Ah Hal Now what doea th M.-T. ban to .ay about IU h.ro?

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.

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. Be
tween the agea
of 10 and 14 the

come overwelgh
ed because of ei

"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

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

make It more puzzling.

"Therapy" Is ditto Je luxe for treni
ment. "... the postural faults require
mechanical correction. Permanent

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. Prom ;he
study of nutrition we know now
that an adequate da.ly ration of sun
shine vitamin D Is essential for trie
assimilation and utilization or re
tention of calcium and phosphorus

In the body. 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. It can do no harm tr.
any case where there Is muscular,
ligamentous or bony weakness or
postural fatigue.

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.

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.

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.

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.
