C, by the local Boy Scouts possible, and even heartier congratulations to the lucky boys selected to represent this district at the National Scout con vention. A trip to TVasliingfon tor anyone at any time is a creat privilege. But think of the young lad in his 'teens, who in all liklihood has never been far from home, to set out on such a journey, the whole world and an entirely new world before him, what an experience, what an adventure I "We envy these young men, and we envy Frank Hull, who has been selected to go with them, and direct the excursion. What a lark for them, and what a joy for him I There is no substitute for youth its health, its abounding vitality and keenness of its interests, the sensitiveness of its impressions. The nearest approach to it for the oldsters, is close association with the young, sharing their joys and thus in a sense reliving their youth. The Boy Scouts organizations, more than any other, sup plies this opportunity. The boys set sail tomorrow into what for them is the "Great Unknown." They should be given a real send off, by the people of The Mail Tribune takes this voyage," a safe journey, and a happy return! It seems super fluous to wish them what they can't miss a "SWELL" time! As the Pendulum Swings IN LOOKING over our files the other day, we happened to hit upon an editorial which struck ua aa being extremely timely at the present moment It was written in answer to and ardent supporter of President Roosevelt, who asked us to forget our narrow partisanship tration a fair chance. Yes, that probably sounds incredible to some of our readers, nevertheless there it is, in the IT SEEMS the Mail Tribune had criticized the administration for going into the manufacturing business and competing directly with private business, and this protest from the ardent Roosevelt supporter was the result. In answer to that brick bat, we declaimed and deposed at aome length, the nub of the matter being in the following con densation: "The Mull Tribune hM the Mm. Attitude toward the preMnt administration It had toward all admlntatratlona. It aupnorta It when It believe! It to be right, opposta It when It bellevea It to be wrong. In thla manufacturing bualneaa It bellevea It to be wrong, and haa aald ao. In the main featurea of Its "new deal" It bellevea It to be right and haa also aald ao. We perdlct the time will come when not only Preeldent Mooaevelfa extreme popularity will wane, but when many of thoee waving their hat and declaring he can do no wrong, will be throwing "dead cats" and declaring he can do no right. When that time cornea, we alao predict, the Mall Tribune will be giving the President far more loyal support, than many of thoee so ear to give him Up service now. perhaps far more loyal support than those who are its crltlce now." How soon we forget! We admit we bad forgotten that par ticular incident, and we have no doubt most of our readers had. Having supported the administration on the principles of its major program, for so long a time, we had the impression this had always been so. Aye verily, how fast time flies, how completely conditions change; how true a statement may be one day and how false a short time later. But we did call the turn, and it is interesting for us Ht least, to note the fact at the present time. WHERE are those hat waving citizens NOW, who early in J 9.15 were falling over themselves, to get their blue eagles in their windows and join in the rising chorus that in Franklin D. Roosevelt this country had the greatest president since Abreham Lincoln. And they weren't all ardent Democrats either. Not by a jug full. We could name some prominent Republicans who were up in front leading the procession, if we wished to and also wished to lose a few old subscribers! I'R experience may have been exceptional. But we will say this for it has BEEN our experience. During the past two or three months, to hear anything GOOD of the President written or spoken, has been as rnre, as two years ago fo have heard anything ILL. Tea, we called the turn. And that revolving old worm called it. to. It required no wisdom, just the faculty of observation and experience. For the higher they go up, the farther they fall. The more popular a President when he enters office, the more unpopular when he goes out. Look at Wilson, Harding. Hoover and now Roosevelt. You don't believe it! Then read over tbe newspaper files and admit yon don't know. Even "Cautious C'al" Ooolidne. entered the White House acclaimed by all, went out as the "farm hand in a frock coat" and the man who was "weaned on a pickle." He only escaped a worse fate because he "didn't choose to run." Yes it was ever thus and probably always will be. We as a people simply dote on extremes. We can't resist swinging the pendulum far in one direction and then just as far in the other. Today the pendulum is at one extreme. Two years ago it was at the other. If the Roosevelt luck holds, perhaps it will be swinging back again in l!3fi November!

AND THOSE NOT BO YOUNG AS THEY WERE After all. you would think it ought to be a simple matter to settle tbla controversy over the permeability of the skin.

But for some reason or other the opposing side prefers to leave the question In the air. Guess the reason. Whether anything' applied to the surface of the sic In can nourish, feed, tone or otherwise Influence tissues under the surface or not. this much is self-evident. thAt a young skin has plenty of natural oil secretion (se bum) on It and consequently requires no cream or other unguent to pre serve the complexion. Rather than cream or oil the you.ig akin Is kept clear and soft and beautiful by plenty of plain soap and water washing. Older skins, on the other hand, are likely to have insufficient sobum or natural oil to keep the akin smooth, soft and warm. Accordingly one whose skin la not naturally oily may with advantage apply dally to the skin some oil or cream which con tains oll.s This prevents roughness, harshness, sallowness and Irritation of the akin. The older skin should have the least possible contact with soap And water, preferably using oil or cream to cleanse It. Always Immediately After washing the skin should have an application of oil. only a few drops, to take the place of the nat ural sebum or skin oil removed by washing. There la nothing better than rose water ointment (standard "cold cream") for use on the skin where oil U required. This does not keep well if not freshly msde. It la a troublesome task to make eold cream, but women who know find It worth the trouble. Directions given In the U. S.

The sudden flood of detective magazines, featuring "inside facts," has become a phenomenon of the publishing field. More than a dozen, weekly, semi-weekly and even tab loids, have burgeoned since first ot the year. And they have produced a new type of lurid 2-cents-a-wora writer who works with all the ter rific speed of the old-time reporter for the beat. Each Issue plays up the serialization of the life of a big shot mobsman, such as Dillinger and Pretty Boy Floyd. In the meantime the higher claas magazines, or -slicks." are In a quandary over the dearth of more accomplished mystery and detective story fictioneer. In the past few years death has removed Louis Joseph Vance, Edgar Wallace. LeRoy Sutt, Arthur Somers Roche and Earl Derr Btggers. These were master craftsmen who entertained such distinguished disciples of the exciting plot as Woodrow Wilson, Chief Justice Hughes and others of that ilk. The field Is now left almost clear to four English writers, E. Phillips Oppen helm, Agatha Christie. Sydney Horler and Valentine Williams. A mystery writer with sn amaz ing following In the "pulps"' was Clarence Herbert New. For years he concocted a monthly article cap tioned "Free Lancing tn Diplomacy.''

Foreign Correspondents In Germany Face News Muzzle." Why? Well, the chances are they printed something the Nasi chiefs didn't like. When that happens under dictator ships, the reporters get Into trouble. f- ALONG the same line, here la an Interesting dispatch: "Robert Wagner, commissioner for the state of Baden, speaking in Ber lin to an audience of 70,000, said: 'He who in the future attacks na tional socialism the philosophy of the German nation la our enemy. He will be treated aa such. " 'We are able no longer to indulge In clemency.' " JUST how will national socialism In Germany treat Its enemies? It will probably line them up against a wall and shoot them, that being a time-honored habit of dic tatorsand national socialism tn Ger many, you know, haa taken the form of dictatorship. 44 IN TH-S country, beyond all doubt, there are Influential groups that are pushing us, with all their might, toward national socialism tn some form or other. Let's lay back our ears and refused to be pushed. This country. Just as our forefathers built It, is a MIGHTY GOOD PLACE to live. TPHE senate and the house have passed, and the President will probably sign, a bill regulating Inter state movement of trucks and buses. Just aa railroads are now regulated. The result. It la altogether prob able, will be higher bus and truck rates, which will be good from the standpoint of the railroads, but not so good from the standpoint of the shipper. The thing to remember that as soon as we start winding an industry up in government red tape the price of its product to the consumer GOES UP. That was true In the case of the railroads, and will probably be true In the case of trucks and buses. - Communications A Modern Barbara Trltrhle? To tht Editor: Aa history la measured.

The words that she uttered have become Immortal aa also the gal lant command of Oeneral Jackson. Times change, but the quenchless desire for public service carries on from generation to generation. Public spirited women of today are opposed by forces that are not po simple. They must confront the onslaught of a controlled press; they must look unflinchingly Into the muzzles of machine guna loaded w-ltn false propaganda; they do not face the clean bullets from the columns of rebel ranks, but they do face a steady barrage of misrepresentation that Issues forth dally from the j columns 01 ine press.

You were very fair-minded In your con alderatlon of California and her lynchlnga. And to By "If legal Jus tice were quick and lure In thla country, aa quick and sure for ex ample aa In England there would h. nn MVluat nf Ivnch law." Is. nO doubt, very true. But why be so unfair and add? "At leaat not norm of the Mason and Dixon line." I am not from the aouth. I am a Caltfornlan. but I resent and pro test the unfairness of tha above re mark. You aald: "The early pioneers were not Inherently lawless In fact, the reverse. It waa because they cared so much for law and order for the security of life and property." Why may not these be the causes of lynchlnga everywhere? Why ex clude aouth of the Mason and Dixon line? None of them excusable or Justifiable, but If you make allow ancea for some, why notfor all? Your article la a good article, and timely, but I feel there Is no excuse for unfair Insinuations that dis credited an otherwise good editorial.

Later Sleuth Blanton rode Congressman Patton over to the committee to deny the charge. Few Informed persons here believed that there was anything In the story. It was such a Joke In Washington that a Texas newsman walked around town for two days carrying a cigar box under his arm, Inciting f jople to ask him about It. When anyone did. he opened the box and displayed two one dollar bills. The inferential charge served the purpose of creating a vague general suspicion against congressmen who supported the house bill, but appar ently It made no difference in the vote.

A Democratic floor leader of the senate waa preparing to attack and expose the confidential letter not long ago but the White House told him to forget it. White House authorities reason that public mention of the author of such a charge would give him a recogni tion that he does not merit, even as an adversary. Something happened to the house Republicans In the tax fight. They fatled to make much of a showing. The reason apparently was that Speaker Byrns outwitted Republican Leader Snell. Byrns first announced the tax bill would be Jammed down the throats of Republicans In three days. Then he beean to pat them on the back. He agreed to curatil sessions ao they could go home to dinner each night. He agreed to curtail sessions so they until Monday.

They helped to spank the Huey Long bloc, offered few amendments. In the end they co-operated so much that thlr op position washed out Into nothing Im portant. Byrns Is chuckling tn his sleeve.

Banks, life termer In the Oregon penitentiary and Dan Kella her, then a member of the state pa role board, whereby Kellaher was to work for Banks release and was to get 50.000 if successful la one of the biggest scandals In many years In this state. People should reserve Judgment: the thing seems too shocking to ha true, but a photostatic copy of the contract was introduced at the gov ernor's hearing on the Banks case Friday and Krllaher who was present is quoted as having admitted its au thenticity. It Is claimed that Kellaher was also to work to get properties al legedly owned by Banks resto ed to him and If successful was to get 200. 000. This Is plainly material for a grand Jury Investigation. The charges strike at the Integrity of a former state of ficial charged with the responsibility of determining the length of sen tence of prisoners. If he has been seeking to profit from his activities in this manner the full penalty of the law should be applied. With this revelation there Is sura to be fresh suspicion of past exer cises of clemency in this and other cases. The ease with which criminals get out of prison has been a near scandal. There has seemed to be lit tle advantage In convicting crimin als, only to have soft hearted or headed governors and parole boards release them. There should be a searching Inquiry Into this whole sit uation, otherwise suspicions, perhaps unjust, will persist. Baker Democrat Herald.
