SOCIAL RAMnUNCTIOUSNERS (Delmar (Ore.) News) Much rougher In nature was a Hallowe'en party held at the Orange hall last Friday night. The young people plnyed games of the parlor variety with Ameri can football well mixed in, threw apples at each other, ate, danced, and had a high old time. However, the party was capably chaperoned, decency predomi nated, and everyone was sober. The eateemed Salem Statesman opines, "Oregon is fast developing a "Vote No" psychology," basing lt conclusion upon the fate of all meas ures on the la to bnllot.

In sharp contrast with most of the popular comedians today Chio Sale was not merely a mouth-piece for a group of gag writers. He was from the outset an original and creative artist. His portrayal of old rural types, the G. A. R. veteran, the village postmaster, the Yankee cracker-box philosopher, the member of the town band, were living figures of flesh and blood, abso lutely authentic, and invariably touched by the hand of re straint and genius. He never played AT the part, be was always IN it. He never yielded to the popular demand tor exaggeration and burlesque, never was false to the atern demands of the true character actor, he went down to the grass root for his material, and built up his types with the of the genuiue artist, Chic Sale gained a national ship of that best seller "The Specialist." This was an amusing and original skit which invaded a realm of household sanitation, which had never before been treatment. Its novelty and quaint seriousness, directed toward a late Victorian "tabu", aroused and a new word was added to the But we preferred Chio in his and as the former will always affection. His passing in the prime of life, we regard, as a greut loss to the American stage and screen. "Journeys End" WE were interested in Paul Mallon's comment that Governor Landon was not crushed by his overwhelming defoat. Mallon wrote that those closest during the campaign, got the distinct impression that while he felt honored by the nomination, and intended to do his best for the party, he had personally no This confirms the view gained by the present writer, atter attending the notification ceremonies at Topeka last summer. There was nothing of the "happy warrior" about the chief executive of Kansas. He spoke neither with spirit nor convic tion.' The outstanding impression received, had nothing to do with the governor's shortcomings as an orator, or a radio per former, but solely with the true character of the man. his essen tial nature and his temperament, as revealed in his manner and bearing throughout. One felt he was merely playing the part, and a rather unpleasant one, not really living it and certainly not enjoying it. Circumstances had thrust didn't like it. Could he have followed his real inclinations one felt he would have chucked the on the job as chief executive enjoyed his home, family, and gono duck hunting. To clinch the matter, with a on the subject we print one of masterpieces" from his paper the Kniporia Gsiette. This we beliove gives the TRUK picture of Governor Landon of Kan sas, a man who was cast in s role for which he was not fitted but who did his best, and returning to his home, finds every feeling overshadowed hy his relief, that it's all over at last I Yeaterday In mid-morning In Tbpoka, along Tenth ttreet east of the executive mention walked a men and a woman slowly under the golden foliage of the autumn elme. They were holding handa, and talking, talking earnestly. It was a homecoming for him. Since last spring, their houeehold had been In oonfualon; company coming every day, sometime, one crowd for lunch, sometimes another crowd for dinner. Turmoil and anxiety were ever preaent. , In the last three months the man has been away. He has travelled thousands upon thousands of miles. He has seen hundreds of thousands of people. He has been a father and a husband at odd times, snatching what brief momenta he could, sketchlly maintaining a relation that waa deep and dear and sweet to him, his home and all the Joy and comfort that the word embodies. So Sunday morning, to be alone, they walked together. The crowd that met him at the station had departed. The tumult and the ahoutlng waa over, the great adventure finished. He was home again. And they held hands aa they strolled down the street In the morning sunlight talking softly under the glory of the Kansas autumn foliage. 'Journey's end with lovers meetlngl" Lake Creek LAKE CREEK.

In other words, the concept of "chronic sppendlcltls" is unaubfl tan Mated In practice. Even In cases of acute type sent to this same distinguished surgeon for hurry up operation he finds in over half of them that the trouble Is neuralgic, ana he does not operate. These ore annoying facts for the Brass Surgeons of America. But in my opinion there are far too many operations being done and the Brass Surgeons have oversold themselves to the gullible public, and It la time that the truth be told. It Is a fairly common experience, during or shortly after an attack of ton sill tli, say, for the patient to suf fer pain in ths lower right quadrant of belly, tenderness, rapid pulse, per haps some alight fever and even vom '.OTTclntyre NEW YORK, NOV. 14.

Marlon Brady, M.D. iting. These are characteristic signs or symptoms of acute appendicitis. Yet the patient may not have appen dicitis at all, for all of the symptoms may be due to the tonsllitls and in tercostal neuralgia. The tonstlltts may even be responsible for the leucocy tosis or Increased white blood cell count. To do a hurry up operation in such a case and find nothing wrong with the appendix is as grave a mistake aa It Is to operate for ap pendicitis and discover that the pa tient has nothing wrong with the appendix but Is coming down with pneumonia instead. After all, It takes more skill and more courage NOT to operate in some cases than it does to operate. The best surgeon Is the one who does the least surgery.

JOHN B. ORIKP1N, Xtedford, Ore., Nov. 8. It's Time to Repent Tt the Editor: You are well pleaded with the restilt of the recent election, as I would also be hstl It went my way Instead of yours. I hone, however, thst your judgment is better than mine as to the significance of the result. 'A new ra?" Undoubtedly. But of what sort. As a people we have been very proud and havr been thinking, and moct of ue still think, that the calamities which have befallen other nation's cannot befall n?. We are a "choseu people'' even tho we are not of the stock of Israel. Truly God has blessed us In the past, and made us great; or did we make ourselves great without his help, or in spite of him. Isn't it true thst a large ma polity of us now take the latter view as to the source of our greatness? If that Is the correct view then the election Is full of promises; but If the former view is correct, it leaves room for doubt, does It not? If national greatness depends on the favor of Ood, what grounds have we now for thinking that we have, or deserve his favor. If our preachers. In large numbers, are-telling us that his Book la a lie, and that Jesus Christ Is a fraud. We have largely accepted that teaching. Does that in vite his favor? If the Ood who wrote the fourth chapter of Amos, verses 6-13, shortly before he sent his chosen people into captivity for their sins Is the same Ood who has been sending floods, storms, drought, homicides, and general lawlessness upon us for some years past, then the election may point towards & similar fate for us, and President Roosevelt may be our Mussolini, our Hitler, our Stalin. Certainly no one would claim that the election of Landon would Indicate a movement towards a dictatorship, to which we have had so near an ap proach, If not the real thing, for the last four years. If there Is a Just Ood his wrath Is due us, unless we repent of our sins; and can you indicate any signs of serious repentance? I have been try ing to find some, but with no very great success.

(Continued from Page One ) to individual replacements from time to time, made after retirements caused by mind and body. But thse will make no more dif ference In establishing the policy complexion or direction of Mr. Roose velt than a reorganization of White House doormen. They will be im portant only to the society leaders of Washington, who seem to be more seriously concerned than anyone else, Just at the moment. Miss Perkins has leased her house for another year . . Mrs. Wood ring is buying a new Aubusson rug to match her parlor furniture . , . Mr. Morgenthau does not want to be am bassador to anywhere . . . Mr. Roper would like to retire, but will remain ir the president wants him to stay. If you missed your guess on the election, you need not feel forlorn. The president guessed he would get 360, and Mr. Hurja. the nonpareil, handed Chairman Parley a last min ute rock-bottom estimate of 370. Not only these national leaders underestimated their own majorities, but even the county and ward lead ers did not fully appreciate their strength. For instance, an old line Democrat drove home In Virginia to vote for Mr. Roosevelt on election day. He saw the three democratic county leaders sitting on the court house steps, and asked how things were going. "Not very good," replied the spokes man. "A lot of people have Just come In here to vote that we have not seen since 1028. when they came In to vote ago Inst Al 8mlth. We need every vote we can get." Next day. when the votes were counted, the result was almost unani mous for Roosevelt. Every one of the suspected unknown voters had voted for Roosevelt Instead of against him. Chairman Parley never gete any credit. On the third successive bien nial occasion, his election prediction was almost exactly perfect, and far better than that of the president. No national chairman has ever had such a record. Including Mark Hanna. who had better reasons to know how elec tlons were going than some. The re sults would also indicate no one ever had a better organization. Yet no authority has yet called Parley the greatest national chairman in history. Perhaps time will tell It. There la a rumor that a Republican was elected state senator In a town In the coal regions of Pennsylvania, but no explanation of the mistake haa reached democratic headquarters here. They say it must have been an oversight. The only perfect campaign la said to have been that conducted by Con gressman Ttnlthsm. the Boston Re publtrsn. He w-ent to Europe after the roiwentlnns and remslried there. Arriving In New Tor It on the Queen Mary, the night before election, he went home only to vote, snd won easily.

Comment of the Day s News By FRANK JENSENS. r: a despatch telling of the serious plight of the communist defenders of Madrid, this sentence occurs: "Party lesders exhorted the defend ing militia to fight 'without quaiter. without truce'." A LITTLE farther on, we read that " a lot of these exhorting party leaders ran out oA the fighting and established political headquarters in the Benlcarlo palace at Valencia, well out of the combat zone. Well, that's war for you. The poli ticians do the exhorting and the poor devils of commoners do the flg-htlng and the dying. pRANCE takes a leaf from Russia's book and creates an ''Infantry of the air," which is a combination of Infantrymen and airplanes, the planes dropping the soldi en in para chutes behind the enemy lines so that they may attack him from the rear. What will happen to these relative ly few Infantrymen, of course, is a matter for conjecture, but It seems probable that the enemy will turn upon them and "liquidate" them In hort order. The thought la that the liquidating process will distract the enemy's at tention, thus enabling the main body of attackers to break through his lines. IN war, what happens to the Indi- vfdual is of no consequence, so If these soldiers dropped out of the sky to their doom create a diversion that will enable their side to win they will have served their purpose. War is like that. I I ERE is a significant paragraph In the news: "As President Roosevelt tackled the unbalanced budget problem today It became apparent that heavy pressure for and against an expanded aid and an expensive new deal is shaping up." In other words, the spenders are girding up their loins and getting ready for business and those who realize that continued, spending in excess of Income means bankruptcy are preparing for a last ditch fight. It will be Interesting to see which crowd the president sides with for whatever group he backs must win. PROSPECT, Nov. 9. (Spl.) At 8 o'clock October 28 the Prospect P.-T. A. met In the gymnasium.
