Senator Reames
ADT LUCK is a fickle mistress. A few months ago she was
pulling hard for Southern
our own Evan Reames of 815
On all sides it was conceded, Evan's appointment as the
short term senator by Governor
But no sooner had "A. E." taken his seat in the Upper
House, than Lady Luck deserted him, and has been heeling for
the opposition ever since.
Certainly since Senator Reames took the oath of office, the
lucky breaks have been conspicuous by their absence.
But that's the way it goes. All through life one must take
the bitter with the sweet, the
eventually perhaps they pretty well balance up.
.
THE going has been so tough that on the eve of his departure
from Washington, Oregon's "senator for a day" felt con
strained to state:
"I am glad I am going home, horn, to stay. Being a senator
even for a short time 1. not my Idea of a good thing. X have
pent halt my time In the hospital and the other half keeping
my mouth shut."
Quite true, and both conditions have been extremely un
fortunate. Had that pneumonia bug not butted in, Senator Reames
might have prevented the defeat of Governor Martin; and af
ter his maiden speech concerning the administration's reorgan
ization bill, had he not decided to keep his mouth shut, there
would probably not be the misapprehension concerning that
speech that now exists.
NEEDLESS to say this column can't speak for Senator
Reames in any way, but it is quite plain to us that this
silence has done Oregon's junior senator a real injustice.
For example: The above statement came over the wire dur
ing the convention of the Oregon newspaper editors, and after
reading it, one of them remarked to the present writer:
"Too bad he DIDN'T keep his mouth shut. For the only time
he opened It he put his foot In Itl"
It is hardly necessary to add the speaker was one of the
hardest shelled Republicans, and most violent Roosevelt-haters
in Oregon's "Fourth Estate." Bitterly opposing the President's
reorganization bill, he naturally peeled the hide off any
one who, like Senator Reames favored it.
BUT not only did our friend condemn Medford's senator for
that, he flayed him even more severely for the statement
be made at the time, that if he (Reames) had received a mil
lion telegrams of protest, he would have voted as he did,
(that is according to his convictions as to what was right),
or words to that effect.
This, our Rooseveltphobiac friend maintained, (somewhat
rhetorically) was not only "collosal impudence," but "defiance
of the first principles of democratic government," that a
Senator of the United States, takes an oath to carry out to the
best of his ability, the will of his constituents," etc., etc.
And the overwhelming will of Senator Reames' constituents,
was to defeat tho reorganization measure!
OUT WAS it T
That was where we differed with our editorial friend,
and where Ave regretted, that in the face of such criticism, Sen
ator Reames had chosen to keep his mouth shut.
For there was no way at the
tell WHAT the will of Senator Reames' constituents concern
ing tlie reorganization bill was. At the previous plebiscite, the
measure had not been an issue, and if it had been would un
doubtedly have been overwhelmingly sustained, in the pro
Roosevelt avalanche. And while the Roosevelt opposition
throughout the country was intensely and overwhelmingly
against this measure, and flooded Washington with telegrams
to that effect, how could Senator Reames, or anyone else in
his position tell what tho MAJORITY of his constituents thought
about itt Both Republicans and
vote he couldn't, he could only
AND what is the duty of any representative of the people at
siiph a time and under such circumstances I
In this column's opinion it
popular clamor and organized propaganda on BOTH sides and
to vote according to the dictates of one's own conscience, to
vote for what the individual HIMSELF believes to be just and
right.
This undoubtedly is what Senator Reames did, and instead
of declaring him wrong, this column maintains he was exactly
right 1
i
UT this interpretation of the
Bl
ator Reames declined to
fear considerable misapprehension may exist, concerning the
reason for that speech and that vote. And certainly because of
his silence and illness, there is no

Most of our buildings are over
heated with abnormally dry air in
the winter time. This Is a rhls-
chlevlous combination. It causes ex
cessive evaporation of water from
the sxln and mucous membranes
lining the breathing passages, which
gives rise to a feeling of chilliness.
The feeling of chilliness prompts
those who are much confined in
doors to wear excessive clothing and
to turn on still more heat If pos
sible. The extreme dryness of the
overheated air causes Irritation of
throat, nose, bronchial tubes; Inter
feres with the natural protective
function of the mucous secretion;
predisposes to acute Infections and
to chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, bron
chitis. The natural protective function of
the mucous secreted by healthy mu
cous membranes of nose, throat and
bronchi is two-fold. First, It serves
to entangle dust particles or other
foreign matter that may float In
the air breathed, Including germ
laden particles; second, round cells
given off by the tonsils and adenoid
tissues in the mucus destroy disease
germs Just as do the scavenger cells
(phagocytes) In the blood and tis
sues.
The air In a building nested to
70 degreea P. or higher when the
outside temperature Is below freez
ing Is generally drier than the driest
desert air. In my Judgment this ex
treme dryness of the artificially
heated air throughout the winter I
season, not the cold or dampness of
the outdoor air. Is the chief cause
of chronic rhinitis, chronic pharyn
gnltls, chronic sinusitis, chronic
bronchitis. In a building which Is

Editorial Comment
One's thought ia arrested by the
annual report made to the 36th an
nual convention of the Oregon State
Federation of Labor at Tillamook by
Ben T. Osborne, secretary-treasurer,
It brought to a body of workers
as thoroughly studied a review of
current affairs as could be presented
to any group Intent upon Its own
and the public business.
On a question of policy for organ
ized labor, the report states, "Labor,
like government, can be destroyed
only from within." One way to de
stroy labor is set forth In close con
text. Labor does not approve or
condone the use of physical force to
gain its demands." And "Union rep
resentatives, or members, who confess
to violent acts, or who are convicted
after a fair trial, need not expect,
and they will not receive, the approval
of the labor movement."
Labor's attitude on the governor
ship Is left wide-open by the com
ment, "It la cause for gratification
that both major parties selected men
of ability and Integrity aa nominees
for governor." The senatorshlp was
not mentioned. No affiliation Is sug
gested between labor and what Os
borne calls "the fungus political
growth." the Oregon Commonwealth
federation. There la a claim for a
balance of political power on behalf
of the unions of the A, F. of L. affil
iation, and a promise. "If labor will
use that power Judiciously. It can
decide the contests that are state
wide."
There Is denial that there can be
anything but "unyielding opposition
to C. I. O. and all Its activities"
short of reunion "within the Amer
ican Federation of Labor." But Ben
Osborne finds:
Labor In Oregon may congrat
ulate Itself for Its gains In the
last yesr. Despite the opposition
of certain employing interests
and the ravages of the C. I. O. It
has come through unscathed and
stronger numerically and spirit
ually than It was a yesr ago.
By such a report m that by Ben
Osborne no doubt can be left In the
public mind as to where labor stands

By FRANK JENKINS
npHE 75th congress, which has fin
1 ally adjourned, did a lot of
things and failed to do a lot of
things, but among Its accomplish
ments these probably stand out
above the others: '
1. It appropriated 31 BILLION dol
lars more money than any peace
time congress ever appropriated be
fore. 3. It enacted a wage and hour law
that puts the government more deep
ly than ever into business and INTO
LABOR.
3. It passed a farm bill that tells
the farmers of America what they
can raise and what they can't raise
and that they can sell and what they
can't sell.
YOU may approve this record. You
may disapprove It. But you
should remember this: The time to
register your approval or your dis
approval will be next November,
when all of the members of the
house of representatives and a third
of the members of the senate will
come up for RE-ELECTION.
IF THE men who have mode this
record of the 75th congress are
generally re-elected we may expect
these things:
1. Spending MORE RECKLESSLY
than In the past.
3, Putting the government STILL
DEEPER Into business.
3. Departing more radically from
traditional American ways.
IF. WITH few exceptions, the sena
tors and congressmen who have
voted for these things (and others
of similar purpose are re-elected, It
will be accepted as proof that these
are the things the American people
want, and when the next congress
assembles it will proceed along the
same lines as the congress that has
Just adjourned.
One of the first rules of successful
politics is to give the voters what
they want.

deed, Maloney refused to melt. He
likes Lonergan, who has always re
lied on him very heavily. More im
portant still, he remembers that he,
too Is guilty of Lonergan's crime.
And he reasons that tf opposition
to tha court bill is to become
sentence of political death, he will
be the next victim.
Being a very old hand at Con
nectlcut politics. Attorney General
Cummings must realize on what a
hard task he haa been set. Maloney
Is one of the most Influential men
In the state organization. His re
fusal to yield will mean much. To
date. State Chairman J. Francis
Smith also haa refused to yield
So that the organization's biggest
men are still united. And finally,
Governor Wilbur Cross, who Is not
an organization man. but Is the
most powerful Democrat In Con
necticut, never liked the court bill
and may ba expected to dislike the
effort to destroy Lonergan for op
posing It. '
Thus it seems that the attorney
general's only resort will be to de
tach outlying segments of the state
organization and tr3n reinforce
their revolt with help from the fed
eral machine. It Is understood that
certain local potentates have already
been approached. And word comes
from Connecticut that In at least
one county the WPA foremen are
already marching against Lonergan.
And besides making a rebellion,
the attorney general must find his
candidate. Several men have been
considered, Including Archibald Mc
Neil, the former Democratic national
committeeman, Edward G. Dolan. a
close friend of Postmaster General
James A. Farley. Assistant Attorney
General Brian McMahon, and Rep-
presentatlve Herman Koppleman. No
one man has been settled on, and
more than one has refused to have
anything to do with the business.
Altogether, the sledding has been
pretty tough, and promises to be
tougher.
The curious thing about the pro
ject to destroy Lonergan Is the de
gree of resentment it is said to have
aroused among the Democratic lead
ers. The Connecticut Democrats al
ready have on their hands a major
scandal, involving graft Indictments
of many high officials. The word
that reaches here is that they are
furious at an effort to make things
harder by an exhausting party quar
rel. Strangest of all, the resentment
Is understood to go not only to the
White Houpe, but even to Postmas

Hills, Jewelled hills, yielding up their
treasures
Where amothysts or opals or the
goinen ore is stored,
Whero the creaklnz crane' fnv4.Kt.ln1r
Or the Dlacer Water wrpxt.lnff
Or the burrowed vein's bequestlng
uive tne diligent reward.
Hills, springtime hills, reaching for
the sunrise,
Crimsoned kissed with promise of
the coming day,
Where the blooms of smiling May
erant
To a beauteous summer fragrant
neasing panoramas, vagrant
In an eloquent display.
Hills, summer hills, smiling on a
. harvest
Where Nature's generosity Is timed
and suDervised.
Timed to yield a golden treasure
Guarded from a chance embrasure.
To release a Justly measure.
as man's Intellect devised.
Hills, autumn hills, bathed In rarest
sunshine
Or silhouettes In silver tips from a
moonbeam's die.
Seem to hold communion, tending
From their velvet turrets sending
Radiations upward blending
With the stars across the sky.

Btill planning on taking
that long touring trip,
Bought a new clothes line to
tie up my grip.
Scouring the attic for duds
of all sorts . . .
Take everything along, from
Tuxedo to shorts.
Don't need to worry about
luggage in the way
For we're going "tripping"
in a BIG TRUNK Chev-
rolet!
Know we'll find before we
go very far
We've the pick o' the pack
when it comes to a car!
