Fire in a little Maine town brought
a tragic climax to another of those
pathetic marathon da noes, Some
thing unpleasant has happened in
nearly all of them, although usually
the major trouble has been financial,

Tlrtors and vanquished alike were left
sunk In misery and disappointment.
The deaths at Hampden take on
peculiar sadness under the circum
stances. Here was an Isolated New England
Tillage, with few amunementa at best
and already ahut in by winter, to
which the contest offered a glorious
srap from drab Uvea that promised
little of glamour or even such fame
as a rural couple might achieve in
one of these shuffling matches, Por
five weeks the contestants had had
to right for a doubtful privilege,
gaining reluctant consent from the
town selectmen and, later, being
forced to impend activities on Sun
days. Then came the bllrmrd, the
fire and the tragedies.
Marathon dancing is another- of
those things we blame on the war,

required trained athletes, but the

The Knox Law Decision
"PHE upholding of the Knox Liquor Control bill, is in accord-
ance with common sense.
Not only the intent of the legislature,' but the desire of the
jeople of the state, was for an entirely new deal in the matter
of liquor regulation.
The measure provided that all existing statutes contrary to
its provisions, should, with the bill's enactment, be repealed.
The argument that the home
repealed by legislative enactment, but had to await a vote of
the people, may have had some legalistic basis, but to follow
such a line of reasoning would have thrown the entire liquor
problem into confusion worse confounded, from which it would
have taken the people of the state months to extricate them
selves. Under such circumstances the rule of reason should prevail.
What the people want, and what is plainly in the interest of the
publio welfare should be given first consideration, and this
was undoubtedly the basis of Judge Lewelling's decision, altho
technically, Btate control over the police power, was the koynote
of his ruling.
TPHE case will now be taken to the state supreme court, with
more money spent and more time wasted.
Undoubtedly the samo considerations which led the circuit
court to uph61d the new law, will lead the state supreme court,
to the same decision.
Give the new law a fair trial, that is the common sense of
the situation.
But politicians who want to get in the limelight, and lawyers
who want to get big fees, are seldom concerned with common
sense, or whether the net results of their efforts arc in harmony
with or contrary to, the public welfare.
Is the King Fish Hooked?
SO Huey Long the "King Fish", bows to defeat in New Or
leans. THAT'S GOOD.
As far as we can recall it's the first direct reverse he has
suffered, in his home state, since his table poundings and dema
gogic ravings got him a seat in the senate.
But those who think this will quiet Huey, or disconcert him
in the least, don't know the man. From the standpoint of prac
tical politics he is the unainkable type. Everything that happens
is grist for his mill.
If he wins it's the triumph of the common people over the
vested interests; if he loses, the forces of righteousness and
truth, have been done in by corruption and graft.
He has that one formula, and as long as his voice holds out,
that is all he needs.
IIUET LONG is the opportunist par excellence. He is for
anything that promises to bring him votes. Nominally a
Democrat, he really cares no more for the Democratic party
than he does for the Republican. He cares for nothing but
HIMSELF 1
He has one sure fire slogan "soak the rich let's have a
redistribution of wealth I"
Anyone who questions the popularity of that slogan, knows
nothing about the present psychology of the American people.
In a crude way in fact it is the basis of tho New Deal.
That figuratively speaking the rich ARE to be soaked, and
there IS to be a redistribution of wealth in this country, no
thoughtful person can deny.
But not in the way the Kingfish proposes. It is to be a
gradual not an immediate process; it is to be a matter of evolu
tion, not revolution. The Morgan and Rockefeller fortunes aro
NOT going to be confiscated and passed around; but the condi
tions that made possible the amassing of auch fortunes are going
to disappear, and there is going to be a fairer and better deal,
for the average man, for the rank and file.
IF the latter outcome were really Huey Long's purpose, if he

force for good in the country, and an individual to be reckoned
with in the future.
But he isn't. Look into this history and you will find that
nothing rings true. He is merely a. demagogue, a self seeker,
an exhibitionist. He is a showman, trying to get the suckers
into the show, and the only show is Huey.
So as in public life there is no substitute for honestv and
sincerity at least none in the
have his little skyrocket ascension, his final burst, and then
down he will come.
You can't fool all the people all the time. And the first
indication that the people of Louisiana are awaking from the
trance Huey cast over them, is the victory of the anti-Long
forces in New Orleans.

COI.DS AND INFLUENZA
I quote the tltt from our leading
medical Journal. The large black let
ters are bound to catch the eye of
the busy phys
ician as he runs
over the pages of
his medical Jour
nal to see If
there's anything
new In doctor
ing. If the wea
ther Is bad. he
may even stop to
see what about
Colds and Influ
ents a. A n d by
gosh ' there Is
lot about the
subject. "To help
resistance to winter ailment," the an
nouncement goes on In slightly
smaller type, "utilize the strengthen
ing qualities, the ready assimlabUlty
and the convenience of . . ."
Never mind the name of the nos
trum, Suffice to eay It purport to
contain certain elements of jnillc and
certain elements of cereals. In fact
it Is made from a mixture of elements
from these two common foods.
With a good stretch of Imagina
tion and a liberal allowance for face
tlousness one might say all that of
a dish of cracked wneat and a glass
of milk. But wheat and milk do not
come In funny packagea and they cost
only what they are worth as good
foods and there la no mystery about
them, so the chances are people would
laugh at you for & quetrr nut If you
did aerlously urge wheat and milk to
help build resistance to winter ail
ments. And oddly enough the farm
era who raise wheat and the dairy
men who raise milk would be the
first to laugh at such a suggestion.
They always are. It must be the
climate.
No physician or scientist can ex
plain what "resistance to winter ail
ments' means or consists of. No one
can define 'resistance" as distin
guished from the positive state which
science recognizes -as Immunity. But
such minor considerations do not de
ter the credulous doctor from pre
scribing the most ettravagsnt nos
trums; he hss the feeling that be
cause these exquisitely packaged foods
and medicines are "accepted" by the
council on something or other In the
national 'medical organization, that
takes the curse off from the habit
of prescribing the nostrums.
The cheap ballyhoo to the dumb
doctors goes on to mention that the
special prooess of making the stuff
from milk and cereal conserves In
"high degree" some of the vltasnlna
present In milk and cereal. The Im
plication ot this, of course. Is that

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Fairy Story Pores.
You seem to be the only doctor
who KNOWS there are no pores in
the skin. Attached are cllpplns show
ing statements of three noted med
ical authorities who evidently Im
agine the human skin still has pores.

Answer Why not arranga a debate
between any dotcor or Individual of
scientific standing who believes the
skin has pores and absorbs things,
and myself, the proceeds to go to
some worthy charity? I'd gladly
contribute my part, and also give
my precious skin to any scientifically
controlled test the opponents might
care to make, to show whether the
skin will absorb anything.

gation of serum shooters known as

R. P. O.
Answer You are good, brother, and
I wish I could print your letter in
full. Also. I'd be grsteful for a ref
erence to any authoritative work on
physiology which supports the funny
notion that acids should not be taken
In the eame meal with starchea. Acids
rather naturally aid the digestion of
starches. For Instance, in his excel
lent little book "What We Eat and
What Happens to It" (Harpers) Prof.
Philip B. Hawk says:
"We have found that oatmeal
and cream, for example, are di
gested rather more satisfactorily
If grapefruit preparea the stom
ach for their reception."

In reading over your editorial re
gard. n(t the action of corigwa on the

might be able to enlighten ua a
little on a matter that haa been pua
T.llng ua lately.
We have been reading and hearing
a lot about thta hog reducing pro
gram that is being worked out lor
this aectlon. And we can't aee why
w ahould be In for reducing our hog
population.
For we noticed a feature ad In

one of the leading merchanta of Med

haa aold literally tona of eaatern
bacon tn Juat a few montha' time.
And we talked with a truck owner
a while bark, who we know la re
liable, that In forma ua he la hauling
from one to two truck load of Swift
Co'a lard from Portland to Med
ford each week.
Now would you plcane tell ua Just
what la ncrewy' herer
Can It be that In the face of this '.
nurplua our meat dloeera are
actually going clear back ea.t for ,
bacbQ bi. our own farmers are
walking the sole leather off their
shoes trying to dispose of a few hogs
that they may help Med ford's trade
a little?
Or u It possible that what hogs
we raise here are not fit for con
sumption? If this la the case, we had better
call the Chamber of Commerce's at
tention to It, and tell them to atop
telling the world this Is a "Great
Country," For If they get people
to come out here, they will have to
send clear back to the corn belt for
any bacon that la fit to eat, and have
their lard shipped down from Port
land. We believe that Instead of trying
to reduce the hog population, we
should be more concerned In reduc
ing the outside Importations of
product that we have right here at

For you know "That by Medford

for the whole hog, not just the spare

All Pry or All WetT
To the Editor:
The 16th amendment la gone and
because of that everybody seems to
think our country Is all wet. This
la not true. There are still 35 states
In which it la Illegal to transport or
sell Intoxicants., Prohibition was vot
ed in by an overwhelming majority
It was legally repealed by less than
24 per cent of the qualified voters of
the country.
At the opening of congress the
other day the following Incidents oc
curred as related by one who was
there.
"Just before President Roosevelt
appeared before congress, the clerk of
the house of representatives read
among official communications to
the speaker of the house, the letter
of official ratification of the repeal
of the 18th amendment by the state
of Utah, which ended national prohi
bition. The only applause on the
Republican side was by Congressman
Mrs. Flore no P. Kahn of San Fran
cisco, California, and on the Demo
cratic aide by three members. The
silence of the mass' of the crowded
house of representatives was elo
quent. "Shortly after this President Roose
velt appeared to deliver his message
In person before a Joint session of
both houses. He was given a tremen
dous ovation as he came up the ramp
to the rostrum on the arm of his son
James. As he came to the last? quar
ter of his message, which had been
interrupted at times by general ap
plause, these words: 'the adoption of
the 2Jst amendment ahould give ma
terial aid in the elimination of those
new forms of crime which came from
Illegal liquor traffic Then he paused.
But the applause was so paltry as
apparently to embarrass the president
and he hastened on. Evidently Amur
lea was changing her mind.
We asked a Democratic senator who
voted for repeal what he thought of
that reception. He said 'I noticed it.
The membership of congress Is In
confusion as to what they should do
about the liquor problem. The peo
ple are changing.' A Republican dry
senator said, 'the anti-liquor senti
ment la turning tn a reverse tide. ' If
the states were to vote today scarcely
a dozen would vote for repeal."
