Your corr. vu bawled out by the esteemed Portland Oregonlan, and Hon. Al Flche. within a 34 hour period. W are no good. An tdltor 11 writer on the metropolitan sheet rushes to the rescue of the goose berry, and Mr. Plche drops his fish- lnr pole to defend the tourist ana the scenery. If the editorial writer had to pick a gallon of gooseberries, which are amply protected by thorns, and otherwise Inaccessible, and then eat a piece of cooked hennery goose berry pre, he would not feel so kindly towards them. Tourists and scenery are wonderful. Too many toutfsta. however, think a necessary part of the scenery is a county commissary, with no restrictions on the grub- grabbing. This la the type that Is more Interested In agitation, than the beauty of the snow-capped peaks. They want Beans for Bums, while the worthy poor get the worst of It. The col. to the west reports that the "saloon will nevrr come back." It also, look like the bootlegger would never go away. One of our lady autolata scored a ten-pla Sun. The ten-pin was a phone pole. The lady limps, her vehicle la being mauled by monkey wrenches, and the phone pole Is still a silent sentinel o the highway. The clgaret -makers are still pub lishing ads showing how a magician, aided by a beautiful lady, does his tricks, and cling to the slogan, "It's fun to be fooled." A straw vote shows that maijy would sooner be fooled by his assistant, than by the magician. People are still hoarding gold. It might as well be burled beneath the hen house, as dangling from a watch chain, as of yore. t The United States navy has been ordered to quit swearing. In time, the order may be broadened out to Include cussing the government, and everybody, on the street corners.

Bad the D'Autremont boys not held up a U. S. mail train, and consequently had Uncla Sam on their trail, it is doubtful they would ever have been caught The San Francisco Chronicle is advocating that tha govern ment take over the job of crushing out organized crime. It points out crime is no longer a local problem but a nation al menace, "Organized society must curb organized crime, or else organized crime will destroy organized society," 0 WE heartily agree with this view. The restriction' of police powers to the states was well adapted to the early days, when each state was more or less an independent unit, jealous of every other state. But long since we have become a closely knitted nation. Criminals recognize no state boundaries; why should the police t To quote the Chronicle: Ths murder rats In America, la three, fin, ton time that In other countrlu regarded aa clvlllrod.

Moan while the nation atanda helpleaa, crying for aid to th local government that are paralysed helpleaa but for tha atrong hand of tha federal government, which alon haa tha force to destroy organised crtm. 'T'HE moral angle of organized crime is the chief considers- tion, the destruction of life and property, the lowering of moral standards within the nation. But the economic burden crime imposes is also an important factor. Here in Jackson county, we now have a striking demonstra tion, of what crime costs the taxpayers. Not only does crime destroy, but bringing criminals to justice, places a heavy finan cial burden upon the community where crimes are committed. The federal government is aiding states, communities and individuals in oountlcss ways, during the present crisis. Why not give them aid also, in checking crime, which has made this country a paradise for criminals for nearly a generation and day in and day out costs the people such an appalling loss in blood and treasure t It Must PREMIER RAMSEY McDONALD may be slipping politically. -Tint Iia ian't. alinninc nrntnriftflll v. In hia nffininl pro nouncement at the opening of he demonstrated again that he convincing speakers in the world Here is a statement of his graved upon the minds of all present time: "Lit revolt against hardship and' the gain of th paat art wept away by the fore of despair." For nearly four years the' human race has been in the grip of a world wide depression, unprecedented in its extent and severity. The wonder is not that civilization has finally readied its supreme crisis; but that' it did NOT reach the parting of the ways long ago. D what we call civilization is to survive, the processes of disintegration must be checked, be lessoned or "the gains of by the forces of despair." Fortunately economio conditions are improving, not only in this country but abroad. But unless the competing nations of the world get together, in a union of oooporation, better feeling, and more genuine friendship, the start on the road to recovery will never proceed to the dawn of a better day. As Premier MacDonald truthfully says: "A. aelf sufficient nationalism In economic U the death knell of advancing prosperity, " If the present crisis is to he successfully surmounted, the various nations must do, what the individuals within those na tions, have done subordinate their selfish interests to the good of the whole. That familiar phrase "unless we all hang together, we will hang separately" certainly applies to the civilized world at the present time. To the extent that the London conference contributes to this new spirit a spirit of human brotherhood it might be termed it will be a success; to the extent that it fails to do so, it will be a dismal failure. The Reds rPlIAT line "Life revolts against hardship and the gains of the past are swept away by the forces of despair," has another important application. It is the basis of communistio aotivity against the capitalistic world particularly against the United States. What has been a devastating panh in this country, has been a boom for Brother Stalin of Moscow and the Third Interna tionale. They have made more progress in their effort to de stroy this government in the past three years, than they could have made under normal conditions, in as many decades. COMMUNISTIC agenta have been busy right here in South " em Oregon. In the lnrger oitieg they have been recruiting members night and day. They have told the sufforing people their only hope of betterment, escaping their sufferings and hardships lay in violence and revolution, and because life re volts against hardship they have drawn thousands of misguided people to the standard of the red flag. This isn't sensationalism, it is a known fact. The enemy is here and boring from within. Communities torn by dissension and atrife, are marked for particular attention, local trouble makera being given moral support and funds. The danger is real. As has been previously stated in this column, it is a time for those who believe in the government under which they live, who don't wish "the gains of the past to be swept away by the forces of despair" to be eternally on their guard, prepared to smash the dragon head of revolution tha moment it appears.

Prom Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, an expectant mother writes to k for advice about conservation of the vrrt teeth her teeth and the teeth of her prospective baby. Bh makes remark which strikes m odd. Bh says: Tbr 1 lsck of green vegetables In thl country In th winter time and my ordi nary diet con sisted of potatoes, meat and home-preserved fruit. Should I take cod liver oil to aupplement this, diet? Saskatoon la not farther than Chi cago or New York la from great gar den truck country, where fresh vege table and fresh fruit art plentiful in the market the year around. With all th wonder of modern trans portation method It leem strange that people should continue to live u most of us lived forty yeara ago when fresh vegetables, frk fruits, green ware to be had only when they grew In th bom gardens, for a fw short months In ununr. I wonder if ome petty tariff bickering be tween Canada and the United state accounta for this failure to use the gift of better transportation and better preservation of food for the benefit of everybody's health, not to mention everybody's prosperity. Such -an expectant mother may well take a dally ration of cod liver oil even If ah can hav a mora ade quate diet.

Fresh raw milk, cream and butter come next. Milk, even It It ha to be pasteurized, and cheese, are valuable ataplea In th diet of an expectant mother.

We think unemployment condition are pretty bad now, but In 1893. Mr. Kelly tell us, TWICE as many men per thousand of population were out of employment as now. Not th statement: 'Twice as many men per thousand of popula tion." There are more unemployed now than In 1893, but It la a bigger country. What he mean Is that the proportion of unemployment then was twice aa great as now. IN EACH ot these' crises, condition eemed to be so bsd that they never could get better again.. BUI' THEY DID.
