In accordance with long established Eastern Oregon cus torn. a a a Sthlvareere now threaten to, take their victims to Ashland. a a It's the same old tragic story of the timber two hunters shot and killed on the second day of the deer season, and more to follow, If the law of averages holds out. "Details are meager" they always are. For weeks before the hunting season opens, hunters are cautioned, and editorially beseeched, "dont shoot till you see horns." It seems to be a waste of time, thought, printers' Ink and white paper. The answer seems to be defiant gestures: "No body can tell me what to do when I am hunting." The hunters evi dently shoot before they see horns. or anything else. If nobody ever killed another deer, the world would roll along about the same; In fact, the world Is a trifle worse off for a deer, alaylng. Many hunters rush Into the woods and start shooting at every opportunity, at everything. that might, by any chance, be deer. They pull the trigger and weep. If necessary. If they kill human It comee under the cynical head of "too gad." The cure la the penitentiary, whatever the alibi. In states that make accidental killing for a deer msnslsuahter. hunter are as careful with their guns as they are with their money. Robberies Tost R. R.'s A76.tl.

For the time being all other business would be dropped. No time would be wasted in waiting for federal or outside help. Like the minute men of old the people would arise to do the job themselves, under the best leadership they could secure. WELL there is no armed foe marching on Oregon, hut there 23 a foe threatening the serious injury if not the destruc tion, of this state nevertheless. It is the foe of economic col lapse, just as surely endangering our homes, and the security of our families, as if the weapons were poison gas and bombs in stead of merely bare cupbonrds and empty pocketbooks. The state is in critical danger, financially. What should the people do in this caset Obviously just what they would do In tha first case. Immediately get together the strongest fighting force available, waste no time in waiting for outside assistance, but prepare to do the job themselves under the best leadership that could be secured. THAT is what should be done in this matter of sending two new representatives to the special session of the state legis lature from Jackson county. This community and this state face a crisis. It is no time to consider mediocrity, or partisan politics, or ANYTHING but the pressing problem that confronts us and its prompt and satisfactory solution. The two best men, best in the sense of most able and effec tive should be sent to represent Jackson county at the special session. For this will be the most important legislative session, in the recent history of this state. This session must solve the state financial problem, the state relief problem, the state liquor problem, the state educational problem; it must devise a workable plan for" saving this state from bankruptcy and economic destruction. v It is no time to quibble about whether a man ia a Republican or a Democrat, whether he is young or old, whether he lives in one section of the county or another, whether he earns money with his HANDS or his head. There is only one thing to con sider what CAN HE DO, what has he done, is he a man of character, force and capability, a time server or an also-ran. of independence and leadership for in this session mere mocking birds or "yes men" are going to be hopelessly lost in the shuffle. If he is an outstanding man of ability and integrity he should be sent. If he isn't he shouldn't be. OUT will this be the procedure t We doubt it. That compari " son of the present situation with the situation of an invad ing army is somewhat overdrawn of course, but the analogy is THERE, nevertheless. Oregon a desperate emergency. But dropping all other business to get the best men and the best leadership available, is unfortunately not the fashion in practical politics. There are backs to be scratched, debts to be paid, compromises to be made. And that is one reason in state is in the mess it is, at the present time; and why it looks like such an insurmountable task, to pull it out without serious injury. . Everyone s Business, Nobody s Business JACKSON county will not elect the two new legislators. Qov arnnr ATwipr will nnnnint. thnm Tlnf thfl ffuvamor nnt.nrflllv will first test out public opinion to pick out the two most nearly majority. ' The two strongest men should support. What party labels they may wear, or what walk of life they may come from should case. They should be selected for the jobs they will assume, goods. OUT with about as many potential candidates as there are cull pears on the ground, with one faction for this man and another for someone else only a miracle can establish the final selection on this basis. Unless all signs fail instead of the two best men being selected, the two least likely to offend certain organized minorities will be chosen. In short the outcome will compromises particularly in a results will be disappointing. Too bad. But this is the resistance. The wonder is not publio life, but that under the get ANT AT ALL I If we ran private business wouldn't be a solvent ooncern in the country. The amazing thing is how our various governments, local and national, in spite of our bunglesome and slip-shod political methods, some how "muddle through." And when looking for a scapegoat we need look no further away than ourselves. We the people are to blame, and on one else. The people in this democracy can have whatever they as a body insist upon. They do got, "just what they vote for." If they vote for a failure that for a demagogue, a man who can against class and nothing else vote for a man big on promises is what they get, too. But if they take the time to analyze the situation a little say as much time as they would spend in selecting a new hat or pair of shoes or a movie, and ohoose a new publie official, solely on the ground of his fitness for the job then they get a good official and they get good government.

"The great ' est difflccul- ! est difflcul pralsal of the effect of the whooping cough vacci nation is that n o suitable control material lb at hand." So writes Dr. Thorvald Madaen, from the State Serum Institute, Co penhagen. What does he mean "control mate rial"? That doesn't matter to a quack, a nostrum vendor or a testi monial writer. But It should matter to any honest Individual who has a modicum of common sense. If a thousand guest cockroaches In the home of A are liberally treated with sodium fluoride powder sprin kled Into all corners or nooks where the roaches may run; and another thousand guest roaches In the home of neighbor B are provided with the same food, shelter andeverythlng ex cept the sodium fluoride, the 19,823 B-roaches will serve as an excellent control in the appraisal of the value of sodium fluoride powder as a roach exterminator or repellant, when you ohcek up on results after a week or so. On the other hand, If you find an Increased mortality rate among the dogs, cats or children in the A household, that will show you must not leave sodium fluoride around where dogs, cat or children can get it in their mouths or on their hands or feet or food. In an epidemic of whooping cough In the Faroe Islands In 1929 and In an earlier epidemic in. 1923-24, some valuable control observations were made. In the earlier epidemic whoop ing ought vaccine was given to 2.094 individuals but none was given In 937 other cases. The vaccine then used did not prove of any value o a preventive, but did make the Ill ness milder and did lower the death ratr which was only one-twelfth as great In the vaccinated group as It was in tne unvaccinated. (It Is unfortunate that the medical profession persists In calling such treatment "vaccination," for it Is not vaccination. It Is not inoculation. No disease or disease germ or virus is Injected or Inoculated. Only the onemicai suDstance of the killed bac terla Is Injected, This applies not only to whooping cough, but to diphtheria, typhoid, tuberculosis and other specific diseases In which bac teria are employed either as prophy laxis or as treatment.

In the 1629 epidemic of whooping cough in the Faroe Islands, 1,832 In dividuals were given the Bordet Gengou bacterln and 446 were not. This time the treatment prevented the development of the disease In 458 of the 1,832 individuals, whereas of the 446 Individuals who did not receive the bacterln only eight escaped the disease. This whooping-cough bacterln or "vaccine," then, offers a good chance of preventing the attack if given be fore or Immediately after exposure, and moderates the severity of the at tack if given before the whoop de velops.

Immunity Against Typhoid. .Some time ago you wrote that some people who receive the typhoid pro phylactic come down with tetanus, but this would not prevent you from taking It yourself or having it given members of your family. From this I gather that there Is some risk of tetanus when one receives the typhoid prophylactic , , , Q. I O. Answer No, you confused what I said about typhoid bacterln with what I said about vaccine. There Is no danger Involved In receiving the typhoid bacterln, and all who travel much should have the protection It confers. There Is a certain element of danger involved In being vacci nated against smallpox, for a vac cine virus, unlike typhoid bacterln, cannot be sterilized and hence acci dental infections such as tetanus (lockjaw) and septicemia (blood poi soning) are occasionally inoculated In vaccine.

And gushed from Its granite surface one of the darkest, bloodiest epochs in formative days of the nation. But there are highly comic reliefs In the stilted metier. Most conspic uous Is the placed red-bricked and and green-hedged memorial a beau tiful edifice Indeed slantwise on I prominent corner to Lydia E. Pink ham t Every square has a simple tablet proclaiming the town's nexus with history. I copied at random from a modestly painted wooden sign in the yard of an equally modest cottage: "Captain Felt lived In this house. He warned the British Captain Leslie that the North Bridge was not a King's Highway, Feb. 26, 1775." Wlhat typical New England brevity and how eloquent! But we detourned here chiefly to see "The House of Seven Cables." Hawthorne's story was a favorite of adolescence, although a reading ten years ago found It rambllngly tedious. Yet there was a perk turning down the shabby side street to see the old timbered mansion blackened by the lash of so many fierce gales. HA Mystery still shudders about its many gables. And wind becomes a ban shee waill Even tha overhanging tlnkly bell sounded when we opened the shop dooj? the same niche where the vine garish old maid, Hepxlbah Pyncheon, conducted her forlorn cent shop In the story. Outside the brooding elm, so often mentioned, spread stark branches. The shop now sells the book and mementos. A 25-cent fee per head la charged to explore the dwelling so fiction ridden with death and strange noises. We saw Hawthorne's favorite seat his desk when be visited there. The cicerone was a hawk-nosed type whose voice Intoned a rasping whine. With conical hat she might pose for an artist's conception of a witch rid ing a broom. In frigid Indifference, she pointed out the corner cupboards, the chair In the exact position when the Judge was found dead in It, pon derous oaken chests, the harpsichord upon which Hepzlbah strummed In the mellow parlor, and, of course, the seven gables. The secret stairway is the piece de resistance. Only Billy, the Boston, who would tag along, seemed unim pressed. He devoted himself to cus tomary sniffing. Entrance to the stairs Is a closet ostensibly for wood, but at the end a slide panel to the secret passage winding about the Im mense chimney. At the top a door opens by a mysterious lock ' In the fireplace of the room to be entered. Back of the house a pleasant sea- edged garden, and I confess a feeling ox relief reaching it. Salem la quite Sina&hamed of Its bedeviled era. There are Old Witch laundries, team rooms, antique shops and so on. The fact la it sprinkles the drab town with tourists. Super stition, too, has come down through the generations. Children knock on wood before crossing streets. It's grand, skipping about this way, to awaken out of a fog of sleep and try to remember where you are. But I'm smart. Today I was not half to 8 before I remembered Salem. But I wish I had thought of grabbing someone's ankle ahead and going up those secret stairs. A card If there ever was one I (Copyright, 1933, McNaught Syndi cate, Inc.) Ye Poet's Cornei Heritage.

How could they know In their prim, staid way That to sleep on a grassy knoll And glimpse one's face In a limpid pool Can grow wings on a nomad's soul. Staunchly she tried to learn their ways Of calm content until She saw the fluttering new white gown Of a wild plum tree on the hill. And on the day that a taunting breeze Brought the scent of the greening earth, Her husband foraged his evening meal And the ashes littered the hearth. The dust grew thick on floor and chair And the kettle ceased to sing While the neighbors whispered: "Blood will tell." And "One can't tame a gypsy thing."
