A Lesson to Be Learned
A PERSONAL letter from a member of the tate legislature
contains the following:
"Governor Martin Is on th. Job all th Um. H. observes no
eight hour day. Ha never adjourna at 8 p. m. to meet again at
eleven the following morning. He haa given the moat atrlklng
example of concentration, application and hard work, aeen In
the atate house for a generation. And no one aska who la boaa.
Everyone admlta the Governor Is. Yet there la nothing arbitrary
or dictatorial about him. He la willing to talk thing, over at
anytime, and give every consideration to the other aide. If he
had a cabinet of ten good bualneaa men Instead of the legislature
to work with, the ship of atate Instead of being becalmed after
a month of delay and bewilderment, would be selling full steam
ahead, with lta decks cleared for action."
Anyone visiting Salen will find the same general opinion
expressed many times. Governor Martin is making a splendid
record. He is handicapped by the legislature, not because it is a
poor legislature hk such things go, it is certainly no worse than
the average, but because large bodies move slowly, and repre
sentative government, can neither eliminate politics, nor trans
act business with the maximum efficiency.
However what interested us most in the letter, was not the
tribute to Governor Martin, nnr the revealing light thrown upon
the inherent inefficiency of our traditional democratic methods
of administration, but the fact these opinions were expressed by
a Republican, who, we are quite certain, voted for Joe Dunne
in the last election. .
What a change has come over the spirit of his dreams? Only
a short time ago a little over 00 days, it was being constantly
broadcast that General Martin was an old man, retired from
active service, because of physical and mental disability, who
knew nothing about the state and cared less, and who if elected
would take his orders from Os West.
....
WE have no desire to rub it in, or try to revive any of the
factionalism and bitterness of the gubernatorial campaign,
but we do think it important and desirable, to bear such things
in mind, so errors of the past may be PREVENTED in the
future.
It is plain to everyone now, that the campaign against Gen
eral Martin was political shadow boxing and partisan flim-flam
of the most transparent type. The things said against him were
not true, and in most particulars were the exact reverse of the
truth.
....
Any voter really interested in the matter, could have estalr
lished the falsity of this partisan whang-doodle, by spending a
few hours checking up the facts
SOME of them, we are glad to say, did. Enough in fact to
elect the better qualified candidate. But thousands of them
didn't. Thousands of voters
fell and fell hard for this partisan propaganda. They didn't
investigate for themselves, they took the word of the office
seekers with an axe to grind and tluf professional politicians.
They proved to be easy marks, and we are certain that a vast
majority looking back on the campaign now, and observing the
present situation at the state house will admit it.
Tea, they fell for the same old line of hooey. And we arc
calling attention to this matter, with the HOPE that when the
next political campaign comes around they won't be so simple,
won't swallow the pap from EITHER side, but will keep their
heads and try to get the facts for THEMSELVES.
For the more the voters follow this course, the more certain
we are to get better men in public life, and getting better men
in public life means getting better government.

tory, that a so-called civilized nation has carried out the death
sentence against WOMEN, in time of peace.
If true, this ghastly horror,
Germany has remained, since
chauvinistic Hitler.
Hut one of the most regrettable features of the situation, is
that no one outside of the Hitler government, has the slightest
idea what has happened. Nor will they until the dictator and
his secret council, sec fit to make it known.
The people of Germany are as ignorant of what is really
going on in their country, as the world outside. There is no
free speech. There is no free press. There arc no free or un
controlled courts. The autocracy of the former Kaiser has been
exchanged for the absolute tyranny of a small clique, of which
Hitler is the spokesman and figuevhead.
Only under such conditions could such a monstrous outrage
have been perpetrated, or if the report is mere propaganda, such
a method of disciplinary publicity be CONSIOKREP.

A NO yet we find some half baked agitators in this country
today who arc advocating the overthrow of democracy
ami the establishment of a dictatorship as preferable to the
present situation. Some want a Kascist dictatorship, others a
dictatorship of the proletariat.

and Italy, evidence of what dictatorship really MEANS.

ment, clinical experience haa proved
aa positively as any practical fact can
be proved by animal experiment: In
the great majority oi cases of obesity
or overweight the essential cause is
shortage of vitamins in the ordinary
diet, and therefore the rational rem
edy la correction of this nutritional
defioency. This does not Imply that
vitamins bring about reduction of
excess fat or diminution of body di
mensions. Indeed, many frail, un

needed vigor and flesh on a suitable
ration of vitamins On the other
hand many thousands of overweight
Individuals have found that they de

This, I maintain, is a soundly es

the observations made by physicians
throughout the country. Being a
codger of sorts I have cogitated this
question, many an hour and I can't
conceive how It could be put to the
test of animal experimentation, for
it would be too difficult to approx- ,

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
GOVSRNMENT frderal, state and
city of New Jersey did a fine
Job In the Hauptm&nn case.
It stayed with It persistently tor
two and a half jeirs, gathering a
shred of fact here arid a scrap there,
and finally putting these fragments
of evidence together to make a story
so effective as to defeat the best ef
forts of one of the country's best
criminal lawyers to tear it apart.
That is a real achievement.
IT TOOK time. It took brains. It
took MONEY vast sums of it:
well over a half million dollars to
catch Just ONE criminal out of the
country's much too large criminal
population.
But the Job was well done, and
nobody begrudges the expense.
CATCHING and punishing crtm
inals that Is to say, enforcing
the law Is GOVERNMENT'S BUSI
NESS. That is one of the large reas
ons why we have government.
When government does a good Joj
of that which Is clearly and plainly
government's buslnees, good citizens
will not complain .f the coat is high,
because they know that in the lorg
run effective law enforcement will
save infinitely more than it costs.
IT IS ONLY when government steps
beyond its own proper and legiti
mate functions and begins to spend
staggeringly vast sums of money in
doing INEFFECTIVELY things that
are none of government's business
that thoughtful citizens become wor
ried as to the future.
--. .
WHAT here follows is merely this
writer's personal opinion. It can
not be proved. It may not be true.
But, at any rate, here Is the opin
ion: Hauptmann's defense, engineered
by a skillful and not at all scrup
ulous criminal lawyer, was built
largely upon PERJURED testimony
that sought to establish an alibi for
the defendant tha; is. sought to
prove that he was not at the scene
of the crime at the time It was com
mitted. .
PUTTING It in the plainest way It
can possibly be put, these wit
nessesassuming tht the opinion
here expressed Is correct lied under
oath. Presumably, in that event, they
lied for money.
If they lied for money, it Is reas
onable to suppose that the money
was furnished by the defendant, or
hla attorney, or his friends, or his
accomplice.
The purpose was to defeat Justice,
and so make crime safer, '
IF WE are ver tocontrol crime, we
must not only catch suspected
criminals but we must convict the
guilty ones as well. Catching tho
suspected criminal la only the be
ginning of the Jotf.
If we are to convict guilty crim
inals after they are caught, we must
discourage perjury DRASTICALLY,
for perjured testimony destroys Jus
tice. This writer, for one. hopes that the
agents of government who so effec
tively organized the case against
Hauptmann will turn their great
ability toward Investigating fully all
the witnesses who swore that Haupt
mann was elsewhere than at the
scene of the Lindbergh kld&ping on
the night of the crime, and, If It Is
proved that they lied, will prosecut:
them RELENTLESSLY.

Editorial Comment
Killing Cot-ktall.
The house did a good Job when
by a vote of 41 to 19 It defeated the
"cocktail" bill, which was almply
camouflage for return of the saloon
to profit greedy liquor Interests, who
never know when they are well off
and always demand more.
The "cocktail" bill would have put
the liquor control commission "on
the spot" and sooner or later accom
plished lta destruction and the re
turn of prohibition as a revolt
against abuses. It would not have
eliminated the speakeasies but legal
ized and multiplied them.
The Oregon system of liquor con
trol la working fairly well as an ex
periment. Its hands s h.o u 1 d be
strengthened and Its control In
creased. Abuses which have material
ized can be eliminated and pros
pective abuses curtailed. It Is far
more satisfactory than the experi
ments of some neighboring states
have been.
To keep the state temperate, we
do not need whiskey selling by the
glass or drinking anything except
light wines and beer in puoltc places.
Those who want stronger drink can
purchase It and consum: It In pri
vate. A little law enforcement will
not only curb the speakeasy, but
the bootlegger. And If Oregon Is to
remain wet, control must be tight-
