Measure guaranteed. Valley Fuel Co., 74,72, The "Fear" Complex , i "PHE reaction to the Republican argument, that a voto for Roosevelt in a vote for a delay in th country' economic recovery, demonstrates beyond all question, that the thrust has gone home. Did this argument not seriously threaten what looked a few months ago, like a Democratic WALK OVER, the uproar of protest from every Democratic camp in the country, would hardly be as vociferous, or as universal. It is plain to see, the Roosevelt supporters do not like this sort of talk. They not only don't LIKE it, they regard it as unfair, ignoble, immoral and As Richard Washburn Child, who as "ghost writer" for the late President Harding, was chiefly responsible for placing that gentleman in the White House, and is now using his unques tioned literary talents to do the same thing for the OPPOSING party, this propoganda is : "One of rule or ruin, an Insult to ths Judgment of ths ' great American people," nothing less than "fabricated treason." These of course are very strong words. That's all right. No one blames the Roosevelt supporters feeling strongly. The Republicans would feel strongly, were they in the same predicament. But as one who honestly MEANS a vote for increasing instead of decreasing them, the velt enthusiasts would have a stronger case if they tried to REFUTE this argument, instead of doing nothing but abuse those who advance it. For as we look at it, refusal to answer an argument, is always a sign of weakness. It is scarcely a refutation brand it as an, "appeal to fear." to fear, as an EXPRESSION THE Mail Tribune DOES fear is elected, its fears may, that is not the question. The question is, are they honestly held, are there factors INHERENT in the present situation to SUPPORT such a' con viction; ' Our answer is "yes." The answer of the Demoorats U "no." All right again. We. don't expect the opposition to agree with us, but; IS it too much to expect them to show us, between now and election day where riot only we, but scores of business men in this city, and millions of them throughout the country, are WRONG t . That appeals to us as far better, than hurling blanket charges of trickery, obliquy and treason. OERILJLPS our point oould be made clearer by treating It metaphoricallyi The ship of state is in a raging storm, and through the fog, the lookout detects rocks ahead. If he raises the alarm, does everything he can do, to ohange the course of that ship, should, he be condemned! Would it be fair to accuse him of resorting to trickery, treason "or fraud! Or would he only be doing his duty, ADOPTING THE ONLY COURSE A LOOKOUT UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, COULD ADOPT 1 True his cry of warning would be an expression of fear fear of impending disaster. And those passengers or mernbers of the crew who could not see those rocks or didn't believe any rocks were near, might be justified in disregarding that warning, and condemning that look out, as a victim of his own hallucinations, or as an irresponsible alarmists trying to cause a panic. But the lookout himsolf could hardly be blamed. IN other words the situation in that ship would be, just as it is in this campaign a DIFFERENCE OF OPINION, and we don't doubt for a moment an HONEST difference of opinion. The Republicans believe one thing, the Democrats believe another; and the two parties are now trying to persuade the people of this country, to accept their belief as the right and proper one. The Republicans feat the results if the lookout's warning is NOT heeded, and Hoover is NOT kept at the holm; the Democrats, fear the results, if the warning IS heeded, and Hoover IS kept on the job. Both parties have expressed foar, both are expressing fear now. This is nothing new. "Viewing with alarm" has been a political practice ever since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. But the Democrats deny the right of the Republicans to express "fear" that' conditions would be worse; although since tho campaign started they have been expressing fear, that if Roosevolt isn't elected they CAN NEVER BE BETTER 1 The right to employ fear, to view with alarm, liko nearly everything else in this life, it seems,- DEPENDS UPON WHOSE OX IS GOBEDI TPHE only difference between them, as we see it, is that the Democratic fear for some reason has failed to impress the American people, and the Republican fear HAS. There is daily evidence of this. More end more people are beginning to fear the results to their own welfare and the welfare of their country, economically, if Roosevelt is elected, the Hoover program of rehabilitation checked and repudiated, and a period of inescapable confusion, doubt and uncertainty, injected into the ituotion at the PRESENT CRITICAL TIME. As a result more and more are deserting Roosevelt, and more and more are deciding in their OWN SELF INTEREST, to stick by the p.resident and keep him on the job. To take no ohances. To play safe as it were. This isn't ignoble. It is materialistic, of course, but when people are starving, hnsa't materialism material WELL BEING of a oountry's people ITS PLACE t ' ' TTHE way for the Democrats to counteract this tidal wave to the Republican standard is, to us, perfeetly clear. Not by calling the Republican leaders names, but by showing that their fears are unfounded, , SHOW TOEM that pulling President Hoover out of the pilot house and replacing him with Franklin D. would NOT be bad for the country, but GOODj SHOW them that a period of four months without responsible leadership in Washington, would NOT make times worse but make them BETTER; show them that discarding Republican tariff, reconstruction and relief policies, at this time, and after four months of inaction, replac aftS tlifiiu with olicic3 of a Dfniocratio tarty, which, have npj unpatriotic. believes, a vote for Roosevelt our IMMEDIATE economic ills, present writer feels, the Roose of the Republican argument, to It is not so much an appeal OF IT. the consequences, if Roosevelt or not not be justified, but been clearly defined, would RESTORE public confidence and remove fear, instead of doing PRECISELY THE REVERSE. That's all. It isn't a matter of throwing fits, or throwing brickbats. It's a matter for both parties of clearly presenting tlieir case, refuting the arguments of their opponents before the forum of the American people, and LETTING THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

TUB SURPLUS OP T HE STAFF OF LIFE ' When the venerable conductor started this game of teaching people how to keep well the majority of querlea sent in by began thus: "What shall I take for ao and so?" The young ones grew up and then the majority of oorreapon dents wanted to know what they ahould eat for what ailed them. They married and multiplied, and the second generation took most of the Joy out of the game, at least for me, by Importuning me everlasting ly to give 'em lints of things they ahould not eat for hypothetical afl ments they discovered in the maga zines. Without a subsidy from the farm ers or even a luncheon engagement with the elevator men of the coun try we have been carrying on In this column a quiet campaign to Induce more people to eat more wheat In the natural form or condition of the grain as It cornea from the thresh ing machine. Not to Indulge in wild speculation we estimate that up to now this propaganda of ours has sold several bushels of wheat at an aver age prlce'of 3 cents a pound to the farmer. Although health Is wealth, we cannot place a monetary estimate on the benefits people have derived from eating this wheat. "On the farm," writes a re markable farmer, "we eat our own wheat for breakfast and often for supper. Sometimes we toast it a bit before grinding, to give the porridge nutty flavor. To make biscuits or bread we grind the grain fine and all a small portion of white flour bought from the grocer. We find wheat eaten in this way delicious and wholesome. We raised 60 bushels of wheat on an acre, which If aold in the regular market would bring 933.60. at 66 cents a bushel. Sixty bushela of wheat will make ' 120 packages of the average breakfast food (60 pounds of wheat In a bushel) which sells at 10 cents a package, or In some storos three packages for a quar ter. A handsome profit for some body I "We grind all our own wheat for breakfast cereal porridge, bla cults, flapjacks and bread, ex cept the small quantity of patent white flour our women still add for making bread." The effect of our friend's sermon Is weakened by the confession that a little bleached flour is still consid ered necessary In the making of bread. But then, it is something to find a real farmer actually eating his home grown wheat and liking it. Most of 'em seem to think It is not quite fit to eat unless It has a pretty trade name and a fancy label on the package. . If the wheat you buy by the bush el, peck or pound from farmer mill, Communications Conforms to G. O. P. Policy. To th Editor: Your ftditaral of M;rida7 October lltb, .conforms to tr. policy of the ReTHitplican pcrty In thtM lat weeks of the prealdt-ntlal campaign, and is an obvious elfort to coerce weak kneed voters Into supporting Mr. Hoover through ah appeal to their fears. In the event of Mr. Roowvelt's elec tion this Republican campaign policy will go a long way toward destruc tion of that confidence In recovery Which, with great effort, haa been built up In the last few months; In the event of Mr. Hoover's election, with an adverse majority In both houses, the next aesalon of congress will be a dog fight, with every effort to thwart the administration except on such 'measures as command uni versal approval; that Is the plain poli tics of the situation, however much one may deplore It. X am one of many registered Republican who cannot loolt upon the party record and Its leadership In the lftst twelve years with any satisfaction, and Z intend to cart my vote for Mr. Roosevelt In the Hrm belief that his election, with a working contact of both House and Senate, will best serve the interests of the country as a whole, GORDON VOORHIES. Arlington Club, Portland, Oct. 30. A Questioned Answered. To the Editor: Will you please answer an argu ment regarding the coming election? A says no one defeated in the pri maries can run again for office, and If the name of such person is writ ten In on the ballot It will do him no good, no matter If his total ex ceeds the total vote of sny other candidate for that office, B says there la provision preventing a candidate defeated In the primaries running In the election as a candi date forr. at party but he can be a candidate for another party, or If he. Isn't a candidate but the voters write his name In, so hie total vote leads the ticket, he will be declared elect ed. Whlrh Is right? This refers to the sheriff race of course. Many ot us want to know If Jennings could he elected If his name was written in on the ballot by a sufficient plural ity of voters? A. 8. MANNING, feed a tore or seed store does not seem perfectly clesn, wash it with repeat ed rinsings In tepid water. Eat aome wheat every day, either raw (It la fine to chew) or cooked as you prefer, entire or cracked or ground with your own coffee mill or other grinder. Let it soak over night in water and cook It an hour, more or less, as you prefer, next morning. So long ss the taste suits you, It Is healthful no matter how short a time it has been cooked, or even if it has not been cooked at all. Of course cracking or grinding and soak ing in water makes the wheat cook more quickly. Wheat eaten in its natural state aa it comes from the thresher con tains all the virtues you can possi bly get from whole wheat flour bread, ' from wheat bran or from wheat germ.
