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

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

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

These problems, the great, transition problems in our civilizition

only consult a physician and receive
proper treatment.
Knowing doctors, medicine and

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

their physicians and too often drift

women that such troubles sre part

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

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.

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

than the exception.
That la one reason why kings have

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
