The ex-mayor and political boy wonder of Klamath Falls has mounted the ramparts to purge the left-wing Democrats of Oregon. This is another case where the public don't care who loses, as long as it is both of them. SO IT SEEMS (Band Bulletin) "The visit of an army bomber under the command of a trout fishing enthusiast, has the same aspect as the in spection of state Institutions at Pendleton by the board of control at the time of the Round-Up." Summer has came, causing the Older Girls to deliberate on what to do about it, and how. ... Quite a few citizens have be come so excited about the war In Europe, they read the front page before they do the funnies. ... FDR. In reply to a Republican request he issue a "no third term" pledge, countered with cool politeness, and regrets, "he has Just now no time for the preparation of political state ments." It shouldn't take over three seconds, with a wave of the hand, and one tilt of the chin to utter: "My Friends! Nothing Doing!" ... THE MUFFLED KNOCK (Sheridan (Ore.) Sun) "C. A. Temple of Portland sent us religious literature, 'Is Man Immortal.' The caterpil lars are with us also. A se rious pest. I remember one year. 1901, when painting Tom Davis' barn In North Plains, my paint was half caterpil lars." (M. Petersen, corr. 87 years.) . The Craters squelched a Klam ath ball team under the lights last night. Several chances to pull the switch, and steal second were overlooked by both teams A Portland candidate for county assessor was nominated though he campaigned by giving dancing lessons in Idaho. This is a warning to the American people to be careful, and elect the right man constable in the fall, lest It be used as an alibi to go to war with Bulgaria. ... The, House Rules Committee took a recess yesterday, thus balking action on a bill to deport H. Bridges, the Tacitic Coast alien headache, to his native Australia. As the specinl pet of Madam Pevkins. labor secretary, the nicest thing are always hap pening in behalf of Mr. Bridges Mme. Lupescu On Way To America New York. May 23. A Paris dispatch to the New York Daily News sas that Mme Magda Lupescu, one time sweet heart of King Carol of Ru mania, has arrived in southern Trance on her way to the Uni ted States. The newspaper said It was learned that Carol and the wo man for whom he divorced his queen have ended their long standing love affair. Closing llmi In Too Law to CU atfj Ada la IM g. a. It's a Big "If IF the war in Europe keeps going on this way, which everyone prays it doesn't, here is our predic tion : Within six months Uncle Sam will be in a spot! Not, 5s generally supposed, however, from the direc tion of Germany. But from the direction of Japan. For if the war keeps on this way, yesterday's good news now has been followed by bad, Germany is going to be top dog in Europe before snow flies. And as soon as that fact is clearly established, even if it should not be permanent, Japan, as we view it, will follow Italy to be in at the kill. And her first move will be to grab the Dutch East Indies, which possesses so many raw materials she wants. And then, obviously, the United States would have to go into action, or abandon her announced policy regarding the Pacific. UOWEVER, all this is predicted upon the assump- tion the war keeps on this way, which we still believe isn't going to be the case. Apparently the Germans never lost Abbeville, as reported, and have now taken the vital channel port of Boulogne. But one fact that was true yesterday remains true today, the DECISIVE battle has not yet been fought. And until it has been there is hope, not only that the danger in the Pacific never materializes, but that Hitler will never reach either London or Paris! There Is a "TO crush Hitlerism, Britain adopts it!" This might pass as a catchy front page banner for the "Daily Worker," but it is hardly accurate. What happened in London yesterday was an adoption of the totalitarian principle, as an emer gency war measure, all resources, public and pri vate, placed under one control, and that control a one-man government. But there is this important difference between what England now has and Germany has had for half a decade. the supreme power still rests in the hands of the British people through their Parliament. In other words, in view of this supreme national crisis, the people of England give supreme powers to the Churchill government, but they retained the right to take back those powers or transfer them to some other individual any time they wish. Theoretically Germany has state socialism. So has England. But there is this vital difference, Hit ler and his Nazi gangsters grabbed dictatorial powers; Churchill and his coalition government were given them. Materially and technically the two governments might be called the same, but spiritually there is a vast difference. What a Headache! C HADES of the late T. R.I Are the worthy veterans of that gallant Bull Moose campaign to be left no illusions whatever? Now we are told that the late Richard Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior under Taft, was not only a very able and patriotic administrator, but a shame fully abused one, the crusade against him by Teddy's "Christian Soldiers" was in plain English, a crooked and callous frame-up. Instead of the Seattle corporation lawyer being the individual with a pitchfork and a tail, these dia bolical gadgets should have been worn by the sainted Gifford Pinchot, and his brother-in-crime, the repre hensible and unprincipled Louis R. Glavis! Watson the needle ! And also if you please a cou ple of aspirins! XHY it seems only yesterday that under the in- spiring and idealistic leadership of Norman Hap good, James R. Garfield, Mark Sullivan, Bainbridge Colby, W. A. Perkins, and other "White Knights" of the Progressive movement, we burned the detestable Ballinger in effigy and saved our natural resources from the malefactors of great wealth, for the great glory and lasting benefit of that generation and generations as yet unborn. And now not only was Secretary Ballinger com pletely innocent, but there wasn't even any coal in Alaska worth fighting over! It is certainly a pretty tough strain on the hardened arteries of some of us "older boys."

FEMININE If I had his picture of course that would convince everybody that I actually interviewed the visitor from Mars shortly be fore he took off on his re turn Journey to the home planet. Unfor tunately I was so intent on fretting his views on div ers problems that I neglect ed to ask for his picture. But no matter. our artist can make a line drawins; which will do as well anything that will fit his imagination, or mine or yours and the space available. This may seem farfetched at first, but constant repetition will unquestionably establish it in the minds of a good many people as an accepted fact. Re member how seriously a por tion of the population took the first rumor of the arrival of the man from Mars. These comments are inspired by an item sent by a reader. The reader asks why I do not advise women about feminine hygiene. The item contains as the center of interest a line drawing of a dame, or mavbe a damsel, in her bath, and the legend around the picture ap prises the ' gullible sex that "this fastidious woman deems it necessary to be as clean in side as out." Now the man in the moon I mean the man from Mars, had no ulterior purpose in giving the interview. He merely found the denizens of Earth pedomor phic and wished to observe their reaction to the bogeyman. But this Tess o' the Tub who wants to make . Dumb Dora think it Is fastidious and es sential to "be as clean inside as out" intends to sell Dora a gold brick, and by gosh, unless Dora buys the brick the fasti dious one will discontinue teaching feminine hygiene. Come to think of it or rath er, in point of fact I do advise women about hygiene. In the first place hygiene l.as no gen der. You may be reasonably certain that anything purport ing to be "feminine hygiene" is not essential for health or does not prevent disease. Certainly there is no sense in the gratui tous suggestion that "inside" washing, bathing, douching or other "refreshing, cleansing and deodorizing is necessary or ad THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP Ralaasad by tha North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc. Washington, May 23. If Ger- many wins a decisive victory, j the strategic position of the United States will approximately! resemble that of Great Britain' before the development of air power. As yet air power cannot be used for an effective attack on this hemisphere, and unless European nations can establish; bases in the Americas our de fense problem will be primarily a problem of sea distances and naval power. The vital factor inj it will be the fate of the British fleet, which may either (1 es- cape to the Americas, or (2 be; destroyed or scuttled, or (31 fall! into German hands. The lesson of these tragic days is that the worst that may hap pen should be considered first It is now time, as the men of mud and blood march onward in Europe, to examine perfectly cold-bloodedly what the third of the above alternatives may mean 1 to us. For this purpose the bestj available authorities have been consulted, and their opinion is here transscribod. I The thought of the Brlttih fleet In Oermsn hands Is the worst night- I mare of every man In th American state denartmert and defense aerv. , u-e.

M. D. HYGIENE vlsable for perfect health. In several monographs I have for women I advise about douching and other questions of concern to a woman's health. Any one of these will be mailed on request if you inclose a stamped envelope bearing your address. For more than one, inclose ten cents coin for each three. One is about Menstru ation. One ia about Tumor and Displacement. One is about Leu corrhea. One is about Meno pause. Moreover I am always glad to answer any question a feminine correspondent cares to ask, confidentially and frankly provided she incloses a stamped (3c) envelope bearing her address. Of course I am concerned only about physiol ogy, hygiene, psychology, health and happinessdo not ask me for economic ethical, moral, re ligious or legal information or advice. It would be much better for the health and happiness of girls and women if they were not so gullible as to the way the snobs live.

Its short ness makes all tha clearer tha des perate Importance of Immediate re armament o& a scale far greater and more complete than waa pro vided by tha president's defense re quests to congress, with adequate rearmament, we can at least defend our own and the Canadian boiders. although we shall hardly be able to prevent Oermany and her allies from aetslng vastly Important stra tegic baaea and occupying areaa which we have always rexsrded aa within our apeclal sphere or In fluence. Still supposing the British fleet falls Into Oermsn hands, the first step our navy will have to take will be to abandon Important outlying positions, if oermany. Italy and Ja pan agree to act In concert, this will be neoessary Immediately. Even before th Brttlrt fleet can be mn ned by Oermsn crew, ther will be no way to prevent the Japanese from taking what they want In the East Indies, and the Malay peninsula, from wreaking ther wlli on Austrslta and New Zealand, and from cutting off our auppllea of rubber and tin. In the Atlantic meanwhile, such distant bsses aa the Azores, and the Cp Verde and Fslkisnd Islands may be taken. If they choose, by the Oermans and Italians. And there III be little to binder the Oermens and Italians, using their existing fleets and the fifth columns they slrearty have tn thoae countrle. from Infringing th Independence of Brazil. Uruguty and th Argentine. Then, when th British net Is i flnsllv manned with Oerman crewa. the real danger will begin, tn the intermediate period, it ill be pos sible to defend Hawaii, a strong baa which only needs an open lln of supplies from the mslnlsnd.

To-fora the great majority of tha navy will b brought Into tha At lantic, leaving Hawaii and Alaska at tha mercy of the Japanese. Tha whole Atlantic ooast will have to be da. fended, slnoe so much of our war Industry la concentrated near It In New - England. But If tha attack oomes. tha main point of defense wui be tha Caribbean. Tha defenae will be lass dim cult than tha layman might Imagine, since we will have land bases lor planes, and the attackara will have none. It la thought that the Carib bean ttaelf can be defended. Al though It la acknowledged that with our whole fleet In tha Atlantic there alii be grave danger of a Japanese raid. It Is also thought that the Panama canal cannot be destroyed. But all of South America may cer tainly be lost, and will than become a point of departure for later oper ations. .All tbla may seem far-fetched, yet aucb la the picture conjured up. by a possibility now actually looming ahead. In the minds of wise men whose business It Is to understand these matters. It la not .a pretty pic ture, and It demands a great nauonal effort, of preparedness. In The By Frank Jenkins CPECIAL legislation in Brit ain, adopted by parliament almost without discussion, con scripts labor and wealth, as well as fighting manpower. The ministry of labor is empowered to direct any person to perform any service required. Property must also be placed at the state's disposal. Such is war, which tends in evitably in the direction of dic tatorship. A French counter-attack wins j back Arras, dangerously close to the English Channel I Premier Reynaud, after talk-1 ing with Commander m-Chief Weygand, expresses confidence. "I repeat to you," he says in a broadcast to the nation, "that if we can hold for one month and we WILL HOLD for what ever time is necessary we will have traveled three-fourths of the road to victory." Optimism rises in Paris, and the bulls take command of the New York stock exchange at its opening this (Wednesday) morning. (Don't fool yourself about the stock market. It will skid again at the first cold breath of un favorable news. If armies had no more courage than specula tors, there would be few vic tories.) a N OTE this paragraph from As sociated Press general war "The fighting In northern France Is described as highly confused, partaking of the na ture of a general melee, with opposing units operating far be hind each other's lines." The broken field In a football game still applies. If you can tell in the midst of broken field running who is going to win the game, you are competent to make a guess as to the out come of the great battle in France and Belgium. ANOTHER Associated Press dispatch: "In the past five days, the American Red Cross has cabled SI. 100.000 to Paris and is speed ing its campaign to raise ten million dollars for war relief work." IF YOU want to DO SOME- thing (as who doesn't?) make your contribution IMMEDIATE LY to the Red Cross. This newspaper will receive and ac count for Red Cross contribu tions and will turn the money over to the Red Cross organiza tion. J7INAL note, about noon Wed r nesday: Mussolini still hasn't gone in. So, you see. there Is still doubt in informed quarters as to the outcome of the great battle that is expected to de cide the war.

There 1 no disposition, at this time, of depriving labor of collec tive bargaining, but- no union will be permitted to "run" a plant fill ing government orders.
