A hot wave hit the state yes. and in several cities citizens were amazed when the chair got up when they did. The nation is united behind the President's policy of all aid short of American blood to the Allies, and preparedness at home. Also it wants results this time for vast spending of huge sums. It will not be delighted with a war tank yanked out of a plug-hat, or nagging of Henry Ford by the lady secretary, in fulfillment of his promise to pro duce 1,000 planes per day.

Make Every Day Flag Day CVENTS of recent weeks people of the United States in no uncertain terms the real blessings of American citizenship. We have witnessed the people of other . lands herded into bloody conflict at the whims of despots. Lust for power greed for territory have plunged much of the world into war and chaos. We have seen the fifth column technique applied in many unfortu nate countries silent, thorough, destructive. We have watched with distress the harvest of religious intolerance. A MERICA is unique among all nations. This uniqueness arises from the fact that the PEOPLE of America ARE THE GOVERNMENT! Americans can make their own political decisions, establish their own laws and govern their own con duct Americans are free to speak their own minds; their press is free of restrictions that would stultify clear individual and collective thinking. Americans are free to worship as their hearts dic tate and are tolerant of the religious beliefs of their neighbors. Americans have the good fortune to live in a land where their personal property and the dignity of their personal rights are held inviolable. These, and many others, are the privileges of American citizenship basic, constitutional rights. And the symbol of this priceless heritage is the STARS AND STRIPES 1 FRIDAY, June 14th, is Flag Day. At no time in this nation's history have the free people of the United States had greater cause to celebrate this birthday of their flag. It has long been a beacon of hope to the poor, to the oppressed and persecuted; it symbolizes those principles of freedom, justice and liberty that stand forth in sharper contrast than ever before with the obvious doctrines of other nations. Flag Day should be but a start of a patriotic re vival that will make ALL Americans conscious of all their flag stands for and doubly vigilant in its defense. The stars and Stripes every home, in every office, ing, not just on Flag Day, but EVERY DAY I It should become the challenge of a UNITED people to fifth columnist and pinks canism with some other brand of "ism." FLAG DAY next Friday is a good time for every man wnman artA niM r.i.Annnr.asl rrv liva Kano-af Vt Old Glory to reaffirm this American schoolrooms : "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands ; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

So he isn't saying anything except the Ore gon delegation is pledged to the senior Senator and it's McXary or nothing. However, we can report this as considerably stronger than grapevine, the New York battery to "where ture book he is getting more backing here just now than anyone. But even at the old reliable cal talk. It is all war, war and more war. Italy went into the war the morning we arrived, and the latest report is Paris is burning down. No doubt about about the latter. Who cares about is falling about one s ears I Much to our surprise we find one ot the shewdest amateur politicians in Portland agrees with us regarding President lioosevelt, but not for the same reasons. .In faot, his view is so original it might be worth quoting. Because of th European war and the administration's outspoken sympathy for the allies, he is convinced the smart boys at the. convention won't nomi nate K. l. li. because the German and Italian vote would be , against him. That is a XKW one, and frankly rather spikes the claim our friend is a shrewd politician. However, that is his view and that is his local reputation. We grant it looks more like Koosevelt, candidate for third term than ever before, still we have a strong conviction he really doesn't wish V be President for four more years, and in the final showdown won't be. Xothing, we admit, but a hunch and a rather contrary nature to support that view at the present writing. Yes, it's hot, also humid. not pleasant atmosphere for long sessions in a downtown hotel, with no matters of any par ticular moment coining up at this particular time. After SIT tinif and SKTting for a long time, one arises slowly only to find the undertaker's chair tries to come up with you! Nevertheless, th aimimer time ia the time to see Portland.

Flowers, trees, lawns and beautiful home after beautiful home.

EVERYONE FOR HIMSELF ABOUT THE CRI For many years I have been striving to make the public spray conscious, believing that recognition of this usual mode of infection is essential for prevention of most of the 111 n e s a doctors attend. A consider able portion of the population and even some public health i author! ties have accepted or corroborat ed my observ ations and teachings so far as cough-spray and sneeze spray are concerned, and intelligent people today have a healthy fear of this hazard. But I have never gotten beyond first base with the profession or the pub lic in the endeavor to convince them that ordinary polite con versational spray to which one Is more or less exposed in every day life constitutes a greater hazard because in the present state of ethics one never can tell whether the person with whom he chats is a conscienti ous citizen or a scoundrel that is, whether he or she frankly acknowledges he has the cri or tries to conceal it or pass it off as something harmless. The censor silenced me when I sough to teach this principle of personal prophylaxis to radio listeners, in a series of health talks I gave over a national radio chain; the idea, he opined, was unpleasant for women and children. The reality of cough-spray and sneeze-spray forced itself upon popular and professional consciousness years ago because any fool could feel and see the droplets in such spray. Now, at last, tne reality of conversational spray may be recognized, at least by the In telligent portion of the popula tion. The other day the lay press carried news and pictures showing sneeze spray as pic tured by high-speed, stop-motion photographs, spray which, ac cording to the professor who made the study, has a muzzle velocity of 150 feet a second and contains thousands of drop lets l-2S0th of an inch In diam THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP Rsltastd by th North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc. Washington, June 12. "The wheel has come full circle, but perhaps too late." Thus the situation was sadly summed up by a wise senator, as he left the floor Monday to go home, and to listen to the president's ad dress to the nation. And thus the event proved, when the president spoke. Th president's address waa aa clear, bold and magnificently phrased an utteranc aa any he haa ever made. Thos who listened to It hardly need to be told that It waa an authentic expression of feeling: the emotion of the man could be heard, almost, between th sentences. tt only completes the picture, and sharpens th contrast with the strangely petty and hesitating fire side chat of a few weeks ago. to say the addreee Is also one of the few which the president hsa written en tirely with his own hand. A rough draft waa prepared Sunday night. In the heat of espectauon that Italy would enter the war. After consul tation with stat department ofn clala a final version was completed Mondsy artemoon. In the cold fury of certainty. Nor were th president' words more than a summing up of th ernt tmenta of the country at larg. Her. In W'asntngton. In these Isat weeks. It haa seemed Incredible that nation al opinion could change so fsst. or national emotion rlae with such fore and swiftness. Yet th Incred ible hsa been made credible; belief haa been forced, by the constant ex pressions of opinion with which or. dlnary Amerlcsn citlrens hsv de luged member of congress. These are not crank letters or begglne letters, or job-seeking letters, or letter, from Interested persons de sirous of a tariff on thla or a con cession on thst.

They ar mora moving to read than th moat eloquent oratory. And they had already begun to more the Ira Tnovb'. some time ago, for the pre lude to the president's speech ass a statement from Senator Arthur H Vandenaerg. most srtlcu'at o the laolauoalata, through the verbiage eg Brady. M. O. eter, each droplet laden with millions of germs. The pictures of the sneeze indicate that the range of the spray must be many feet. I regret that no picture of conversational spray was published. But I can state, with scientific investigation of 'the question to back my teach ing, that the only difference be tween sneeze spray and quiet conventional spray Is a matter of power conversational spray carries less than five feet, con sists of a smaller number of droplets. Loud or boisterous conversation, shouting, laugh ing, has a range of four or five feet; quieter conversation ordi narily shoots spray only two or three feet. I don't know how to engage in everyday business and social life without getting peppered now and then by some ignora mus or scoundrel lay or med ical. But I do believe intelli gent appreciation of the hazard of conversational spray arms one with an additional safe guard against respiratory infec tion. QltSTIONS AND ANSWCRA. Head Drbnued.

Por the last ten dsys Informed men here have anUclpated that th pressure of pub lic opinion wo-tld aoon fore an ef fort of thla sort, tn private, many members of congress hsv wondered why the president did not propose It before. And If th allied cause Is not lost In these neat dsys and week, there can be little doubt that congress will overwhelmingly approve any presi dential effort to put the country on a wartime basis for the allies' assist ance.

Hitler HASN'T WON THE WAR. A CENTURY ago Napoleon had Europe more thorough ly broken, disorganized and conquered than Hitler has, but because he couldn't destroy the British fleet he lost in the long run and went into exile. AT THIS point you may ask why, if fleets are so all powerful, the Germans are win ning so steadily In spite of the combined British and French fleets. The fighting now is on land, where warships can't go. But without commerca NATIONS STARVE, and the bulk of Inter national commerce moves by water. If he can't control the seas. Hitler will lose in the long run, just as Napoleon did. DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. speaking on the day of Italy's entrance into the war on the side of the Germans, says: "We (the U. S. will pursue two obvious and SIMULTANE OUS courses. We will extend to the opponents of force (mean ing Britain and France) the material resources of this na tion and at the same time we will harness and speed up the use of these resources in order that we ourselves In the Amer icas may have equipment and training equal to the task of ANY EMERGENCY and every defense."
