Politicians, All the Same A S close observers of this column know, we Veep pretty close tab on William Allen White and his Emporia Gazette. We read many other staunch Republican papers, but his, that is his editorials, are the only ones ws really enjoy. Because, in the first place they always have charm, some thing the common garden variety of Q.O.P. editorial offerings notoriously lack. In the second place they have mellow wis dom and a shrewd insight into human nature. In the third place, and most important of all, they are invariably fair, tolerant, which is only another way of saying they are INTELLIGENT. WE seldom agree with William Allen White politically these days, for he is, and in spite of many temptationa has always been, a staunch supporter of the Republican ticket what ever it may be. Between elections he has some lucid intervals so to speak, but when the time for voting comes around, he can always be depended upon to be in his accustomed place on the firing line, and do his stuff. In fact in a presidential year, lie usually writes a good share of the Republican platform. Obviously it is pretty hard for a newspaper man in such a position he hag also been a member of the national Republican committee from time to time to be anything but 100 regular, particularly as square a shooter as Mr. White, for to accept favors from a party and not grant them, would not be in his line. DUT as above stated while Mr. White is always loyal to his party when election day comes around, he is never PARTISAN, in the sense of being bigoted and extreme, lie never loses his sense of humor and even more important he never loses his head. We don't monn there is anything anemic about "Bill", he in as red blooded and robust in his language, when there is some occasion to be, as any journalistic heavyweight in the country. But you never find him, as so many of the Republican editorial stuffed-shirts are found, losing his temper, getting red in the face, and figuratively speaking throwing a case of type at the opposition because he can find no. other medium of expression that at the moment, satisfies his visceral yearningR. YES, Bill always keeps his head, and he always uses it. We were struck by this truth, when a few moments ago we looked over his "Weekly" which comes to our .desk every Monday morning. The, leading editorial is on a very timely subject, too much politics in government, too much politics in relief, too many two-by-four politicians it. the public trough, swilling theirs, while the swilling is good, not enough of them on their jobs giving decent service, etc., eto. Not exactly a new theme, but one particularly pertinent at the present time, with the government taking a direct and more active part in the people's affairs than ever before in history. But instead of laying all the blame on Roosevelt, and indulg ing in an apoplectic fit over what this country is coming to as a result of "such a person" being in the White House; W. A. W. pulls in his cditoriul horses from a wild gallop to an orderly trot at that point and expresses a great and eternal truth, for all and sundry to ponder over. Here it is: i If the Republicans had come Into power suddenly with all this opportunity for political monkey-doodling that has been offered by the swift extension of government In the last two years, with all the new gadgets and fixings that have been added by eoclal security, state assistance to the aged, the REPUBLICANS MIGHT HAVE BEEN JUST AS BAD." Aye verily, how well every sane observer of the political scene appreciates that fact I Politics, polities! the country is pretty much aroused at the moment, over what the present administration is doing, to the "land of the free and the home of the brave,"' and the "outs" as usual are viewing not only with alarm but with horror, what the final reckoning will be. Just let them in and see the transformation, no more waste, no more political relief, no more class legislation, no more corruption, no more regimenta tion, no more ANYTHING but sweetness and purity and light, How true it is the "outs" are always virtuous, because they never have to perform I But once let them in, as this column predicts they will be, two years hence and then what shall we seet Shades of Gaston Means and Teapot Dome I The shoe will be on the other foot then for certain. For William Allen White refuses to forget another thing, that the fundamental principles of the New Deal, as far as social security and government control of human affairs are concerned, whether we like them or don't, are here to stay! When the donkey gets through, Old Jumbo will have to try his hand, at the same game I Looking Foreward A ND while this column with certain exceptions, has been pretty strongly pro-Roosevelt, for five years and may be two years hence we expect to greet a Republican victory in 1940 with a certain feeling of relief and expectation. For we anticipate many things whioh are uncertain and cloudy at the present time, will be clear-cut and obvious to all, after the Republicans have had the responsibility of running the government, for a reasonable length of time. Unless we are greatly mistaken some of the country's most violent Roosevelt-haters are going to be far more tolerant and even appreciative, when by this transfer of responsibility, a decent perspective is obtained. They will then perceive, many things they blamed F. D. R. for, not ho but certain elemental forces of a destructive nature, were responsible for. They will also observe, that while the present administration has been pretty hard boiled and cynical, when the matter of getting the votes has been concerned, that another party with another name, will be no less eager to adopt ANT vote-getting technique, that promises to keep that party in power. In other words, they will find, that politicians and party leaders resardless of their label, once in power, are pretty much the same, as far as practical politics is concerned. We don't say the ex-members of ths Liberty League, will even then, love Roosevelt any more. hut we do predict, they will he los itu'liniil to believe, that even a President of their 0n chot'sing will eer grow wings 1 Personal Health Service By William Signed letters pertaining to personal health snd bjilene, not to disease diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady It stsmped sett addressed envelope Is enclosed.

William Brady, siea El Camlno, Ueverly Hills, Call!. A WORD TO THE PROSPECTIVE In the gay nineties and the first decade in this century Ignorance of human physiology and anatomy and hygiene waa so general that It amounted to an affection among the smart set. A facetious allus ion to "In'arda" or the dia phragm" covered any possible con v e r s tlonsl or literary require ment and no one but a, doc tor waa vulgar enough to be any mors speclllc. This quaint sttltude of the lntelleo tusl snobs accounts for the role oom monly assigned the prospective fa ther, If he Is the kind they can push around. The average prospective father Is or should be too well Informed to as sume the role of boob, sap or stooge In the birth of his baby. That sort of thing may have been convention al and proper back In the daya before Wasserman blood testa for syphilis and bacteriological tests for gonor rhea. Today a few states already re quire persons seeking a license to marry to furnish reasonable evidence that they are not syphilitic; before long they will be required to furnish reasonable evidence that they are not atfected with gonorrhea. The time for boggling at these vltRl questions la now past. Likewise the prospec tive father who la not actually a metal defective can no longer play stooge at the birth of hla own baby. Not Just yet. perhaps, but In ths near future It Is going to be the con ventional practice to have the pros pective father In there where he be longs beside hla wife during the de livery of the baby. That ta ono good result we may expect from the exhi bition of the film. "The Birth of a Baby." Even the showing of tha; In structive film aroused some criti cism, but nevertheless it Is certain that the attitude of the general pub llo Is healthier now than It waa ten or twenty years ago. Then, for exam ple,! dared not mention In my col umn subjects on which I now write csndldly. but request cf odltors who are. of course, guided by the views and oplnlona ot representative resd ers.

Obsessions and supei stltlons harass her. Tsles of disas trous occurrences whispered In ber esr by gossips add to her burden needless anxiety. If she knew merely elementary embryology she could an ticipate with tranquility and Joy the greatest mlrscle of life, the birth of her baby. "Embryology Is the study of the development of the human body from conception to birth. It should be taught In grammsr school to ev ery boy and girl, along with physio logy and the care and feeding of in fants. Such knowledge would conduce, to better health and greater happi ness for every father, mother and child." So I urge the young proapectlve father to learn all he can about those things along with his wife, so that when the time comes he need not assume the humiliating role of stooge In the greatest miracle of life.

Communications They Walked to Crater Mfce To the Editor: Yesterday in the Oregon Journal appeared an Item In their, "In Ear lier Days," column regarding a walk ing trip to Crater lake 30 years ago A party of ten, of which the writer was a member, started at Med ford for Crater lake, then to Klamath Falls and back to Ashland. While at Med ford we were taken on a tour of the surrounding country by the Med flrd Commercial Club, a most en joyable and much appreciated sight seeing trip. The writer did not visit Med ford again until May of this year and what a different and im proved and grown Med ford it la. a lovely city. An old gentleman. I hve forgotten his name, with horses and wagon, carried our provisions and even with horses and wagon, the road to Crater lake was quite diffi cult at places. How different now. This old gentleman ha probably by now passed into tha Great Beyond, but he had with him his son and should he read this letter the writer should be more than pleased to hcai from him. The Klamath Falls and Ashland Commercial Clubs also entertained the party with a sight-seeing tour. r. C. JOHANNSEN Lebanon. Oregon. The Rcxall Store Aug. 37.

Prin ciples don't enter Into his picture of the ideal Democratic party. He only hopes for a party which has a bigger organization and can give a bigger licking to the Republicans at each election. The president, on the otner hand, wants the Democratic party to become a unified liberal party, with the principles of the new deal for its platform, and Its platform the most conspicuous thing about It. Thus the disagreements. It can be stated now that the disagreements have not been nearly so serious as they have seemed. The president and Jim. who have a good working ar rangement together, have agreed, as it were, to disagree. Each has gone his own way. Neither has tnterfereo with the other. So far as the president la concern ed, the arrangement has certain ob vious advantages. He and the mem bers of his purge committee o&n fight for their principles until thev get their bellies full.- And then, when it's all over, Jim can step In. help elect the candidates successful In the primary, and smooth out every one's feelings. He has already done this In Iowa. The first man Senator Guy Gillette called on, when he came to Washington after licking the new dealers, was his friend Jim. And Jim was the man who sent htm to lunch at the White House. Now, having embarked on the purge, the president really needs Jim.
