Rufus Holman -
QEVERAL days ago an upstate grange asked Rufus Holman
to cither resign as state treasurer, or as candidate for gov
ernor. It uid not like the idea
two offices at the same time.
Yesterday the' redoubtable
which took the form of an emphatic "no!"
Not only will Rufus refuse to resign one office until he is
elected to the other, but following his coronation as governor
he will appoint his own successor as state treasurer, for only
thus can the Holman principles "of progressive government,
which have been so long delayed,
"Any other action," observes the great Apostle of political
righteousness "would be playing right into the hands of the
power trust, other selfish interests and my political enemies,
and thereby would tend to defeat the entire purpose of my
election." . '
THERE, ladies and gentlemen, you HAVE Mr. Rufus Holman !
Anrl Via man anrnnllv TtFTTKVF.S it f
OTHERS may have their doubts of the greatness and jndis
pensibility of Rufus Holman, but NOT Rufus Holmdn.
The present State Treasurer is CONVINCED that if he
should resign and take his chances on getting another job, as
governor, (as an ordinary human being might do) the state of
Oregon would go into a fatal tailspin AT ONCE. If he could
have his way he would not only hold two state offices at once,
he would hold ALIi of them for he is convinced he is not only
the most able and honest man
the ONLY one. ,
THIS has always been Mr. Holman's belief. When appointed

of the most efficient state treasurer in Oregon's history, Tom
Kay, a finer, squarer, public official never lived. But did
Rufus take the time to pay his predecessor a passing tribute,
even hint that he would uphold the policies and principles of
his predecessor so suddenly taken by death t
No. At that solemn hour Rufus, as usual, ONLY THOUGHT
OF HIMSELF, and how fortunate the state was to have a man,
as honest and efficient and progressive as he, to handle its
finances.
RUFUS HOLMAN,- if psycho, analyzed, would probably be
classified as an Egocentrio Introvert. He suffers from
delusions of persecution and delusions of grandeur. No one can
convince him the Power Trust is not constantly on the warpath
to do him in; no one can convince him, that if he should fail to
win whatever political race he may enter, that all the forces of
righteousness and fair dealing, would NOT go down with him.
Such supreme self confidence, such collosal egotism is con
tagious. A man who believes so thoroughly and exclusively
in himself, can't fail but impress others particularly those who
are not politically sophisticated, and who ARE IMPRESSION
ABLE. And that in the last analysis is the secret of Rufus
Holman's strength.
What Should Be Done?
THE conviction that recovery is being held back is the basis
of the outcry against the "brain trust", and the reason why,
in spite of the collapse of Dr. Wirt 'a charges, the "brain trust"
is increasingly unpopular. It is also the cause of the inflationist
Sentiment in congress. That sentiment expresses the view that
the depression is due primarily to a derangement of money,
which has destroyed prices and profits, and not, as AAA and
NRA imply, to a lack of "planning" and control in the economic
structure. ; . .
The administration has been acting on both theories. It has
a monetary policy which tends to raise general prices, to restore
profits, and to stimulate enterprise. It has a policy of regimen
tation, which raises prices here and there but in no intelligent
relation to other prices, which obstructs profits and discourages
entorpriso. The two policies are now grinding one against the
other.
THIS conflict has to be solved. J.I is the main business before
the country, before congress, and before the administration.
There are three possible ways in which it can be resolved. Tho
regimentation could be redoubled and reinforced and the at
tempt made to run agriculture and industry under government
control. This is the direction indicated by the Bankhead cotton
bill. To take this road is, however, impossible. Congress would
not permit it. The country would not tolerate it. Tho admin
istration does not desire it. The second way is the one that
congress is threatening to use. It consist in imposing upon
tho banking system an inflation of sufficient power to overcome
tho inertia of all the restrictive measures. This is a dangerous
and disorderly way to reach a sound objective. The third way
is for tho administration itself to release enterprise by abandon
ing some of tho measures that constrict it and by revising
others. This is the way of common sense. 1
FOR the monetary policy as now set up, supplemented as occa
sion demands by the use of the powers the president already
possesses, is a most powerful engine for recovery if only it is
permitted to operate. It can creato immense supplies of new
money provided channels are opened through which new money
can flow into industry. It would be the height of folly not to
use it when, by using it intelligently, as the British are doing
with a similar monetary engine, it is almost certainly possible
to bring back to tho people work, security, and peaco of mind.
To do this is in no sense to abandon the hopes of tho "new
deal." For, as tho president himself has frequently said, all the
particular devices of tho past year are purely experimental and
should bo modified when they do not work. Experience has now
shown that some of them thwart enterprise and retard recovery.
Thoso devices ought without the slightest compunction to be
revised so that they will not thwart enterprise and retard recov

HOW TO ENJOY A G
First, you must have a clear con
science, or none.
Second, it Is essential that you de
vote at least an
hour or better
several hours
day to some form
of honest work,
that is, working
with your mus
cles, and It does-
n't matter
whether this
.shall consist of
scrubbing the
floors, sweeping,
doing the wash
ing, ironing,
painting the
porch, building a dog kennel, spad
ing the garden, shoveling the side
walk, skating, playing baseball, walk
ing to the office or doing the La.it
Braay symphony or swimming or
working out In the gymnasium, or
running or hiking. Anything to make
you healthily tired. If the exerciaa
Is taken out In the "air, sun, wind,
snow, heat, cold or rain, It is all the
better medicine. Is it not so?
Third, unless you are already over
weight, It Is 'well to take a bedtime
snack If you retire more than three
hours after your . regular evening
meal. This night lunch may be any
thing that appeals to your taste, ex
cept alcoholic beverages, tea, coffee,
cocoa or choloate. Any food or com
bination of foods that you like or
dinarily and digest ordinarily will be
quite suitable for the sleeping ra
tion. Don t pass up a treat Just be
cause some old duffer Imagines this
and that Is "Indigestible" or causes
nightmare. If you are already over-
nourished, or under-worked which
amounts to the same thing prac
tically you stuff In additional fuel
at bedtime at your own peril and
who cares about your peril anyway?
Fourth, have sleeping equipment
that allures rather than the uncom
fortable bed that makes a night's res;
impossible.
Fifth, to bathe or not to bathe be
fore retiring Is a purely individual
question. Do as you like or as you
feel about that.
Sixth, be thankful if and when
you can have cool air, and If pu3-
slble moving air, to sleep In, of course
with comfortable covers to keep you
warm. On stormy nights the un
bleached muslin window screen will
provide Ideal ventilation. On very
hot, still nights an electric fan Is a
blessing, that is, If you are not super
stitious about the refreshing draft.
Seventh, say your prayers and slip
Into bed. Do your belly breathing ex- I
erclse. When this is done, set your-1
self to spy out subconsciousness.
That Is, Just as a pastime try to
catch yourself as you drift into ,the

BY O.O.Mclntyre
NEW YORK, April 25. Not many
New York husbands, the dears, are
to be left alone with the dog and
Ice - box while
wives and chlld-
dren go holiday
ing this summer.
More than any
summer In tne
past five this Is
to be a season at

But the na

blows e x cellent
for nearby re
sorts of Long Isittnd and Jersey over
the week-end. Generally speaking.
New York will take Its vacation in
small sporadic doses. Already second
rate country Inns nearby with wain
scoted parlors, evening fires And ten
things arc popular.
One of the twists of the times is
the enormous increase in bicycling
parties on Saturday and Sunday, This
too, is the time of year when tho
private mansions on the upper East
Side are boarded. The only show of
life was the plpe-pufflng Janitor in
an area way at sundown.
Scarcely a dozen of these homes
are eo shuttered this summer. A real
estate expert discovers that six years
ago only 18 per cent of the occu
pants of apartment houses on Park
and upper Fifth avenue remained In
town during the hot months. This
summer 80 per cent will remain.
Roxy seems to have leaped from a
frying pan Into a bed of soft coul
roses. His 1100.000 a year salary hid
been shaved to half that amount plus
the bedevilmenu of internal strife
Today his moving picture house en

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Sugar Obsession.
Your article regarding the action of
sugar on a tired-out person prompts
me to ask Why I get a headache If I
take any sugar -on such an occasion,
whereas, If I take some food con
taining starch but no sugar, It re
freshes me and satisfies me and gives
me no neaaacner n. 1. u.
Answer I give up. Only explana
tion that occurs to me Is that you
have some peculiar obsession against
sugar. Sugar Is the easiest of all foods
to digest, the most quickly assimilat
ed, and the best emergency ration
when exhaustion impends and re
freshment is needed to enable one to
carry on in the effort. Many people
whose education has been neglected
acquire morbid notions about sugar
from the teachings of freaks and
fakers.
Gravel.
In the case of kidney stones or
gravel la It better to remain in bed
or to have plenty of physical exer
cise while they are passing? Mrs. O.
V. N.
Answer If there Is not too great
pain It Is better to keep reasonably
active and get a fair amount of gen
eral exercise dally.
Pure Milk.
Our four children range from 15
years to 15 months. We get raw milk
for the baby, and so-and-so's Vitamin
D milk for the rest of the children.
Is this better than raw milk? I stilt
give the baby cod liver oil, and he
gets -his sun bath every day. Mrs.
C. A.
Answer Provided your physician
approves the milk, plain raw milk Is
best for all the children, I wins.
After a year a baby needs no cod liver
oil, as a rule.

By FRANK JENKINS.
WHEN you go to bed, do you go to
sleep at once as soon as you
'hit the hay," to use a familiar ex
pression or do you lie awake for any
where from a half hour to HOURS?
IF YOU go to sleep at once, you're
physically lucky.
But If you have to count sheep.
fir repeat over and over some sooth
ing phrase, or concentrate deter
minedly on making your mind a total
blank, in order to get to sleep, It's a
sign that MENTALLY you're above
the average. -
At least that's what the scientists
tell us, and the scientists are sup
posed to know everything.
IT WORKS like this:
1 If you aren't much of a thinker
that is, If you are more active
physically than mentally your mind
Is at rest when you go to bed, and you
drop off to sleep quickly.
But if you ARE a thinker, If your
mind is working constantly at some
problem or other, your mind ISN'T
at rest when you go to bed, and this
mental restlessness keeps you awake.
NAPOLEON, you know. Is supposed
to have slept only about four
houis out of the 24 not, probably,
because he didn't need more sleep,
but because his mind was so busy
going over schemes of various sorts
that he couldn't get to sleep.
T UT, If you don't get to sleep
U easily, don't Jump too quickly to
the conclusion that you're a mental
marvel.
It may be only a NERVOUS STOM
ACH that keeps you awake.
Diagnosticians tell us that nervous
stomachs are responsible for a lot
of the sleeplessness that curses
humanity.'
NERVOUS stomachs are pretty apt
to be the result of over-eating,
or wrong eating and neither over
eating nor wrong eating,- you know,
is anything to be particularly proud
of.
YOU are familiar, of course, with
the goose-bone prophets, who pre
dict the weather by watching the
conduct of Insects, birds and animals.
Most of us laugh at them, but
there's really a little more to their
prophecies than we generally give
them credit for.
IT'S AN old saying, you know that
when swallows fly low, rain may
be expected.
Swallows feed on Insects In the air,
and when rain Is coming Insect fly
lower to escape the coldness of the
upper air that precedes a rainstorm.
But that way, the swallow predic
tion sounds ressonable.

And when birds cease to sing, rain,
