Why Hitler Won ABOUT a week ago this column made a few haphazard guesses as to the real reason England and France decided not to call Hitler's bluff and demand a show-down. We opined there must be more in the situation than met the eye, for on paper, Hitler wouldn't dare to fight England, France and Russia at the present time, and a "call'' would scare off Adolph, and save Czechoslovakia without a war. One of the guesses was that England and France were not ready to fight, and that yielding now was really a stall for time. This guess may or may not be correct, but at least it is sustained by the recent comments of Messrs. Alsop and Kintncr in our "column left", whose comments on the European situation to date, have been remarkably convincing. TPIIESE two Washington correspondents claim that Hitler and Mussolini outclass France and England so decisively in the air, that in a very few days, after a declaration of war, the two dictators would probably control the air and have Paris and London at their mercy. They agree the Berlin-Roma axis partners, are short on natural resources, ready cash and military strength on the ground ; but in the air they have a tremendous superiority, and in case of war, would stake everything on an overwhelming air attack that might well be so destructive as to be decisive. (Or if not decisive at least frightfully costly in lives and property.) As before stated this may or may not bo true, but it is at least the first logical explanation of what has occurred in the past week or ten days. THE assumption that either Chamberlain and Daladier are pro-German, to the extent of being blind to their own countries' self interest, or are a couple of old maids who aren't on to all the Hitler curves, was too improbable to deserve any serious consideration. Of course their action may have been mistaken, but that it proceeded from any undue prejudices in Germany's favor or any ingenuousness just doesn't make IN one way this information is not at all reassuring for it confirms the fear that the recent Munich pact, was merely a stop gnp, an interlude during which war preparations on both sides will go on stronger than ever. We, therefore hope it isn't confirmed. But it is the only tip-off as to the real cause of the English-French retreat which sounds at all plausible. Baseball Business A MOTHER big league baseball manager has been fired, suggesting that these are troubled days in professional baseball as elsewhere. This season's managerial casualties remind the public again that the favorite national game, when it loaves the sandlots and the playgrounds, becomes big business more than sport. Managers are supposed to produce winning teams, although it is obvious to anyone that not all the teams can win pennants and championships every yenr. The public, in turn, would like to remind the baseball authorities that league games would be a bigger thrill to the crowds in the bleachers, and before the street scoreboards and the home radio if the contests were closer. When the second team in the American League is 15 games behind the leader, there is too big a gap for sustained excite ment or for genuine popular enthusiasm. Things are more satisfactory, from the spectators' standpoint, in the National League, when the second team is only 2li games behind the leader, the third team the fourth team ditto. There is still a chance for surprises there. Connie Mack, one of the greatest managers irt baseball history, has broken up victorious teams .because they were too good. It proved to be good business as well as good baseball. The public has a way of getting bored by too one-sided a contest. K. S. Text of Gov. Martin's Speech At State Capitol Dedication Speech of Oovernor Charlea H. Martin at Ded I cat Ion of C'a pi tot Salem, Oregon. October 1, 1938. Oovernor Martin's speech in full follows: We are gathered here today for a solemn occnatn the dedication of Oregon's new and modern capltol, n building that stands before you as a living and working symbol of the unity and solidarity of the fine pro gressive people of this state. It give me grcnt pleasure to ac cept the finished bututlng. on behalf of our people, from the chairman of the Cupttol Reconstruction Commls lon Mr. J. A. McLean. It gives me great pleasure to express on behalf of the people of Oregvm our apprecia tion and thanks for the splendid task you and your commission have done. It is a fulfillment that typifies the true spirit of Oregon the land or builders who work In harmony for the beat Interests and the welfare of sit. The building spenka for Itself; it trlls the story of btllliant conception, harmonious execution and faith In the future, t can only echo tho words in the hearts of all of us and say to you, Mr. Mclean, to the members ot your commission and to all who have worked so loyally with you the ar chitects, the contractors, the crarts men Well Done I An Honor to (intrriinr I am pleased at the honor bestowed upon me by the com ml Ml on In hold ing these dedicatory ceremonies ou my 73th birthday. 1 accept the honor tn the spirit with which It is extend edthe spirit of friendliness and of go.xl will. While It is true that within a Miort time I st mil lay down the cares ot public office. I aure you that I do not Intend to sit Idly by and merelv watch the inarch of progress. I will continue to labor shoulder to shoul der with our good patriot ic cllirent tT the development of our beloved state and for the pres ervation of our Ideals in government, tvdicatlon of this building today Is more than an ordinary event. It is a landmark in the onward marh of progress of Oregon. It 1 an op portunity to rededlcate ourselves to the work before us. It Is the oppor tunity to rededlcate ourselves to the proposition thut government by. of and for the people shall not perish. With the chaos of Europe before us as an example of where hatred nnd factional disruption lead. It Is fitting that, we do thla 3 that the torch at democracy can be kept aloft and burning with an Inspired flame. Here too. the building carries a message for us that simply reach.- the things for which Its pure and un stained walla stand. IllRhteoimneis In Human Affair On the ea.u side of the entrance are graven these words: "A free state Is formed and I maintained by the voluntary union of the whole people Joined together under the same bdy of laws for t'i" common welfare and the sharing of henefita Justly apportioned." On the west panel appears the fol lowing: "The mind of man knows no em ployment more worthy of Its powers than the quest of righteousness in human affalra: no ttoal of Its labor that is superior to the discovery of Rood In the guidance of lite." Ilefore the eyes of all who enter the capltol there is a message on the halconv that Is both a warning nnd a challenge. Thnt messAite is: "In the soul of its cltlens will be found the likeness of the state, which if they be unjust nd tyrsn nlml. then it will reflect their vices; but If they be lovers of righteousness, confident in their llbertirs. so will It be clean in justice, bold In free dom " These, my fellow elttrena. are til th. i texts for the conduct of our public affnlrs tor all time. Thry sre worthy of yout serious study and un drrstandlng. No where In tlu-jie texts does one find the material things grly over rated. Instond one finds a thHengc to the spirituality ot all of us to solve our problems on the precep: vf the Golden Rule, rather thsn to rn? -le mere'y at the diets'--s ot greed for money or greed for power.

Life Is not novel. Technical med ical terms such its sepsis or sep ticemia, asepsis, aseptic, sterile, antiseptic, germ icide, pasteurize, sterilize, d 1 s 1 n fect or disinfect ant, infect or In fectious, con ta t a r 1 on or con tagious, epidemic cnucmic auu pandemic, have lost more or less of their precise meaning in process of assimilation into popu lar parlance. For the sake of health, economy and peace of mind It Is well to have a clearer concept of these terms. Sepsis means the presence of pus producing or other disease germs In the tissues. As the blood Is a tissue, sepsis tn the blood Is septicemia (acute blood poisoning). The characteristic manifestations of sepsis or septicemia are chills, fever Bweata and prostra tion. Familiar local signs of septice mia developing In or from a minor wound are angry redness about the Margins of the wound, swelling, and lender red or purple lines extending from the wound along the course of lymphatics or veins under the skin, to neighboring lymph nodes or 'glands" which become swollen and Lender. Incidentally, the most fre quent cause of septicemia Is the strain of pus-producing germs known as Streptococcus, particularly Strep tococcus v 1 r l d a n s or Streptococcus hemolytlcus. In modern surgery asepsis Is the ideal strlvcd for. That Is, surgeon, assistant, nurse or whoever attends the operation, dressing, treatment. strives to exclude germs altogether from the field or the environment. The aseptic technique which Is nec essary to maintain this germ-free en vironment Is difficult and requires special knowledge and, training. It la not to be confused with "antiseptic precautions." No antiseptics are cm- ployed in the modern operating room. An antiseptic Is any agent that dis courages or retards multiplication or growth of germs. It does not neces sarily kill or destroy germs. A sub stance which kills germs Is a germi cide. The process of pasteurization heating to 145 degrees F. for 30' mln n u ten, tiien cooling again Is anti the twin offspring of selfishness. Too Much Materialism Too much emphasis has been placed on materialism In our imme diate pnst. We are now paying the penalty for neglecting our spiritual development: for our failure to raise It to the same high plane that our material progress has renched. In this sense wc must not only rededlcate ourselves to the restoration of the spiritual factors s neeeesnry for the well being of a people, but actually work and work unceasingly to that end. Here again the buiuing stands as an Inspiration, for without the unit ot spiritual harmony this fine struc ture could never have been achieved. Every workman, every artisan, every designer contributed his part to the erection of the cnpltol to the best of his ability. Each was content to play his proper role nnd none strove to shine nt the expense of tho others. So It Is with the state, for after all tiie stnte Is a structure crcntcd from the mind of man and made effective only by each of Its citizens contrib uting to Its strength and unity to the best of his or her ability. Too froqucntlj today we measure that contribution solely In terms of the tax dollar, and after protesting at the rate of payment, consider we have fulfilled our obligations to the uencml government by sending In the check. As a matter of fact, we have not hilf begun our duty. We have erred grievously, for we have made available the money without taking tho trouble to ascertain whether it will he wisely or foolishly spent. No amount of money by itself can accomplish anything. Under the tll-rc-tlon of wise and reasonable public officials the tax mnney can be btid gcted so ns to accomplish the great est possible good for the benefit of U of our people. Under the control of selfish dcmnti:gucs or lncompe tcnt the tax money can be made a power for the destruction of our MtMvls. and. !n fact, for the destruc tion of our very existence. P;nlllR Taxes Not Fnmiffh No cltiren has fulfilled his or her duty by merely paving taxes. The ob ligation is much greater. The obltgA ti n can be fulfilled only by active participation In the affilrs of tru state nnd In selection of officers who will execute the laws for the benefit nnd protection of all. without fear or favor. Further, our loyal cltlrens must nid In the formulation of poli cies and not permit this to be done by smnll but powerfully organlred minorities that would rape the pub lic for their own nefarious purposes. The greatest franchise ever granted man In public affairs It the right to vote. We have neglected this precious privilege, and unless we exercise it I to tiie fullest extent It will nt only atrophy from non-use. hut will be taken away by some ruthlras dicta tor. U anting From Europe Events In Kurope today should be a warning to all of us who cherish the m-ils of liberty and freedom We havr sTn the affairs of the ro called democratic nations of Europe bogged down in the morass of mul ti-party aettvttiM, which are in fact nothing more thsn minorities or blocs We hsve sern the breakdown nwkf It possible for majority govern ment to cxtM in nation tnst at no distant time in the past were world powers of the finest order.

Brady, M P. septic, that is, that degree of heat for that length of time, virtually par boiling, retards the multiplication of bacteria, but does not kill the bac crla. Boiling for from one minute to five minutes does kill most germs (except spores, and this degree of heat Is relied on for sterilizing water, milk and other fluids, as well as In struments, dressings and the like. A surface or material which is free from living bacteria la said to be iterlle. Superficially informed persons bar- ; bor a naive noton that "antiseptic" ; remedies applied to a- wound some i how promote or favor the healing of ; the wound. The truth Is that no such substance can or does appreciably speed up the healing process. If any such agent or substance la actually capable of killing germs or retarding their multiplication, of course It must destroy or retard the multipli cation of the delicate new tissue cells whose growth and rapid multi plication is essential In the healing process, Is the healing process in fact. A single application of a disinfect ant may be advisable in the first aid treatment of any wound. For this pur pose Mild Tincture of Iodine (stand ard In the U. 3. and B. Pharmocopoe las as Weak Tincture of Iodine con tains 2.5 per cent of Iodine) la use ful. But once the wound or Injury Is freed from Infection by this or other suitable first aid treatment, It is generally wise to avoid further ap plications of antiseptic, germicide or disinfectant, for a clean wound heals as promptly and well as a wound can heal. Besides boiling In water( contain ing a pinch of washing soda to pre vent rusting), other" efficient meth ods of sterilizing with heat are bak ing, steaming In a pressure cooker, and flaming, that Is, passing a soap-and-water washed scissors, scalpel, needle or other instrument through a flame. For ordinary purposes such as opening pimples, boils, blisters, cut ting away exuberant granulations ("proud flesh'), removing silvers, etc. It is sufficient to plunge the instru ment Into a cake of wet soap Just before using it. Ordinary Ironing len ders handkerchiefs and similar things practically sterile and safe to use on any wound. (Copyright, 1038. John F. Dllla Co.) Ed. Note: Persons wishing to communicate with Or.

But these are conditions In Europe and are of little concern to us, you say. They are not confined to Europe, for the deadly virus Is spreading in this country. We have seen small cliques and groups organized here to accomplish their own selfish ends. Here in Oregon we recently saw an attempt at labor dictatorship In the recent reign of terrorism, which was broken only when the racketeers and vandals were brought to the bar of Justice. We have seen subversive elements, whose ultlmnte aim Is the destruc tion of democracy and the estab lishment of dictatorships, filter into many phases of our life. We have been smug in the belief that so long as we pay our taxes the machinery cf government will continue. That is the moat dangerous state of lethargy Into which we can sink. It Is the be ginning of the end. for I warn you that If continued It will mean thai the forces of evil and darkness will commandeer the sinews you provide, not for the furtherance of good gov ernment, not for the continuance and betterment of democracy, but for their own corrupt programs of de struction and ruin. I.o Not Be MIOed Do not be misled by the belief that a large and str.jrle party alone can accomplish the ends of good govern ment. Establishment of uncontrolled bureaurocy and centralization of power Into the hands of one group without continuing the checks and balances laid down by the Founding Fathers for the protection of dem ocracy Is as dangerous as it Is the ex treme example of mental larlness. In such ccntrnllratlon breeds the seeds of dictatorship, especially when the majority porty Is Itself merely a coal ition of minorities, each with a Tro jan horse to stable in the party or yanl7Atlon. The instability and clan ger of coalitions are as real and vicious undr the cloak of one party as they are in the national govern ments abroad and the disruptive effect as great. Dictatorship under whatever form it may take be It the dictatorship of the proletariat, the dictatorship of the totalitarian state or the dictator ship based solely on the personal power and whimsy of the ruler means the death of democrasy and the extinguishment of the fine clear flame of liberty. Here In Oregon we have the oppor tunity right at hand to strike a val iant blow for the defense of democ racy and against the forces of dis sension and disruption that now seek to attach themselves onto the body politic and gorge themselves on the tax dollars meant for the benefit of all of us. We can route the enemy from our midst by our vigorous and wholehearted participation tn the af fair of state, beginning with the November election. Avoid Class Warfare We can thrust from our midst those whse program and doctrinea lead to elasa warfare an idea as alien to the good cltlrena of Oregon as that of making blood sacrifices on the altars of grim and foreboding sods We can make Oregon a land safe from the Intrusion of aliens who would destroy our economy by such tactics. Therefore, I ask of you all that you seriously appreciate and understand the symbolism of this great tutldtns we are dedicating to public service Furthermore, X ask that each and every one of you rededloate your selves to active participation in the i oattle now being fought to preserve I freedom and democracy. It la no far fetched menace that X refer to. It Is i a menace that it at our every door. and which U not eliminated will turn our fair country into the aame cha otic turmoil of hatred and persecu tion we all so deplore in Europe. On the top of this building stands the figure of the pioneer. It la fit ting that this symbol of the brave and loyal Americans who created a civilization and culture out of the wilderness that was once the Old Oregon Country should benignly look down upon us. It ts fitting and prop er that we should accept thee load the pioneers have laid down, for these men and women wrought ex cedlngly well. It la fitting that we should dedicate ourselves to the sa cred task of carrying forward this load In the fine spirit of meaning of the ideals and principles upon which our pioneers founded the American form of government. No nation can be great when ft truckles to the complaints of the whlners and malcontents. They con tribute nothing, but a great deal of noise. In fact they suck the sub stance of our strength. Therefore lq closing I urge you all to rededlcate yourselves anew to the hardy virtues that have made our nation a land of liberty thrift, pride, courage, sincerity, fortitude, honor. Integrity, lndustriousnesa in working for the common good, and above all a reaffirmation of folth in the God of our fathers. 4 Man About Manhattan By OEOAUft rUCREB NEW YORK It seems ironic that the blind beggars on the streets of Manhattan should wear police lic enses advertising the New York World's Fair. . . .

Persistence in a policy of "bald confiscation," he says in his note, will seriously Jeopardize the interests of all people's throughout the world. HE states no more than the plain truth. Suppose, for example, you knew that If you went to Mexico and ac quired property it might be seized at any moment without payment, what would you do? Why, you would stay at borne, of course. If everybody, alt over the world, started staying home and not risking foreign Investments, foreign trade would perish from the earth. If all fsreign trade perished, civilization (with its accompanying higher stand ards of living), would slip backward an Immense distance. (Secretary Hull knows, of course, that if Mexico la permitted to con fiscate American property other na tions will soon follow. Once the pol icy of confiscation is started, no one knows where it will stop. That is what he means when he speaks of "Jeopar dizing the Interest of alt peoples throughout the world.") IN the present unsettled state of the world, property is looked upon by shortsighted persons as an evil, and those who possess It arc too of ten regarded with suspicion and dis like. The idea of taking from those who have and giving to those who have not Is growing In favor, not merely in this country but rather generally. That is a dangerous tendency dangerous to EVERYONE; not mere ly to those who have property. If it Isn't checked, we shall all suffer. VTOU doubt that, perhaps. Well.. think this over: If your boss was not permitted to remain in possession of the property he has acquired, how long would your Job last? x Not very long.
