(OK rme? t Use usU mount Want Ads Editorial Correspondence PORTLAND, Sept. 14. The take a very high place in our country s history today. But this convention of those who fought it establishes this fact very clearly. it was fought bv the "salt of the earth", tho plain, hard working rank and file, national FIBRE, the BEST people. ..... It has been very interesting and cheering to mix with these veterans and observe them. At breakfast this morning happened to sit with a veteran in his early sixties from Illinois, and that being our native state we found a good deal to talk about. He owns his own farm, south of Dekalb, is a grandfather fourteen times, and raised eight children, all of them living. His han'ds are large and rough and gnarled, his suit is new but probably didn't. cost him over $17, and it fits him about like the skin on an elephant's rear end. In fact he qualifies pretty well as a typical product of H. L. Mencken's despised corn and bible belt. Yet there, we felt, as we talked witn him, is not only a TYPICAL but our best type of American, the same type essentially that not only fought the revolutionary and civil wars, but ha., made simple, hard working, self-reliant men and as honest, as the day is long. We hope this doesn't, sound as though we were going political on our readers. The table-thumping politicians, have bawled about the "dear common people" so often, that one is inclined to be suspicious of the phrase And the theme it repre sents. Which is too bad. For unquestionably our breakfast table friend, belongs to the class that IS "common" as far as being numerous is concerned, but is far from common, as far as character is concerned, particularly as the world is now constituted. And as everyone knows when all is said and done character is the important, and the determining thing. Some of our friendly enemies will be glnd to hear our "vis a vis" was a rock-ribbed, copper-riveted Republican, always has been, always expects to be, but wait a minute before they break out into three rousing cheers! He voted for Roosevelt twice, and thinks in Illinois at least, the Republicans "ain't worth the powder to blow 'em up with" in fact lie is pretty much "regustcd" with both parties and all politicians. (Even so thnt is what he insisted upon calling himself, a rock-ribbed 100 Republican.') We have a pious idea the man from Illinois pretty well represents the political view of mil lions of the American people at the present time. ..... His wife was staying in bed "too many banquets and too much marching about," so he was having his breakfast alone, griddle cakes and sausage washed down with a pot of coffee. Did he like Portland h Say it was the best big town he had ever been in and if lie ever moved from Illinois, Oregon is where he would come. Doesn't care so much for California, spent one winter there, after he was operated on and "come near dryin' up and dyiu'." lie was 21 when he went to war, and has never missed but two veterans conventions, in fact that is about his only vacation. "Outside of too much politics and too many women" he regards the U. S. W. V. as just about a perfect organization. Some of the boys he agrees the southerners, who "like to fill up on gin no matter how hot it iB." But they never get to breaking things nowadays as they used to too old, ain't lie prefers, soft drinks to hard but has had a good deal of beer, pretty long march yesterday afraid someone will think they all out, sprinting along, when visited the battleship Oregon be used in a war now, the guns seemed to look ship shape. Ho doesn't know whether there will be a war in Europe or not, but if there is one does KNOW he and his family will stay out of itl (But if there is a war, we wager they won't.) Yes a rugged, hard-working, Clod-fearing American citizen, and praise be still a TYTlCAfj one. The Spanish-American veterans didn't "fight to save t ho world for democracy," in fact their war was, all in all, a pretty small and sordid affair but as long as the type they represent endures, this writer for one at least isn't going to worry about whether or not this democracy, in its essentials, will endure. . . The hotel strike is over and many of the old employees are back at this hotel again sadder but wiser women and men. As one of them expressed it, "No I haven't quit the union yet. but if they call Another strike for no better reason than they did this last one, I will, and that's what T told 'em." How long will it take l.dior lenders to learn the plain truth, that the strike weapon should he used only ns a last resort, and then only if the principle involved is a vital one, to unionism. R. W.

THE YOUNGER A reader asks for an article setting forth my views or opinion on mothers who smoke and the effect, If any, on their children. The reader saya she does not smoke but her daughter does. Her daugh ter has two sons. The elder son Is five years - old and haa difficult breathing if not true asthma. The younger son la apparently healthy. The reader says she has Ben Told Just between ourselves would this not be a better world If the evasive mood were out lawed and every one referring to Ben Told were entitled to" three hearty Bronx cheers upon the mention of Ben's name. ... The Ice man or the girl who does her hair Informed the reader that "the average age of babies born of mothers who smoke is nine years." I do not know, but I believe that smoking Invariably Impairs the ex pectant mother's health more or less, renders her less capable of nursing her baby, and starts the baby off with a handicap I believe tho child born of a smoking mother usually presents evidence of faulty nutrition and therefore falls to grow and de velop as well as a healthy baby should. I believe this notwithstanding the advice given by some physicians, even good obstetricians, that If the ex pectant mother wishes to smoke It Is all right and will do no harm to herself or her baby. The reader asked mo to give my opinion and I have done so. I may be wrong. Nobody knows. A good suggestion has been made by Henry C.( Link, Ph.D., director of the psychological, service center, New York City, who points out that smok ing la a mechanism or chain of auto matic actions or habitual motions which become in time a nervous muscular process that Is hard to realst or Interrupt. The proceas con sists of lifting the package, extracting a olgarette, tumping one end, placing It In the mouth, striking a light. Inhaling the first puff or two of smoke. Only because I am trying hard not to be nice I refrain from adding that the smoker then glances about to Man About Manhattan By UEOfU.fc l'UCKUH NEW YORK When a newspaper man starts out, invariably he keeps a scrap book of his writings as If thev wore precious things needing to be care fully pre served. . Gradually his ardor for pasting even t u a 11 y he stops the prac tice entirely. " I've often wondered what mm lclans, art ists, writers, sou lp tors and other workers In esthetic fields ,1o about keeping some sort of a bil biography of their works. I have a feeling that their general course follows that of the newspa perman . Shortly before his death Julian Hawthorne, author of fous score of books, confessed to a friend that he had forgotten about many of the works he had written, and in fact possessed very few of them. "I seem, however, to recall their cadflvers." he remarked when the titles of some of his early fictions were recalled. But even younger men soon lose the Inclination to keep records. Take Arthur Schwartr, for Instance. Though only thirty-six, he is the composer of a couple of hundred songs, many of them hit tunes, and of a lengthening list of successful musical plays. . At first, as any young and proud composer might be expected to Jo. he bound collections of his sotuis In opulent Irather folders, and kept them handy on his piano. But he fi nally gave that up Just as the news papermen gives up pasting clippings. If you visit him in his windswept penthouite npartmmt on Park ave nue and mention his songs he prob ably will dmg out two or three oi these bound volumes. But there isn't anything recent there hy the writer of "Dancing In The Park." "Alone Together." "Louiffiana Hayrtde," and a score of other remembered scorea. "I've probably got corlca around some place." he says vaguely. At -iny rate they no lonse ro Into fancy leather folders snd Pohwurtit probahly would have a hard Job rounding them all up. Actually this attitude belles his te gal training he studied law and once practiced for In the niceties ot the law everything must be accurate ly tdgtieri and cataloged.

GENERATION see whether the performance thus far has been effective. Habitual smokers, especially exces sive smokers, generally resort to smoking as a convenient way of covering Incompetence, Inability. In adequacy, Inferiority. They smoke Instead of DOING SOMETHING. People who smoke excessively seldom indulge In any exerclae, play or work they can by hook or crook avoid. The business of smoking enables them to avoid DOING SOMETHING yet for the moment conceals, as they imagine, their Inadequacy. Young people who go In for real exercise, play or work do not crave the fake stimulation of tobacco. They get real stimulation from the in creased metabolism, the Increased ab sorption of oxygen, that goea with proper exercise. Athletic young peo ple do not smoke because they find they cannot compete auccewfully un der the handicap of lowered wind and deficient circulation. " QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Infection If a healthy person has his teeth filled by a dentist who has just been treating some natient with venorwi disease, and the dentist should cut the gum with drill or burr, Isn't there a chance that the person will be Infected with the venereal disease? E. C.) Answer Not oartlcularlv. if h dentist Is one of atandlng and proper training. There la less chance than there would be In having your nails manicured, vour hair dona, vmir ifin treated, your whiskers shaved, follow ing some customer who had a com municable disease. Presumably you would not patronize a dentist who is not competent to use atrictlv aseptic methods. Fasting Do you believe in fastinnr for mim ical betterment? (H. R.) Answer No. If you have indnlirpri to excess a fast of a dnv mnv ho harmless, but it is more sensible and natural to correct the abu3o by mod erate restriction in the diet, in nn circumstance, it Is advisable to in crease the intake Qf vitamins when you decrease the caloric Intake to prevent serious deprivation of essen tial vitamins.

LOW PRICED LUMBER AT BIG PINES LUMBER CO. PHONE 1 The Capital Parade (Continued from Page One ) of the Chesapeake corporal loh. but had pledged the Chesapeake stock with the Guaranty Trust as collater al on Its bonds. By the bond contract, the Guaranty had the right to vote the' collateral, end thus run Chesa peake, If the stock's value dropped below a certain point. In the collaps ing market, it did drop below that point. At least the Guaranty said so and voted the stock. Since Chesa peake corporation has working con trol of the C. and O. railroad, this meant that Young was being forced out of a profitable railroad set-up. He tried for Injunctions, but could not get them. In his answering attack on the Guaranty, Young charged that the Guaranty was acting In collusion with J. P. Morgan and company. The two banks have long been friendly. They went Into the unprofitable Van Swerlngen business together. And now Young said that It was really Morgan's which unceremoniously took control of Chesapeake. The prize was worth the row, for the big railroad is one of the few money-makers In the country. The Guaranty and Mor gan's, denying cooperation, were no less free lr their charges against Young. It may be that the first batch of subpoenas will prcduce nothing worth the ant 1-monopolists time or the trouble of a public hearing. At Mor gan's, the summonses were greeted with a shrug that has grown weary by repetition and the prediction that nothing of Interest would be discov ered. The supposed alliance between Morgan's and the Guaranty Trust is the first thing the investigators arc after. The Guaranty's control of CheMpeaSe, whether wise or not. Is a matter of the bond-contract and cannot be legally dlputed. The sec ond big p:int of investigation is tho manner in which that control has been exercised. Young was originally frozen out by the Guaranty bocaura he wished to dismiss the old, Van Swerlngen-appo!nted management of the Chesapeake. Why was the Guar anty so anxlcus to maintain these men In office? Why did Young want them out? These are two questions, and theroare many others, relating to tho doinga of both sides. And of course, if the antl-monn-ollsts draw a blank on the C, and O., they will go, elsewhere. There are a thousand situations In the American business structure which can be used to Illustrate the nature of manage ment and who controls it. Big steei will almost certainly be explored. So, very likely, will the motor companies, and other railroads, and some of the utilities companies, and many other large businesses. In -the end, the antl-monopollsts hope to have an anatomical chart of the American corporation. If they succeed in that aim. they will have Justified their existence. JOB HUNTERS ADVERTISE AIM WITH SIGN ON CAR PORTLAND, Sept. 15. (Pi George Alexander, 34, and Jim Tuck, 23, arrived yesterday on a Job-hunting pilgrimage from Los Angeles, their gaudily painted car shrieking the purpose with the words "We want Jobs.' They said Oregon employers were better than California employers be cause "They'll at least talk to you." 6TH AND FIR Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS WELL, the big purge has failed. Tydlngs la winning decisively in Maryland. Of the nine Democratic senators who incurred Roosevelt's displeasure by refusing to swallow everything he put on their plates and were therefore marked for the ax. NONE has yet been defeated, while on the 100-per-center side there have been at least two serious casualties Pope and McAdoo. Even if George should be defeated In Georgia, the purge will still have failed disastrously. MAINE has lost its place as a ba rometer state, but In Maine on Monday the Democrats failed to make any gains whatever. WHAT doea it mean? It means this: The next con gress WONT be a rubber-stamp con gress. The primaries this year have proved CLEARLY that a member of congress , can defy New Deal orders without being punished by the voters back home. ' That knowledge will add tremen dously to the Independence of con gress. IF congress reassumes Its constitu tional function as an independent branch of our government, many of the dangers that now, threaten us will begin to recede Into the dis tance. As these dangers become lew menacing, CONFIDENCE WILL GROW. Growing confidence means better business and more Jobs. IT means even more. The American system, which since Its beginning has brought to America higher average standards of living than exist anywhere else on earth, Is based upon local self-government. This effort to dominate elections In the states by orders from Washington threatens the institution of local self-government. Domination of local elections by orders from Washington has received a serious set-back In this year's pri maries. That Inspires more confidence In the future. THE outcome of the primaries so far almost leads thoughtful per sons to HOPE that in time we may get a' congress that will tackle the all-Important problems of beginning to spend less than we take In and thus TURNING OFF from the road that Invariably leads to ruin.
