Meddling in Primaries
THE pulpit is to be occupied this morning by two very dis
tinguished gentlemen: General Hugh Johnson and David
Lawrence,
By a remarkable coincidence they have chosen the same
subject, "Meddling in the Primaries." Even more remarkable,
they agree.
And most remarkable of nil the Mail Tribune agrees with
both of them, which certainly comes under the heading of
"man bites dog" news.
We urge all our readers to listen attentively to what these
two men say, for this subject "Meddling in the Primaries,1
particularly as far as the use of federal rejief funds is con
cerned, promises to be the outstanding issue in the fall cam
paign, and unless it is definitely cleared up before then, also
the dominant issue in the subsequent presidential campaign
as well.
We will now listen to General Hugh 8. Johnson, General
Johnson:
Ladies. and Gentlemen:
"Ttii la no brief for or again, either candidate in the Xowa
democratic senatorial primary Senator Gillette or Representa
tive Wearln. Prom all I can learn they are both good men
and my report from out where the tall corn growa aay that
Wearin would win even without any New Deal nudging. That'a
Iowa'i builneas and none of mine.
"But, as haa been pointed out, Undercover Corcoran other
wlae Tommy the Cork haa beon calling up the boys to tell
them to go down the line to get Gillette and work for Wearln.
The reaaon may be assumed to be that the senator voted
against the court-packing plan and the representative has yessed
and rubber-stamped every New Deal measure.
"Not one person out of 100 who reads this can name Mr.
Corcoran's official position in government but a far greater per
centage knows that when he speaka It Is accepted around
Washington as hla master's voice and all the echoes answer
"yea." This is a blatont instance of the executive steam
rollering congress rm It has continuously tried to steam-roller
the courts. That Is not Just Iowa's business. That Is every
body's business.
"That was bad enough, but a worse thing followed. Harry
Hopkins gave out a atatement that, If he were voting In Iowa,
he would vote for Wearln, Now Mr. Hopkins has spent more
of the people's money than any man who ever lived. He haa
the say-so aa to where, when and on what these billions shall
be spent. He can withhold money from any state or district,
or dish it out In millions. Every politician In Iowa has so
great n stake in Mr. Hopkins' smile that few would dare to
Invite his frown.
Furthermore, he gives work and pay to millions of people
and he can fire or hire every one of them at discretion. They
are desperately poor people. Their WPA pittance from Mr.
Hopkins la their all. They, with their friends, could swing that
primary election.
"It is hard to believe that Harry Hopkins did this. It must
have been In a thoughtless moment. For he haa fired WPA
people for "political activity." Now he should fire himself.
He has asserted that people on relief can vote as they please.
But who in Democratic politics or the WPA In fowa will now
vote as they please?
"This la using public funds held In a sacred trust for
barefaced bribery and coercion. It Is luting a, public position of
unprecedented power, honor and trust to strike at a funda
mental of representative and Democratic government. It Is one
of the worst things that have happened In this administration.
"Only one of the worst. It does not stand alone. Before hla
nuptial Jaunt to Ireland. Mr. Ickea did a similar thing In
Oregon. It was not quite so bold. He only said for publication
that one of the candidates for governor General Martin is
"no New Dealer at henrt." How Mr. Ickea became a searcher of
hearts does not clearly appear but It la plain enough that he
also is a dlsher-out of billions, When he speaks In a political
contest It carries far more than the well known tenderness and
beauty of his gentle diction and the ponderous weight of his
mighty opinion. It carries an unspoken promise of patronage
or an implied threat of reprisal either punctured by digits,
dollar marks and cyphers.
"History la being made these days at headlong speed here
and elsewhere m the world. It Isn't pleasant history hardly
a p loa sing moment. It Is a constant degradation of standards,
a continuous shattering of Ideals, and unending revelation of
ruthleMness, lack of scruple and disregard of the first principles
of political morality.
And now Mr. Lawrence will conclude today's discussion on
the same subject. Mr. Lawrence:
Ladies and Gentlemen t
"There are sad things happening all over the world where
democracy Is being debauched, but It la cause for genuine
lament and regret that here In the Un.ted States an example of
abuse of power should be found In the administration of relief
funds. That a supposedly humanitarian agency of government
should bo managed by a man who haa frankly become a political
agent In his behavior Is something so shocking that it would
be difficult to find a parallel In all the years of political in
trigue In the national capital.
For the last two or three years, It has been auerted by
foes of the New Deal that Harry Hopkins waa using the relief
administration to help the Roosevelt regime stay In office,
but there was no evidence that the Works Progress adminis
trator himself had any political axes to grind or that he would
tolerate It throughout his organization. ,
"Today, the American people have before them a frank
confession. Hopkins, by prearranged interview with a Des
Moines newspaper, announce what he thinks should be done
by the voters of Iowa as between two candidates for the United
states senate. If the announcement had been msde by Chair
man Farley of the Democratic national committee, It might have
been assumed that It was a political step quite naturally taken
by a political chieftain.
"But the Works Progress administration Is supposed to be
a non-partis..n Institution. The man at the head of It Is not
a member of the cabinet ltaelf, which, aa a rule, has a more
or less political slant, but he Is an executive of one of the
agencies crested In national emergency for the purpose of
dealing with the starving or destitute.
Although the manufacture tit elec
tric light bulbs In Argentina c:i1
onlv six years no, three Bur tin.- A.tex
companies are now jinxhiciiw -VMu.'
000 hulhs yearly for nbout one-third
ec the country total needs.
"It will be argued now quit logically that Harry Hopkins
can hardly admlninter the WPA Job in an unpartlsan way when
he reels so deeply the political currents of the hour aa to
Interest hlmaeir In trying to defeat a Democratic senator who
happens not to have voted with President Roosevelt In his plan
to "pack" the supreme court. Mr. Gillette of Iowa has shown
himself independent of the administration, and that apparently
Is his crime In the eyes of the president.
"It Is said that Harry Hopkins is virtually the No. 1 man
In the Hit of presidential advisers nowadays, but whether he
la No. 1 or No. fl. it Is known he is frequently in conference
with the president and wields considerable influence. The fact
that he Is at close as he is to the president haa led to specula
tion as to whether Mr. Hopkins feeli It his duty to manipulate
the whole relief administration to help Mr, Roosevelt and his
political causes.
"These awrtlons are no longer dlAcussed merely by the
opposing political party.- Within the last 34 hours, Brady M.
Stewart, the campaign manager for Governor Chandler of Ken
tucky, a New Deal governor, who Is running against Senator
Barkley for the senatorial nomination on th Democratic
ticket, has made serious charges which It is hard to see how
congress can overlook. If what Stewart has written In an
open letter to the president Is corroborated by a public Inquiry,
It means that someone might well be removed from office.
Certainly. reAtrtctlons by congress on the "lending-spendlng"
fund to prevent polltUal chicanery has become the paramount
Issue of the hour, now that the Kentucky chargea are in the
open.
"O.n congress Ignore these complaints and can Harry Hop
kin', hlnuell fall to Insist upon a complete Investigation by an
Impartial tribunal of high-minded cltlens to determine Just
hat Is happening not only in Kentucky, but In Pennsylvania
and other state where relief funds are used to get voters to
cast their ballots in a certain way?
"Surely, the very integrity of decent and honest government
Is at stake now All the virtves of the New Deal and Its splen
did aspiration f -r s better national economy sit more thsn
overshadowed by i:,e Ksues that have been raised lu the
charges against the VYTA."

DRUGS AND SENSIBILITY
is v . 1
Tobacco, alcohol, narcotic drugs
and sedative or sense-dulling drugs
are moat likely to produce habit or
addiction In per
sona who are phy
sically or con
sltutlonally in
ferlor to begin
with or who are
OODllitU
tlonally and phy
alcally normal or
even superior yet
thru faulty edu
cation -and envi
ronment are ob
sessed with
inferiority com
plex, a lack of
self-confidence, or a vain pride which
prevents the unhappy victim from
being himself or herself. Under the
Influence of any of the drugs men
tioned the defective's self -conscious
ness Is for the time being in abeyance
or entirely suppressed and he or she
becomes the equal of his or her
associates, so far as his or her aware
ness goes.
The betrayal of the public by the
federal government was shamefully
manifest in the food and druga act
of 1000, which our Congress Comlque
fixed up exactly as the big nostrum
Interests ordered. The present ver
sion of the law is In effect a greater
betrayal of public welfare. The bu
reau or department 'or commission
enforcing the regulations, w t h
tongue In cheek, squanders many
thousands of government money In
prosecuting,- practically persecuting,
some obscure person or firm for a
trivial or technical offence in label
ling, securea a nominal "conviction"
and a fine or 50 or a perfunctory
admonishment from the court, and
everything goes on aa before. But the
foods and drugs division just doesn't
see the glaring defiance of the letter
and spirit of the law and Its own
specific regulations in the naming,
labelling and the vicious claims made
by the sense-dulling drugs which are
so freely sold to the unwary public
under names shrewdly calculated to
deceive and mislead. I refer particu
larly to coaltar derivatives, anllln de
rivatives, drugs of the acetanlltde-
phenacetlne-antlpyrln class. These
drugs, incorporated In scores of
nostrums, sold without even decent
restrictions by the government, are
destructive to health and frequently I
a contributing cause of death, yet the
federal foods and drugs bureau finds
no fault with this big business, being
too busy ferreting out trivial errors or !
technical violations of regulations by
small fry firms' that have no slush
fund to play with and clearly no In
tention to misrepresent or defraud or
harm any one.
The coaltar derivatives, mentioned.
present in countless nostrums pur
porting to be remedies for neuralgia.
neuritis, "colds," headache, grip, that
tired feeling, worry, sleeplessness,
strain, or what have you, unques
tionably benumb the senses so that
while the effects of the dose last you
forget the ache, pain or care. But
such dope NEVER cures any aliment
that may be responslole for ache,
pain or care. It would be compara
tively unobjectionable If the dope
bad no other effect than to dull per
ception, but unfortunately that la
not the case. Acetanllde, phenace
tine or anttpyrln invariably Interferes
with the oxygen-carrying function of
the blood, destroys some red cor
puscles, and so, If used repeatedly or
habitually causes serious damage to
the vital organs and especially Im
pairs Internal respiration or oxygena

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Smoking
For several years I have been trying
to quit smoking.' I could .hold out
as long as three or four days, and
then invariably I gave up the fight
and started In again, because I felt
so terribly down. Last December I
sent for your monograph on Tobacco
Habit, followed your Instructions,
and found It not at all nard to break
off I haven't smoked since and I
don't think I ever shall smoke again.
aoverai or my friends who have bor
rowed the Instructions have succeed
ed as easily aa I did. (Mrs. A.J.W.)
Answer Any slave of tobacco who
would like to be free, may have a
copy of the monograph if he or she
will write and ask for it (no clipping
will suffice) and Inclose a three-cent-stamped
envelope bearing his address.
Physic .
Do-you consider It injurious in any
way for each member of the family to
take a good dose of. salts once a
month? (M. B.)
Answer Well, I wouldn't do so.
That Is a morbid fancy, keeping the
system cleaned out. Every member
of your family should read carefully
the booklet "Constipation Habit and
Colon Hygiene." For a copy send ten
cent coin and a three -cent -stamped

TIM BERLIN E LODGE. Ore., May
28. (AP) Mount Hood claimed its
third victim of the year today when
Milton R. Nel&sn. 16, collapsed and
died within 200 feet of the summit
while attempting to scale the peak.
News of the youth's death was
brought to the lodge by Palmer
Torgerson, who returned ahead of
others members of a rescue party
which left for the peak earlier when
Nelson's party sent bark for help.
Nelson's parents, Dr. and Mrs
Luther T. Nelson. Portland, waited
here through the afternoon for def
inite word as to whether their son
was dead or alive.
The body was brought to the
lodge at about 6 p. m.
Word of the youth'a collapse and
the failure of his companions to re
vive him was brought to the lodge
by Telore E. Abendroth, a member
of the climbing party.
Abendroth said the Nelson boy
dropped suddenly to the snow and
was saved from a possible 1.000-foot
fall by the rope with which the
climbers were tied together.
Three other boys completed the
party.
Roy Varney and Russell Gueffroy
lost their lives earlier this spring
when caught by a blizzard while
attempting to climb the peak.
CZECH FLARE-UP;
10 HUNGARY
LONDON. Eng., May 28. (UP)
The eclipse of Konrad Henleln. Sudo
ten German leader In Czechoslovakia,
and relaxation of German pressure
cn the Czechs were predicted tonight
by authoritative persons here in close
touch with central Europe.
These authorities consider that the
nazis in Sudeten land have suffered
a setback In efforts to achieve full
autonomy ss well as to break up the
Czech-Soviet military alliance and
that Hitler will turn frcm Czecho
slovakia to Hungary.
It Is understood that underground
nazl cells already exist In Hungary.
Penetration there would achieve the
two-fold objective to further the
nazl march toward the Balkans and
give an even tighter plncer-grlp
around Czechoslovakia.
Under te temporary peace plan It
was believed that the Sudetens as
well, as Berlin have agreed to a
patched up arrangement for the
present. Meanwhile they would re
organize their tactics, including
elimination of Henleln as the leader
because he allegedly lost caste both
with his followers and Hitler, in
formed quarters said.

Even the Bllbonlan talent for In
vective recalls the fuehrer. He once
described a Mississippi penitentiary
warden as "the offspring of a hyena
and a mongrel, begotten in a grave
yard at midnight, suckled by a sow
and educated by a damned fool." A
kinsman of the warden's caught up
with him In a Mississippi dsy coach,
and, after a long pursuit, succeeded
in wounding him seriously on the
brow.
Here again, Bilbo showed himself
woryiy of his position as the fuehr
er's friend. The wound was sedu
lously preserved for exhibition to the
people, with the help, some unkind
persons suspected, of occasional ap
plications of water-color paint. It
used to be displayed by Bilbo as proof
that he had "suffered for the poor
people of Mississippi," and in Bll
bonlan perorations It was compared
(onc more the authentic Hitler
note) to the wounds Inflicted by the
crown of thorns."
Perhaps there are days when Hen
Hitler sees the blood on his hands;
when the smoke of burning books
tickles hla nostrils; when the cries of
a people enslaved offend hla ears:
when learning banished, freedom
crushed out and life itself chained to
the purposes of death trouble his
mind.
At these unpleasant times, if the
occur. Herr Hitler has an easy con
solation. He can magic away his un
certainties, forget the murdered thou
sands, and restore his self-trem by
repeating to himself a simple arn
tence. If he murmurs. ' BUN. is for

We dig. we work and
we slave,
Trying to get ahead
and to save.
But just tbe minute we
try to relax,
Along comes Congress with
some new tax,
tf they're trying to redis
tribute my wealth,
They won't have to work
hard and ruin their
health.
If it wasn't for the economy
of my Chevrolet,
I'd have to be walking to
work each day.
