Run for office and jou are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Just imagine what a howl there would be from the political enemies of Sheriff Olmscheid, if he had not announced, that $363 shortage in the accounts of his deputies office. There would have been an uproar, from Bellview to Table Rock, and front page screamers till the cows come home about the irregularities and discrepancies and deceptions, of th2 iniquitous Republican candidate. "Trying to deceive the voters, shielding a guilty employee for his own political benefit, refusing to take the people who employ him into his confidence," etc., etc. Can't you hear that old refrain t DUT Sheriff Olmscheid DID make the announcement Just as soon as a recheck of the special audit, removel all doubt that such a shortage actually existed. It might have been SMARTER politics to have kept the matter dark until after election. The shortage was, compara tively speaking, a very slight one. In all liklihood no criminal irregularities were involved. Had there been, the loss would not have been a few hundred dollars, but several thousand. Personal Health Service By William Brady.

Some fierce aouthwesters hsve blown over the vslley from the coast hills, piling up clouds, with the odor of rsin strong m any native oregonlsn's nostrils. But they were flukes, bllltts. Ssve for light sprinkles they proved false Even the recent equinox brought no downpourlng such as Isrmers anx iously looked for. Only snolher big bluff out of the southwest some lashing wind, some spattering drops It's a beautiful autumn. But the farmer can t plow and seed In his fall grain. The field of turnips he harrowed In, early !n August, hun t popped above the ground yet. Hie old cow pasture should be turning green. fJOWEVER, Sheriff Olmscheid is not that kind of a man. He regards a public office as a public trust. He believes whether a discrepancy exists in his office or some other office, whether it is large or small, the people are entitled to know it, the MOMENT the facts are established. ITe believes when there is any matter to be cleared up in putting all his cards on the table, and tHking the people he serves completely into his confidence. Instead of being criticized for this forthright and manly attitude the present sheriff of Jackson County should be most HIGHLY commended. It shows him to be an absolutely honest and upright man, a man who can at all times and under all conditions be trusted. v THE attempt now to twist and distort Sheriff Olmscheid's jannniinopmnnf. info .ntinrr a naflnottrtn iinnn - nn mn. mans name, is particularly reprenensinie. ine sheriff; was careful to avoid any expression that could be so interpreted. Naturally he had to state "WHERE the shortage occurred, and undoubtedly no one regretted more deeply than he the fact that it occurred in a department under the control of his most trusted deputy, Miss Olga Anderson, now deceased. But in this statement he went out of his way to make clear that far from questioning her honesty or capability, he was entirely convinced "further investigation would reveal the discrepancy was due to an error in bookkeeping, not to any more serious irregularity." Further ha EXPLICITLY stated that nothing -at the timo was definitely known, EXCEPT that such a shortage existed, which to any fair and. reasonable person would clearly show that the matter of'personal responsibility was something into which he refused to go I . s OUIjD anything have been more straightforward, clear cut Hill hnnnriltllf t An VPt. VtAfniiQA tliia ann,nnnnmaf Vior,.' pens to be made in a political campaign, all the political enemies Sheriff Olmscheid is fighting, all the forces in Jackson County who want to throw him out including Mrs. Henrietta Martin of the Good Government congress gather together, and start a drum fire of innuendo and abuse, supplemented by a Bob story that would be laughablo if it did not involve an incident so deplorable and tragic! Of course polities is politics. But we make the prediction that this effort to make political capital out of a trusted em ployee's death on one hand, and a courageous and honest action of a public official on the other, will as it SHOULD event ually make votes for Sheriff Walter Olmscheid, instead of tat ing them away. frankly, I hate the very thought of potato. The most tempting meal con ceivable completely ruined for me fllfTw... . A it, Juat as I get set to enjoy it, some miscreant offers me mash ed, boiled, roast ed or otherwise disguised Irish potato. There waa a time when I thrilled at the prospect of French fried po tato, but I have suffered so man' cruel disappoint ments in the futile quest for that delicacy that I decline to order 'em that way any more, unless I'm din ing at the Buffalo Statler. Oh, I have no obsession about It; I'll eat the skins of your baked potatoes any time. But somehow maybe there is an unpleasant association or two In my s unconsciousness I don't care for potatoes. Despite my personal dislike for po tatoes I feel morally bound to pay tribute to the Irish potato as a htph grnde food staple. Cooked ready to sat potato glvea on analysis 75 per cent water, 3.8 per cent protein. 0.1 per cent fat, 20.9 per cent carbohy drate (starch), 1 per cent mineral matter and 0.6 fibre, Compare that with the analysis of white bread: 30 per cent water. 91 per cent protein. 1.8 per cent fat, 53.2 per cent carbo hydrate (starch) and 1.1 per cent mineral matter, fibre 0.5 per cent. While It Is true that ceraln persons actually grow fat on potatoes, that Is not because potatoes are more fatten ing than bread, but because these Individuals happen to have an ex cessive fondness for potato and eat extraordinary amount of potato dally. A pound of white bread yields over 1200 calories, whereas a pound of cooked potato yields only 440 cal ories. Potato cooked contains more vitamins (A and C) than white bread contains. So It la no fancy or theory, but a scientific, practical fact, that when one haa to restrict the diet as for re duction. It Is better to cut down on breadstuffs and sweets and to take potato aa the main carbohydrate food. A slice of bread 4 Inches square and one-half Inch thick yields 70 calories and a ball of butter for lti yields an additional 80 calories. A medium size potato baked yields 100 calories, and a ball of butter with It an additional 80 calories. Two slices of toast 140 calories, and butter for the toast 80 to 100 calories. The items of diet which are chiefly responsible for excess fat are bread, cake, pie, puddings, crackers, cookies, syrups, candles, Ice cream, sugar, po tato. Potato Is the one to cling to when you are cutting down the ex cess nourishment for reduction or other purpose. In not a few cases the Item respon sible for the Insidious accumulation of superfluous flesh la sugar. The habit of taking much sugar in tea or coffee and adding sugar to fruit des serts, and nibbling on candy whea one Is not actually hungry, and In dulging In high powered sudaes ro other tempting soda fountain bever ages or dishes laden with sugar, la the explanation of much obesity. Animals in nature rarely become too fat. In captivity or domestica tion they often do. Not because they don't get enough exercise, but becauad they live naturally on food aa It grows, but tn captivity or domestica tion they are fed with more or leu refined food. In the instinctive ef fort to get what the body requires, they eat too much refined food, and grow fat. This is so simple it seems almost absurd, yet it Is, I believe, I the secret of the cause and cure of ordinary abeslty.

During his magazine editing days he could not b lured out of the city even for a week-end in the country. For years one of his longest Jaunts was to Washington, D. C. When he gave up his editorial task, he began to roam. and In 13 years haa been to every corner of the globe. If he stays in town more than & month he becomes crotchety and uncompanionable. His pockets are always stuffed with time tables and sea charts. From a lecture report: "He spoke at length and learnedly of cosmic raya, and suddenly turned to the topic or newspaper columnists. That's tilting talk to a higher plane, i (copyright, 1934. McKaught Syndi cate, Inc.) We all know that. The evidence Is before our eyes every day. But business Is better than II was a year and a half ago whether be cause of the Mew Deal or In spite of It we can't yet say. But It Is BET TER. IF IT stays better, well all be happy. None of us as going to quarrel with prosperity no matter where It comes from. ANOTHER thing: There have been violent politi cal disturbances all over the world riots and revolutions. But NON2 HERE. Perhaps the New Deal has had something to do with that. SO LET'S not s7artout YET to taka the hide off the New Deal an4 and hang It on the fence. It's too soon. Let's see where we're AT first.

O. Mclntyre can't rhyme, makea the most money of all. A comic cosmosl Conversa tion piece: "I can scarcely wait to get home to turn on Rudy Vallee." A State Bank? DO OREGON people want a state bank, such as Teter Zim- ......... ..u Of course it could be financed by taxpayers' money. Any losses through bad management would have to be made up by more taxpayers' money. With millions of public money required for original capital, and with added millions needed to make up for losses, by what tax system would nil the money be raised? There is a measure on the ballot to out the property tax levy to 20 mills and ultimately to reduce it to 15 mills. It is a staggering proposal, but it has thousands of supporters. Its adoption would paralyze higher education, starve the public schools and disarrange fire protection and police protection and other fundamental service in many cities if not all cities. With state, county, pity and school finances thus in confusion and possible chaos, would it be wiso to launch out with a state- owned, Mate-financed and state-operated bnnkt And with a state bank once in the hands of politicians, what! Tublic money loaned to finance the campaigns of a can didate, publio money in a state bank to become the plaything and partisan plunder of politics, the plan scarcely seems in viting in a state already so beset and embarrassed by taxes , that there is wonder on all sides of what the solution is to be. ! Andrew Jackson's exposures of tho old publicly conducted I ank at the national capital, the rovelnlious of how it influ- , enced legislation and carried on invisible government, would j seem to be a warning to all people to keep the bauks in private , control, under the eloe scrutiny and regulation of public i authority.

The auspicious movie first night of the season was the debut of Grace Moore's film at Music Hall. It flushed out the Diamond Horseshoe opera crowd in high hats and chinchilla and the biggest flock of chauffeur driven limousines since the dollar By FRANK JKN KIN'S A READER of this column said to thla writer the other day: "Why don't you say something about the New Deal?" By that he MEANT: "Why don't you take the hide off the New Deal and hang It on the fence?" WELL, there's a reason. Before proceeding to take hides off and hang them on the fence, this writer likes to be exceedingly cer tain that he is right and that the fellow whose hide is being taken off Is wrong. The right and wrong of the New Deal haven't been conclusively dem onstratedAt least to this writer's satisfaction. M INSOFAR as the New Deal under- takes to say that we can vote our selves right, it la wrong. There Is no doubt of that. WHEN It sayst or implies, that every problem we face can be solved by passing a law that the ! government can and will do every thing and the Individual needs to do nothing It Is wrong. When the government starts doing everything and the individual citizen nothing, national decay begins. WHEN the New 5eal says, or Im plies, that by - tinkering with the value of money we can accom plish aJl the desirable results In the way of creation of prosperity that In the past have been accomplished by hard work, self-denial and care ful planning, It is wrong. The New Deal, you know, has IM PLIED these things. BUT when the New Deal says we must and CAN secure a larger measure of rights, comforts and hap piness for a greater number of hu man beings. It Is on sound ground. Just about alt the progress clv.it zatlon has made has been brought about by raising the standard of liv ing and the standards of comfort, happiness, and security of the aver age run of human beings. One of the objectives of the New j Deal Is to do just that. It hasn't ! DONE it yet, but it hasn't had time, j We should give It time before we 1 form our Judgments as to its sue- j cess or failure. ANOTHER Deal is objective of the New to restore prosperity. Prosperity hasn't been restored yet. MrUIn ( Norlll lo McLsla, deputy United urates marshal, let: for Portland yesterday by Wsin.
