Another "New Deal"
HESSERS Starr end Colt are off the state board of higher
education. Mesger Keuon and Hare are on.
Governor Meier, responsible for thia shake-up on the board,
points out that his "sole nin;
been to obtain a "harmonious, efficient and fair minded ad
ministration of the institutions of higher learning, serving
alike the best interests of the college, the university, the nor
mal schools and the state."
This is what everyone in the state, sincerely interested in
education, wants. As long as Starr and Colt remained, this
was impossible. Not because these two men did not have a
similar aim, but because so much dissension has been aroused
within the board, that internal harmony had become impossible.
With new blood on the board, harmony will be possible.
The board can get off to a new start with a clean slate.
XiniAT the basis of this new start will be no one knows.
" But it is a fairly safe guess that it will represent at the
outset, a serious effort to get along under the chancellorship
of Dr. Kerr. Although Starr and Colt were strong Kerr sup
porters, their retirement will be interpreted as a concession to
the anti-Kerr members and strong pressure will be brought
to bear, to call off the effort to secure Chancellor Kerr's re
tirement, at least for the immediate present.
If this effort succeeds, well and good, for Dr. Kerr's ad
ministration can't be expected to extend very long after his
70th birthday, which according to our information has been
or soon will be, celebrated.
If it fails, then of course Chancellor Kerr's retirement will
be imperative at once. For if this removal of the pro-Kerr
members will not satisfy the anti-Kerr majority, then nothing
can or will, except the removal of Dr. Kerr from the educa
tional set-up entirely.

Essentially it is merely the theory and practice of managing

MISTER GET A PIPE
Notwithstanding all theories, ex
periments and arbitrary assertions
concerning the effects of tobacco on
health, we may
say without fear
of contradiction

nicotine or to
carbon monoxld
or to pyridine or
to ammonia or
t o other sub
stances In tobac

or to various
combinations and concentrations of
these.
Nicotine Is an alkaloid of tobac
co, Just as morphine Is an akalold
of opium and atropine Is an alkal
oid of belladonna (deadly nlght
shsde). Contrary to popular fancy, pure
nicotine Is a colorless liquid which
turns brown only on exposure to the
air. Crude nicotine solutions are
yellowish or brown, and are com
monly used In sprays to destroy
plant lice. Recently an Interesting
case of poisoning by .nicotine was
reported a greenhouse workman who
sat on a bench on which some of
the crude spray had been spilled.
He continued his work, but In fit
teen minutes began to get faint,
nauseated, vomited and broke Into
a cold sweat (painful reminder of
that first cigar); Doctor reporting
the cose "established" that the nico
tine had been absorbed through the
skin, by a funny experiment: shaved
the hair from the ekln of a cat, then
applied some nicotine and covered it
over with something to prevent the
fumes from escaping. The cat was
poisoned, ej. b. D. to the credul
ous the poison was absorbed
through the skin. A "scientist" who
could indulge In such slipshod work
and loose thinking would probably
nick the cat's skin In several places
shaving and so open up channels for
arjsorpuon or nicotine.

to conceal their Ignorance about the

Reminiscences and Impressions
Cuba and Cubans
Having noted recent editorials In
the Mall Tribune regarding the .dis
turbed conditions In Cuba and' the
interest and responsibilities of the
United States In that Island, I am
moved to write on the subject.
As a lieutenant and captain, I serv
ed In Cuba In the 3nd and 7th
(Ouster) Regiments of U. S. cavnlry
from February, 1809 to May, 1003, ex
cept for a period of about four
months. In the and, I was In com
mand of a troop of which Herbert
W. Sargent, later well known In Mcd
ford, was the captain. He was then
on duty In the Philippines. I was
stationed at Clenfuegos, Santa Clara,
Cardenas, Matanzas and Columbia
Barracks near Havana, with short
stays at other places.
Although I have not seen Cuba for
more than thirty years, which Is a
long lime In the life of a man, but
not so long In the history of a people
or an Island. I feel that I have still
rome knowledge of Cuba and Cubans.
I remained at Santa Clara fourteen
months, which was longer thnn I was
at any of my other Cuban stations.
The town had a hotel and I and some
other U. S. army officers lived In It.
The census taken while I was there
with the supervision and help of rep
resentatives of the U. 8. Census
Bureau reported the population of
Santa Clara a a little more than our
last count gave Medford. At that
station the official and social re
lations between our army officers and
their families and the Cuban people
were always most harmonious and
pleasant. Santa Clara was the home
town of Jose Miguel Gomez and Oer
ado Machado, both of whom after
ward became president of Cuba.
Machado has lately received plenty of
newspaper attention In the United
States and was mentioned In Mall
Tribune editorials. , I did not per
sonally know him well, but I do still
remember finding the engraved call
ing card of VGerado Machadyo
Morales," which had been left at my
hotel room. Other U. 8. army officers
were better acquainted with him than
I was and I know that they reipect
ed and esteemed him. My opinion
waa then that he was one of the best
and most capable public men In
Cuba. I am not aure that I have
changed that opinion yet. It may
be that as president of his country
he has shown up some fallings, state
ment are that he has, but It may
also be that plenty of othera of It
leaders or would be leaders are none
loo much better. I suspect that one
of his worst offenses was final lack
of success.
Whst I the matter with Cuba?
Why la It that the Cubans do not
cet behind some president and settle
town?
To fully answer these questions
would perhaps be a fit Job for a
statesman. To construct a nation the

QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS
What, Another Rib?
For several months, nearly every
night. I awake and find my left hand
and arm numb .... two doctors said
It was Just nerve . , , I eat large
quantities of lettuce and tomatoes
Just because I like them, also drink
unsweetened lemon Juice and water
before breakfast every morning.
Would these have anything to do
with It? Have heard there Is ar
senic In lettuce . . . (D. A. T.)
Answer aucb disturbance may be
due to a cervical rib, that Is, a rud
imentary rib growing In the neck
above the first rrb. The wholesome
foods you mention would not cause
trouble. But arsenic In Insecticide
sprays used on the tomatoes or let
tuce might cause chronic arsenic
poisoning, which might account for
the numbness. The doctors who said
"Just nerves" merely confessed their
Incompetence. Examination would
determine whether there Is a cervical
rib. A clinical test would determine
whether there Is arsenlo poisoning.
Color Blindness
I there any cure for color blind
ness? My son wishes to Join the
navy but has trouble distinguishing

the average citizen of our country
seldom stops to realize that Cuba Is
peopled by quite a different race from
the United 8tates. Hore we have long
trachtlons among the common people
of self government and public re
sponsibility. Not so of the latin races
from whom most of the white blood
of Cuba has been derived. Slavery
left Its blight there and a consider
able percentage of the population Is
of Afrlcsn descent. I recall suggest
ions made thirty years ago to the
effect that the number and propor
tion of negroes and mulattoea were
really higher than census figures
stated. My experience and observa
tlon led me to think that the beet
element among the Cuban was the
Spanish but that In general the long

The most prosperous, well manag

place great reliance on large and

The controlling force In the state
legislature Is the Multnomah dele
gation led by Frank Lonergan, a le
gal minded Individual. These gentle
men are mostly "repeaters," of the
old school. Politicians playing the old
game In the old way. Delegations from
adjacent counties "string along,'
with them, all constitutionally of the
"It can't be done" type. A legal mind

We have a poor crew to undertake
adventure on the new seas we must

Our delegation last winter pretty
well sold our Idea of a sales tax for
shelter tax exempsbn to Governor
Meier and to the delegations outside
of the Influence of the Portland bloc,
but these gentlemen said "thumbs
down" and that finished It. Then a
ssles tax scheme was concocted by
them with the help of Galloway,
chairman of the state tax commis
sion, which was not a fair and Just
tax so waa defeated. The individuals
who were to pay this tax were to get
nttie direct benefit or tax relief from
it. A sales tax Is only a fair and Just
tax when the families who pay it get
a full credit from it through cancel
lation of direct taxes imposed upon
them. So we come to our present
trouble. The sales tax offered as a
remedy by the last legislature could
not be defended when submitted to
the people. If shelter had been ex
empted from taxation and- a sales
tax offered as an offset, then it
could have been defended and would
have been approved by the voters of
the state when they once understood
it.
