DURING DECEMBER
"Poo-ee!
THE boys are a bit hard on John E. Cooler, the new speaker
of the house of representatives at Salem.
He is being lambasted on all sides for lack of leadership and
absence of authoritative control.
Such criticism comes with particularly poor grace from
members of his own party.
For John's predicament is partisan, not personal. The blamt
rests not on his shoulders but the shoulders of his party. What
could a poor man dot
at
FOR lo! these many years the 'Democrats of Oregon had been
deprived of state control and the spoils which go with it.
Then suddenly the bars were down and the hungry horde of
repressed Democracy, let loose.
One unsympathetic newspaper ufis'tate, compared the result
ing stampede to the spectacle furnished by a herd of hungry
hogs, with the gate swinging open and the. familiar cry of
"poo-ee, poo ee!" splitting the air.
Graphic, but somewhat unfair. A we view it, there was
nothing particularly porcine in the party reaction. The boys
merely behaved like human beings politically famished human
beings, who were suddenly admitted to a banquet room, where
the tables were fairly groaning with the good things, they had
longed for and been denied, for so long a time.
NATURALLY manners were forgotten. The outstanding ob
jective was to get there and get there first. A few black
eyes, cracked skulls, nnd torn habiliments, were to be expected
as a matter of course.
The wonder is NOT that Speaker footer, temporarily lost his
composure nnd his self control, but that he DIDN'T lose his
shirt, and seek sanctuary in that Willamette valley nudist
colony.
One should not forget lo continue our rural metaphor that
John was the farm hand at the pork barrel. A tough spot.
The problem was NOT to observe Roberts' rules of order, or
uphold the principles of parliamentary procedure, the problem
was to PREVENT, riot, mayhem and bloodshed.
This the democratic speaker did. True he passed out chair
manships too liberally to members of one party his own and
instead of miming one assistant scrgeant-at-arms, which has been
the established custom, he named EIGHT. He also authorized
two assistant door keepers, where one is too many; and four
pages, where in the good old days there were none at all.

OUT, we repent, consider the

but what deserving democrat forced to preside at the pie coun

were finally let down?
We doubt if anyone short of "Crack-'em-down" JohnBon,
"Cactus Jack" Garner, or Max Haer, could have handled this
crisis, with any less chaos, head punching and confusion.
At any rate the house of representatives still stands, a score
or more of supernumeraries were paid off today and are leaving
never to return. It even appears probable the legislature will be
able to get down to some serious business, tomorrow morning.

Most people know that goitre U a
disease due to lack of lodin in food,
water or medicine. It has been known
since early times
tjgjM that .scurvy la a
diaeaM due to
lack of fresh
food, particularly
freah fruit, fresh
vegeta blea or
greens. Modern
mother general
ly know that
rickets is a dis
ease due to lack
of rl&mln D In
the food. That
com prises the
common popular
knowledge of dlfeclency disease.
Many well defined disease condi
tion are now recognized as defici
ency diseases. Among them the prin
cipal entitles are xeraphthalmla and
nyctalopia night blindness, sometinvee
Incorrectly called hemeralopla); beri
beri or multiple neuritis; scurvy or
doctors call It, scorbutus; ricketi.
osteomalacia or softening of the
bones; pallagra; goitre and hypothy
roidism, j
Besides these definite disease con
ditions which are diagnosed by the
characteristic signs the physio: an
finds on examination or by charac
teristic changes in the organs or
other structures of the body, there is
a vastly greater number of less clearly
distinguished ailments, functional
weaknesses or health Impairment ;
which we have only recently recog- ;
nlzed as deficiency disorders. These
sre due to partial lack, insufficient
supply of the essential vitamin or ele
ment, as we can prove by the thera
peutic test. That means the physician
suspects the patient's complaint Is
due to Insufficient vitamin B, say.
and prescribes therefor an optimal
ration of vitamin B. An optimal ra
tion means more than merely the
amount which must be provided to
maintain health. The patient, having
been on an inadequate vitamin B
ration, logically requires a surplus of
vitamin B for a while, in order to
correct the trouble.
Now if any reader wants to know
how one can tell whether one nas
hypovitamlnosls-B or hypovitamluo-
sls-A, or whether one needs this or
that vitamin or several or all of
them. I'll save time and trouble for
us all by saying here that the only
way I know is to consult your phy
sician.

The robbers are finally cornered in
a field, and three of them captured,
one being seriously wounded In the

rather than be taken.
A LL this happens in one day, and
the happenings are scattered
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It
used to be the "wild and woolly
West," but now It sfems to be the
wild and woolly whole country.
WJOTE, please, that in every one of
' these encounters the officers of
the law came out decisively on top.
If that goes on long enough, there
will be fewer such affairs. There are
many reasons for crime, but one Im
portant one is the belief on the part
of criminals that It can be got away
with.

NEW YORK
DAY BY DAY
By O. O. Mclntyre
NEW YORK. Jan. 19 Tom Ger
aghty has a London address that
would be coveted by every writer. It
Is: "Byron's Hayloft, Hamilton Mews,
Park Lane. W.
I." The mews Is
a cake-wedge be
tween Park Lane
and Piccadilly
and the actual
hayloft where
Byron wrote his
last stutf before
leaving England
forever.
The house was
in front facing
Piccadilly and
the hayloft Is
broken up with
oiu miters ana skylights and has
many things of Byron's there. In
cluding books and an old sword giv
en to him by Sir Walter Scott. In
cidentally, Tom wrote "Latin Quar-:
tcr," the picture young Fairbanks;
and Gertrude Lawrence are making.
The Idea came from those charm
ing pen sketches In Henri Murger's
book an the Bohemians of 1030-40.
Prom one of the chapters "Lo Bo- '
heme" was drawn. So much gossip
from London at breakfast, I'm going
to swing the column to the other i
side for the day.
Cole Porter has also authored and
composed the raging hit In London i
and on the continent. A freak song !
"Mrs. Otis Regrets She Cannot Have
Lunch Today, Madame."' It was a ,
song he Improvised as a, gag at a
house party. A scout heard and grab
bed it far chariot's Revue. Now every
messenger whistles It.
Jimmy Walker's page for the Sun
day Dispatch Is taking on. It's most
ly profound comment with a soup
con of wise-cracks r.nd sprinkled with
a bit of American slang. He has never
been late for an edition so far. The
nostalgia rumors are bunk. He's
crazy about his cottage in Dorking
and has & small suite at the Park
Lane hotel.
Hannen Swaffer, the critic and
columnist. Is considering several of
fers to come to America for a time.
Although he has a slight Impedi
ment, he Is the high powered orator
at the big labor meetings. "Swaff"
dresses like the old time actor as well
as strutting like one. He says that
since there are no more good actors
I' w mJ I wL N- rl r r X f ""'' j
he must act and dress like one. He
ties into Richard Bennett now and
then for a stroll.
George Barnard Shaw, who used to
be a bit gun-shy of street crowds,
has now become a familiar figure
along the pavements, A confirmed
pedestrian, he glides along like an
American Indian. He walks every
! evening from his home in Adalphi
Ten ace to a club In Pall Mall where
he swims In a tank for an hour. He
is also seen In a hair dressing parlor
In Old Bond street once every week,
where he has his famous beard
combed, glossed and otherwise lux
uriated. Victor Schertzinger, ace movie di
rector, was fabulously represented at
the wedding of the Duke of Kent to
Princess Marina. At the formal wed
ding breakfast, Schertzinger's tunes
from "Love Parade" were featured,
and In the choice of films the Duke
ordered taken to "Honeymoon Cas
tle." was Victor's "One Night of
Love." O, yes, the princess added a
P. S.,to the order: "All the new
Mickey Mouses and Silly Symphonies
available."
Cord, the American motor magnate,
keeps a suite in the Dorchester the
year around and is the best known
"early riser" ever domiciled In the
West End. He frequently leaves a call
for 4 a. m., breakfasts a half hour
later, then calls up friends for a
motor trip in the country or a flight
in a plane he keeps at an airport.
The leading London movies In the
West End still bet 2. top. And one
Is lucky to get In if it's a good film.
Long lines coil for the unreserved
cheaper seats at 50 and 75 cents.
Chief reason for turnout Is poor ra
dio offerings. Nobody stays home to
listen. Vaudeville Is also back to pre
war standards. The King and Queen
still sit in their old box at the Pal
ladium and the Princess drop in al
most every week. Belle Baker Is an
outstanding attraction. All anxiously
await Blng Crosby, offered the big
gest pay In history of the English
theatre. But he cannot accept Just
now. on account of radio and movie
contracts.
Mack Sennett. who Is trying to
promote a London production, has
not read "Father Goose." the Gene
Fowler biography of 'Mr. Sinnott"
but has managed to look at the pic
tures. They like Sennett around Lon
don. Indeed, when he goes to the
Savoy grill they pilot him to Charles
Frohman's favorite chair, which
bears a memory plute In honor of
the producer. Joe Coyne, the Amer
ican actor, who played In the orig
inal Merry Widow is another favor
ite. They like us in perfidious Al
bion. But won't pay us!
