Some Democrats Prefer Willkie
ACCORDING to Paul Mallon, the well known
" Washington columnist, Mrs. Jim Farley and
Jim's brother will both vote for Wendell Willkie.
What Jim will do is not known, and will not be
known, if Jim can help it. But the Farley family as
a whole is off the reservation, as is the Gamer family,
and scores of other life-long Democrats. They will
say nothing for publication but they are fervently
praying that this coming November, the violator of
the Jeffersonian third term tradition will be Knocked
into the middle of next week.
'THIS Democratic defection is going to be a more
important factor in the result than most of the
political prophets realize. For it is not only a silent
vote, it is a hidden vote.
No life long Democrat cares' to advertise the fact,
he intends to vote against Roosevelt for four more
years. But when he enters the polling booth that
is going to be his verdict.
And this action will not be due to the fact he cares
for his party any less, but he cares for his country
MORE.
A NYONE who is skeptical of this has only to move
"about the country a bit, to have it removed. There
are literally thousands of good loyal Democrats, who
have supported Franklin Delano Roosevelt for two
terms who will refuse to support him for a third,
largely on the ground that in their judgment, in a
Democracy, eight years for one man in the White
House is ENOUGH!
They are not saying anything about it, but when
the time comes to mark their ballot, that is the way
they are going to vote ! .
So don't get too confident, you Third Term optim
ists, that the Democratic registration is going to repre
sent the Democratic vote.
A Good Politican?
A FRIEND inquires if we
q crrri T.r.lif innn
U ISSV jVtViVlUUt
That depends upon how one defines the term. If
by "good politician" one means, a good straddler, a
good pussyfooter, a good
rabble rouser, Wendell Willkie certainly isn t.
And if one means a veteran in political experience
and vote getting manipulation, it's no again. Mr.
Willkie is a rank novice in practical politics.
And thirdly if a good politician, has to be all things
to all men, say one thing in
and another in another, never saying anything that
might lose him votes, then the Republican candidate
comes close to being a total loss.
DUT we are not so sure that outline represents a
good politician. We have an idea that the people
of this country as a whole are pretty well fed up on
that type of professional slicker, who hasn't a real
conviction or a solid, uncompromising principle in his
make-up, but is willing to do anything, say anything
or tolerate anything, if it promises to bring in the
votes. And they are fed up because they have come
to realize that in high public
tute for sincerity, integrity and good faith. They are
particularly aware that in the next four years, these
qualities in the White House, will perhaps be more
acutely needed than at any time in recent history.
IF this is tine, then we believe Mr. Willkie might be
termed a "good politician", for in the last analysis,
there is only one test of a good politician, ability to
get the votes.
And it is our belief, that'the longer this campaign
continues and the more clearly the people see the
type of man the Republican candidate REALLY IS,
the more enthusiastic and widespread, will become
his popular support.

she hepublican candidate didnt mince matters,
he got right up on his hind
agitator and his followers
as he was concerned.
He wished no support, from those who were en
deavoring to gain political power, through appeals
to racial or religious prejudice, and he didn't care
who knew it.
AX7E maintain that not since the days of fearless and
TT two-fisted "T. R." has any candidate for high
office, in the Republican party, made a more courage
ous and thoroughly patriotic statement than that.
But was it good politics?
One could stage a fairly long debate on that subject.
THIS much is certain, President Roosevelt would
never have said it. And few will deny he is regard
ed all in all as the most skillful practical politician
ever to occupy the White House.
No, one will never see F. D. R. go out of his way to
spurn any votes regardless of where they come from,
or their character. He may be his brother's keeper
but not his ward boss's.
And probably that IS smart politics, and the Will
kie procedure isn't. Iut
much be said.
Our enthusiasm for Wendell Willkie, wouldn't be
half as strong as it is, if he were what is known as a
smart politician "and all the term implies".

the theory that the calcium In
milk or cheese is better utilized
by the body than the calcium
in some plants such as spinach,
for instance, because there is
some oxalic acid in the plant
and this interferes to certain
degree with assimilation of cal
cium. I express no offhand opinion
but the conclusion I have
reached after many years of con
sideration of the question when
I say that I believe a liberal
daily intake of milk, apples.
cheese, citrus fruits or their
juices, nuts, and green leafy or
salad vegetables is the line of
diet in any case of "oxaluria" at
least until the doctor can find
out what really aids the patient.
If you are worried about the
oxalic acid bugaboo my advice is
have a glass of milk and a slab
of apple pie and consult a phy
sician if there is anything the
matter.

20 years because of the rush to
liquidate.
The document of Mr. Wallace
is the result of an investigation
by forest officials of the Port
land office, a study ordered by
the secretary of agriculture after
the situation in Oregon and
Washington had been described
in this space. The secretary lost
no time in calling Portland offi
cials to Washington fnr rnntnlta.

and asked for a comprehensive
nearly every lumber pro
ducing district the sawmill capa
city exceeds the ffrnwth with
the consequence pointing inevit-
aoiy to a decline of the industry,
destruction of the timhtr r.
source and the folding up of
communities depending on lum
bering for their existence.
In the Klamath Falls area, Mr.
Wallace says, the annual cut is
three times that which can be
maintained permanently and in
a few years the lumbering Indus
try will fail to support the com
munity It founded. In Bend
there are 8.000 people depend
ing on lumbering. The annual
cut is twice what it should be
and drastic reduction of produc
tion is necessary beyond any
thing probable as the only
means of preventing "a serious
jolt to one of the most substan
tial and prosperous communities
in Oregon."
The Baker, La Grande, Omak
and Spokane timber supply is
inadequate to a more or less de
gree. In Grays Harbor, states
Mr. Wallace, where two billion
feet production a year was the
aim, the virgin timber is rapidly
being exhausted and its people
are desperately seeking for some
other means of support. In
Grays Harbor and Puget Sound
districts 300.000 people are de
pendent directly or indirectly on
the forest industry. Most of the
remaining Puget Sound mills
have less than two decades of
Douglas fir left at the current
rate of logging. Logs are being
shipped in from the Willamette
valley and the Oregon coast.
Seattle, Tacoma and Belling ham
ara threatened, deelarea air. Wallace,
with tho loea of aa Important part
of their economic support, "and that
In the not far distant future."
Says Mr. Wallace, two-thirds of the
Douglas fir la gone: of what la left
60 billion feet la in private owner
ship, 40 billion feet In public owner
ship. Some of that Is of doubtful
accessibility. Even during the past
five years the average cut of lumber
alone waa more than one and one
quarter billion. Plain arithmetic will
te'l you what la bound to happen In
IS or 20 years to what la left of your
great Industry. For most of the areas
the pinch will come earlier. Only 23
holdings of saw timber will last more
than 10 yeara at the present rate of
cutting. Cutover lands will bo unable
to furnish a sizable second crop
much ahort of 80 yeara. And the fact
that Oregon still haa lota of non
operating timber won't help much.
Boll It all down to one sentence:
For over SO years, beginning In 1905
Washington led the country In tim
ber cut, a dubloua distinction that
has now passed to Oregon. Oregon
contalna more timber than any other
state, nearly one-fourth of the na
tional total. More than three-fourths
of Oregon's timber, or 340 billion I
feet. Is In the Douglas fir region.
That sounda very good. The first
disturbing factor, however, la the
large volume of Inaccessible timber,
about two-fifths of It under present
conditions.
"Three Oregon counties once heav
ily forested, Columbia. Tillamook and
Clatsop, hava been largely stripped
of their timber and their tax base.
Remaining virgin timber In these
counties will be gone In about an
other ten yeara at the present rate
of depletion. Most of the land In
these three counties la good only for
timber."
Portland, too. la concerned In the
disappearing timber, aays Mr. Wal
lace, and "a aubstantlal part of that
economic base la now seriously
threatened."
There are forestera who are not In
agreement with tha contention of Mr.
Wallace, but he answers tbeae In his
document. Where tho foresters are
In error, according to Mr. Wallace. Is
that they point to btlllona of feet as
a resource whereaa the timber can
not be reached.
How the most choice timber Is be
ing exported to the Impoverishment
of domestic demand la another sub
Ject Mr. Wallace treata. Montha ago

War Scar to. Got Votes
To the editor: Mr. Wallace's
acceptance speech should have
been entitled "Hitler." What
would Mr. Roosevelt do if he
were suddenly deprived of this
man Hitler? He wouldn't have a
lot of time to build another war
scare around some other ruler
say Japan.
This writer is not defending
Hitler neither is she approving
of the methods Mr. Roosevelt is
using to secure a third term.
Strange, but the third term is
never mentioned by new deal
speakers. Perhaps the "ghost
writers" forget to mention it. j
Mr. Wallace said, "Some of
the bitter attacks on the Roose-!
velt program were directly in-!
spired by the agents of Hitler in
this country." Jeffersonian Dem
ocrats, where does that place
you?
If such men as Hiram John
son, Woodring, Reed, Glass, and
Hugh Johnson are inspired by
the agents of Hitler, I say,
'Thank God for the inspiration."
What about Farley, and Garner?
Do we still have a vice-presi
dent? "When it'i roundup time
in l exas this writer believes
that the world will know, Texas
is the home of John Nance Gar
ner. Mr. Wallace said, "They (the
dictators) hope to get rid of the
unyielding Roosevelt." So do
we, Mr. Wallace, AND HOW?
If Mr. Roosevelt has struggled
so hard for international good
will why is he so badly hated?
Secretary of the Navy Colonel
Frank Knox said, "If England is
defeated the United States will
be left without a friend in the
world." We all know why.
Said Mr. Wallace "For the
sake of a profit in 1941 they
(the opposition) would sell out
their own future and their chil
dren's freedom. Mr. Wallace
could have said, "For the sake
of re-election Mr. Roosevelt has
done everything in his power to
keep this war scare before the
people. Those, in his own party.
who have opposed him have
been disposed of, or "stabbed in
the back." Too bad Mr- Wallace
had to make his acceptance
speech a "war speech", since his
position has been secretary of
agriculture not secretary of
war. Bullitt or Pershing would
have been better mouth-pieces
for Mr. Roosevelt with this "war
speech." Better stick to your
farming Mr. Wallace. Our am
bassadors will make the war
speeches for us.
