Editorial Correspondence WASHINGTON, July 3. Tomorrow is Independence Day. So it appeared quite fitting to stroll over to the Library of Con gress and view" the Declaration of Independence. Many others apparently had the same idea, for there was a lare crowd view ing the historic document, beneath the thick plate glasB top of the marble container which protects it. Thanks to a coat of gelatin, the sacred palladium of our liberties is remarkably well preserved, and no matter how familiar one may be with the text, one is deeply stirred to look down upon the ORIGINAL, and those signatures, actually penned, by our famous forefathers. - What struck us as we read not only determined the destiny political course of the civilized restraint, its entire freedom from heat and passion. We found ourselves comparing it with some of the statements we heard in New York concerning the alleged iniquities and abuses of the government under which we now live. The con trast certainly brought into sharp relief the essential childish ness, unreality' and make-believe of partisan politics! Had a pleasant informal chat with Senator McNary, who looks fit as n fiddle and far younger than his years. In fact with the exception of the two senate babies, Holt and LaFollette, the senior senator from Oregon carries off the senatorial prize for youthful pulchritude and zip. Oregon certainly has reason to be very prourpof him. We man in the upper house. And it is a popularity not based upon back slapping or the easy club-house brand of amiability it is based upon his fairness, his unfailing courtesy, his devotion to principle rather than partisanship, and his unusual ability. As one member of the press gallery expressed it, "McNary can accomplish more with less fuss, than any man in cither house. Everyone likes him, , but more important everyone respects him. and this goes not only for the leaders of both parties but for the administration." Yes we talked polities but off the record. The plain truth is, the political situation in Washington is as scrambled and con fused as it is in the rest of the country, no one appears to have a .clear idea of what the present situation is, or what it will be a few months or a year hence. Our own idea is the people of the country, as a whole, are politically TIRED OUT, and want a period of rest in which they can take their bearings. That is certainly true here ing desire in both houses is to adjourn and go home. Senator McNary feels this more strongly than most, because he recently "had a baby", and aforesaid baby who is only four months old, And bears the appropriate title couple of days, with Mrs. McNary and a colored "mammy" for the McNary ranch near Salem. That young lady may be an important factor in adjournment. Kor Papa Charles is minority leader and can do more to speed things up than any other Re publican in Washington. A year ago we had a car, and congress had adjourned, so we found no difficulty in getting about as we wished, and seeing the various points of interest, in a leisurely fashion. This year wiin no car, anu congress in session, we have been acutely impressed with the tremendous distances in this beautiful city, and the difficulty involved in covering the ground one wishes to cover. We will say this taxi fares in the national capital arc cheap, cheaper than any city of the size we have ever visited. Hut unfortunately they compel taxis to stay on the streets. This slows down progress materially. Take the senate office building for just one example. A tnxi will take you there for 20 cents, but. when you get out your transportation troubles only begin. There is no taxi to take you to Room i'.ili where Senator McNary holds forth! You have to walk, without a road map or so much as a pair of roller skates. AnuV.if you wish to see Congressman Pierce over in the Congressional office building the other side of the capitol you must walk also. And before you get through you will find you rode about two miles and walked at least four. These two buildings are beautiful and impressive piles of granite and marble and tile. But walking on marble, granite or tilo is not all it's cracked up to be, the footing is so uncertain, particularly when you turn a corner. And the distances! Johnny Kelly, able correspondent of the Oregonian, has an office in the senate building, with Carl Shoemaker who is secre tary of the committee on the conservation of wild life (formerly spokesman and factotum of the Oregon game commission) and ho says it 's a good mile from his offico to Senator McNary 'a. It took us 1") minutes and wo could sec nothing good about it. Sorry to find Carl had been recently called to Oregon, be cause of the serious illness of his wife. In addition to Johnny Kelly there are many interesting exhibits of wild life in the office, a huge picture of wild ducks in color, a couple of bison, and fishing rods and guns in one corner. Carl is regarded as one of the highest authorities in tho country on the conservation of wild life. Too bad ho couldn't have been here yesterday to have con served some wild life over in the House. Congressmen Kkwall and Mott were very wild. and Congressman Pierce was the cause of it all. Weeping Walter it seems spoke a few words on the now famous holding company bill, which in the confusion and general rumpus prevailing no one could hear, and then asked that he be granted the privilege of extending his remarks in the Record. This was given, as usual, but when the Record came out there was a table thumping campaign speech peeling the hide off of his two Oregon colleagues for casting their votes in favor of tho Power Trust, etc., etc., etc. As now everyone in Oregon who reads the newspapers knows, Walter upheld the president in the so called death sentence whereas Mott and Kkwall didn't. Needless to say the two Oregon representatives were pretty well burned up and both rose in the House today to defend themselves. It wasn't very sporting of Walter, but as a matter of practical politics, he has the best of it. The holding company issue is like the Wall Street issue. There is very little difference between the death sentence bill and the House bill, but few people will take the trouble to get into that. Pierce was against the holding companies, while Mott and Kk wall weren't politically speaking that will be the net result. no inattvr how justified Kkwall and Mott were in opposing the more radical measure. Paul McKee, former manairer of the California Oregon Power company, now the big shot of electric power and light in Port land, was here during the big death sentence battle, as were most of the other higher ups in the industry from coast to coast and the gulf to the Canadian border. He left for Portland by plane this morning. Now there is to be an inxestigation of the power lobby as well as the alleged pressure brought to hear by the administration. So whether conirress adjourns on August first or nut, some of these poor perspiring press birds will have to stick around all summer! R. W. R. 5 HURT I NPORTLAND PORTLAND.

A customer of a large hospital clinic sends for my scrap book (but I think It should be filed In the Haw-Haw Corner) Slip P- 142 which deals with ACNE. Says the slip. It is not contagious. It usually due to over-eating or to taking wrong ar- tides of food. (It Jtist miss!S mentioning wrong com binations.) Then It gives some really funny advice about diet, such as: 1. Do not eat anything containing sugar, such as cake, candy, tee cream or desserts, especially choc olate. Do not eat prunes, raislna. dates, figs, canned fruit, preserved fruit, bananas, cherries, plums or grapes. Do not eat gravies, meat soups, pastries or eggs. Do not eat salt fish or meat. 2. Lamb, chicken or fresh fish may be eaten once a day. AM kinds of vegetables con be eaten freely ex cept potatoes. Bread and butter In moderation. Milk or butter milk freely. Water at least .six or eight glasses a doy. There'B a diet which defies analysis. No rhyme or reason In it. Purely the old hokum bunkem. There is no sound basis ;for the quaint notion that too much sugar or sweets has anything to do with acne. There is less ground for the old granny Idea that too much butter, gravy or ft or fried food causes blackheads and pimples. When all is said and a whale of a lot Is said In medical books about hlackheads and pimples, It becomes quite obvious that we don't know why some young persons have more blackheads and pimples than ot'iers do. It is not only natural, but health ful for young persons to be fond of sweets and to consume plenty of Ice cream, candy, cake, chocolate and whatnot.

There was a quiet but warming welcome along the Blalto for the homecoming ot Blllle Burke. Not only a tribute to one of the great est light come diennes, but to her husband. Plo Zlegreld. whose passing left a void for the spectacular Bros dway mf.y never see again. This was Miss Burke's first visit since widowed Although she loved the metropolis sne could not bear to return to a world that had somewhat crumbled. As chatelaine of the magnificent "Burkley Crest" estate In the fashionable Tarrytown section, she lived In the greatest splendor of any star. Zlepfeld was an enormous money maker and a powerful spender. Once six Rolls limousines glittered m their ten-car garage, the playground for their daughter. Patricia included even a baby elephant. He suffered the fate of the great Impresarios of hts day Dillingham, Erlanger, etc. financial collapse. Bravely Miss Burke re-established herself In the cinema studios where ahe has been a bright particular star. Her talents are now in steady de mand.

Comment on tha Day's News By FRANK JK1NS. THE SISEMORE family moved trom the Rogue River valley to tne Klamath country in the eany eighties, settll.r.g in the Wood River valley near Fort Klamath. Llnsey first remembers coming Into Port Klamath with a band of horses, headed for the Rogue River valley. The man with whom he stopped, being a good booster, asked him why he didn't settle down there, in a good country. Llnsey, then a youngster, answered flippantly tnat he saw no good-looking girla around and didn't see why he should settle In any such place. The man answered: "Bub, most men have to be about 30 before they're worth shooting, but I can see that you'll have to be older than that." A.-4 yHE Wood River valley, in those days, waa distinctly not tne beauty spot It Is now. In fact, it was an arid desert, with a pecu llarly light, powdery soil that drifted before the wind In choking clouds It was only with the coming of irri gation that It became one of the great grazing districts of the west. Incidentally, Llnsey relates that the builders of the first ditch were assured solemnly by a local resi dent that they couldn't get away with it that water would How through a -ditch down a mountain but the curvature of the earth would stop It on the flats. There were some funny ideas then, as now. THE first Industrial enterprise in the Fort Klamath country, and one of the first In the wholo Klam ath region, was a grist mill built on the present site of the agency by John P. Loosley. "When Mr. Loosley built his grist mills," Llnsey relates, "there wasn't a grain of wheat grown In the whole Wood River valley, and so far as i know none or at least very little In the whole Klamath basin. - "But that didn't stop him. He went right ahead and built his mill." IT takes courage to build a flour mill In a country where not a head of wheat has yet been grown. But, for that matter, It took courage to build railroads into the raw west, which as yet had not produced a single ton of what might be called "civilized" freight. The builders of the first railroads across the western deserts, where no homes or farms or factories yet ex isted, and John P. Loosley, wno didn't hesitate to build a flour mm in a country that had not yet grown a sack of wheat, possessed the kina of courage and daring and willing ness to take long risks that in a few short generations built this coun try from a raw, savage-infested wil derness to what It Is now. It is not the intention here to talk politics, but this writer's fear Is that the new dealers and the brain trusters and the rest of tne hcad-in-the-clouds crew that la now In charge of our government win DESTROY this dauntless spirit oi courage and daring that built our country. If they do, heaven help us in tne future. ONE more quotation from Lin say: "In those days, my father ope rated livestock all the way from the Rogue River valley to the Deschutes country, and we regarded it as some thing of a lark to move cattle from one end of this route to the other. We thought nothing of two or three weeks In the saddle. "Now, when we move cattle from Fort Klamath to the siding at Chiio quln (a distance of some ten muesj we send the saddle horses back in a truck and ride home on the cush ions of a car. "Times have indeed changed THOSE ere great old days wnen Southern Oreeon wa beintr hunt from the wilderness it was then to the paradise it is now. it's a pity that more of the few who now re main of that magnificent company of empire builders do not talk more frequently and more publicly of their experiences in that age that now is past. It Is a fascinating story, and we of today can't hear enough of It. TREASURY NOTE ISSUE PAR OVERSUBSCRIBED WASHINGTON.

Several skeletons with fragments of swords and ornamented pltrhers were found in the well near the "hench men's court." According to one of the many leg ends of underground Moscow, the re mains of fortifications built by the nobleman Kuchka m 1170 still exist. Moscow Is supposed to have been the center of almost constant warfare at that time. The Muscovites, fleeing from Na poleon, who captured the city, r.re said to have hidden their belongings In underground trenches and the famous library of Ivan the Terrible Is believed to be secreted somewhere in the city. - (Continued from Page One) themselves about the prospects. They also fear that this will be the first processing case to reach the supreme court. It may assume the importance of the Schecter case. Galling also is the fact that the Hoosac Mills Is none other than Wil liam M. Butler, former Republican chairman, friend of Coolidge. He is the receiver for the company. You never hear much any more about the Washington press corps be ing seduced by the government press agents or about the influence wrought by Mr. Roosevelt's sociable smile. On the contrary, there are vague mur murlngs among new denlers that the newsmen have turned against Presi dent Roosevelt; that they are now hostile. There Is no more substantial basis for the second assertion than there ever was for the first. Both contain about 20 per cent of truth. The fact ts a flow of news has set In against the president. Newsmen did not make the supreme court de cision on NRA, the house insurrection on the utility bill or the reaction to the tax plan. On a broad general average, they merely are reflecting a turn of events. Some are hostile, some are not. There has been little change. As for the press accnts. some few of them have taken advantage of the cessation of ' attack, to swerve their activities. Some (not a majority, perhaps) have forgotten the fact that they are public officials and have be come personal press agents for what ever boss happens to be over them They have begun functioning some what like the Hollywood press agents trying to publicize movie stars. In many cases this is not the fault of the press agent, but of the bosses, who want to see their names In print every day. The result Is not helpful either to the new deal or to newsmen. Let It be recorded for the record that the man who put his foot down on new expansive NRA legislation was Attorney General Homer Cummlngs. It was he who prevailed over the combined proposals of NRA-er O'Neill and four federal trade commissioners at an unrecorded White House con ference about two weeks ago. They wanted Joint action on new codes containing labor as well as fair trade practice provisions. Also they had Ideas about further strengthening legislation at this session. Mr. Cummlngs was "amazed" at their audacity. He is supposed to have told the president It meant venturing Into a shadow land of legality. Mr. Roose velt agreed. Hence the NRA Is to be what it is. a skeleton in the new deal closet, and nothing more. Mr. Ickes PWA sleuths never had a more unusual Job than the one giv en them a few days ago. They were Instructed to find a valuable foun tain pen lost by an Ickes assistant in the public works administration. Two detectives spent two days prowl ing In search of the pen. without re sults. No one thought of trying an advertisement in the want ad section of the local newspapers. mggtMLa Jt w. y u pan CYESIC SJk Saul ;a :vn r.i ra-rrare.i :.f .1 j i d 11; 1 ALL THIS WEEK Jacksonville Hiway Admission to grounds and Parting Space FREE Flight 'o Time (Medford and JacksoD County History from the files of the Mall Tribune of 10 and tQ Year TEN YEARS AGO TODAY July 9, 1035.
