Prof. Turnbull Writes a Book
IF you wish to know your own state, don't overlook the "History
of Oregon Newspapers" written by Professor George H. Turn
bull, of the University School of Journalism at Eugene, and
Just off the press.
This 900-plus page volume is an interesting and rather unusual
combination of extensive factual information concerning Oregon's
Fourth Estate, from its earliest beginnings; and a profusion of
native color and unconscious humor, inherent in journalism, par
ticularly in its pioneer stages.
By "unconscious humor" we don't mean the author was not
aware of the comedy he was transcribing, quite the contrary. But
the early-day newspaper editors, or at least many of them were.
In fact the more serious, stentorian, personal and declamatory the
editors become, the more amusing they appear, to our more adult
and sophisticated age.
And we commend the author's manner.
Which is not the manner of cocking the eye, and self-consciously
picking out a plum of humor, but merely quoting verbatim the
various pontifical potentates of the press, in such a way, and in
such relation to the context, that the humor is obvious, and at
times really side-splitting.
WE doubt if many Oregon editors fail to find certain improve
ments that might be made in the treatment of their own
districts. Anything else would be too much to expect in a book
of this sort, which necessarily takes in so much territory and
deals with such an exacting and temperamental group. After all
the average Oregon editor knows, or THINKS he knows, more
about the real newspaper picture in his own bailiwick than anyone
else, and an entirely objective and correct appraisal, from the
proper historical perspective may seem to him in many directions,
inadequate, when from that viewpoint, IT ISN'T.
BUT this is incidental as far as the real value of the book is
concerned, coming under the general admission that too many
editors are prima donnas, their profession tends to make them so.
"History of Oregon Newspapers" as a whole is Just what its
title declares, a history of the papers, large and small, from the
"Year One" In this Btate, and is thus an invaluable book of refer
ence not only for every newspaper library, but every public and
private library in the state.
But more than that it is an amusing and Interesting book to
pick up and read purely for entertainment, at any time and to
be opened one might say, at any place. At least this has been the
experience of the present writer, and we can imagine no news
paper worker not enjoying a similar experience. (En Passant a
member of the profession can't fail to get considerable satisfaction
out of the overwhelming evidence presented, that whatever defects
the modern newspapers of Oregon, may have, as NEWSPAPERS,
they have steadily -improved physically and. morally, since the
first Washington Hand Press operated in 1846.)
FINALLY Professor Turnbull's painstaking research demon
strates that more than any other profession, the history of the
newspaper profession, gives one an intimate and unique insight
into the political and social history of a state.
Is Gen 7 Johnson Pro- German?
IN view of Great Britain's order concerning neutral shipping to
or from Germany, that it will be seized on sight, the recent
comment by General Hugh Johnson, on that and kindred subjects,
is timely and interesting.
General Johnson! ....
It Is beginning to be unpopular to argue for "keeping out
of war." The charge is killing a dead horse that nobody
wants to get in. anyway.
But if increasingly taking sides is tending to get in, that,
at least, ought still to be worth talking about and especi
ally to call attention to every official act that tends that
way, try to do that and see what you get.
As long as what you say is favorable to the allies, you
don't get much. But if you criticize the allies or our own
Bction that seems to be unneutral as unnecessarily unfavor
able to Germany or as unduly favorable to her enemies you
are a Nazi sympathizer, or anti-British, or anti-Semetic, or
almost anything but the one thing we all ought to be trying
to be, which is anti-war and pro-American. They come
pretty close to being the same thing.
ONE complaint I get that this column seems to be
sympathetic with Hitler is incredible to me. I had
a little to contribute toward our fight against Germany in
the World war. The first public utterance of a federal
public official excoriating Hitler, I made in the first year
of his reign. It was scathing enough to draw a diplomatic
protest to our state department. If he ever took important
action which this column supported, I can't recall it. Others
may have criticized the Nazis as consistently, but 1 don't
know who.
But, If we are to maintain a strict official neutrality to
keep us out of this war, that doesn't mean that we should
keep silence about everything that Britain does in similar
categories much less that we should sprinkle whatever she
does no matter what may be its odor with patchouli
leaves even if printed American criticism of Britain is
sometimes garbled and misquoted in German papers.
,
LIKE almost every other American, my feeling is for
England and against the Nazis. 1 know of no drop
ot blood in my veins that doesn't come from the British
Isles from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. But I
have another feeling many times stronger than either of
these opposing ones it is for our country.
I THINK one-sided comment on this situation is, of itself,
dangerous. To whatever extent any comment has effect,
it seems to nie that that kind of dishonesty builds up emo
tion for one side of a foreign quarrel and intensifies it
against another. Lopsided emotion alone can get us Into
this war. Reason never will.
Exactly that is the sole purpose of the organized foreign
propaganda against which we are so Indignant. If we won't
stand for it from publicists of warring powers, how can we
stomach it among our own?
This column said recently that the British had hi jacked
some ;i() of our ships to the Germans' one the City of Flint
and that our state department began at once to give press
handouts on the Flint and scarcely mentioned the other.
This drew a blast that It wasn't "hi jacking," it was legal in
international law and not true as to the number of English
seizures.
The last statement Is incorrect. More than 30 seizures
occurred, lll-jacking is grabbing somebody else's goods in
transit by force. Whether hi jacking a neutral vessel at sea
is legal depends on whether, upon visit and search at sea, it
Is found destined to a blockaded port, or guilty of unneutral
conduct, or carries contraband. Regardless of this rule,
most of these ships were seized, taken to Britain and deter
mined lays Inter to be entirely innocent. It was a
British violation of American rights but we suffered it in
silence. Is it pro Nazi to say so? Our state deportments'
neglect to say so about similar British seizures was one
reason why we got Into the World war.

doses of sulfa

four days, as
described here
the other

of penumococ

I were obtain
ed from the
boy's throat,
from the pus
that drained
from the mid
dle ear - after incision of the
bulging ear drum, and from the
fluid taken from the spinal can
al when the question of menin
gitis arose (because of the pain
in ear, followed by complaint
of dizziness and pain in back
of neck when the child tried to
raise his head from the pillow).
Whether the sulfanilamide or
sulfapyridine accounted for the
recovery, or whether the child
would have made the same
prompt recovery following
drainage of the ear if no medi
cine had been given at all, of
course must remain a conjec
ture. Eventually perhaps we
shall find from accumulated
experience in practice just what
remedial value sulfanilamide or
sulfapyridine has. At present
the question Is unsettled.
The praptical point in the
case cited, which should inter
est every one, is that from the
bacteriological study of the case
it is reasonable to infer that the
boy first had a simple sore
throat or perhaps it was called
a "cold." Thru sheer fate or
neglect of proper treatment or
wrong treatment or possibly
poor immunity from faulty nu
trition, the pneumococcus in
fection spread from throat to
the middle ear, via the Eustach
ian tube, that air-duct between
the middle ear cavity and the
back of the throat. Or maybe
the child had never been
taught how to blow the nose
and by improper nose-blowing
forced some infected material
from the back of the throat into
the Eustachian tube and the
middle ear space.
Well, how should one blow
the nose, if at all?
The less blowing the better,
in any circumstance.
Gently, always. Never with
one or both nostrils pinched.

Washington, Nov. 22. The
president Is obviously having
the time of his life with the
third term controversy. His
lightest word Is treated as an
awful augury, and, when he
laughs at the anxious augurs,
his very laughter is subjected
to extensive interpretation. Ev
eryone has an emphatic opinion
as to whether he will run or
won't, and currently the opin
ions of the majority appear to
be that he won't.
It isn't quite as simple as all
that, however, if the criterion
is to be the president's own dis
cussion of the topic with the
men around him. Like everyone
else in the country, he has late
ly been talking third term, with
members of his cabinet, lesser
officials, political leaders and
simple private friends. The net
of more than one of these con
versations, as transmitted by the
parties of the second part, Is
about as follows:
The president does not want
a third term, will not seek one.
and is extremely anxious to re
tire. After seven eventful years
in office, his nostalgia for Hyde
Park's country Joys increases
steadily. There has been no in
dication that a purely domestic
political situation would alter
his decision not to run again.
But It has been plainly indi
cated that, if the security of the
United States should be threat

orously than ordinarily to favor

Where did the boy get the
pneumococcus in the first
place? Probably from some one
who had "just a slight cold," so
called. One never knows what
such indisposition may prove to
be, in the stage when the ignor
ant or vicious individual who
has it goes about spreading his
infection among all who are so
unfortunate as to come within
his conversational spray range,
for example. Ignorant or vicious
people are encouraged in this
spreading of infection by the
teachings of many of our pub
lic health administrators. I've
sounded off about this for years,
but they're pretty thick-skinned,
the politicians who hold down
the top jobs in public health de
partments and some of them
have their followers pretty well
convinced that it Is mainly a
question of keeping one's feet
dry or avoiding drafts Or the

Should a porson who exercises out
doors In hot weather take an extra
ration of salt? If so, how much and
when? (H. C. W.)
From my own experience during
the last hot wave I know that taking
Vt teaspoonful of salt four or five
times a day renews one's energy
beyond belief. Several of my friends
who were quite fagged out tried it
and round It wonderfully refreshing.

Answer Yes, whenever there 1,

Is excreted In the sweat. It Is advis
able to take a salt ration, perhaps
10 or 16 grains, or nearly tea
spoonful, several times a day, along
with drinking water, during a hot
spell or whenever one works or plays
hard In such weather. It not only
refreshes more than water or othet
beverages unsalted, but It prevents
heat cramps or heat stroke.

out unless the country Is in
danger of attack or actually at
war.
This is the position which the
president has repeatedly expressed
over a considerable period. A couple
of years ago. In a long dinner-table
talk, then reported in this space, he
took the case of Abraham Lincoln as
his text for a sermon on the third
term issue. He argued that, despite
outward appearances, the historic
precedents against a third term were
not binding. Instead, he said that
a third term was simply undesirable,
except when a great task remained
to be performed, and he expresses
the thought that. If John Wilkes
Booth had missed his aim. It would
have been Lincoln's "duty" to run
sgaln, to accomplish the humane re
construction of the south.
The parallel Is unmistakable be
tween this talk of a couple of years
ago and his more recent discussions
with the men around him. What
may not be apparent is the real fer
vor of the president's wish to tears
the White House. It la commonly
said that, when the time comes, no
president can bear the thought of
going, nils may be so. Possibly the
president Is only deceiving himself.
At any rate, he gives every sign of
being sincere.
A case in point is that of a high
official with little Interest In poli
tics who must be often at the White
House. Before the war, when the
new deal group was actively agitat
ing for a third term, one of their
emissaries approached this official
and asked him to Issue a "draft
Roosevelt" statement. The official,
who Is not overly fond of the new
dealers, sent the emissary rudely
about his business. Then thinking
It was wise to be completely frank,
he told the president what he had
done. '
Tho president replied by congratu
lating the official and explaining In
the most vlvld and emphatic terms

that he did not want a third term,
would not seek one. sod had no
shadow of a part lo the agitation
for one. He spoke so warmly, in fact,
that tho official was decidedly taken
aback.
Curiously enough, members of the
new deal group seem to bs the only
class of men close to him with whom
the president hss not mull ad over
his future. They know, of oourse.
how he has been talking, and what
his Inclinations are. When the
schism In the Democratic party was
at its worst, they were convinced
despite evidence to the contrary, that
the president would end by taking
the third term nomination. Now,
with the party united, they are not
so sure, but have not abandoned their
hopes.
In this quarter, you hear partial
confirmation of the recurring Wash
ington rumor about a aoon-to-be-lssued
presidential statement on the
third term question. The prediction
is that the statement will be made
either at the Jackson day dinner on
January 8, or on the president's
birthday a fortnight later. But the
new dealers believe that the presi
dent will not go further in Ms state
ment than he did In the discussions
Outlined above. If they are correct,
he will simply say he does not wish
and will not try to run, leaving him
self a loophole. And through this
loophole, they still hope to persuade
or push him.

INCREASED shipping losses

total) are the feature of this

The British charge that the
Germans are strewing the North

magnetic mine is a peculiarly
develish instrument, as a ship
doesn't need actually to HIT it
in order to be destroyed.
When a ship merely GETS
NEAR, the magnetic mine does
its deadly work.
DR1TAIN has ships and can
use them. The neutrals
trade chiefly with Britain, sup
plying British needs. Thus Ger

to gain by indiscriminate de

The only rule that REALLY
COUNTS in war is that you do
whatever you think you have
to do to win.
IT WOULD be tough if some
of the roving German sub
marines should hit some of these
floating German mines. It would
be like setting a trap for your

stored presl-o-logs, which being
of dried, compressed sawdust,
swelled like overstuffed saus
ages. Before the swelling stopped,
several hundred of the supports
of the warehouse 'walls were
crushed and the whole thing
twisted out of alignment.
Eleven thousand tons of the
logs were undamaged. The loss
was covered by Insurance.
