An Eastern Oreaon editorial
writer i in great travail, as the
fancy writers say, and is under
going considerable mental and
emotional wear and tear in an
effort to swallow the third term
egotism without doing so. The
acceptance speech of Mr. Wlllkie
"bluntly gave renewed vigor to
the issue (3rd term) which 1 have
ardently been hoping dead." It
looks like he would be busy
until snow flies holding coro

Meet Paul Hauser Jr.
Saletn statesman Columnist Who
Ooes Swimming
'Swimming is a habit which
comes naturally to fish, frogs
and some fowl. Most dogs and
horses, some cows and most of
the lesser apes also swim,
whether they like It or not, on
contact with water. Men also
swim.
"On the whole, fish are better
swimmers than men, though we
once knew fellow named Gil
llngsby who claimed he outdis
tanced a salmon over a mile
course, including three fish lad
ders and a water hazard. We
had no reason to disbelieve his
statement at the time.
"Men must learn to swim,
which Is where fish hae the
upper fin. This is a handicap
which some men are able to
orercome. It is often said ol
such persons that 'He swims
like a fish.' It is sometimes
said of some men that 'He
drinks Ilk a fish,' but there
Is no apparent parallel here.
Although it had been recorded
in the works of Grimpius. the
Roman lchthyoulogist, that sc
easionally a carping carp has
been heard to remark In slur
ring tones of another fish that
'He swims like a man.' no fish
has erer been heard to say that
'He drinks like a man.'
"Men. on the whole, drink
much easier than fish, which is
where men have It on the fish.
"Considering the problem from
all angles, Including the obtuse,
however, it must be recorded
that fish, on the whole or in
filets, have a much easier time
In their relations with water
than men.

Stalin Gets
THE wonder isn t that Stalin finally got Trotsky, but ,
haf Via failed tn opt him Inner hpfnre. I
.i.u. i x a w " ww J- ------ ' O - -
It has been a decade since Trotsky broke with 1
the "man of steel" and became a refugee from the
OGPU. During that time he has wandered pretty
much over the face of the earth, finally finding sanc
tuary in Mexico.
There has been no doubt about Trotsky's efforts
to so undermine Stalin's hold on the red rank and file,
both at home and abroad, that he could someday re
turn to Moscow, and carry on that long-delayed world
revolution along the line of Lenin's original dream.
EVERYWHERE Trotsky went he gathered ardent
followers, for he was a man of keen intelligence,
strong will, and uncompromising devotion to the com
munistic ideal. And throughout the world, outside of
Russia, the communists were pretty much divided be
tween pro and anti-Trotskyites, which must have
been gall and wormwood to the Oriental despot in the
Kremlin. '
So it IS strange that Trotsky escaped as long as he
did, considering Stalin's deep hatred, the world
wide extension of his secret service, and the numerous
ways in which a more or less friendless wanderer
might be done in.
The fact that it took a decade for Stalin to "get his
man," speaks well for the resourcefulness and
shrewdness of the hero of the Russian counter revolu
tion, and his ability wherever he went to gather
around him loyal and self-sacrificing followers and
friends.
It is doubtful, however, if Trotsky's tragic death
will have any REAL effect upon the revolutionary
situation either in Russia or the world.
A decade in such matters is a long, long time !
Good Work,-Rufus!
rAY by day in every way, Senator Holman is
growing in statesmanlike stature.
The other day Mark Sullivan, the veteran column
ist, devoted several paragraphs to Oregon's junior
senator, declaring that his stand on the selective draft
measure represented that distinguished body at its
best.
This was quite an honor, and Rufus deserved it
INSTINCTIVELY the junior Senator opposed any
sort of war draft in peace time. His horror of war,
his aversion to regimentation, his passion for personal
freedom all joined in putting him at the forefront of
the initial opposition.
But the more he studied the situation the more he
learned regarding the dangers facing this country
and the best methods of resisting them, the more con
vinced he became that some sort of selective draft
should be adopted.
He didn't like it. He was flooded with wires and
letters against it. But he disregarded all pressure
groups and his own predilections, in favor of what he
believed to be best for his country in the present
serious crisis.
AS Mark Sullivan noted, such a spirit of true patriot

The Oregon senator's loyal and courageous action
was in the finest tradition of the "greatest deliber

sent an outstanding credit mark in his public record.
So Cheer Up!
AT last there is something for an optimist to bite on,
except his own wishful thinking.
H. R. Knickerbocker, original pessimist regarding
allied chances in this war, declares the British air
force, man-to-man, is vastly superior to the German
air force. He adds that the casualty reports from the
British war office are as accurate as the difficulties
of factual reporting allow.
ELL, that's a great relief.
" This department has, from the first, been ex
tremely skeptical regarding official air reports from
both sides. We haven't doubted the Germans had
getting them first.

if it should be obtained temporarily by mere force of
numbers, it could never be held.
And superiority and permanent control must be
held if Per Fuehrer is ever to get to first base. So
here is real justification for the proponents of world
democracy and human decency cheering up a bit!

PHYSIOLOGY
Although it is not known
whether cilcium (lime) In water
is assimilated and utilized by the
body, we do
know that the
amount of cal
cium or lime
rmC ? in even the
fj,t mV U hardest drink
ing water is
inisgnificant in
the amount of
water one can
drink, and that
the only thing
that matters in
regard to the
use of hard
water for drinking purposes is
the taste if the water is satis
factory in taste its hardness is
of no consequence.
People who hesitate to drink
hard water, or put themselves to
any inconvenience or expense to
procure soft water or distilled
water for drinking purposes, for
fear of getting high blood pres
sure, hardening of the arteries,
stone in kidney or any other
imaginary effect of "too much
lime," are ill informed or ill ad
vised. So far as deposits of calcare
ous, chalky or limey material in
the arteries or other body tissues
are concerned, we know these
are only a late effect of degener
ation in such tissues and cannot
be regarded as either direct or
indirect cause of the degenera
tion. Again, so far as hardening of
the arteries is concerned, there
is considerable evidence that at
least a contributing cause in
some instances is prolonged or
habitual shortage of calcium
(lime) in the diet. It is certain
that an optimal or better-than-average
daily Intake of calcium
tends to prolong youth and post
pone the degeneration of senil
ity. Far from getting too much
calcium or lime, whether in
food,, water or medicine, chil
dren in their 'teens, young
adults and mature adults gener
ally get insufficient calcium, in
the consensus . of opinion of
nutrition authorities and well
informed physicians today.
According to present know
ledge a child in the 'teens must
assimilate daily about 15 grains
of calcium, a mature adult 10 to
12 grains, for optimal nutrition.
As scarcely half of the calcium
ingested in food or medicine is
assimilated under the most fa
vorable conditions, this means
that at least twice the amount
mentioned must be taken in
Portland. Ore., Aug. ?2 Of
all the voting groups in Oregon
greatest weight Is possessed by
iabor organized labor. How the
labor vote will go, whether for
Mr. Roosevelt or ths Willkie
McNary ticket, is a controvers
ial subject. One fact appears
clear; labor In Oregon Ir not a
unit, is not likely to vote solid
ly for one ticket or the other.
Therefore the problem resolves
itself Into where the majority of
labor will nestle on the day of
balloting next November. On
this point no agreement can be
found among politically minded
union men.
American Federation of La
j bor has made it a practice not

I CIO has no such inhibition and
has followed the recomirienda

in 1936. was also followed by

daily, in one form or another. A
quart of milk contains nearly 15
grains of calcium. Cheese, any
and es-ery kind, is an excellent
source of calcium. So are dried
beans, string beans, soy beans,
I beet greens, cabbage, lettuce,
kale, okra, tomatoes, peanuts
filberts, almonds, walnuts, oat
meal, plain wheat, celery, car
rots, turnips.
For assimilation of calcium
(whether in food or medicine) an
adequate daily intake of vitamin
D is essential. Of course the vita
min D manufactured in the body
when the naked skin is exposed
to direct sunlight or to ultra
violet rays from artificial
sources promotes assimilation
and utilization of calcium, and
this holds true for adults as well
as for infants or children.
Calcium diminishes capillary
permeability, and so lessens in
flamatory exudation this ac
counts for its beneficial effect in
moist or weeping eczema, in
chilblains, in hay fever and
many cases of hyperesthetic
rhinitis with constant watering
at the nose.
Calcium promotes normal clot
ting of blood, optimal intake
tends to prevent excessive bleed
ing or oozing from trifling in

Our doctor Inlonns us that the
diathermy method of removing ton

remove the entire tcnsll but leaves

removes the entire tonsil, aa a rule.
Some tonsil tlsaue la almost Invar

that the diathermy method hae been
discarded on the contrary It la the
method of choice with more good
physicians now than ever before. But
not every doctor or near-doctor who

diathermy has the training or the
skill for the difficult method. Select
your doctor at your own risk, when
I know of a reliable doctor In your

onably accurst rew Enfllth planes
have been ahot down, and one-third
of th all-Important pllota ot lost
planes survive to fight aaln. Ger
man losses on the other hand are
estimated at between IS and 30 per
cent of every squadron sent over.
This being so. the American experts

The expert have their fingers
tWhtly created. They still think the
chances are even that English re

But they have at least revised their
opinion of a week ago. that the
collapse of English resistance waa
probable tn a few daya or a couple
of weeks.
AS these men aummartse the sit
uation to date, Germany has
made two Important gains, but gams
which were Inevitable from the start.
Operating from bases along the
French and elTlan coasts, German
planea have virtually stopped the
convoys of trawlers aid other email
veeeels In which supplies brought
Into the west coast porta were form
erly trana-ehlpped to the port of
London. In the same fashion, the
more exposed channel porta have
teen m8de untenable for all but a
few English naval veseela. Since the
protective force must thus be sta
tioned at a greater distance from
the dancer point, the German chances
of affecting a surprise crossing of
the channel have been aomewhat Increased.

what Is thought to encouraging
-Oermany haa strikingly 'ailed to
make other Important gains which
were also thought to be Inevitable.
Damage don in England has been
extraordinarily negligible, so far aa
American obsenera can learn. H
strategic factories have been put out
of commission, and while Croydon
and on r two other London air
port ha- been damaged, no R-AT.
baa haa been rendered useless. Cer

hav been chipped and nicked, but
It la th English plan, tn any case,
to resort entirely to motor transport
If need be. The London docks are
still Inuct. a:thoujrh their usefulness

stoppag of convoy in the channel.
Thua. to date, the R AT. haa ahown

protecting England. Furthermore, th

And because the squadrons of tn

from Scotland and the north of Eng

pation of the Shetlsnd. rare and
Orkney Wands under cover of air
attacks on aouth English center doe
not yet seem to be practicable In
