It Is the general opinion a Bales Tux la the proper source of rev enue to provide funds Tor Old Age Pensions, but It is Just as generally agreed, tho Oregon hatred of a Hales Tax la so deep and bitter, even the beneflclnrln, would Tote against It. A neat way to raise age pension funds, with certainty, would be to provide and place a plnball ma chine, on the front-porch of each couple over 06 years of age, open to the public. Thus, the public yen for gambling would be appeased, the Old Folks would be assured of a steady strenm of nickels, and a general liunky-dorlneas created. TUP.

Governor London's Comeback THE nation-wide broadcast by Governor Landon of Kansas, last night, demonstrated once more, why the Republican party was beaten in the last election, and barring another busi ness depression, will if Landon leadership prevails, be beaten in the next one. Under Landon leadership and interpretation, the Republican party ig a negative party, and the Democratic party, under Roosevelt, a positive one. When the American people are called upon to choose between a positive and negative party, they will under normal conditions, inevitably choose the former, for that is in accordance with the American character and tradition. fJOR what did Governor Landon's speech last night add up tot To thisi acceptance of all the aims of the Roosevelt admin istration, but opposition and criticism of all its methods. With no fundamental principle of the party in power did Mr. Landon take isue. Analyze his speech and you will find, that the Republican party wants to accomplish the same things, the Roosevelt administration has, or is attempting, to accom plish. In fact the latter part of the Republican leader's address, wag a strong and eloquent plea for the success of the New Deal. A FAIRER distribution of wealth, opposition to an unhealthy concentration of economic power in the hands of a few individuals? Mr. Landon is for that. Shorter hours and higher wages, "not because some kind hearted employer is willing to grant them, but as a matter of right?" Mr. Landon favors that too. Agricultural reform, a decent standard of living and secur ity for tho farmer? That is the Republican party's aim, as well. Social security, unemployment insurance, old age pension, stock exchange reforms, they are all endorsed by Mr. Landon. - In short every aim of the Roosevelt administration, ig also the aim of the Republican party as Governor Landon interprets it, the only issue is on the methods adopted to achieve them. . SO where does the average oter find himself? He finds him self in a position where he has to choose between the party, that originated the Now Deal, and is working to enforce its principles, and the party that didn't originate it, the party that was chiefly responsible for the abuses it is designed to correct. but now endorses it, and asks that it be given the power and responsibility of its administration. That's the whole thing in a nutshell. We repeat that faced by such a choice, a majority of the voters favoring the aims of the New Deal, will naturally prefer trusting the party that gave it birth, to the party that want to adopt it, but wishes to carry it out in some other way. It is, as we see it, a natural decision, and from the standpoint of practical politics, an inevitable one. WE don't maintain, Mr. Landon did not make out a good case, against the Roosevelt administration. He did. We have opposed many of the methods adopted by President Roose velt, and will no doubt oppose many others. We grant he is inclined to be too impulsive, and although we believe a highly centralized government essential, we don't deny the President, particularly in the Supreme Court matter, reached out too far, for personal power. BUT, after all such matters from the standpoint of national politics, are NOT DETERMINING factors. As he stated at the outset of his administration, President Roosevelt's program, was one, and continues to be one of triul and error. lie ex pected to make mistakes, and has made them, but as such mistakes are revealed, he can be depended upon to correct them In other words, not methods but principles make issues, in this country, and the party that accepts the principles of the opposition, as the Republican party under Mr. Landon does, and confines itself to condemning the methods, finds itself as a party without an issue. merely a negative rarty, a critical rathor than a constructive party, as we stated at the outset. So what? Well just more of the same, politically speaking, unless something like war or another major enconomie disaster inter venes. For as long as a majority of the American people favor the principles of the New Deal, as they do, they will prefer the original and genuine brand- under Roosevelt direction, to any substitutes, "as good or better" under G. 0. T. control. . T11K1JE is another reason, in addition to those enumerated. Wo have no doubt of Governor Landon's absolute sincerity He is a Progressive Republican of the finest type. He does honestly believe in the fundamental purposes of the first Roosevelt administration, and if he wcro elected President, would do his level best to carry them out. But the fact remains, that he does not now, (and never has) represented the MAJORITY of his party, or tho forces that are actually in control. He is a minority leader, and. everyone familiar with the forces that led to his nomination at Cleveland, will prant it. Those who don't KNOW this, which goes for the rank and file, sense it. And because they sense it, is only an added reason why the true believer in Now Deal principles, would never trust that procram to the tender mercies of a party, still dominated, by the Old Guard. They are too fearful it would be the old story of Little Red Riding Hood nil over a pain. SO that's that. What is really going on in this country is a political revolution. We are now in a transition stage, but. when it's all over there will be two parties in this country, regardless of their names, a GKNt'INK Liberal party and a genuine Conservative one. Those who honestly believe in what Roosevelt stands for will be in the former, those who just as honestly don't so believe though they may for expediency's sake give it lip service will be in the latter. Will that, mean practically permanent control of the Liberal party? Not us we see it. As long as the capitalistic system endures, this will remain essentially a business man's country, and busi ness is fundamentally conservative. In the future as in the past there would be "liberal periods," as there is now but the spirit of, profits and safety FIRST, will in the long run prevail. Personal Health Service By William Brady, M.

COSMETIC HYGIENE What you put on your skin has a good deal less to do with your com plexion thsn what you put In it. What you put In it depends not only upon what you eat and drink; or receive as medi cine, but also upon what you breathe, what sort of clothing you woar, how well ventilated your abode is, how much exer else you get dally, how much sunshine or sky- hln you give tout nlde the year around. The coarsest, roughest skins, the poorest complexions, are generally skyshine. The akin of the patient those that get the leaat sunshine or under the modern sunbath treatment, say for tuberculosis of Joint, bone, lymph node, as It gradually aaqulres tan at the same time becomes heau tlfuly soft and fine In texture and free from the blemishes that com monly appear on the skin that is seldom exposed to sunshine. Quaint obsessions against imaginary harm done by exposure to sunlight keep too many misguided folk from en Joying the advantage of tho cheapest and best of all cosmetics. Some young persons have an old skin, thanks to bad hygiene. Some older persons have a young skin. A young skin has sufficient oil, escret ed by the sebaceous glands, to keep it soft, warm and pliant. Any old skin lacks this natural skin oil and young skin has sufficient oil, secret- young skin may be vigorously wash ed with soap and water dally. An old skin should be cleansed rather with a blend oil such as olive oil, sweet almond oil or sessme oil or with pure, freshly made cold cream cold cream mado by any pharma cist after the formula for Ointment of Rose Water (Unguentum Aquae Rosae) In the U. S. or British Phar macopoeia. It is a mistake for ono with a young skin to begin using creams or oily or greasy cosmetics of any kind. It Is unwise for one with an old skin to use soap and water, or In some circumstances even water, for cleansing the face. Old skins give more troubls In win- j ter, not because of the cold, but be- cause the indoor air in winter is i usually excessively dried out by arti ficial heating and the akin suffers as do book binds, growing plants, 1 musical Instruments and furniture. In the winter season an old akin needs a dally ration of oil to keep it In more supple condition. But air conditioning is the best protection for old skins, or at least provisions for the evaporation of several gal lons of water In the heated air every day. How to maintain healthful hu nwdity is described In a monograph which will be sent on request 11 you Inclose a stamped envelope bearing your address. Dust, grime, soil or dirt on the skin do little or no harm. Often the means used to remove them may be more injurious to the complexion. Contrary to a popular belief, dirt, soil, grime or dust on the skin la not a cause of blackheads or pimples. Plain soap, not medicated, is prob ably the best of all antiseptics or dis infectants to use on the skin. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Too Much Halt. My sister puts a largo amount of salt In all her food. She is pale and thin and never feels the heat no mat ter how hot It is. What Is the effect of using so much salt? (J. O.) Answer Too much salt retains too much water In the body tissues, makes them flabby and anemic. It also in terferes with the absorption and util lzatlon of food. Gold Old Winter Time. I work out of doors and the win ters here are cold. Friends tell me to wear woolen underwear, cap and heavy jacket or I'll suffer later In life with rheumatism. I always wear enough to be comfortable, but this does not Include woolens.-(D. M.) Answer I'd do as you do. Wool or part wool underwear and stockings are all right if one finds them more comfortable. The "rheumatism' bug aboo Is Just that Epilepsy. Man died of cerebral hemorrhage caused by epilepsy. He had no signs of this disease until he was 86 years old. No history of epilepsy In his family. His five children are grown up, normal. Would their children be likely to inherit epilepsy? (8. E. M.) Answer Nature, and Muse of epi lepsy still more or less conjectural. Alcoholism, Insanity or feeble-mind ed ness may be factor in heredity. Pact that condition does not appear before adult age favors conclusion it is not a heritable defect in this instance.
