"The freedom of the press" has
again caught lte tall in the door. An
East Portland editor alleged the
Portland underworld paid the ex
penses of the Portland mayor'a trip
to China a year ago. Neither the
mayor, nor hla friend viewed the
lie aa a cute Joke, so the editor was
promptly indicted.. The scribe dis
appeared, as if by magic, and at last
reports was still invisible. This is
a neat way to curb liars with lead
pencils, though when they get out
they can attack the way the warden
managed the penitentiary. It Is not
known where the mayor of Portland
got the Idea that a professional per
jurer with a printing press should be
checked before he had Indulged in
20 years of unrestricted mud-sllnglng.
The Republican party Is worrying
about who will be "its presidential
nominee In 1038 " This is slightly
premature, and besides the tall-end
of the depression Is no time to start
worrying about something new, lr
revelant and Immaterial.

In thla state, and the Chamber of
Commerce of the metropolis, which is
not bothered much by coyotes, rushes
to the rescue. This attitude is putv

Democrats, In normal years. By ap
pointing three Democrats to catch
one coyote, the public trough would
have to be lengthened for the "deserv

plan. Every time a coyote howled,
the appointees would have to come
to town and make three Democratic
speeches.

Roosevelt Starts After Crime
XTTE have heard a great deal about money recently. Well
speaking of MONEY, how much do you think organized
crime cosls this country annually I
$12,933,000,000!
Senator Copeland of Xew York is authority for that state
ment. It isn't a guess. It is a total compiled from insurance
statistics, vital statistics, state, city and federal reports.
Twelve billion, nine hundred and thirty-three million! Over!
a BILLION dollars a month. It isn't a temporary or emergency
expense. It is a regular routine expense, going on all the time.
If all the criminals in this country could be herded together
and thrown into the Pacific ocean tomorrow, this country, with
out levying another tax, could pay off its huge national debt in
considerably less than two and one-half years.
But, of course, Uiis can't be done. Crime has always been
with us. Crime always will be at least until the millcnium
which appears at this date to be several years away. But it
CAN be checked. It can be materially reduced. And Uncle
Sam has started out to do it.
are glad to state that the first comprehensive measure
to combat organized crime, has been introduced into the
senate by Senator Copeland, and has the administration's hearty
support.
The first move will be to check racketeering. Some idea of
the cost of racketeering may be gleaned from the fact that it
costs $321 to ship a carload of poultry from Iowa to Jersey City.
Thanks to the racketeer it costs $387 to unload that car and
ship the chickens a stone's throw across the Hudson river to
New York! The racketeer boss gets that. '
The second big drive will be against the kidnapper. And the
third against the gunman, the holdup man, the organized gun
toters in this country.
CO that Uncle Sam may get on the kidnapper's trail without
too great delay, it is proposed to pass a law that in the
absence of the return of a person who has disappeared, it shall
be presumed that such person has been transported in interstate
or foreign commerce.
To check up gun toters a most elaborate system of control
of all manufacture and retail sale of guns and ammunition is
proposed. Every bullet is to be finger marked, as it were. No
ono can purchase a gun, except by an official permit, which
identifies the purchaser as a citizen of good reputation, and
with no criminal record of any sort.
' To render conviction of dangerous gangsters less difficult,
for any witness of a crime to flee to another state is made a
felony. The great difficulty in convicting criminals has been
tlw sudden disappearance, just preceding the trial, of important
witnesses for the state. '
There is also a provision to stop the abuses by criminals of
the habeas corpus, abolishing the right of afipcal, in all eases
where a writ of habeas corpus has been granted. That is to say
the accused has just ONE chance of habeas corpus, he can't
call it up for the rest of his life.
A GAIN strict supervision of every convicted person granted
a parole is established, and the rules for paroio are clamp
ed down. Even more important is a blow directed at the
"alibi" racket. Criminal lawyers lire forever springing alibis
at the last moment, too late for the state to preparo evidence
against them.
Under this new law it is proposed that an alibi shall not be
interposed unless notico of intention to do so, is given at the
TIME tho accused is arraigned for trial. In that way the prose
cutor may be prepared to combat it.
There are a great many other provisions, too numerous to
mention. But all of them represent an earnest desire to get at
tlie root of this crime wave, and as far a it is humanly possible,
crush a lawless warfare against society which is costing tho
people of this lountry, nearly 13 billions of dollars a year I

Day's News
THE RIGHT DOSE OF ANTITOXIN IS A IIEROTIC DOES
I killed a woman once, not with
premeditation nor through negligence
or mistake, but by accident, while I
was trying to
s&ve or prolong
her life. Through
accident, again, I
was probably re
sponsible for the
death of a beau
tiful child, whose
life I was trying
to prolong. Nevor
mind the techni-
cal details. Of
course I regretted
both accidents,
but I never lost
any sleep worry
ing about them
Z saw a sweet little four-year-old
child sink down to death from poison
while I withheld the antidote I had
In my hands and argued and pleaded
with her Ignorant parents to permit
me to administer the antidote, when
I realized that the parents were de
term in ed to let the child die rather
than give her the antidote I Insisted
on having another doctor called In.
The doctor who lived In the neigh
borhood was nqt at home, so we had
to have a doctor from an Institu
tion, a prison. He had never engag
ed in private practice and had never
attended a sick child. His uncer
tainty and vacillation about the giv
ing of the antidote a few hours later
the child succumbed. The poison was
diphtheria, the antidote was anti
toxin. I have lost many hours of
sleep thinking about that case, won
dering whether It was not my duty
as a true physician to land one on
the father's jaw and administer the
antitoxin before he recovered from
his astonishment, or perhaps to sum
mon a cop whose heart, was In the
right place and have him arrest the
father on a charge of Intent to mur
der or something like that.
Dr. B. B. Yodh reported 229 cases
of tetanus lockjaw) In the British
Medical Journal a year ago. Four
teen of the patients received no anti
toxin or anti-tetanus serum. At that,
two of them, with very mild symp
toms, recovered. The rest of the cases
were divided into two groups. Ono
group of 103 patients received from
30.000 to 40,000 units of antitoxin in
travenously and Intramuscularly; 36
of those recovered and 60 died. An
other group of. 112 patients received
the antitoxin dtroctly Into the "cis
tern," that ts, a space In the brain,
the dose being Injected through che
Junction of spine and base of skull;
59 of these patients recovered and 53
died.
Ordinarily, the victim of tetanus
has a very slim chance to get well.
People often have some vague Im
pression that diphtheria antitoxin Is
dangerous or poisonous In Itself and
hence that the less tho patient gets
the better. This Is a tragic error. I
am well aware that certain individ
uals who happen to be sensitized or
hypersensitive (allergic) react with
unpleasant symptoms, occasionally
with fatal allergic shock, when they
receive even the smallest Injection of
antitoxin. Yet I know that this ex
ceptional sensitivity can be prede
term In ed by administering first only
a drop of antitoxin and waiting
reasonable time, say a half hour, to
see whether there la any unpleasant
reaction.
In any case. If we are going to use
antitoxin at all, the larger the dose
the better, and If by any chance we
happen to give more in the first dose
than Is needed to neutralise the toxin
that has already formed in the blood.
that a a happy ending.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Exercise and Digestion.
Please advise whether It is wise for
us (wife and self) to do our six miles
on the hoof in the evening after din
ner? We like to walk every day, but
this Is the only time we can walk to
gether. Has It any detrimental effect
on digestion? C. A. M.
Answer It rather promotes good
digestion. Vigorous exercise such as
running, swimming, tennis, baseball,
Immediately after a meal Is unwise,
for it delays digestion. But mild ac
tivity such as a stroll or a six-mile
walk If you are accustomed to walk
ing, has been found to favor normal
digestion or at least not to Inhibit It.
Soft Spots.
Is there any danger of Injuring a
baby mentally through pressure on
the soft spot in her head? I took our
1 6-weeks-old baby to the doctor and
asked him how to remove mill crust
from her head. He removed them and
I thought made unnecessary pressure,
on the soft spot. He laughed when,
I cautioned him . . . Mrs. G. J. E.
Answer No danger of such injury.
The smaller soft spot on back of
head closes, becomes filled with bone,
when the baby Is three months old.
The larger, on top of the head, closes!

PAUL MALLON, whose Washington
dispatches appear dally In this
newspaper, says:
"Close observers have figured out
what la In front of President Roose
velt's eye now Is a projeot of pour
ing billions of government money
Into the hands of the people to ac
compli the same objects his other
experiments failed to produce
higher price levels and renewed busi
ness activity. He is using relief as a
vehicle for stimulation.'
THAT Is to say, he proposes to bor
row money from those who have
It and spend It with those who
HAVENT, his purpose being to put
Idle money to work and thus stimu
late business activity.
IT IS a big project so big that Us
very vaatness makes it hard to
grasp. So let's see if we can reduce
it to simpler terms, so that we may
understand better ,how it works. '
1IITH this idea In mind, let us sup-
vV pose that A, B, C, D, E, P and
O live In the same Isolated community.
A, let us now suppose, Is a man of
unquestioned ability and Integrity,
in whom everybody has confidence.
B has $100, which he Is afraid to lend
for fear he won't get It back. C has
100 bushels of potatoes, which he
can't sell because not enough people
have the money with which to buy
them. D, E. F and G need potatoes
with which to feed their families,
but can't buy them because they have
no money and no Jobs.
It will be apparent that In such a
situation business In the community
would be pretty much at a standstill.

The best place of all to watch the

that Arthur Gordon Perry, columnist

A DULL looking piceo of milky qunr'tz was found in South

There was no gold in it, no platinum, nothing of value in fact.

And while the diamond market isn't so hot these days, that

writes a correspondent whose pseu
donym Is "Constant Reader," and who
anxiously forbids the publication of
her letter, then surely there must
be a dryad In the madrona. And it
Is such a nice letter, too. However.
there Is no least harm In presenting
her dryad ic fancy or theory as a con
tribution to the mild excitements of
the dryad hunt that, to the present.
I has been dolorously unproductive of
brown, ethereal maidens.
For. look you says ahe is not the
madrona the very residence for a
dryad? The almost Incomparable
smoothness of reddish-golden bark,
forever renewed, which Is to the hand
as a loved cheek might be. the glossy

lifted, curving branches, the quite
evident joyousnees and contentment

the madrona wears theje indicate a
spiritual essence that can have no
