Temperature: Highest yesterday s l.onet this morning M M TOST . 1 i HE Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS CUBA, during the paat week and a bait, has gone through another revolution. The primary purpoae ot the revolution was to get rid of Presi dent Machado. WHY did the cubana want to get rid of Machado? Well. If you have been reading In the papers during the paat few daya ef the activities of b'la secret police, and of the'torture dungeons that have been discovered beneath fortress walls j with the bones of victims mouldering In them, you will know. We would rise In revolt also If we had a ruler like that. ITALY la ruled by a dictator. Ger many la ruled by a dictator. The powers that have been conferred on the President of the United 8tates are so yast that he could be a dictator If he wanted to be. Frightened by the grave problems ef the past few years, people all over the world have been turning to the Idea of dictatorship as a possible way put of their troubles. But don't forget this: MACHADO WAS A DICTATOR. HISTORY teaches us this lesson: It la only a step from dictatorship to DESPOTISM. Let's not put too much faith In dictatorships. SPEAKERS at the Oregon mining congress. In session last week at Eugene, predict that we are on the Terge of 'the greatest mining boom In history and express the belief that Oregon will be the center of this boom development. Here's hoping, anyway. Oregon can stand a lot of development. A MONO Oregon's minerals Is mer cury, or quicksilver. The market tot mercury -Is- ordinarily limited, . i Among recent Inventions, however, la the mercury turbine, a steam en gine operating with mercury vapor. Mercury, you know, vaporizes at a Tery low temperature, and condenses again very quickly. Great savings in power cost arc expected from the mercury turbine. IP THESE savings 'materialize, there will be a BIG market for mercury. Instead of a limited one. That would atart a great new Industry In Oregon. Invention and progreas, you aee, have a tremendoua lot to do with development of natural resources. PERHAPS you are tired of wheat figures. But here are some that are Interesting: The wheat crop of the United Ststes this year will total about 500 million bushela, as against a normal crop of around BOO million. But carry over stocks of wheat are estimated at 866 million bushels, which gives a total, Including new crop and carry ever, of 88S million bushels, or enough for domestic needs with 350 million bushels left over for export or carry over to next year. The prospects of an export market are anything but good, because an the rest ol the world haa plenty of t. '.teat. SO, YOU see. in spite of an abnorm ally short crop, there la no pros- pect of a wheat ahortage. That la why the government, under the new firm relief bill. Is going ahead with plana for reduction of wheat acre age. THERE are too many hogs at least In the opinion of hog producers So, as a means of reducing this surplus. It Is proposed to slaughter aome 4 million pigs and one million bred sows this year. This, If done, would also be under the powers grant ed by the farm relief bill. The objective, as In the case ol wheat, would be reduction of the sup ply, with consequent Increase In price. THE farm relief bill, with all It hopes to accomplish, ft a vast new experiment In government con trol of business. It may not work. Indeed, there are many Intelligent people who are posi tive that It won't work. But at least It Is proceeding along the only lines that offer any hope at all. The only possible way to In crease prices of agricultural products la to reduce the supply to the point . here there will be more buyers than filers.

(P The Ire of Mrs. Almee Semple Mc pherson Hutton, famed woman evan gelist, continued to burn today against a description of her as "a good actress and a clever showman." Her immediate retort after an In troduction Including .that phrase by George Classen, president of the Linn County Barr association at a lawyers' dinner, was: "I have never had such an Introduction before In 36 years as an evangelist, and I am cross." ; Claasen also referred, to her, as "the most widely advertised woman evan gelist In all history." ' '-'- - At a religious gathering later she said: "If It had been me I would have Just curled up and nearly died: but when they attack Christ, all the blood of- my ancestors for genera tions rises In my veins, and I must stand up and defend my faith." At the religious meetings she is conducting here, she planted to re peat during the day her assertion that Claasen had "put Christ under fire," and she was retaliating for that. Olaasen, meantime, stood by his guns and declared he "told the truth." Before calling on her to speak Sat urday, claasen whispered, according to Mrs. Hutton: "Don't mind when I Introduce you. I understand you are a good sport and can defend yourself." In discussing the tilt, the evangel ist said, "When I began to speak I told them X had not come expect ing to hear that kind of a speech. and that I thought It not nice to put the skids under me. I told them anything said in the introduction I took with a grain of salt because the man who introduced me doesn't be lieve Jn Christ, doesn't pray and be lieves in science and evolution In stead of the Bible. It was almost the most exciting experience in my life since my college days." "She called me an atheist." said Claasen, "but I'm not an atheist." P STARTS OUT ILL PEBBLE BEACH, Cal.. Aug. 31..
