Thu, Congressman BoUnd, spects to Father Cliarles K. Couglin of Detroit, the well known radio priest, as he shook hig fist, at a representative of the clerical advocate of inflation, who sat in the gallery of the House of Representative!. x Strong words I But no stronger than those used by Congressman 0 'Conner of New irork, two days before, when he threatened to kick the reverend father all the way from the capitol building to the White House, when and if he called, in Washington. Later Congressman 0 'Conner apologized, for his disrespect to the "clerical gnrb", admitted his language had been undigni fied, but explained that the attack on him by Father Couglin over the radio Sunday night had "made him mad." Congress man Boland however made no apologies, said he meant every word he said, and would say it again if occasion warranted. All of which, of course, entertained and amused the members of the Lower House tremendously. C'ORTUNATELY both of these gentlemen are Catholics. The other time Father Couglin got on the front page, his antag onist was also a Catholic and a good one, none other than Alfred E. Smith. So the country is spared a controversy due in any Bense to religious prejudice, or calculated in any way to arouse it. Nevertheless the incident is very unfortunate, and the blame in our opinion rests upon Father Couglin, not because of his political and monetary views; whatever they may be he has a perfect right to hold them, but for his constant incitement, over the radio, of bitter controversy and endless political agi tation. ' ' e e a e e 'T'lIESE two representatives used strong language, but how about the language Father Couglin used in the first placet In stirring accusative tones, the Detroit priest branded the congressman from Pennsylvania for opposing the Frazier Lemke refinancing measure, a "tool of Wall Street, an assassin, and a burglar." "Just because yon are a member of congress, and the same church, do you have to take that!" asked the enraged Mr. 0 'Conner. The answer is he does not. x But the deplorable feature of the entire situation is that both because of his POSITION and his TACTICS, Father Couglin is responsible for mixing two things that should never be mixed, religion and politics. He should do one of two things: devote himself entirely to the former or to the latter, not try to do BOTH I For the inevitable result is just what we have now, a bitter and undignified controversy, befitting no cause or person, in juring AIJvl Takes TITE railroad question in American politics was on the boards for 30 years. Thirty years seems a long time. Tet the issue was difficult. It had a dozen hard problems within the main question. It could not be solved without the clash of give and take that came from long, free discussion of an issue before the American people. So while we were answering the railroad question, it was a vital issue upon which many a congress fell, a new congress came in and fell again and again. But in the end the matter was settled. The great problems facing thia country, each 10 times great er than the railros.l problem, can only be solved finally through the democratic processes, gaining a little here, losing a little there; giving something on the one hand, taking something on the other. WE MUST INEVITABLY, WHEN THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED, REDISTRIBUTE THE GROSS INCOME OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SO THAT THE AVERAGE HONEST. HARD-WORKING MAN CAN HAVE A JOB AND CAN FUEL SECURE IN HIS OLD AGE AND CAN ENJOY A LIVING STANDARD WHICH WILL GIVE HIM SELF-RESPECT, BUT BELOW WHICH HE CANNOT FALL IF HE IS DILIGENT AND HONEST. We must redefine business honesty in terms of new business methods. We prohloms. This cannot be done by a brain trust, however keen These problems, the great, transition problems in our civilizition which will sustain our Americnn democracy under capitalistic economic system, must he solved by the democratic process.

She evade socle 1 contact with her friends. She says she has been on the point of eon suiting her den tlst time and again, but al ways heaitatea she fears the dentist will only laugh at her . This girl's at titude Is no more senaeleas and absurd than the atti tude of thousands of individuals who drift along for months and years, suffering from minor trou bles which might be readily cor rected if the poor galoots would only consult a physician and receive proper treatment. Knowing doctors, medicine and surgery a X do, I suppose It is dif ficult for me to view thla matter through the eyes of the layman. It Is rather the thing we don't know or understand very well that we fear. Once the big noise of a metro politan newspaper, to which I was a contributor, who happened to be suffering with some chronic trouble. noticed In my column a remark which sent him straight off to a physician for examination. After the examination the physician assured the blighter that It was a minor condition, not malignant. For the scare I had given him, I got the air, I wonder how the man would have felt had the examination dis closed malignancy and timely treat ment saved his life? There are thousands of women ot middle age who are conscious ot slight disturbances, particularly wo men who have borne several chil dren, yt they hesitate to consult their physicians and too often drift along on the assurance . of other women that such troubles sre part of the "change of life." In most In stances this foolish notion Is re sponsible for discomfort which sim ple diagnosis and treatment would prevent. In some instances It costs the victim's life, for when at last ahe makes up her mind to go to the doc tor and be properly examined It is too late. I am not going to mention the reason why It is too late. Every NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NFW YORK, Feb. 19. Harry Hi recti -field is by long odds most persistent of the banquet boys.

And Instead of growing excess ively weary and completely fed up, he loves it. He Is also the champ attendant at theatrical benefits. A gracious, kindly fellow with a streak of the mawkish Broadway sentimentality, he like nothing better than to spin yarns and toast his Crlend. As founder of the Cheese elub, a nebulous luncheon organisation, he Is given e, public dinner himself every few years and revels in a deluge of banter and bathos.

Imagination comes Into play In such broadcasts and makes the Impersonation more starkly vivid than before the actual eye. So much so. Impersonators are in de mand. I often wonder why some perform ers change their names. Fred Allen Is a sample. His real moniker Is John Florence Sullivan, a name that has extraordinary swing and eclat. What a name for a romantic Irish actor I I once knew a river boat leading man with an actual name that was a nat ural Don Phillip Starling. Among the troupe they called him "Slats." While young Cornelius Vanderbilt still resides st the forbidding man sion of his parents on a corner of the aristocrat of street, he seems actually to have said "farewell to Fifth ave nue," socially at least. There are few night club openings that do not list his presence, the Broadway crowd greet him w1th the good-old-boy familiarity and calls him -"Neilly."

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS 1 1 EAT HER headlines dominate the Yr newa on the day this Is written This one is a sample: "Suffering Grows as Record Storm Grips New Areas." The new areas mentioned Involve practically the entire nation, and the storm manifestations Include wind, snow, sleet, earthquakes and dust storms. THE storm la world-wide, as this headline Indicates: "European Storm Deaths Pass 300 Mark." Winter gales and sub-zero temper attires are responsible for these fa talities, and for about 1,000 Injuries caused by accidents resulting from the storm. In Bulgaria, 15 persons were killed In a train collision caused by snow and wind dsmaglng signals Here In Southern Oregon, we've been slightly uncomfortable for the psst few days, but apparently we're getting off easy as usual, where weather Is concerned. , IN IOWA, 100 men raid tha coal 1 yards of the Burlington railroad at Creston, In the southern part of the itate, and cart away coal In hand sleds, toy wagons, tubs and sacks. Twelve of the raiders are arrested, and of the twelve nine are WPA work ers, one a national youth administra tion worker and one on relief. The home of those arrested were reported to be without fuel, due to owa's coal 'shortage. QOMETHING wrong there. Practically the whole of Southern Iowa la underlaid by low-grade coal. much of It so near the surface that the veins can be exposed by 'a man with V shovel and the coal loaded into a wagon or a truck. Even three years of the New Deal haven't been able to cure whatever It Is that 1 wrong. THE Count of Jovadonga, heir to the Spanish throne (there Is no Spanish throne, you know, Spain having gone republic) Is believed to be dying In Havana, of hemophilia. Hemophilia la a tendency to pro fuse and uncontrollable bleeding from even the slightest wounds. It Is usu ally hereditary, and In the case of the ex-royal house of Spain Is believed to be the result of long generations of Inbreeding. SINCE the beginning of time, live stock growers have known that Inbreeding la costly and fatal, and precautions have been taken to guard against It. But In Europe, particularly, and over much of the world in general, the snobbish Idea grew up early that royalty must mate only with royalty, and MUSTN'T defile It blood with commoner blood. As a result of that snobbish theory, Inbreeding became In time almost unavoidable, and mo ron kings became nearer the rule than the exception. That la one reason why kings have become scarce. 4 (Continued from Page One.) damagea In connection with the pay ment of Illegal processing taxes, stockholders get Into thst angle of the suing business. It will open a pretty pandora's box. The Inside suspicion (even among many new deal lawyers) Is that the court seemed to be lined heavily against a federal power yardstick pro gram. Also Justice Hughes, Van De van ter. Sutherland, and Butler seem ed to reserve grave doubts that other dams would be able to meet their constitutional test. Even the Wilson dam did not meet the constitutional requlremetns of Justice McReynolds. That makes five, a majority of the court. Of course, lawyers differ on which of the other dams will be able to meet the new legitimacy test. Nobody opinion will be worth anything from a practical standpoint unttl the court decides the constitutionality of each dam on it varying merits as to na tional defense, commercial navigabil ity, flood control or Irrigation. New deal lawyera are' Inclined to take a philosophical attitude person ally. One remarked off the record : "The grim rearer will probably change the constitutionality test of the court before most of the stock holders' cults get to it. "The only practical effect of the decision I ee Is that It will make good bustness for lawyers." The fine legal hairs drawn In the TVA decision are supposed to have been too fine for one supreme court Justice. There I a atory rolna around that he orlftnally attempted to write the majority opinion, but his draft pro-ed unsatinfactorr. Afterward Chief Justice Kughea took up the writing of ths opinion and oompnsed the careful phrajteolif y required. Of course, no one pretends to know eiaclly what went on In chambers.

But this story would explain th. unusual deiav in rendering the opinion. The court authorities ac cept It aa probably true. Another less imposing yarn haa been going around that Chief Justice Mucrhaa la determined to prevent any more five to four decisions by the court. New Deal legal authorities particularly have been saying sorio nor that the chief lustice has decid ed five to four decisions are bad lrom a standpoint of public policy.
