To block the Hooeevelt progrsm at tlie next session might easily be the eureet way to re-elect Mr. Rooeevelt In liw; the sureet way to defeat him 1 to let him defeat himself by being shoved by a huge and greedy ma jority into even wilder expenditures and weirder experiments; to wait for the uni'scapable collapse and the In evitable turn of public sentiment. There la much plnmlhiuty and con siderable logic In this argument, but It TBlses oneof two rather disturbing questions. Coni-edlng the certslnty of ultimate failure, and popular re action, the chief of these Is whether the country can wait that long; vhether by the time the popular tide turns there will be mu-h of a country le. to save. Thst. perhaps. Is too pea eunlsllc, but It is none the less true thst the fsi'.her we go in the present . ret Ion the tougher It will be to gel hark on the track.

IYER since the campaign started, we have been Informed by "those in the know" that Pete Zimmerman, the radical, table thumping candidate, is the "man to beat'' in Jackson County, Some of the more outspoken prophets have even wag ered, Pete will carry the county by a good plurality. We have been through too many political campaigns, to deny for a moment that the only certainty In any political campaign is its uncertainty. Baseball and horse racing can't hold a candle to politics, when the margin of chance is con sidered. Political prophets who cherish their reputations shonld be particularly wary this year. For whether one likes the New Deal or doesn't, there is unquestionably a "new deal" in the air, and in the minds of the people. Only a few of the die-hard politicians, fail to realize that as far as machine politics is concerned, the good old days have gone, and gone forever. The people may not vote wisely' this year, but they are cer tainly going to vote INDEPENDENTLY. The "delivered votes" the first week of November, are going to be as scarce as crepe hangers at a football rally. see NEVERTHELESS, this parer doesn't expect Mr. Zimmerman to lead the field over the finish line in this section of the state, or come near it. He may "go big" in Portland, and in some of the rural sections, where that old soak-the-rich gag has never been tried ; but we have too much confidence in the intelligence of the people of Jackson County, and their unhappy experience with radicals, to believe that a MAJORITY of them will fall for the Pete Zimmerman line. Moreover, it is so obvious to any person who cares to analyze either Mr. Zimmerman or his platform, that his sole stock in trade is a crude appeal to class hatreds and prejudices. If elected he can't possibly fulfill the promises he makes. For a governor doesn't make laws, he only enforces them. A gov ernor can't change the constitution, only the people can. It is all very well for Mr. Zimmerman to tell the reP'e that if elected he will follow the North Dakota example and form a state bank, increase the inheritance and income taxes, lower farm and property taxes, reduce the expenses of state government on one hand, and increase the bonded debt of the state on the other; but any school boy knows that without a legislature in sympathy with him, he can't do it. In fact he can't do anything. 'And any school boy also knows the next legislature will not be in sympathy with him, nor for that matter will a majority of the people of this state. For the people of Oregon aren't radical, nor are they inter ested in communistic experiments in this state. A majority of them could undoubtedly unite behind any of the other guber natorial candidates who happened to win, but never behind Zimmerman. SO WHAT would his election amount to! Briefly, to electing a Governor without a Legislature to support him, without public opinion united behind him, with only one stock in trade, continuing to make speeches against AVall Street and playing the changes on that old tune of how he would like to soak the rich. Iu short any thinking person will sco that a voto for Zim merman, even to those who believo in his platform, will prove to be a vote thrown away. For the man, if elected, simply can't do what he promises to do, and aside from giving encourage ment to the professional hell raisers, and organized Reds, noth ing constructive or worth while could be accomplished, under his administration.

Robert IVde was appointed chair man of a committee to uwt and Meteorological Report Men worlclng In a warehouse load ing trucks with groceries. The floors are all bare concrete. When a man weighing 173 pounds carries i box or bag weigh )ng 100 pounds he puts a h-rd strain on his feet. One way to ease the strain to a certain ex tent la to place a fold of heavy cloth on the !n soles to soften the Impact of the floor. Many of us have callous and this alone la a prob lem. I wilt appreciate any Informa tion you oan offer. (A. L. P.) In the first place a man should wear only broad, roomy square toed shoes. When the shoes are placed side by side on the floor the Inside sole lines should touch nearly out to the toes. A serious fault In many work shoea Is the outward flare of the In side sole lines. That Is an old cob- ler's custom and a shoemaker sticks to his last. Rubber heels, broad and flat, and the material called crepe rubber 1 excellent for the soles of work, show where the man puts In long hard hours on a hard floor. There Is a widespread belief anions workmen that a concrete floor la bad for the arches. It Is no harder on the arches than any other floor. Instead of a fold of heavy cloth In the Insoles an Insole of thick felt ce mented In the shoe and covered with smooth leather lnaole la more resv ful. Callus on the sole, where there ts no acute Inflammation or Infection, may be softened and wiped away by the use of the well known corn remedy, a solutlan of 30 grains of sail cyltc acid In half an ounce of flexible collodion. Paint the callus or co-n with this once a day for a week or 10 days. If the feet sweat too much, and the skJn macerates, this may be con trolled by an occasional sponging of the soles and the spaces between the toes with formaldehyde one ounce of the standard 37.5 per cent solution of formalin mined with enough water to fill up a half-pint (8-ounce) bottle. Wash the feet with tepid or co!d water only, never with hot water, and dry thoroly. then paint or swab the formaldehyde on, and let It dry In the air. One such application each al ternate night for three or four times will diminish the sweating. Later u.v it once In a week or two, as needed. Where the sweating la profuse and foul, formaldehyde la the most satis factory remedy. Besides applying It to the soles, the shoes should have an Internal bath of it once a week or so. Just pour an ounce, more or less, of your solution Into each shoe, swish It about to wet the entire Insole and the lining of the toe, and then drain It Into the other shoe, or Into all your footwear In succession. The socks, too, may be srtven such a ba'h in formaldehyde. It does not Injure cloth or leather. Of course shoes or socks so treated must dry out for a day, or at least over night, before you put them on. Better let them dry in the sun if any available. If there la actual weaXenlng or fill ing of the arches,' the economical thing is to go to a good physician for treatment, and don't try arch props 7,'ithout the doctor's advice. !

Under what circumstances la It ad visable to apply heat when a person has a supposed attack of appendicitis? (Mrs. P. W. F.) Answer Heat, preferably moist heat, Is all right In any case In the emer gency. The Important thing la to keep the patient absolutely quiet, give no food or- water or even medicine by mouth, and above all, do not permit anybody to give a physic before the doctor arrives. This should be the rule In any acute bellyache. Hardened Way in Ear. Please tell me what to do for dried wax In the ear. It la causing a terrible roaring . . . (C. B.)

Never In sert anything In the ear In the at tempt to remove such a plug of wax. If you can't have proper medical at tention, fill a fountain syringe with luke warm water, dissolve tablespoon ful of saleratus in It, and let It flow gently Into- the ear canal from a straight nozzle merely directed but not Inserted In the canal, as you ho'd the ear upward and backward with one hand. This may have to be re peated on several successive days to soft?n and wash out all the wax. The reservoir Bhould hang or stand not over a foot higher than the ear. (Copyright 1934, John P.

By FRANK JENKINS PRESIDENT WILLIAM GREEN, Of the American Federation of La. bor, asserts that the 80-hour week la the answer to the problem of the machine and the remedy for the na tion's unemployment Ills. Spread what jobs there are, he says, among those able and willing to work, and the bugaboo of unem ployment will be OTeroome. TIB ADDS: A A "Those opposing the 80-hour week offer no other remedy. I can only repeat the challenge I have mado before let them offer us something better as a remedy." WELL, he has the opponents of the 80-hour week on the hip there. When, because of lack of conft. dence In the future, or for any other reason, people are unwilling to take the risks Involved In going ahead with business expansion there are not full-time jobs enough to go around, about all that can be done la to shorten up the Jobs and spread them around among mora people. Either that or have a few people fully employed and comfortable and a LOT of people unemployed and mis erable. SHORTENING up the Jobs and spreading them around among as many people aa possible la what we are doing now, and It la anything but satisfactory. The short-time jobs provide Just about enough for a bare living, with nothing left over for the comforts and luxuries that people crave. We cannot, by any stretch of the Imagi nation, call such a condition pros perity, and It la prosperity that the American people want. i ' M THE trouble with the 30-hour week la that It la only a REMEDY. It cannot possibly be a cure. It Is like the morphine we take 1 In emergencies to ease unbearable pain. It provides relief at the mo ment, but It does nothing to build us up and make ua atrong and well and able to look out for ourselves. The danger of the 30-hour week. like the danger of morphine, Is that It may be habit-forming. We may fall In time Into the habit of work ing only a little and BARELY EX ISTING, instead of working hard and having real prosperity. THERE are Islands In the South Seas, you know, where in order to EXIST people dont have to wort much. They need no clothes, and only shelter enough to keep off the rain. The breadfruit tree provides food. There la no prog-re in these Islands, and no REAL prosperity.

But, If we are wise, we will think of It aa a dope of morphine, and will FEAR It, consenting to take It at all only as an emergency to tide us over something wo might otherwise be un able to get past. Above all, if we are wise, we will STOP TAKING IT at the first pos sible moment when we can get along without It, so that we may avoid the danger of forming habits that may wreck our whole future.

The growing and In creasing disgust over present condi tions in our county and the impend ing demand for law enforcement will make It Just too bad for those who continue In open violation of the law. I am not a prohibitionist, a church member, nor am T a fanatic, but I can see that unless abuse of the liquor law Is not stopped by the proper authorities, that my privilege and your privilege to the right to ft drink of whiskey or a glaae of beer when we might want It will be swept away in the return of tbe order ol prohibition. The present abuses of certain places selling liquor will also work a serious hardship upon re spectable places that do try to obey the laws.
