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

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.

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

QUESTIONS AVI ANSWERS
Ho line Tuberculosis,
After churning milk from a cow
that has tuberculosis, and taking out
tho butter, will the buttermilk con
tain sny of the tubercle bacilli? (C,
M. W.)
Answer The butter Is likely to con
tain them, tho I doubt any would
survive in buttermilk.
Flrt Aid In Appendicitis.
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.)
Answer It Is always best to have
the physician syringe it out. He can
show you how to do so, in case the
cerumen accumulates again. 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.

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.
There la only bare existence.

available for enforcement officer.
Would they act if given thl evidence,
or would they claim lack of time and
money to enforce the law, or would
the fear of losing aelf respect for be
ing called a atol pigeon hinder or
would they pass the buck on to a
higher up. end tell me to see Moon,
the Federal enforcement officer?
Are there five etilla in operation in
Jackson county that are turning out
bootleg whiskey, that could be easily
stopped? Here la a question for the
operators of these five stills and the
dlspenaora of their products. Do you
want to cease your operaton and quit
the aale of your stuff in dance halls
and public place in this county, and
nothing be aald, or do you want
your place of manufacture made
known, your name revealed, your car
and its license number all printed
in the paper? 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. It la hard for me to under
stand why those having the authority
to stop such abuses and violation,
have not acted In this matter beftve

The Scribblers.
(By Fred Alton Height)
When times are not so prosperous;
When there's a sort of slump
In every line of business
And dollars do not Jump
Into our jeans the way they did
In nineteen twenty-eight.
We yearn for consolation, so
We dig out the old slate
And scribble, scribble, scribble,
Our thought In verse and rhyme
In dreamy occupation,
Just to pass away the time.
The mental craving for relief
From worry and from care
To poetry instinctively
Turns us for solace where
We find the nobler thoughts of men:
Then on our humble slate
We scribble, scribble, scribble,
Striving to emulate
In words, the better, truer ways
Of thinking, and resigned.
We rise unto the skies and there
Find rest and peaee of mind.
