As to Class Prejudice EVERY right thinking citizen deplores the arousing of class prejudice. It ii against one of our moat cherished tradi tions, that this is a country where no classes at least in the European sense exist. And its potentialities for harm, if carried to an extreme, everyone agrees are tremendous. Yet, no realistic observer can view the present political scene and deny that politically speaking, a more or less, clear cut class division exists. It is not unprecedented. A similar divi sion occurred when Theodore Roosevelt, fighting for his "square deal", and swinging his big stick, against the heads of his "predatory rich" and "malfactors of great wealth" finally left the Republican party, and formed his Bull Moose. And during William Jennings Bryan's first presidential campaign, the class division was even more acute. So it was, as far as that goes in the days of Jefferson and Jackson. But this does not alter the fact, that the arousing of one class against another in this country, whatever the came, and whatever the political justification, is extremely' unfortunate ; and if possible for the welfare of the country, as a whole, should be avoided. BUT with the conditions what they are, and the need for radical social and economic reform what it is, how can -this be doneT As we see it, it can't be, short of dropping that program of radical reform entirely. And if one will review the political history of this country, it will be dear, that under similar cir ciiiiiKlnnces it never has been. It is simply the price that must be paid, for any effort to change, in any fundamental and far reaching fashion, the status quo. OUT the destructive force of such a division, can be matcriully - reduced, if not removed entirely, by a greater spirit of toler ance and restraint on both sides. And when we say both sides, we mean BOTH sides. For this class prejudice business i not confined to one side by any means. A cartoon in the current New Yorker, by Peter Arno will illustrate whRt we mean, A quartet of typical "economic royalists" are standing before the open window of a Park Avenue residence, saluting the master of the house who, in evening dress, is enjoying his after-dinner coffee. Says one of the female members of the E. R. quartet the one in a dog collar and sable coat "Come along. We're going to the Trans-Lux to hiss Roose velt." And that, by the way, is entirely typical, it is being done, it's the thing to do, in the all our larger cities. those who have recently visited the East, can have the slightest conception of the intensity snd virulence of the class feeling AGAINST the man who happens to occupy the White House at the present time. And yet they are the ones who put the entire blame for shoulders of the president) while ing to it stupidly and malignantly in every possible wuy. I ET'S have loss of that sort of thing 1 And at the same time let's have less of the disposition on the other side of the fence, to misinterpret Roosevelt's program and regard it as a conflict of the "have nots" against the "halves", the golden opportunity for those .who consider tliomsolves the under privileged, not to get their JUST desserts but considerably more, while the getting is good. They are just its guilty on their side, as tho E. R.'s on the other. POR that isn't I lie Roosevelt idea at all, just as tho last tiling in the world the president wishes to do is arouse, PERMANENTLY, ono class against the other, for thnt would render impossible, the very thing, he is working so hard to accomplish. For what is President Roosevelt's REAL objective! It. is briefly the same as T. R,'g objective a SQUARE DEAL. He feels just as T. R. felt that unless this is to be made a good country for ALL of us, it wou't be a good country for ANY of us. TPHE most outrageous libel of this campaign has been the charge that Roosevelt is trying to destroy our democratic form of government. That is not only untrue, but the exact reverse of the truth. He is trying in every possiblo way to pre serve it, to so reform Democracy that it will WORK, When he looks over such authentic reports as that of the Brooking Institution regarding the social and economic condi tions in this country, he sees something is radically wrong, and (hat. a change in a system that produces such a condition is imperative, if democracy is to endure. He is trying, and ever since his inauguration, has been trying to bring thHt about. The spring of his action lies not in his devotion to one class or another, but his devotion to his country and all the people in it. OI'.t'.U'RE the defect in the present social ami economic set up, has rested with the rank and file the masses natur nlly his chief interest has been with them, to improve their condition. And because of this he has been accused of arouoing class prejudice I That accusation as above stated is, we fear, inevitable. It's the price that must be paid. But we do maintain that any fair minded person in possession of all the facts will agree, as impartial history will unquestionably record, that the charge is NOT true, Flight 'oTime Meilfnrtl and Jackson Count history from the riles of the .Mall rrlhiinr in and lo lean ato.

CHRONIC ARTHRITIS AS In earlier artlclea w explained how animals develop a Joint dlaeaae resembling arthritis In man, when their feed la low In vitamin O, and how this disabil ity clean up when thla feed la sup plemented with an optimal or more than ade quate ration of vitamin 0. A minimum ration of vitamin O (enough to pre vent scurvy) la estimated to be the amount con tained In 1W ounce, of tomato Juice (fresh or factory canned) or the same quantity of grapefruit Juice or 3 Va ounces of lime Juice 20 units. But an optimal ration for an adult would be furnished by four or more ouncea of tomato or citrus fruit Juice dally. Even If you have no tendency to or Intention of having arthritis, remem ber that prolonged moderate shortage of vitamin C, such aa one on a mini mum ration might get, though not severe enough to produce manlfea acurvy, may nevertheless account for lowering of general vitality, depres sion, lassitude, poor appetite. Irrita bility. And the only way to deter mine the accuracy of the diagnosis la by the therapeutic teat treat your self to an optional ration of vitamin C for a month or more and see. Haven't room hera to list all foods containing vitamin O. Many cases of acurvy In Infanta or young children are mistaken for "rheumatism" and Improperly treated on that basis. Twenty yeara ago I received a considerable number of letters from people living on the Atlantic sea board who declared that they had obtained extraordinary relief from "chronlo rheumatism" by adding a fair dally ration of wheat germ to their diet. We didn't know anything about vltamlna then. Wheat germ la the richest known food source of vitamin B, aa well aa an excellent source of vitamin O. One ounce of wheat germ contains aftO units of vitamin B. Normal adults require at least 80 units of Vitamin B for every 100 calories In their diet. A fair average dally Intake of calories for an adult doing light work la 3000. so such an adult needs at least 000 unlta of vitamin B.

Is thla the enlightened twentieth century we are living In? Or has the worid slipped back into the Dark Ages? THIS more or less familiar headline meeta the eye: "Dictator Takes Charge In Crisis." t Thla time It 1 In China, and the dictator la our old friend Chiang Kai Shek. But It has been happening all over the world with disturbing regularity. Every time there la a jam, some dictator steps In and takes over the works. There li a lot of TALK about dem ocracy In this modern world, but relatively little PRACTICE of It. IP WE had more real democracy and a lot l'&s dictatorship In this world, we would all be much better off. THE American Bankers' Assocla Mnn rlAfttntr lift 82 nd annual con vention In -Ban Francisco, adopt a resolution declaring that federal, atate and local governmental expen ditures should be brought more defi nitely under control. That means, in the language of the street, that we will be wise if we SPEND LESS. THE resolution expresses confidence In the fundamental credit of the United States of America, but calls for a return to balanced governmental budgets. That la another way of saying that In the Judgment of the bankers as sembled In San Francisco (there were some 3800 of them) the country ISNT going broke, but will be a LOT better off If it various kinds of governments will quit spending more than they take in, There's a lot of good bard common sense In that statement. (Continued rrom rage One ) have led him to bellpve a const swing I not necessary. That may be true, but it was not the basis upon which the decision waa reached More than confidence was dlscuaned In the Hyde Park parlor. Mr. Roosevelt' technical situation In thla moat Interesting campaign Is unusual. When he really start cam paigning, he has three alternative. He may defend. He may attack. Or he can make more promises. None of these alternatives Is inviting. Defence la usually ttnlnterestlng. alwaya weak. His main purpose of establishing the fundamental theory that he Is for the poor and fighting against the rich has been established, In the opinion of his associate. Similarly, there Is not much for him to attack. The chanc of a personal atttck on Governor Landon Is out- The Demo cratic theory Is that Mr. Landon Is a good fellow, but does not know much. The laauea Landon ha been bringing up In his speeches do not raise any new point which can be torn to pieces by attack. This leaves the prospect of making more prom ises. The mere mention of It la It own answer. Promises of crop Insur ance, balanced budget, etc , have been made or are being prepared, but If there Is anything else, his friends hav overlooked It. Therefore, from the standpoint of political planning, there Is really not much for Mr. Roosevelt to say. The political planners here seem to be more eager nnd anxious than au premelv confident group usually are Latest example : The agriculture building was turned around and faced west throughout Landon s iat wur, Unusual steps were taken to gt copies of his speeches In advance, to offset hU remark in advance. The same enemy and anxiety has been noticeable In connection with other phases of the campaign for some six weHts past. Ordlnnrlly, a caauni oo aerver might construe the situation as indicating fright and discouraging Inside reporta. Opponent hare aaid as much. However, the working theory which the president has handed down to his campaigner belles such an inter pretation. They say Mr. Roosevelt not only wants to win. but Is person ally moat anxious to win handily. He wants a vote of confidence. He would be deeply disappointed If he Just squeezed through. This explains, they say. why he went south, why hectic campaigning for him Is under way In district he Is sure to win. He want to draw out the larcest possible popular vote. Likewise. It suirgeets the reason for hi newly announced plan of going Into New England, which is admtt te1W 1ot to him. He want to cut 1 $tt-Wfejti AtW liej-H N way ftmmt MaheJ latf toe. Tireston?

Ore., Sept. 38-(AP)-l arrived In B.ndon. a city of chaos, early Bunday.

Mother, and fathers were looking for their children and children in turn were looking for their parent.. People were hungry. J could see no food any where. All the business district, with the cuception of the Stephens building, is destroyed. The empty ahell of the bank atlll stands and I could see the vault still Intact. The old Dalen mill and the Moore mill are atlll there but the dock U wiped out. Bandon homes the poor and well-to-do alike have been razod or al most completely destroyed. The base ball park, the dance hall and all the buildings along the bluff are lost. Along with the loss of food auppllee there la little or no water available within the ruined town. Fire department, rushing nero from Marshflcld and Coquille were forced to pump water from the river. It was a futile gesture against flames which already had done their terrific damage. I understand that the blase It still moving as far south a. Langlols and that the highway la completely cut off In that direction. It have learn ed that Langlola has not yet been damaged but that the threat Is In creasing. I could see many refugee, huddling ucross the river. Rumor, were heard of heavy loss It. life. Several persona saw an old gentleman by the name of Oliver go back into a house for some of hla belongings. They said he didn't come out. There Is only one practical way to fight thla great fire: All cities In southwestern Oregon should Immedi ately organize and meet for a atudy of the terrible situation. Bandon needs help. down opposition majorities there Note Another manifestation of anxiety was given recently by a New Dealer who does not know much about politics. After returning from a trip, he confided to his friends that the uninspiring and unspectacular way In which Landon had been plug ging along was more threatening than It appeared to be to New Dealers. He thought It had caused little change yet, but feared the cumulative effect of five more weeks. Similarly, Democratic Insiders have received many complaints that state organizations (California, for one) are sitting on their hands, too confident to do anything. There seems to be a good chance that Mr. Roosevelfa meeting Wed nesday with President Wendnll Wllkle of Commonwealth and Southern will work out some satisfactory solution of the Tennessee Valley competitive situation. The New Deal's rural electrifler. Morris Cooke, and Power Commis sioner Manly are understood to have been working under cover for an agreement, while TVA-er Lllllenthal has been short-circuiting them. Incidentally. Mr. Cooke is the latest White House favorite. Mr. Roosevelt haa been appointing the REA admin latrator on all drought and farm com mittees and escorting him closer and closer up front. He la well on the way to becoming the No. l brain truster of the moment. Cooke's hsd a broader background than most of them have had He is a consulting engineer In management from Philadelphia, and not a pro fessor, although he once Inveatlgated collegiate administrative methods for the Carnegie foundation. He ha served the New Deal aa head of the Mississippi valley committee In PWA and waa on the New York power authority. He got his start as a news reporter and worked in the war in' duatrfe board during the war. The only thing against him is that he Is a Republican, but his friends explain his listing aa such In Who's Who by saying he Is the Norrls-La Follette kind. The highest volcano In the world Is Mt.
