In order to sava time, work, and

we will clip a few gems from the
"Sips for Supper" department, con

esteemed Salem Capital-Journal. Mr.
Upjohn deals with some of the vital
Issues of the day as follows:
"In commenting on the picture of
Joe Dunne," writes In one of our pub
lic, "how about Poxy Grandpa, a
comlo sheet character of past years."
Doggone If that Isn't Just It. We
knew that face reminded us of some
thing or somebody, but couldn't fig

Joe had advertised himself aa father

himself aa mother of the law. Or

As to Humor and Common Sense
AN interesting book entitled "The New Dealers, H by the
"unofficial observer" closes with the intimation that the
New Deal will win because the New Dealers have "common
sense and a sense of humor."
Part of this statement we believe to be true. President
Roosevelt and his chief assistants; undoubtedly have common
sense, and a sense of humor.
But to give these qualities as a cause of victory strikes this
column as a "non-sequitur."
If the New Deal wins, it will win because it is RIGHT not
'because of the mental and temperamental qualities of its leaders.
It will win becauso it will prove to be something this country
needs and its people want something to make this country a
better place in which to live for ALL the people and if this
does not prove to be the outcome, then it will fail and go the
way of other idealistic but impractical efforts of social and
economic reform.

And with the element of time so important in the recovery1

authority to change the tariff at will in making trade agree

Democrats have favored the move ; and all the Republicans, in

' For page after page the always reliable Congressional Record
records this debate, with all the "pointing with pride", and the
"viewing with alarm", and, save the mark, NOT A SMILE

NOW if the senate chamber were not completely insulated
against both common sense and a sense of humor, this silly
farce would not be allowed to continue.
Common sense would say, what everyone knows is true:
"this measure is going to bo passed anyway, why waste valuable
time talking about it. Let's vote, get it over with, and go on to
something that isn't similarly cooked and dried."
But does anyone suggest thisT Not for a minute. On and
on they go, each and every member insisting upon having his

But figuratively speaking that is what the Democrats have
been doing throughout this debate. :

tion be p'assed to uphold the Democratic tradition, and redeem
the platform plodges "give the president not only what he
asks, but what the economio welfare of this country demands,
etc, etc., etc,
Yet these SAME Democrats or many of "them only a few
years ago, opposed granting far LESS autocratic powers on the
matter of tariff making, to President Hoover, and employed
practically the same terms that the Republicans are now em
ploying to defeat that effort.
No functioning senso of humor could go through a panto
mime like that without breaking
the painful truth is whon these

upon whose ox is gored. Why do the Democrats try to deny,
that they opposed giving President Hoover extended tariff
powers because he was a REPUBLICAN ; and they favor giving
President Roosovelt' even greater powers becauso ho is a
DEMOCRAT.
That would not only have the

But this is never done or at least never has been.

too bad, for of course there is no

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Soda.
Please send me a list of foods con
taining soda. (J. S.)
Answer Beans and peas to which a
cook has added some so they'll seem
more tender. I know of no foods that
naturally contain soda. If you mean
the element sodium, life Is too short
to bother about that. There Is more
or less sodium In every Item of food
you can eat, except unimportant
chemically processed Items such as
sugar and starch.
Syhpllls.
Can syphilis be.oontracted via dish
es, food, towels, etc. . . . ? (C. N. Y.)
Answer Possibly, but not probably.
However, syphilis in the primary or
secondary stages may be contracted
thru ordinary personal contact, or by
kissing or thru the common use of
personal toilet articles. Send a stamp
ed envelope bearing your address and
ask for monograph on syhpllls.
Nonsense.
Mother la 73. She haa high blood
pressure, which is said to be the cause

tion. Too much meat haa nothing
whatever to do with high blood pres-,

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
T"AKE this for what It Is worth:
A Berale Head, newspaper contact
man press agent Is the crude term
usually employed for Al a. Barnes'
circus, says business Is picking up.
The crowds started coming, he says,
as soon aa the circus started out
thla splrng, and attendance from the
very beginning 'has run from 40 to
60 per cent ahead of last year.
11THAT does that mean?
TV It means, undoubtedly, that
people are a little easier In their
minds that they no longer balk at
spending a little money for enter
talnment.
That Is to say, they no longer feel
that the dollar In their pockets may
be the laat dollar they'll ever be able
to get, and so must be guarded like
life Itself.
IT IS that feeling, you know, that
the dollar in your pocket may be
the last dollar youll ever be able to
lay bands on that makes times hard.
In good times you don't worry
about spending a dollar, for you're
pretty sure you'll be able to get hold
of another to take Its place. But In
bad tlmea you're NOT sure. So you
hang onto the dollar like "grim death
to a sick nigger," aa they used to
say back where thla writer grew up.
When money quite moving, PROS
PERITY DIES.
C-OB the first nine months of 1939,
A Bernle Head savs. circus atend.
ance was good, but it went into a
tall spin right after the big crash In
October of that year.
The stock market crash, you see,
made people apprehensive which la
fine, mouth-filling word meaning
"scary." So they began to hang onto
their dollara, saving them here and
there, where they felt they could
do so.
Circus attendance began to auffer
Immediately.
WE ALL know, we've been pretty
hard hit since 1939. The circus
business, evidently, has been in the
same boat with all the rest of us.
Back In the golden daya of 1939,
Bernle tells this writer, there were
13 big circuses In this country. There
are now THREE three railroad
shows, that Is; with a few smaller
truck shows scattered through the
East and Middle West.
From twelve to three Is quite a
drop.
A LOT of us have lost our Jobs
since those rosy days of 1939.
And again the circus Is In the same
boat with the rest of us.
Reducing the number of big shows
from twelve to three hss unavoidably
thrown a lot of performers out of
employment. Some of those who went
down with the shows that went out
of business, of course, have been
taken on by the aggregations that
managed to stay in business, but
the number of these has been rela
tively email.
Bernle estimates thst TWO-THIRDS
of the circus people who had Jobs
In 1939 have lost them since.
WHAT has happened to these per
formera whose Jobs are gone?
About the same thing haa hap
pened to them that has happened to
others who have lost their Jobs. Some
of them have gone Into other lines.
Others are Just OUT pitiful flot
sam on the stream of life.
But Bernle points with consider
able pride to the fact that rela
tively few circus people are on re
lief. "Circus people," he says, "al
waya have taken care of each other,
those who have Jobs sharing with
those who haven't, and they're doing
it atlll."
THE three big ahows that have
weathered the storm, he says, are
Rlngllng's, In the East; Hagenback
Wallace In the Middle West, and Al
O. Barnes, out here on the Coast.
Apparently, they're all having the
same experience this year. Rlngllng's
opened In the East this splrng to
good crowds, and the same thing
happened when Hagenback-Wallace
opened In Chicago.
Barnes, as already stated. Is play.

THE circus Is an old, old Institu

it tracks back to the very beginning
of Rome.
More important to ua of thla gen

which are coming to call the "good

Just a Drink of Water
To the Editor:
I wonder why that some of the
overseers on the SERA works feel to
ward the men doing the hard labor
like they would if they were work
ing a bunch of convicts; that they
cannot talk, or get a drink of the
water that the Lord put here for
man to cool the aweat of his brow.
Wry let your white collars swell
your heads so? You get your check
from Franklin Roosevelt the same as
the man In overalls. If it wasn't for
that wise and kind man, you would
have to "Root, hog, or die;" the same
as the rest (and I expect the man
used to "rooting" would fare the
best in that case).
It Is deplorable that anything made
In the Image of God should be so
Inhuman as to begrudge time spent
to get a drink of water. Our presi
dent would not wish It so. Art thou
greater than he?

Appreciation Is Expressed
To the Editor:
Now that the official count on the
sales tax vote is known, It Is In order
for the committee in charge of the
campaign for the sales tax in Jack
son county to 'voice a word of appre
ciation.
The state committee designated
Supt. E. H. Hedrlck and the under
signed as a committee of two in
charge of campaign activities 'for
Jackson county. Unfortunately, ill
ness prevented Superintendent Hed
rlck from doing what he wanted to
do actively in the campaign, but we j
wisn to assure you mis, mac irom
his sick room he was an extremely
valuable aid in wisely counselling the
workers and In giving us the benefit
of a mind quite capable of thinking
logically through a situation. In a
recent conference with Mr. Hedrlck
It was his wish that some public
thanks be given all those who helped
In putting Jackson county on the
side of the sales tax.
We wish especially to thank the
Mall Tribune as well as other county
papers for the fine editorial attitude
taken. We believe no paper and no
active worker In this campaign need
be ashamed of the methods employed
or the type of Information that was
put before our voters. We are con
fident, too, that a large percentage
of active Grange members gave ma
terial aid In presenting the sales tax
properly to their friends and neigh
bors. I
A vote such as Jackson county
gave the sales tax could come only
from an Intelligent and correctly in
formed citizenry, and to this factor
the committee wishes to give due 1
credit.
Very slncerly,
C. R. BOWMAN,
County School Superintendent.

A Good Idea
To the Editor:
The election is over and now Is
the time when all defeated candi
dates should cast aside any personal
animosities they may feel and show
themselves to be good sports, good
citizens and good party men by of
fering congratulations to their suc
cessful opponents.
Por my part, I wish to take this
time and method to extend my
heartiest congratulations to Mr, An
derson, my recent opponent In the
Democratic race for constable. I wish
