Tho humiliating and torriflo wal loping handed tho Oregon State foot ball equal, laat Saturday, by the Uni versity of Southern California, Is now traced to the "Hollywood Influence." The Pacific Coast conference has a "gentleman's agreement." whereby no football players will practice as a unit before September 10. It Is now al leged the Trojans jumped the gun on the Oregon b, under the guise of ap pearing In a gridiron movie. In Au gust. At least 16 Trojan players In uniform, with tw coaches as "tech nical advisors," cavorted on the movie lot. Oregon State rooters and others suspect they were doing as much practicing as acting. In any event it looks like a good circumstantial case. On the other hand, If a presi dentlal candidate can travel over seven states. In a special train, and not make a political speech, a group of college athletes and coaches ought to be able to keep from practicing end-runs and line-bucks for two weeks. It is now surmised France's dc vii Hint Ion of the franc will incroaso tho "rlnstlclty of the American dol lar."

Mr. duns re-bored. More "Red" Herring IT is difficult to read over the Republican criticisms of Fresl dent Roosevelt's speech, and keep a straight face. If some of his more violent in their reasoning, then anyone later declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, is no better than a Russian Bolshevik. This certainly takes in a lot of territory I Abraham Lincoln opposed slavery, for years, before such action was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow "Wilson, favored a federal income tax, before such action was ruled out by the same court. Were they no better than Russian Bolsheviks t And when following such decisions, they refused to accept the interpretation as final, but favored constitutional amend ments, which would make it legal to do, what they believed, ovcry consideration of .humanity and social justice as well as our national welfare, demanded should be done, were they false to the "letter and spirit of the American form of government!" What a childish and grotesque contention for any news paper, or any sane citizen, of the United States to make ! . jOUT we are told by those G.O.P. newspapers, who admit the president is not a "Communist", that he did not tell the truth when he maintained that in his record "you will find a simple, clear and consistent adherence not only to the letter but to the spirit of the American form of government." This is a serious charge. What evidence do those who make it, supply to sustain it! They rake out that old, bewhiskered accusation that when the president wrote the legislative committee considering the Guffey Coal bill, "not to permit doubts of its constitutionality, however reasonable, to block the suggested legislation" he ad vocated defiance of the Supreme Court, and the overturn of the Constitution. Those who make such a charge are always very careful not to print the full text of the letter, for it shows the intentions and purposes of the president very clearly, and makes such a charge utterly ridiculous. But let that pass. Consider the quotation apart from its context, and subject it to any sort of fair-minded and rational analysis. . ITrilAT IS tho "letter and spirit of the American form of " government!" The letter says tho legislative power lies exclusively with tho congress; that the judicial power lies exclusively with the Supreme Court. In other words the con gress has no power or authority to declare whether legislation !b or is not unconstitutional, nor has any member in it, nor has the president. This is the Supremo Court's function, its exclusive function, and its only What then should tho congress do, when an important mat ter of legislation is up for consideration! Spend its time argu ing as to whether it is or isn't constitutional! Do what the constitution says it should NOT do, and try to pass on its legality! Or should it decide ONLY whother that legislation is desirable for the country, or the reverse; if it is, pass it; if it isn't defeat it; but IN NO CASE, waste time and money, in a futile effort to usurp the authority and functions of the U. S. Supreme Court, spend day after day, debating a question winch it can never decide and which the law of the land specifically declares it must NOT decide "PHIS is all the president meant, and it is all he said, and any fair-minded person who will read tho text of the president's letter will freely grant the truth of this statement. Yet the anti-Roosevelt press shrieks about communism on one hand, and overturning the Constitution on the other 1 Not only untrue, but as we have pointed out, TIMK AFTER TIME, the exact reverse of the truth. IN telling the congress to NOT exceed its constitutional author ity, in tolling it to leave all constitutional questions to the Supreme Court, and abide by those decisions as he has done; depending for needed reform, not on defiance of the constitu tion, but its amendment as the organio law provides, President Roosevelt takes his stand solidly with those who would LTIIOLD the letter and spirit of the American government; and those who condemn his stand, not he, are those who are disregarding the strict division of powers upon which this country was based. Likewise in taking the stand, that the way to combat and destroy communism, is to so correct the abuses and inequalities of the democratic system, that tho seeds of communism can nover gain a foothold, it is he, not his enemies, who is LEAD INQ the onslaught against those foroes of violence and dostruo tion that would overthrow American institutions, and destroy our democratic form of government.

Arthur Terry In Medtord Mnll Tribune. The perennially pessimistic Mr. Perry, In his appointed column or the Medford newspaper, define the charivari as " social lynching." and addresses an open letter lo candidates lor mayor, demanding of these gen tlemen that they declare themselves upon the Issue he haa rnlsed, Of all bucolic customs of the Americans, the Institution of the charivari perhaps la quaintest, ns certainly It la the rudest and inoat Irritating. In Mr. Terry'. Ireful and able essay on the charivari, however, there la not observed any mention of resort to shotguna. There ore regions of America where the yokelry concede the shotgun to be the conventional retort of the bridegroom. If he chooses to Invoke it. Tills Is seldom done, but there have been Instances that enlisted the subsequent concern of the county coroner. Vsually, the in cepted practice Is to fire above the heads of the revelers, without stand ing treat, and watch them take to their heels. The first time lllll slocum, which la not the true mme of our hero, was married, the gayer spirits ot his town submitted Mill anfl his bride to a charivari. In token of Hut's popu newspaper critics, are correct who favors legislation, which is function. larity, BlU was good-humored about It, that time, and he paid tribute of s when he was socially lynched, as Mr, Perry put It so neatly. But the second time Bill Slocum was married he objocted to the charivari, and made threats, and banged down the window, and went Into a tantrum that frightened his little mate halt out of her wits. If it ever happened again, he vowed, he knew what be would do. It happened again the third time Bill tried the marital state, but Bill was ready for them. He had loaded his grandfather's fowling piece and when the charivari was well started, he let go with the right bar rel over Uielr heads, and as they turned to depart he cut loose with Ihe second, which contained a dou ble handful of beana. The town went modern right afterward, and never could see anything funny about orange blossoms. Mr. Perry of the Mall Tribune. In his unamlable way, which but Illy mnceals a gentle character. Is trying to do Medford a real service by pledg iLg the candidates for mayor to abate the charivari. Ha says it gives strangers the Impression that Med ford is a hick town, for one thing, even aside from it essential tin. couthnesa. That la probably his most effective argument. What's so funny about getting married, anyhow? Oregonlan. FOR PERSONAL LOANS Of A1J. KINDS. W. B. Thomas, 44 8. central. Phone 842 TveH ham away your reiuse. city Sanitary Service.

The modern method, however. Involves much less risk for tho patient. This greater safety of the modern method makes It Imperative that the surgeon who attempts to treat prostatic ob struction at all should refrain from operating on such patients It he can not master tho technic or trans-ure thral resection. There are far too many brass surgeons In Yankeeland bungling this work. The prostatic resection (ns tho modern method Is called) Is a safer procedure for tho patient than pros tatectomy (as the . oia-iasnioni.-u method Is called) Is evident In these figures: The total operative mortality since 1020 for 33 patients over 80 years of age treated by perineal or suprapubic prostatectomy at Brady Foundation of the New York Hospital was 33 ner cent, while N. a.

Recalling his memorable "Abroa-dat Home" series In Collier's some 20 years ago. But this time the author Is merely pleasure bent casting a prac ticed eye on what la going on In the changing na tion. He thinks one of the most en chanting stretches of America Is from San Francisco north to the Canadian border. Considerably traveled but not as it should be. He believes that what the region north of San Fran cisco needs is more hotels and tour ist camps, reasonably tariffed. An off-key note In his. observations Is: Old American virtues of self re liance, enterprise and independence are being widely undermined by po litical handouts. He believes one thing that has got us into trouble Is widespread installment buying.
