For example, until the lest few months, when Its disintegration reached the ridiculous stage, the New Deal hsblt was to classify sll those who fslled to laud the NRA as In favor of child labor and sweat shops. If It was suggested thst the AAA crop reduction policies had flop, ped and the drought had made a joke of them, the cry was raised that the criticism came from the "forces of greed," esger to grind their heels In the feces of the farmers. If the growth, grsft snd waste In the relief burden were pointed out. the deli cate reply was shot hark thst those who felt thst wny lived on yachts, drunk cocktails, ate caviar and csred nothlrvr tor the "stsrvtng masses." (Dm Moines ,1s ) Register). PrltM ami lrt tor Are Mremen. PHOOKUNK, Mhw (UPl A priest snd a minister have received com misiion from the Brookltne fire de partment. The clergymen, the Rev George M. Dowd, of Ht. Mary's of tin Assumption, and the Rev. William R. Leslie, of Bt. Mark's Methodist Ep'-opal church, will act as chap 1 111, w Why Elect a Governor? WE elect a Governor of Oregon because we at least a ma jority of us believe him to be the man, best qualified for the job. We then turn him over to a Legislature that proceeds to act upon the assumption that the duly elected Governor isn't quali fied to run a peanut stand, much less be chief executive of this state. General Martin was elected Governor less than 3 months ago by a surprisingly large plurality. The people chose him because they liked hira as a man, approved the general principles of his platform, wanted to see him have a free hand in administering the affairs of this state. But from the moment the Legislature opened, a majority of the members have apparently spent a large share of their time, trying to hamper and hamstring the chief executive, and throw just as many monkey wrenches into the Martin program, as they could collect. AT the outset of his campaign General Martin, told the people, that if elected, he would try to abolish or consolidate use less boards; eliminate duplication of effort and overlapping of authority; institute rigid economy in the antiquated system, of state administration. Naturally the Governor can't not given AUTHORITY to do them. But when bills are introduced giving him this authority placing upon him the responsibility for action and results the old weather-beaten squawk of dictatorship, is raised, and the Governor is accused of trying to bull his way through, with no regard for constitutional or popular rights. TOMMY ROT ! IP the Martin administration bills arc imperfectly drawn, let tit a imnerfections be corrected. But there is nothinif dicta torial or unconstitutional in them. They are merely measures en abling the Governor to do what ho wants to do and promised to do. What earthly use is there in ernor, and at the very outset of in a legislative straight jacket, Even a suspected felon is entitled to the assumption of in nocence until the reverse is proved. Is' it too much to ask that the Legislature, assume Governor Martin knows what he is about, until the fact has been demon strated that he DOESN'T? , This is no plea to give the Governor a carte-blanche to do whatever he wishes. It is a plea to give the man a chance in stead of blocking his program before it even starts. ' WE think it fortunate that Oregon Iihs, as Governor, a man who wishes in assume rpsnonsibilit.v for imnrovino- condi tions in this state, instead of one the buck to others. In the final analysis, this is all Governor Martin asks. , We are convinced the people of the state, as a whole, demand that their representatives at Salem, grant this request. He's No Angel THIS man Blantou of Texas fortitiirln. For n Tjon.fl.Sfnr in congress for several years and wants to STAY there, he ap pears to possess the fearlessness of a saw-tooth tiger. In face of the fact there are said to be 10,000,000 votes be hind the Townsend Old Age pension plan, mid the ultimatum from the eminent author that any congressman opposing the plan, will promptly be shipped buck to bis constituents with one hand grasping a lily. Representative Wanton rose in his seat the other day to remark : "I am advising my constituents that the Townsend plsn Is noth ing In the world but bunk, pure and simple, and tor them not to let him (Dr. Townsend) get any of their money." Supplementing this blunt statement the Texas Congressman, maintained Dr. Townsend and an army of hangers-on were liv ing in luxury at the Ambassador hotel in Washington and it is "the aged poor of the United States who are paying the bill." Townseud's profits from book sales and contributions from his misguided followers, continued the speaker, were $750,000 up to last October and have been even larger since then, eon eluding as follows : "la Dr. Townsend Interested in the nged people or what he gets out of them? At a later date I will turn Inn some interesting facta on this subject." As if this were not enough raw meat for one day, the in trepid legislator (in the same speech) proceded to take a swipe at organized labor and certain features of the New Deal as fol lows: "Now. ! want to mention another subject. Are we going to be able to spend our way back Into prosperity by voting and spending bil lions of dollars for our unborn posterity to finance and pay hereaf ter? Are we going to bring back normalcy in Industry, In business, In that way? I am going to say some things now that I don't believe another man in this House will say. I am going to tell you what I think. Some of you may think ss I do, but you won't talk as I do. If we would repeal that foolish law that Congress passed that took from the courts of the United States the power of Injunction to stop violations of law, to stop murder, to atop the destruction of prop erty, when labor unions are destroying and murdering, and If we would provide nafe means for all labor to work under, provide proper environment, provide, if you please, a proper wage scale, a scale that would permit living under the American standard of living, and then If we would write on every signboard In the United States that from now on the head of every business enterprise In the United states is going to be permitted to run his own business, according to law. and that if he wants to work men who are not union men he has the right to do tt If they want to work for him, and that no organlra ttoa in the world has a right to force hia workers against their mill to unionize. If we would do these things, we would restore business In the United States, and If Europe too, would wake up and adopt that policy, we would restore buslnesa in the whole world, because business won t be restored to normalcy as long aa you have some outsider running It. (Applause ) "Soma of you think you cannot make that kind of a speech and come bock here, but you can. I have been making that kind of a speech for 18 years. My district Is as thoroughly organlred as any other district In the United States, from the union standpoint, but most of the union men 1 represent are thinking men. they are men of intelligence, they believe that a worker has the right to Join a union or not to Join, Just as he pleases. And they do not like taking orders from others." Whether one ugrees or disagrees with the Texas Congress man's remarks, few we believe will withhold from him the trib ute of : "WHAT a maul" do any of these things if he is ' electing a Governor ANY Gov his administration, putting him and treating him as a suspect. who wishes to shirk it and pass certainly doesn't lack intestinal nolittnian. who hns IipM his sflat.

One ot the main objec tions raised by the entrenched surgeons and their hired mouthpieces was that It was "dan gerous" to Inject t r r 1 1 ants into vein. That was a theoretical conception, nut the Big Guns made their dupes believe It the wisdom, of experience. 1 Part of the agitation of the Amer ican Medical association crowd against the diathermy method of extirpating tonsils was based on the same old hypothetical Idea that electro-coagulation was "dangerous.' They even spun out the theory elaborately, pic turing the dreadful consequences of the formation of dense scar tissue which might conceivably seal in a focus of infection, and then whero'd you be? But again, the entrenched and desperately fighting surgeons were off on the wrong foot, too easily misled, I fear for the versatile Morris never has had any experience In prac tice to speak of and today the dia thermy method Is established aa an alternative for a major operation in aU handicapped patients, and as the method of choice for some of us who are not handicapped physically but Just don't care to be laid up In hos pital if we can avoid It. Right now the American Medical association Is furiously fighting against the threat of the ambulant treatment of hernia. More and more good reputable physicians, many of them members or fellows of the American Medical association, are adopting the Improved Injection method and obtaining a most satis factory result with It. The surgeons look with dismay on the steady en croachment of ordinary physicians on their preserves and they are willing that our great A. M. A. spend any amount of our funds to stop these Inroads on crude surgery. In one lengthy harangue against the ambulant method, broadcast by the American Medical association, some masked mystery Is quoted as follows: C. Prom a well known sur geon, also a past president of the American Medical association: "The operative treatment of NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre PALM BEACH. Jan. 35. Florida, far more then a lash of the hurri cane, dreads another boom. Natives inquire tremulously : "You don't think we are in for another do you?" They have not out-lived the horror of what Ed Sullivan calls "building up for a terrific let-down." There Is the first night nerv ousness of a prima donna ov er the hourly packed planes and the new crack trains that thunder In. Un used hotels are being refurbished and even new ones discussed. Breezy boys are beginning to talk big about real estate. Portent ious signs I Palm Beach, for instance, hears Henry L. Doherty, over Miami way. Is casting a speculative eye on aban doned hotela here. Lake Worth Is dotted with more private yachts than any time since the smash up. These uptakes warm yet chill tha Florldan heart. The past Is too young! And Florida Is determined to have no more flukes. Yet social columns balloon with dinner guest lists of several hundred and band-box shops, for several seasons shuttered, are pertly bright again. But steadying hands hold the reins. There Is not likely to be another runaway. A ghost of the astonishing days loom eerily on a promontory near by. Now known as Singer's Polly, it was Intended to be the hotel of ho tels called The Blue Heron. Paris Singer's millions were behind it. There would be 300 a day royal suites staffed with special servant, private solarlums and all the gor geous gadgets In keeping with the fabulous .era. Half-built Florida with the rest of the world took a nose dive. And the structure, now scrbrous from disease and decay, is a stark monument to an Insanity that prostrated us all. There Is healthy Jealousy between Palm Beach and Miami, a two hour motor drive away. Just as San Fran Cisco looks upon the bewildering growth of t,os Angeles with a sniff, so 1ors Palm Beach regard Miami as a bit blatant and gauche. Nice" to motor over when one Is 'n a Coney Island mood but really . . . With a patter of et ceteras. And Miami in quires: "Palm Beach? Where Is that? Will Rogers' off ear must have tingled today. Two gentlemen with crisply white mustaches that sug gested enormous flat-topped desks and nothing but a thin row of push buttons were discussing him under a sun umbrella. . One opined ht was the most influential ctttfen of the country. And the other screed Ilk a shot. Thus a one-gallused crotch-of-the-ereek boy becomes an idol among the silk robed of a private ocraa front. JO m hernia has been very satisfac tory aa there are few recurrences and practically no Immediate mortality. Of this account sur geons have hesitated to give up this plan of treatment and sub stitute any other for it. Fur thermore, treatment by the 'In jection method' requires consid erable time as It has to be re- pea ted at Intervals. For this reason too it la not suitable for patients who come from a dis tance, since It would require them to remain away from home for quite a while. If an opera tion la performed patients are able to return home in a com paratively short time." By "few recurrences" this unknown well-known means only one out of every 20 that's the chance of fail ure whether the hernia la treated by operation or by injection. There la Just as great a chance that injection treatment will fall to cure as there Is that the radical operation will fall to cure. When the surgeon speaks of "per forming" an operation rather than merely doing It, or operating, bs means, I gather from the synonym book, that the end Is nothing and the doing everything. That's what alls American surgery. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Trick Druggist Again. Want to make your fool proof cough medicine but can't get citrate of soda.

POOH! Pooh! AieUa! , We're all more or less normal people, and since tha world began normal people have been Interested In deedB of daring. Involving the risking of life to prove whether or not something could be done. And, since the world began, nor mal people have admired those pos sessing the courage to risk their lives to find out. ' AMELIA EARH ART PUTNAM wanted to know whether a wo man could fly alone from Honolulu to San Francisco bay, so she TRIED IT. Christopher Columbus, some 450 years ago, wanted to know, FOR SURE, whether the world was flat, as most people then believed, or round, as he believed. So he set sail to the west, In three small boats, In order to find out. Some three or four thousand years ago time gets hazy and Indistinct as we ' get that far back Hanno, a Phoenician, wanted to know what lay beyond the Mediterranean, so In a small open boat, with a few chosen companions, he sailed through the straits of Gibraltar and down the coast of Africa. He got back safe, and he must have had a great tale to tell. AMELIA EARHART, flying from the Hawaiian Islanda to the main land, had only the ordinary hazards of machinery and weather to contend with. Columbus and Hanno had to con tend with the hazards of the weather and the inadequacies of small boats. but With SUPERSTITIOUS FEARS as well. That was a frightful handicap.- IN COLUMBUSime, ft was pretty generally believed that .the world was flat, and that at some polpt far out in the ocean how far no one knew one came to the edge of the world, where the waters of the sea poured over Into empty space. It took real courage to find out, by actual trying, whether or not that was true. IN HANNO'S daytsuperstltlous fear of the unknown was vastly greater than in Columbus' day. Nobody In the then "civilized" world knew what existed beyond the friendly shores of the Mediterranean, and lively imagi nations conjured up some frightful terrors. , - So he took the chance and FOUND out! NOTE this, please:- ' Since the earliest beginnings of recorded history, the UNKNOWN has Inspired human beings with varying degrees of terror, and In their efforts to Imagine the unknown they have been Inclined to emphasise Its DAN GERS. But, more or less without fall, as the unknown has come to bt KNOWN tt has been found to be less terrible than It had been Imagined. IN THESE daya o considerable un certainty, the FUTURE Is quite unknown to most of us. and follow ing the habits of our ancestors we are Inclined to people it with terrora. Because we people the future with terrors, we lack CONFIDENCE IN IT. Listen: As, over the long years of the past, the unknown has become known, Its imagined terrors have uniformly either VANISHED or have been great ly minimized. So. you see. It is highly probable that the future, when we get Into it, won't be as terrible as we have im agined. EAGLE POINT GRANGE PLAY SATURDAY NIGHT EAGLE POINT, Jan. 2ft.(SpT) The play.

Lytle of the live stock division of the state department of agriculture. Lambs, colts, calves and pigs have a high death rate in winter, which is the direct result of chilling, said Lytle. Jugs, bottles and milk cans can be used In constructing practical and simple brooders, by filling them with warm water and placing them In a dry tub or box. Wide strips of flannel .should be fastened around the abdomens of newborn calves and lambs, he said, and fastened with safety pins. An occasional warm drink Is an excellent stimulant in cold weather. Decreased water consumption in winter, said Lytle. causes many aui mal disorders. The brightest and best-cured green hay should be se lected for winter feeding, and should be supplemented with grain. 4- Oregon Weather Generally cloudy tonight and Sat urday: rains northwest portion; no cnange In temperature; fresh and strong southerly wind off the coast.

I learned the ways of the sly gray squirrel, And learned the birds' sweet song; The flowers brighter bloomed for me, ' And their fragrance lasted long. The timid doe with her spotted fawn, Would stand end gaze at me, And the bluejay called in his shrill, shrill voice, From the limb of a nearby tree. But now I am old, no more do I roam. Among the tall green trees: No more do I smell the scent of th pines, . Nor breathe the pure mountain breeze. My path In life has taken me far Far away from those virgin hills, But they are ever my guiding star, To which my heart still thrills. When I am blue and the world's not right.
