The Challenge to Liberty
"The United State shall guarantee to every state In this
Union, a republican form of government."
Article IV. Section IV, U. 8. Constitution.
In his latest syndicated article, Walter Lippmann raises the
pertinent question, as to whether or not this Bection of our
organic law has not been violated in Louisiana.
With some modifications he answers his own question in the
affirmative. From all he can learn, republican government in
that state has been destroyed and a Huey Long dictatorship
actually exists.
The acid test will be applied, he declares, when it is seen bow
the ruling powers deal with the opposition which is now organ
izing in Louisiana and whether a restoration of orderly govern
ment is achieved without violence.
In discussing this problem, Mr. Lippmann gives an exposi
tion of the privileges and obligations of a free people, under a
republican form of government, which is so clear in its reasoning
and 10 unanswerable in its conclusions, that we feel it is worthy
of quotation in full :
The dictatorship of Senator Long presents a question of prin
ciple about which there la a dangerous confusion In the minds
of msny who believe in democracy. The question Is whether
men must acquiesce In the overthrow of democracy If the dic
tator can obtain the aupport of a majority of the voters. I
believe there can be only one answer to that question. To
answer in the affirmative would be to reduce democracy to an
absurdity. It would mesn that today's majority had the right
to deprive tomorrow's majority of It rights. Who can make
auch a claim? Who will aay that a dictator may use free Insti
tutions to destroy free Institutions? That a temporary majority
may impose Its trsnslent wUl upon all future majorities? That
men may use freedom of speech to acquire the power to destroy
freedom of speech? That they may use elections to abolish
elections? That they may exploit the constitutional guarantees
to subvert them?
The Idea that a dictatorship may be established by demo
cratic processes Is a sophistry. It could be entertained only In
an age when men had enjoyed liberty ao long that they had
forgotten what It means and how It was won.
One can have respect for dlctatora who overthrow free liutl
tutlona by force and frankly say they Intend to rule by force.
But dlctatora who were elected, and then pretend to rule by
popular consent, though they have destroyed the Institutions
through which the popular will can express Itself freely, are
practicing an ugly fraud. And those who acquiesce In the
tyranny because It was achieved by majority rule are pretending
to be convinced when In fact they are cowed.
Free Institutions are not the property of any majority. They
do not confer upon majorities unlimited powers. The rights of
the majority are limited rights. They are limited not only by
the constitutional guarantees but by the moral principle Implied
In those guarantees. That principle la that men may not use
the facilities of liberty to Impair them. No man may Invoke a
right In order to destroy It. The right of free speech belongs to
those who are willing to preserve It. The right to elect belongs
to those who mesn to trsnsmlt that right to their successors.
The rule of the majority la morally Justified only If another ma
jority la free to reverse that rule.
To hold any other view than this Is to believe that democracy
alone, of all forma of government, la prohibited by Its own prin
ciples from Insuring Its own preservation. It la high time that
free men repudiated ao preposterous a doctlne. There Is nothing
In the principles of democracy which requires a people to aur
render democracy or relieves them of the obligation to defend It.
In other words the people of a democracy have g right
through the ballot box to change their government in any way
they wish, but they have no RIGHT to destroy it, either by
their votes or by force.
This is only the right of revolution, which is alwHys available,
but which no government can allow, without ceasing to BE a
government.

These deeply imbedded characteristics of the followers of
Jefferson and. Jackson, no doubt explain, why Congressman
alter Pierce, and his faithful followers, arc opposing the effort
of Governor Martin to extend the date of the primary election
in this state.
At least we can discern no other reason. The .Martin proposal
is a sensible one. It would shorten the primary free-for-all in
Oregon from five months to approximately two. The new pri
mary date would be the first week in September instead of the
third Friday in May. The ensuing campaign would be less
costly to the candidates,, and far less tiresome to the electorate.
DUT "Our Walter" likes to (alk. He likes to point with pride
and view with alarm. From his congressional seat in Wash
ington he maintains, that he could not possibly cover his district
in 80 or 30 days, even though, he could if he wished, travel
comfortably two or three times around the world in that time.
He regards this measure as
me ratno siaiions and newspapers, to increase their political
advertising, discourage independent candidates, and place an
unfair financial burden upon the

They resent rather than welcome such advances. One has only
to review the results of the last election in this state to grant
the truth of this statement.
Rut Walter likes to talk ami likes to fight. Not double-fisted

NATURAL VERSUS S
In the course of a letter from a
noted pediatrician and research work
er X am struck with this remark:
"Some of the
observations w e
make In animal
experiment can
be applied to bu
rn an beings."
There speaks ' he
physician of ex
perience. Altlio
he has done and
Is doing notable
work In the study
of nutrition, this
doctor still
gards clinical ex
perience ai the
best authority. Such a doctor will
not lead his patients in a stampede
for the latest "scientific" remedy and
then leave them there while he scar
ries off after some still later dictum
of subsidized science. I have listened
to the same pediatrician research man
describe, before the medical society,
his experience with one 'after anotner
vitamin D carrier for prevention and
treatment of rickets and how nlfl
faith In the efficacy of the synthetic
vitamin carriers diminished as the
purported potency of the remedies
increased, until at last he had come
back to natural sources.
S teen bock himself found that syn
thetic vitamin D (vlosterol) must be
fed in doses enormously greater than
the dose of natural vitamin D (In
food or In plain cod liver oil), to
produce the same antl-rachitlc effect.
We plodding practitioners scarcely
know whta It Is all about when the
manufacturer of synthetic vitamins
come a running with products of
seadtly increasing potency 250 units,
500 units, 1.000, 10,000 and so on up,
till we are dizzy with the wonder of
It all. But after they have given us
the run around with all the high
pressure scientific sounding hokum,
as duly approved and sanctified oy
the Council on Food and Folderol of
the A. M. A., thera comes a time
when we sit back and Inquire breath
lessly what's the big Idea anyway?
We suspect that one of the labora
tory Inferences or observations whicn
can not be applied to human beings
Is thla system of meaatirlng vitamin
rations by rat units. True, the rat
seems to thrive on a mixed diet of
the same character as that which
best nourishes civilized people. B-.it
there la little between rats and men
In the general biological sense, end
It Is hardiy logical to assume that
we may safely apply knowledge gain

or pathology to human health and

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Calcium Lactate for Asthma,
I took calcium lactate for 10 weeks

Should I continue taking it? Mrs

Answer Another course of 10 weeks
next spring or early summer. Mean
while, you should be sure to get as
much sunshine on naked skin (or
ultra-violet from artificial source) as
your skin will stand, and an optimal
vitamin ration.
Swimming.
Is It harmful in any way for one
who has had a mastoid operation to
go In swimming? B. V., Jr.
Answer Not In open water, but if
you swim In a pool, wear suitable
plugs of wool (not cotton) In both
the nostrils and the ears , and breathe
entirely through the mouth while
swimming. In fact, I think it wi3C
for anyone who swims In a pool to
wear wool plugs In both nostrils and
breathe through the mouth while In
the water.
Neat Trick.
Since salt Is good for digestion and
soda bicarb corrects acidity, occurred
to me to combine the two, but friend

Answer Salt la not good for di
gestion, and saleralus does not cor
rect acidity. However, taking the two
in combination would do no more
harm than taking either salt or sod.v

Comment
oti the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
DICK SHEPHERD, who runs the
Hunter Hot Springs hotel at
Lakeview, has 60 honker geese that
started from the original pair that
came down out of the skies and
adopted him and his place two or
three years ago.
They're a beautiful sight to sec.
and about this time of the year they
are a musical lot to hear. (That Is,
If you like the music of a honker
goose).
-
HERE'S something to think about:
Dick estimates that his flock of
60 "band," if you Insist on being
technical would Increase within five
years to TWO thousand If given ade
quate feed, nesting facilities and pro
tection from hunters and other ene
mies. IP THERE is sucha thing as gooso
heaven, a little corner of it must
be located around Dick's place.
There'st plenty of WARM water,
with pools fed by boiling springs,
one of which produces the famous
Lakeview geyser, and there are stub
ble fields In the near distance. Dick
supplements the stubble field wth a
grain ration for his pets.

Then there Is PROTECTION. These
geese know they're safe. That means
everything In the world to wild crea
tures. (You're probably famillar with the
assertion, made with ft more or less
straight face by the park rangers,
that every bear In the southern Cas
cades and the northern Sierras knows
the boundary lines of Crater Lake
and Lassen parks as well as the ran
gers themselves, coming up to them
furtively from the outside and as
suming a nonchalant and perfectly
at home ease and manner as soon
as they cross over).
REMEMBER, these geese discovered
Dick's haven of refuge for them
selves, putting up whatever passes In
the goose tribes for claim stakes.
Now listen:
Every now and then ANOTHER
band of questing honkers tops the
surrounding hills, spots those warm
pools and circles them to Investi
gate., with the thrifty thought of
taking possession.
When this happens, do the squat
ters who are in possession welcome
the newcomers to their Utopia?
They do NOT!
THEY kick up a fuss that can be
heard for ;i;ven miles, honking at
the invaders, flapping their wings at
them, calling them vile names, say
ing aa plain as day:
"This is OUR place: ours by right
of discovery. We found it. We've
taken possession, and we LIKE It.
There's no room for outsiders, so you
get the hell out of here!'1
IT'S Just possible that these geese
arc wiser than we Americans.
We found this country of ours or
our forefathers did. We shooed the
Indians out, tamed the wilderness.
built cities, constructed roads, so that
we can get from place to place made
of It quite a paradise on earth.
Then, instead of discouraging the
questing outsiders telling them
plainly as Dick's geese to do get the
hell out of here and leave us alone
we WELCOME them in, share our
prized possessions with them, and
even listen tolerantly when a tot of
them get up on soap boxes and pro
claim that America is the prize sink
hole of the world, governed by grasp
ing and vicious ogres and inhabited
by morons.
We've shared our blessings, includ
ing WORK, mj effectively with out
siders from all oer the earth that
we now have some TEN MILLION

IT'S possible, you know, to learn

these geese of Dick's teach so plainly
might be worth bur heeding.
