Will They "Get" the Governor? f"N the surface it looki v Martin. But the moment one gocx picture is presented. For there is a quiet,, subterranean, but well-organized and determined effort to "get" the good, i.e.: in the Democratic His enemies and he has people of the state, as a whole, Governor will be re-elected by So their only nhance to defeat him, is in the primary where only registered Democrats can vote, and various partisan and personal wires can be effectively TPHK strongest opposition to from the radical wing of organized labor. Governor Martin has had the deal, as far as organized labor to knuckle down to the labor politician, or be intimidated by the labor racketeer. As a result what threatened to be a civil war, between radical labor on other has been averted r industrial peace is at least in the pro cess of being restored; and various and sundry labor gangsters, guilty of criminal sabotage, are cooling their heels in the penitentiary. NATURALLY these gangsters don't like it.- Neither do their friends and followers. And the radical labor wing is sore because these convictions to end their graft, unless the ride, politically. They can't very well make issue j so tbey are, and for many months have been, working quietly to convincr all organized and unorganized labor, the working people of this state that Governor Martin is their enemy, is not, and never has been, their friend. ....... TpiIIS is not only untrue, Martin will scree, is the The WORKING man and woman in this state never has had, and never will have, a friend, than Governor Martin. The keynote of his administra tion in fact, might be termed his effort to so improve and strengthen this state economically that the people who work nil of them, might be assured paying jobs. That desire distinguished his attitude toward Bonneville dam; it has been his policy toward every issue that has arisen during his administration. "Will this tend to develop the state, increase payrolls, make the state a better place in which to live, for the people all the people!" If the answer has been "yes" the Governor has been for it. If it has been "no" ho has been against it. MORE than that. In this crusade he has led against labor radicalism and lawlessness, Governor Martin, far from being a foe of labor, lias been the greatest friend organized labor in this-stato or anywhere else ever had. For NOTHING will do more to discredit labor, deprive it of its legitimate rights, and threaten a long period of injustice and persecution, than a continuation of the tactics, that brought inch confusion to Oregon's industrial situation, caused such destruction and loss, aroused such widespread publio indigna tion, and finally, thanks to our leadership, was put down. And we are sure the right thinking and conservative loaders in the labor movement realize this. But in all organizations where intenso organization CONSCIOUSNESS enters, pride and partisanship are factors, and as a result this underground cam paign to get Governor Martin, progress. . The individual member gets been attacked this is an attack upon hiin, when only the undesirable elements in his organization have been attacked. r.nd it is to his interest, the well as to the interests of the whatever source it comes, should jfJOWEVER, as this campaign progresses, snd the true facts become more generally known, we are quite sure that this latter fact will become more apparent to the rank and file of organized-'abor in this state, and this attempt like others to GKT "the best Governor this state has ever had," will fail. OUT the Merlin campaign should certainly not be conducted on this assumption. In fact one of the greatest dangers as we see it, is the fact the primary opposition to Governor is not only quiet, but indirect, and because of this fact its strength is apt to be underestimated, and a feeling of over-confidence created. Nothing could be more unfortunate. Eternal vigilance is not only the price of liberty, it is the price of good government. And fundamentally the issue in this gubernatorial campaign, is liOOll GOVERNMENT. UNDER Governor Martin the state of Oregon has had GOOD government, in fact the best state government in the memory of the present riter, and that goes back over quarter of a century. And it has been good because, it has been efficient, fearless, absolutely honest, and last but not least, NON 1'OldTlCAL No Governor in the history of the state, in the history of the country as fnr as we are aware, has ever disregarded politics, refused to play politics, as has been true of Gover nor Martin. It has been amazing, refreshing, delightful! Hut it hasn't created an efficient political machine, it hasnt Hi-used lOO'o political partisMis. sore and created some pretty potent political enemies. So the big question in this primary is this: CAN AHSOIXTEliY HONEST, COl'RAGEOl'S, NON I'Ol.ITICAl, GOVERNMENT be sustained in the state of Ore gon, or whenever it is sincerely attempted, must it be doomed l, DEKEATT A viet-iry for Governor Martin will be an answer in the J.itfiniiiitiv...

Calif. AFTFR ALL, IT IS A A doctor in practice has certain ad- vantages over a doctor in print. For oxample a doctor In practice Is com paratively safe In saying what he thinks about the matter of exam ining the eyes for falling vision and prescribing for whatever alls the pstlent; or about the effects of pasteurization of milk on hu man nutrition. From experi ence I know It Is safe and some times apparently sound for a doctor In practice to ad vise a distracted mother to try a dose of the gad on a wayward and defiant daughter In her early 'teens. In print, however, he csn't do it south of the 33rd parallel, I have been given to un derstand. Is there any difference between physical courage and mental or so called "moral" courage? For exam ple, could a person have sufficient courage to fight with the menacing Intruder or to face great danger In or der to defend or help another who could not defend of help himself, yet lack, the "moral" courage to uphold a view or a belief he believed to be right, against any and all opposition? Or on the other hand, could a person be conspicuously courageous In tak ing his stand on some great moral question of ethics or religion or social economy, yet prove cowardly In re spect to a personal danger? My own answer is "No." Courago la courage, and fear Is fear. It all depends on the amount of adrenln secreted by the adrenal gland and poured Into the blood un der the emotional stress. If the adren- 1 function Is deficient, the person will not have much courage of any kind. If the adrenal function Is not too greatly Inhibited or restrained or weakened by long educational and cultural training and by the constant Inhibitions Imposed by civilization with its necessity for dissembling, concealing or repressing primitive emotions, the Individual will have sufficient courage for most emergen cies, physical or moral.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS EARTHQUAKES in Turkey take upwards of a thousand lives, render thousands homeless and do untold property damage. Eighteen villages are totally de stroyed and 33 others are badly damaged. Debris buries whole fam ilies and pits of boiling water arc opened up. It Is a major disaster.

Wc measure disaster by its NEAR NESS TO US. USED to speak, by the way. hushed and awed tones of the "terrible Turk," This writer can not recall that In recent years the Turks have started any wars, grab bed any nearby countries that did not belong to them or shot any opponents of the government against blank walls. Are the Turks getting better, or are the correspondents down that way Just getting careless? ENRY Ford says the "back-to- the-farm" movement Is the sol ution of present-day problems. "If people do not raise their own food." he adds, "they will have to have a dictator to tell them tc do It." AND if they do raise their own food, they wilt destroy the mar ket for those who have been raising It and selling it to them. It seems to be a tough problem, any way you look at It. (Thla in many ways old-fashioned writer has a personal notion that If we'd quit trylns to spend our selves rich, get fat out of scarcity have more by producing less, lift ourselves by our bootstraps, etc.. and would start In working and saving Instead of spending so much of our time trying to get lomethlng for nothing, a lot of these problems that are vexing us would vanish quickly Into thin air).

(AP) A new exchange of charges in Penn sylvan la's explosive Democratic prl mary campaign fight drew White House attention today as federal and state agencies pressed investigation on separate fronts. A telegraphed appeal to President Roosevelt from John B. Kelly, co- leaner of the party In Philadelphia, brought an Immediate Inquiry Into Kelly s assertion that Senator Jos eph P. Guffey, (D.. Pa.) was at tempting to coerce WPA workers for political purposes. Aubrwy Williams, national deputy WPA administrator, promised "sum mary action" If Kelly'a charges were substantiated. Williams told Kelly he was sending a special representative to confer with the Phlladelphlan and to obtain "any specific informa tion which you may have in your possession." Meanwhile, from the camp of Kelly's opposition came another call to the White House. Repressntative Walter (D., Pa.), who is aligned with Guffey, said he Joined in Kelly's request "because if there is any coercion of the WPA it's coming from Kelly's mob."

Communications (iking Away Plane Seeretsf To the Editor: In the Interest of American avia tion military security, the Women Defenders of America would like to call your uttentlsn to a vital article appearing In the current Issue of Liberty Majazlne (April 30th). The material Is entitled "America Has No Aerial Secrecy" and Is written by a Junior grade lieutenant in naval aviation. It Is the belief of our organization that the efficiency of America's mili tary aviation has been needlessly Jeopardized by the Indiscriminate sale of all our combat type of planes to foreiirn governments. Since these airplanes and engines are developed with our taxpayer s money, and in view of the fact that our young men would have to use them In combat should America go to war we do not think our aerial success should be Impaired by letting potential enemy governments know all about our fighting planes in advance. Our organization Is making and will continue to make a concerted drl- to stop the exportation of American military alrplanes and it needs your help. , DOROTHY M.
