WE are a trifle sick of the theory that all is fair in politics After all there should be a limit SOMEWHERE. But for some time it has been apparent, that as far as Henry Hess, Governor Martin's primary- opponent, is concerned, there is no limit. wF;; MEMUEB OK UNITED PRESS MEMBER OF AUDIT BUREAU ill-' CIRCULATIONS Advertising itapresentatlTea OfHces in New York, 'hicego, Dstrelt, San Francisco.

JfcWSSll SUM wonder 1 this day and age, can a campaign, as unprincipled, as the one this La Grande attorney is waging, really moke votes, does it get the man responsible for it anywhere f He and his supporters undoubtedly think so or they wouldn't do it. But this column has its "dou'ts", Oregon probably has its share of political morons, and grown ups, who when the campaign starts to warm up, are merely children; but the more we see of practical politics in this state, the more we are con vinced they represent a decided minority. ..... KTO, the average man in the street isn't as dumb, as some of ' the slick lads in the lobby of the Imperial hotel, think he is. He may LOOK as though he fell for this hooey and hokum, but the trusting "bookey" who puts his money on "LOOKS", wakes up the morning after election, without his shirt. At least that is this paper's conviction. And we have ob terved the workings of practical politics in this commonwealth well, for quite a spell, neighbor, quite a spell I . . rySREGARDINQ the plain dirt arid mendacious muck, that the Hess faction is passing out regarding the Governor, we have the reliable A.P. reporting that at Albany Tuesday niffht, Attorney Hess declared that WITHOUT QUESTION if the leader of his own party in this state were re-elected Gover nor, he (Martin) would sell Bonneville dam to the power utili ties, that an attempt had already been made to sell the dam to Henry Ford for $5,000,000! Now the question is, how many votes did that Baron Munchausen crack make for Attorney Hess in Albany! How many will it take away from Governor Martin and give to him, as the,tale is circulated, throughout the state t Here's our guess, not a vote I Here's another guess: That such obvious falsehoods as this, not- only fail to make votes for the man responsible for thein, but do make votes for his opponent, scores of them. We may be overly optimistic, and place too much faith in the discernment of the rank und file, but we don't think that's the proper diagnosis. . pOR certainly in making statements like these the smart attor- ney from La Grande, to express it mildly, OVERPLAYS HIS HAND. Anyone old enough, or LITERATE enough, to vote Jtnows that Governor Martin could no more sell Bonneville, to the utilities or Henry Ford, or anyone else, than he eould sell the Brooklyn bridge to Mayor La Guardia. Bonneville is owned by the government, Bonneville IS BEING operated by the government, if Bonneville is ever sold, it will have to be SOLD by the government. In the final analysis the Governor of Oregon, or the people of Oregon, linvc no more to say about what should be done with the govern ment dam at Bonneville, than what should be done with the Washington monument. Everyone knows that, and. no one better than Candidate Hess. Vet he makes that statement apparently in all seriousness to the people of Albany, in elaborating one of his favorite texts namely: that if the people of this state, re-elect one of the best Governors this state has ever had, they are going to be "sold down the river" and the light mid power pliiiiderbund alone will win out. HO HUM so it goes! everything is fair in politics, and one niinlllrln'r tnlrn uiiitompntv mnrlA in tho hoar nf tho pnni. paign too seriously. Maybe so. But when it comes to sticking to the truth, and being a person whose word can be trusted, we believe the people of Oregon, in selecting the chief executive of their state, do take the matter seriously, always have and always will. And when the votes are counted the night of May 20th. Brother Hess and his self appointed "brain trust" will find that out. Personal Health Service By William Brady, M P.

From time to time some physician calls attention to the uncertainty of the diagnosis of "chronic appendi citis." , Erven In cases where an X-ray picture Indicates things are In a bad state In the neighborhood of the appendix the diagnosis must still be only ten tative and the treatment expec tant unless all handa are ear tor operation, in which event the operation should be regarded as purely exploratory. The one thing about the whole business that you may be sure of Is that It is going to coat you a pretty good fee, but that la aa It should be. People who demand luxuries should never squawk when paying for them. Now It appears that a Canadian physician, having considerable spare time on his hands, decided to make use of It In a way that Is popular among specialists In the United States. He prepared and distributed to 187 persons on whom appendec tomy had been done by someone else and who were later under his care a questionnaire. In these cases the original operation, removal of the appendix, had been done for what purported to be "chronic appendi citis." Nono of the 167 victims had experienced any relief from their symptoms after the appendectomy. None of them had ever had acute appendicitis, so far as they knew. Well,, sir. believe It or not. this Canndlan doctor persuaded no leas than 147 of the 187 to have another operation of the kind he thinks chronic appendicitis" requires ir op eration Is done at all, namely, com plete removal of all so-called con genital bands and membranes from tho cecum 'or ascending colon or hepatic flexure, or any combination of these found present. And again believe It or not he reports In the Canadian Medical Association Jour nal for January. 1038, that of the 147 patients so operated ipon 136 report ed complete relief from pain on the , right side 02 percent of cures. I I still say that anyone who suf fers from what some doctor or other has called "chronic appendicitis" and who has not had one or more at tacks of acute appendicitis, should walk warily when In the vicinity of an operating room. Especially when the eager surgeon exhibits an X-ray negative and points out the unmis takable signs of trouble in the ap pendix. X-ray evidence la significant in a case of alleged "chronic ap pendicitis" only when It Is negative, that Is, when the picture shows nor ma) conditions In the appendix re gion that's a sign you can forget the appendix and look further for an explanation for the symptoms. In many Instances' masked peptic ulcer is mistaken for "chronic ap pendicitis." Not a bad Idea to have a try at a suitable peptic ulcer diet and alkalis to neutralize excessive acidity In auch cases; especially when natn. distress, feeling of "gas" In Btomach recurs regularly at 11 a. m. 4 p. m. and 3 or 3 o'clock In the morning, in a man aged 30 or there abouts.

The Strange Case of Germany wish some recognized authority would psychoanalyze ' Germany. Frankly we can't understand that country, and wonder if anyone KLSE CAN. Certainly the German people are a great people, and have led the world for generations in efficiency, progressiveness, and culture. In the arts and sciences particularly the latter they have been pretty much supreme. And yet for YKARS, in fact ever since the start of the world war, what BUNGLEKS they have been, as far as diplo macy, international politics is ooncernedl . .What IS the answer! Do the Germans suffer, and have they always suffered from a blind spot, as far as getting along with other people, is concerned t Or is it a case of an entire nation suffering from shell shock for 15 or 20 years t We don't know, and we wonder if anyone outside of a mod ern, mass-psychology clinic DOES know. To this column it is one of the major mysteries of a mysterious world epoch. .... TAKE the growth of this German-American bund business for example, some authorities claim there are nearly half it mill ion members in the United States. This forming of Nazi camps, waving the swastika flag, goose stepping in a militaut awl provocative fashion, throughout the beer gardens of the East and .Middletvest. Certainly if the German-Americans of this country, WISHED fi alienate American sympathy for their fatherland, rcv-ve world enmity and prejudice against them which after two de cades, had pretty much died down, here was the perfect way to do so. It has even been reported that Ilerr Hitler himselt o'iil what he could to discourage such suicidal nonsense, Hiid ytt this fritz Kuhii and his followers persist, and have pcr bistcd month after month in riding to a certain fall. KTOW congress has passed a resolution to investigate the V S. ' Nazis along with other "un-American propaganda activi ties." Hy all means let such an investigation be carried out.

I was standing In the dining room of a major hotel on the East Side talking with Com mander Ballls of the coast guard and former Gov ernor Lawrence Judd of the Ha w a 1 1 a n t&lonos when a slim, dark young man came up and addressed the commander Hello, dad," he said; "we are sitting over there behind that palm. Come oti over." "All right the commander replied. Then he said , "Gentlemen, this is my son. He's sitting with Lieutenant Walsh, of tho U. S. navy.

They've got a housing project on down there, too, Just like people in this country." I talked with him a few minutes and then left him to enjoy his brlel stay ashore without too many reml nlscenses of the long ten months afloat. For he must report back to Washington within one week. And after that qulen sabe? These sail ors never know where they're going until they're half way there. f So we picked our way through the crowd until we came to a table be hind a big palm tree and presently I was shaking hands with that cap able young officer who Is just bacf; after ten months In the Antarctic He has been down In the polar re gions, seeing that whaling regula tions axe observed by the American Norwegian fishing agencies whose representatives are taking whales In the vicinity of Byrdland. "How does It feel to be back, lieu tenant?" was a natural . . , "Well, replied th lieutenant, "after ten months aboard ship, what do you think?" His feet were planted on a nice hard floor beneath a nice white table and he was permitting the softly languorous rephyrs of music to gently brush the salt air out of his hair. "How about those whales?" I In quired. "They took about 3.000 of them. he replied. "Any big ones?" Well, one of the blue ones hit 96 feet." "Blue whales? What's that?"

IMAGINE a couple of men running a farm. As long as Xhey work hard and get along together, they can at least make a living.

THE correspondents tell us that the "major result of Hitler's visit to Rome appears to be e strengthen ing of friendship by application of grease to possible trouble points In the Rome-Berlin axis." Maybe so, but to this writer It ap pears that the main result of the session in Rome Is a pretty plain Intimation that Mussolini Is sitting on the fence, prepared to Jump down on whichever side finally OFFERS HIM THE MOST. THIS dispatch comes from Wash ington : "Growers who this season planted about 80 million acres to wheat may be asked by the agri cultural adjustment administra tion to reduce their operations in 1939 to about 50 million acres the . smallest since the world war." 1 IT MAY be necessary, of course. There isn't much to be gained by growing more wheat than we can eat end sell and If we're going to rule our Uvea by the doctrine of scarcity we'll have to reconcile ourselves to the fact that we can't have as much as we used to have. But if we reduce our wheat acre age to 50 million acres, it would bo Just 11 ke old Mother Nature to spring a drought on us.
