Ye Smudge Pot By Arthui Perry The up has started to rise again In valley agitating circles, and the theme song will be: I'm Headed For One Mora Round-up. ... Whistle-wetting concoctlona ara moderately plentltful. but costly. Some of It la bottle-ln-bond, and om la bottled-ln-barn. . Prom the point of view of aoclal behavior there la an even stronger claim for the ant to be regarded aa more advanced than man, (Salem Capital-Journal.) The Lord of Crea tion geta a well deserved alap on the wrist. v.. tndimt.rv is renorted aa "revising the easy payment plan, ao buyers can more readily take advan ta att nf it." The trouble with the Easy Payment plan has been, not with the readiness with which the buyer took advantage of It, but the readiness with which the auto waa take back, If the payment were not prompt. The term "Easy Payment" la not truthful. Most of the Easy Pay ment were Tough Payments. HOW TIMES CHANGE! (Pendleton East Oregonlan) Of late there has been much atrong criticism of our criminal courts and of our criminal proce dure. That much of this la mer ited all men agree, (SO Yra. Ago col.) There Is one drawback to the pro posal to establish a linen factory In the Willamette valley. It will be financed by federal funds, eo the Portland politicians and Willamette valley Popullate, will not be able to Indulge In their favorite sport of chasing capital out of Oregon. Hunters are so scarce In rural areas, that country calves are becoming adept at ducking stray bullets. The poatofflce Is expected to be shoved In a Democratic sock by Christmas. The Job besides drawing pay consists of counting the stamps, and reading the postcards. The ap pointee must take an oath to deliver Republicans' letters from the grocer, and their womenfolks s promptly aa they do eplstlea to Democrats, from similar sources. There are more Democrats than postofflcea. The post master must be a true blue Democrat the bluer the better. Just being mad at Hoover, la no requirement. The winner must prove that he was also msd at Coolldge, Harding, Taft, and Benjamin Harrison. Anyway the selection of Columbia by Stanford, for the Rose Bowl game, took the public mind oft that other California atrocity the Bart Jose lynching. 9 Pesrs that the legislature would do aomethlng. In a business-like and common sense manner have proven mora groundless than usual. At the start of the current tomfollery your eorr. alleged, among other things, that "a bunch of 13 year old boya would do a better Job." Thla roused the esteemed Bslem 6tatsmsn, and It rushed fearlessly to the rescue of the eolons. An apology was suggested, and It waa charged the legislature was abused, by writers who wrote be fore they thought. In the light of events, the 13-year-old boya alone de serve an apology. The same la ex tended them for the gross alsnder. The IJtatesmsn la 7ft years or more of sge, and still has faith In legisla ture The legislature should pass a law prohibiting them from longer re taining thla faith. He Can't Take It This new generation, for example, la not content with preachings against that Til form of collective murder lynch law which ha broken out In our midst anew. We know that It la murder and a deliberate and definite disobedience of the . commandment, Thou Shalt not kill.' We do not excuse those In high places or In low who condone lynch law. "But a thinking America goes further. It seeks a government of its own that will b sufficiently strong to protect the prisoner and at the same time to crya tails a public opinion ao dear that governments of all kinds will be compelled to practice a mora certain Justice. The Judlolsl function of government 1 the pro tection of the Individual and of the community through quick and certain Justice. That function In many places hss fallen Into a sad state of disrepair. It must be a part of our program to re-establish It." . , The above it an extract from the radio speech delivered Wednesday night by President Roosevelt before the Federal Council of Churob.es, meeting In Washingtop, D. C. Less than 24 hours later, a mob in Texas, dragged a dying negro from a local sheriff, burned the body after hideously mutilating it, and served notice on the world that lynch law still reigns below the Mason and Dixon line. Does Governor Rolph approve of this action! Would he call it a "good job!" Would he suggest that the jails and penitent aries in Texas be combed for other negro suspects of murder, and their fate be left to the "good oitizens" of this Texas town! PROBABLY not At least Governor Rolph does not resent or criticize the president's condemnation of lynch law, altho he did resent and criticize a similar condemnation from former President Hoover. He says he knows anything President Roose velt says "comes from his heart after the deepest consideration" and he refuses to be drawn into any controversy with him. Why NOT! Governor Rolph said ONE thing. President Roosevelt says ANOTHER. Had the president of the United States mentioned the governor of California by name, he could not have taken direct issue with him, more emphatically or ex plicitly than he did. When a former president, Herbert Hoover, took the identical stand President Roosevelt takes, Governor Rolph came back at him with some slurring remark about the bonus marchers, and justified his stand, by maintaining it prevented bloodshed. Why does the governor of California make no defense now! The answer of course is obvious. Former President Hoover is not generally popular and is inept in public controversy. Presi dent Roosevelt is very popular, and can cross lances with the best of them. SUNNY JIM knows when he has had enough. It was easy to place the stamp of official approval upon lynch law when the cheers of the mob were with him, but when those cheers had j died down, and the inevitable reaction has set in, followed by the president of the United States unequivocally upholding law and order, Governor Rolph decided characteristically, that beat ing a haty retreBt would be the better part of valor. Yet if what the president said Thursday night is RIGHT, what the governor of California said the day after the San Jose lynching is WRONG. . Did some one say that in that statement Governor Rolph I .1.....J of 1abd4 It ItaA t1a .nii.nna n'liia AAnviiifinnil Where, oh where is the courage of his convictions now I They Must SeeJ WE refer to this Rolph incident again, not from any desire to rub it in the governor of California has been suffici ently discredited to satisfy even his most pitiless enemies, but to try to make it clear even to those who in their hearts upheld his action that such approval from men in publio life, never can be, and never should be, justified. For such approval furnishes a precedent, which can't fail to be hideously destructive, in its ultimate consequences. Once let our recognized rulers justify mob action in one instance, and human nature is such they can't successfully condemn mob action in another. With the sanction of mob violence the bars are down. With the admission that the people are justified in defying the courts and overthrowing the law, in one state; that admission can't be denied, in ANOTHER. There is then no restraint, no law, but the law of the tooth and the claw, no logical or ultimate out come, but the return to the jungle. As Walter Lippman has so well said, "the struggle against lawlessness is the struggle for civilization itself." It is the herculean effort to bring under control the persis tently primitive nature of men, their greed and Inst and animal violence, so that their energies shall not destroy them. e e IT is this principle that not only all men in publio life, but all right thinking men and women, should fight, day in and day out to SUSTAIN. For if it is NOT sustained, then certainly what we call civilization perishes. The way out is not to condone lynch law or lawlessness, but aa a people to get behind legal and court reform, and make it what it should be an effective bar to crime, through prompt and certain justice, instead of what it is today, virtually a farce and an encouragement. When THAT is done, then except where racial hates rule, hates too elemental and strong for any law to completely ourb, lynch law will die out, and there will be no more thought of its revival, than the revival of the Btake and the thumb screw.

WITH national prohibition offic ially desd, and with state erery whr considering legislation for the control of the liquor traffic Presi dent Roosevelt Issues an appeal for temperance.

Th peareat approach to It te th a,v ytf At first blush It might seem that a health teacher Is a bit outside of his provlnc talking about character, but after all characetr la de termined largely by health; all the teachings of hy giene or rules of health are con slstent with and the study ot and obedience to them la conduc ive to good mor ale aa well aa good health. It la a well recognized faot that th cultivation of bad habits is not only due to weak will, lack of character, but also tends to weaken the will and oharaeter. It la a vlcloue circle. This la the reason why all teachers, whether their "concern Is the mind, the body or the soul, make such a point of pledging the boy or girl against the first cigarette or the first drink. There hss never been time when parents, teachers or others who hsve any influence over ohll- dren could do more good than they can rlitht now by exacting such pledges from every child. By child I mean any Individual who has not yet attained full adult development and presumably adult independence, Many children do not attain euch In dependence much before the age of 36 years. One of 'the saddest spec tacles in life Is the youth who smokes, drinks, gambles and entertains wild women at the expense of the fools who support him. practice of good common sense by each Individual. AA A HEADLINE aays: "Armed Men J Burn Ballots In Louisiana." They were protesting, or at least professed to be, against the politics) methods of Senator Huey Long, and they may have been Justified In their Indignation. Thla writer Isn't much of an admirer ot Huey Long, either. But listen: They would get farther. In the long run, If Instead of burning ballots they would go to the poll and vote their honest convictions. Lawless violence ISN'T the wsy to cur the things that ara wrong In thla country. SPEAKING ot thlnga that are wrong. W. W. Aldrlch. president of the Chase National Bank, of New York, one of the world'a biggest pri vate banks, says the new securities act and uncertainty over the future value of the dollar are what Is chiefly wrong with business. Another thing that la radically wrong, we are pretty aure out In this country, la that the public has lost confldenc In th big New York bankers. THE new securities act, Wall Street claims, makea It .harder tor big concerns to borrow money by means of stock and bond sales. Uncertainty over the future value of the dollar makes people who hsve money to lend hesitant about loaning It, because they don't know what kind of dollara they will be PAID BACK In. INCIDENTALLY, we sre all cussing the banks because they won't lend enough money. But don't forget this: The bsnks loan OTHER PEOPLES MONEY your and mine, along with the rest, If we have any. Before they make a loan, they must be reasonably sure that the borrower will be able to PAY IT BACK. That la the Important thing In loaning money. SUPPOSE you had a thousand dol lars. Just how, In these dsys, would you set about loaning It with REASONABLB CERTAINTY that It would be paid back? 1 Profits are necessary tor th re payment of loans, and profit haven't begun to materialise to any consider able extent, as yet. Everyone knows that th breaking of a habit which proves Injurious or which handicap th Individual In any way require an effort of will. and often th victim needs the help of others In his fight against the habit; especially th moral support and encouragement other persons may give him. Were It not for physios no one would have the constipation habit. Were It not for physics there would be no such difficulty to contend with. Were It not for physics, an occasional delay of a day or a week In the func tion would cause no trouble whatever. It Is the Interference that doea all the harm that, and th false no tion that by resorting to salts, laxa tive drugs, enemas and the like, one can readjust or regulate a mechanism that has been deranged by wrong liv ing. Man la the prize fool of the unl verse about this. Other animals, even In csptlvlty or In servloe to men, never have euch trouble unless their Idiotic masters choose to impose the evils of physics upon them. Any victim of the constipation habit who hopes to break the habit needs the assurance which only knowledge of the physiology of the subject gives. I have struggled long with the problem of how to teach this physiology to th wiseacre pop ulation, and like the mountain that labored I have brought forth a wee little booklet which, I think, contains all the assurance the victim requires to overcome his habit. Send a 'dime (not stamps) and a atamped envelope bearing your address, and ask for the booklet "Th Constipation Habit." When you receive the booklet read It over, not Just hurriedly, but lei surely and thoughtfuUy. If you come upon anything you don't savvy, take it up with me by letter and we'll try to smooth out the path for you that Is, If you axe sincere about It. Don't start any atrlkes or anything like that until you are sure you're right. Then go ahead, and le'me have the good word when you've won your victory. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SUverflsh.

Laboratory investigations show that it supplies "bulk" to ex ercise the intestines; and vitamin B to promote appetite, and help tone the intestinal tract. These two Important food-elements aid regular habits, and help do away with the headaches, loss of appetite and energy, so often the result of constipation. The "bulk" in All-Bran is mild in action much like that of let tuce. Inside the body, it forms a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. Isnt this pleasant "cereal way" far more healthful than using pills snd drugs so often habit-forming I Just eat two tablespoonfuls of Kellogg's daily enough for most types of constipation. If not re lieved this way, see your doctor. Besides, All-Bran brings your body twice as much blood-building iron as an equal amount by weight of beef liver. Special cooking processes make All-Bran finer, softer, more palat able. Equally tasty as a cereal, or used in cooking. Recipes on the rcd-and-green package. Sold by all grocers.
