Brat BoHhevHcl of "Old Oregon" returned their Intellectual hellralslng over the week-end. They tuged a campua rumpus and yelled, marched, cussed capitalists, and read poems denouncing war. It la a question which Is the worst war or some of the poems denouncing It. For some tune past there has been a suspicion that being a staunch believer In Americanism was becoming old- J fashioned, and most any form of nut government was better than our own, in the opinion of many university minds. The time seems ripe to start a Russian cafe on the Old Mill Race, If there Is not one already establish' ed, Nothing la more tragically funny than a wild-eyed collegian, suffering from the hallucination he Is a Com. munlet.

TJnder a life sentence In Ban Quen tin prison for kidnaping a Los An geles millionaire Is Ray Williams, once a farmer. The ranch failed, and he took up kidnaping, and It failed. Mr. Williams Is worse off than the Oregon tillers, chased every waking moment by Wall at, and Portland politicians. ... The athletic girls are again em ploying their vim and vigor climbing mta. In stead of helping mother wash the dishes. Phil Jackson's Instructions to em ployes of the Journal Is to beat Ma honey by fair means or fowl and any reasonable minded voter can recog nize that It's chiefly fowl. (Penin sula, Ore., Herald.) It must have been a mud-hen. The Bales Tax was decisively de feated, as expected, In every county of the state save this one. It seems Jackson county Is too close to Cali fornia, and too far from the Portland Journal editorials, to act like the rest of Oregon. The great problem now confronting the people, Is how to keep the schools open, with the speeches of the Sales Tax opponent. All agree It would be terrible to close the schools, but apparently not near ly as much so as compelling a non taxpayer to contribute something towards their support. The way to Insure the passage of a Sales Tax In this commonwealth Is simple but cruel. Close the schools next fall, and keep them closed. By the time the kids have run wild tor six months, or their parent have been so busy watching them they had no time for bridge, golf, relaxation, or anything else, Papa and Mama will know how to vote without anybody telling them. This will be such A convincing argument, that even the grange master can't talk himself around It. As long as tricks are used to defeat the sales tax, a better one might as well be used to make It victorious, s ANTS IN MV PANTS (San Dleso, mi., sun) "ANTS IN MY PANTS. That's what's the matter. Bo I am going to ell my seven-room stucco Spanish hack. The ants are getting me down. They come In the windows and mess with my personal belongings. I fesr they will attack me at any moment, so will sell out for a Chinaman's song. All the furniture goes with The Darrow Report CLARENCE DARROW condemn the N.R.A. while General Johnson and Donald R. Richberg, director and general counsel of the N.R.A. condemn Clarence Darrow. The fat in in the fire. With this report, the national recov' ery review board, of which Mr. Darrow has been chairman, will pass out of the picture, and with it Mr. Darrow as far as his official connection with the Roosevelt administration is con cerned. But while the song is ended, the discord will linger on. Through the summer and until the fall elections, the people of this country will hear a great deal more of the famous (or infamous) Darrow report. It will place the administration on the defensive, and from it the Republicans will draw political ammunition for their anti-Roosevelt barrage, Not that the Republicans will agree with the recommenda tions of the Darrow board. -Far from it. Darrow maintains N.R.A. fosters monopoly and oppresses the "little fellow"; and he recommends "socialized, and collective ownership and control of industry, followed by a planned use of America's resources.' This isn't the Q.O.P. idea.' Darrow condemns N.R.A., not because it goes too far to the left, but because it doesn't go far enough. He represents the radical view. Republican opposition comes from the other side of the fence entirely, opposing N.R.A enough; the latter because it goes too far. But both oppose this element of the New Deal. As a result. though not in agreement, they wilf be united in opposition, and thus the administration will be subjected to a withering cross fire. Politically it is the most severe blow, President Roosevelt has received since his inauguration over a year ago. Strange Bed Fellows VTES, politics makes strange bed fellows. Here we have the raditals of the country, joined with the ultra-conservatives, in opposition to the New Deal, but for reasons diametrically opposed. The former because the proposition doesn't go far encough ; the latter because it goes too far. General Johnson was quick to seize upon this inconsistency, and take advantage of the political opportunity afforded. Said he : "Stripped of Its shadowy verbiage the Darrow report means that the choice of the American people ta between Fascism and . Communism, neither of which carr be espoused by anyone who believes In our democratic Institutions of self government; nor can any public official who ha taken an oath to defend the constitution of the United States adopt or officially advocate such a program." Quite true. As the Mail Tribune has maintained many times, if the Roosevelt program fails, there are only two alternatives, Fascism or Communism. Mr. Darrow believes it has failed. Messrs. Johnson and Richberg naturally believe it has not. There the issue is closed. Who is right! It will take a wiser prophet than this paper affords, to say. But we agree with Johnson and Richberg to this extent. We DON'T BELIEVE the time has eome to deolare that the New Deal has failed and something radically different must be tried. We believe the experiment needs a further test and more time. And one reason for this belief is what we know of Clarence Darrow. Personal Health Service By William Brady, M.D. Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene not to dis ease dlagnoals or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady If a stamped clf-addressed envelope Is enclosed. Letters should be brief and written In Ink. Owing to the large number of letters received only a few can be an swered. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to Instructions. Address Dr. William Brady, 265 El Camlno, Beverly Hills, Col. OR. WILLIAM BRADY IS NOT INTERESTED, i - 'i ( j 1 very little while I find some quack or nostrum monger pirating on my name or my teachings or using with out my knowl edge or consent, lefl sometning i nave written, usually so garbled or de tached from con text as to seem to endorse or ap prove the faker's scheme. Cult heslers In the small towns out west have been particularly i noylne In this form of theft. Some of them have boldly announced to the gullible pub lic tunc wiey employ the method Dr, Wm. Brady recommends or advises, tno in fact I would advlss any one who troubles to Inquire that such quacks are never trustworthy. If aocwr is not so good, be has to toot his own horn In order to attract new suckers, and the suckers have to pay iw vne norn looting, ox courss. roaay comes an Illustrated clrcu lar from the manufacture of a line of nostrums for dumb doctors to sell the public. I am ashamed to say that in tne regular profession we have good many doctors whose education was neglected. They don't know how to write prescriptions. Their In structors In medical school were so busy with the care of the various weird machine that feature modern medicine that they lust skinned the elementary subject of therapeutics. So tne conegiate fop they turn out of the medical school today has to depend on the ready-made Junk provided by these "ethical" nostrum manufac turers In lieu of a prescription to suit the requirement of the Individual case. This pretty pamphlet that arrived today has a halftone view of a couple of parasitical "executlvea" In confer- encce over i glass-top desk. The head man Is blowing a bubble that savs This Is Important news, Dr. Kirk. I should think every physician would be Interested." And the tough look ing bird who takes the role of "Dr. Kirk" bubbles his answer: "Dr. Wil liam Brady would be, I'm sure. I'll write him today." As I failed to receive the promised letter I am taking this mesne of warning any doctors who might be "interested" that If I learn of a doc tor prescribing the nostrum I'll ad vise the victim to throw the stuff In the garbage can and change doc tors. This nostrum maker employs the familiar dodge of gents In his line he prints a lot of testimonials which he credits to physicians, but for somo strsnge reason' he does not divulge the Identity of the physicians. In view of the brazen cheek of the beg- hjar In using my name to give his nos trum sn air of respectability, this squeamishness about making known the names of the physicians who, he would have us believe, prescribe or use his nostrum, Is funny. Is It not? It's Just sn old Yankee trick. The circular bears the Insignia of the NRA, and I suppose the head man in the racitet Is an elder or usher or something In some highly respectable church, and can furnish, If required, excellent bsnk references and all that. Nevertheless Dr. William Brady begs to Inform this humbug and any medtcal men who may be Just too credulous that he is NOT Interested In the promotion of nostrums, popular or exclusively doctors' nostrums. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Healthful Exercise. Is a vigorous game of tennis In hot weather the type of exercise thst uses up stored energy and is harm ful for a girl 25 yeara old? A. A. Answer It Is fine exercise for such a girl. Of course any exercise uses some stored energy. Your question im plies some misunderstanding of the physiology of exercise. Precipitated or Prepared Chalk. What benefit Is there in taking a teaspoonful of precipitated chalk in a glass of water once a day? Heard about it at a psychology lecture. Mrs. P. W. L. Answer A quack "psychologist's ' show, you mean. Calcium carbonate Is the chemical name for chalk. In medicine chalk la especially purified for Internal use, and the purified cal cium carbonate is called precipitated or prepared chalk. It Is a useful antl- acid, preferable to soda, magnesia ana other alkalis. Send a dime and a stamped envelope bearing your ad dress for booklet "Guide to Right Eating," which gives Instructions for lta use. Meantime, be on guard against the miracle men who hit town every so often with their "psychology" lectures and similar bait. Castor Oil for Warts.

In the article you say that certain Washington, D. C, officials were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Martin, and that Mr. Martin was a member of the local airport radio force, which Is incorrect, as you are well aware. To your knowledge, I arrived In Medford, Oregon, February 10, 1929, in charge of department of commerce radio facilities, aeronautics branch, and have been here continuously since that time in charge of the gov ernment radio stations. Furthermore, you are aware that I am the husbsnd of Henrietta B. Martin, and I wish to Inform you that I am proud of the fact. I also wish to correct the statement regarding W. F. McBrlde. Mr. McBrlde is first assistant to Mr. Rex Martin, chief engineer, aeronautics branch, department or commerce, Washington, D. C, and is in no way connected with airports, as was so stated in the Mall Tribune. Sincerely, R. A. MARTIN, Radio Operator In Charge. Medford, May 17. Ed Note: So that our readers may Judge as to whether or not there was any SERIOUS misrepresentation in the article In question, It la reprinted as follows: W. P. McBrlde of Washington, D. O., assistant airport engineer; L. P. Applegato of Washington, D. C, slstant superintendent of CWA con structlon of airports; W. McKlnley of Washington, and Dan O'Neill on tour of the district, were guests of Mr. Martin on a fishing trip to Rogue river. The fish caught were cooked by Mrs. Martin. The visitors were highly Impressed with the valley. Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. ANOTHER primary election c( and gone.

D., 265 B. Ca mlno, Beverly Hills, Cal. Has the New Deal Failed? . sOLARENCE DARROW is an old man, cynical, tired and dis- illusioncd. He has been a fighter for the underdog all his life, and his conviction there is something incurably rotten in Donmark, has been too firmly crystalized, these many years, to be readjusted now. He has a great mind, but it has never been a judicial one. Ho is now, and always haB been a violent and uncompromising partisan, convinced of the stigma of original and inourable sin, as far as Big Business is concerned. His underlying social and eoonomio philosophy is well ex pressed in the following excerpt from his roport ; "Pair competition Is merely a resounding and Illusory phrase. All competition I savage, wolfish and relentless and can be nothing else. One may as well dream of making war ladylike, as of making competition fair." e This paper doesn't believe that, And of course we know the Roosevelt administration doesn't believe it. For if that is true, then nothing can save this country but the destruction of com petition, which would menn EVENTUALLY socialized owner ship and control of ALL industry i.e. socialism, communism, or whatever one wishes to term the overthrow of the capitalistic system. THIS paper believes thore is another and a better way out. We beliove the competitive capitalistic system can be re tained, and so controlled and regulated, that its abuses will be eliminated; and its obvious advantages preserved. Only In the past year we beliove there has been a great change in the attltudo of what is known as Big Business. Wo believe in the next few years there will he an even greater change. Not that we expect the millcnium. Nor that we expect a sudden transformation in human nature. But we do expect a REFORMATION, a dearer conception on the rrt of all the pcoplo of this country, that the Old World is gone, and that a New World is here. And in this new world, we boliove what Darrow terms sav age, wolfish, relentless competition, will be replaced by a desire for material well being, sublimated by a sense of real social sorvice. Not because we shall all become angels, but because we shall all or a sufficient number see that unless there is a New Deal and a REAL ONE what we have oome to know as civilization is doomed. In other words the compelling force behind this peaceful revolution will bo self interest but it will at last be an EN LIGHTENED self interest.

I am sending In correc tions to an article headed "Alrwaya Officials Enjoy Fishing Trip." appear- from the Darrow findings In a mi nority report. This member, John F. Sinclair, now resigned, denounced the conduct of the majority and labeled its findings as "at times misleading and unreliable.' Sinclair urged the president to ap point an "ably staffed, non-polltlcal board" to act for the protection ox small, Independent business which he deemed, in several respects, endan gered under the codes. The NRA Itself, In a reply to the review board, which was made public simultaneously with the report, de fended Itself in language as plain as that of the Darrow document. The NRA administrator. General Johnson, said: Good Faith Challenged. "A more superficial, Intemperate and inaccurate document than the re port, X have never seen. In my Judg ment this board has missed a great opportunity for a real public service, As It Is now acting, tt Is of no service to anybody it Is a political sounding board. In view of Its fixed preju dices and partisanship and Its unfair methods of taking and reporting tes timony, the conclusion Is inescapable that the board Is not proceeding In good faith to fulfill Its public obliga tions. "Its continuance as an agency of government would enable It to pro mote private purposes at the public expense, and in my Judgment, would Impair seriously the usefulness or the national recovery administration. Agrees With Sinclair. NRA took no public issue with Sin clair's minority report, and Johnson gave out today correspondence be tween himself and Senator Borah of Idaho, and Nye of- North Dakota, which showed the administrator In partial agreement with the minority member's view. To Borah he had written last De cember In explanation of his desire for a review board along lines sug gested by Nye : "However devoted and high minded our personnel may be, It must be made up of men trained in Industry and dependent on Industrial employ ment for their continued living. The Influence of Immense industrial units Is so great that It at least has power to intimidate even the strongest man, who Is so dependent: "But there are people In this coun try whose standing rests not in their dependence on. but In their depend ence of, this Influence. The senator's suggestion, therefore, appealed to me as the missing piece In this organization." Reactions Awaited. The reactions of the two Indepen dent senators to the Darrow views arc awaited almost as keenly as that of the White House. Nye personally had nominated the board's personnel, after refusing to head the agency In person. Despite the general finding for so cialism, the board. In one connection. held restoration of tne anti-trust laws. amended and Invigorated, to be a cry ing need. That la Borah's position, as restated In a letter to Johnson dated March 3: I am in full sympathy with the effort which is being made by you to deal with the problems presented by the NRA touching small business and the consumer. Need Trust I a its. 'Of course, as you know, I feel that you cannot accomplish what you wish to accomplish until we restore the anti-trust laws. But, nevertheless. anything that can be done, you will have my aupport." The major Darrow report consisted of a brief synopsis and general state ment of opinion, ending In an asser tion that NRA can't do the Job as signed to It. It contained, also, separate report on the code for steel, coal mining, motion pictures, electrical manufac turing, dyeing and cleaning, rubber footwear. Ice manufacture and coal retailing. In more or less degree It denounced all but one as oppressive and productive of monopoly, and It proposed radical changes in most. The cleaning code was pasced without recommendation on the feeling that "no appreciable results could be ob tained by amending the code." lot of wasted effort. Borne day, In all probability, we'll make one election serve for tne present two, thus saving both money and mental wear and tear. 01 Vfei Rufus Holman attempted, more or lees possibly, to capitalize enough dis content to get himself nominated for the governorship in a field of five It was a field of seven at the start but failed. Republicans who feared Holman cast about frantically for a time for somebody to concentrate on, and finally settled on Joe Dunne. This antl-Holman concentration nomi nated Dunne decisively. THE Democratic side of the fence, Willis Mahoney sought actively to capitalize enough discon tent to be nominated In a field of two. He failed. He failed, In this writer's Judg ment, for two reasons. In his capi talization of dlsoontent, In his prom ise of anything and everything that might win votes at the moment, lie went too far and aroused the fears of a large number of people who are neither conservative nor" radical who make up the solid middle ground ol opinion that is bo important in Ore gon, The other reason Is that he under took too soon to win high political honors. H A STATE where pioneer tradition 1 la waited to get dry behind tii ears be' fore aeeklng the office of governor. That was a little too much for the people of this state especially the conservative people of the Willamette valley and Portland. N KLAMATH COUNTY, where he la . better known than anywhere else In the state, Mahoney ecelved a majority of the votes cast. That la something to be proud of, and this writer ha an Idea that Mr. Mahoney Is proud of It. WHO will be the next governor or Oregon? Don't try to answer that question too quickly. General Martin demon strated a lot of strength on Friday. He Is credited, politically, at least, with securing the Bonneville dam, which will mean an expenditure of around SO million dollars of govern ment money. The people of Portland and the Co lumbia river country would be In grates If they didn't remember that and a mighty large share of the vot ing population of Oregon la located In Portland and along the Columbia river. BUT don't underestimate Joe Dunne. He la a colorful character, and right now colorful characters are poli tically popular. He Is a tireless worker, and he haa a charming personality. He la politically astute. And he snows Oregon. So dont lay any beta YET. ANOTHER Interesting point: The Isat tme it was voted on the sales tsx lost four to one.
