But with "Dear Alben" from the Republican press, that standing Roosevelt victory. My no! any other result For Alben is not only "the Democratic boss in the senate," but he had the "W.P.A. and all the vast system of federal patronage behind him."

IJ0 HUM, so it goesl 11 On one side of the political and light; on the other side everything is darkness and degrada tion.

TR don't mean a defeat for W would not have been far nor deny that as a sporting proposition, "Dear Alben" was the favorite.

Of course it is easy to say "Dear Alben" bought the election with WPA money, just as in the case of his defeat, it would have been easy to say, "Happy" Chandler bought it. (As a matter of fact, both candidates had ample public funds at their disposal, some commentators maintaining, the Governor's war chest, when it came to buying votes outright, was the larger, and his methods far more unscrupulous.) However that may be, the and taking that outcome with other primary results, and we feel there is something encouraging It indicates at least the people as a whole are disposed to disre gard the partisan patter on both sides, discount the "talky talk," and mark their ballots for to give them good government A T least that was ALSO the Ronnntt Clui-lr like "Ilea.. world on fire, but he is also a competent and trustworthy public servant, with a good record of accomplishment and indepen dence in the upper house.

A LL of which is cheering and reassuring.

William Brady, sea El Camlno, Bererly Hills, Calif. BRONCHIAL Chronic bronchitis, tha familiar winter cough of tha aged, follows repeated attacks of acuta bronchitis or develops grad ually In persons who ara subject to heart disease, kidney disease or chronic lung trouble. In any case when acute bronchitis keeps a patient 111 more than two weeks, It Is well to have a careful exami nation made to see what the first diagnosis has missed. The ancients, from Hippocrates to Dr. Osier, believed that the regu larly recurring winter cough of chronic bronchitis was due to the cold and changeable weather. Plenty of doctors today harbor quaint Ideas about It. But we can't accept a theory as sound Just because It Is old. The medical profession ought to be first to acknowledge this. It seems more sensible to believe that one subject to chronic bronclal trouble bronchitis, bronchi ectssts (dilation or ballooning of bronchial tubes), bronchial asthma or emphy sema (ballooning of the air-cells of the lungs from loss of elasticity or resiliency) Is worse during the sea son of artificial heating because (a) the Indoor atmosphere Is so exces sively dried out and (b) the patient gets so little sunshine vitamin D all winter. Anyway this concept has some logic In It, whereas the con cept of the old times had none at all that could satisfy a rational mind. Well knowing that most phy sicians or health authorities still shsre the view of Hippocrates and Osier. I give you my earnest convic tion that dampness, wet feet, sudden change of weather, drafts and cold neither cause acute respiratory dis eases nor predispose to chronic res piratory diseases. Dusts produced by nature and by numerous industries are a factor of acute respiratory diseases, through the minute wounds of the mucous membrane lining the breathing pas sage, which are portals of entry for bacteria, and of chronic respiratory diseases, through constant irritation. If the Individual Is constantly ex posed to the Inhalation of dust. The respiratory disease caused by coal-! dust, stone dust and Iron dust in various occupations Is well known. Textile dusts are less Injurious, but often cause asthma, as do the dust Man About Manhattan By UKORGB rut'KEB NEW YORK I hope Jed Harris doesn't weaken on his decision not to send any second companies of "Our Town" on the road. That would not be fair and proper . Because "Our Town" isn't like any play you ever saw.

Jed says he Isn't even thinking 01 nerond companies. Not now, at leaai, When "Our Town" goes on the road he wants the country to see the same play that New York has been looking st all these weeks and momns. And In making this decision he Is kissing good by to a wad of money It would be a simple task to whip three companies together simultanue- ously. send one south, one tnrougn the centrsl states, and one to the eoajit. The bookings are his. There Is an endless chsln of thesters In every state asking for it. He could make a on irk' turnover, cover the road, and dissolve his compsnles. But you wouldn't really be seeing Our Town." Not reslly. Not unless Prank Craven was there to shuffle out. with a wad of gum In the side of his Jaw, to tell you what it was all about. Not unless Jay Psssett wss there to play Dr. Olbbs. and Martha Scott was the little bride You wouldn't really be having "Our Town" unless Prank Craven's boy. John, was there to play the psrt or George, or Philip Coolldge the choir master, or Tom Row the editor. No. you wouldn't. And so remem ber those names. And when you see the play. If those names aren't In the cast, you ought to wnte Jed Harris a letter. You ought to wTlte him at his office in the Empire Theatre building, on Broadway, New York. And give him thunder. Because that's what he ought to get If he doesn't hold this compsny Intact and send it out on the road, so that when your town sees "Our Town" you'll see the best there is.

Pollen dust, of course, causes hay fever as well as asthma. Air condltlonlng greatly Improves the air In respect to the dust hazard within buildings, but no mask or other device to protect against dust or pollen out of doors Is practical or comfortable for regular use. Per haps the best protection against the dust one Inhales day by day is the normal secretion of mucous by the lining of the breathing passages. This mucous not only guards against germs ' Invading the mucous mem brane, but also entangles grains or dust or pollen and eventually ex trudes them from the body, either by way of the alimentary tract or by direct discharge from the noae. This Is the reason why I advise against the use of sprays or douches or irrigations of the nasal passages as a means of preventing respiratory infection. I believe the normal mu cous secretion is far more efficient than any such "Internal bathln' " for prophylaxis. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Sauer Kraut Argument about the food quality of sauer kraut. (L.

In New York this year I would un hesitatingly choose "Our Town."

Communications Wants Better Salmon Protection To the Editor: Will you please publlsii the fol lowing open letter to the Oregon atete fish and game commission. "Ood pity the sorrows of a poor old hook-bill salmon." That Is what I found on a Western Union tele graph blsnk that I picked up In place of business the other day. I am Inclosing the ssld telegram blank for your Inspection. That piece of yellow paper, and what I have tieard sines for the real sporting class of people that believe In good sports and fair play, put me to thinking. All our game Is well protected by law except our salmon. But the sal mon ah. thera'e the rub. The por salmon has & losing battle from the time he leaves tide water until he turns up his finny toes after spswn Ing at the head of our spawning streams. He not only has to bsttle rapids, fish ladders and other natural obstructions, but he hae to fight fish-nets, gaff-hooks, anag-hooks, rocks, clubs, shovels and gunfire. I have seen salmon pulled from the river wim a snsg-ltne and her eggs ripped from her belly and the carcas hurled bsck Into the river. Yea gods what a slaughter. I have heard that one anagger has taken as many aa 0 salmon In one day and bootlegged them to consumers. The state police are auppoaed to look out for our salmon so I am told, I dont know. But It Is hard to get the state police off the highway, and also hard to get tiie salmon onto the highway. What we need Is some officers stationed at the river all the time during the fishing season, and to close the fishing for salmon af ter August 15. After August 16 the salmon arc no good except to fulfill their mission by spawning. This letter Is not my Idea alone, but ti-.e voice of many honest-to-goodness. redlblooded sportemen. I am but the cat's paw helping to pull the hot chestnuts out of the roaring furnace for we ara all pretty het up over the way the salmon era NOT getting a break.

T the Editor: About July 30. 1938. tha Income tax bureau of the C. 8. national treasury completed Ita survey of the Income tax return for the year 1938. which statea that In 1833 there were 41 per sons whose snnual Incomes were a million or more dollars eaoi and by 1039 the number of persona dramnru such Incomes had Increased to 61. 1 In 1833 there was one personal In come of more than four million dol lars year; by 163S the number hi Increased to four with Incomes In ex cm of four million dollars. In 1035 tehre were two personal In- , comes of between two million and , three million dollars and by Its tha number of persona drawing such ln comea had Increased to 14. All of wtilch means that these three millions war taken from the pur chasing power of the workers; th rut majority and handed to a speck minority already over supplied wltl. wealth. Tiieae hard, rocky facta ought to make some Impression In a time when wa witness widespread distress: 12 million workers out of Jobs and 39 million persona living un relief. Tet I saw nothing In your paper, nor in any other dally I tare read, concerning the report of the Income tax bureau: which also states that SS million dollars was the total net In come of 61 persons that had more than one million dollars a year each. It seems that such facta atiould ba worth some press comment at leaat. Why the silence or the secrecy? Tour editorial of Sunday, Aug. T, last: "Let There Be Light" and tta Introductory line "Lord what fools these mortals be I" has prompted me to writ thla. notwithstanding It probably will do no good other than to help fill your waste basket.

His oratory la In the best southern colonel tradition, grandllo. quent to the point of bombast. And bis voice, while Husky, could make Itself heard through a tornado. His political principles are simple In the extreme. He Is for louthern womanhood and twenty-cent cotton, and against the antl-lynchlng bill. On this last topic, his remarks are so highly colored mat the other southern senators always do their best to keep him from taking part In the annual filibuster against the measure. The trouble Is tbat Cotton Ed doesn't restrict himself to a tact ful discussion of states' rights: he cornea right out snd defends lynch ing aa a splendid Institution of the glorious southland. His senatorial actlvltlea are chief ly limited to presiding over the ag riculture committee, which Is one of the strangest of all the subordinate bodies of the senate. In this work, Cotton Ed has been much advised by Robert Harris, a minor cotton brok er. Another of Cotton Ed's advisers used to be the roly-poly little lobby ist and washlngotn representative of the Rev. Father Coughlln.
