Nothing To Criticize A SUBSCRIBER inquires why, we haven't called attention to the fact that both Oregon senators voted against Presi dent Roosevelt on the free silver bill. The writer believes such action is in direct opposition to the policy of this paper, in up holding the administration during the present crisis, and seems to feel Messrs. HcNary and Stoiwer should be publicly repri manded, and shown their attitude is resented by the "folks back home", etc, etc. The votes of Senators Steiwer and McNary, favoring the socallcd free silver amendment to the monetary gold stock measure, were included in the press dispatches at the time, but we saw, and still see, no particular point in calling attention to them, at least in the way of condemnation. AS a general principle we certainly do favor upholding the hands of President Roosevelt in the present crisis. But this does not mean we oppose either constructive criticism, or Oregon representatives, at all times voting according to their honest convictions. It is true President Roosevelt opposed the passage of this Wheeler amendment at the present time. Because of his oppo sition, and only because of it, the But many of the senators of the president's own party, and many of his strongest supporters, disagreed with him on this particular issue. They felt the free coinage of silver at this time, would do more than any other one thing to cure the pres ent monetary mess, and restore prosperity not only in this coun try but throughout the world. McNary and Steiwer undoubtedly believed this. So did such ardent supporters of the president as Senator Norris of Nebras ka, Nye of North Dakota, LaFollette of Wisconsin, Dill, of Washington, Wheeler of Montana, and Shipstcad of Minnesota Qn the other hand such consistent critics of the president's monetary policies as Fess of Ohio, Pennsylvania, voted against the measure. rIE line of cleavage was not partisan. As a whole eastern senators opposed the bill, western senators supported it. In the opinion of Senator Borah, who certainly can't be ac cused of Republican partisanship, and who also supported the' measure, similar legislation regarding silver will have to be passed and will be passed before complete economic and financial recovery is possible Under such circumstances, wo feel' there is no justification for holding up the senators of this state, either to public con demnation or to criticism. Since the fourth of March they have upheld the hands of the president on all important issues, and have refrained from narrow partisanship on all occasions. They are to be commenced. The Middle Ground WHILE on this subject, we might as well make the position of this newspaper clear, regarding its support of the pres ent administration. We are giving our enthusiastic support to President Roose velt because we sincerely believe in him his sincerity, his j vision, his ability, because we OrandpawJof national salvation at this critical time. BUT we also believe it is no time for hysterical adulation, no time for an ACTUAL dictatorship; no time for our senators or congressmen in Wash ington, to reduce themselves either to sycophants, or mere rub ber stamps. Tft adnnt rh latter attitude at. this timfl would hf almost as to our mind, as to victim, as whb his predecessor, , , , , .... ana un tigering a uomcmi'iiuie his hands so nothing constructive In short this paper, as usual, Uu.cs. and adopts the middle lround. . wta snail continue to support rresiaent Jtooseveit when we believe him to be right and thus far we have believed him to be right on all essential policies but we shall of course not give that support, whenever we bolieve him to bo wrong. That is what we ask and all we ask, of others. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is not a Miracle Man. That is the last thing he would claim to be. He is not above making mistakes even serious ones. But ONGE they are called to his attention, he can be depended upon not to persist in them. Only through the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism of those who honestly disagree with him not on grounds of party but of principle, can he lead this country along the path of recovery, at the greatest speed, and at the minimum of sacrifice. No man in his place at such a time as this, could win the war he is fighting and have all the other agencies of the government, merely quit the job, and supinely put the stnmp of approval everything ho does, regardless to bo the tonscquenccs. MO,-it is only through the interplay of our best minds, the ' charting of a course through trial and error a test of every step in the light of the best wisdom, and ripest experience, this country can produce, that this country as we have known it, can be saved. That is why the present is no time for political partisanship. That is ALSO, why the present the other way, and trying to choke off all opinions that may be contrary to those of the administration. The two greatest obstacles to President Roosevelt's success, are the partisan quibblcrs on one hand, and the stupid syco phants on the otherl A wlra waa received from James W.

Gl'ESSINO IS RIGHT (WRONG) IP YOU GUESS IT'S A "COLD" In a review of the process of sci ence In 1933 Rsnsom Sutton observ ed that the doctors are still guessing about tho cause of the common cold. That Is putting It mildly. In c 1 i t 1 t 1 e medicine Koch's law Is uni versally recognized as a rational test of the putative cause of a disease, Briefly these are the rules formu lated by Koch: 1. The organ- Ism should be found in the bod ies of animals (or persons) hav ing th disease. 3. It should be found In that disease and no other. 3. It should occur In such numbers and be distributed In such a manner as to explain the lesions of the disease. 4. The organism should be ob tained from Vie , diseased indi vidual and propagated In pure ' culture outside of the body. 6. Inoculation of a susceptible animal with a pure culture of the organism obtained by success give transplantations from the smallest particle of matter taken from the original diseased Indi vidual should produce the same disease. 6. A pure culture of the organ Ism should be obtained from this Inoculated animal. Seldom Is It necessary to fulfill all of these rules to the letter in order to be reasonably sure a given germ Is the cause of a given disease, but any claims set up in reference to the cause of a disease must at least satisfy the first two requirements If It is to have any standing In court. University savants and eminent medical prestidigitators who periodic cally elucidate the nature, cause, pre vention and cure of the "common cold" know their public. They naively Imply that any fool knows what a common cold Is, and leave It at that. However, no one has sufficient sci entific ansurance to define such an entity or matady. The boys who get the fine front page publicity in con nection with the periodic discovery of the cause of the common cold naturally prefer to keep the thing' (Continued from Page One) The schemers are now trying to arrange that. They probably will not be able to give enough guarantees to satisfy Davis. Undermining Really serious world-shaking news hss upset all Washington. It broke a few days ago, not In secret but on the floor of the senate. Huey Long found out who had "destroyed" him. It was not Mr. Roosevelt or that diminutive newsman he slashed with a cane. The culprit Is none other than J. P. Morgan. It seems that Morgan has been sitting up nights. He can not sleep, but keeps murmuring to himself: "I must get Huey; I must get Hupy." Lon has told that yarn so often the newspapers do not print it any more. It used to go well in the cane brakes until Long inferred that Morgan hired a thug to hit him In a Long Inland washroom. That seem ed to be going a little too far. Notes The rumors going around the country that General Johnson re ceives an army pension in addition to his 16.000 salary are NOT correct. The veta bureau says he Is not on the list either for retired officers pay or disability allowance. He re signed from the army shortly after the war.

"CIPHER" oeorpe Hunt, don't "cipher" for gvvl toast In the mornings any longer. Just bring home a loaf of Fluhrvr's New Spun Bread each night and your j troubles will be over. I s I Urady, M.D. vague. The more elusive and Intan gible it Is the greater leeway they have In the scramble for front page mention. , So we can assure those who record current history that there Is darn small chance of anybody really find ing the cause of "the common cold" until somebody finds and brings back alive a bona fide specimen of "the common cold." Yes, I know any fool can en lighten me about this at almost any time. But I have quite lost hope of being Introduced to "the common cold" by a person of scientific at tainment or character. There Is no such disease as "the common cold." If' you imagine you have such an Illness, heaven only knows what It will prove to be. Cer tainly your doctor doesn't; that's why he lets you drift along with your trick diagnosis. He'll find out tomorrow or next week maybe what really alls you.

How many times must I warn you nitwits that reputable physicians or specialists practice un der their own names, and never un der such Impersonal aliases as "as sociation," "clinic," "combined spe cialists," and the like. Chocolate I crave chocolate and eat at least one bar a day. Do you advise this? Is there any danger of eating too much chocolate? (P. W.) Ans. A "bar Is a variable quan tity. Such chocolate yields perhaps 200 calories to the ounce. For phy Ically active young people It Is oke, For sedentary folk It Is not so good, In my opinion bar chocolate or milk chocolate is as wholesome as Is sugar, candy, honey. Ice cream or any other sweet. (Copyright, 1034, John F. Dllle Co.) (id. Note: Readers wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letters direct to Dr William Brady. M.
