Give Them a Try at It
IT'S probably because nominally thii column has never been
Democratic, that it feels as it does. While it has strongly
favored President Roosevelt and the New Dealers, in most of
their efforts, it has no particular qualms, is engulfed by sno
tidal wave of acute nausea, at the prospect of the Republicans
returning to power again.
In fact we admit, while in this confessional mood, that there
would be considerable consolation on our part, , if this should
be the outcome ten days, or two years hence.
We know a majority of our Democratic friends won't be
able to understand this, or excuse it. To them there is some
thing inherently indecent about the Republican party and all
its works, no right thinking or right feeling person, they
feel, can subscribe to it.
To them the more or less moth-eaten and unobjectionable
elephant has never been the official Q. O. P. symbol, but .Tom
Nast'i famous figure of corruption, a heavy-jowled, bleery
eyed. individual, with a big black cigar hanging from one side
of his mouth, diamond shirt stud, and. dollar signs all over
his protruding waistcoat. ' -
LT&hh now and then we feel the same way about it. But
" not all the time. Which is only another way of saying
that, while we believe since 1933, the Democratic party has bad
the right idea about what must be done if American democracy
is to be preserved, and the Republican party hasn't (in fact
the G. 0. P, hasn't had any constructive ideas at all) we have
no feeling of obligation or loyalty toward the former; no con
viction that if, for any reason the Democratic party should be
forced to retire from action, all that is beautiful and pure and
worth while in public life, would retire with it. ;'' '
In other words, we would rather LIKE to have the Republi
cans return' to power and be
where they could no longer merely TALK about how terribly
everything is being done in
DO something about it.
TTHE Democrats have had six years at it, and will have two
years more. Our own opinion is, everything considered, they
have done a pretty good job. , , '. .
But we have yet to find a 100 Republican in good standing
who would agree with us, In fact we have seldom found one
who, sooner or later didn't maintain, that everything President
Roosevelt has done, has been wrong, and the next two years
are nothing more nor less, than a race between the return of
the Q.O.P. and national catastrophe.
Okeh, then by all means let the Q.O.P. have a crack at it
and see what it can do.
For no one denies, the unemployment problem hasn't been
solved; the national 'budget hasn't been balanced (and only
Heaven knows when it will be) ; the farm puzzle is still a
puzzle; the threat of war hasn't been eliminated and a hundred
and one other things in this country, (and this world) are not
what they should be.
"Twenty million Republicans" say the only thing wrong is
Franklin' D. Roosevelt and the Democratic party. All right,
why not take them at their word, and let them prove the truth
of their contention.

N the second place, for the first time in this column's recollec

turned over to the poeta. The

Such an experiment is iiiterenting but we are fearful how the
Oregon electorate will react.
For quarter of a century this
valve for those poetically suppressed, entitled the "Poet's
Corner" and all surveys have indicated that less than one-half
of one percent of our readers over read this column, passing
it up instinctively and unerringly as the wily timber wolf does
poisoned meat. Moreover it is doubtful if those who DID read
it, were ever sure as to precisely what was meant.
So with no argument against the measure to arouse the
natural contrariness of the genua homo, and nothing but a
poetic argument in ita favor, the prospects for success are far
from bright.
That is the chief reason we are giving the proposal a boost
at this time. It is going to need it. And as before stated it
should pass. For this measure, as Mr. Birch points out in
another column, places stream purification and beaut if ication
upon a scientific and common sense basis. L'ntler its provisions
there vis every reason to believe, that actual' pollution will be
avoided on one hand, and fi.shiug will be improved, without
impairing legitimate mining, on the other.
Another consummation, devoutly to be wished.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Slouch
1 am 17, active, good baseball and
basketball player, but my posture Is
poor falt-chested, round shouldered,
and hold my head forward. How can
I develop my chest and keep my head
up in tne correct position? (A. R.)
Answer Practice belly breathing
exercise night and morning. Every
hour by the clock, whether sitting
playing or walking, snap into as
nearly correct posture as you can
achieve and hold It a few moments.
Never mind your chest. Send stamped
envelope and ask for Instructions for
belly breathing exercise. Or enclose
30 cents coin for booklet "How to
Breathe."
Left -Handed
I do not agree with you. I am left
handed. All machines are made for
right-handed people. For instance,
I can't use a simple potato-parer be
cause I am left-handed. So I say,
if you have a left-handed child teach
him to write and do other things
only with the right hand. .It will
save the child a handicap through
life. (K. S.)
Answer Perhaps so, If the child
la destined to be a robot. If the
child has the promise of any special
talent or Intellectual attainment,
then do not interfere with natural
1 eft-handed ness If you do, you may
handicap the child throughout life.
If forced right-handedness occurs In
early childhood speech Impediment
Is a likely consequence. About one
in every 25 persons Is naturally left
handed. About one In every 25
potato-parers, etc., might be made
for left-handed users. In the manu
facture of shoes 80 per cent of the
entire output Is desired for the
left foot. The conventional objection
to left-handed writing Is nothing,
but prejudice relics of the old marl
tlnet schoolmaster.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FBANK JENKINS
SECRETARY of the Interior Harold
Ickea, the New Deal's knock 'em
down and drag 'em out specialist,
charges In a speech at Bonneville
that "Oregon Is troubled with a tory
press."
THAT, of course, raises (his ques
tion: "What la a tory newspa
per?" This la the answer: A tory news
paper Is a newspaper that prints
something we don't like.
BECAUSE they have known htm In
timately for years as a. fair
minded and public-spirited eitlaen,
nearly all of Oregon's editors are
saying nice things about Charlie
Sprague.
Sprague Is the Republican candi
date for governor of Oregon. Henry
Hess, hla opponent, la not only the
Democratic party's candidate but ts
the New Deal's candidate as well.
(The New Deal has no business trying
to Influence a purely state election
in Oregon, but Is doing it anyway,
for reasons of its own.) -
Ickes doesn't Ilka It when Oregon's
editors say nice things about the
candidate who Is opposing HIS can
didate, so he charges that Oregon's
newspapers are tory newspapers.
It's time-honored politics, but poor
sportsmanship.
SPRAGUE, speaking In Portland the
other day, made this statement:
"I refuse to ride Into office In a car
riage of rosy promises."
Add up all the rosy promises made
by vote-chasing demogogues In the
last six years and then figure out how
much bacon end eggs they've bought
for YOU.
Promises are cheap, but when you
try to eat them you get awfully hun-
AS between the candidate who
says: "Elect me and you'll have
ham and greens In the pot the rest
of your life' end the candidate who
says: "If you elect me 111 do my
honest best, but J. can't make any
guarantee," this writer will vote un
hesitatingly for the latter.
This promise diet Is getting thin.
CO-EDS at the University of Ore
gon, we read in the papers, don't
like Joe College's unwashed cords,
and what's more they don't like "the
unkempt hair, the frequent stubble
on the face and the dirty shoes that
seem to go with the sloppy cords."
But, the dispatch adds, there Is no
shortage of dates on the campus
even among wearers of the cords.
The co-eds are like the rest of us
they talk, but they don't do much
about it.

Communications
Plragrees With Mr. Jenkins
To the Editor:
The usually fine column by Frank.
Jenkins went punk Oct. 26th. He
attacked the proposed liquor control
bill as being worse than the present
system. But criticizing the minor
details of the bill Is merely a smoke
screen to keep the voters from pon
dering 1 ts m al n ob J ec tl ves , as set
forth In section 1.
This bill will put the ban on liquor
sales In scores or hundreds of villages.
and In thousands of hotels, restau
rants, cafes, drug stores, groceries,
pool halls, soda fountains, road
houses, etc. It will restrict liquor
sales to the state stores. Something
nk0 the rMtrictlona placed on many
other poisons. They can only be sold
iDT registered pharmacists.
Perhaps no one would claim that
this bill Is perfectly framed In all
of its minor detalla. But which of
the 13 measures before ua Is perfectly
framed? This writer thinks even he
could Improve several of them. But
let no one be side-tracked from the
main Issue, as set forth In Section 1,'
of the bill, by what may seem to him
llko a flaw In some minor detail.
Such things can be easily Ironed out
by the legislature or the courts. And
remember, our present system Is a
hideous mistake from top to bottom.
In Nov. 1633 in trying to defeat
the Knox law. thla writer said In the
Msll Tribune: -The old saloon was
bsd enough, but what they now pro
ooee to put In lta niace will he nn."
The truth of that statement la now
being demonstrated every day In
thousands of places. At first m.n.

For Pure Water mil
To the Editor:
j Thla Is a letter In support of an
I initiative measure entitled -Water
Purification and Prevention or roi
lutlon BUI," and enclosed la an edl
tolral from Engineering and Mining
Journal (New York), which may be
too long for you to print.
Briefly, Dr. Ward'a conclusions, re
ferred to to this editorial, are that
muddy water la not injurious to fish,
but doea Interfere with fishing, no
matter what may have been, the
source of the mud.
This bill provides for the creation
of a commission to enforce the law,
and this commission be kept free
from politics, neither the miner nor
the sportsman will have anything to
fear.
In the case of the governing board
of the state department of geology
and mineral industries, of which I
have the honor to be a member, and
which is certainly not politically con
trolled, I Insisted that science and
not hysteria be our guide, and had
the full backing of the director and
the other two members of the board.
The result was the examination and
report by Dr. Ward, and the board
provided for In the pending bill
should and, unless politically con
trolled, probably will, approach the
subject In the same spirit of scien
tific fairness. I therefore favor the
bill.

and the middle class. There la some
evidence that the motor manufac
turers themselves warned Governor
Murphy against atrong measures.
After all, General Motors' Chevrolet
sales would not have been Improved
If machine guna had been turned
on the alt-downers In - the Flint
plant. But the Michigan middle class
undoubtedly blamea Murphy for weak
handling of the slt-downa.
The second fector working against
Murphy la even more interesting, the
Derdocrata' Intra-party struggle did
not end with the purge. The New
Dealer, Murphy, la the victim of
the hatred of the organization Demo
crats, Just as the New Dealers tried
to make organization Democrats their
victims In the purge.
The leader of the Michigan Demo
cratic organization Is the state high
way commissioner, Murray van Wag
goner, a shrewd, genial, youngish
man whom Jim Farley esteems
highly. Through the highway de
partment, Van Waggoner controls far
more patronage than any other Mich
igan official. And he has shown the
greatest reluctance to put his men
behind Murphy. He will act lr secret
If he acts at all. but. If he finally
decides to risk stabbing Murphy In
the back, the wound 1 likely to
prove mortal.
Furthermore, Van Waggoner's atti
tude only reflects the feellnga of
the entire party organization In the
state. Murphy haa made himself bit
terly unpopular with the pap and
patronage boys, partly by parading
hla Intellectual New Deallsm, psrtly
by an Irritating theatrical manner,
and partly by Insisting on such aids
to good government as a decent civil
service.
A few weeks ago, Murphy's pros
pects were far worse. Factional atrlfe
In the automobile workers' union
threatened the unity of his lsbor
support. The president's brother-in-law,
. O. Hall Roosevelt, capriciously
attempted a stop-Murphy movement,
which might have got somewhere If
the president hsdn't asserted him
self, and Fitzgerald had not had
time to exercise his talent for put
ting hla foot In his mouth Today,
the Issue Is still doubtful. If Murphy
loses In the end, the New Dealers
will be thoroughly punch-drunk.
