But so few politicians ever think so. We have just been reading the Congressional Record of January 11th, containing the debate on the gag rule recently adopted in the House. It covers nearly 30 full pages, and yet in 'all that blather we fail to find a single parenthetical note of (laughter). Applause is scattered through that voluminous record liber ally, but never the hint of a smile. How do they do itt How can those congressmen, particularly the older ones, take them selves so seriously! Perhaps part of the answer is that if congressmen don't take themselves seriously, no one else will. TPHE gag rule in question was a REAL one. Were Uncle Joe Cannon alive it would convince that veteran dictator that he had passed out of the picture a decade too soon. For nothing could convince him the "good old days" had not returned. Yet the party in power, the party of Thomas Jefefson, the party of popular rule, the party of open covenants openly ar rived at, fought for that air-tight muzzle on free parliamentary action, as passionately as the the Holy Grail. THE comedy of the situation rested in the fact that the tradi tional roles of the two rrmior nartiea werA COMPLETELY reversed, and no one on either or the good sense to comment All the speakers delivered their oratorical efforts in the most serious, stately and declamatory ers urging the adoption of the the greatest president since Jefferson; the Republicans opposing it, on the ground of liberty, freedom, and the sacred rights of the minority. Anyone with a file of Congressional Records, could point to speeches delivered in the past, by Democrats, perhaps by the same men identical in spirit and principle with those deliv ered by Republicans in this debate, and vice versa. 'TWERE was Snell of New York, for example, the ultra con- servative G. 0. P. leader, tices of Cannon and Longworth', with all the fire and fervor of a "Sockless Simpson"; and Democratic war horses like Byrnes and Bankhead, upholding those principles, extolling the virtue of silencing debate and crushing all opposition, in the sacred name of loyalty, patriotism, AND party regularity 1 CCORDING to every fundamental principle of a free gov ernment, and democratio institutions, this gag rule was wrong in fact, OUTRAGEOUS. Its passage reduced the mem bership of tho.-Lower House, to a pitiful group of futile and pusillanimous rubber-stamps. But there is nothing new in that. It is a way parliamen tary majorities have or at least HAVE had, in this country. Except for a brief interval following the downfall of Speaker Cannon, similar gag rules have been adopted by the party in I power, wnencver mo leaders uecmea it advisable. And then the men who are They Made a IT would be hardly fair to leave the matter there. For we will say this for the Democrats they made a better fight for political freedom and fair play, than the Republican major ity did, a few years ago. The Democrats have a working majority of about 200 in the Lower House. One of the strongest arguments against this gag rule, was that the party in power didn't NEED it. Tho final vote was yea 197. nay 192, with 41 prudently retiring to the clonk room, or staying tucked in their beds, under doctor's orders. Thus in round numbers a majority of 200 was reduced to 5, or at the outside to 46. . , ' That was a close squeak for Czaristio methods! A LSO the best speeches against the overthrow of popular government were made by Democrats. Here is. a part of tho speech delivered by Congressman Knute Hill of Washington we judge a descendant of the early Vik ings: Tha minority alwaya hu rights which should ba protected. Not only the minority party but the minority within the Demo cratic party. I believe It waa the great Frenchman, Voltaire, who aald to one of hla opponent. "I WHOLLY DISAORKE WITH What YOU SAY BUT WILL DEFEND WITH MY LIFE YOUR RIOHT TO BAY IT." The present leaders Insisted on the rtghta of minorities. for years. They fought for them. They have been eloquent In their Insistence that they should be heard on every question. Read the Record for the Seventy -second oongresa. Listen to our eloquent floor leader only on the opening day of thin seMion January S: There ls'no disposition to prevent any member of the House from having every opportunity to discuss any question that he may desire during this session, and my objection doea not go to . that extent. If I can bring It about, every gentleman upon both sides of the House will have the fullest opportutty to dis cuss any question that Is relevant to any matter that la before the House, and at the very earliest opportunity." How does this promise by the floor leader on the Srd comport with hla etand thla afternoon? Why this draatlo change on the part of the leadera now when they are In tha majority!1 Do they for a moment think that tha great electorate throughout the United States will approve such a course? If so. they are greatly mistaken end had better keep In closer touch with the people back home who are taking far more Interest In legislation and methods of procedure than ever before. All of these "gag" rulea are unnecessary. We have an over whelming majority in thla House. We have all come here to enact constructive and beneficial legislation. We are all willing and anxious to follow the leadership of President Roosevelt, be llevtng in hla splendid vision and his courage. I resent the atatement made here that we are against the president, I spent three months of my time this summer In going about my district urging people to stand back of him In hla N RA. program, be cause I heartily believe In It and want tha main features of It to . become permanent. Aa to the leadership In this HMise, we will gladly follow It when It la reasonable. But a considerable number of us who will gladly follow wise leaderahlp absolutely refuse to be blindly driven by autocratic bosses. We demand a pert In the consid eration, the discussion, and tha reshaping, where neceasary, of proposed legislation. If our leaden or their leadership la ao weak that they cannot hold our 200 majority in line with a "gag" rule may I respectfully submit that they resign and give somebody a chance who can hold ua In line.

SALMON OIL INSTEAD OF CODLIVER OIL It la now a widely popular practice1 to give every baby from a month to a year old a dally ration of cod liver oil, t o promote healthful growth, and t o prevent rickets, also to help vie baby develop normal immunity against respiratory Infection. Thla lat ter purpose Is only theoretical; we do not know definite ly whether the vi tamin A in cod liver oil Is essen tial in the development or immunity. But the value of vitamin D, a In cod liver oil and In fresh milk, cream, butter and egg yolk, for promoting growth and preventing rlckeU, Is well known; The month-old baby should re ceive, say five drops of cod liver oil twice a day, after regular feeding. The ration should be Increased to 10 drops at the age of 2 months, 30 drops at 3 months, a teaspoon ful twice a day at 4 months, and then ordinarily a teaspoonful twice a day until the end of the first year. After that no cod liver oil Is necessary, for the older baby should get his vitamins from milk, eggs, butter, etc. Only when the doctor prescribes It for some particular condition should cod liver oil or any substitute for It be given to children over a year of age. When It comes to procuring the cod liver oil, I should prefer plain crude cod liver oil of no particular brand, but a grade a reliable druggist sells In bulk. This Is avlalable at reason able cost and I believe It Is the best. I do not recommend any substitute for plain rod liver oil. In some in stances where an older child has great repugnance for the plain oil the child will readily talce a mixture of cod liver oil. and malt syrup, so called extract of malt, about equal parts. There are various preparations of this character, on the market, if your druggist is too dumb and In competent to mix them or to sell the two Items separately so you can mix them yourself. Lately It has been found that hali but liver oil Is as good If not better than cod liver oil, but I am afraid the sharks have control of this and the price la artificially maintained. Salmon oil, according to exhaustive tests made by experts of the U. S. Children's Bureau, Bureau of Chem- Usry and Soils, and Yale University medical school, Is as good or better than cod liver oil, and, besides, chil dren take It quite readily.

Besides being an excellent source of the vitamins, salmon oil seems to be an easily digested and well toler ated fat, and if it tastes anything like as good as the cheapest grade of canned salmon a good grocer sejls, the youngsters who get salmon oil instead of cod Uver oil are in luck. HKTIONS AND ANSWERS How a Person Drowns 1. Does water enter the stomach or .the lungs when a person is drown In? Do your pores open and close? (Miss R. E.) Answer. 1 . in the struggle the drowning person usually swallows considerable water. In some cases of drowning very little water is found In the lungs. Probably a gulp of water "goes down the wrong way" and occludes a bronchial tube or the windpipe and atelectasis results that la a collapse of the lung. This may happen from mere spasm of the larynx from fright and the choking Induced by the entrance of a little water Into the larynx. 2. There are no pores In the skin. A pore Is an opening through which something Is absorbed. Hating t'l.eiuk'iii Preservative What Is the effec'v of benzoate of sodo on the system?

In dashing courageously ahead you claim President Roosevelt is Justified because the public are behind him.

But they were In a worse one berore the Ink on their j ballots was dry. Then again, they , supported a man who would reduce ! the tariff and they got Inflation In stead. Ha! ha! About the time the NRA waa being tried on, we read an editorial in tne Morning Orcgonian of August 18. entitled "Joshing the Blue Eagle." It stated In substance that If the NRA was peddled to the public the press of the land would do the trick. Of course, this may be truth and again It may be poetry. We only know what we read.

Remember, they may have been quite as industrious and thrifty a you, and are perhaps your equal socially and intellectually. Try to imagine the depths of their feeling of fu tility and failure. Borne of them have not attended a show In a year, two years. What to do about It? This: Let theater tickets be placed at relief .headquarters and given out with relief supplies to the unem ployed. If our theater managers could feel the great need of these -unfortunate souls for a little real relaxa tion and fun would contribute 10, 20 or 30 tlcketa for each show they would be rendering a high service to their community that would be aa "bread upon the water" later.
