individual, is not perfectly right and proper,
for a loader and important office holder in the Republican
party, or any oiler party.
For after all this is a country of PARTIES. The party is
an artificial organization, the personnel of which is constantly
changing, or we wouldn't need presidential elections at all.
But it IS an organiiatitm. And we feel those who ask favors
from that organization for themselves, who owe to that organi
zation NOT ONLY what fame they have, and even their own
livelihood, but who auk year after year, the support and suf
frage of that party, owo both a loyalty and an obligation to it,
which a privato individual does not owe.
That is why we said and repeat, that while we don't deny
the right of cit her Norris or Johnson deserting their party, and
going over to the enemy, this year, we do deny their right to
do that this year, when they have everything to gain and
nothing to lose; uud Jhtu crawling back on their bauds and
Smith's religion.
to vote wtih discrimination for
regardless of party, and SHOW
knees to that SAME party, two years hence, when they have
everything to lose and their jobs, their continued power and
prestige to gain ! '
QO we return to the conclusion of the editorial in question.
We are tired and we believe the fair-minded people of
this country are tired of these
self seekers, deserting their
THEM, and only supporting it, when THEY need the party.
Let them fish or cut bait. Go over to the Democrats and
stick to THEM ; form their own party as T. R. did and stick to
THAT j or stay in the Republican party, and give that party
the same loyal support, they demand FROM it !

who has ever had. bla gall-bladder

who don't take things too seriously
and nurses Who belong In the picture,
It la a Jolly excursion. But. I don't
know about this cholecystectomy or
cholecystotomy: sometimes It looks to
me as tho the victim's lot Is ten times
worse while the big drainage Is going
on than It was before the operation.
But happily after what must seem a
thousand yee-re or so the drainage is
over and the case Is closed perma

then feels so fine, In contrast with
his wretched state In hospital, that I
he readily believes the operation has

In fact we know It has, In practically I
every case. Only we must give the

bad bile he has gotten rid of?
I am sure the average surgeon j
cherishes some such notion. Surgeons, i
you know, the very best operators In
the business, are generally pretty
dumb When It comes to a question
of tfheropeutlo technic aside from the
method of operation. And the very I
best American surgeons recognize ,
their own Incompetence In the fine
points of preparatory and after-treatment
Indeed they usually leave
these responsibilities to the hands of
physicians who are skilled In such
fields, or defer to the Judgment of
medical colleagues when any auch
question arises In the course of the
operation.
Fifteen years ao & method of non
surgical drainage of the bile pass

by Lyon. This consists of the Inser

of the common stomach tube, but
thla one reaches the duodenum Just

solution of magnesium sulphate (ep

Conimiinications
Johnson and Norris Defended
To the Editor:
Tour editorial of November 18th
la one of the beet "confessions of an
Intolerant" I have ever read.
Senators Johnson and Norris may
not be loyal to the Republican party,
but they at least are not Buffering
from hereditary republican! t is to the
extent that they place party above
country, or political chicanery above
sincerity of convlctl on.
Now what M party loyalty, and
when should a man sacrifice princi
ple to party? When should a Repub
lican official sacrifice his country
and the Interests of his contttuenta
to the trade mark of his party?
Now while all may not wholly agree
with Johnson and Norris, all must
admit they have the courage of their
convictions and It does take courage,
a lot more than any local republican
has ever ahown, to do as they hare
done.
Is a man a demagogue or Bolshe
vik because he refuses to say "my
party right or wrong?" Won't you ad
mit that he show more true Amer
icanism than any man whose mind
turn about face at the crack of the
party whip?
Win you please define party loyal
ty as you understand it? Do you
really belt ere that Johnson and Nor
ris should bury their honest convlc
tione for Republlcanphobla?
Should Johnson and Norris loyal
ly serve that Invisible something
known as Republicanism, or ahould
they do what they really believe to
he to the beet Interests of the ris
ible men and women who make up
the Republican party?
If my memory serves me right. In
1W3, you bolted the late William
Howard Taft, and the Republican
party for Roosevelt and Johnaon.
which resumed in the overwhelming
defeat of Mr. Taft. Will you disting
uish between your bolt in 1813 and
the bolt of progressive Republicans
in 1033?

It from tonsils? (M. O. P.) Is damp

Answer More likely pronated or
flat feet. Any good physician ought
to be able to tell by examination
whether the feet require orthopedic
treatment, Whatever the trouble is,
I can assure you dampness has noth

Eat and Play.
How long after a meal should one
wait before going in swimming? Why
la it considered unsafe to go Into the
water directly after a meal? (J. M.)
Answer As long aa one would wait
to play a game of baseball or engage
In any vigorous exercise. It Is Just
one of those old Yankee legends.
Common sense tells you not to at
tempt any strenuous swimming or
running right after a hearty gorge.
But go in aa soon aa you like after
any ordinary light meal. Also It is
healthful to go In swimming while
you are all heated up and perhaps in
a sweat from hard play or hard work
on a hot day. Also It la healthful, so
far as you are concerned, to go In
swimming, If you wish, when but

Ed Note:
After the above was In print, and
an editorial on It had been written,

and asked that his letter he killed.
He said the Mall Tribune he thought

fair deal In Its news columns snd aa
a Democrat he did not wish to be

grateful. At our request, however, .:e
consented to let the communication
stand. We had written an answer.
It was too late to writs snythlng else,
and while an empty space In the edi
torial column would not have caused
any particular anguish on the part
of anyone but the skipper of that
column after all. editorial anguish
Is something. Isn't It?
Morevoer, we rather liked the com
munication. It was confined to
facta a perfectly fair attempt to re
fute this paper's stand, and auch
communications, free from personal
reflections upon the integrity of this
paper or anyone else, are (whether
they agree or disagree with the Mall

THE ARMY OF THE KNOCKERS
Theres' an army bold in the field,
Its ranks are filled with blatant
floppera;
No muster roll their names will yield,
Tls the Army of the Knockers.
No drum-beat keeps their rank 'In
step,
No banner yet have they unfurled;
The smell of powder halts their pep,
They're out of whack with all the
world.
Should the bugle sound the stirring
call,
And Uncle Ask for every man.
This army wouldn't move at all,
But lay as silent as a clam.
For Hoppers, like some sneaking
yeggs.
If askod to face a sword and gun.
Would stick their tails between their
'legs
And set about a speedy run.
And when, at last, the war is o'er,
Amid tihe shouting and the din.
These valiant floppers begin to roar,
And boast of how they helped to
win.
These floppers see through glasses
dark,
And scorn to share a brother's
load;
They're all for self, and Just to bark.
They'll crowd themselves across the
road.
Work Is wrong I Society la wrong 1
And all the world Is In a plight!
This Is the burden of their song,
Yet they nothing do to make It
right.
The plainest duties they love to shirk.
If wishes were horses, how they
would ridel
If shown a Job of honest work.
They'd pass by on the other side.
Tls hard to tell what would befall,
If the world was run by theae flop
pers; Tls sure we'd end. each and all.
Down in Davy Jones' lockers.
They knock the school, the state, the
church.
And claim the courts are but a
sham:
They knock the Judges from their
perch.
And defy the laws whene'er they
can.
They knock religion's hallowed shrine
And strive to quench Its holy fire;
They knock the tenets, all Divine,
And seek to kill the .oul's desire.
They knock the land that gives them
home,
And equal rights before the law;
They refuse the chance, all their own,
Beneath the flag without a flaw.
And when they've knocked the world

They'll storm the Pearly Gates on
