No Runs, No Hits, One Error Ah Hal Now what doea th M.-T. ban to .ay about IU h.ro? . but Spring It urged all Republican to ntr th Democratic prlmarle and auura Martin' nomination, and now th. prl dent of the United Statu, not only frown on uch action but declare It I politically IMMORAL. Do th M.-T. agre th President la right and It la wrong, or la It vlca waaJ With bated breath we await th editorial reply." The above ii a fair example of some of the' reactions received, written and verbal, to President Roosevelt' recent statement concerning the defeat of Senator Pope of Idaho. Ho hum! it is only another example of the human ten dency, frequently commented upon in this column, to get one's wires crossed when political matters are concerned. It would be interesting to know how many readers of this paper DID take the President's declaration regarding the Idaho primary to be a repudiation of the policy of this paper, for judging by the comments received there are a goodly number. . . YET, one may search in vain through the files of this paper and find any editorial suggestion, much LESS request, that Oregon Republicans register as Democrats so they might vote for Governor Martin in the -primary, or any statement that could be CONSTRUED as favoring that procedure. The fact of the matter is, the Mail Tribune was asked by certain influential citizens in the Martin camp to do that very thing, and after considering all angles of the proposal, decided against it, We felt so strongly about the Governor that theoret ically we did favor anything that could be done (lawfully), to insure his renomination. But when it came down to cases, we did not wish to put the paper on record as opposed to the principle of the party primary, or ask others to do, what we decided, as far as we personally were concerned was not exactly cricket and therefore should not be done, i.e. be nominally a Democrat merely for the Primary, and then return later on, to the Republican fold. QO while we dislike to disappoint our expectant friends, whet ting their whistles for a good horse laugh, we can only assure thtm that in this particular case, they are mistaken. this column DID advocate during the primary, one of the few newspapers in the state that did so, was to urge Republicans to write in the name of General Martin as their preference for their OWN party nomination. This we grant now was a mistake, but at the time we believed it POSSIBLE the Governor could receive the nomination of both parties, or even if he failed as far as the Republican party was concerned, the total bi-party vote would justify his running as an independent, in the Fall. This, we grant, did not show the proper respect for PARTI SANSHIP, in fact we have none, but it did show that while we have no uso for parties per se, we do believe in the Primary system, and that only bona fide members of a party should participate in the party primary. If we understand President Roosevelt's view of tho situation in Idaho this is also his position. The "Kiss of Death " WE are surprised to note an enthusiastic Republican con temporary, rejoicing in the fact that the Republicans of Georgia, have been directed by their national committeeman, one James W. Arnold, to abandon their primary and vote in the Democratic primary September 14th. The object being to secure the nomination of Senator George over President Roose velt's opposition. Well now, isn't that just dandy I But if our G. 0. P. mouthpiece up state, only knew as much about the political psychology of the solid south, as it does of old fashioned machine politics, there would be no rejoicing over this development, in fact quite the contrary. FOR if anything CAN defeat George in Georgia, the blessing of the Black Republican organization in that state will do it. In fact this column wouldn't be surprised to learn that this endorsement of George by the G. O. P. machine, was engineered by someone not far removed from the fine Italian hands of Jim Farley and Foxy Charley. For if there is anything the average Georgian hates worse than a buck nigger full of washboiler gin, it is a blankety-blank Republican. Up to this pronouncement Senator George no doubt had all the best of it, but unless he can somehow repudiate this Repub lican blessing, it will prove to be his political "kiss of death" indeed' A Good Time To Start IT won't be long now. In a few weeks the bi-annual medicine dance will begin, and the tom-tom beating, will start. The bally-hoo boys will mount their gaily decorated ros trums, flap the painted canvas behind them, point out the good points of their offerings and close on the same old note "vote the party ticket STRAIGHT !" And as usual some will follow this advice, and others won't. These "others" will look over both shows before they decide which one to patronize, and they not the blind followers, as usual will decide the result. IT therefore isn't too early to drop a hint to these "others," -these independent voters, who don't care much about what party label a candidate may wear, but care a great deal about his character and his competence. Here it im appoint yourself now a committee of one to look up the records of the various candidates, get all the facts con cerning them you can, and decide which one is best qualified to give you good service and good government. Keep your eyes and ears open, don't take anyone else's word, find out lor YOURSELF. TPHK people of southern Oregon should be particularly willing to do this for they have learned by sad experience how tragic and disastrous may be the results, of public indifference the disposition to vote for the loudest talker or the most incom petent table-thumper, or the most shameless demagogue, ami then, when the mischief has been done, wake up, but wake up TOO LATLt After all where stnte and local offices are concerned, nation al issues have no pln.-e. The sole question is how well fitted by training and character is the nam for the job.

William Brady, Z65 El Camlno, uererly Hills, Calif. UNCONSIDERED FCTOR Or DEFORMITY In a contribution to Archives nf Pediatrics (hygiene and diseases of children (an orthopedic surgeon (one who treats deformities, more par ticularly de formities Involv ing bones ot Joints) says: "A tendency to pa valgus (flat foot) may be found In later childhood.

"Endocrine dlstur Dances' one of those ten dollar phrases used by doctors when we have no definite notion what we're talking about. Endocrine ts a fancy term for the Internal secretion uf a gland such as thyroid, adrenal. , pituitary. In sulin, etc. The crthopedlst cou tlnues: "... Muscular and ligamentous weakness Is frequently associated with It. giving rise to pronated feet. . . . ' "Pronated feet" weak ankles, ankles roll Inward hen child stands or walks; Inner borders of soles and heels wear down first. . . . During this period the child may grow too rapidly, leaving the supporting structures deficient. Pos tural defects will soon become ob vious round shoulders, curved spines and. naturolly, pronated an kles. While the endocrine balance. The "balance" s thrown In to make It more puzzling. "... calls for general therapy ' "Therapy" Is ditto Je luxe for treni ment. "... the postural faults require mechanical correction. Permanent malformation may result If thy remain overlooked or untreated." That functional Insufficiency n the part of ductless glands, espe cially the parathyroid glands, oc curs In such growing children, Is quite conceivable. But why does It occur? Surely not because the chil dren are growing or growing too fast. I do not flatter myself that I know the answer, hut I believe thrc underlying, generally unconsidered factor of these fauJta of development or potential deformities,- pronated or weak feet, flat-foot, knock-kne? bowlegs, spinal curvature, round shoulders Is nutritional deficiency. I believe the shortage of calcium and phosphorus tn the Intake is mainly responsible for these physical defects or deformities.

From scientific obser- vatlons upon school children In Eng land, we have evidence that the greatest demand for calcium and phosphorus comes In the period from 10 to 18 years, and it Is precisely during this period of growth that children show the greatest amount of dental carles, cavities, decay of teeth. . The correction ul any ot thsc developmental faults or potential de formities requires carefully super vised exercises and individually adapt ed' mechanical a para t us. and thvse can be effectively prescribed and applied only by the physician who treats such cases. But In all cases the value of an optimal dally ration of sunshine vitamin D Is funda mental, both as preventive and as corrective.

Communications The Power Behind F.D.R.t j To the editor: Democracy In Its various forms, Is widely regarded as the Ideal type of government. But some of Its loudest advocates are very poor samples of It. "By their fruits ye shall know j them." j Communistic Russia dellghU to pose as a democracy, and to cousin j with all free democracies, for that ' freedom means, to her, a free hand to spread her propaganda. She hates the other dictatorships, for there, her propaganda Is sternly suppressed. Her boast Is. that Sovletlsm Is the rule of the proletariat (the peasant or humble toller). But where on this earth Is there a land where the pro letariat has LESS to say in governing than In Russia? It la a despotic oligarchy, which holds the proletariat In complete subjection. In Russia wc see the spirit of the NRA developed and matured where none dare hinder. All the legislation of Ktissta ts "must" legislation, Germany and Italy are as yet. but pale Imitations of Rus sia. American democracy Is facing a new menace. All this ,'must" legts latlon handed to congress during the last five years; these presidential at tempts to drive out of congress all those who oppose his will: these at tempts to pack and transform the supreme court and subjugate It to his will, so that both congress and the court shall be auiwervlent to the Win to House, are but the ordered steps of a deliberate clan to destroy the American system of a balanced lo'.ernment with Its three equal, in dependent, branches. CERTIGRADE CEDAR SHINGLES AT DIG PINES LUMBER CO. PHONE 1. 6TH AND FIR This writer has never accused PJ5.R. of originating that plan, nor believed him capable of so doing; but has regarded him as the willing and very useful tool In the hands of that "power behind" thwt did or iginate the plan, and that originates similar plans In practically every country In the world, whereby real democracy Is first denatured, then overthrown. Most of us had believed that this country waa Immune to all such political poisons. But during the last six years America baa dem onstrated that It Is not Immune! As to the president and the state primaries. If Chief Justice Hughes were to come down to the lower courts and tell the Juries how he wished them to decide certain cases, those cases In which be had a per sonal Interest, we would say that It was all out of place, undignified, bellttlelng to his high office, and helped to overthrow the very foun dations of the Jury system. And fe this writer It seems Just as out of place, as undignified, as bellttlelng to his high office, when the presi dent comes down to the state pri maries and tells the voters whom he wants nominated. It helps to de stroy our primary system. Yes It helps to destroy our American sys tem. EDWIN DEACON. Talent, Ore., Aug. 24, 1938. He Gets the Vibrations, To the Editor; In your editorial of this evening you ask sundry specific questions. (1) "Does anyone seriously think that when thla primary election Is held In September, the members of the Democratic party In Georgia will go to the polls and vote for the can didate they DON'T want, merely be cause the President of the United States said he wanted them to?" Yes, Mr. Editor, that Is Just what they would do. It Is possible that there may be a preponderance of people who do nor. agree with the president, but nevertheless, these peo ple will blindly go to the polls and vote for what he says. We, the people, are mentally LAZY, and It makes me laugh when I am told that this GOVERNMENT IS BY THE PEOPLE, OP THE PEOPLE and for the people, because the politicians see that It Is. and In the seeing, they take care that they re "THE PEOPLE." Who ever heard of an electorae going out Into the highways -and byways, and lookln; for a candidate that they want? No, slrl Such a thing would not suit the PEOPLE; they prefer the politicians to come to them and tell them to vote for them. AND THEY DO JUST THAT, the ones that can promise the most get there. Because, in answering your ques tion. WHAT ARE "WE" ANYWAY. I would say, by and large, that we arc no better than so much white trash, crooked, corruptible Indolent, and mentally lazy, and if it were not so our good president would not be able to do the things he Is doing. I have heard you shed bitter tears over our good Governor Martin's de feat. Let me tell you that you As tonish me. If you really do not know the reason. It Is so simple that you must be like the "ostrich with your head In the sand." Any WPA worker can tell you why he was defeated, and If you do not really know, here is the answer: The emis saries of the government have bem circulating amongst the WPA work ers with propaganda, and I was told yesterday how these men work. But I would suggest that you investigate for yourself. Now do not get the Impressl-in that I am this or that or the other, because that will be a mistake, but put your ear to the gi ound an 1 you will get the vibrations. But there Is one little sunspot In the horizon, a change is coming for the better, when we will risa up In our might, and when the new generation of thinkers arrives, this will be the greatest NATION on earth, but first we must learn by experience. W. B. CRAUSE. Medford, August 24. The Capital Parade (Continued from Page One ) er of the new deal's liberal wing, and a close adviser of the pres'uent. Effective work for Lewis had al ready been done In Maryland, botn by the men named and by two ab sent purgers. Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles, who Is now on vaca tion, and William Stanley, a Mary land friend of the president, once in the Justice department, now a free lance politician. Yet the little group canvassed the Maryland situation somewhat gloomily. There were three main problems before the meeting how to con struct a pro-Lewis organ I ration: where to get funds for the Lewis campaign; what to do about the fed eral office-holders. The meeting found It difficult to solve these prob lems for Maryland for the same rea sons that similar meetings have founa it difficult to solve them for Oeor gla. or South Carolina, or Represen tative John J. O'Connor's district in New York. Although the purgers have nsa promises from ame Maryland lead ers, like Mayor Jackson of Balti more, they arc lamentAbly iaklng tn organization In most parts of the state. Witbout any very clear notion of how to do It, they decided to try to get five or six Influential men to act as Lewis managers In each Mary land county. Much has been made of the use n the new deal's spending program lu the purge, but actually the purgers are as short of campaign funds a? they are weak in organization. Sen ator Tydlngs, Senator George and the other purgees have received huge contributions from business men both in and out of their states. But the new deal candidates can't get a cent from the Democratic party's usual fat cats, and can hardly draw on tbe federal treasury to pay their cam paign workers. The meeting frantic ally picked over the short (1st of rich men really friendly to the president, and once more decided to do their best. Much has also been made of the use of federal officials as officers in tbe purgers' army. But. as In Georgia and South Carolina, the Maryland federal Job -holders are worse than no use at all. Almost without exception, they are appointees of Senator Tyd lngs. or of Senator George L. Rad cllffe, his campaign manager. They are therefore backing Tydlngs. Even the Maryland WPA has been unre sponsive to N lies' urglngs. As a lesson to tbe other federal job-holders, the meeting discussed tossing out Maryland's U. S. attor ney, Bernard Plynn, and D. 8. mar shal, August KlecVa. "Joth are ardent and public Tydlngs supporters and could be dismissed tomorrow. Yet the purgers, worried by the prospect of uproar, postponed their decisions. So far, both Klecka and Plynn are still on the payroll. The truth la that the common pic ture of the purge, of a federal Jug gernaut rolling onward to crush In nocent Independents, Is so much poppycock. The money, the organiza tion, and the patronage are all nn the purgees side. The purgers' only hope Is the masses' affection for the new deal. Comment on the Days News By FRANK JENKINS TAKE a look at Europe torn with hate and discord, and seemingly moving each day nearer to th catas trophe of a general war. If Europe become Involved In an other general war, BANKRUPTCY will follow. SO much for the Europe that Is. Let us now take a look at the Europe that MIGHT BE. If the peoples of the old world would forget their hate and fears and settle down to PRODUCING THINGS and aelllng these things to each other regarding each other as prospectlvo CUSTOMERS and not as enemies prosperity and a higher scale of living would soon replace Impending bankruptcy. HISTORY makes that plain. It has been during the all too rare In tervals of peace that Europe's civili zation haa been built. And all too often, after such an Interval, WAR ha pushed Europe back Into near barbarism. OinE th world began, clvlllza- those periods when people have work ed and produced and got along hap pily with each other and has SLIPPED BACK during periods ot hatred and suspicion and strife. POLITICALLY, in this country, we're passing through an era In I which the man who ha less Is taught to suspect and even to hate ' tbe man who haa more. I It hasn't brought us much so far but grief, and It NEVER WILL bring u much but grief. Civilization ad vance when people get along to gether and build each other up, and SLIPS BACKWARD when people tight and tear each other down. Europe's history prove that fact dramatically.
