If the bigots could be happy with convictions of their own It would be our pleasant duty to be letting them alone; They could be as blind to progress as they plessed, and welcome. too; We would not obstruct the pathways they were eager to pursue. But they will keep on Insisting that we must accept their creed. And they damn us for pursuing the enlightenment we need. IB. I. Ktser Poems) MEMBER EDI jyN The Recall of Governor Martin ABOUT three w eeks ago in 'Washington, D. C, one of the best known newspaper correspondents at the capitol said to, the present writer: "What did X tU you a yar ago about Ctoneral Martin? Oregon lost a good congressman but the certainly got a swell governor. Don't forget. I told you aol" A week or ten days later, in Minneapolis, another newspaper man was contacted : "So you are from Oregon? Prom what I hear you have a damned good governor out there. Wish we could borrow him." So on to Seattle, where the first local citizen we encountered remarked, among other things: '"Say X like the governor you have down there. Thanks to hta good example OUR Governor Martin got busy too, and things are beginning to clear up around here." These statements were volunteered, not solicited. In three widely separated parts of the country, the mention of Oregon immediately brought out the fact that in the opinion of outside observers, this state has one of the most capable, straight-shooting and outstanding chief executives in the coun try. It is no exaggeration to state, that in six short months, Governor Martin is well on his way to attain a NATIONAL reputation. WE wonder what the reactions of these three impartial and rlisinteresterl ohservers would have been, if we had told them thnt. wliiln finvernor Martin is liitrhlv rcearded outside of his state; WITHIN his state, there is no such unanimity of opinion; in fact, a movement for his recall, has already started! They wouldn't have believed it. They would have asked how and why, what had he done, or NOT done, what possi ble explanation could there be, for such action, only six months after his inauguration, and in face of such a splendid record, as he had made t ' Coulrl anvone. in Orccon. have civen them an explanation which any rational person could understand? We couldn't. Wc can't now. It is just one of those THINGS, beyond all RATIONAL comprehension; which we can t, and we don t be lieve anyone else can, understand. ' Yet there is the fact and only last Sunday, three days ago, the situation was regarded as sufficiently serious to justi fy Mr. Joe Dunne, one of Governor Martin's bitterest opponents in the last election, coming out with a public statement, oppos ing such action, and pledging his support and that of his fol lowers against it. All credit to Joe Dunne! It was a generous and public' spirited thing to do, and in that stand Mr. Dunne undoubtedly expresses the sentiment of all fair minded, right thinking people in this state, regardless of party, regardless of all personal considerations, regardless of EVERYTHING, but just common decency and fair play. If this is tlve state of public opinion and we are confident it is, then where does this recall agitation come from, when; does it get its support? It comes from a small group of political soreheads, marplots, self-seekers and radical agitators, who ever since Governor Mar tin's election, have been plotting, conspiring and wire pulling, to get him out, so they and their henchmen can get in. That's all. The drive didn't start-when the governor went into office. It started BEFORE, and when the true facts come out as they will eventually if this recall agitation goes on, it is safe to say, it will be found that no more than half a dozen, shrewd, unprin cipled and self seeking political racketeers are responsible. They care nothing for the state, its welfaro or its develop ment, they only care for THEMSELVES. Their sole passion is for place and power and what they personally can get out of it. So for months they have been sowing their poison, spreading their falsehoods, appealing'to the prejudices and pas sions of this faction and that, with only one end in view to "get" Governor Martin, the man who beat them in a fair and siiare fight and has played the game on the siiiare ever since in the shortest possible time. That is this recall agitation in a nutshell and nothing cWc Take theso political racketeers, who arc pulling their wires so cleverly underground, out of the game, and the recall movement would collapse in 24 hours of its own weight. F Governor Martin had indicated he would be one of the weak- est, most disappointing chief executives, this state had ever had still, plain good sportsmanship would have dictated that he at least be given a FAIR CHANCE. Six or seven months is too short to judge tha capacity or record of any man, who had just started to shape his policies and perfect his plans, as chief executive of a great state. But even Governor Martin's political enemies will admit his record to date has been quite the contrary, a record of strength, courage, and greater promise of constructive achievement, than has been the case in this state for at least a generation. Yet these self seeking trouble makers not only refuse to give him a chance, but from the very date of his inauguration have refused to do so. f OVERNOR MARTIN has a definite program for state devel opment. He knows what he wishes to do, and how it should be done. But what chance has he to do ANYTHING, what chance has his program or any other program to get any where, what chance in short has Oregon to snap out of its tail spin and go AHEAD, when the man who was given the job only seven or eight months ago, by an emphatic mandate of the people, is from the very outset, threatened and assailed, shot at from ambush, every time he tries to do something worth while, maligned and pestered, by this group of political pirates, who at every turn of the road keep yelling "recall recall recall!" 'ITTE have been through many political messes in the state of Oregon in our time, but never before have we seen any. thing more utterly indefensible and outrageous than this under ground and underhanded effort to secure the recall of Governor Martin, and in lieu of that to intimidate and bully him by con stantly threatening it. Fortunately the governor is a man who can't be bullied and can't be threatened. Strong arm stuff merely makes him stronger in his stand. .More fortunately, if this rival is ever set, it will nt only be beaten, but we predict the people of Oregon will consign those responsible for it, to political oblivion in this state forever. But it is unfortunate for the state its development, and the welfare of every person in it, when the state needs unity, harmony and cooperation, as never before that it should have nothing but political strife, dissension and turmoil.

Beverly Hills. Cal. THENTY-SBVEN PER CE A reader (P. J. D.) aged 48. five feet, eight Inches tall, weighed 323 pounds February S. Ten weeks later Tie weighed 160 pounds. Now the man Is probably making himself a nuisance to all his friends, for he likes to tell how he did It. i &?y-V -vrjB 1 r-ver mel onef instructions." he writes, when no one else will lis ten. "I never suf fered the least bit of distress, nor did I experience any let down during the entire ten weeks, nor did I crave food st sny time. I never missed two meals s. day that I was obliged to forego while on the diet. From the second week I felt better than I had for a good many years. My breathing seems deeper and freer, I am no longer subject to constipation. I am so light on my feet that I enjoy walking. I now find that I require far less food at meal time than form erly. I am full of pep and have more ambition to do things than I have felt for many years. In short I feel younger than I have felt for twenty years. Six-two pounds is a lot of weight to lose In ten weeks, but the amazing part Is that I lost that amount without suffering the least bit of distress or inconvenience, and I want to thank you sincerely. Dr. Brady, for the few kind words of advice you gave me, that have done wonders for me. My best wishes for your . . ." Hitherto letters like that were al most invariably from women. Prior to the publication of "Design for Dwindling" (the booklet which start ed P. J. D. on his downward path) only the women, God bless 'em, had the pluck to adhere to any reduc tion regimen. Fat men never could reduce. But as I announced here nearly a year ago, we have solved that problem by our newer knowl edge of nutrition, and now it Is easy for even & fat man to reduce. In fact the hardest part of the pro gram, for many overweight persons, seems to be the onerous business of sending the dime and the stamped addressed envelope for a copy of the booklet. Once over that difficulty, the rest Is easy going. I wouldn't speak so confidently about this U I had not tried the new regimen on the dog first. I disposed of twenty-five pounds of superfluous weight myself before I recommended the method to anybody else. And I don't think F. J. D. paints the pic ture too vividly. It Is all perfectly rational and physiological. After all, experience is the best authority in the world. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, July 24. Likely no one in the modern srene has made erudition seem so folkaey, as the tall, graying John Ersklne. The Pts- (tnh of h I g h brows, his pro fessional manner is for the lec ture room only. But when he un bends outside, a dignity shines through. Some may call him John but no one calls him Jack. A gentleman of extraordinary versatility, he is compter of distinc tion, a pianist of concert calibre, an author of best sellers such as "The Private "Life of Helen of Troy" and an after dinner wit. He can write Jolly piece for a sophisticated weekly aa well as a treatise for the London Mercury. Dr. Ersklne as a first nlghter dis plays a catholicity. He's always at the Shakenperlan and Ibsen revivals but is not averse to an occasional Scandals or Follies or a peek-In at Mlnsky's. Any hostess who can cap ture htm is certain to have her party labeled a success. A frequent Atlantic croaer, he is Just as popular in London, Psrla and Berlin. Princess Kropotkin - recently reported Ersklne's newest fad. He delves into statute books for goofy laws. In Colorado a law against fishing horseback. In Indiana against leading maids astray teaching them to roller skate. Floyd Gibbons recently buried his father In Washington. D C. After the services he had to fly to Chicago and from his hotel room phoned the mortician to send his bill by messenger. He made out a check, mailed it and flew. Later a pseudo Floyd Gibbons phoned the mor tician to send Ihe bill to a cafe, he hsd mlnplscrd the first one. And to send 2a0 in cash, his bankers check being that amount in excess of the bill. A faker, eye-patch anci all, got away with the deception. Harry P. Burton, as fug'.eman for the Cosmopolitan magaeine, is the most self-eTIaclng of the big shot editors. He is rarely seen in haunts of the literati, at the theater or night clubs. A thin, wiry fellow wita sparkling eyes, he Is a whlp-la5.h ot energy. Writers see him only tn hts office.

OFF IN TEN WEEKS Some good doctors who have had no experience at all with the method I recommend nevertheless decide off hand that it is no good. That Is a great weakness of medicine today. More than once I myself have con demned a new method or principle offhand, simply because I had never heard of it before or because there was no eminent medical authority for It, nothing In the medical liter ature to support the Idea. For in stance, I condemned the diathermy extirpation of tonsils, the injection treatment of hemorrhoids, and the ambulant treatment of hernia, here in this column, when I first heard about these modern methods. It takes a doctor a long while to learn that he can learn something not In the books. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Henderson and Haggard Ciuess Wrong Henderson and Haggard state in their book on "Noxious Oases" that "volatile substances may be absorbed through channels other than the re spiratory tract. The Ingestion of alco hol, the administration of ether by way of the colon, and the absorption of aniline through the skin, are ex amples" . , . (H, H. C.) Answer And that Is an example of the way of prolific medical writers they give their Imagination too much play. No one has educed any scientific evidence to support the notion that aniline is absorbed through the skin. My skin Is avail able to Henderson and Haggard for a test of this at any time they may care to settle the controversy snd my hash if I'm wrong. Cathartic Habit - Newspaper Item says Dr. - also flayed the giving of cathartics to children unless medical advice Is ob tained. By what else than medical advice Is the habit formed? Thanks to your excellent booklet No. 35 I am rid of the cathartic habit as well aa the constipation habit . . . (S. J. R). Answer Perhaps the habit does go back to medical advice of that sort. However, few persons think of ask ing a physician's advice about tak ing cathartics. Any victim of the habit may have a copy of the book let "The Constipation Habit." by asking for It and Inclosing 10 cents coin and stamped addressed envelope. Do not inclose loose stamps. J. Doe and R. Roe N. B. I am 41 years old. What do you think of a person my age marrying. Please advise whether ... (J, H. F.) Answer I could advise more in telligently If you would divulge whether you are Joe or Julia. Ed. Note: Persons wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letter direct to Dr. William liratly.

Mr. Bul litt said: "Fine, put It in writing." This explains the "surprising" nat ure of the published promise from Htvinoff In unofficial note form.
