Thla la the last wee ox wi h mary campaign (prolonged cheering.) The politicians are all busier than bees with apologies to the bees, for inferring they are mud-hens. A de vastating rumpus, into which a number of prominent New Deal noses have been rammed. Is raging in Democratic ranks. It Is not thought this bumptious meddling will split the party much farther up the back than the cross-roads of the suspenders. The Klamath Indians. after two weeks of pow-wowlng voted for a per capita division of $5,000,000 re cently awarded them. In a suit against the government. Each Poor U1 will get 2000. No fund was set aside to hire a lawer to oppose any attempt to give the country back to them. THE RETORT COURTKOC8 (NV Herald-Tribune) "The senator's mind Is so swollen by the necessity of con taining this large thought that little things like the constitu tion and democratic free speech are completely forgotten. Upon reflection, we apologize to Mr. Parley for mentioning him In the same editorial with Mr. Mlnton." e "The Undersecretary retains his title, his $10,000 soinry. the uso of a department automobile and garage space in the Interior Building base ment. Otherwiao his connection with the department Is limited to a tele phone line from the main switch board to his ex-receptlonlst." (New York World-Telegrnm) Oosht how the Undersecretary must aufferl Secretory of the Interior Ickes. now doing what he can to dofeat Gov ernor Martin for the Democratic primary nomination, Is the distin guished gent, who In a moment of pea-mi ndedness, changed "Hoover Dam" to "Boulder Dam." At the time this was recognized as the all time height of small-bore political meanness. There Is Just the chance Oregon may wako up after all the votes are counted, to discover It has been ro-chrlatened in honor of North Carolina rubber-stamp, who always voted right on all New Deal notions. Peoria Bill Oates underwent other birthday yesterday. His age Is none of anybody's business, but he Is still going like 00. A poet, who asked to remain anonymous, fired the following at him. in honor of his birthday: "Now Bill has lived long And bill has lived loud And 'tho BUI were dead Yet Bill would sprak on. But underneath all Bill has a big heart; This town would be small--Were he not a part. Should you wait on yourself Around in his store And you steal otf the ahelf Says Bill. 'Take some more.' He says we are fed By what he has got; This town: were Bill dead Would miss him a lot. To read In his ads We know wed all die Were It not for food-fart He brsgs to the sky. No Bill Is not small He's too big to kill: Be content to Just mil Him nothing but 'BUI'."

WE came to the office this morning to meet a vociferous de mand to take the hide off President Roosevelt, for inter fcring in the Democratic primary in this state. "Why don't you pick on the man responsible," cried the spokesman, "instead of panning such stooges as Elton Wat- kins, Steve Early, and the like. know it. Franklin is responsible, and if he weren't such teacher's pet in this place, you'd be saying so and giving him a swift kick in the seat of the rngeous the President of the of Oregon, who they can have of their own state. What does sian serfs. If we ever get a etc., etc., far beyond the allotted IF we believed President Roosevelt WERE responsible for the "New Deal" effort to defeat Governor Martin, we would gladly follow our apoplectic friend's suggestion. But we hap pen to KNOW he isn't. And every newspaperman in the state who has kept in close touch at all with Washington and the Walter Pierce faction of the Democratic party, knows he isn't. It's another case of the President, yielding to his desire to please, and the persuasion of those who happened to have his ear, at the psychological time. He hag again been the victim of poor advice; but he did not initiate the action. a . THE effort to get the President to aid in the defeat of Gover- nor Martin has been going on aggressively for at least two months, and Congressman Pierce, has from the first, been active in it. He has been vigorously aided by Elton Wntkins, disgrunt led office seeker, and of course by Henry Hess, Governor Mar tin's opponent, and the Hess brain trust. The pressure brought upon the President has been tremen dous, it even being reported, and never denied that John L. fiewis, put in a strong word, against the man who dared tell lawless labor leaders in Oregon where they got off. . . . ' HPIIEN something happened, we don't know what, but something terribly vital, as far as the primary fortunes of General Martin and the Democratic party in this state are con cerned. President Roosevelt still refused to do what he did in Florida, directly enter the primary through his son James but he did agree to give Governor Martin a slap on the wrist, denying a certain statement linking the Governor familiarly and approvingly with the President j and ho also agreed to keep his hands off tho rest of the program, which was to draw in certain influential members of the cabinet and senate, to op pose the nomination of Martin, and come out approvingly for Henry Hess. "I IE might as well have originated the idea?" Well, we hardly think that. In fact it is the conviction of this column that had the President a TRUE idea of the sit uation in Oregon, he would never have entered the primary against Governor Martin directly or indirectly, and he would never have sanctioned any other member of his administration doing so. Cj'OR it is the considered judgment of this column that this action bv President Roosevelt, will lose him more friends in this state, and do moro harm to his party and his adminis tration, than anything that has been done since he was first inaugurated. Such action in fact we regard as close to a fatal blunder. There may be some justification istration entering a party primary where the nomination to an office of tho federal government is at stake, the congressional support of a national administration, is of vital national impor tance. But tliero is no justification, no excuse whatever for this administration or any administration, interfering in the matter of STATE government telling the people of this state or anv other whom thev should choose to administer their OWN AKFAIRS, and whom they should defeat. We agree with our.table-thuniping visitor, it is none of the government's business, and he can put in all the "blanhety blanks," he wishes as far as wo are concerned. fJOWKVER, we can see no particular good that can bo done ' by cursing, or squawking, what's been done has been DONE, and no power in creation, chu NOW undo it. SO what! Well, merely this: LET EVERY FRIEND OF GOVERNOR MARTIN in South ern Oregon, go to the polls this Friday, and mark a cross be fore his name if he is a Democrat; and write his name in, and mark a ero;.s before that, if he is a Republican. That is the only hope as we see it, a last minute uprising throughout the .state, an uprising to uphold good government on one hand, to rebuke federal intereferenee in our own af fairs, on the other. .... IT can he done, if tho peoplo will only wake up and do it. There is no doubt whatever, that a majority of the people of Oregon an overwhelming majority want Governor Mar tin to remain as thief executive of this state. If they will go to the polls and vote accordingly, three days hence, they will get what they want. It's a genuine crisis, as we view it. If there are not enough Democrats to nominate him, then there may be enough Repub licans. It's no time to quibble over parties, or to leave any Klone unturned. f,et all Martin people, men and women, go to the polls on Friday, and vote. Let that be done and there need be no worry about the final result. PIONEER WASHINGTON MERCHANDISER DIES PORTLAND. May 17 (AP) Henry Rothschild. 75. son of D. C. H.

Two months ago a man wrote from New York: I have taken the exercises as out lined by you for several years and have obtained much benefit for long standing doifblo rupture, At first I dared not attempt tho exercises with out my truss on, but about yeara ago I decided to do as you suggested. leaving off the truss and supporting both sides with the middle finger.

This Is how it fetoR&t mean works: the stage doorman la cjnfrontcd by a man who hands him o printed card. On tho cord Is embossed John Doakes The Star-News. I would like to sco Mr. Ford.' he says politely. Right off the bat this has a phoney ring, for reporters aeldcm approach actors they don't know without first making appointments. But the actor can't be sure; he doesn't want t offend the press. So he says (Mr. Ford In thla cose), "Let him come In." There is no denying the fact that the intruder Is an artful worker. He has studied the star's career; he knows he has been in picture; he comes in beaming and with hand outstretched. "Ifa such a delight to see you." he cries. "I l-.nven't seen you since that dny on Vine street. I'm Doakea of the Los Angeles Star News." "Oh, yea, replies Ford, "won't you sit down."

VE OR CURB HERNIA Sunday morning without the truss and no ill effects." It is not quite correct to say that I suggested leaving off the truss In such a case. I suggest the exercises should be taken In "cases of recent hernia where the protrusion Is small." In old hernias where the protrusion Is large, or In double hernias, the oa tlent should follow the advice of his or her own physician In reference to leaving off the truss at any time. Most umbilical or navel hernias In Infants are spontaneously cured by the time the chtld la three years old, especially If the child's muscular de velopment, nutrition and growth are normal and a suitable belt or other support Is kept on to prevent the bulging.

Hopkins wrote a let ter to all workers on the WPA rolls, telling them they were free to vote as they pleased. Possibly tho Kentucky collector and the WPA representative met in Sen ator Berkley's office to trade tips on the Kentucky derby. Possibly the purpose of the meeting was to find a way to prevent WPA workers from being dragooned into casting Barkley votes. Possibly a nice game of lotto or penny ante passed the time away Cynics will doubt these possibili ties, however. They will suspect that the meeting's object was to lay plans Tor rallying the federal Jobholders to the Barkley cause; to choose suitable projects on which a suitable number of millions of dollars mtght be spent: to decide how WPA work ers might be persuaded . to vote right. And the suspicions of the cynics will find support In evidence already appearing In Kentucky, where a sudden secrecy shrouds new per sonnel on WPA rolls, where Barkley precinct workers are said to be en Joying a life of new abundance on federal bounty, where rumors of huge new projects are common talk. The contrast between the fates of Senator Barkley and Senator Joseph F. Guffey of Pennsylvania suggests that it Is better to be a president's sen-ant than a prosldent-maker. Joe Guf ley's claim to be a president maker is even better than James A. ParleySa. Guffey and his docile Penn sylvania really started the band wagon which Jim Farley steered to triumph. Joe Guffey'a fortunes will depend on the outcome of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary, which is haying Its voting climax today. When the contest began, Guffey sought New DrM help for his candidates. He was thrown a few post offices, and ennltted to retain his control of the Pennsylvania WPA. Even so. he was not ratlsfled. Some days ago. he marched confi dently Into the Justice department. pointed out that there was a vacancy on the federal circuit court In Penn sylvania and demanded that district court Judge Albert B. Marls be ele vatrd to fill the empty place. He remarked that he wanted the ap pointment announced before the pri mary's end. as a testimonial to his own continuing power in Washing ton. The Justice department and the .trategists of the New Deal took the problem under adts?ment. They pon dered the thought that, if the Guf fey fMrea should losw the primary the victorious opposition would har bor resentment. They listened to a delegation of opposition congressmen from Pennsylvania, who requested that the appointment be delayed. And, In the end. they refused the r-quest of the unfortunate Guffey. who had onlv to lift a finger, in the days of hi pove-, to get anything in the New Deal 'a gift. I The I Parade I (Continued from Page One ) j Comment on the Days News By IBANK JENKINS IH. VAN WINKLE, attorney-gen-e eral of Oregon, is a candidate at Friday's primary for a position on the Oregon supreme court. This writer thinks he should be DEFEATED. IN March of 1036, there was a battle between rival unions In Clatsop county. Several men were killed and many others wounded. Thirty mem bers of the attacking faction were arrested and held for trial. What followed Is described by the Asto ria n -Bud get, which Is published In Clatsop county, where the bloody battle occurred. It says: "The then district attorney (of Clatsop county), Willis West, requested aid in the prosecution from Attorney -General Van Win kle, who demurred and objected until he was ordered to take charge by Governor Martin. He then agreed to appoint as special prosecutor Bert Tongue, of Hills boro, who spent three weeks with West In preparing the prosecu- tlon, only to have his commls-" slon WITHHELD on the day of the trial. "Without commission, he was forced to sit silently by while a deputy out of Mr. Van Winkle's office took over for the state, ruled the district attorney out of the case, despite the latter's vig orous objections to the procedure and effected the notorious "com promise with crime' which re sulted In the PAROLE OF ALL DEFENDANTS." IT developed that this procedure I had been COMPLETELY PREAR RANGED In conferences between the attorney-general's offlce'and tho AT- TORNEY FOR THE ACCUSED RIOT ERS. The conclusion la Inevitable that Van Winkle deliberately sanctioned this action. a O such man. in this writer's opinion, should be permitted to become a member of the Oregon supreme court. VAN WINKLE Is opposed (for po sition No. S) by Hall LusK, who la now a member of the oourt, hav ing been appointed by Governor Martinr and by James T. Chin nock, of Grants Pass. This writer, without malice toward Mr. Chlnnock. will vote for Judge Lusk. Obviously, if the purpose la to DEFEAT VAN1 WINKLE, It will be necessary to center upon ONE of his opponents. Communications The Burden of Proof To the editor: In the Pathfinder for May 14th. there Is a condensed statement of legislation now requested by the president, touching monopolies. One point especially should be carefully noted and weighed by every American citizen. He urges, "im provement of anti-trust procedure by making companies charged with violation, prove that they are not trusts, rather than force the govern ment to prove they are." Just place that In your mental scales and weigh It. One priceless heritage passed down to us by our fathers Is the legal prin ciple that every person is presumed to be Innocent until he is proven guilty! And it applies the same to corporations as to Individuals. It is a corner-stone of American penal law, and of American liberty. But It would seem that such a "procedure" is too slow and bother some to suit our president, when convictions are wanted right now. So he asks for a new procedure (a Hew Deal) In criminal law. Nothing un-American, of course. Oh . no I Just something more In harmony with wiiat Americanism will mean after he geta it remodeled. Just some little thing that will make a federal indictment, based on suspicions and rumor, tantamount to a conviction unless the accused party takes the necessary time and trouble to collect evidence to disprove all suspicions and rumors. The burden of prool has always rested on the accuaoi : All he asks Is that It now be trans ferred to the accused. Federal departments could then prepare skillfully worded indictment ! which they wouldn't have to prove They could go fishing or watch their innocent victims perspire aa they searched for that disproof. If thai ; perversion of Justice Is established aa to corporations, it would soon become the law as to Individuals. It would then be up to you to prove that you were not exceeding the speed limit, that you did not stea the chickens, that you did not start the scandal, etc. You would be pre sumed guilty until you could prove your Innocence. As a legal principle it Is unfair undemocratic un-American. It would be a kind of "black-Jack" in the federal band with which to intimi date big business, or to "crack down" on them. And It is our president that Is asking congress for such a change In the law. ED WIN DFACON. Talent. Ore.. May 16 1938.
