A man who is a REAL governor, not just another politician, hesitating to do anything, until he is certain he won't lose votes thereby. ' Everything was set at Forest Grove yesterday for a repeti tion of the tragic mess, which cost Portland so much in blood and treasure, a year ago. The strike pickets were out, the riot ing had started, the usual manifestos of defiance were being prepared on both sides. Only a spark was needed to precipitate virtual civil war. But the battle never occurred. One car was wrecked, one camera smashed, two or three heads were cracked, but before any serious trouble had started the strike leader told his follow ers to break ranks and disperse. Said he: "General Martin plana to call out tha mllttla at 3 p. m. unleas things here have quieted down. If he does It mean martial law in thla state and will probably break up our union and strike all over tha northwest. Better go home." And they 'WENT home 1 Whyf Because that strike leader and those men, knew Oregon had in the state house a man who meant JUST what he said; a man who refuses to play for the labor vote, the capital vote, or any other vote; but who is determined, at all costs, to maintain law and order in this state, protect the lives and property of peaceful citizens, and if conditions reach such a pass that ONLY martial law can do it, then martial law it will be! NOT only is such a position by a state executive absolutely sound, but it is a policy which, in the final analysis, bene fits organized labor, as much as any other class in the state. For nothing destroys public quickly, than the lawlessness, violence and bloodshed which, at the instigation of radical agitators, so frequently attend walk outs on the part of the workers. Nothing did more to injure the LEGITIMATE labor cause on this which was brought on from Seattle to San Diego, by the steve dores' strike last summer. IF the striking lumber workers in Oregon HAVE a just cause, public opinion will, in an atmosphere of calm consideration, be quick to support it; there will be no such support, with mills being burned, property destroyed and lives sacrificed, nine times out of ten the lives of innocent people. The governor is dead right in this action, and we are sure, enjoys the overwhelming support of ALL right thinking citizens. Oregon is indeed fortunate in having such a forthright, fearless and patriotic type of man in the state house at the present time. Fugitives From Knowledge BJOW and theu Senator Borah drops a telling phrase which might well be picked up, dusted off, properly scrolled on parchment, and hung conspicuously in the cloak rooms of the congress, for present and future generations to contemplate. Such was the case yesterday when the Idaho senator, in op posing Senator Steiwcr's foolish effort to prevent the president's delivery of his bonus speech, in person, said : "I do not see why we should object: we should not be fugitives from knowledge. If there Is another side to thla ques tion, so far as I am concerned I am anxious to have It." "Should not he fugitives from knowledge," that is excellent doctrine at this time, not only for legislators, to follow, but for all good citizens, including the editors of newspapers. We have far too many fugitives from knowledge, people who are afraid to face the truth; people who don't want the truth, but only want to hear THEIR side of the question, and close their eyes, ears, and minds to everything else. In our humble opinion the country never needed more than it does today, the open mind, the inquiring and judicial as opposed to the prejudiced and partisan mind, the willingness to hear all sides of a proposition, gain all possible information concerning it, beforo making up one's mind DEFINITELY re garding it. For such an attitude spells tolerance, and tolerance is the only road to wisdom. And if ever the people of a country needed wisdom true wisdom, the people of the United States need it today. nPlIEEE are so many half-baked panaceas floating about, so many theories, superficially alluring which are essentially unsound ; so many peoplo honest, earnest but misguided people who KNOW so many things that aren't so. If more people would only adopt the Borah attitude, never flee to the storm cellar of FIXED opinions, from the challenge of greater knowledge, form definite opinions and hold to them; but never close the door, to more complete or more accurate information, even though such action might materially modify or oven reverse those opinions, how much better off we would all be, and our country also. NEVER be fugitive from knowledge! The adoption of that slogan, and living up to it, would do more than anything we can imagine, to bring this country out of (be present morass of confusion and doubt and fear, to the clear open country, of its proper destiny, a destiny not charted by passions and prejudices, but by the free interchange of opinions in the light of what is TRUE!

Aa a mere watcher of the parade I sale naively whether It la not nearly time to lay away In the cup board the engag ing but unscien tific speculations of Weir Mitchell, Beard et al and examine a little more attentively the conceptions of William J. M. A.. Maloney and Edmund Jacob son, whose works "Locomotor Ataxia and 'Progressive Re laxation," respectively, should be In every doctor's library? From these two classics I shall quote Just enough to make up a little lesson in relaxation. First from p. 199 of Maloney: "The relaxation of the neck and trunk muscles Is best accomplished while the patient sits. The pati ent's arms should hang limply by his side, and his feet, crossed one over the other, should rest on the r outer borders. The head should next be passively rotated In all di rections, slowly and repeatedly Then, by moving the supported trunk, the head la allowed to fall passively backward and forward, by Its own weight. Finally, the head reeta with the chin upon the chest, or hangs forward suspended by the ligaments of the neok." Passively, of course, means that the doctor manipulates the head, while the patient Just plays dead. Dr. Moloney's book, and for that matter Dr. Jacobson's too. la rather too technical for a layman to tackle in any circumstance, but both books should be worth a careful study to any physician. Dr. Jacobson recently issued an excellent little book entitled "You Must Relax." and this is mo-e suitable for the lay reader. One thing Dr. Jacobson has done for me good many of my nervo'is readers will be delighted, I hope. He has t aiight me to take a more liberal view of "nervousness," "overactive ! nerves," or "high tension" than I had taken. Don't know but what I'll hava to pipe down a bit on my ruthless i division of all nervous wrecks or weak 1 nerve people Into class A and class B neurotics. With a great blush I am j thinking of opening a third class to j accommodate the adrenln-lntoxicatcd i geeks but don't rush me about this, j Imposters, and don't Irritate me at ! this delicate Juncture by anonymous sneers. Just give me time and may be I'll get around to straightenlnc this sad situation out. However, if you count on getting any support from me for nervous Imposition.

If class B neurotics are admitted to heaven, I don't want to go there, (Readers In doubt which class they belong to, send ten cent ooln and stamped adressed envelope for book let "Nervous Imposition.") What Dr. Jacobson shows li that "tension" or "nervousness" is often actual muscular tension, excessive contraction of muscles and waste of energy. Among the conditions: which have responded astonishingly well to "dif ferential relaxation," as Dr. Jacobson calls it, are high blood pressure, spas tic colitis, Insomnia end restless sleep and various phobias and anxletlea or fears which the patient suffers even though he knowa they are absurd. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Who Makes Your Bed? Much interested In your article re lating to springs and mattreses. Pleas a advise me the proper kind to buy. Mrs. R. B.

Have you a pamphlet or any such matter which tella the kind of Iodine or potassium Iodide you recommend for a large listless male, age 42, weight 225 pounds, height fl feet. W. L. C Answer One booklet "The Regen eration Regimen," gives the Instruc tion for lodln ration. Another, "De sign for Dwindling." tells how to re duce. For either send 10 cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address. Toast. I eat only stale or toasted ry bread. Does either white or rve bread acquire any beneficial proper ties from the toasting process? L. O Answer Toasting converts some starch Into dextrin, which is sweeter to tast and perhaps more soluble. I know of no beneficial properties Imparted to bread by toasting. I think It Is a question of personal preference whether to eat fresh or stale bread, toasted or not. Tattoo. Would It be possible to tattoo the scalp, for Instance a bald spot oti one side the size of a quarter, so it would look Ilka the hair? Miss R. H. Answer A reputable physician could tattoo the spot to have more nearly the color of the hair. Be ware of charlatans who purport tj be tattoo artists. (Copyright, 1935, John F. Dllle Co.) Ed.

Copyright, 1935, McNaught Syndi cate) Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT vetoes the printing press money bonus bill, and on the same day, by a vote of 322 to 98, the house of representa tives passes it over his veto. That is to say, the members of the house of representatives, most of whom will come up for re-election in 1936, believe that more votes are to be gained by passing the printing press money bonus bill than by de feating It. THESE words are written late Wed nesday evening. The senate Is to meet early Thursday to consider the bonus bill veto. The senate's action remains to be seen. It is to be presumed, however, that the senate will be governed by the same considerations that governed the house that is, by Its estimate of the number of votes to be gained or lost. Expediency, NOT statesmanship, rules the present congress. - - TWO statements from the Presi dent's veto message stand out. Here Is one of them: "To meet a claim of one group by this DECEPTIVELY EASY method (the printing of greenbacks) will raise Blmllar demands for the pay ment of claims to other groups." That Is to say. EVERYBODY who wants money In vast sums from the government will hereafter say: "See how easy It is. All you have to do Is PRINT MORE MONEY. So go ahead and print the money and give ua what we want." This demand will be backed by votes, and congressmen WANT VOTES. HERE is the Presidents other sig nificant statement: It (starting the presses to print ing money) invites an ultimate reck oning In uncontrollable prices and in the destruction of the value of sav- ings. Every country that has at tempted the form of meeting its obit- i gations which Is here provided has ' 1 ijg " '- ; suffered DISASTROUS CONSE QUENCES." PAYING government bills with printing press money is like thin ning milk with water. As more water la put in, It takes more milk to do the Job. As the money Is thinned out, IT TAKES MORE MONEY to do the Job. As the President save, the result of starting the printing presses will be an era of uncontrollable prices, which means that prices will go up faster than the earnings of ordinary, aver age people. A few favored price boosters will benefit hugely, and the rest of us will suffer terribly. OF COURSE, those who are for printing press money will say: "Oh, we're only going to put a LIT TLE water In the milk not enough to hurt It. What difference will an extra two billions of printing press money make?" The President answers that when he says: "EVERY COUNTRY that has at tempted that form of meeting Its ob ligations which Is here provided has suffered disastrous consequences." IT ISN'T the bonus that makes the Paiman bill vicious. It Is the fact that by passing the Patman printing press money bonus bill the congress of the United States has definitely thrown common honesty and sound business practice to the winds and has voted to start paying the bills of the government of the United States in IOU's. That is a serious situation. Flight 'o Time (Medford and Jackson County History from the files of' the Mall Tribune of HJ and Z0 Veers Ago). TEN YEARS A CIO TODAY May 21, lH'i.. fit was Monday.)
