Decision , I EGAL technicalitiei aside, - that is concerned) we fail government to enter a state and with the private companies of a state, and secure agricultural growers. In fact as far ag danger to the established economic system is concerned, we would regard the former as far more serious than the latter. Frnnkly we don't like the government entering business in competition with private business, EXCEPT as a last resort. However the more one studies the light and power problem, the more apparent it becomes, that the government went into this department of the public last resort. TIB ideal system would be state regulation and control of public utilities under private ownership and operation. But like many other ideals this system has never worked. The reasons are too many and complicated to go into at this time, but the fact remains, that aa far as securing fair rates and elim inating abuses are concerned, state control has in practically every section of the country been a complete and dismal failure. So as President Roosevelt explained in Portland, before his election, where the privately owned power companies were giving good and satisfactory service, he would not favor govern ment competition; but where they were not and where no amount of persuasion could make them do so, he was in favor of reaching for that switch in the cupboard, and by setting up competing power companies, federally owned and operated, COMPEL them to do so. This is what has been done under the TVA. And it is inter esting as well as significant to note, that to date it has worked. That is the private power companies in that section of the Tennessee valley, are still operating, and since the advent of TVA, at rates from 20 to 60 less than prevailed before the Muscle Shoals project wss contemplated. It seems fair to as sume, the people in that region and reasonable light and power not taken the action it did take. HOWEVER as above stated, from the standpoint of reason and common sense, we fail to see any consistency in the supreme court telling the agriculture by devoting federal with its program; but it CAN business, by devoting those same with some OTHER program. Not that it is necessary we were estopped from handing layman couldn't understand, well we fear none would be handed down, or at least not more than two or three in a life time I WHAT the ultimate result of future can disclose. While phases of the TVA set-up, it did uphold the right of the govern ment to sell surplus light and power, developed incidentally to construction and operation of dams, in aid of navigation. This would seem to remove all doubt of the legality and permanence of Bonneville in this state. Incidentally it is rather amusing to observe the newspapers in this state that enthusiastically approved the AAA and NRA decisions, falling in line and accepting this TVA ruling, with such evident satisfaction. We ing. If concentration of power in the federal government and attempts to control business and agriculture from Washington are undesirable, then why is not a similar concentration of power and effort to oontrol the light and power business, EQUALLY undesirable I It's too deep for us. No doubt it all when he said it depended upon whose baby had the measles 1 The "Man 11 ANT years ago there was a play which attained consider able popularity entitled, "The Man From Mars." A suave and charming English gentleman by the name of Charles Haw- trey took the leading part. Hawtrey was suave, charming and also extremely selfish. There was nothing wicked or put bis own selfish pleasure rough shod over anyone or anything that opposed him. Suddenly the man from Mars a tall, silent and sinister gentleman, wearing, as we recall a spanpled suit of one-pieco underwear, and followed by a bluish spotlight, getting him out in an eerie fashion, for the moment he appeared, the stage lights always The Man from Mars not only the secret thoughts of all the over the early 00 equivalent of to employ on poor Charles to that gentleman's great discom fiture. Every time Charles wss all set to go his usual selfish way, out would go the lights, there would be the Martian, menacingly poised, in his aurv of blue light, and whaml Charles would have his cars slapped down, and find himself completely in the unwelcome visitor's power. We trust the idea is sufficiently plain. Charles wsa reformed, of course, and unless we are mis taken, just as the final curtain fell, had his arms around an exceedingly comely English girl. WELL we believe that play might well be revived and changed slightly to conform to modern conditions. Let the Man from Mars come down to earth and look over the self ishness not of individuals, but nations, and proceed to get to work on them! For what would he seet A world still suffering from one war, and yet rushing hell-bent into another; a world with most of its ills, its heart-breaks and trsgedies, esused by armed con flict, jet determined to plunge Into armed conflict, just as soon as certain higher-ups decide to give the word.

If the right healed enougn then Z might have the collapse. But they told me X had no chance to get well and had Just as well go home. About this time I procured a copy of a book you recommended Fan nie Benson Rogers' "Want to Get Well?" I derived much help from It and decided maybe I could get well. I came home In the spring of 1936 so weak, sick, discouraged ana almost helpless. I weighed Just 89 pounds. I am 29 years old, 82 Inches tall. I called a young M.D. who has been In general practice In this vil lage about four years. He gave me some form of powdered creosote cap sules and calcium and phosphorus wafer and halibut liver oil.

So Street was besieged by editors for more articles on wines. He mi ni led. many requests, but was becom ing fed up. Then came repeal, and the pressure was greater than ever. When he tried to write on other top ics editors showed only passive in terest. They wanted his vlewa on wine.

When the great war came he employed them again and they were the basis tor his amazingly accurate predictions. He was a bit ashamed of his toys and hid them from close friends.

The pleu ral cavity on each side of the tho rax or chest la normally a closed space containing only a few drops of clear serum which keeps the sur faces of lung and the Inner surface of the chest wall lubricated. When air Is admitted to this space K causes the lung to collapse. A mod ern method of treating tubercu losis Is by Injecting sufficient, air into the pleural or chest cavity to bring about collapse of the lung. If the opposite lung is sound It easily does the work of the lung thus put In a splint for tha time being. In the course of several weeks the air so Injected la gradually ab sorbed and the retracted or collapsed lung gradually expanda and begins functioning again. Then the pneu mothorax or Injection of air la re peated. I print Mrs. R.'s letter because It Illustrates three things. First, that even good physicians are not always accurate in prognosis. Second, that the patient's morale or mental atti tude is a factor In every case, Third, that the common, everyday, door - to - door general practitioner back In the old home town Is not quite the Incompetent wiseacre tu berculous patients who have been off to the big city would make him out to be.

McNaught Syndicate) Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS POLITICS again dominate the news, thanks to former President Hoover's Portland speech. There will be very few days Indeed between now and next November when politics will not dominate the news. MR. HOOVER was by no means sparing in his criticism of the Roosevelt administration, but two of his charges stand out particularly. This Is one of them: 'The explosive forces of inflation are being generated by the New Deal.' j What does he mean by those big '. word at Just this: By spending persistently; more than it collects In taxes, the New Deal la INVITING tht time when ! the government will begin to pay Its bills with printing press money. HERE Is the other charge; "President Roosevelt handd everybody a cut tn waees when he rte valued the dollar." By that, of course. Hoover nieu. tht a 60-cent doUar won't buy as much as a 100-cent dollar; so, U you are ' getting paid In 60-cent dollars you have suffered a loss in your buy ing power. A LL of which, it must' be agreed. la true, unless you are getting MORE 60-cent dollars. If you are get ting enough more of them, you are breaking even. HOW many votes did Hoover's Port land speech CHANGE? None at all. In aU probability. Those who listened to him aprovlng ly are against the New Deal anyway, and those who listened critically, or angrily, were merely made stronger for the New Deal. The speeches that are being made now aren't changing many votes. Not much vote-changing will be done un til it la known who will OPPOSE President Roosevelt. Until that Is known, the political fight won't be much more than sha dow boxing. SECRETARY of the Navy Claude A Swanaon- aged 74, la seriously 111 with pleurisy at the naval hospital In Washington, and as these worda are written his condition is reported to be "serious but not hopeless." He slipped In his bathroom, struck a chair in the fall and fractured a rib, the friction of the fractured rib, presumably, causing the pleurisy.
