If a flank movement around tbe rock can be negotiated,
without sacrificing an important objective, a flank movement is
promptly ordered. But if that rock is directly in the path of
the main offensive, the rock is smashed, and the Roosevelt tank
with General Johnson at the wheel, goes reeling and plunging
on.
TPHE retail code is a ease in point. Tbe code originally pro-
vided a maximum 40 hour week. With many stores, par
ticularly food stores, operating as high as 60 hours a week,
this drop was regarded as too extreme. There was a vigorous

what to make of it.
Naturally I Because it is peculiarly, and essentially, AMERI
CAN. The American soldier waa not as well trained as the
professional soldier of Europe, the enemy soldier he fought,
was as brave as he was. But the American soldier WAS re
sourceful. He wag bound down by no rules or traditions. He
adjusted himself immediately to conditions as they arose, and
as a result, he was chiefly responsible for the allied victory.
Under Roosevelt leadership the American citizen ia proving
himself equally effective in this world war against the deprea
aion. What has been done in the past means nothing to him.
He ia only concerned with conditions as they exist, and what
must be done to make the world safe for prosperity, not for
added wealth for the few, but for greater well being, and eco
nomic stability for the many, the average man.
And it is IN that offensive he ia now engaged.

YES it is a very interesting time, in which to live. Every day,
and every way, there is something new under the sun.
A real revolution ia taking place, but it ia a peaoeful revolution,
and will so continue. Democracy also is demonstrating ita
elasticity, ita ability to adjust itself to ohanging conditions,
without breaking.
While on this subject one naturally' disoerns the real reason
why the Roosevelt administration ia so auccessful. It isn't luck.
It isn't merely because the American people demanded a change
and got it and having got it were disposed to support any
new program that was advanoed.
It ia essentially because, the Roosevelt administration, under
stood the -real spirit of America tensed ita geniua one might
say and utilized and coordinated that spirit, in the New Deal,
whioh it proposed.
THAT'S the answer. That ia why party lines are being for
A gotten, and why the Roosevelt administration is receiving
such cnthusiaetio and unanimous support. -
Roosevelt speaks the people's language, he answers the
popular demand ; he is in harmony with the American spirit,
and every day is coordinating and utilizing that spirit
This doesn't mean there are no breakers ahead. No rocks
or sandy shoala. Nor does it mean, that those who are now
throwing bouquets, will not, one of these days, be throwing
dead cata by the tail.
But it does mean, that the major victory will be won, that,
before reaction aeta in, the main objective will be attained.
There can be no other result, when the true spirit and genius
of the American people ia genuinely embodied in the administra
tion of their national affairs.
Not Too Fast!
IN THIS phase of the New Deal the people have an obvious
duty to perform. Thia la, briefly, to show common sense and
a certain spirit of reatraint.
The war psychology la being used, and properly so. But
no hysteria or hasty judgments are required. The more the
people insist upon going slow and keeping their heads the better
for all concerned.
The onuses ot the depression ran deep. The economic war ot
destruo'tion has been going on for a long time nearly four
years, in fact.
Time will be required to restore normalcy. A major opera

Dr. Jekyll seemed reasonably con
tent with life until he disassociated
himself Into Mr. Hyde for nefarious
purposes, and as soon as Hyde cut
loose the doctor's troubles began.
This, "complete nervous collapse"
or "breakdown" la of course sheer
hooey. No reputable physician or
specialist for a moment regards that
Idea seriously. If a doctor seems to
acquiesce In the charitable covering
over of a noisome scandal It is be
cause he Is a physician and not .cen
sor of morals and anyway it Is none
of the public's business what he
thinks alls his patient.
But I'm a newspaper man, In a
way, and so I venture to make this
plea. After many years of obstinate
misuse of the term "aphasia" (loss of
speech) when obviously the purpose
was to say loss of memory (amnesia),

learned to use the right word for It.
DEFENSE OF FEHL

county, and said It was "bad."
Known As Lad.
Under cross-examination Ptnkston
admitted that Burley Sexton was "H
or 1ft years old at the time." Quizzed
by Attorney Moody, the witness was
unable to name any other Coos
county schoolboy of 14 years, whose
reputation waa "bad."
Plnkston further stated that he
had been asked to testify by A. L.
Hugg, son-in-law of Walter J. Jones,
convicted of ballot theft, Plnkston
said he had lived on Thompson creek
for 18 months.
Because the state closed sooner
than expected, the court receased
half hour earlier than usual to allow
the defense to marshal Its witnesses.
The usual motion for a directed
verdict, Introduced by the defense,
was denied by the court.
The court Issued an order that all
defense witnesses 'be excused as-soon
aa thsy have testified, "so as not to be
drawing pay, and to keep the ex
pense down."
Fehl Meddling Ruled Out.
A proffer of the state to produce
evidence to show that Fehl had at
tempted to issue writs of habeas cor
pus, for the release of co-defendants
In the ballot theft cases, and also
attempted to secure the arrest of of
ficers actively engaged In the Investi
gation, was denied by the ocurt Mon
day afternoon, on the grounds that
It would be a "doubtful question" and
prejudicial, and thus conitltut a re
versible error.
Assistant Attorney General Moody
offered to produce evtden.t showing
that Fehl, a Joint defendant had at
tempted to secure the release of co-
defendants, and that an Injunction
enjoining Fehl had been lsued by Cir
cuit Judge William D. Duncan of
Klamath county. Despite this, the
state's attorney declared Fehl had
further attempted to Interfere.
The court said Fehl had no Juris
diction In the matter, however. Phil
Lowd, deputy sheriff, was called by
the state, to testify to the above prof
fer, and the Jury was excluded during
the arguments.
Mmd On Stand.
Lowd testified that he had loaned
his auto to Wesley McKitrlck and
Arthur LaDleu on the night of the
robbery. La Dleu leaving hla auto be
hind. The two told him. Lowd said,
when he loaned thtm his auto, "we
are going on a party and need, a lar?e
car." La Dleu told htm, the witness
said, ''we are going over to the court
house to steal some whiskey, and we
might get some ballots."
Lowd testified that his auto was In
the driveway covered with mud. and
the rear compartment littered with
straw. Lowd said he measured the
gasoline, and the car had been driven
M or 70 miles.
In view of tbe fact that every Intelli
gent person now knows that "nervous
breakdown" or "nervous collapse" Is
merely an attempt to conceal the
truth, why not drop It from news
writer's lingo and report Instead that
the scoundrel has entered the sani
tarium for some reason not disclosed?

kept ready to spread over the shoul

It not therefore an Incentive to

Answer If the kitten seems free
from diseases It Is a harmless pet for
your child. Children should be taught
to wash the hands Immediately after
handling, petting or playing with cat,
dog, or other pet, as a matter of sim
ple cleanliness and hygiene. Any cat
or dog, If permitted to lick a child's
hand or face, or to contaminate food
or toys or u tens lie with saliva, may
give the child worms (the eggs of
which are transferred In the animal's
saliva to the child's mouth). There
fore It Is Important for eltbrr child
or adult to carefully wash the hands
with soap and water Immediately
after feeding, petting or handling dog,
cat or other domestic animal. Send
a stamped envelope bearing your ad
dress, and ask for monographs on tu
berculosis and on home sanitation.

McKitrlck and Edlngton, who en
tered pleas of guilty testified that
they had borrowed. Lowd's auto, to
take the ballots to Rogue River, where
they were burned, first being removed
from a straw stack, where La Dleu
had hidden them, the testimony
showed.
Ingrld Holmes, secretary to the
county court testified that February
30, the dajr of the robbery, was her
first day at the courthouse, and that
she first heard of the ballot robbery
between nine and 0:30 o'clock. She
said Fehl generally came about that
time.
The secretary testified that Jones,
La Dleu, Brecheen, Glenn and O. H.
Brown were frequent visitors to the
county Judge after February 30, and
discussed private matters. The wit
ness said Brown, secretary of the
"Good Government Congress.", waa a
frequent visitor to the court, Imme
diately following the robbery.
'Elsie Olsln Brown, deputy county
clerk, testified that on the morning
of the robbery, County Clerk George
R. Carter came Into the county court
and asked for the appointment of a
nlghtwatchman for the courthouse,
saying: "The vault waa robbed last
night, and the ballots taken." This
was about 10:30 o'clock.
Fehl Surprised.
The witness said that Fehl "pre
tended surprise" at the robbery news,
though It had been known and dis
cussed throughout the city and court
house since 8:30 o'clock, when tt be
came genernlly known.
The clerk deputy testified that Fehl
opposed the appointment of a night
watchman, and asked "why one waa
needed, with a Janitor on every floor?"
and Insisted that the sheriff "could
look after It." Finally he agreed if
the sheriff could make the appoint
ment. At noon the commissioners
agreed upon the naming of W, F.
Rattle a nlghtwatchman. and It was
made over Fehl'a objections.
The witness testified that Fehl had
objected to the entry In the county
court Journal of hla conversation,
wherein he had expressed surprise at
the theft of ballots, two or more hours
sloner Nealon replied, "We can tell
after the robbery discovery.
! didn't steal the ballots." was
another statement the witness cred
ited to Fehl, who said that Com mis -you
more about that In a day or two.
The witness said she typed the
bonds for L. A. Banks on the evening
of the Vobbery. Banks was then under
arrest for criminal syndicalism, and
"that Frhl directed the proceedings."
She said Brecheen. Jones and La Dleu
all co-defendants, were present, Amos
Walker and former Sheriff Schermer
born were In and out, and many
others she did not know were present
at the sesAlon.
Corroborates Nealon.
Much of the testimony Commis
sioner Nealon gave last Saturday was
corroboratajd by the witness.
Sergeant James R. O'Brien of the
state police, was the final witness for
the stst. He testified to driving
past the courthouse About 0 30 and
10 mlnues later seeing the Sexton
Brothers in a Ford going north at
Main and Riverside avenue. The next
day when he learned of the ballot
robbery, he recalled the Incident. It
detetoped later that the Sextons and
R. C. Cutr.mlngs were headed for By

stolen from the vault.

(Continued from Page One)
that employers may MAKE PROFITS
with which to pay wages.
wytARK that statement: "So that
iVl employers may MAKE PROFITS
with which to pay wages.'1 It Is TRE
MENDOUSLY Important.
Wages can come only OUT OF
PROFITS. There Is nowhere else for
them to come from. If the employer
can't make a profit, he can't pay
wages, for there Is nothing to pay
them with. If you ever worked for a
man who went broke, you know that.
When your employer went broke,
you LOST TOUR JOB.
SO. IF the national Recovery program
Is to bring about Increased pur
chasing power by raising wages, It
must make It possible- for the em
ployer to earn a profit so he can PAT
BETTER WAGES.
Don't ever forget this: If your em
ployer can't earn a profit, he can't
pay you good wages. So dont grudge
him the chance to earn a fair profit.
It is his FAIR profit that enables him
to pay you fair wages.
The president and hla advisers
know this, and that Is why they pro
pose to make It possible for employers
to earn a fair profit. The Industrial
recovery program proposes to bring
about fair profits, Just as it proposes
to bring about fair wages.
One can't exist without the other.

As long as the donkeys fought

That Is the way It will be with this

Thousands Sign Up
Increasing thousands were signing
the latter. Today the post offices all
over the country began distributing
In earnest the distinctive insignia
which go zto those who "do their
part." The grand total of applicants
was not known but the recovery ad
ministration staff at last had added
up the telegrams and letters that re
piled to President Roosevelt's nation
al appeal for cooperation.
Fifty thousand personal messages
were in that stack. Thirty thouaand
telegrams, twenty thousand letter,.
Not all were pledges to aid the presi
dential program, but dissenters and
cranka were a amall minority.
Meantime, the hearing on the steel
code, started yesterday, waa In recess,
subject to recall, but with official
of the government and lnduatry be
ginning negotiations to reduce the
agreement's complex phases to term
which meet President Roosevelt's ob
jectives. Ponder Oil Code
Simultaneously, leaders of the oil
Industry considered a tentative new
draft of a code for themselves, writ
ten by Johnson's assistants. They will
meet tonight to appoint committees
to formulate a final, binding agree
ment. Johnson'a plan la based on
federal supervision of oil production
and prohibits sales at less than cost
of production.
Equally Important was the Increas
ing momentum in dealing with -actual,
concrete codes of fair competi
tion for Individual Industries. The
atack of four or five hundred which

been digested, reduced to those
which are In shape for handling, and
are being moved up to the" hearing
stage.
