work, are rushing' there. As yet no

The county Judge has been sassy to
the leaders, and refuses to move out
on the lawn and allow the auto

disposition on the part of constituted
authority to act dignified and blame
the display of organised ornerynesa

Good Work by State Police
TTTE State Bank at Aumsville, Oregon was robbed Saturday
A morning. This morning early, the bank robber wag arrest
ed, shortly after he stepped from a south-bound stage, by State
Detective Sergeant Jimmy O'Brien, and is now on his way to
Salem.
Another feather in the cap of the state police I Although in
service for a short time, the state police h,ave done more to
check the Oregon crime wave, than any organization in the
history of state law enforcement.
The state police are on the job all the time. They combine
efficiency with courtesy; zeal and fearlessness, with good judg
ment and restraint.
With state wide jurisdiction, they have a natural advantage
over other law enforcement agencies, in freedom of movement;
and at the same time are entirely free from any local political
complications which may exist.
Like the Canadian mounted they have only one chief aim:
"to get their man." To date they have established an enviable
batting average in this direction.
e s
HTIIB people of Southern Oregon are particularly in debt to
the state police. But for them, the serious situation which
existed here, four or five months ago, might well have resulted
in open violence and bloodshed.
Criminals and crooks don't like the state police. Organized
crime and the underworld, are, and have been, pulling every
available wire to discredit them, and undermine Governor Meier
politically, because he is chiefly responsible for their organi
zation. Good citizens everywhere, who believe in the maintenance of
law and order, and a persistent and unremitting war on organ
ized crime, therefore should give the state police their support,
and show state authorities that they appreciate what this or
ganization is doing to make this state a safer and a better place
in which to live.
Unless this is done, this self interested agitation against the
state police, augmented from time to time, by those who suffer
from its law enforcement services will eventually force the
organization into the maelstrom of politics, which will spell
either its abandonment or the end of its usefulness.
It's Bound
AS everyone knows, self preservation is the strongest instinct
' in the human animal. It is the exercise of this instinct,
which accounts for the tremendous and overwhelming popular
ity which President Boosevelt now enjoys.
This popularity has included all classes, all political factions.
He has a hold on the affections and loyalties of the American
people, which except for President Wilson at the entrance of
this country into the World war, has not been approached in the
nation's history.
BUT just as when war enthusiasm waned, President Wilson's
popularity waned with it; so when the enthusiasm for
President Roosevelt's war against economio collapse wanes, his
popularity will wane with THAT.- This is certain. It isn't a
matter of politics, it is a matter of human nature.
And that enthusiasm will wane, when the dangers of eco
nomio collapse decline, or disappear.
In other words, when business conditions in this country
become materially better, political conditions for President
Roosevelt will become materially worse.
s
THIS is inevitable. For with conditions returning to normal,
national psychology will return to normal. Then the Big
Business boys, and their satellites, who are oheering so loudly
for the new deal, and accepting its restrictions so nobly, no
longer afraid of ruin, will be looking around to see where they
get off, on the question of private profits,
And then for the Roosevelt administration the trouble will
begin. For the cohesive force of a common and genuine danger,
will be gone. Feeling safe once more the Big Boys will want
to abandon the new deal for the old one ; and the politicians in
the opposing party, who have been afraid to open their mouths,
will be opening them very wide, and very noisily again.

WE have an idea no one realizes this more clearly than
President Roosevelt, as he sails under clear skies, for the
Bay of Fuudy, with the oares of state left far behind him. He
is not only a very intelligent man, but he is a smart politician,
and as a member of the Wilson administration he knows from
actual experience how such things go.
In this President Roosevelt has a great advantage over his
former "Chief." For Woodrow Wilson was essentially a
theorist, with no experience in praotical politics. Roosevelt is
essentially a realist, and has been in practical politics, almost
without interruption, for over a quarter of a century. When
it comes to politics no one better knows his onions.
DUT knowing his onions, will not avert the inevitable turn
- in the tide, the unavoidable back swing of the pendulum.
It will, however, place the president in a far better strategic
position to successfully meet it
And in that fact, and that fact alone lies the best hope) of
those who believe in President, Roosovelt and his new deal,
and beliove that his administration will mark permanently a
new epoch, in the economic, social and political history of this
country.

ANALYSIS OF A NERVOUS WBECK.
AJ1 who purport to have bad nervea
or nervou hution are afraid of
something. Tha Clau B neurotica,
the crook, the
maHgnerefi, who,
thank hiTn,
constitute only a
minority of all
nervoui w re oka,
know what they
are afraid of;
they're afraid of
being found out.
The Class A ner
toui impostor
are too dumb to
comprehend that
the origin and
foundation of their "nervotianeaa" 1
fear, worry, anxiety. But these Class
A 'neurotica are not bad at heart, aa
a rule, and there la always hope for
them, provided they have aa much In
telligence as the normal 10-year-old
child. You know, a normal ten-year-old
child' will presently lay aside his
belief In Sunt a. Glaus and the Stork
if you assure blm again and again
that there are no auch birds. Like
wise he will cease to believe In ner
vous exhaustion If you assure him
over and over that In truth there la
no auch thing, since there Is no such
thing as nerve energy apart from ordi
nary physical, muscular or bodily
energy.
In order to restore a Class A ner
vous wreck to sobriety, usefulness and
happiness, the first requirement la
a general physical examination, or
call it a health examination, by a
physician who dosen't care a damn
whether the client pretends to be
"nervous" or not. In any case It Is
a mistake to suggest to a physician
that you are nervous It Is a tempta
tion to him to lay any organto or
functional Impairments or deficiencies
the examination discloses to your bad
nerves, and that, of course Is sheer
hocus-pocus.
All examination by an honest doc
tor may determine what alia you
really. This being a health column
we shall not suggest a thousand and
one things that masquerade as "ner
vous exhaustion" or "nervous break
down." Just one of the less common
things will suffice unsuspected dia
betes. Hastily turning now to the further
pursuit of the occult source of fear,
If the medical examination falls to
show any definite physical aliment,
next in order, that Is, if you sincerely
desire to be restored, Is a quiet talk
with your physician, or with your
spiritual adviser or with any good
friend whose character and education
command your respect, a talk about
life In general and your views or prin
ciples or alms In particular. Such
conversation, or a series of such- chats,
may bring to light the bidden com
plex or conflict that keeps you wor
ried. . .
MARVELS AT FAST
PACE ITJLLOIO
Roosevelt Put Congressmen
Through Furious Gait As
Dynamo to Furnish Power
for Emergency Program
By Herbert Plummer
WASHINGTON It wssnt until
the end was In sight and members
of the bouse hsd opportunity to
pause for breath, while the senate
was tied in a knot over psyment to
veterans, that they were able to real
ise Just what a pace President Roose
velt put them through tn the special
session.
It was apparent to most Washing
ton observers shortly after the spe
cial session was convened that the
president Intended using the house
of representatives as the dynamo to
furnish the power for pushing thru
his emergency legislative program.
The set-up In the house wss Ideal
for his plans. The democratic ma
jority was overwhelming. The rules
ot the body were., strict, and, once
Invoked, capable of being applied
ruthlessly.
Not so with the senate. There de
liberation on legislation Is a cher
ished prerogative. Every president
finds thst out sooner or later. Roose
velt knew It In advance.
' Rspld-FIre
So the presidential guns were
trained on the house. Literally a
barrage of legislative proposals was
laid down. At times they came so
fast that it left the congressmen be
wildered. Take the month of March, far ex
ample. The session was convened on
March 8. Here's the rapidity with
which the presidential guns rained
messages "on th. hill":
On the opening dsy came the
emergency biasing mi'.. (This meas
ure was pcased by both houses and
signed by the president before the
day was over.)
On the next dsy, March 10. the
economy measure, oalllng for drastic
reductions In governmental expendi
tures, landed In the lap of the house.
Then a week-end Intervened, but
three days later, on the morning of
March 14. cam that most surprising
of all measures, the beer bill.

mand for beer hardly had subsided

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
. Little" Disease.
I have a niece, aged 6 year old,
who has what doctors call Little's
disease. Is the cause of this known
and la there any cure for It? J. O. N.
Answer The cause Is not known.
All doctors know as little about It
as Little knew. The name Is applied
to various congenital conditions rang
ing from Idiocy and epilepsy to spas
tic paralysis without mental defect.
The outlook Is not encouraging tn
cases with scissors gait, ataxic move
ments and involuntary twitching or
trembling of the hands, tho with
growth and good training the patient
may acquire sufficient control to get
about and take care of himself.
Batt for Half-Blind.
I have heard of a book by a man
who claims he can cure bad eyesight
. , , s. a. r.
Answer The hokum Impresses the
unwary because they can't understand
It. But Isn't that the secret of a
thousand successes In the quackery
trade?
Monophobia,
Due to a "nervous breakdown" last
ing 3 years Z have a great fear of
going anywhere unescorted . . many
nerve specialists have fed me on
sedatives . . . Mrs. J. L.
Answer A "nerve specialist" Is Just
a highly refined quack. There la no
honest excuse for such a "specialty."
Mind, I am not referring to psychi
atry. Your phobia Is a common one.
Most healthy individuals have one or
another such phobia or peculiar fear
which they know la unreasonable.
Why take it so seriously? It Is amus
ing If you Just acknowledge It and
compare with the phobias of your
friends.

And then, to round out the month,
on March 39 the bill regulating the
sale of securities was dispatched.
Twenty days six high significant
legislative proposals.
That's an example of the speed
shown during the special session.
And the house, although bit grog
