The Only Thing To Do REAT surprise it expressed that the Portland Journal has decided to support Sprague and Holman. Think of it, a strong DEMOCRATIC newspaper, supporting two staunch REPUBLICANS for important office 1 As a matter of fact there should be no surprise. For a large and influential newspaper like the Journal to refuse to support two candidates for public office it distrusts, regardless of the partisan label they may be wearing, should be taken as a matter of course. Every newspaper worthy of the name should do that. And one of these days, WILL OUT tradition dies hard, and habit, ditto. As President Roosevelt remarked a few days ago, regarding another im portant political event, "it often takes a long time for the past to catch up with the present." It lias taken a long time for the newspaper profession to realize that its first obligation is not to a party but to the people, that more important than any partisan loyalty, is devo tion to the welfare of the public. Many of them can't see it now. The first question with, every newspaper should be: "What is best for this community, this state this country j Not what is best for this party or some other, this group of candi dates, or that other group, and above all what is best for the political fortunes of this newspaper I course this is nothing new. It is, in fact, primary stuff. It all comes under the general heading of placing principle above party. It is amazing however how many years, the validity of thut moral precept has been generally accepted, and how RARELY it has been practiced. "Oh of course, principle is the thing, party doesn't count," but when a large and influential news paper actually FOLLOWS that precept; what a sensation is caused, in this instance, for example, the Oregonian finds the action so extraordinary, it breaks all precedent by printing a long editorial that, but tor its final paragraph, is almost com plimentary to its hated rival I VTES it takds time. But no doubt in another 50 years, pcr- Imps less, a newspaper that is 100 partisan, merely tho servile mouthpiece of some political organization, will .be as rare in this country, as the genuinely non-partisan and inde pendent newspaper is now. It will then be universally granted that narrow journalistic partisanship is as out of date in our modern newspaper business, as hand type and the old Washing ton hand-press. And as usual when the reformation has been completed, the reform has become an accomplished fact, no one will be able to explain why it took 50 years for some of the biggest journalistic shots to see it I Don't Be Too Sure JUDGING by some of the comments hereabouts, it's now all nvnr hnf tho nlimitinfT With the Journal for Sprague, that makes it unanimous. As far as daily newspapers are concerned, there won't be one in' Oregon for Hess. So it's in the bag for the Republican candidate, nothing less I VITE agree the support of the Journal will be a help to Sprngue, and the absence of daily newspaper support a handicap to Hess. But we wouldn't advise any of our Republi can friends to start in now spending their election bets. As has been frequently stated in this column the golden days of Horace Grcely are over, the people no longer go to news papers for their voting ORDERS, they go to newspapers for their INFORMATION, and when they get in their election booths, vote as they darn please, on their "information and belief." Our own opinion is Charley Spraguc .will win, he certainly should but not because the Journal has come out for him, nor because his opponent has no newspaper support, but be cause he iB well qualified for the position of chief executive of this state, by training, temperament and character, and his opponent ISN'T I Most DECIDEDLY isn't. The longer the campaign goes on, the more the people of the state, regardless of party, will become aware of this fact, and that's what's going to elect Sprague and defeat Iless. 'T'HE newspapers will be very valuable, in this direction, but we wouldn't advise the members of the Sprague campaign committee, to let down in their efforts on the assumption that now they won't have to work! Perhaps they can get by without it, but if we were in their shoes we wouldn't take the chancel one-half million cubic yards of concrete will be poured, exceed ing the cubic, yard content of Boulder dam I Shasta dam will likewise enjoy the distinction of being the HIGHEST OVERFLOW TYPE OF DAM IN THE WORLD. OIGHTLY, the Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association looks to this great project as a strong magnet for the attraction of tourists and vacationists from every section of North Amer ica. This is backed by the records of attendance at other great dams. Two hundred thousand automobiles loaded with sight-seers registered at Grand Coulee last year; Boulder dam's 1937 cheek showed 398,000 visitors! Jackson county and her sister couuties of southern Oregon affiliated with the Shasta Cascade Wonderland Assocfation should profit by this new, important tourist attraction. IT'S just one more reason why the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce should push forward its commendable program to unite southern Oregon communities in a common effort to promote the tourist industry. In unity there is strength. The job must be tackled without delay with the effort of an ORGANIZED SOUTHERN ORE GON" coordinated with tho well directed program of her Cali fornia neighbors in the Wonderland Association ! H.

Postural ing examples of the contrary to at tempt to say that personal appear ance Is all-lm portant In the pursuit of hap pines or success. Most of us are susceptible, how ever, to first Im pressions, and P, A. has a good deal to do with the P. I, Posture Is gen erally the pre dominant factor, the thing that Impresses you at first sight of a per son and lingers In yoir mental pic ture or tnat person, whether you are conscious of it or not. If the posture U better than the average that fact sticks In your subconscious mind in association with the Individual, and It constitutes one point In the in dividual's favor. On the other hand If the individual's posture la bad, there Is automatically registered in your subconscious mind an unfavor able picture, and you will either dislike or endeavor to forget the in dividual unless he or she happens or Is able to exert other influences upon you which overcome or outweigh the first Impression. Physical education, rather than physical training or systematic exer cise determines posture. Physical training is exercise or practice to gain skill, endurance, speed, agility. Phys ical education Is education in the development and care of the body, and of course embraces the funda mentals of physiology and hygiene. Although posture Is an important ftietor of personal nppeaxnnce, It can not entirely compensate for lack of other factors which contribute to first Impression, namely, good looks nd comeliness, neatness or cleanli ness, good taste or fashion sensibil ity In dreas. good manner or cour tesy and especially a pleasing, modu lated voice. Many persons, themselves unaware of It, owe what charm they have to one of more of these traits. In any case, if the posture la not a good m It should be. a course of study and training to develop bet ter posture will add materially to P. A. and P. I. Posture Is the position or bearing of the body. Fault of posture are human and occur almost exclusively among the . more highly civilised defects are never found In animals in their natural or wild state. Nutrition in the biological sense. tnat is, the sum of the processes by which the animal body takes In and utilizes food substance, has much to do with posture. Certain familiar postural faults suggest to the phy sician specific nutritional deficien cies. These will be discussed later. In childhood precept is less potent than example in establishing habits of posture and neither precept nor example has as much Influence on habit of posture aa nutrition has.

(AP) Thlck-halrcd Bernarr MacPadden. magazine publisher and amateur filer, stopped off here enroute to Seattle and told Interviewers that In Washington they say "to hell with the constitution." "You know what P. D. Roosevelt said: 'Never mind the constitution. go ahead and pits the law'," asserted MacPadden, "and Just to think I boosted him In 1932." Asked the difference between Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt. MacPadden ejaculated: Oh, my lord! All the difference in the world. Teddy was a dyed-ln the-wool American. He was a fighter for Americanism and the constltU' tion an the time. But this man Franklin Roosevelt has a bunch of communists around him and it's be Inj? told again and aatn around Washington that they want a war so aa to save their faces on account of getting the country so deep in debt."

The central disputants pulled further apart as Konrad Henlem, dude ten Germany party leader, an nounced in Germany formation of a "Sudeten free corps" of his refugee followers which is to be armed and drilled on both sldea of the German- Czechoslovak frontier. Composed chiefly of men trained in the Czechoslovak army, the "free corps" will be held ready for any comma.! to rush against the Czech iirmy or police. As the British-French conference in London was planned, there wsa talk of "methods involving same sac rifice" and application of "rough justice" to save peace. This, in fear of a European war, was held out a the lesser of "two evils." 'Thoee who tske this view," said the British Press sssoclatlou, close to the officialdom, "suggest that a re drawn line of Czech boundaries U in the end inevitable." 9latle Aid Promised While statesmen apparently thought along these lines and hurried to get their word back to a reportedly im patient German fuehrer, they reck oned without the subject of all their discussion, little Chechoslovakia herself. Rudolph Bechyne, minister of rail wsys and often a spoke5man for the Czechoslovak government, said Czechs would rather die than permit dis memberment of their republic. A plebiscite, he said, "would be a short cut to war." And yet plebiscite, in which Sudeten Germans would vote on un ion with Germsny. Is reported to be HOLLYWOOD. Calif., Srpt. 17. iP) Sen. Key Ptttmann of Nevada chairman of the senate foreign reln j tlons committee, said In a national broadcast tonight It Is obvious that nothing will satisfy Hitler except a complete surrender by Czechoslo vaks'. "And will such surrender be .the end of surrenders?" he nsked. "In my opinion it will not, bui will be but the beginning of further and further demands for surrenders. "Mussolini goes even further now in pronouncement of his ultimatum." Sen. Ptttmsn continued. "All terri torial and political adjustments brought about through the World war must be wiped out. "Every race in every country must have the power of determining for lUclf solely to what government It will hold allegiance ana what gov ernment shall dominate the territory ocupied by such race." Sen. Plttmann declared the "world Is threatened by on imminent cata clysm, the most destructive in nil history" and there is a "cructel threat to democracy." "Upon the abandonment of Czech oslovakia. If Czechoslovakia is aban doned, then the small democracies of the world will have but one alterna tiveto retrent and surrender, or ac cept peaceful slavery under military dictators." he said.
