Knamlner) "It la men like this that edi torial writer like to write about after they are dead. Then they recall all tha good things about the man. recite them In care fully chosen verbage. perhaps even run his picture and tell how many attended hla funeral." This Is rated aa an "otf-year" In Oregon politics. It so aeema, with mushroom candldaclea abounding and growing rank around every Town. aend club meeting house. Already aspirants, unbothered by a single qualification for the office they de alre, hare started "whirlwind cam paigns," In a whirlwind of notions. For the moat part they are eelf whlrlera who never get through whirl ing. Fisticuff have broken out twtoe In the put week between upstate labor union leaders, resulting in thumped and bumped heads and faoea. Accounts of the battles read like the jurisdictional territorial Ft trite of the Wrentlrra' Union were being trampled. "A cork hat has Just found great fame with New York milliners.

Our own hunch is, it's combination of both. Whatever the true explanation, the resignation of Justice Van Devanter, one of the irreconeilible old dealers on the court, delivers the "coup-de-grace", aa far as the president's original court proposal is concerned. "Packing the court", by the addition of six new members, is now as dead as King Tut. 'I'HE timing, incidentally, was perfect. Coming as it did. immediately after the adverse report of the senate judiciary committee, leaves the administration out on a limb, with only one avenue of dignified escape. That is to get off the limb. To, as quickly and gracefully as possible beat a retreat. Or in plain English, withdraw the Supreme Court proposal, because the main objectives have been attained without it, and FORGET it. "VES, such action will Involve what is known as a "loss of face.

Whatever the final decision, the results will be hard to take. To admit an error, to abandon an important plan, to reverse a definite policy is difficult for the best of us; it is far more difficult for the leader But this column hopes President Roosevelt will be BIG enough, and WISE enough to do To adopt any other course, extremely serious, if not disastrous, for his party and for himself. POR the Supreme Court play, ag a play, is played out. There is no more life in it. Nothing is left but the amouldfirinK frame work. With the present court'g reversal on the due process and commerce clauses, tne elimination or the presidents "no man's land", and now with his of his own school of thought, excessive power granted to ONE member vote, the Supreme Court is as liberal and enlightened, as the most exacting Pro gressive could wish. 'To persist now in the original effort, to destroy the political independence of the federal judiciary, and in effect, overturn the character of our tri-partite government, can lead only to ultimate defeat, and definitely alienate, that non-partisan liberal support, which has been, and is today, the president's greatest strength. A Lb true friends of the president, all those who like this newspaper wish him well, and believe thoroughly in his fundamental purposes, will during the next few days fervently hope, that he will squarely meet the present test; face the facts as they exist; drop the Supreme the slate for the solution of national problems. NEW YORK. May 10. The chang ing world I For years what New York calls "the carriage trade" drew up to the Metropolitan opera to debouch and take places In the famous Diamond Horae Shoe circle boi ea or in other choice chairs. But today that is changed. Fubl onsble still attend opera and first nights, of course, but the creme ds la creme now make the broadcasts their various rendezvous. Especially those of Major Bowes and Rudy Vellee, where the flrat ten rows suggest pages from the Social Reg I iter and Who's Who. The hours of the broadcast are more amenable as a rule for dinner parties, and then their brevity lends to getting away for a night club or other festivities.

Co-lncldentally, Louis Sobol re cently told of a Jinx that skittered through the theaters of the town one Saturday night. All the hoodooa took their toll back stage. In one theater a player muffed his lines and botched the action; In another a atsr went up In his part and had to walk over to the prompter for a new start; In still another a delayed entrance apolled the evening. And so It went In exactly 13 theaters, and In the 13th mlrabile dlctul death played a part. A leading lady expired between acta. Historians say this collective disruption has hap pened on more than one occasion. I know of no hobby that seems so satisfying to It possessor as stamp collecting. Several philatelists among my friends George Young of Loa Angeles, for example convince me of this, in one Instance an actress wire tells me that her husband was quite a gadabout for two years after their marrlr. ge. 5he waa Interested in stamp and eventually Interested him. and now most of their evenlnga are spent at home with magnifying glass. studying and arranging their collec tions.

I am told that the record high price for a stamp Is 38.000 which Arthur Hind paid for the one-penny British Outana. It la the only copy known and to own It Is the heart's dealre of every collector. In my time I succumbed to two hobble each utterly ridiculous. The first was collecting cane and walk ing sticks went out Ilk the pro verbial light. The next waa ehavtng brushes.

Snatching a meal in a few minutes where at least twenty minutes Is necessary for proper eating. Is a habit that makes many Individuals prema turely old. Alas, this bad habit Is acquired at home In many Instances, because In some homes parents fall to establish the arbitrary rule that every one shall remain at table at least twenty minute whether he needs that much time to eat or not This rules Is an excellent one In the health training of children. . Every member of the family must not only remain at table twenty minutes, but of course must be clean and properly dressed and use good manners while eating. Check over these factors In your own case, reader. It will do you no harm to survey your eating habits. Hasty eating is first. Second la Insuf ficient mastication of solid foods which require mastication (meat fowl, fish requires less mastication, of course, than vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts.) Too often mastication Is deficient because one or more teeth are decayed and neglected, or one or more teeth are missing and not re placed with functionally useful arti ficial teeth from motives of Ignor ance of hygiene or poverty or both. Third factor of degeneration ta the modern custom of using refined food most of the calories In the daily, meals food which Is ready to wolf and neither requires nor deserves mastication; food which has been robbed of most of Its natural min erals and vitamins.
