The efficiency of the Oregon state police has finally bbecome o obnox ious, a move has been launched to re move It from politics, where It has never been, and place It under a com mission. Another little commission wouldn't do the state any harm, and be a step toward the Utopian day, when all and sundry will be either on a government payroll or a government pension. The proven Inability of the state police to look the other way at critical moments, Is the real reason tor present pestering and eventual abollsHment. by a legislature that has long deserved that end, Instead.

MEMBER Time to Take Bearings WITH the purposes of the New Deal this paper is in hearty accord. These purposes are mainly two: First, to restore material prosperity. Second, to have that prosperity, "WHEN restored, more fairly distributed among the people, as a whole. Sounds simple enough. But it is probably the most compli cated and difficult task that any government of this country has ever set out to accomplish. W ISELT, or unwisely, the tried and is still trying time. That is, instead of concentrating upon the. restoration of prosperity, and with economic health and vigor returned, THEN concentrating upon economic and social reform; it has adopted the policy of forcing reform and prosperity to go hand in hand. This may well be the wisest course. In fact, it may be, the ONLY practical course. But it has obvious difficulties, for business reform and business revival, don't hitch well together. It is rather like hitching up an elephant and a draft horse. Plenty of power there. But the horse has an inbred terror of an elephant, which renders any team play, impossible, and a run away highly probable. Business has an inbred terror of reform. I I OWEVER thus far, the incongruous combination has worked surprisingly well. A large number of far reaching and fundamental reforms have been accomplished, on one hand; and on the other, business in this country HAS materially im proved. But in the opinion of this newspaper the time for discontinu ing this horse-and-elephant combination has about been reached. In other words, in our opinion, reform should be sent to the stablo for a while, and business recovery should be allowed to go along, unhampered in single harness. By this we don't mean dropping the regulatory measures im posed, or beating any retreat from basic principles, we merely mean dropping those measures, which plainly have not worked out, retaining those which have, tive assurance than has been given, that for THE TIME BEING more radical changes in business practices, arc not anticipated, the war is over, legitimate business can now forget its baseless fears, and go full steam ahead. IITE believe such a pronouncement from the "White House at this time, would not onlv be a ereat thine for the counrrv. but a great thing for the Roosevelt administration. It would clear the atmosphere. It would in the end, make genuine re form, less difficult to accomplish, tion to be performed in an atmosphere of faith and public confi dence ; instead of in an atmosphere of fear and doubt. The Wrong Idea A MONG the socallcd New Deal experiments which we believe should be abandoned, is that of the government going into direct competition with private business. We referred to one of these experiments in' this column a few weeks ago, namely Uncle Sam taking up the business of mat tress manufacture. We doubted the accuracy of day before yesterday Paul Mallon paper, confirmed it. In its administration of FERA, the government is starting out to manufacture a million mattresses, in its own establish ment, using the unemployed on its pay rolls. Now that, we feel, is all wrong. The purpose of the New Deal is not to establish socialism, in whole or,ih part, it is to retain the form of government it will VORK. Toward this end, the firstiep is to revive pros perity UNDER it, restore social nnyeonomic well being, THROUGH its ESTABLISHED clian-Js. 4F IF the government needs mattr :-,cs it should purchase them from flirt rnrriilm. mnmifnn4i.i...

Why SHOULD tlio government take over part of tho busi ness of the mattress manufacturers t If it has the right to take over part of that business, then it has the right to tako over part of the furniture business, business ar.d every other business. t "ViViOUSLY that is not its those who happen to make an-; entirely unjust burden unon nnciple ami destructive in practice. pi IIS is one of the features of the New Deal to which we have referred in the past, as modifying our complete approval of it. As stated at the start of this article we are heartily in favor of it as a whole, and in thorough sympathy with its essen tial purposes. Wo believe a New Deal IS demanded; and Presi dent lioosevolt today represents the only hope of getting it. Hut when it comes to the government entering directly into competition with established business, as a BY PRODUCT of that New Dent, we lire absolutely opposed to that feature of it.

The patient, born in America of Jewish parents, was 33 years old, and bad been a heavy smoker all his life, or since boyhood.. He smoked about SO cigarettes a day. rir - He complained of extreme pain caused by a foul necroctic ulcer of the left great toe. Periarterial sym pathectomy had already been done by a sur geon, without benefit. The pa tient had received morphine in large quantities, with out avail. There was still some feeble circula tion In the foot. The patient was advised to give up smoking at once and absolutely. He was given salt solu tion Injections Into the vein. He was put to bed and kept there. Wet anti septic dressings were kept on the ulcer. Spontaneous amputation of the gangrenous toe occurred, and after thirteen months the loot was entirely healed. Surreptitious smoking prob ably accounted for the unusual dura tion of healing time. In reporting this case the physician reports a dozen similar cases, of thrombo-angltls obliterans, nearly all In young Russian Jews who smoked excessively. Many of them lost a foot or part of the foot from gangrene and amputation. One was of Scotch descent. He had a gangrenous ulcer near the end of the right great toe. He had adhered rigidly to "salt-free" diet and lost considerable weight. He began to gain In weight and strength when this diet was dis continued. I am expecting before long the first crop of one-legged women. The wishy-washy ones haven't been so phisticated quite long enough yet. It takes about twenty years to get thrombo-anglitls obliterans and gan grene. First there Is redness and pain In the limb for many months before any sign of gangrene appears. Better rest a bit rather than light a stinky whenever you feel weary, fagged or bored. It's easier on the legs. There Is no reason that I know of. why cigarettes are any more injurious NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By 0.0. Mclntyre NEW YORK, Aug. 23. It took an established trouper to inject the only real shot of enthusiasm the langulsh- fJT X I James Barton, best known as a song and dance man, performed the miracle by stepping Into Henry Hull's or nery role in "To bacco Road." Barton has for years been one of i the unpredictable i . stars of variety. working as fancy dictated but stop ping shows wherever he appeared. His delineation of a crumbling drunk has long been an epic of the halls, but few thought him a player of sus tained dramatic roles. Henry Hull had given such splen did account In the original turnip gnawing part that mar.; critics still think his play should have received the whatyoucalllt prize. When he was called to Hollywood It appeared Inevitable that the epic of poor white trash must close. No star no show! But someone thought of Barton. He went Into the role at the peak of the hottest weather, filling the. shoes of a performer who had singularly distinguished himself. And gushed a Jet of histrionic history. So much so, a major film firm Immediately signed him for stardom. Then there is Morton Downey whose thin tenor curling from midriff has been heard so frequently over the radio and at the cabaret. He decided also to change his pace, organized a band, varied baton wielding with a few ballads and has been clesnlng up In a tour of New England. And adding to his famous badge collection. There Is something wrenching about the revival of amateur nights In the cabarets recently. They bring out a thin army of those who, fighting ter rific odds, still hope. The women especially women who have passed the Rubicon without a map. Ana with tense effort and loyal rouge pot assembled all that was left of charm and youth with a kind of desperate gallantry.

Then too, if we are to Judge from the propa ganda, the Intelligence of cigarette smokers as a class must be pretty feeble. Certainly they are asked to accept some preposterous notions. It was astonishing to find a Scotch man threatened with the loss of a leg from excessive cigarette smoking. It would seem that he should have preferred a pipe. For that matter, any man with a modicum of charity In his heart ought to feel too guilty in throwing away at least a third of what he spends for cigarettes. What he throws, away, if Invested In a can ister of good tobacco and a small herd of pipes, would carry him along in fine shape, and think what fine things he could do with the other two-thirds of the money so saved. , QUESTIONS AM) ANSWERS Calcium Lactate.

Aa for myself I think I could spend a few thousand the first month Just getting settled In the average comfort, but I would be content with MOO for two people. And do a little budgeting on the year oasis. I didn't think two old people 80 years old could possibly spend MOO every month In complete Idleness. And furthermore, can anybody name Just on. old person who would be content with Idleness? No, of course you can't. Old people like to be busy.

Room for All The divisions will comprise home owners, farmers, labor, savings de plsitors, life Insurance holders, bond holders and stockholders. Members will be In two classes, those who be lieve In the principles but cannot afford financial support, and those who will say It with their pocket books. Answering reporters questions, Shouse said a prime aim Is to curb tendencies toward extreme radical ism existing in sections which he would not name. As to the new dealings, he expects some to be approved and others dis approved. The league. Shouse said, will not participate In the present congres sional campaigns. Broadly speakinc. It will operate in the manner of the American Legion, Anti-Saloon League and similar organizations which sup port or oppose specific policies rather than parties as such. Researches will be made, conclusions publicized. To Fight for Beliefs Roll calls will be kept. And, un less the overnight signs were wrong, the Liberty league will take a fight ing position for Its beliefs In elec tions to come. The presence of such names as Smith and Davis on the executive committee cannot be overlooked by such Dmocrats In congress as Sena tors Olass and Byrd of Virginia; Gore of Oklahoma; Bailey of North Caro lina, and others who have oppospd various Integral portions of the Roose velt program.
