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.

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

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? What

CAUGHT WITH THE PORES OPEN
How about It, Doc, asks A. L. F,
Inclosing a clipping which tells how
man was poisoned by the spray
which he was

plants, on a Fri
day. The man
was better on
Saturday, and Dr.

would probably
be released in a

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

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.

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

the night the child was lost may have
saved the child's life, for he believed
enough water could have entered the

teU you there are pores In the skin.
Find a textbook of anatomy or his

substance Is absorbed through the
unbroken skin and I'l publish an
apology for having attempted to mis

heavens sake, don't cite some long

without frankly saying so, that In I
some circumstances certain chemlcV.s
or poisons may be absorbed through

either Inhaled It or actually swat

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

URBANA. 111. (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. It is now
increasingly a problem of the state
