A Strange Interlude NUMBER of friends have clipped an editorial re-print from the esteemed Corvallis Gazette-Times, recently pub. lislied in the Portland, Oregonian, and sent it, with various and sundry comments to our editorial desk. A fear seems to prevail that "Ye Editor" might have missed such a gem of editorial "wisdom and satire", as the Corvallis scribe penned, and the Oregonian generously broadcasted. No, we didn't miss it. , But we didn't, at the time, see any particular reason to comment on it. " And for the life of us we can't see anything either wise or satirical IN it. JNT fact to this column it appeared to be decidedly "old stuff.' The editor of the Corvallis paper, merely found the efforts of the M.-T., to explain President Roosevelt's interference in the Oregon primary against Governor Martin, extremely laughable, Certainly, he WOULD. The G.-T. has been laughing at the M.-T. almost as long as the M.-T. has been laughing at the G.-T., for they don't speak the same political language and never have. Politics is a very simple matter to the Corvallis Gazette Times. There are no shades, no overtones, no twilight zones, and above all no search for what is either true or desirable in the abstract. Politics is simply the Old Morality play brought up to date On one side are the forces of righteousness and light; on the other, those of evil and darkness. The former are composed exclusively of "100 Republicans, and the latter are, well what's left, including the Democrats. So naturally there was no doubt, and is none as far as the C. Q.-T. is concerned, that President Roosevelt deliberately and with malice aforethought plotted to do his old friend I General Martin in, and that the Elton Watkins, the Ickes, and Norrises et a were merely pawns in his diabolical game. Cer tainly, who could doubt it. And anyone, particularly any newspaper that does doubt it, is naive enough to make a horse laugh, (see the poor sheet struggling to free itself from the horns of its self-imposed dilemma, like a bottle-fly on a pint) Of F course it's funny, we can see the humor of it too. We would be splitting our sides also, if we embraced a similar political philosophy, and as long as the occupant of the White House belongs to our opposing party, immediately equip him with horns and a tail. More than that, the Gazette-Times may be right, this time. (By the law of averages it SHOULD be.) We don't KNOW. We doubt if anyone but the President himself DOES know. We still believe if Governor. Martin had been represented at Washington, as was Attorney Hess, if there had been ANYONE to fight his battles with the President instead of literally NO ONE, the results might well havo been very dif ferent, not only as to the President's action, but as to the returns a week ago tonight. But with tho battle over, the question is, we admit, entirely academic. Governor Martin has boen beaten, the action of the Roosevelt administration was the chief factor in that defeat, and what might have happened if something else had happened, is to say the least, rather beside the point. ANOTHER factor, however, ISN'T. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, politics is a comedy to those who think, and a tragedy, to those who feel. Whether President Roosevelt deliberately plotted to defeat Governor Martin, or was the innocent tool of a plot engineered by others, the net result we admit, to this column, was in the nature of a tragedy. It shouldn't have been. A newspaper should have no feelings, particularly where politics is concerned. But as has been pretty well indicated in this column the past few years, where President Roosevelt and Governor Martin were involved, this column HAD them, many of them, and pretty strong ones. T is no pleasant, job to have to revise and readjust some put others in a bag, throw in some bricks, and heave the mess overboard. Such a spectacle we grant is always high comedy, to the detached and sophisticated intellectuals sitting on the side lines. It. is not so sido-splitting to the unfortunate victim.

First there Is the old standard U. ' S. P. tincture of 1 o d 1 n a ' which contains 7 per cent Iodine and 5 percent of pot- asslum Iodide. Then more re cently there has been Introduced Into the Pharm acopoeia (the le gal standard for all druggists) a MUd Tincture of Iodine, containing percent of iodine and 23 percent of sodium iodide. This Mild Tincture of Iodine Is also known as "Surgical Tincture of Iodine" or "Weak Tinc ture of Iodine," and la the strength Intended especially for home use as a good first aid disinfectant for any cut, abrasion, bruise, wound, burn or puncture or bite. I am sorry tho two strengths of tincture of Iodine have caused con fusion. I discovered only the other day that there are two strengths of tincture of Iodine official. It la an noying, but nothing to get excited about. It doesn't Interest me enough to make me examine the label of the vial to see whether I have been tak ing the stronger tincture or the weaker tincture, In my lodln ration. As I have endeavored to make plain to everybody. It doesn't matter whether ono takes, say, a grain or two grains of pure :odin when one takes one's ration. A drop of the strong tincture would contain ap proximately one-tenth of a grain of pure elemental lodln (If my arith metic la not as bad as usual), and a drop of the new Mild Tincture of Iodine would contain approximately one-thlrtleth of a grain of pure ele mental lodln. Everybody who buys tincture of Iodine at all, for the family medi cine cupboard (aa the routine first aid disinfectant for all minor wounds) or for taking as an lodln ration, should ask tor the Mild Tinc ture of Iodine, and see that It Is so labeled, Besides the name. Mild Tinc ture of Iodine, .the label will prob ably carry the good old skull and crossbonea or the warning "Poison." Just an old drugstore custom. Drug gists deal out all sorts of genuine , poisons without a "Poison" label, but how virtuously they cling to the; quaint custom of labeling lodln pois- on. Hns anybody ever heard of any one dying from iodine poisoning? Oh. yes, a nasty character can stir up a tittle excitement any time by swal lowing some Iodine, but that's all It amounts to. It would be more consistent and honest to take the "Poison" label off from the Iodine bottle and put it on the little pack age of dope so freely dispensed, with the verbal or Implied assurance that it Is 'quite harmless, to Tom, Dick and Mrs. Harry whenever they, have a "cold," the grip, neuralgia, arth ritis, neuritis, lumbago, fever, or something to worry about. Tincture of Iodine should be kept only In rubber or glass stoppered vial, not In a vial stoppered with cork. On long standing both the alco hol and the lodln volatilize or evap orate, but the alcohol faster than the lodln, so that the tincture gradually becomes more concentrated with age.

We retaliated by having no part of London's "Time And The Conways." It waa at this point that Victor Payne-Jennings, one of Lon don's most prominent showmen, came to New York to produce "Whlteoaks." Appalled by these trans-Atlantic disasters, he instructed hla staff to hush all news relating to the sue cees of his play in London which waa rather difficult, since it was known to be the British capital's oldest hit and, moreover, Ethel Bar rymore was announced as the star of the American version. When the play went to Montreal Toronto and other try-out cities previous to its New York premiere, Payne-Jennlnga had recurrent agon ies. He feared word of Its prosperity on tour would strengthen the Jtnx on It. And when Washington sup ported It generously, the Prltlsh pro ducer was reluctant to return from Palm Beach to witness the debacle he was sure the first night would bring.

You'll want to read BY PHOEBE ATWOOD TAYLOR This Thrilling; Mail Tribune Serial Starts Sunday, May 29 Medford Mail Tribune The president's whole-hearted ac ceptance of the plan dates no further back than this spring. The abortive anti-monopoly crusade . around the new year waa the first intimation of the plan's existence. But. at that time, the president was still following a fairly conservative policy. He coun tenanced the effort to hand the New York governorship to Bob Jackson. Yet, if he had the plan In mind at all, it was only as a bold measure, to be held In reserve. A long period of stagnation follow ed the almost simultaneous collapse of the anti-monopoly crusade and Jim Farley's successful queering of the Jackson candidacy. The voices of such moderate advisers as Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., were heard at the White House. More than one of the present general staff members was in virtual exile. The turning point seems to have been the moment when continued bad times forced the president to re vert to a spending policy. Then the exiled left-wingers were recalled. Then intensive work began on all the plan's aspects. Whatever the turning point, however, the president Is now wholly committed to the great plan. Presidential commitments often do not last, but he has already gone so far that he can hardly turn back. Some Incidents of the plan's exe cution have been amusing. For ex ample. In order to give the president an excuse for a trip south to bless his favored candidates, Governor E. D. Rivers of Georgia persuaded the University of Georgia to offer the president the first honorary degree in Its history. Some of the plan's Implications are remarkably Interesting. If It succeeds. It will remove the La Follettes' chief complaint against the Democratic party that it Is always immobilized by its conservative elements, cur iously enough, the plan was conceived by just the men In the administra tion who share the La Follettes' eco nomic notions. An dit seems possible that, If ths plan fails, these men, some of whom have always been close to the Wisconsin Progressives.
