Not since the inauguration of President Lincoln, has a presi dent entered the White House with greater responsibilities and graver problems to IMMEDIATELY solve, than President Franklin D. Roosevelt. But as this country successfully survived both those crises, IT WILL SUCCESSFULLY SURVIVE THIS ONE. And the same ruggedness of national character, the same unyielding courage and spirit victory in 1865 and 1918, will DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT his famous predecessors. White House, only had a unified north; Wilson when he ENTERED THE WHITE HOUSE, had only a united party; but President Roosevelt when he took bis oath of office Saturday, had, and has today, a united COUNTRY. ORESIDENT ROOSEVELT enjoys another advantage. The forces threatening destruction are not alien or militaristic, they are only financial and economic. This country is at peace No armed foe is knocking at our gates, no section of the country is in rebellion. Our dangers are not from without but only from within; we are not called upon to destroy, but merely to effect a readjustment. To effect that readjustment, however, we need the same qualities of national character we needed over 70 years ago, and again, 50 years later. In a word, we only need this GOOD SOLDIERS! WHAT is a good soldier! A good soldier is a good citiz-n, ready and eager to do his bit. A good citizen determined to keen his head and hold his rround.

We have yielded to panic and to fear. Fear brought this banking crisis.

Some of our readers, the dentora at any rate, may recall an outburst of the conductor, which wae oniy too evidently Inspired by an Item In a dentist's bill, td wit, "Prophylaxl 5." It Is only human nature to feel bitter when you pay a doctor bill of any kind. X suppose. Even a dentist's bill 1 no picnic, tho the dentists have It over the doctors In one respect, namely, they hand the client some thing tangible a bit of gold, maybe. or a beautiful denture, or at least a hole he can feel with hia tongue and It la always less painful to pay for a tangible thing, that la. In every transaction except a funeral. In the outburst instigated by the five-berry trick I reiterated the pro posal that all dental schools should be done away with, as they give stu dents virtually a medlca course any way. Students who Intend to prac tice dentistry should be required to complete the regular medical course in a regular medical school, and then they should receive whatever post graduate technical Instruction the specialty they elect to practice re quires. For general dentistry from jtion .houid suHioe comparable with the one, or two years the. medical (graduate spends as interne before he Jjntflr, practice. ' This proposal is no pipe dream, it jls certain to come to pass, and soon. L regard our pr(!Mnt culty of I tlste aa the last of the old model. (Even now there la a steadily Increas ing number of men who first gain the degree of Doctor of Medicine and then follow whatever technical courses they need to qualify them to practice dentistry. Mind, a Doctor of Medi cine, a man or woman with the M. D. degree, and a license to practice medi cine, requires no further qualifica tion to practice dentistry If he so de sires. So, you see, my proposal is both practical and sensible It is just a few years ahead of the times. Another proposal I reiterated In the outburst Inspired by the charge of five stmoleons for cleanliness was that the dentists relinquish trade use of the title of "Doctor" to practicing physicians exclusively, for the sake of ; Word "Pioneer" Brings Long- Winded Debate in House of Representatives (Mary Grelner KeUy) SALEM, March 3,--(8pl) Stranger, there was blue blood In ttioso cov ered wagons) And the veins of the oxen drivers' descendants swell up In convulsive Indignation at the promiscuous use of the word "pio neer." That alone, caused an hours debate on house bill 440 which came up for final passage at tonights house session. The measure, granting a free hunt ing and fishing license to war vet erans and to "pioneers" who have resided In the state of Oregon for over 00 years, Just barely survived getting killed In the free-for-all Wihtch followed Its final reading. Representative Hall, of Multnomah, who comes from covered wagon an cestry, regretted the language of the bill. In satirical vein, he pointed to the fact that Representative Nich ols, who was born In Douglas coun ty, 01 years ago, was, In the lang uage of the bill, the only pioneer In the house. "And there's poor Dr. Best of Pendleton." he said, "who has been In this atate only 85 years. He will .have to wait until he la 04 years before he can be classed a pioneer and get a free hunting and fishing llMn " Representative Hall suggested If years of restdenca was all that con stituted a pioneer, that the time limit be set up still further so he could be known as "John Hall, the boy pioneer of Oregon." He Is 32. Such carryings on as this, got un der the hide of "Cougar" Ben Nich ols, who gave "young Hall" a verbal threshing, as he paced back and forth across the aisle. He, Ben Nichols, dldnt drive any oxen across th plains, he said, but he helped to clvlllne some of the ones that had been dumped out here. "I never had a street car to' ride In, nor a bus, he said, "but I walk ed my long miles to school, after I'd done a man's alee Job of chores. And when I came horns at night. I studied my books by the light of tallow candles that I .helped my mother make. If those men who for 60 years hare lived and worked out the problems of civil Ira t Ion for this state aren't worthy of the name of pioneer, I'd like to know why." And Ben Nichols sat down with re sounding emphasis. Then the house lined up on both Idee. It was the covered wagon descendants versus the native sons and fists began to clench all around. The natives tried to unseat the oxen drivers and the covered wagoners tried to run over the rest of the bunch. Finally somebody ca!.d attention to ths bill and its merits, and ev erybody cooled off. The bill was amended and what was formerly "pioneer- became "any cltlsen." It passed unanimously. Representatives and Mrs. Earl Day were honored today by a house res olution congratulating them on their silver wedding anniversary. With his public welfare. I even went so far aa to offer the dentists a trade name that would distinguish them unmis takably. Wouldn't Dentor Doe be a more convenient announcement to the public than the clumsy Doctor Doe, Dentist, or the mystic John Doe, D. D. 8.7 I think so, and many ex cellent dentists have assured me they think so, too. But some of the breth ren whose letters indicate they write with greater facility than they think, seem to resent everything I said In thia outburst. Including my yodel about the price of prophylaxis. Maybe I'm wrong. It la my under standing that prophylaxta means pre vention of Infection, and Implies the use of surgical asepsis, rigid clean 11- ness. perhaps antiseptics, sterilized in struments and materials . . . and if I'm right about that I aay the den tist, physician, surgeon or specialist who Itemizes prophylaxis In his bill Is simply cleaning up while he has the victim covered.

The "legislative luncheon club" is getting to be quits a racket. And it's always aome man who pays and pays and pays. It started out with that group of workers who grind out the bills In the legislation and rulea committee room. They ,had a plate of sandwiches and a pot of coffee brought up to the room, ao they wouldn't have to waste too much time at noon. Gradually various legislators 'drift ed In and were Invited to Join the "club." They took turns paying for the sandwiches. More legislators and more stenographers and newspaper men Joined the group. Now It takes several trays of sandwiches and gal lons of coffee to feed the group each noon. After each luncheon, a different legislator la warned that ,he la to be host next day, whether he likes It or not. Today It was .Speaker Earl Snail. Some legislators aren't broke yet, in spite of the state pay having stopped two weelu ago. Otherwise the rest of them might go hungry. It's really refreshing to see someone like Representative "Doc" Best of Pendleton, who can still take aa high as 30 leglslatora and their wives to dinner. He did that last night, and trusted them alone with the menu too. Several people around the state .house reported In excited sotto voce that they had seen an editor from Med ford in the capltol today.

While McDuffle had the advice of Garner, Mr. Byrnes took h own advice. He saw Mr. Ralney on the sly and fixed things up. Mr. Garner Is very smart, and Mr. Mc Duffle had all the benefit of his smartness. It was Just unfortunate that he happened to be too smart. The appointment of Rexford O.

Rex Tugwell learned about farming at Columbia university's Morntngslde Heights plan of higher education In publicity. Mr. Roosevelt has received plenty of protests against his selection of Miss Prances Perkins as secretary of labor. Apparently Mrs. Roosevelt had more to do with the .selection than this column was able to confess last week. Her closest friends say she centered on the selection and carried It through. Mrs. Roosevelt will weigh more In the administration than her actual poundage. A reason Arthur Mullen of Nebras ka didn't get the attorney general ship was that he campaigned too ar dently for It. Mr. Mullen was the pioneer Roose velt -for-Presldent man. He ' was Roosevelt's floor manager at Chicago. Roosevelt s forces thought he was sufficiently paid for his floor mana gership by the fact thnt he was floor manager. That created a situation. He didn't get the lob . . . but he will be a federal Judge In his home state of Nobrnska. He could not see being assistant attorney general un der Cummlngs. Al Smith la not the "forgotten man." That gentleman Is Miss Fran ces Perkins's husband. You probably never heard of It. but his name Is Paul Wilson. He works hard and does his own Job working for a brokerage house. He will stay In New York. The new administration Is wet, ln- side and out. You should have seen the dance that Roosevelts henchmen staged at the MayHower two nights before the inauguration. Above all, you should have seen Huey Long playing the drums. There is no end to the man's versatility. A trustworthy wireless says that the rapid growth of Japanese race consciousness Is an Important reac tion to withdrawal from the league. The Impression Is strengthening that the Japanese fear causing the white nations unconsciously to unite against the rising tide of color.

A far-reaching campaign on these lines Is predicted swiftly fol lowing the Jehol campaign.

Mrs. Bertha Bursell, chairman of the Pomona Heme Economics com mlttee, has Issued to all subordinate Grange Home Economic committees, a resolution requesting the co-opera tion of these committees. The resolution la as follows: "That, Whereas, It Is the main ob ject, of the Grange to work for the econom,lo Interest of the farmer, "And Whereas, farm products ship ped long distances tend to create an unfair competition with home grown products and add to the cost to the consumer; "Therefore, be It resolved that we, the undersigned Grange members agree to be loyal to our local pro ducers and buy only local and Ore gon grown and processed products when possible to procure them in our markets, and we further urge our merchants to handle only the above-named products when they can be had." Space Is reserved below this reso lution for the signatures of Orange members. It Is generally understood that about 90 per cent of the buying for the table Is done by the women. This being the case, it la necessary to In terest the women In thia project, and It Is hoped that every Grange woman will sign her name to this resolution. When the local merchant buys out side fresh or processed products, the money Is gone, so far as our com munity Is concerned. It will not be returned to the merchant In other trade. When the merchant buys home grown products, the money stays at home and Is again used to buy ne cessities, and In this way will again find Its way to the pocket of the merchant. When local cannery products are bought by the canneryman and the merchant, the money wlU again find its way back to the merchant for seed, hardware, lumber, machinery, provisions and clothing. This be comes a "ring around a rosle" game, one In which every member of our local community can play, and be benefitted by. 4 BIRTHS Born to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel E.
