Alibi makers for Communistic hell-raising did some editorial deploring and waved the white wash brush last week, anent the recent demolition of a "Red Hall" in a Washington city, by cng pestered residents. One classified the affair as "bad Judgment all around," thus dl viding the blame 50-50 between the opposing factions a neat bit of straddling. The more or less liponstaneous "mob action" of attackers was deplored, without mentioning the "planned revolu tion" of the defenders, of which they have long boasted, as one of their major aims. It is also In need of some deploring. To plot and plan the destruction of form of government, to some is not reprehensible. But for a hastily formed "mob" to over turn their nest, is diabolical no end, and doing all kinds of things to America's "love of fair play," and causing Justice to un ravel, at the edges. ... Finnish soldiers loosed' aval anches on Russian troops Sat urday, and In the mountainous waves that resulted, hundreds perished. Some idea of what an avalanche is like can be gleaned by questioning veterans who have drank Finn whiskey. It is called 'Korplskunsen Kyyneieta' even before they drink it. The rains came and how! The road to the top of Roxy Ann, was of no use again as a storm sewer system, to drain flood waters from residential areas.

The Best Christmas Gift of All IT is the time of year to buy Christmas tuberculosis seals. This season, when the holiday spirit of giving is very much in our hearts, is an appropriate seals, for, in buying the little tuberculosis stamps, we are giving the greatest of all gifts HEALTH to unfortunate thousands who have contracted the dread disease. The importance of the Christmas seal sale In advancing the humanitarian fight against tuberculosis, has been stressed each year. A reminder that NOW is the time to buy seals is all that should be necessary. IT is In order, however, to refresh our minds on the progress of this well organized fight against tuberculosis. Encouraging progress HAS been made, here and throughout the nation. Other nations have kept pace; especially outstanding has been the record in our neighboring Dominion of Canada. Thirty-five years ago, when a determined little band launched this drive against "consumption", 201 out of every 100,000 per sons died of this disease. Then there was no known cure and no preventive vaccine. ' The fight has been waged through the years, unrelentingly, since the formation of the National Tuberculosis Association in 1904 and, while the disease has not yet been conquered, it Is an encouraging fact that only 49 out of every 100,000 persons died during 1938. And, since 1907, the little Christmas seals, with the distin guishing Lorraine Cross, have played a heroic role in the crusade. WHILE splendid progress is being made in this well organized fight against tuberculosis, it is still serious to the point of becoming a challenge to this and future generations. True, it has fallen from its former role as public enemy num ber one to seventh place among the causes of death, yet the fact that nearly 40,000 deaths from tuberculosis occur each year in the age group of 15 to 45 years is ample reason why the campaign should be pushed more energetically than ever. Tuberculosis is, in fact, the greatest killer in this age group. Here's another startling fact! It is estimated that this nation has a HALF MILLION ACTIVE CASES RIGHT NOW! IT Is also in order that we emphasize the fuct that tuberculosis l does NOT "run in the family" it is not inherited; instead, each case comes from another case. In the early stages this insidious disease is difficult to diagnose; easy to cure. Advanced tuberculosis, however,is easy to diag nose; difficult to cure. We know not when or where it will strike; it respects neither color nor creed. Thus, it is always wise to be alert for the slightest symptom. Periodical check-ups with family physicians are just another sensible precaution. An enlightened public can do much toward stamping out tuberculosis! THE Jackson County Public Health association, working in close cooperation with 2,000 similar organizations in the United States, has established a highly gratifying record In this fight. Jackson county's death rate from tuberculosis is far below that of Oregon and of the nation as a whole! Thanks to the response of a generous community to former Christmas seal sales, tuberculosis is ON THE RUN In Jackson county ... a successful sale this year will KEEP it on the run! THERE'S another important reason why the 1939 seal campaign must be a successful one. The Jackson County Public Health association, in step with a nation-wide program, will undertake new strategy in this tuberculosis fight . . . REHABILITATION work for those who hove won their individual struggle with the disease! In a nutshell, this program seeks to open avenues of gainful employment and social usefulness for former tuberculosis suf ferers, making certain that their new employment will not endanger their restored health. National surveys have revealed that 50 per cent of those persons cured of tuberculosis in past years, have died during the five ensuing years because they were forced to continue their former jobs, frequently detrimental to their health. THE new project of the national association, and the local one. will provide training in less fatiguing fields of endeavor and assure the necessities of life while this period of training is underway. There is a moral obligation involved in this work. The health of tuberculosis sufferers MUST be safeguarded AFTER cures have been effected. Likewise, the public has a sizable investment In every person cured in a public tuberculosis hospital and it's Just sound business to protect that investment. And soi our full support of the Christmas seal sale will mean the continuance of the local tuberculosis control program, the advancement of the valuable rehabilitation work and the further ing of highly necessary medical research in university and other scientific laboratories In Oregon and throughout the nation. A small but Important shBre of local money Is devoted each year to this national research. ""VNE dollar the cost of a sheet of 100 Christmas seals small sum to spend in so good a cause. Be sure to send In your check for the Christmas seals sent to YOUR home; if you can afford It, buy additional sheets. There's a place on every letter and package for at least ONE of these little tuberculosis stamps! It's a grand way to spread Christmas cheer and HEALTH! H. G. Governor Reports Fir Wooster, O. (UP.)

It is" more familiary called bed-wetting. A normal occurence or habit in infancy, of course. Some infants learn or acquire sufficient con trol over the function of micturition to become dry before they are two years old. JBut many babies contin- ue to wet the bed more or less until they are three years old, and that cannot be con sidered abnor mal. That is, there is no occasion for any kind of treatment cr special concern if the baby does not cease wetting the bed until three years of age. If the habit continues after that age, then treatment is advisable. I say the habit. Parents and others should comprehend clear ly that wetting the bed in child hood is not a "weakness" nor an illness, but in most instances merely a habit, over which the child has no more control than an adult has over, say, the con stipation habit It takes an "elo quent psychologist to convince the average victim of the latter habit that it is only a habit. I wrote asking for your monograph on bed wetting,, re ceived It and sent it to a friend whose fine boy of fifteen was afflicted, reports Mrs. H. F. D. The boy's mother had been told by the doctor in the small town where they live that the boy would never get over it. How ever, she began giving him quinine as you suggested, in the monograph, and it did the trick. He is now 16 V4 years "old, grow ing quite tall, doing fine in school, and only once in a great while for a year has the acci dent happened. . . Quinine sulphate, one grain, in capsule, pill or tablet, twice daily, before or after breakfast ond supper, for children under six years of age; . three times daily for children over eight years of age. This should be continued steadily for several months. ' " The effects of quinine have been equally satisfactory In many cases of bed wetting in children. Quinine helps to re store normal tone to the irri table nerve-muscle apparatus of the bladder-emptying function. The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper . Alliance, Inc. Washington, Dec. 11. John Nance Garner is telling his friends that, If he is not nomin ated for the presidency, he Is through with politics. Ho will retire to his Uvalde squlre archatc, there to cultivate his acres, hunt for Texas deer and angle for Texas fish after the manner of a lusty Cinclnnatus. Meanwhile he Is a candidate for keeps. Such Is the final stage of the Garner candidacy, which has gone throtiRh a curious trans formation. The shrewd, Jolly old vice president undoubtedly en tered the race with the sole In tention of accumulating enough delegates to have a powerful say in the Democratic national con vention. Hi mind was slowly changed by evidence of unsus pected Garner sentiment In Democratic national convention. His mind was slowly changed by evidence of unsuspected Gar- m'r sentiment In Democratic or 3iim?ntions all over we country XT - t II I lJ I I Now a huge, well-heeled heart- quarters at Dallas is running his campaign, and early in January, when he will go through the formal ceremony of public dis closure of his ambition, he will be talking in earnest. Furthermore, w o rd comes from circles extremely close to the White House that the presi dent himself regards Garner as lIU "my conservative ucmiH-riu Brady, M D. FOR IRKSOME HABIT It tones the inhibitory nerve center In the spinal cord which controls micturition. It will do no harm to try the quinine treatment in any case of bed wetting. But parents should send a stamped envelope bearing the correct address and ask for the monograph or pam phlet on the habit of bed wet ting. It gives other suggestions as to the character of the child's diet, drinking water, correcting the common deficiency of cal cium and vitamin D, and a clock schedule for the child to follow to train the bladder function to regularity.

Is pretty clear by now that, unless the president Intervenes," Jack Oar ner and his good friend Jim Parley will control the Democratic conven tion between them. They will have the delegntes. The Gamer candidacy Is custom arily minimized, because tt la said, quite correctly that the negroes and organized labor do not love him. But, If the negroes and organized labor are unenthuslaattc. Garner has an Immense compensating following among normally Republican voters charmed by the Impressive Garner build-up In the newspapers. Many Republican leaders are finding dis quieting truth In the white House gibe, that "Jack Garner Is the best Republlcsn candidate we have." Moreover, Garner la a colorful aa well aa a potent political person ality. He authentically has the kind of rich regional flavor that Calvin Cooltdge used for scenery. His speech would be admirable dialogue for a "down east" of the cattle country. When he wants to tell the president to let business alone, he says that the cattle might to be allowed to rest and take on fat In stead of being "choused" around Or. If he wants to boast of hla own fitness to walk 19 miles a day, he declarea. "My legs are so hard that. If a deer hunter took a pot-shot at me, the bullet wound bounce right off." These echoea of an earlier Amer ica strike Just the right engaging note for a man who Is essentlslly a "back to normalcy" candidate. Of such stuff are political assets made In fact. Garner would be an ex cellent bet If It were not for the president. The Gamer forces take the line that, so long aa Gamer Is ready to aupport any Democrat the convention chooses, the president should be wining to do the same. But the president plainly Is rot will tng to do anything of the sort. Outwardly, amlsble relations have been maintained between the two men. Only this fall, the president somewhat unwillingly gave Garner a free hand In managing revision of the neutrality act. In earlier daya. Gamer steered much new deal leg. islatlon to passage. Including. It Is worth remembering, the first great. 14 800,000.000 spending bill. But Garner's Interludes of Independence have gravely offended Roosevelt. The offense doea not find expression tn personal criticism, but In suggesUons that Garner la reactionary In his associations. Currently, th White House Is msking much of Garner's backing. B. B. Germany. Garner's campaign manager, is a leading Texaa oil man. Roy Miller, a powerful backer. Is rice president of Texas Gulf Sul phur corporation, and W. H Clark. Jr.. another backer, belongs to a rich business law firm Mn like thev. say the Whit House crowd, ar not fit aponaora for tb successor of Franklin Roosevelt. These intima tions an chiefly Important aa symp toms ot a White House attitude. Sooner or later, this attitude and Garner's political power an going to coma In conflict. Then there will be nreworka. In The Day's News V : ". : -lJ By Frank Jenkins. TTHE Daily Worker, communist newspaper published In New York, says the "plight of the Finnish people can be laid at the doorstep of President Roose velt. As an absurdity, that ranks with the statement thut big Rus sia went to war because little Finland was attacking her and she had to defend herself. THE statement that little Fin land deliberately attacked big Russia was made by com munists in Moscow. The state ment that Roosevelt is responsi ble for the sad plight of the Finns is made by communists In New York. The idea of the communist big shots seems to be something like this: "Tell the saps ANY THING. They'll believe it BE CAUSE THEY'RE SAPS." (These big shots are probably lght. Anyone who would delib erately destroy what we have in this country in order to ob tain in exchange WHAT RUS SIA HAS could hardly be classed otherwise than as a sap.) ""THIS rather interesting dis patch comes from Toronto, in Canada: "Finnish soldiers and civil ians are singing a new patriotic song of which the English trans lation Would be: 'Roosevelt le a very good man and he is coming to neip us according to Leonard SiDOnen. 35-Venr-nlH Finnish. Canadian, who has just returned irom riniand, where he went to get his daughter." Siponen savs the Finns nrp fighting against hopeless odds, convinced mat if they can hold off the Russians until enrino active help will come from the united states. If help fails to arrive, he adds, his homeland will be crushed beyond hope of restoration. IF America's strongly express- ed sympathy with Finland has led the Finns to think we're coming to help with our army and navv. if thnv'll lust hniA out long enough, it's a tragedy. Each day that passes makes it plainer that the people of the United States are determined to stay out of this war, which they had no hand in starting. A LONG that line, Robert M. " LaFollette and Ham Fish held a debate in Seattle Friday night, which turned out to be not much of a debate because the question was whether the United States should - get into the war and both debaters were on the same side. A debate on that question anywhere would probably turn out the same way. Lumber Prospect Boston, Dec. 11 (P) Joseph P. Kennedy, U.

Kelly (Continued from Pae One.) States senate; deep friendships, bitter enmities, jealousies. To a surprising extent these human qualities and failings affect na tional legislation. I TTAH'S Senator Thomas has been playing the game of labor, especially the left-wing crowd. Thomas is chairman of the committee on education and labor to which measures for amending the Wagner, labor act and complaints against NLRB have been referred. (Former Governor Martin, Oregon, re lated to this committee the ter rorism of goon squads, the final conviction of racketeering labor leaders). Senator Thomas has deliberately filibustered with his committee and prevented proposed amendments from be ing reported to the floor for action by the senate. He is prin cipally responsible for no rem edial legislation being enacted. California and its migratory labor and its Associated Farmers are not unfamiliar to Thomas. He is a fellow and visiting pro fessor of U. of C, where he was given a Ph.D. six years ago, and Southern California handed him an LL.D. in 1935. Senator Thomas is a college professor; a brain truster and writes in his biographical sketch that he is a member of the American Coun cil of Learned Societies. . IT IS within the cards that Preston Delano, formerly of Oregon, now comptroller of currency, will become a member of the Federal Reserve Board for the New England district. Delano was associated with the mu-nlclpally-owned Grants Pass-Crescent City railroad: later lived In Port lsnd, was taken to the national capital by the late Russell Hawkins. Oregon tlmberman. when Hawkins was appointed on HOLC. Upon Haw kins' death Delano was promoted to the vacancy, then made governor of the Home Loan Banks; was ap pointed comptroller of the currency and may land on the Federal Re serve Board next. With HOLC he was credited to California (not Ore gon) and Is now credited to Con necticut. APPRAISERS at Tacoma and Se attle have been ordered by Henry Morgenthau, secretary of the treasury, to make appraisal reports on wood pulp from British Columbia without regard to any question of dumping.
