What Price, Democracy!
rNID you ever look over the history of popular franchise t
It is a most interesting study.
The amount of blood and treasure expended through the
centuries to gain the franchise the right most of us consider so
fundamental and commonplace is simply appalling.
Wars have been fought, countless lives have been sacrificed,
fortunes have been spent, untold suffering hag been endured,
to give the men and women of today, the right to vote the
right to determine the character of the government under which
they live.
Under the circumstances it is rather strange, we have never
established a popular franchise day. We celebrate Indepen
dence Day, Decoration Day, Thanksgiving Day, but we have
never set apart a day to commemorate the achievement, without
which none of these days, would have been possible the secur
ing of universal suffrage.
TTTK believe the establishment of such a day would be de-
cidedly worth while. If more people particularly young
people, realized what their forefathers had sacrificed to give
them the ballot a secret and an honest ballot they would
perhaps be more conscious of their duty on election day be
less indifferent to exercising a privilege, secured at such
sacrifice, by those who have gone before them.
Once destroy this privilege, once impair the secrecy and
honesty of the ballot, and the achievement of centuries, is gone.
Popular rule is over, democracy is dead.
Q0 every election day is a test
to whether this generation really appreciates what has
been done for them, really deserves the power they have been
given. For on election day that equality which forms the cor
nerstone of democracy is literally attained. The man (or
woman), entering the voting booth, is King. Old or young,
rich or poor, prominent or obscure, he has equal power with
every other man. No one is greater. The man the common
man, is supreme.
As that priceless privilege was only obtained by struggle
and sacrifice, it can only be RETAINED, by fighting unceas
ingly, against forces any forces, seeking to destroy it. Eter
nal vigilance is the price of liberty, and eternal vigilance is also
the price of democracy.
Maintaining that privilege unsullied, sustaining tha power,
which is democracy's birthright, unimpaired; certainly is the
duty of every right thinking citizen in a Democracy.
The Saloon Is Dead
PRINTED in another column of this paper is a communica
tion from Mrs. Alice Applegate Sargent, of Jacksonville,
for whose opinion we have the highest respect.
Mrs. Sargent opposes the repeal of the 18th Amendment,
because she believes it will mean the return of the old time
saloon with all its vice, squalor and degeneracy.
We can't agree with Mrs. Sargent. We don't believe Prohi
bition repeal will mean the return of the old time saloon. If
we did we would oppose repeal quite as strongly as she does.
r;ERE are few issues upon which American opinion is
unanimous, but in our judgment the return of the old time
saloon is one of them, at least opinion is as unanimous as can
be humanly attained.
And that opinion is unanimously AGAINST. No one wants
the old time saloon. Practically no one will even tolerate the
idea. The saloon as it was before repeal, is as dead as King Tut.
On the other hand more and more people, don't want a con
tinuation of Prohibition, as it has developed in this country
the past ten or fifteen years. They don't want speakeasies;
they don't want bootleggers and moonshiners; they don't want
a gin-plastered and flaming youth; they don't want any con
tinuation of the destructive and unholy alliance between illicit
liquor and organized crime.-
THEY have, therefore, come to favor prohibition repeal, and
with President Roosevelt a "NEW DEAL" in the entire
business of intoxicating liquor. Thoy are convinced liquor
CAN'T be prohibited; they are equally convinced the old time
saloon carl't be tolerated.
They believe some other solution of the problem, CAN be
realized, Which will eliminate the evils of both these systems,
and by infringing on the personal liberty of no one, both reduce
the burden of public. debt, and advance the cause of REAL
TEMPERANCE.
That is tho view of this paper. We believe it Is a view
shared by more and more thinking people and we believe this
feeling, rather than ajiy desire for strong drink, is the com
pelling force behind the present repeal movement.
Editorial Comment
Not "Newspaper" Crime
The lamentable affair of Medford,
Ore., the culmination of wbloh was
the oonvtctlon of a violent crusader
of second degree murder, la some
thing to be deplored. There la In tho
circumstance a lesson that should be
taken to heart.
Llewellyn A. Banke, a business
plunger and with a heart bursting
with hatred for aU whom he could
not subvert to his own trend of thot
and domination, shot and kill
ed an officer of tho law who wa at
tempting to make legal service of a
document ordering the murderer Into
court, tn the defense there was not
the slightest attempt to show that the
act of shooting was other than Jus
tifiable. It was but a circumstance
in the career of a man who would
rule or ruin or murder.
Many wlU longest remember the
circumstance as murder by an edi
tor. As a matter of fact, there Is
nothing in the atrocity of crime or
connection . to require those of the
newspaper profession to Apologise for.
1-t Is true the murderer had been
publishing something of a newspaper,
it Is better known that the publica
tion was nothing else than a propa
ganda sheet used for advancing the
personal alms of the murderer. The
conviction and ultimate punishment
of Bsnks csn stand aa a necessity of
law and order If government shsU
continue. Men have no right to take
to themselves power, assumed be
cause of a brsln that reeka of Intol
erance of U right, of o there. Man?

to tear something down that they

the bold hussies who had their hair

skirts and faces were positively requir
ed to be long.
Figures do not lie, at least not near
ly so much ss they did in the days
when It was a bit brlsque for a wo
man to ride a bicycle. Whatever fears
we old fogy physicians may have had
about the effects of all this change In
the ways of womanhood, the facts
have proved that the modern article is
superior in every respect to the 19th
century woman. -Notably more capa
ble and efficient Is the woman of to
day in child-bearing and child rear
ing. Physically she Is a distinct Im
provement upon the woman of the
past generation.
Driving a car Is precious little ex
ercise. Having a car at her disposal
even if she has enough spirit to drive
It herself, Is an unfortunate thing for
a healthy woman. It would be much
better for her to run many of her
errands or go shopping or pay calls
afoot, for part of the exercise she
must get If she wishes to retain her
youth and beauty.
Ot, It Is healthful, all right, to
drive your car, that is, If you have
no obsessions about air, sunshine,
weather, drafts, etc. But after all, It
Is not exercise, and you cannot ex
pect to keep trim and fit If you evade
your dally stint of work, play, exer

Walking, which was formerly demo
cratic and economic! recreation and
exercise, has become too expensive
for folks of ordinary means. It takes
two hours a day to walk six miles in
ordinary city traffic Six miles a day
is the minimum essential to keep an
ordinary Individual fairly fit.
Riding a bicycle Is quite as valu
able exercise as is dally walking, and
you can get approximately the same
benefit from an hour of riding that
you get from two hours of walking.
So If you can't afford to walk, get a
bike and do the beet you can lor

Communications
Opposed to Dry Repeal
To the Editor: '
The Bible tells us that "Out of
the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh." This la true, It
Is also true that out of the abund
ance of experience the mouth speak
eth. My experience of the evils of drink
has not been confined -to one coun
ty nor to one state alone, but has
been nation-wide.
Near aU the army posts the saloon
men piled their disgraceful traffic.
These men made It their business
to know when the paymaster was
due to psy off the soldiers, then
they were enticed Into the saloons
and given drugged whiskey and rob
bed. Nothing could be done for .these
saloon keepers were licensed to sell
liquor. Since prohibition became a
law this has all been done away
with. True, prohibition has not
been as great a euccess as we had
hoped, but I know from my own
experience that It has not been a
failure.
We need a change, new and more
drastlo laws, but we must not do
away with prohibition. Many tell
us that conditions are wore than
they have ever been. I know posi
tively that this-Is not true. People
seem to think that the apeskeasles
came in with prohibition. This also
la not true, these we have had al
ways with us but they were oper
ated under another name. In the
days of the open saloon they were
known as "blind pigs." Here la an
example: In Aleghaney company.
Pennsylvania, there were 2000 blind
pigs. Saloons were running wide
open, but the men who operated
the blind pigs were selling liquor
without a license. This Is suthen-
tlo Information think It over.
Let us hope that the thinking pea-
pie of Oregon will not vote for the
repeal of the 18th amendment.
Do away wltb prohibition and Just
ss sure as the sun rises In the east.
and sets tn the west we will have
again the open saloon, an evil most
truthfully portrayed by the follow
ing poem:
"THE SALOON BAR
"A bar to heaven, a door to hell
Whoever named It, named It well I
A bar to manliness and wealth.
A door to want and broken health.
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to sin and grief and shame;
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer,
A door to darkness and despair.
A bar to honored, useful life,
A door to brawling, senseless strife;
A bar to all that's true and brave.
A door to every drunkard's gTave.
A bar to Joy that home Imparts.
A door to tears and aching hearts;
A bar to heaven, a door to hell
Whoever named It, named It well!"

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Radium for Cancer.
Woman with cancer of cervix, un
der radium treatment. The doctor
says the cancer has Just started. Pa
tient's friend, a train. ' nurse, writes
her that radium does not cure, and
that there Is only one way and that
Is to have the womb removed at once.
Patient feels better since she had ra
dium treatment. Doea the nurse know
more than the doctor? (H. W.)
Auswer If the patient has confi
dence in her doctor there Is no reason
why she should not put the question
to him and have the oplnlan and ad
vice of one or more other physicians
upon the method of treatment best
for the case. She must not remain in
doubt.
Fit for Maternity?
I am about to be married. My old
er sister had a baby a few years ago
and soon afterward went Into tuber
culosis. I have not been a bit well
for the last four years. Do you sup
pose that If I were to have a child
I would go the same way? (Miss B. J.
R.)
Answer That Is not the question,
The question now Is, are you fit to
marry? Before you contract marriage
you owe It as a duty to yourself, your
Intended husband and your offspring
In future, to undergo one or a series
of careful examinations by your phys
ician, to make sure you have no tu
berculosis. When your doctor is satis
fled you havent the disease, then
you can marry, live happily and have
your family. Such prolonged Intimate
exposure as you had, if your sister
lived with you, is the most likely way
to catch tuberculosis. Only by careful
examinations at intervals for several
months can a physician make sure
you haven't the early stage of the
disease. To marry without that as
surance would be tragic and crimin
al. (Copyright 1033, John F. Dili Co.)
I will be clearly drawn In the econ
omy legislation between those who
suffered disability from war service
and those who did not. It la to be
regretted that more editors do not
speak out frankly upon legislation
relating to ex-service men.
Some editors are evidently afraid
of the ex-service men's organizations.
Others do not wish to appear un
grateful to ex-service men. It Is
the price we pay for having senti
mentally made a hero ot every man
In uniform, though he served but
a few months In a training , imp
on thla side. In my opinion the
government owes nothing to men
In this class. What Is the merit
of serving your country If you bleed
her for It?
Suppose my house got on fire, and
my family was rescued by neighbors.
Would a neighbor who arrived too
late to help, be Justified in bleeding
me the rest of my life?
In my opinion those who demand
a bonus for able-bodied ex-service
men are pretty poor patrlcte. We
are approaching a situation as scan
dalous as that which followed the
Civil war, when a Justice of the
supreme court of Michigan drew pay
from Uncle Sam for total disabil
ity: when the records of bounty
Jumpers were cleared by private bills;
when men who served but ninety
days, and got no nearer the firing
Une than five hundred mile, drew
substantial pensions.
The veterans' organizations need
to clean houae. It is true they have
done something for deserving vet
erans. It is equally true that they
have advanced the selfish demands
of undeserving ex-service men.
The veterans' organisations have
proved to be organisations for pat
riotic purposes (and so far to be
commended), and organisations for
profit.
It Is a sad commentary upon our
social system that a man who sky
larked through a few months of
training camp, and came out in Im
proved physical condition, can get
free hospitalization, whereas a man
who has served many years without
pay on a school bosrd, gets nothing
in that line.
The veterans' organisations fall
Into the way of thinking that they
alone represent the deserving veter
ans. The deserving veterans need
no special representatives. Hundreds
of thousands of grateful and pat
riotic Americans are their represen
tatives and will see that they are
Justly served.
I hope that we shall see accomp
lished In this administration legis
lation that shall do Justice to aU
legitimate service claims, but that
shall be comprehensive and final.
I hope that we shall see an end
to continuing assaults upon the
public treaaury In the Interests of
ex-service men.

DAY BY DAY
By O. O. Mclntyre
NEW YORK, June 10. X have been
cleaning out an old desk today, a
rickety affair fit only for kindling
wood. It was
bought second
hand with the
first check 8,
earned as a prac
titioner of belles
lettres. The yel
lowing contents
seemed mostly a
bundle of hellish
heart-aches.
Four warped
drawers were
filled with stuff
no one would
buy. The nearest
manuscript in
O. O. Mclntyre the lot came to
success was one that held this brief
from an editor, by a clip: "We were
tempted to buy this but It lacks
something. Why not try again?"
It's a matter of record, that six
more tries were made but none made
the grade. One I noticed began
holty-toitlly: "The Hudson rose grey
like a coil of blown smoke." I read
on trying to catch some fugitive vein
of talent. It was not there and I
freely forgive the editors.
There was a long poem, too, that
had been colled Into a disappointed
wad. It must have been written
about the time Vachel Lindsay was
beginning to be heard and expressed
a bulimia for Lindsay's effects. Also
a caustic cutting from Don Mar
quis' column about another column
ist that was torpedoed after one
edition.
One forlorn essay parodying the
meandering Michael Arlen style that
flared Into such sudden hoop-la was
returned by Harpy's Bazaar without
customary rejection slip, but there
was an epistolary sting Just the same.
The editor had written: "This is fair
parody but poor essay." A consola
tion was comparing It with another
note among my lares and pe nates
of three years ago which reads: "Your
piece for Harper's Bazaar rings the
bell. It's a pippin 1" One of the few
Instances where comparison was not
odious.
