Martin THE heated clash between Congressman Walter Pierce and Governor Martin, is what the sporting scribes would terra a "natural." They only had to meet, to render the ensuinii conflict inevitable, and irrepressible, as was the Civil War, in 1859. For here are two vigorous men, in public life; advanced in years, but young in spirit; both honest, courageous,, true to themselves; but as far apart in fundamental political philosophy, and temperament, as the north and south poles. j m ... . , FORMER Governor Pierce, "Weeping Walter", the sentimen sheplierd of his white-faced calves, is essentially an emo tionalist, as his once popular local title implies. He doesn't think things out, he feels them, he feels them with all the spiritual ardor of the professional revivalist. To him the politi cal world is nothing more than an old Morality Play, in which he invariably plays the role of the White Knight. Politics is the age-long contest between the forces of dark ness and light. Everything on one side is wicked and repre hensible, everything on the other is virtuous and undcfiled and Waller needless to add, is one of the specially anointed leadeis, on the side of purity and grace. TPHIS is what our modern intelligensia would term Walter's credo his ideology. And he has no other. Add to this considerable personal vanity, deep seated flair for drama, in which lie must take a leading role, and you have the perfect opponent for Governor Martin, in particular, in any clash which involves Oregon's favorite brand of political dynamite, the issue of light and power. CONGRESSMAN PIERCE'S justification for his attack on Governor Martin, in that Bonneville Dam inquiry, in which he charged', the governor represented the iniquitous power trust, while he represented, by implication, the poor farmers and the neglected workers of this great commonwealth, shows this clearly. It was, in brief, this and nothing else: "I only heard you talk about Industry. I didn't hesr you ssy anything about the farmers, etc., etc., etc." Exactly.! Weeping Walter could no more appear in any public ca pacity without talking about his devotion to the farmers and workers, the common people if you please, and his great devotion to them, than he could sally forth for votes, in eastern Oregon, without a hearty handshake aud his ten gallon bat. That is his waving plume, his sword and buckler, his sacred covenant. And ANY man in public life who DOES, is suspect. And when that same man has the temerity to take issue with Walter, that suspicion becomes at once a conviction, Sir Walter is again entering the lists against tho forces of iniquity and corruption, i.e., he is fighting the Power Trust, the battle is on I A GAINST a less doughty and rugged antagonist, Weeping Walter might have gotten away with it, and then and there delivered his favorite speech against the detested InsuM plimderbund and all its works. But Governor Martin knows that by heart, and without any parleys cut liiin short. Said the governor: "I represent the farmers and all th people of Oregon. I am not going to be put In the position of a lackey of tha Chamber of Commerce. I resent thst. It Isn't true. You read the record and don't you go and misrepresent met" "I'll not" shouted Pierce, "I'll talk to the committee later." And Walter will. Representative Honeyman, tried to have Walter, give his views then and there, in what she termed a preliminary statement. Not for a minute. "I will want an hour' cried Oregon's elder statesman. And he will It's an hour's speech 1 THIIE governor has no hour's speech. lie can make one, but he doesn't like to hear himself talk. He is about the age of his opponent, and nominally they belong to the same party, but he is in principle and temperament Weeping Walter's com plete antithesis. Governor Martin has feelings real aud deep ones, he is as devoted to the welfare and well being of the people of this state, as the eastern Oregon congressman ever thought of being, but he is not a demagogue and he is not a sentimentalist. IN a matter like this, or any other concerning the welfare of this state. Governor Martin is a REALIST. He doesu't re gard Bonneville dam as a political problem, but a business problem. He sees no point in dramatizing it, making table thumping speeches about it, or resolving it into a contest be tween the forces of darkness and the forces of light. That strikes him as so much buncombe. Ho has as keen an interest in cheap power for the people of this state, as anyone, but he believes that to secure that cheap power, and render it permanent, Bonneville must first be made an industrial success. The rates must be smdi and the not only reduce light and power rates for the people, but will attract new industries to Oregon, and plsee the entire project upon a sound, enduring and business-like basis. lie may be right in the details of his program, or he may be wrung. But in taking such a stand, there is CEKTAINIA NO justification for accusing him of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, Big Business, or any interest oilier than the public interest. Ihe welfare of the people all the people of this slate. ONUliKSSMAN IMKIiGK would never have made thai charge if he had thought about it. But as before stated Walter doesn't think, lie feds, and when he is opposed on an issue of this sort, by anyone who doesn't do as Walter docs, refuses to work himself into a froth about the iniiiiitics of the power trust, whenever the subject is mentioned, be feels strongly. And whim iinvone (roads on the (.cuoral's coat tail and implies that ho is tho hiroling of this intoro.st or some other. believe you vtv-the tiencral feels stronyl.v. So aa above stated this eonfliet was a "untural."

The Incubation period, In any In fectlouA disease, xuch as scarlet fever or whooping cough, la the interval between the moment of Infection or inoculation and the appearance of the first feign or symptom of the Illness. In the case of scar let fever the In cubation period la short, usually from 36 hours to three or four days; In the case of whoopiAg cough It Is long er, from seven to ten days. Out -I n g Incubation the Individual re mains ln his ordinary health and there la nothing to show and no test by which we can ascertain ln the course of tho Incubation period that the Individual Is about to de velop the disease. The germs of the disease, whatever It may be, are b& yet too few In number to stimulate a reaction In the Individual's blood or tissues; only when the Invading disease germs or virus toxins become strongly established, well organized, does the body react, and the natural reactions of the body against the Invading disease organisms explain the lesions or signs of the dlse-.se. In the case of syphilis the primary Incubation period, from tho moment of Inoculation to the appearance of the hard sore or chancre at the point of Inoculation, varies from two to five weeks. Then follows a second- : ary Incubation period, from the time I the Chancre appears to the appear- i ance of the general symptoms, which commonly resemble the onset of "grip," along with a skin rash lf any) which usually does not show about the face, and mucous patcli, In the mouth; the secondary Incuba tion period Ls from throe lo six weeks. Both Incubation periods Indicate that to a degree syphilis Is by way of becoming a self -limited disea.-u that Invasion of the tissues by the germs of syphilis Induces natural reactions that tend to cure the dis ease. Certainly the syphilis we know today is less virulent than was the syphilis of times past. Judging by the effects we see today and reid about ln historical medical works Or perhaps the disease ls as viru lent as ever, but modern treatment plus bet ter general hygiene today combine to render It less destructive. If the 'patient is wise enough to , go to a good doctor when the pri mary core or chancre first appears, thero Is a good pros poet of an Im mediate diagnosis, by the finding of the germs In a drop of serum from the sore, by examination with the dark field microscope. At this stage the disease ls still localised ln tho primary sore, not yet spread through 40,Q,Mclnfv7e NEW YottK, April 24.

Adequate treat ment at this stage moreover pre vents possible transmission of the disease to other persons. Positive diagnosis of syphilis by the darkfleld microscopic test can be made and treatment started ten days to two weeks before a Wasserman or otr.er blood test will show "positive." Aud by the time the Wasserman or other blood test becomes "positive" or gives certainty to the diagnosis, the chance of cure has been diminished. There fore It ls vitally Important that any one who even suspects he may have contracted syphilis report to a com petent physician for the darkfleld microscopic test before applying any remedy to the sore. fJlE.STIONS A.XD ANSWKRS Scarlet Fever. The doctor says scarlet fever Is conveyed only by the breath of the living person who has It. If this ls so, all our burning of bedding and fumigating of the sickroom la wrong. (P. E. B.) Answer Not by the breath, that is, not via or ln the air, but the germ of scarlet fever is spread ln the secre tions from nose and throat and ln the spray given off when the patient coughs, sneezes or talks. Isolation of the patient ls the Important factor In preventing the spread of scarlet fever. Of course burning things, and creating smokes and stinks ls Just an old folk custom. Surely no health authority today dares to per pe trite any such hocus-pocus as burning good bedding or fumigating roomv In residences. Arc You Stale?

She hic coughs: "Ah, my noble dream prince!" That makes a fellow feel like s dash of lavender right off. No tea for thla patootie. You could chin yourself on her breath. She wants to Know if I'm "llt-ry." And she's be Sinning to pick things off my coat lapel and get confidential. The coy sort. They cry. too. It won't be long now until she's tn tears over the pa-w-ing of her granduncle In the war of the rebellion, or that I've hurt her fcetlngs. I can lean against a wall, keep my mouth absolutely shut and hurt more feeling than any profes sional Insulter that ever lived. It s s gift. I never miss. I knew It. She's tuning up. I hope her mascara doesn't run. She says If I don't want to talk to her why not go on about my business. What do I think she la a pick-up? And sniffs that's the trouble with a girl coming to a party unescorted, some fresh squirt Is always trying to get new with her. All of a sudden she decides to become haughty. Why should she be annoyed by audi an Insignificant nobody? She suggests I'm probably one of the hired butlers anyway. And with a hendtoas makes an Ethel Bsrrymore exit. All alone agsin. I wish they'd Just let me go on wUh my leaning until It Is time to go.. It takes a lean guy for a long Wan. Perhaps I'd have a better time Lf I went giddy and took up a little flirting. At my age flirtation is a feat in gallantry. The last time I tried it. I smiled at a neat Myrna Loy-looklng number ln the foyer of Music Hall and I heard the object of my coyness inquire of her girl friend: "What's that fool grinning about?" When X grow coquettish. It's comedy. One of these days I'm going to get all charmed up at one of these' Charm Schools. Then I'll show 'era. I think I'll try out a little coquet ting on this old Bloomer Girls num ber sitting alone on a divan, dawdling her tea cup. I'll ask her If I didn't meet her at Palm Beach this winter. You might have known It she's Ital ian. And "no splk Englls'." So all I can do ls sit here and smile It out. I've been simpering so long now It will tak a dollar's worth of massage to get the corners of my mouth down again. Mrs. Italia la Jabbering something In her mother tongue and I'm nod ding m7 head snd beaming as though that's a good one, all right, all right. It wilt probably turn out she la tell ing me she has Just been widowed with all the sorrowful details. If she begins crying, too, I'm going to take to the life boats. Isn't there ony life and laughter ln the world? The lady from Italy looks reproach ful and. has grown silent. How any body can lamp my sickly smile and grow sulky is beyond me. She's going Miffed. Nods curtly. Now that the crowd ls thinning out I might Inch over to the refectory table to filch a few knlcknacks. ; It looks as though it had been hit by a hurricane. All that ls left of a big Juicy ham is the bone and there aren't enough baked beans left for a decent snack. Gnaw ing at the crusts ls my dish anyway. Any little scraps lelt over are good enough for me. Too good as a matter of fact. Here comes that old pelican with a lorgnette everybody has been avoid ing. She will now try to annex America's Wall Flower No. 1, of course. But I've had enough even though I have to sneak out of here and leave that new $10 hat. And 1 hope I don't come across that high hand-shaking hostess either. I'm in no mood to run up a step ladder and tell her good-bye. I busted my sus penders where they cross, reaching when I came in.

In sured, registered, highly prized, so trusting, and affectionate. King, the family pet, rejoiced at the compan ionship, patiently allowed the pup to chew his ears, pull his tall and otherwise behave as only a lively pup will. What romps and races over the large fields, chasing squirrel and rab bit: what a happy life after the weeks spent tn a city apartment. Then the tragedy, bith dogs al ways so kindly treated, trusting and confiding, unused to treachery met the poisoner, the proffered food was gratefully accepted, eagerly eaten, the beautiful eyes expressing thanks and then the cruel agony, days ln hospital. King, the older and strong er still tues in pain and loneliness, but the beautiful loving and trusting pup has gone tho way the fiend In tended a sad ending to his visit to the Rogue river valley, while the owner in Seattle mourns the loss of a true and loyal companion. Sentimental perhaps, better be ft little sentimental than a poisoner of beautiful animals, comforters and protectors of the many sad and lone ly. A friend of the dogs. (NAME ON FTLE) MarlM.ncla Set.
