F. D. R. Escapes a "Shut Out"
WELL as the purges President Hoosevelt lost were all
crushing personal defeats, the one he didn't lose yester
day must, by the same token be an outstanding personal
victory.
Of course it isn't as simple as that. Too many factors enter
into a STATE contest, to chalk up the result as clear-cut
triumphs, or clear-cut reverses, for any NATIONAL figure,
even if the figure happens to be President and has expressed
his personal preferences, as the leader of his party.
But when it comes to partisan politics, we don't as a people,
go into scientific analysis very much, that's known as splitting
hairs so it is fair to state, F. D. R.'g purge adventure will go
down into the contemporary records, as a 7-1 beating only
saved at the 11th hour by "Gas House John" 0 'Conner, from
a complete shut-out.

perament, can't help but be sobered and slightly chastened by
such an experience, which, at this stage of the game is a
desirable thing.
IN other words the net result will be to clear the political
atmosphere, settle the grounds in the national coffee pot
so to speak, and make constructive political progress from
this point on, more likely rather, than less so.

Self Interest Supreme
WE NOTE a contemporary accuses England of "physical
cowardice and moral bankruptcy." "Perfidious Albion

1914, "she gallantly and nobly marched to, the defense of
Belgiura."
Yes a ease can be made out
years ago England officially,
because of the latters disregard
particularly its invasion of Belgium.
And today, although Frartee signed a treaty pledging
Czechoslovakia armed assistance
and England has had an understanding with France to aid
her in caso of such an emergency,
They both, refuse to honor their pledges, formal and in
formal, and throw Czechoslovakia to the wolves to save, their
own skins.
NOT a pretty picture. And yet, we fear impartial history
(which is not particularly interested in sentimental or
even moral abstractions), will not support our contemporaries

In fact our belief is, history

suspicion or fear of the doctor on
the part of everybody. Of course
there are ways to disguise the nau
seous taste of castor oil and tricks
of administering It so that, a dose
may be taken without breaking any

me I can't understand why any
youngster who doesn't particularly
care for castor oil on his pancakes
or on his stomach should take any.
Please put this In the medicine cup

Of course a sick doctor is a fool
to try to doctor himself. If I were
sick I'd submit to the care of a well
doctor, and If he prescribed a beaker
of castor oil and maybe a nice big
dose of calomel and careful protec
tion against draft I'd take It all
without argument or else I'd fire the
doctor and call in an up-to-date man.
For I suppose as long as old wives'
tales are told some doctors will con
tinue to prescribe castor oil and for
all I know there may be honest,
well-meaning practitioners still giving
calomel.

First Postmaster at Jacksonville
To the Editor:
On September 13. 1838, there ap
peared on page 10 of The Medford
Mall Tribune some Information about
early post offices in Jackson county,
uregon. mis is in connection with
a study which is being made by Mr
DeSouza.
Some yeara ago I obtained from
the post office department at Wash
ington, D. c, photostat copies of a
tew pages or the first record book
of Oregon post offices. The following
information is taken therefrom:
Dardanells post office was estab-
nsnea October 19. 1853, and the
first postmaster was William O,
i vault. Thla Is in accordance with
your newspaper article, but the orig
inal record book Indicates that this
post office was discontinued August
3. 1854. This date differs consider
ably from the published Informa
tion. It Is possible thst the office
was re-established some time after
1854. and continued until 1878. but
the records that I have do not ex
tend later than about 1855. and It
had not been re-established up to
thst time.
Your data about the post office
at Manseneta Is In accordance with
the early records.
Jacksonville post office was estab
lished February 18. 1854. with R.
Dugan first postmaster. Sylvester H.
Taylor was appointed postmaster on
December 19, 1854.
Port Orford post office was estab
lished March 37, 1855. with Reginald
H. Smith flrat postmaster. This is In
accordance with your Information
There la a note In the record book
to Indicate that It was later In "Coos
county.
The Information In the original
record book about Leland Is In ac
cordance with your article, and the
same Is true for the post office at
"can Kiver. Published data about
Ashland Mills are correct, except thst
rsny post office records .show it in
Marion county."
This will supply the Information
that you are after about the first
postmaster at Jacksonville.
Very truly yours.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JKNK1NS
IT Democratic senator;
J-4 votfd for nearly everything the
President wanted, but balked at the
supreme court bill and a few other
odds and ends of his program were
marked for defeat at the primaries.
Mr. Roosevelt wants what he wants
when he wants It, and Is inclined
to be resentful when it Isn't forth
coming. ALL EIGHT were renominated. NOT
ONE fell by the wayside,
THAT Is to say, the voters who are
the constituents of these sen
i a tors, have said to the President, In
sxibstance;
"Mr. Roosevelt, we like you AS
PRESIDENT. But we don't want you
to bo the. President and the supreme
court and the congress, all rolled
Into. one. That Is too much power
to put into ONE MAN'S hands.
"We approve the action of these
senators in using their independent
Judgment as to the measures pre
sented to them, and so we are vot
ing for them again, in spite of your
recommendation that we vote for
someone else who will go with you
ALL THE TIME Instead of going
with you only when ho thinks you
are right."
THAT, In the Judgment of this
writer. Is the plain and simple
lesson of the big purge that didn't
p;-T.
LET us be careful not to misread
the lesson of the primaries.
Mr. Roosevelt Isn't down and out.
He has been reprimanded by " the
voters, who - are still the sovereign
pDver in this nation. He hasn't lost
his popularity. You reprimand your
child when it reaches for something
it shouldn't have, but your reprl
mand doesn't mean that you hnv.-
ccFPd to love the child.
P President Roosevelt were cam
paigning for re-election for a SEC
OND TERM this fall, he would un
doubtedly be re-elected. If he were
campaigning for a third term, he
MIGHT be re-elected. He la still a
tremendous power to be reckoned
with.
But the voters In eight statea have
said to him very plainly Indeed that
f want hli to remain content
with being PRESIDENT and don't
want him to reach out for control
of ccr.'rt. and the courts.
The voters In these eight states

Tom Corcoran and Ben Cohen first
began to figure in the New Deal,
delegation of prosperous Jews 1
said to have waited on Frankfurter.
Cohen was Frankfurter's protege.
Frankfurter might succeed In per
suading him to leave the field to
his Irish partner. And so they made
the same argument to Frankfurter
that has now been made to Frank
lin Roosevelt. As the story goes.
Frankfurter's only answer was a
scornful:
"Ah. I see you would build your
own Ghetto." .
It Is a bitter commentary on the
American people's Intelligence to sup
pose they can be offended by the
nomination of Felix Frankfurter. In
deed, it's. a kind of. reductlo ad ab
surd um of antl-semltlsm, for It is
based on the theory that the voters
would prefer a bad to a good Judge,
Just because the good Judge bad the
wrong grandparents.
No one has questioned that Felix
Frankfurter would make a good
Judge. Holmes, the Yankee aristo
crat; William Howard Taft, the ami
able monster from the mid-west;
Franklin Roosevelt, the Hudson river
squire these and scores of other
leaders of American life have cher
ished him as a man and admired
htm as a disinterested public ser
vant. Hardly a respectable volce has
been raised against his nomination
since It was first proposed. And the
very men who have gone privately
to the president hold him In high
esteem.
And the chances are fair that. If
the president passes Frankfurter over,
his choice wlU be bad. The fact that
Senator Sherman Mlnton of Indiana
la being seriously named should be
sufficient evidence. Indeed, there is
faction among the labor groups
and on the New Deal's extreme left
which now actually demands an out
rageous nominee on the theory that
the supreme court Is an outmoded
institution, and that the best way to
destroy It Is to staff it with mounte
banks and quacks.
There is only one excuse ( for the
delegation that visited the president
Some signs Indicate that antl-seml-tism
is increasing in this country.
But the reason Is not that men like
Frankfurter have done brilliant work
for their country. The reason 1 that
certain reactionaries have started the
propaganda machine going, from mo
tives as sordid aa a Klan night-shirt
salesman's. Every honest conserva
tive, every man who believe In con
serving what la best In America
must be deeply disgusted by the
slimy nonsense of these men.
