Communications Kimh, Then Act. To the Editor: Referring to a communication In The Mini Tribune February 14 by A. C. Allen. In which he suggested the adoption of the Townsend plan for a given length of time, and Ita permanent adoption later, or rejec tion, according to Its success or fail ure, reminds us of a certain way ol determining the difference between two growths, somewhat of a fungus nnture After consuming one or them, and you still live, and leel alrlRht. it's a mushroom, It other wise. It mas a toadstool, we fall to sic the lorjlc in playing ihe rnle of a monkey or gulnrs pig by submit, ting to the injection of a serum, MEMBER "Bill" White WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, famous editor of a famous coun try daily, and high in the councils of the Q. 0. P., recently paid a visit to Washington and shook hands with the President. Returning to his home he gave his publio endorsement to Roosevelt and the New Deal, admitting the latter to. be a pro gram of trial and error, but all in all the best vehicle of recovery and betterment in sight. By a strange coincidence just after reading this announce ment we came across a copy of the magazine article entitled "What's the Matter With Kansas' which written by Jfr. White 35 or 40 years ago, during the Free Silver and Populist agitation, established his national reputation and started him on a long career of accomplishment and fame. The following stimulating and colorful comment in that article particularly caught our eye: '''. "Oh, this la a stat to be proud of I We are a people who can hold up our heada. What we need here la lees money, leas capital, fewer white shlrta and brains, fewer men with business) Judgment, and more of these fellows who boast that they art 'Just ordinary old clod-hoppers, but that they know more In ft ' mlnut about finance than John Sherman.' We need more men . who are 'posted,' who can bellow about the crime of '73, who hate prosperity, and who think that because a man believes in national honor that be Is a. tool of Wall Street., we have bad a few of them, some 160.000, but we want more. We need several thousand gibbering IdloU to scream about the "Oreat Red Dragon" of Lombard street. We don't need population, we don't need wealth, we don't need stsndlng In the nation, we don't need cities on these fertile prslrles; you bet we don't. What we are after la the money power. Because we have) become poorer and ornler and meaner than ft spavined, distempered mule, we, the people of Kansas propose to kick. We don't care to build up, we wish to tear down. " "There are two Ideas of government,' said our noble Bryan at Chicago, "There are those who believe that If you Just legis late to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will lesk through on those below. The democratic Idea has been that if . you legislate to make the masses prosperous their prosperity will find its way up and through every class and reat upon us.' "That'a the stuff. Give the prosperous man the dickens. Legislate the thriftless into ease; whack the stuffing out of the creditors, and tell the debtor who borrowed money five years ago, when the money In circulation was more general than it is now, that the contraction of the currency gives htm ft right to re pudiate. "Whoop it up for the lary, greasy flute, who can't pay his debts, put him on an altar and bow down and worship blm. ' Let the state Ideal be high. What we need la not the respect of our fellow men, but a chsnce to get something for nothing." To those who would maintain this shows a flip-flop by the famous Emporia editor, who established his reputation by flay ing Populism and Bryanism, and is now sympathetic if not actually supporting F. D. R. and the New Deal, we humbly sug gest that they wait a while. Let them wait until the next presidential campaign, for ex ample. Unless we are greatly Bill Allen fought as a 'young throughout the nation, President and conquer if he is ever to succeed to a second term. Why a Legislature? CTATE SENATOR ZIMMERMAN recently introduced fW tn VaTa tl,a ctatA ei.ii .1 1 n I lotvt for approval or repeal. The members of the senate voted the proposal down 22 to 7, whereupon the Zimmerman supporters complained that such action was tantamount to a denial of popular rule, a refusal to allow the people of the state to decide what they want or don't want. As we see it such a charire is lature Is a medium of representative NOT direct trovcrnment. and to rule for or against any privilege. . If the people are not satisfied the initiative or referendum, which can be invoked at any time. FOR the legislature to continuously pass the buck up to the lion ill n c i" i 1.- n o im aa a JioiAn,,!.. u . ment, and equivalent to an admission, that the legislators lack theicourage of their own convictions. Let the representatives of the people at Salem, accept instead of shirk the responsibilities of representation placed upon them. Let them act with courage and decision, according to what they believe to be best for the people of this state, as a whole. Let the check on their actions, come from the people, not from the representatives themselves, which is little more than a process of self stultification. If we are to have representative government let's HAVE it. If we are not, then let's go the whole hog, do away with the legislature entirely and let the people do ALL their legislating for themselves. A Fine Example A New York theatrical promoter ssld two Hsuptmann Jurors hsd rejected offers of 1500 weekly for a barnstorming tour of the country. The promoter, Samuel J. Burger, said "I hod Inalcattona that about seven will accept, but none has done so yet." The two who rejected the offers, he said, were Howard Biggs, unemployed, and Robert Cravatt. educational director of a CCC camp. Burger said "Blgga told me he thought the Idea, la terrible snd Crsvatt Just told me he wasn't Interested and turned away.". Press Dispatch. Three rousing cheers for Biggs and a tiger for Brother Cravatt. Imagine what $.100 a week would mean to a member of the army of unemployed ! No job. Probably no immediate chance of getting one. But here is an American citizen who would rather join the bread line as he searches for legitimate employment, than to exploit his services as a juror for pecuniary gain, and pander to the sordid sensationalism of the moronic section of our population. "The idea is terrible" said Biggs. Cravatt turned away, with that cash fluttering before his nose. He wasn't interested. Here's hoping this admirable example of good sense and good taste, is followed by every other member of the Hauptmann jury. the effects of which we admit we know very little or nothing about There Is a sufficient emount of dsts snd rellsble InTormstlon available to guide us to a ressonsble extent along the lines of safety in our ac tion regarding thla plan. Let'a have It before we act. We wish to congrstulste Mr. Allen on the deep and beautiful thought conveyed In his reference to youth snd old age.

Even thla edition dated 1933, doss not Include thr wordi vltajmn nd crl In the body of the book enough a determined March of out of the way corners will reward you with several hundred words about vitamins In the list of New Words. The work Includes In the biographi cal section the names of Irvln Cobb and Will Rogers, but does not men tion little Mary Pick ford. Looks like rank discrimination to me. Or may be Mary wouldn't promise to take a hundred copies. It could not have been for lack of space. Notice how the erudite editors of the big book deliberately insinuate that superflu ous "something" In the opening sen tence of the preface. The new edi tion Is replete with Buch redundancy. Not that 1 care. Frankly I don't be lieve I shall live to see crl In the dictionary. The old geezers who write dictionaries could never get the Idea even tho one explain It In words of one syllable. They've had poor bring ing up. Gradually evidence is accumulat ing to support the belief that there Is a connection between the vitamin supply and Immunity to crl. We know that a deficiency or lack of vitamin A prevents development ol normal vigor of the mucous mem branes, ' particularly the respiratory tract, and there Is reason to believe that shortage of some other vitamins contributes to the impoverishment or this first line of defense. Fish-liver oil. any kind of fish. Is the richest natural source of vita min A. Persons who are unduly sub ject to crl may enjoy great benefit to general well being as well as free dom from crl by taking enough vita min A as a dally ration. It matters not what form. For Infants or young children this Is especially appli cable. Cod, halibut, salmon, shark liver oil,- enough vitamin A In a teaspoon ful or two a day to supply the needs of almost anybody. Excellent sources of vitamin A are egg yolk, beef liver, butter, cream, cream cheese, Limburgcr, Swiss cheese, carrots, escarole, (chicory ) . green peppers, yellow fat of beef, Comment on the Days News ' By FRANK JESKINS THESE words are written on Lin coln's birthday. Lincoln 1b ac cepted as the founder of the Repub lican party. The anniversary of Lin coln's birth Is the traditional' occas ion when Republicans get together and tako stock of their party. In the opinion of this writer, which is merely the opinion of a humble and Inconspicuous private In the Republican ranks, there has never been a time since the founding of the party when U was more neces- j sary to do that than RIOHT NOW. THE Republican party was found ed In a time of grave national danger. The country was drifting, apparently hopelessly, toward disun ion. Disunion would have destroyed the Ideals upon which this nation was built. Strong leadership was needed to avert that catastrophe. The needed strong leadership was supplied by Lincoln, and the devoted, rlncere and powerful following without which no leader can succeed, was supplied by the Republican party. This combination prevented dis union and saved the country. THE nation Is again In grave peril. Its leadership Is strongly In fluenced by Inexperienced theorlsU men who preach the dangerously alluring doctrine that we can vote ourselves back to prosperity, that we can borrow and spend ourselves rich, that nobody need ever worry about the future again because hereafter a wise and kindly government will take care of the future for us so that all we shall ever need to do It to lean trustingly upon It. The fact that these theorists may be honest enough In their purposes and sincere enough In their idealism doesn't mtnlmlre the danger. A na tion wrecked on the rock of unsound theory Is as miserable as one that crashes on the reef of scheming and dishonest self-seeking. IS the emergency of threatened dis union, the Republican rarty rcrc to heights of real greatnew. putting patriotism above politics and states manship above mere offlces'sceklng. Can It do so again? If It can. it deserves to come baik Into power as a reward for sensing the nation's danger and averting It by reawakening the latent ivimi mi sense of h Amcrkan people aiui ftreje.iEse1 lo I AN OLD FOSSIL. sweet potatoes, oranges, ripe banana, squash, pumpkin, yellow corn or yellow corn meal, spinach, cabbage, green,,, leaves or celery, parsley, onion tops, turnip tops, outer green leaves of lettuce, cress, tomatoes. Vitamin A la not destroyed by cooking or other heating, but Is de stroyed by oxygenation, as by ex posure to the air. For example cod Uver or other fish-liver oil retains its vitamin A strength best If kept tightly corked or better If preserved by carbon dioxide from the access of oxygen. Carotene, the yellow coloring mat ter of many vegetables and frutte. Is converted Into vitamin A In the body. It may be called the percursor or forerunner of vitamin A. Vitamin A la not Injured by acids or alkalis. It keeps long only when the food Is preserved in vacuum, to exclude air or oxygen. Aerating milk destroys It; radiating foods to Increase vita min D lowers the vitamin A content, if any. v QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. No Pores, ' How docs a hot bath affect tho pores? A cold bath? Why Is It neces sary to finish a hot bath with a dash of cold water, if one must go out soon afterwards? C. H. Answer There are no pores In the skin.

FOR half a century It has been the custom on Lincoln's birthday for Republicans to get together and point with pride to the PAST. That day Is gone. Thla nation stands at the fork of the road. The way to future happi ness and real prosperity lies along the route strewn with the Jagged rocks of hard work, thrift, self-reliance and ' acceptance of facts as they are. The way to national ruin lies along the primrose path of con tinued borrowing and spending, with the government doing everything and the individual nothing. If Republicans can get together and agree to accept the task of lead ing the way down the hard road that must be traveled tf we ore to get back to happiness . and prosperity. they will be acting tn the spirit of Lincoln. . . If not, they might as well not get together at all. Flight o Time (Medford and Jackson Count) History from the riles of the Mall Tribune of 20 and 10 Years Aro).

Reports that Senator Wagner Is go ing to drop his proposed labor bill are wrong. It will be introduced shortly, proposing free elections among workers and giving the labor beard power to enforce its decisions. The Shannon congressional com mittee on government competition with private enterprises says big heartedly: ''No complaint is made of coast guard assistance given to save life In casualties of the sea, but we do recommend that the salvaging of ships and cargo be discontinued." The most Impressive Washington reaction to the Hauptmann verdict was that of Senator Borah, who said the murder had only been half clear ed up. Borah has a reputation for uncanny propheciea.
