Hearst Wants Fascism IF WILLIAM Kandolph Hearst has his way and he often has, this country will go Fascist, with a dictator in the White House, and William Randolph the power behind the throne. , From coast to coast the Hearst press is plainly directing its tremendous power of propaganda in this direction. It is persistently raising the scare of Communism, the impotency of the Roosevelt administration to check it. the need of a strong hand to take over executive control, and preserve our cherished American institutions. Mr. Hearst, as far as is known, has not selected the man he wishes to become the duly authorized dictator of our des tinies. But it is no secret, that he is in close personal touch with Father C'oglnn; that he has ordered "hands off" Huey Long; that he has refused to antagonize the Townsend sup porters; that on his recent trip to Europe, he spent many days in close conference with Hitler the Nazi chieftain, and was granted certain exclusive press priveleges, by der Reichs-feuherer. The truth probably is, Hearst present writing, who his candidate will be, or, of course, whether or not dictatorship will be possible. He is hoping how ever, strongly hoping. ' ' . Meanwhile, his strategy is one the various forces of unrest and revolt, go their several ways, in the hope that eventually they will unite behind one out standing lender. When THIS be there, with no entanglements which will prevent him, from throwing every resource at his command behind the "man on horseback;" and under the guise of putting down red revo lution, maintaining law and order, restoring prosperity to a long suffering nnd disheartened people, he will put over his coup d'etat, similar to the one which gave Italy Mussolini, and Germany "Adolph the Great." AT LEAST this is the view entertained by many of the lead ince nnlitir-nl ohRPrvprs and boat informed nawennnnr mpn in the country. There is not only much evidence to sustain it, but Mich a role, unquestionably fits into the known character of William Randolph Hearst, PERFECTLY. Hearst has always had one consuming passion, and only one, the desire for power. His professed love for the common people, his devotion to. what he called extension of newspaper control all had this one purpose in view, The accumulation of a fortune and he is one of the richest men in the world, has not interested him, EXCEPT as it gave him power. To attain some personal end, lie would toss away a million dollars, with no more reluctance than if it were as many cents. Now, having passed the traditional three score and ten, thwarted in his early ambition to be President, and smart enough to know he never can be; what more natural or plaus ible, than that he should see, in the evening of his life, and amidst unprecedented conditions of social, political and eco nomio collnpse, the golden opportunity for which he had waited so many years. Democracies tumbling over liko ten pins, dictatorships rising to take their place, the passion of the American people for peace and security, their fear of red revolution and disaster, why the world is made to order, for Hearst at last to realize the dream of a life time, and one that Fate has so long denied,. So people interested in politics and the future of this coun try, would do well to watch the Hearst press carefully during these trying times, and scrutinize the political contacts of "the chief" with care. Ono thing is certain. Unless normal prosperity does return, within the next year, unless improvement is more rapid and certain than it has been, the time will certainly be ripe for some form of Fascism, and Hearst will be the man to put it over, if it CAN bo done. A Base and Loathsome Thing rTQ OUl mind, Secretary Ickcs is delivering sonio of the host speeches on the current political problems, that have been delivered during the Roosevelt administration. His address on relief, delivered a week or so ago, was a gem of clour thinking, forceful logic, and true human feeling. Yesterday, as guest of honor at the annual meeting of the Associated Press his talk on free speech, and particularly on demagogues striving to gain political power, through misleading and misinforming the people, was a masterpiece. Unfortunately, space prevents printing the speech in full, or even giving at the present time more than a suggestion of me wisuom aim truth it contained. Hut the following brief extract wc believe should be cut. out and pasted on the wall of every A. p. editorial sanctum, should, in fact, be engraved at this time upon t,c consciousness of every thinking person: "rersonallj, I happen lo be a man of strong convictions.

In thl day and age (continues Mrs. Reader) It Is Impossible to avoid exposure to tobacco smoke. Some people do not choose to believe to bacco smoke can poison others, and sometimes the resulting sick head ache and nausea seem a high price to pay for their companionship. I suppose If the nausea occurred abruptly they might believe it, but It comes on only after two or three hours, when as a rule the smoking visitors have gone. I am extremely sensitive to tobacco smoke. Formerly I Imagined the headaches were from eyestrain- and wore glasses needlessly for years before I discovered the real cause. Now I never have the head aches If I can avoid exposure to to bacco smoke, and I do not wear glasses any more. It is a handicap to have to stay at home or have a headache, and even ' at home guests will smoke. People used to smoking are uncomfortable when they can't smoke, and it seems now that smokers far outnumoer non smokers, so It is up to the minority to find an antidote against to bacco smoke poisoning. Mrs. H. A. W. In the first place, although wo men now do. their good share of the smoking.

And although a man's house la his castle, it isn't much of a castle unless It ts ruled by her ladyship. Within reason, therefore, the lady of the house should prescribe the regula tions regarding smoking, and any lout who ventures to transgress thereby gives up his welcome. , Certain Individuals are definitely sensitized or hypersensitive to to bacco smoke, Just as other indi viduals are hypersensitive to quinine or to pollen or to ege white. Infants breathing air heavily laden with tobacco smoke are readily poisoned Just as tho they smoked. Young NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntvre NEW YORK, April 33.

She Is an in valid and their devotion is marked. His most notable stape rolo was as the frustrated adolescent In "The Barker." He piayed opposite the glnmorous Claudette Colbert and their play love-making blossomed into a real life romance. They were mar ried and she roomed as one of Hol- wood's shotlirg start.

Any harm in giving It to a child three years old, or drinking tea made of the root? Does the weed known as "Spanish needle" have any medicinal value, used as a poultice or In ointment? Mrs. D. W. E. Answer Sassafras Is a flavor only. Very large doses may act as narcotic poison. Unwise to give such things to a child It cultivates a craving for stimulants. Spanish needle (31 dens biplnnata) has been used as emmenagogue and as expectorant in bronchial diseases, tho it Is rarely used in medicine today. I have no data on its use in poultice or oint ment. .Man with Tin Ear Enjoys Immunity You said you would like to hear from anybody who has any experi ence In the effects of vitamin A on deafness.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS HP. B08W0RTH., formerly of Medford and now Copco man ager at Klamath Palls, came to Ore gon on 48 hours' notice. He gradu ated from Cornell, and two days later a Job opened up In Medford. It had to be taken at once, or left. He didn't know , much about Ore gon, so he hunted up the encyclope dias and started reading up. -The encyclopedia makers had apparently never heard of much In Oregon out side of oPrtland, for they bore down heavily on the rain, citing annual av erage precipitation of 40 to 50 Inches. So Bos, being a prudent soul and believing In preparedness, went out and bought himself a raincoat, a rain hat and an umbrella, and seriously considered laying in a pair of hip boota but finally compromised on galoshes. . H IE ARRIVED in Southern Oregon late in May, he says, and tt was four and a half months before he saw even a drop or rain. After three months of tt, he'd have given some body a real bargain in rain equip ment. Bc OS landed in Medford, and after parking his luggage he set out up Main street to see the sights. Tiring eventually of foot transporta tion, and noting street car tracks and a trolley wire, he stopped on a corner to wait for a car, He waited what seemed to him an unconscionable time, and then he waited some more. Finally he stoped a passer-by and asked: "Can you tell me when the next car will come along?" The stranger looked him over, then grinned in a friendly and companion able way. "No," he said, "I don't be lieve I can. But I can tel! you when the last one came." "I bit," Bos says, "and asked when." "Just about six years ago," was the answer. BERT HALL, heading for the wild and woolly west, stopped off first In Colorado. He'd been given the op posite slant from Bos, having been told that It practically NEVER rained In Colorado. So he stepped off the train at Gree ley, aa innocent of umbrellas, rain coats and such as an Arab from the arid wastes of Sahara. "And It was raining when I got off," he says: "a misty, determined sort of rain that looked like it meant to last till the end of time." f SO BERT, not being equipped for the outdoors In such weather, hunted up a hotel and went to bed to gt warm. He got up the next morning and looked out of the win dow, and the trees were covered with SNOW. "I started down the street," he says, ""admiring the snow-covered landscape, and all of a sudden I look ed up in a tree ahead of me and there was a MAN hanging from a rope." THE body, it developed, was that of a short-tempered gentleman who had come home one night oiled to the eyebrows, got his sick wife out of bed and beat her to a pulp, so that she died before morning. He was arrested that night and lodged In Jail, and the neighbors or ganized a necktie party and came down to get him out to be the guest of honor, but found an aggressive sheriff on the Job. Knowing the sheriff, and realizing that the only way to get around him wauld be to shoot him, and having a lot of respect for him, they corked up their anger and went home. BWT they set a watch on the sher iff, and the first time he got out of town they went down to the Jail, collected the wife-beating citizen, hanged him to the nearest tree, dust ed off their hands and went home. That was the night it snowed and Bert Hall got to town. -"I wondered what I'd got Into," he says, "and made up my mind to be good." 4 Communications Quotes Pot Brady. To the Editor: In your issue of April 3rd. under the caption. "Furious. Rabies Kills Seventh Portland Dog." It is said; "The seventh dog to fall a victim of rabies In the past three weeks, died today. The report on the death was made by Dr. E. E. Chase, city veter inarian. In the last case the afflict ed dog died from the 'furious' type of rabies." The germ of rabies has not been found, but it Is claimed that If the so-called Negri bodies are found tn a dog's brain. It is a case of rabies. As a matter of tact, the mere head examination means very little, as the negrl bodies are found In the heads of perfectly normal dogs and some times absent in heads of dogs having all symptoms of rabies. Tliis procedure Is exceedingly com plex and difficult. It Is easy to de clare tt a case of rabies and. at the same time, induce the person bitten get agent to ask questions of each to have a dangerous and expensive familv ior three to six hours.

It is further said that: "Dr. Big gins admitted, on questioning by the mayor, that as an expert he would Invariably report a dog eitner -suspicious or positive' with rabies. He said he would never examine a dog's head and say his result was nega tive.' In an article by Dr. William Brady, the well-known syndicate writer in the Los Angeles "Times." July 30. '34. on "The Rabies Racket," It Is aald: "The laboratory examination of the brain tissues of the animal that had been 'suspected' Is not at all a scien tific test. It la a mere attempt to impose the fancy and belief of a phy sician or even the physician who has charge of the patient or who knows the circustances. "The laboratory worker's belief or fancy that he or she has found cer tain characteristic cells or artefacts, called negri bodies, Is not a scientific matter. Another equally well trained and equally experienced laboratory worker may examine the same speci mens and fall to recognize the negrl bodies." SUE M. FARRELL.

I am sending a few thoughts which came to my mind this Easter aa I look upon the lovely wild flow era growing In their quiet, beautiful way, and they offered quite a lesson to me. 1. Death I defy life eternal. 2. The wild flower fills its Bpace In the most lovely manner, develops and radiates loy to the weary. 3. Growlnjt bv the dusty lane it endeavors to grow and perfect Itself. Do I try hard to do the same in circumstances, making the best of life and growing nobler and truer to my fellow men. These are Just a few Ideas given to the hurrying autoist who may not even see the wild flowers to know them and enjoy these breaths from the Great Creator of all life. The silence of the wild Hower, to the autoist: Do you know of what I am, ; Or from whence I came? Do you know that you and I Partake of life, somehow, the" same? I grow by the country lane. And you call me a .wild flower. I am adorned In gay color; I waft a fragrance, unseen. I try to fill the space of my destiny. I wonder, do you try to do the same? Seated in your auto, you whisk by. While I am left there to die. Covered by dust from the parsers by Yet in the Great Silence, death 1 defy. You and I in life, somehow share alike, We live, we breathe and we die, But through the shadow of death A new life gleams nigh. I wonder who win be the flower, Away out yonder. Just you or I. I endeavor to grow by the dusty lane; Do you try hard to do the same? Written by Eliza Tessltore, Eagle Point, Oregon, Easter Sunday. (Continued from Page One) the one which troubles them most. Thereare about 22 categories of ques- tionson clothing. They will ask the males about five different classes of suits: namely, heavy wool, light weight wool, cotton - linen. Palm Beach, "other." Also six different categories of shoes: two street pairs, two work pairs, canvas and "other." This should be easy for most hus bands earning less than 12.000 a year. Mothers and daughters may find it more difficult because there are seven different kinds of dresses to be listed, kinds of hose, six different kinds of shofs (including two for sport wear). Then, in addition to certain unmen tionables already mentioned, the fe males will have to tell about the number, prices, expenditures and time purchased of "Arctic gaiters, night gowns (cotton-light, cotton-flannel, and silk-rayon), bathing suits, pa Jamas (lounging and beach), furs and sun stilts.
