The Speaker ot the House of Rep lesentatlves. Into whose orllce John L. Lewis, high ace of the OJ.O. and Idea, strode In high dudgeon, to demand passage of his own "must legislation," wasted considerable wordage on the Intruders. The Speaker addressed 28 words at Mr. Lewis In spurning his demand for a blacklist measure, when four em phatic words, delivered In an un torrlfied manner, would have per formed a neater Job. It Is reported moves are afoot to "appease tne labor chieftain." This should not be any problem, In the quelling of future raids on public officials, by the gent. There Is alack In the seat of Mr. Lewis trousers, and room at his coat collar for a hand-hold. A speaker at the annual conven tion tn Oakland, Calif of the United 8tatea Junior Chambers of Commerce, unveiled a clue to what alls America. He said: "We In this country no longer believe In Ood We no longer believe In our coun try. We have no faith In our leaders nor in our reiiow-man." Republican leadera have called upon all true sons of freedom to rally around the party standards. and adhere thereto unflinchingly, until the last vote Is counted next November. ....

Haying has kept msny farmers Isolated at home for one whole week. s Two more service stations have arisen on the main speedwav. south Besides tanks, they will a iong felt want. An Oregon representative In Con gress, after the adjournment of that august body, placed a sign on the door, resdlng: "Back next January." Hopefullneaa Is displayed. In the face of the chance, voters may make ciner arrangement. Welcome Editors A S far as it is possible, we try to avoid the obvious. - But with the opening of the annual convention of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers' Association, in this city today, some sort of a greeting is indicated, and for the. life of us, we can think of nothing fresh, or original to say, nothing in fact that hasn't been said innumerable times before. . We ARE delighted and everyone in Medford IS delighted to have the pleasure and the honor of entertaining the news paper publishers of this state, and we are voicing the sentiments of the entire community when we sincerely hope they will enjoy a pleasant and profitable session. That's true enough, but it isn't exactly NEWS. . .... if 'T'HE newspaper profession, has always been an extremely important profession, (these powerful molders of public opinion) but with this country and the world in the present state of dissension and unrest, it is far more important TODAY than ever before. For the great need of the hour is popular enlightenment, a knowledge of what the true situation is and what should be done about it, the facts, the truth and through no medium can this be achieved so certainly and effectively, as through an honest and impartial press. That's also true,, but we are quite sure our distinguished visitors through their gatherings since the world, war, have heard something like that before, not once but more likely, a dozen times. . 7 THEN there's the convivial note, when one might hark back to Lord Byron, and proclaim to our fellow scribes: "On with the dance I Let Joy ba uncontlned: No aleep till morn when youth and pleasure meet To chase the glowing hours with flying feet." Etc., eto. .Striking such a note might not be termed obvious, for the punch and novelty of the oonvivial life has steadily declined since the repeal of prohibition. But It is superfluous. For we are quite aware that newspaper conventions are not unlike other conventions, startling as it may seem, editors and editoresses are merely human after all. They have their departments for high jinks and play, and their departments for hard work and earnest endeavor, as do all other organizations of the kind, and it's well they do. "For all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," and if "Jack" happens to be a newspaper man, he will find dullness (or the reputation for it) extremely expensive. . .. THEREFORE urging our guests to have a good time, comes nnrW thn henrlinc of what the late President Woodrow Wilson liked to term "supererogation". . For they are going to have a good time anyway they always do, some will find it in one direction, and some in another, as is common with all organizations, made up of normal and able bodied human beings. So nothing that may be said in this column, at this late hour, is going to affect that factor, one way or the other. SO we might go on indicating what can t be done, aa far as avoiding the obvious and the hackneyed is' concerned. But WHY avoid themt ......... - ; After all platitudes are platitudes, because they are true, and because their truths have been generally accepted by the human race. And so instead of ending this "welcome on a new note, we Shall end it on a very old one, as follows:; ' . "As the boya and girls of Oregon newspaperdom depart, . f. ' Medford rises to announce, that the people of this community have entertained many conventions, but never a gathering so . attractive, Interesting and congenial as the one now closing. It la to be hoped Medford will not have to wait another decade . before It has the pleasure of playing host to the editors of the : ststa again." That is a quotation from this paper the last time the editors of the state gathered here, -some 20 odd years agbl We hope we won't have to wait another 20 years before having the pleasure of again entertnining them.

SIMPLE REMEDIES FOR OZENA 1 alV I :W A foul discharge coming from- one side of the noee suggests the poecl blllty of a foreign body lodged In the nose, especially In the case - of ' an 1 n f a n t young child. But In some instances It Is a manifes tation - of dsaj. aipmneria - w castonally such foreign body is animate an ln- s e c t. Intestinal .worm, even the develoDlne larva x of a fl; (mag got) and tne most serious, even fstsi symptoms are produced by the presence of an animate foreign body in the nose. The importance of a careful examination, by the aid of headlight, speculum and other in struments used by physicians equip ped to deal with nose snd throst con ditions. Is obvious. The laity has been oversold on specialism. A com petent general practitioner or family doctor can diagnose and treat all of these everyday noee end throat con ditions as well ss sny what-have-you specialist can. After all, Mrs. White- collarman and Mrs. Executive merely betray their cheap snobbery In run ning to the specialist every time the baby well; whenever a word of med ical advice Is needed. That sort of thing may have Impressed her neigh bors In the days when bloomers were news: today it Is as distinctive as lipstick. Atrophic rhinitis ('dry catarrh"). the usual cause of ozena (foul odor) calls for painstaking cleansing of the nasal passages dally, as already de scribed. tThls Is the best way to check or control the foul odor from such condition. Aside from the cleansing, or .fol lowing such cleansing of the affected mucous membrane, bne or' another of the simple remedies here sug gested may be used with advantage. First, when the nose Is quite clear and as free from secretion as pos sible, spply some precipitated sulphur by means of an Insufflator or powder blower. One application of the pow dered sulphur each alternate day is sufficient, and It may be continued for several weeks. This Is helpful not only in simple chronic rhinitis but also In atrophic rhinitis, with or wtthout ozens. . . Second, following the cleansing of the nasal passages, apply a suitable oil to soothe and protect the mucous I membranes. ' For this purpose It Is better to avoid the mineral oil prep arations (petrolstum, paraffin oil) so often used In nasal sprays, drops. In halants, neubullzers. One good agent for the purpose Is a solution of lodin In sesame oil one grain of lodin to the ounce of oil. Another Is com mon kerosene. If common kerosene oil seems repugnant, a purified or nearly deodorized preparation of It may be obtained from the druggist. Most agreeable to use and perhaps most effective remedlally Is a blond oily solution containing menthol phenyl salicylate and vitamin D In combination. A few drops of either of these oils may be put In each nostril night and morning, or any of them may be applied by means of a neubu lleer. . Many victims of chronic "dry ca tarrh" have . experienced much bene fit from applying once or twice daily, by means of a sprsy, a warm solu tion of a rounded tesspoonful of cane sugar. In two fluid ounces ol water (about one-fourth of a glassful). problem. All those not serving some special Interest were unanimous on the need for a basic reorganisation and coordination program. Yet, In spite of this unanimity, congress did nothing. One almost suspects that In leaving the railroad problem up to congress, the president rather wicked ly Intended to dramatise the Im potence of the legtalatlve branch. Now that , the 77th congress Is over, tha most striking trait, as one looks bsek over Its achievements, was this complete Impotence to act. It could oppose. ' It did oppose the president in remarkable and dramatic fashlnn on the court bill, and It succumbed to the hysteria, over the reorganisa tion bill. But, whenever It - was necessary to cope with a vital problem In positive fashion, the congress always waited stolidly for the president f. speak. And then. If he did spesk. congress lumbered glumly In the indicated di rection. For this phenomenon, there are two reasons the habit of the earlier New Deal years, snd the presi dential power of the purse. The most interesting thing about the fall elec tions is that they will determine whether the phenomenon of congres sional Impotence Is to become permanent. QUESTIONS AM ANSWERS Eges is Eggs.

An American Plebiscite THE recent plebiscite conducted by Mayor William E. Cage nf Wnhnrn. Mars.. unn an fair thnt. it. in recommended to Adolf Hitler and all other political dictators, foreign or native. It didn't cost the city anything. The only expense involved, the printing and distribution of ballots, was paid for by volun tary contributions of local patriots. It was an unofficial election, but the mayor regards it as binding on him, and hopes the oity council and school committee will likewise bow to the will of the people. , His first plank was reduction of unnecessary publio em ployees, in which he was upheld. His second plank was a plan to reform tippling citizens by hauling them around town in cage until thev are sobered, when arrested tor inebriation. He had the cage already built at a cost of $300. The people turned that down. His honor is regretful about that, but bears no ill will. Really this plebiscite idea isn't half bad. It might end troublesome disputes in many a community. R. S. .

The goings-on previous to the con cluding crisis were Just as ludicrous and confusing. Nobody knew where the president stood.

Senator Rob ert F. Wagner of New York and Ma jority Leader Alben Berkley confront ed one another, one proclaiming thst the president wanted railroad legis lation, the other swearing that he dldnt. And, when they telephoned the White House to settle their dis pute, the president cheerfully ex plained he -was prepared to leave the whole matter to "the wisdom of con gress.' And so It went. But the point is not thst the vice president wickedly knifed the rail roads, or that the president was more than usually mysterious sbout hi intentions, or thst the senators and representatives were more than usu ally chuckle-headed, or that the rail road unions were more thin usually obstinate.
