McNary in his accept ance speech a week ago, referred to Secretary of Agriculture Wal lace as "a high-minded gentle man," and GOP. Nominee Will kie. on a visit to Des Moines, Iowa, the home-town of Secre tary Wallace, "politely re buffed" those In his audience who "booed" a mention of his name. Then along came Mr. Wallace last Thursday, with his low-minded, war-mongering speech, accepting the ramming down the throat of the Demo cratic party of his vice-presidential candidacy. It was Im pudently charged all who vote against the third term monkey business are unwittingly aiding the Hitler cause. It seems the booers were right, and, like Mother, knew best.

The Older Girls are all busy making pickles and preserves, and reading murder mysteries. Some cheat and read the last chapter early to find out who did it. The Republican party high command is reported "dissatis fied," particularly the "Old Guard." It looks like Herb Hoover, who went fishing six weeks ago in "the wilds of Deschutes county" returned to to-called Civilization too soon. A team of mules is advertised for sale cheap.

To wish him prosperity In a small town shop is stretching the imagination a bit too far (Cooa Bay Timi? Wherein joufniitic it ceauy split, None So Blind! IX7HEN in San Francisco a few days ago we talked with one of the most influential young Republi cans in the Bay district. He had just come from a conference with some Old Guard war-horses and he was about as hot under the collar, as the icy breezes from the Golden Gate would permit An original Willkie man himself, and ardent in his support, he wanted to throw the "half-witted old buzzards" off the Oakland bridge with a ten-ton tank tied to their feet, and a lot more like them. "Can you beat it!" he cried. "The old stuffed shirts refusing to take off their coats and get to work because some county chairman or other wasn't born before 1876! If the Republicans are as dumb as that, they deserve to get licked !" Entirely and completely correct. They not only DESERVE to be, but they WILL be ! ..... YTES, as this department has repeatedly pointed out, unless the Republican party gets together TO A MAN, and woman, forgets its internal dissensions whatever they may be, and unites whole-heartedly be hind their nominee, from now until the 5th of No vember, what has happened twice before is going to happen again. And it will be three times and OUT this time! HTWO overwhelming defeats in succession were bad enough. A third, under present conditions, with popular repudiation of the long-established tradition against a third term included, will spell "FINIS" for the Grand Old Pachyderm, for the present generation at least. In fact, as we see it, a third Democratic landslide will virtually end the two-party system as it has func tioned for nearly two hundred years in these United States. IXE don't mean by that there will be 100 support for Franklin Delano Roosevelt if he gets his third term, or anything approaching it. But the New Deal administration will then be so strongly entrenched, the opposition so scattered and weakened that any ef fective opposition will be hopeless, for at least a very long time. And during a period when the two party system may be acutely needed. ..... IN other words, if there EVER WAS a time when the Old Guard Republican, the 100 G. O. P. parti san should get out and everlastingly hustle for the national ticket, that time is NOW. For to him the party is everything. This Novem ber 5th, as we see it, at, least, marks the Republi can Armageddon. Had either Dewey or Taft been the party nomi nees, overwhelming defeat would have been certain. But with the nomination of Willkie there is a chance of victory, and a good one. NOT if the Old Guard, however, sits back and re fuses to play ball because their nominee wasn't born a Republican, or some of the more senile of the organi zation workers have been replaced by younger ones. If this is the spirit of the Republican organization, or any material portion of it in this campaign, then GOOD NIGHT! The once stalwart ship the S. S. "G. O. P." will crash on the rocks of its own partisan stupidity, will sink in a hundred fathoms and never be brought to the surface again ! Do you want that to happen, Mr. Organization Man? If you don't then you better forget your pica yune grieviences, take off your dark blinders, and work for Willkie and McNary as you never worked for your party nominees before! It's either that or oblivion! To the Hobgoblins 1E are not surprised our good Democratic friends don't like the present policy (anti third-term) of this paper. That was to be expected. So was a similar reaction on the part of our Re publican friends four years ago when we decided Mr. Landon was NOT, and Mr. Roosevelt WAS, the best man for the 19:50 job. But we ARE surprised, after all these years, that anyone should BE disturbed at this CHANGE from one party candidate to another, or maintain it is in consistent, incomprehensible, reprehensible or what have you? IT IS NONE OF THESE THINGS! It is entirely in line with the established policy of this paper, for over a quarter of a century, perfectly consistent, understandable, and from that rare jour nalistic bird, an independent paper that really IS inde pendent, strictly according to Hoyle. X7E grant the change has been rather sudden. There ' was no final decision, in fact, until six or seven weeks ago. And then it wasn't a clean-cut knockout. It was a decision on points. But we have never been more thoroughly con- ANYTHING political than that there MIOL LI) be no third toiTii for Franklin Delano Pnosevolt and tho holm cT be handed over this .January to a new management, Messrs. Willkie and McNary. And that, solely and entirely from the viewpoint of what is best for this country, and the welfare of ALL the people in it. Feeling as we do, of course we will do all we can to bring victory to one side and defeat to the other. We don't expect everyone to agree with us. but we are surprised ANYONE should, under the cir- cuiiistances, expect anything clic. tho slim nf t.itu KIIOIM J) Personal Health Service By William siloed tollers pertaining la personal health nd hifleoe. not I. lst 4Usno.lt r treatment, etll be aner4 kr Or.

THEY LIKE IT EVEN IF Nothing raises a doctor's stocks with a certain class of patients so much as a fort night expres sion of opin ion by the doctor that they have noth 1 n z ser ious the mat te r. Just a alight func tional disturb ance. Then if the doctor cares to en dear himself still more In the patient's esteem, for a cou ple of weeks, he need only in quire indulgently what the pat ient has been taking for it, and whatever it may be bid him go ahead and use it. The class of patients to which I refer are the fairly well-heeled and dangerously numerous re tainers or dependants of the plutocracy and those who have by chance come into a compe tence. Just what it is that gives these patients their smug notion I don't know, but it seems that the possession of a little more jack than one's neighbor pur ports to have qualifies one to exercise pretty shrewd Judg ment concerning the signifi cance of symptoms and the choice of the proper remedies or treatment therefor. Difficult patients to handle. these wiseacres. It requires con siderable patience and tact, at the first interview, or over whelming force of personality if you have it, to get the patient off his high horse and on the ground where you can get on with your examination. Mr. or Mrs. Wiseacre always prefers to remain firmly n the saddle and cross-examine the doctor to ind out whether the doctor really knows anything about such cases, whether he can pos sibly have had any experience in dealing with the complaints of the upper classes. Painfully I recall that in my early years in practice a con siderable portion of my patients contrived to make me give them a "good tonic of some kind. no matter what I thought ailed them or what other remedy or treatment I thought indi cated. This tonic had to be pow erfully bitter and disagreeable to take) indeed these qualities were what made it a good tonic. You see, there was an Innate idea that medicine had to be bitter in order to be potent. I say patients contrived to make me give them such con coctions. Not patients, perhaps.

IT DOES THEM NO GOOD but the custom of the time. Always the small voice of con science whispered that if 1 really knew what ailed the pa tient Id prescribe a rational remedy and there'd be no need to string him along with a "tonic." Rarely did I summon the courage to state the prob lem as plainly as that to the patient. Still more rarely did I keep the patient long after such confession of ineptitude. The public was not yet ready for it. It is a great satisfaction to a doctor in practice to be able to give a patient or client a clean bill of health. This a doc tor can do, of course, only after a painstaking examination. Es pecially gratifying to the doctor is the authority and privilege of reassuring the patient or client who perhaps has been secretly or avowedly worried by fear of some serious disease, Without one or maybe several successive examinations of the client the doctor cannot exer cise such authority and priv ilege qrCSTfON AND ANSWERS Hair fjroivth I am 60. 8ls months ago my physician put m. on Idally ratlont of captulea containing optimal amounta of vitamins A, B complex.

To You From Washington by Ethelyn Evans W.chlncrtnn ft f (Sol , Mri. j , o Medford, re cently allotted but two days for a visit to our national capital. Most inadequate! She should have stayed two weeks instead! Nevertheless, we all did our best. One of our notoriously talkative taxi drivers took her to Mt. Vernon and way-points one afternoon. In addition to spouting historical lore, he took advantage of the shining oppor tunity to tell her his troubles as a "voteless" citizen of the District, how his license fee has soared in the last few years from $4.50 to $50 and intimated that since she had a vote and senators and congressmen in congress she might help. "Yours truly" chimed in the next day by taking our inter ested and appreciative visitor for a dash thru gorgeous Rock Creek Park and hitting the highest spots of shrines and fed eral buildings and the Capitol. Mrs. Earl is convinced that not only is this old world the well known small place of song and story but that Washington, D. C. is the smallest of all small towns. Seated in the members' gallery of the U. S. Senate to watch that august assembly convene, the first visitors to walk in and take a nearby seat were the only people Mrs. Earl knew in all Washington's 600, 000 inhabitants: Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. Carpenter, who were at one time prominent residents and orchardists of Medford. Mrs. Earl has gone on to Kansas City, Arizona, etc., and refuses to so much as guess the date of her return home. ... MISS Earline White, Honorary President nf the Nnt'l Rnci. ness and Professional Women's Clubs discussing the women who create public disturbance by hanging senators in effigy and wearing enormous black mourning veils while agitating against the selective service leg islation now under considera tion gave her idea of the dif ference between "sincerity" in working for a cause and "emo tionalism". Miss White is being quoted far and wide for the in formation of local Business & i Professional club members. She asks: "Are these women sincere or emotionally aroused?" "Sincerity", she declares, "is a deep conviction, founded on in telligent, clear thinking and de votion to principle. With it goes a definite dignity. Susan B Anthony worked for the ideal to which she devoted her life, but she always maintained dignity. She was never blinded by emo tionalism. Carrie Chapman Catt presented a similar example of steadfastness of purpose and dignified, intelligent endeavor toward an end." Emotionalism, Miss White believes, is danger ous in whichever way it goes, because it can as easily be swayed in an opposite direction. It has no stability, knows no de votion to principle nor sincer ity of purpose. It Is a "reed shaken by the wind" and an easy prey to "Fifth Columnists." RRS. Fries, wife of General Amos A. Fries and aunt of Mrs. V'olney Dixon, Medford, reports a recent transaction with our incredible English cou sins who continue "business as usual" between, if not actually during bombing raids: Mrs. Fries, as one of America's out standing women, has been writ ten up in a book recently pub lished in London. The books are priced at $10. and the firm sug gested that she send no money until she actually receives the book and that she mail them duplicate, consecutive orders because either the order or the book or both may land on the bottom of the sea in transit.

Communications Opposed to Conscription To the Editor: It seems strange that those people who advocate the Burke Wadsworth Conscription bill as necessary for "total defense" should be opposed to the con scription of industry. They say one l necessary and democra tic but the other is soviettzation and facistic. Their reasoning If hardly logical. If one is neces sary. they are both neceswrv If ' - i. . ., ;. ,nrn n,"n- " '1? 1"'1.conc'u"on ' obuous the public is being ! "eceiveci. Me are told the ma Jority of the nation is for tnc ourKe-naaswortn Bill and its 1 giving the chief executive dicta ' torial power. Yet. we have the ; fact that practically e erv union In the nation, both CIO aiid AFL, great numbers of church groups, including Catholic, Gen tile, and Jew. Granges, un counted veterans groups, and hundreds of other organizations throughout the United States have all passed resolutions de nouncing the bill as undemocra tic, un-American and the first step into Fascism. Eliminate the army and navy who are obviously biased, the members of the official White House "family" and Willkie and who do you have left 1n favor of conscription? It is a sad state of affairs when you have to resort to conscription to get rid of the unemployed!! (That's the way Hitler solved the problem). It seems a little absurd to conscript millions of men be cause of Hitler when he hasn't been able to cross twenty-six miles of water, let alone three thousand. Anytime there is an actual threat from Hitler you won't have any trouble getting plenty of men who can and will fight, but if you don't have the equipment that is a different matter- The airplane factories and other war-industries have been holding out for unlimited profits such as they made in the last war that is the things that need conscripting if any thing needs it. The only two nations in the world that carried on anything like a successful fight against fascism were Spain and China and those nations fought with the untrained "rabble", yet they put up a much better fight, against heavier odds, than any of the conscripted armies of Po land. Norway, Belgium, Holland or France. Why? Simply be cause they knew they were fighting for democracy they still had it!!! They hadn't lost their liberties as in France where Weygand, Laval and Pe tain eradicated the very liber ties which the French soldiers were supposed to be fighting to preserve. That is the deal they are trying to impose on us. Adopt Fascism and lose your civil rights so that you can fight Fascism and preserve the civil rights which you haven't got! It doesn't make sense. F.
