It is enough to make the blood of an Old Democrat boll, and a Young Democrat to tear his hair, while waiting for his blood to come to a boil. Nom inating Mr. Willkie would be dramatic enough even to suit the occupant of the White House, who adores the spectac ular In politics. But, there is no danger of It coming to pass. It would be far too sensible. ' fretting about the war In Europe is declining as an emo tional pastime among the peo ple.

Editorial Correspondence Chicago, July 13 Business of personal and pressing na turs has seriously interfered with this correspondence the past few days. During this period we have travelled from Washing ton to New York, to Boston, to Great Barrington, Mass., and on to Buffalo, all by DAYLIGHT! This moving picture of the great industrial East hss not been particularly cheering, scores and scores of closed factories, some of them actually falling to pieces with chimneys down and window panes stoned out. Add to this many railroad sta tions in the hinterland abandoned, boarded up, and those func tioning unpainted and down-at-the-heel, doesn't indicate the long-awaited war prosperity has arrived in this section of the country as yet Some day we intend to visit Boston, instead of pass through on the run, as has been our habit of late. No more interesting and romantic city in the world than good old Boston, and it has a specisl appeal for the undersigned, as he spent five of the gayest years of his life within a few miles of the Old South Church. But for various and sundry ressons we hsd to take it between trains, again this time caticrht the Boston and Albany Went to the good old Parker last visit there having been at Mouth all watered for those Parker House rolls, eotuits and a stein of Bass, not disappointed in that direction, but the Parker House itself is no more, a modern "hostelry" has been built in its place, with express elevators, coffee shops, and uniformed factotums bowing all We did find some of the ancient oil portrait and one or two of the post-bellum air-brnsh efforts depicting the burnside whis kers of Messrs. Parker and w old Parker House has gone, Victorian institutions, where the It was interesting t stroll out of the hotel after breakfast and find yourself looking through an ancient iron fence at the headstone on the Grave of Samuel Adams 1 yes, there is the peaceful revolutionary graveyard, unchanged through all these years, on one of the busiest corners along Tremont street. Like Philadelphia the most outskirts and nowadays practically everyone who can, lives there, but the most interesting part is in the civic center. Walked around the Common in the pale moonlight, a beau tiful evening, always a shock to see the highly intellectual resi dents of this Athens of America behaving approximately as the genus homo does elsewhere, under similar conditions and bio logical urges I Had a chat with one of the editors of the Atlantic regarding Mrs. Kiasnnovsky, the Russian emigre now living in Eugene, who won the $10,000 novel priie. two weeks, guest of the Atlantic, and when she departed nothing could convince her it all had not been a special dis pensation from Heaven, a miracle performed by the Almighty himself. We have an idea she would find more support for that theory in Boston than in her native land at the present time. Before leaving New York did a One-Eyed Connolly, crash ing the gate at the exclusive Nassau Club at Glen Cove, Long Island, where we saw a chap from Oakland by the name of Kovacs, win the tennia title after five hard seta. Keep your eye on Kovacs, he haa one of the sweetest back hand strokes we have ever seen, and is apt to he tennis tops before he is old enough to vote. We pulled for our own Portland product, and it looked for a time aa tho the Beaver stater would win, hut he couldn't quite cut it. Cook is short and stocky, with unruly black hair which he tries to keep down with a comb he carries in his pants pocket, without much success. An overnicht stop in the beautiful Berkshire, even though it rained puppies and pussy kittens, was restful and pleasing. Nothing cheering here from a prosperity standpoint, however, what farming remaina being flooded out, one farmer trying to plant corn between showers on July 10th, believe it or not! Thev had a kil ing frost the end to the growing season the first of September, so few hens that eggs sell for 35s a doien and abandoned farms no longer bring a fancy price in the New York real estate market. In the horse and buggy days tions in New England, polo, huge summer estate after huge have been abandoned, styles are too expensive to keep up thickly wooded hills, with crystal clear lakes dotted through them, form one of the most charming sections of the entire country. Dairying ia the only stable industry, tho a dude ranch haa been started near North Barrington, and is declared to have been a sensational success, combining both summer snd winter sports.

MAINE IB Fit EE In this column recently, quot ing from an article punished in a leading medical Journal, I said: "Maine, with more smallpox than any other state, haa a conscientl o u s objector 1 a w In respect to vaccination. "Verm ont, which has neither a gen e r a I vaccina tion law nor even school attendance law, ts second to Maine tn the prevalence of smallpox. "Kentucky ..." The commissioner of health of the state of Maine declares this is absolutely Incorrect and libelous, and that as a matter of fact the last case of small pox in Maine waa In the year 1929. The commissioner there fore believes that I should acknowledge my error and pub lish a suitable correction. Now, having consulted the of ficial tables of the prevalence of communicable disease regu larly published In Public Health Reports of the U. S. Public Health Service, I agree with the commissioner that I owe the state of Maine an apology for a gross misrepresentation of the health standard of the state, and I hereby do apologize, and express sincere regret for the error. It goes to show that one can not rely on what one reads in a medical Journal. For that mat ter, there Is a good deal more poetry than truth In most med ical publications, especially the absurdly cooked up medical textbooks which are being pub lished nowadays by writers whose sole claim to eminence is literary industry, not out standing skill or ability as med ical practitioners. Maine, I am happy to. say. Is fine place to spend a vaca tion whether you are vaccin ated or not. Nowhere would you be less likely to be exposed to smallpox. As yet I have not heard from Vermont, Kentucky, Maryland or Manitoba, although I men tioned them all in the article to which the Maine health com missioner objected. I hope my references to these places, also taken from the medical Journal article, were correct. I said Ken tucky has or had a law prohib iting employment of unvaccin- Walker; tha celebrated new deal un tie r-cover man, David Nltes, and on or two others hava been laboring manfully to achieve aeveral rather definite objective.

Parley to atay On aa national chairman and man s? tha Democrats' campaign. Evidently it had never occurred to tha maater-mtnda tn tha Black- atone hideaway that three two ob jectives could poaalbly conflict. Thus, on tha one hand, they hava been bringing every kind of pressure on Parley to change) his mind about reinlng hie post mhen tha conven tion ands. And on tha other hand, they hava also been bringing every kind of pressure on tha Parley dele- gmtaa to desert Parlay and vote for Rooaevelt. Hopklna did not coma to sea Par ley until some time after ha had arrived in Chicago. Tha president haa not communicated with Parley, di rectly or indirectly, sine their In- trview st Hyde Park. Parley haa not been consulted one by the maater mlnda before any of their major de cisions. Vet while Ms master-ratnda are busily putting the alow-bum on Parley with one hand, they are plucking at Hie Sleeve with the other and asking him to coma along and be a nice fellow.

FROM SMALLPOX ated persons, even prohibiting unvaccinated persona from crossing the state line. Mary land vaccinates all infanta in the first year of life the best time for vaccination and re quires vaccination certificates from all school children. Mani toba quarantines conscientious objectors to vsccination in time of epidemic, exempts persons whose religion holds vaccination unnecessary. The quarantining of persons who do not believe in vaccina tion has but one effect, it seems to me, and that is protection of persons who neglect to be vaccinated. It is certainly not advantageaua for persons who believe in and are vaccinated for they have nothing to fear from spossible exposure to smallpox. If you ask me about vaccina tion I say the state should offer vaccination . to everyone who wants it. and if anybody does not want it that is all the state should do about it. As long ss I am well vaccinated I don't care whether you elect to take your chances unvaccinated.

Communications Ean. Heli Quoud To th. Editor: t submit a portion of a letter Just received trom Sen. Holt of West Virginia, as I believe It to be of goners! interest. Sen. Holt s letter follows: "There are too many indi cations that there are certain government officials who are intervening in the quarrels of Europe. If tha war continues snd the Intervention policy con tinues, the I'm ted states will be "in the war. That would be mass suicide. It is said we must enter the war to save democ racy. We were told that 25 years ago and instead of democracy being saved, dictatorship sprang up throughout th, world. "Today, w are told that this is a battle for civilization. We were told the same thtng 2J years ago. We know our en trance in this wsr will destroy our democrsry here and will hurt civilization. We must keep our country at peace as a g'ow- ing sign for the entire world to see that democracy does pay, that democracy can work. We are told that we are in danger of a German attack. Part of this fear is sincere, but not informed. "Part of this fear is generated propaganda to put us in this conflict st once. Turn back the pages of the newspapers to 1915 and 1918 and the same cry can be found. The greatest authori ties on military, naval and air defense say we cannot be suc cessfully Invaded, but let us pre pare our defenses at once so that no foreign power can set i up a bsse on the American con tinent. None have been estab lished and until they are. no ef fective attack can be made. "Remember, the United States can get into this war either by a declaration of war by congress or by creating and provoking in cidents that cause an act of war to be committed by another country. Let us stop these ac tions that may cause such an act. Hysteria has been deliberately spread to get the people ready for war. The penalty for the conclusion of such a policy Is death and disaster. Shall we sacrifice our finest young men on tne battlefields of Europe in snother ever-occurring European war? I say no." Senator Rush D. Holt has de livered speeches on this subject in tne senate and over the radio. One radio speech brought him more than 25,000 requests for copies. This outstanding speech and discussions in the senate are available for the asking. Merely address a postal card or letter to Sen. Rush D. Holt, Senate Of, fice Bldg.. Washington, D. C. The time to work for peace is now. while we are still at peace. ARIEL BURTON POME ROY, Central Point, Ore. Always a Fifth Column To the editor: We have always had "fifth column" activities in this coun try, the differences being only in the degree of effectiveness. Witness the "Tories" during the Revolutionary war, the "Copperheads" during the Civil war and those who stirred up strife against our government during the World war and prfor to our entry therein; and I doubt if so much as the major portion of them were foreigners. I well remember a day in July 24 years ago, when I stood in line in the Preparedness day parade at San Francisco wait ing for the starting signal and heard the explosion, only three blocks away, that wiped out the lives of 10 people and in jured 43 more. The first inkling that I had of what had occurred was the sight on the pavement before me of the lower half of a woman's shoe filled with blood. The two men who were con victed of this outrage are of American birth, as is the gov ernor who recently pardoned them. Since the principal "martyr" of this duo has been released from jail, he has drop ped from sight and his name no longer appears in newspaper headlines. Why? His name is no longer useful for the purpose of stirring up antagonism against our Institutions and some other martyrs must oe brought forward. Albert Burcn.
