Editorial Correspondence
EUGENE, Ore., Jan. 18. Another state editorial conference
hag come and gone. Thanks to an improved economic condition,
and Dean Allen of the School of Journalism, ably assisted by
Arne Rea, secretary of the State Editorial association, who
arranged a program rather more varied and interesting than
usual; there wag a large attendance, and a general spirit of
enthusiasm and good feeling prevailed.
Also thanka to the above, named gentlemen, the present
writer who a year ago was elected president of the conference,
and had to preside over its deliberations, got through the trying
ordeal without jamming the controls entirely and putting the
entire affair into a tailspin. There were a number of close calls.
But notes shoved tinder the presidential nose at the right time,
tactful motions from the floor or from the side lines, (the for
mer parliamentary; the latter muscular, of the semaphore type,
usually from the ante room door), paved the way for the routine
and, as far as known, prevented any major casualties.
a e
Not only was the program vsried and interesting, but it was
well constructed from a dramatic standpoint. It started out
slowly and quietly, gradually gained momentum, and proceeded
steadily to the proper climax, the final session being by all
odds the best of the conference. Herb Grey, advertising man
ager of the Mail Tribune, started this final session off with an
extremely informative and interesting paper on "service sells
spacf" followed up by a timely and stimulating talk on radio
in the smaller city newspapers and the future of television by
Harris Ellsworth, editor of the Roseburg Review and Hugh
Rail, editor of the Hood River News, respectively.
The boys and girls'from the school of journalism were all
busy taking notes while Herb explained his advertising policies
and theoriea, and afterward copies of his address were in great
demand. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and as the
Mail Tribune has one of the best advertising records in the
state, particularly in the local field, there was a universal desire
to find out how it was done, not only from the standpoint of
the newspaper, but also from the standpoint of service, in get
ting results for the advertiser.
The annual banquet on Friday night wss also better than
usuai because it was short, with no long winded speeches, and
adjournment coming in time for all the editors to attend the
basketball game between Oregon and 0. S. C. The Women's
journalism fraternity, Theta Sijjma Thi, gave a clever and
laughable dramatic stunt entitled "The Female Fizzle" depict
ing a scene in the Fizzle news room, and the regular newspaper
awards were made, whereupon everyone piled out and proceed
ed to MeArthur Court.
Had the game been mado to order it could not have been
more exciting and thrilling from start to finish, with the place
packed with over 7000 raving rooters and fans. It was not
only neck and neck all the way, but the underdog won, which
always puts an added punch in any athletic contest. And when
that underdog was the University of Oregon, playing on the
home grounds, of course the evening was PERFECT except
for the 0. S. C. team and their small group of supporters. There
was an added Interest for the southern Oregon delegation,
because the stars of the Oregon team, and its new coach, were
from the Ashland Normal. i
Filing out we found that one of the spectators had died from
excitement and weak heart It was no game for anyone with
a weak heart to attend. (Incidentally these fatalities at college
athletie contests, among spectators, appear to be increasing.
It might be woll for anyone in doubt to have a heart examina
tion before they decide to attend.)
The conference as usual ended with' the luncheon at the
men's dormitory, with Robert W. Lucas, editor of the Oregon
Emerald, acting as toastmaster and a youthful and engaging
Major Bowes. v
The lads of the school of journalism assisted by a few of the
young ladies put on the most original and clever stunt of I he
conference, the high light being a paper on the Rise and Fall of
Journalism by George Onllas of Portland. The retiring presi
dent (Sie gloria transit muiidi I) sat among this undergradu
ate grour, and we got almost as much entertainment from their
conversation before their performance, as the performance
itself. It took us back so quickly about 35 years, these kids
were so full of life and health and energy and so SCARED
TO DEATH I This lad Callas for example, couldn't cat a morsel
of food, never made the attempt. If this stage fright had put
him in a blue funk of course the spectacle would have been
puthetio and hard on what followed, but it takes more than
stage fright to put a good :nnn down, particularly when lie is
good and YOUNG Callas couldn't eat, and was smart not to
try, made no effort to disguise his nervousness, not only admit
ted lie was terrified but laughed at it, and largely as a result
of this attitude of mind, put on the performance of )is life in
fact stole the show. His paper was briefly a travesty upon a
serious after dinner speech, and his nervousness only gave an
added touch of realism to the side splitting performance. His
handling of a graph chart was a masterpiece of farce. If in a
spirit, of vanity or bravado he had defied nature and filled his
stomach with veal cutlets and mashed potatoes, no doubt the
alert Major would have given him the gong. As it was Callas
was the only one allowed to complete his performance. The
same idea was followed by the entire east, elaborate prepara
tions being msde for a long-winded speech and then just as the
speaker had finished his preliminary remarks and was about
to awing into high, bang went th gong I We have seen former
stunts put on by the undergraduates in the school of journalism
but this impressed us as by far the best, not only in the original
idea but the clever and skillful way it was handled. These
gridiron affairs are so apt to he full of false notes or forced
humt;r, drag out too long but the swift pace and bounce of
this "take off", never faltered or missed a beat. Incidentally
the final act wai put on by Fred Colvig of Medford, who gave
an impersonation of Napoleon's farewell address to his troops
the gong being so timed that it provided a perfect spot for the
final curtain, and the editors departed in great good humr

THE CRI AND
Of 44S patient, sent to a large
hospital for communlcabl dlMaae
presumably Ul of acuta poliomyelitis
(infantile paraly
sis) ss actually
had only naso
pharyngltls, "cold" to you,
granny.
Now It Is th.
opinion of phy
sicians who have
had th. largest
. x p. r 1 ene In
treating polio
myelltla that the
b a t treatment
In any case Is
Haolut. reat In
bed from the eery onset of the Ill
ness, plus physlolcglcsl rest of the
muscle. Involved, by means of suit
sble splint, or other supports ap
plied by the physician. It la defi
nitely harmful to permit the patient
to move about or to move th pa
tient unnecessarily In the early stage
of th nines. Why, then', were the
S patient, with nasopharyngitis
rushed off to a hospital a. "polio
myelitis" cases? Unqueatlonsbly be
cause of populsr pollo-phobla or
unreasoning fear of Infantile paraly
sis. And who creates and builds up
th pollo-phobla? Thos public
health authorities nd physician,
who ar. avid for publicity. They
"dramatize" the Infantile paralyale
scare Just as a health officer down
south dramatlr the rabies scare-
to keep the publlo conscious of the
Importance of public health work
and to assure sufficient annual ap
propriations to carry on the work.
Of eours It 1 comparatively
harmless to rush a patient to hoa
pltal when he has only acut enso-
pharyngltls. But It u a nit extrava
gant. Isn't it?
Don't mind what I say about it.
tho. I feel the same about th mad
dog business. In fact I'm an agnos
tic In reference to rabies In a man.
So my point of view la not the
orthodox one.
Of th 448 presumptive cases of
Infantile paralysis, 335 were cor
rectly dlsgnosed, a th cours of
the lllneas proved. I tell you. It
takes a mighty fin physician to
make a correct diagnosis of polio
myelitis In the first few day. of the
lllne&s before any pnralysls becomes
manifest, even In time of epidemic
when the physician is on the alert.
Of the 448 patient, hurried to the
hospital on auapldon, besides the
86 with only nasopharyngttta, 16
sctually had meningitis, 13 actually
had acute meningitis. IS actually
had acuta otltla media, ,18 had
tuberculous meningitis. JS had acute

tary Coolldge. Men with the combin
ation to th treasury vaults say Mr.
Coolldge did not suddenly become dis
pleased. Nor was there any definite
break on a definite policy.
Rather, they noticed Mr. Coolldge
month by month lately becoming
more and mora depressed with the
prospect of raising money to meet
more and more expenditures.
There la one new reason why the
experts believe that Messrs. Roose
velt and Morgenthau may safely raie
th money In prospect. It la that the
country Is no longer finicky on the
money question. If recent polls of
public opinion are sny Indication,
the people are thinking and talking
about spending, unemployment, farm
relief, etc., but not about Inflation.
In fact, the Inflationist bloc waa ao
weak on the bonus In congress the
other day that it was unable to put
up even a good fight. Two years ego.
Mr. Roosevelt hsd to trick them out
of putting something over on bl;n
(silver).
The other leasons ar the same old
ones which hare enabled the unpre
cedented financing done so far. Tiie
banks sre filled with money, have no
plec to lend vast sums, except to
the government.
The Inside on the tax situation la
aa clear as th imminence of unex
pected spending.
New dealers do not want any new
taxes before election. If they can help
It. They may have to Impose some
excise taxes In connection with the
new farm program, but they will hold
until the last electoral vote Is count
ed to delay the new generel tax legis
lation which the current situation
obvipusly demands. That la good po.l
tlca. It Is equally clear where the new
burden la going to fall when it does.
There Is no more real revenue In the
rich, because there ar so few rich.
Nor la there much more to be gained
from the poor, and everyone els, by
sale and excise taxes. After all. the
current state sales taxes are as much
as that traffic will bear.
There la only one place where the
government can get such revenue as
Is now being talked about That li
In taxes on Incomes below 50.000.
They will pay the bill
No on hare la paying any attention
to the new pressure campaign of the
committee for the nation. The Idea
prevalent on the ln.ld. her la that
opening of the gold market would
cause the price of gold to go down,
not up.
The resson why the agitation for
re-opening of the domestic gold and
silver market. Is not getting any
where either la that such action might
cause hoarding again. The current
financial situation Is not yet ao set
tled as to prevent a possible rush Into
two such bsalc commodities, out of
reapect to their fixed value, which.
Incidentally, ha. not been entirely
fixed during the last six years.
The tight-lipped secretary of the
treasury was conservative In his es
timates to the senators. Tit. truth
la he will probably hav. to raise a l it
more than .5 0O0 00C.000 In new
money during the neett seventeen
months.
He took a sub-bottom catlmat on
the bonus and an uudiacloeed relief
needa. Alao. he failed to figure In tht
new farm prcgram. a possible farm
tenant bill and a couple of billion
dollars of other possible odds and
ends. However, this does not alter
hla financing chances materially. Nor
doea the prcpect that he will have
to do about 19 000 000 000 of refinanc
ing in the nent 11 montha Refinanc
ing Is eomparsuvely easy.
But If the debt la not upward of
H 000.000 000 before he geta through,
a lot of lm-ortant silk hata will bt

In robust health, and Ellsworth I
suffering only from a cold.
THE two explorers started a flight
over the south po' region, But
exhausted their fuel and had to
land. Their plan, howvr. was sup
plied with food and shelter, so they
set up housekeeping and settled
down to the business of living.
A transmitter switch on their
radio failed, so they were unable
to notify th. outsld. world of their

ON th. eame day that Bllswortn
and HoUlck-Kenyon axe found
In th. Antarctic. Rudyard Kipling
dlea In London.
In a sense, Kipling was also n
explorer for he found India and
brought' It to the knowledge of the
reat of 'th world. But for Kipling
and his pen, million, of people
throughout the world to whom India
Is reasonably familiar would have
known little or nothing of It.
This thought 1 Interesting:
If on. man had th ability to
write of Oregon aa Kipling wrote 01
India, Oregon would becom known
throughout the world.
The power of the pen 1. great.
WHAT happens' when th king ol
England dies?
Well, the Prince of Wale becomes
king, and after that everything goes
on much as before. The king ot
England ha. llttl power In the
Brltl.h government, such power
he has depending more upon his
personality than otherwise.
The fate of England 1. dependent
in no way upon th. fate of the
king.
H
IT was different ten centuries go.
Then the king of England was
the RULER of England hla will
absolute and hla lightest word law.
He had autocratic and unquestioned
power over the lives, the bodies and
th property of his subject..
Th death of the king then meant
something TREMENDOUS, for If he
were a good king, people feared that
his successor would bo bsd and It
he were a bad king they hoped his
successor would be good.
But they, themselves, had nothing
to say about It; they could only
wait and take what cam to them
whether good or bad. ' "
Time. hav. changed a lot since
then end for the better.
