The speaker will also deal with the audacity of a Republican, In running against a Democrat with such high ldoals. Pine or Imprison ment, or both, Is urged.

Is The Showdown Here! rVJO doubt about it, ' The country is in a vastly a year ago. But, politically speaking, the President ISN'T. At the mo ment, he is between the devil and the deep blue sea, and the coming week promises to be, for IJECAUSE general economic conditions have greatly improved, because at last, recovery long delayed, has actually started, President Roosevelt naturally is anxious to do nothing to inter fere with this improvement. But probably no one realizes better than he does, that putting into effect TODAT, the principles of. the New Deal, in which he believes, can have no other result, than to retard recovery, at least temporarily. So the situation comes down to the familiar one of the Lady or the Tiger. Which will it bet Will the president take his stand NOW, meet these fundamental issues firmly and directly, let the tail go with the hide, listen to Big Business yowl and watch the stock market slide down or, Will he mediate and compromise, employ his unquestioned genius as a conciliator, to postpone the inevitable day of reckon ing to a more propitious time, country economically and financially, has passed from a period of convalescence to one of complete recovery, a"nd thus can bet ter absorb the shock and strain! WE don't know. Probably But what is done hv the week or two, will undoubtedly light, upon the president's essential character, and the corner stone of his political strategy. ' President Roosevelt for example, undoubtedly wants a stock exchange regulation measure with TEETH in it, one that will break the tyrannical power of the'socalled Money Trust, once and for all. ' He also undoubtedly wants Henry Ford, General Motors, and the automotive industry as a whole, to abandon their socalled company unions, and accept affiliation with the American Federation of Labor. In the airplane industry ho and secret understandings, eliminated, anything approaching an airplane monopoly prevented, of unfair practices punished. WILL he insist upon these drastio actions now! If he docs then the crisis which his election and the New Deal in volved, has arrived, the long delayed social and economic Ar mageddon is here. If he doesn't, then, of course, the "show down" will again be delayed, and precisely WHAT the inauguration of a "new deal" in this country's affairs is going to mean, will still wait upon the future to disclose. '''-.," Pretty JUDGING by the Democratio press in this state, the party has launched a definite campaign to discredit and deflate Colonel Lindbergh. For his criticism of the government in the airplane controversy, and his refusal to act on Secretary Dern's commit tee of inquiry the colonel is slated apparently for the junk pile. The Portland Journal, as in most things Democratio in this state, is taking the leadership, giving Lindbergh the razz berry in one form or another, almost daily on its editorial page. The main indictment is, of course, that by his criticism of the administration, Colonel Lindbergh has shown that he has sold out to Wall Street, that aa a stockholder and salaried official of certain airplane companies, he has abandoned the paths of recti tude and sympathy for the common man, and bowed his knee before the gilded calf of Mammon. ' In yesterday's Journal, for example, the following editorial comment is quoted, and given top-page prominence : Until the pack of predatory wolves of high finance, using the new Invention of aviation and Colonel Lindbergh's fame aa the world'a flying hero to scuttle the nation's treasury, were caught red-handed and abruptly sent packing with their graft-conceived ' contracts. Then, and only then, did a nation learn lhat Its flying hero, the once poor son of a father to whom wealth meant leas than . righteousness, waa the victim of the malady that rota men and nations alike. i "The world waited long and patiently for this man to apeak," and when he did, a nation mourned. So the nation mourned because this great hero of the air, unlike his fathor, abandoned righteousness for wealth, and stands revealed as the victim of a malady that "rots men and nations alike." First Lindbergh, dodging newspaper ' reporters like the plague, yielded "to his passion for the spotlight and publicity," when ho penned that letter, now he is an example of mercenary greed and money lust. e s e s f . IUST one word of comment on that last indictment! Shortly after Lindbergh's return from France as this coun try's air hero, William Randolph Hearst called him in, and of fered him $300,000 in cash, if he would sign a movie contract for just one pioture, that one picture was to be purely educational occupying somowhat the same place in aviation that Bobby Jones' pictures did in golf. Lindy was a poor boy then j ho is not, according to our infor mation, a rich man now. There was a way and a perfectly LEGITIMATE way, for him to make a fortune to be indepen dent for life. But Lindy refused. Ho was very grateful to Mr. Hearst, but he did not wish to capitalize his exploit commercially and no amount of gold could tempt him to do so. He shook hands with the wealthy publisher and walked out.

Ol' Doc Webster Is not so hot when It comes to technical medical quea tlons, yet I seldom find fault with his , i, Ideas you see, I'm trying to win h 1 a regard, to, he'll give the crl a break In bis next edition. Food, says the lexicographer,' Is nutritive material absorbed or taken Into the body of an organism for purposes of growth or repair and for the main tenance of the vita, processes. - I reckon we can't Improve on that defi nition. A skin specialist, perhaps bored to extinction hanging around the office waiting for the next patient, lectured before a lunch club on the art ,of drinking, according to an Item sent in by our Michigan scout. Alcohol, according to this lunch club savant, Is "an excellent food 'requiring no expensive digestion and offering no difficulty to absorption, assimilation and elimination," provided you take only small quantities at each bout. "About two ounces can be used dally by the average person as a food." the Item makes the doctor say. "It Is most useful to the physician In treat lny case where there is no appetite, low vitality and digestive and ellml natlve functions have ceased.' Two gallons of alcohol might be useful, too. for preserving portions of such a patient after some more func tions have ceased. First, however, a ood physician should apply resusci tation with one hand and clout over the car any maudlin bystander who attempts to give the victim a narcotic denressant drug. How easily this skin specialist set tles the perplexing problem of the utilization of alcohol in the human economy. While physiologists, chem ists and scientific experts struggle endlessly with the question and never arrive at a clear understanding, den tists, skin specialists and brass sur- neons with nothing to do can attend the lunch club shindy and tell the boys precisely what's what, and maybe fiet their names mentioned In the paner to boot. To get two ounces of alcohol you'd have to drink two quarts of beer a day, or say a pint of American wine or Vt, pints of European wine. Quite a problem In Itself to pour all that liquid down your gullet and still at tend to your business If any. yet avoid being offended by the traffic cops.

This time of year everybody Is twittering with the 1 puses. The gait of the caged bear looking for escape. Young men hurl themselvea Into the new cause.

This year I can make sales, but can't get cars to deliver." Life is like that, Isn't It? Just one thing after another. BUT listen: If life ever gets so easy that we common, everyday folk don't have to hustle and scheme and sweat In order to make a living, running every day and every week and every month Into some new obstacle that we have to overcome, LOOK OUT! Trouble will be brewing. . BACK In the fat years Ju&t before 1029, things were too easy. Almost anybody could make money, and almost EVERYBODY did. It Just seemed to Ylow in, without effort. And look what happened In 1029. And look what has been happening ever since. LET'S try not to forget that one big reason why times have been too hard since 1029 Is that they were TOO EASY for several years before 1929. THE old passes and the new comes on. The newest of the new, so far as transportation is concerned Is the Union Pacific's streamlined, gas-driven, aluminum train, which visited Oregon this week and drew crowds like a circus. The fact that people are keenly In terested in the new Is proved by the way they turned out to see this new train. THIS train that passed through Oregon Is an experiment. But the experiment, apparently, Is regarded already as a success, for two more like It, only larger, have been ordered for delivery some time this summer s The experimental train contains three cars, all day coaches, but the new trains will contain nine cars, In cluding sleepers. The eptire three-car train, inciden tally, weighs only about as much as one old-style Pullman. W HERE will this train be put Into service? Nobody knows, yet at least none of the officials accompanying the train knew. It Is assumed that It will go Into service on some short run that can be made In daylight, aa It has no sleeper equipment. There Is a rumor that It will go on between Portland and Seattle. IT Is expected that these new, light, atreamlined trains will make the run from Chicago to the Pacific Coast In about 36 hours, which Is average running time of about 70 miles an hour. The train Is capable of a top speed of 110 miles an hour, and has been j pushed up to that several times. . I That 4s getting up toward airplane ' speed. ! - I THE railroads, in building these new, fast trains, are looking to the future. In thla connection, J. c. Cumming, assistant general freight 1 and passenger agent of the Union Pa cific, said to this writer yesterday: "The older generation goes on rid ing the trains, It's the new genera- tlon that rides the airplanes and trav els by fast automobiles. There are plenty of college students In these days who have never been on a train." 1 -j IT'S this younger generation, you see, 1 that the railroads are gunning for. They HAVE to. or when the older generation dies off they'll be out of customers. a)" IT'S quite the custom among older people to look with misgiving upon the younger generation, and to shake I a doubtful head over its goings-on. But ever since the world began a I younger generation has been coming I on, and In the main It has been this I younger generation, looking around ; for new ways and new thrills, that has been responsible for most of the 1 progress that has been made.

Last year I attained the ripe old age of 21, at which time so I was taught In school-i it becomes In cumbent upon a good citizen to reg-1 lster as a voter and aid ttiose candl-1 dates whom he thinks are best fitted to attain the office they are seeking. J As I have always been more or less Interested in political Issues, I have: looked forward with great enthual-j asm to the time when I would be able to fulfill the necessary obliga tions and cast my first-vote. There fore, per.hapa I am more conversant with politics than the average young man of my age. Is it to be wondered that I am trying to be more than conscientious about where my, to me, so valuable, vote shall be bestowed? There are three- factors that shall govern the casting of my vote for a candidate: First My own personal acquaint ance with the 'candidate. Second The candidate's statements on the various political ssues: 1. e., his platform. Third His opponent's statements concerning him. Presuming that Mr. X has filed for office. In order to find out whether he shall garner my vote or not, I shall Judge .him according to these standards: First My own personal acquaint ance with the candidate. I shall be able to do very little measuring with this yardstick, Inas much as my age will afford a serious handicap to exchanging confidences with Mr. X. I may be safe in saying that not more than one candidate out of an hundred will gain my vote from this source. Second The candidate's statements on the various political issues., 1. e., his platform. In the past I have found that most campaign speeches are so Interspersed with "well turned phrases" such as "From the rock bound ccast of Maine to the sun kissed shores of California." and "We must all put our Khoulders to the wheel," etc., ad nauseum, until it has been found all but Impossible to leave the orollstlc fireworks with one positive statement upon which one could pin their faith. Of course I realize that a few resounding phrases are a great aid in Incorpo rating vividness In a speech, yet I fear that the average style of de livery used . when "stumping" for public office would brtng a high school public speaking instructor to tears. Sincerity and candor delivered in one sentence Is, to me. more far reaching and effective than a book full of bombastic oratory. Mr. X had best take heed. Third His opponent's statements concerning him. Tftis could also be changed to his statements about h!s opponent vindication and mud slinging have qualities closely akin to rubber balls. Such things are quite apt to bounce back to the in stigator. If Mr. X used these means, without definite proof, to discredit and defeat his opponents, he mlg.ht find admirers making excuses for Mr. X's attitude and feeling sorry for the Injustice done his competi tors. He should remember that "all the world loves the under dog." Whether Mr.. X shall gain my vote In the forthcoming election may be easily summed up: (1) W'-iat do I know of him per sonally? 2) Are his speeches filled with can dor, straight forwardness and hon esty? (3) Does he speak of .his own record and past accomplishments or does he substitute statements to discredit his opponent?
