The Presidential Election A GREAT many good people are looking forward to the presidential election, with genuine dread. They fore.ee vicious, vindictive, bitter campaign, injurious to businesg, dis rupting friendships, even dividing families. They wih there were some way to avoid auch turmoil and dimension, snd go about the business of electing a new President, if not exactly in spirit of sweetness snd light, st least in an atmosphere of reasonable sanity and good feeling. IT WOULD be nice! This paper wishes it might be done. But human nature being what it is, we fear, it can't be. When important issuea arise, when men's feelings are strong ly aroused, because of them, certain excesses, particularly in the realm of verbal expression, can't be avoided. And violence of expression grows by what it feeds on, forming a vicious circle leading to other violences, the opposing forces growing in nut and volume through contentious contact like the proverbial snow ball, with frequent collisions and explosions within the body politic inevitable. BUT after all this apprehension proceeds from regarding only one side of the question, and that perhaps too intently. There is another side, which comes under the law of compensa tions. Presidential elections arc never very soothing or polite af fairs. They are at best accompanied by a lot of noise and fury signifying nothing. But this year there will be something more than noise and fury, something worth fighting about. For the first timo since the World War (some might even claim since the Civil War) the two major parties, Republican and Demo cratic, will be divided on far-reaching and fundamental issues. THIS js something. In fact, in our judgment, it is a great deal. It clears the political atmosphere; it injects reality at last into the quadrennial struggle. It will have its drawbacks of course, but undernenth all the hulabaloo and crazy snake dancing, there will be a significant and important contest going on, the final result of which will have a determining effect upon the future course of this country for the next four years, perhaps for all time. To this paper at least it will be refreshing at last, to have a presidential campaign which will be something more than a sham battle between Tweedle Dum and Twecdle Dee; something more than merely a contest to determine whether an organization with ONE political label, or a similar organization, DIFFER ENTLY labelled, should get the political spoils. a a a a a K GREE or differ with President Roosevelt, no fair minded person can deny he has had a DEFINITE program, and in carrying out that program or attempting to do so, he has created a new politjepi party which deserves the title of Liberal (arty. He is being opposed now, he will be opposed during tha coming campaign, by another party, which though it will bear the title of Republican, will in reality be the Conservative party, made up not of old lino Republicans exclusively, but of thousands of old line Democrats, by men and women regardless of former party affiliations, who believe the prin ciples of the new party and the New Deal, are wrong, and, for the sake of the country, should be discarded and thrown into the ash can where they belong. IN other words there will bo in this ID.Hi campaign there are now except NOMINALLY, two new national parties in this country. Liberal and Conservative. And in reality it will be these two new parties, not the old Republican and Democratic parties which will fight it out this coming summer, and whose respective fortunes will be decided the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and incidentally the immediate fortunes of this country. That as we see it, is all to the good. It is really the result of NATURAL, not partisan forces, and gives this country what it should have had long ago, two large parties, divided on grounds of fundamental principles and representing entirely legitimate but inherently opposing, schools of thought. The Liberals in the coming campaign, will call the Conserva tives standpatters and reactionaries; the Conservatives will call the Liberals radicals and reds. It should be possible, of course, for two parties to get through a campaign without calling each other names, but as indicated above, it isn't. 'TWERE is a time for a country to go ahead fast, to make radical readjustments, to changing world conditions; there is a time for a country to go slowly, even to halt, for the taking of bearings and the consolidation of positions. Two auch parties are just as needed for tha proper develop ment and welfare of this country, as both gas and oil are needed for tho proper functioning of a motor car. Gas is for speed. But without oil for occasional lubrication, the application of gas alone would soon result in an internal heat and friction that would bring complete disaster. So with a genuinely Liberal and a genuinely Conservative party. Both aro needed, both have their useful' and necessary functions. It is up to tho individual voter to decide which is nseded at any specific time; not for the welfare of himself or his party but for the welfare of his country and the people in it e a e a a yilAT is e.vicnliiilly the decision the voters of this country will be called upon to make this next November. We admit it SHOULD be possible to reach such a decision, in an atmosphere of careful thought, conscientious study, mu tual respect, tolerance, and good will. But it isn't. We claim to be civilied we are in a fashion, hut we are not civilized enough for THAT I Press Comment The supreme court haa frowned upon the whole plan by which the farm prices In Amerlcs Increased nearly J 000 POO 000 In s brief J't yeare under the New Deal.

THE PASSING OP A Provided you have nothing wrong with your tonsils snd none of your Immediate relatives or friends Is In naad of treat ment for Infect ed tonsils, there Is s good deal of eardoUn humor In tha Is teat ut terance of the American Medl c s 1 Association on this question. "Whan tha public tasrns of ths dsngers snd complica tions that msy occur during ths removsl of tonsils by slec trocoagulatlon" (or si It Is pop- 1 ulsrly known, dlsthermy), "snd, . whst msy be even worse, lesv lng s burled focus of Infection from sn Incomplete removsl It will thun this operation u It would s rsbld dog." So wrote one Hsrry I. Mock, M.D., In an elaborata 10-page article discussing sll fields of electrosur gery under the segls of the Council on Physlcel Therspy. Nothing humorous about It so fsr. Is there? But give this sll-sround specialist snd suthorlty chosen by the A.M.A. to dsmn dlsthermy time. Here Is where you grin. In the very next paragraph Dr. Mock refers to the diathermy extirpation of In fected tonalls ss the "sslvstlon" of pstlents who need tonsil removal but srs bsd risks for the old-fsth-loned malor operation by reason of myocardial degeneration (heirt dls- esse) or sdvsnced tuberculosis or exophthalmic goiter.

For many years an Illness confined him to ona of tha apartments. Out of thla grew a sentimental attach ment outweighing material gains.

Why csn some persons take bro mides nesrly sll the time without any trouble, while others have s skin rash If they take It for a little while? . . . Mrs. M. H. Answer I have no Ides. I think most persons who use bromides ha bitually or frequently show more or less acne (blackheads snd pim ples). Some physicians prescribe short courses of Fowler's solution (arsenic) from time to time to pre vent sens, where pstlents must take bromides for prolonged periods. Wheat to Eat. Please look over this announce ment of the new bread snd tell me whst minerals bread made from white flour, yeast, salt, sugsr, water, milk snd lard lacks. Mrs. A. W. Answer Send stsmped envelope bearing your address, for mono graph "Wheat to Eat." This tells you the difference between plain wheat (unground or ground) snd white flour. It gives you recipes for mak ing most sppetlslng things with plain wheat. It tells you all about the minerals, calories, vitamins, di gestibility of wheat or wheat bread compared with white bread.

But she fooled, quite pleasantly, the doctors and friends and now Is the chief merriment at many parties.

But the velvet sheathes claws of steel. His most stinging re buke was a poetical column on the Evening Sun 20 yean, ago which blis tered one of the Algonquin boys.

Communications College Fees Approved To the Editor: I have read with Interest your edi torials on the student fee subject, and the letter WTltten by Mr. Barton. I heartily encur In what Mr. Bar ton says, and think you are the one that Is wrong. You use as an Mlus tratlon "The Universal Tax," "The Water Fees." i fcnow of but one unl versal tax and that Is DEATH; any other that would not provide a unl versa) benefit, at least for tha people or this, country, would not be In ac cordance with our great "const I tu tlon." The water tax is by no means universal; neither is It compulsory by any means, and neither Is the gasoline tax or msny other taxes of similar nature. Tha things that the college fees are to be levied for are not compulsory or necessary to all the students, and I for one am not In favor of placing an extra burden upon those who can not afford It. and those parents who are going without In order to finish their children's education. There la too much attention paid to these things as It is, and many a atudent haa railed, by RlTing his at tention to these things. Iivtesci of the process of '.earning, and the re sultant loss has Invariably fallen upon those who can HI afford It And what has been the result to the pupil. It has made htm seiriah and greed, tin thoughtful, and careless knowing that lhoe wt.o are paying 'sciul sacrifice, yet h 'must' bav these things, snd In many esses hs resorts to crlrmnsl pursuits to pro cure them. No, Mr. Editor, fee once I find you wrong. W. B. CRAU8K. Medford, Jan. 7. Ed. Note: Tha argument above Is based en tirely upon the sssumptlon the extra currlculsr activities sre neither nec essary nor desirable; In fact, are pos itively Injurious. If this Is true then of course no f,ees should be csilected, snd such sctlvlttes should be abol ished. On the other hand. If such activi ties ARE desirable, not only organized athletics, social diversions, etc., but lectures, concerts (the Portlend sym phony for exsmple). mslntalnlng col lege bsnds. newspapers snd the like then certainly the expense should be born equally by those for whom the activities srs provided, so the cost per student will be reduced to the minimum. Because such activi ties msy be abused by a few, we think no reason for denying them to sll. Ths question comes down to this: Should our Institutions of higher lesmlng be devoted solely to class room work, with NO soclsl, sthletlc. recreational or cultural, activities outside of the academic curriculum, or should such supplementary activi ties be maintained, and college edu cation consist of not only whst the student csn get from books, but also what he can get from the various collateral departments snd Influences of college life? This paper believes there should be more In college than merely a four yeara' grind for the examination pe riods, thst a liberal educstlon should Include outdoor sports, soclsl diversions, the best music and lec tures the authorities can provide, snd that If a msjorlty of ths stu dents wsnt these things, they should be given to them, at the lowest pos sible cost per student. We sdmlt such a system may work a hardship upon the student who wants nothing but what he can get from his teachers snd his books, but such a student represents a decided minority. In college administration as in, other activities In a. democracy, the point to be considered. Is not the Isolated Individual but the greatest good for the greatest number. 4 (Continued prom Page Ona.) name aa a Republican presidential candidate )a not exactly new. Montha sgo a couple of Republican author ities put out Indirect feelers toward Roberts, Chief Hustlce Hughts and even Justice Stone (who haa since aligned nlmself with the so-called new deal school of legal thought). In each Instance, feelers shriveled. The three apparently were not Interested. Most Republican technicians are personally convinced that supreme court justices do not make good cam paigners. They remember 1918. Justice Roberts haa more Judicial personality than a.iyone seen In a toga around here In a long time. He does not read his decisions, as the other Justices do, but speaks them. This permits him to make his points with more emphasis. His voice Is stronger, and his delivery convincing. He speaks as if he deeply believes whta he say. However, If you com pare his spoken words with the later written opinion, you will find he has followed tha text exactly. He learns his decisions by heart at home ahead of time. Postmaster General Farley has the postmaster altuatton well In hand for the campaign. Proof of his quiet ac tivities during the congressional re cess may be found behind the hun dreds of postmaster nominations sent to the senate for confirmation the other day. The appointments were nearly all for new men, meaning, of course, that holdover RepubUcars are no longer holding over. A check of the vital states shows thst IS out of the IB appointees tor California are new men; five out of five In Connecticut; 14 out of IS In Iowa; five out of alx In Kansas; out of 99 In Minnesota: 17 out of 17 In Missouri; 10 out of IB in New York; 16 out of IS In Ohio, and 31 out of 34 In Pennsylvania, The house pages also failed to re ceive official cards of admission for the president's speech. They were more hurt than the supreme court. Rail Coordinator Eastman's Job is likely to be shelved by oong:eas, a though ha wants It continued.

Congress, unoer ths constitu tion, hss no power to suthorlsa tne government to regulsts tha crops sny man can raise on his farm. a. Congress hss no right, under tha constitution, to us one body of cltltena In order to psy snother body of clttsens to limit their pro duction for tha purpose of reducing the supply snd rsltlng the price. ON THIS proposition, the nine Justices of the tupreme court divided, six to three. It is probsbie thst throughout ths country there Is similar dlvltlon of opinion re garding AAA although not neces sarily in ths ssma proportion. AAA hss been s highly contro verslsl subject. A MONO those who will dlssgree with the majority members of tha supreme court will be msny (slthough not all) of the producers of cotton, corn, hogt, whest. pes mits snd rice, which were chlel among the crops receiving AAA bene fits. You csn hsrdly blame ANYONE who is being paid NOT to take rlsls and NOT to grow crept for want ing to continue that pleasant situa tion. Human nature is humsn nature. f-f BUT msny fsnners. even Including those receiving AAA benefit pay ments, have been shrewd enough to sea that under AAA American agri culture was headed for a headache. Hera la what we have been doing: Wa have been hiring American farmera NOT to produce, thus rais ing the level of American farm prices above tha world level mo making It possible for farmers in other countries to sell profitably In ths American market. In other words, foreigners have been selling to us whst we have been hiring our own fsrmers not to grow. Amerlcsn consumers, In effect, hsve been tased to provide a good market st profitable prices for FOREIGN PRODUCERS A sltustlon such as that can't continue Indefinitely. TO THOSE who believe ss this writer does thst Is, thst you can't monkey with the law of sup ply and demand without getting Into trouble sooner or later It Is a fair conclusion thst by stopping AAA now, before It hss hsd time to dls turb still further the normsl chsn. uels of world trade, the supreme court decision msy hsve the effect of PREVENTING ths hesdsche that was otherwise lnevltsble. N REALITY, AAA. NRA, snd sll 1 ths others of their kind, sre only minor side Issues. The res! ssue Is this: Shall we go on with the typically American Institutions thst were bunt up snd hsva flourished under tne form of government crested by the constitution of tha United States, or shall we THROW OVERBOARD the constitutions limitations under which we hsva operated In the psst so successfully sa to have become tha world's MOST ENVIED NATION and strike out Into waten that for us will be new, slthough they hsvs been sailed for centuries by the peoples of the older world? Thst Is the big Issue thst will bt before the Amerlcsn people In this political esmpslgn of 1039, ana ss the dsys go by It will loom larger and larger.
