Speedy justice Is claimed for the two young men who were convicted and sentenced 40 hours after they robbed some fraternity houses at OBC. This Is not very fast, when one re members the transient, . who last spring robbed a Douglas county bank Just before noon, and ate his supper In the penitentiary.

No more Interesting cussea have loomed upon the horizon of events In a long time than the Dean Bros., baseball pitchers, drawing pfty from the St. Louis Cardinals. They are generally supposed to be greenhorns of the lowest variety, and not men tally equipped to come In out of the jaln. They are nothing of the kind. They had half the nation cussing them, and the other half cheering them for their skill.

There la no season when sucn pleasant end sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October. The sunshine is peculiarly genial: and In sheltered places, as on the side of a bank, or of a barn or house, one becomes acquainted and friendly with the sunshine. It seems to be of a kindly and homely nature. And the green grass strewn with few withered leaves looks the more green and beautiful for them. In summer or spring Nature Is farther from one's sympathies. (Hawthorne: American Note-Books. Oct. 7, 1841 The president favors a higher price level "to better conditions." and "ad Just the price of commodities."

Waterman yesterday celebrated W years of Republican misrule, ana Democratic defiance of commonsense e Pumpkins are still loafing around In the fields waiting for the frost to get on them. Upstate letter writers are now bom barding the editorial pages of the Oregonlsn and Journal, with caustic comment on the great stiff fcic.ry of lawyers, As often remarked In i:iese parts, there Is nothing so useless as a lawyer, until a need for one arises, and then how you need him. There seems to be no way to get along witn the profession, and no way to get rslong without them. Even the cur rent surplus beats the once flourish In local plan for every man to he his own lawyer, and render his own judlcis! decisions, on whatever cor ner he happened to be cussing. Under this system there mould never be any losers In a lawsuit, which Is the cause of all the disgust with the legal pro fession, j The Anti-Martin Campaign D ROB ABLY the best evidence of .General Martin's exceptional fitness for the job of Governor is the campaign against him. It is reasonable to believe the Dunne supporters have said EVERYTHING they CAN say against the former congressman. Yet what is the sum and substance of the G-O.P. indictment ? Briefly this: That the General is too old; that he knows nothing about the state or its problems; that he is a military man. A CCORDING to the latest information General Martin is 71. Does any sane person believe a man should retire from active life, at that age, if he is mentally and physically fit? What was Elihu Root doing at the age of 71? Or Supreme Court Justice Holmes f Or what is Justice Brandeis, at 71, of the U. S. supreme court doing now and countless others in public life today. Some men are old at 50. Others are young at 70, Does any one who met General Martin while here, or anyone now observ ing him rushing from one meeting to another throughout the state, regard him as only eligible for the Old Soldiers home? (Elect him Governor and find outl There will be a bigger housecleaning and more action in the state house than there has been in 20 years.) DUT the most amusing feature of this charge is that "Airflow Joe" himself refutes it. Mr. Dunne while in Medford frankly stated, (and it was very generous of him) that General Martin had made an excellent congressman, and had he decided to run for that office again would have been elected overwhelm ingly. Joe was only sorry the General had made the mistake of coming out for Governor I (Sic!) If General Martin's ago did not impair his usefulness to the state AS CONGRESSMAN, at 70, then why in the name of common sense, would his years disqualify him as Governor, at 71! Such a charge collapses completely, by the testimony of those who make it. SO General Martin knows nothing about the state or its prob Ani t nnnAvnl AT ai-fin liaa Kaon a ocirlm rtf C rr (tnn few ,rmai " v.. hlB aJtlT1 to prevent complex dehyd 50 years, except when called to serve his country, at home or ration, even though he found nn abroad, in peace or in war. No resident of the state has a greater love for Oregon or a clearer grasp of its problems than has General Martin. Is it reasonable or even SANE to believe, for example, that the thousands of Oregonians in the First con gressional district would send a man "WHO KNEW NOTHING OF OREGON OR ITS PROBLEMS, " to represent them and this state at Washington, not. only for one term, but for two, and that they should urge him to represent them there again?

F, Inclosing a clipping which tells how man was poisoned by the spray which he was fi,-. - using on potato plants, on a Fri day. The man was better on Saturday, and Dr. So-and-o said the patient would probably be released in a day or two. The Item goes on to explain that the man was poison ed by a solution of arsenic and nicotine entering the body through the pores of the skin. I suspect the reporter contributed the explanation of the manner In which the poisoning occurred. Physi cians are getting more cautious every day about committing themselves like that. How Is the doctor to know In such a case that some parlor prac titioner or other may not pounce on the thing and play In up in the pa pers as a humorous Item? In the same mall came another letter from a reader who Incloses clipping of a story about the rescue of the Connor child, and in this clip. pln another eminent colleague, th' head of a hospital, is quoted as a strong believer In pores. This savant makes no bones of It at all, but comes right out In unmistakable quotation marks, saying that a rainstorm on the night the child was lost may have saved the child's life, for he believed enough water could have entered the Infant's system through the pores of teU you there are pores In the skin. Find a textbook of anatomy or his tology (microscopic anatomy) that de scribes pores. Find any evidence at all that anything food, water, gas, air, medicine, poison or any other substance Is absorbed through the unbroken skin and I'l publish an apology for having attempted to mis lead the public about this. But for heavens sake, don't cite some long dead doctor or some slippery Ger man medical writer who Implies, : without frankly saying so, that In I some circumstances certain chemlcV.s or poisons may be absorbed through the skin. No fun tilting with wind mills. The man poisoned by the spray either Inhaled It or actually swat lowed some of the poison.

A ND finally General Martin is a military man. Well so was George Washington, President Hayes, President Garfield, President Grant, and as for ex-military men who have served their states admirably as GOVERNORS, the American Hall of Fame is packed with them. We don't deny there is a popular prejudice against military men in public life, and it is a prejudice this paper might share, if General Martin were of the stiff-necked drill-sergeant, "crsek-'em-down' type. - But he is as fnr from it, as the north pole is from the south. He is a man of unusual tolerance and intelligence, his sense of humor, is as keen, as his sense of justice is unwavering. He has a genuine and enlightened sympathy for the "forgotten man' as his faithful support and cooperation with the Roosevelt ad ministration has demonstrated. In short he is. hr this paner maintained at the outset, all in all the best QUALIFIED man for Governor this state has been offered in two or three decades. And yet, says the G.O.P. machine, he must he shelved in favor of "Airflow Joe" Dunne, because he is 71, knows nothing about Oregon and cares less, and pleads guilty to the charge that he has gallantly served his country in time of war! What an indictment 1 What a confession of weakness on the part of his opponents! water to drink But on sober second thought the doctor evidently decided to eass down a bit on that. Or other doctors, rushing Into print, thought well to temper the claim somewhat. One other doctor Is quoted as follows: ''He could have absorbed moisture through his pores when It rained and from the wet underbrush, but he could not get enough moisture that way " A pore la an opening through wliich something is absorbed or taken in. There are no such openings In the human skin. Don't take my word for It. Find a physiologist who wl'I QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Natural Breathing.

A MAN who has traveled widely enough and had Important con tacts enough to know what he Is talk lng about, said to this writer the other day: "The Southern Oregon country from the standpoint of business ac tivity, is one of the bright spots oi the Pacific coast this fall. People here seem to be doing well, and are generally hopeful of the future. "Southern Oregon is a good coun try." NUOTE that statement to the nexi person who pulls a long race and tries to tell you that things here are in a pretty bad way, and It Is doubtful If we can ever get out oi the hole we are in.

And because of shortages elsewhere, prices are far from bad. We who live in southern Oregon, in stead of complaining, should give fer vent thanks for our good fortune. ANOTHER man, who may or may not be a good Judge, but who obviously THINKS he is, said the ether day (He lives In one of the big cities, it should be explained, and has the typical big city viewpoint): "I was simply amazed when I ar rived here to see the number of well- dressed, up-to-date-looking women in your Southern Oregon towns.

(UP) Kicking the shins of the public schools . and snatching pennies from school chil dren no longer are the national In door sports. As the school year 1934-35 begins, most American com munities are bsglnning to wonder who suggested these games and why anyone ever thought they were such fun. It will take more than this awakening, however, to restore to American children the educational opportunities which were so badly crippled during the panic years. School revenues in 1934-35 will be even less than in 1933-34. Much patient and persistent attention wlil have to be given to Improving the machinery of general government a well as of education before the tiria can be turned. Burden Ornws In the meantime the school bur den continues to grow. For the greav majority of American boys and girls unemployment up to 18 or d- yond can be predicted for years io come. As a result. American high school enrollments increased 24 per cent between 1930 and 1934. Some of this Increase represented unemployed high school graduates returning fcr additional study. In the face of these Increasing school burdens It is predicted that school revenues In 1934-35 will be less In 18 states and greater tn only four states than the Inadequate sums available in 1933-34. The problem will be complicated further by decreased purchasing power of the dollar. This gloomy picture offers little hope for the school children of the depression generation. There Is ev ery evidence, however, that the next 20 years may bring such changes in taxing systems, units of governmen tn! administration, units of schco administration, and distribution of fvnctlon that far tetter and more efficient schools will result In the end. Efficiency Advanced In most communities the effic iency of local school administration has made striking advances during the past 30 years. With a few con spicuous exceptions, no parallel Ad vances In the efficiency of state pro visions for co-ordinating tha school program and equalizing educational opportunity have been made. To cor rect this situation will be a slow process. A growing body of school leaders Is convinced that some care fully safeguarded national plan for equalizing educational opportunities between states eventually will prove necessary. In these respects school recovery from the present depression differs from recovery after the depressions of the past. Where formerly the problem was largely local.
