Many recent polla have proven 83 of our people are against war, our entering a "shoot ing war." Where do you get your authority? You advocate that the "majority ihould acquiesce In the Judgment of the minority," although you itated it the other way round. I am a new subscriber. Mr. M.W.H., Jackson street (name on file) The above is an excellent example of why news paper editors don't grow fat during war time. Editors, at least most of them, don't mind being criticized for what they DO say. They ARE inclined to complain when they are criticized for what they DON'T say. THE criticism above was based upon Monday's editorial, regarding free speech and tr,e denial of public platforms, to Messrs. Lindbergh and Wheeler. We said nothing about the Amerioan people being for or against war. We DID say, or rather assume, that a MAJOR ITY of the people of this country are against the policies and principles enunciated by the Lone Eagle and the "gentleman from Montana." And beine opposed, these people justified the cur tailment of free speech on the ground the minority at such a critical ume as mis snouiu acquiesce m me judgment of the majority, and thus allow this country to present to the totalitarian powers, a unuea rawer than a divided front.

SB Ye Smudge Pot Br Arthur Perrr An empty woodshed In north ern California, waa atolen by thlevee who hauled it away on a truck, the police hear. They are looking for a couple of men, chopping wood to fill it The Second Army haa In vaded Louisiana, and captured Shreveport without a struggle. Many hold thla la what ahould have been done, when the late Huey Long waa governor and aenator. e The Older Girl are all en Joying the fine fall weather, ex cept when fretting over what the approaching Winter will be like. THE WAR IS AWFULI (New York Daily News) "Mother wouldn't under spend," aald the prlncese (Princess Olgo Troubetikoy), "so I wanted to get thla whole business out of the way. The poor lady la distraught enough at it la. She came here (from Paria) because ahe couldn't get enough milk for her cat." The atate game commission request farmers not to shoot predatory animais, particular bears, until they have notified them. By that time, the calf will probably have the stuffing kicked out of tne Dear. A British member of parlia muni announces "America is not expected to save the world" when oeace comes. II ana wnen, He has been watching America try to aave herself. The deer season opened yes terday In the sister state to the niith. A number of local aeer- slavers Journeyed thither. None had any luck outside of getting back.

In her first encounter with Russia who, plunned Into another one with avidity to regain lost trr ritory, now reports she was an ally of the Axis powers "by ac cident" and now talks peace. The "accident" Is apt to be a sad one. Whether Russia or Ger many wins, it will take some tall talking by the democracies to prevent a grim accounting whatever the original Finnish Intentions. Each will have de mands, with Finland out on a limb, and friends far away. A poll in Portland, where the Sales Tax received most of its beatings in past elections in this state, shows a decided change of sentiment in favor of the OUR "authority" for that assumption was based on everv important public opinion poll taken during the past six months, each one OVERWHELMINGLY in favor of giving every ru&biBLEi aia 10 angiana, either short, or not short of war. Such assistance to Ensrland Messrs. Undbergn and Wheeler have bitterly and persistently opposed, and still oppose. SO that was all there was to shoot at, whether Lindbergh and Wheeler, DO express the views of a majority of the people of this country or DON'T. We believe they DON'T. And we believe further, that the closing of various and sundry public build ings, in this country, to them, is due to that fact, and that fact alone. Our contention had nothine to do with whether a maioritv or the American people, favor jumping immediately into a "shooting war ' or don't It had only to do with the popularity or tne L.ina- bergh-Wheeler position. Hoover Hits Popular Note BARRING a properly conducted plebiscite on a clear-cut issue, it is impossible to accurately gauge the exact state of public opinion. The modern cross-section polls help; but at best, they contain a large margin of error. Moreover in times like the present, public opinion changes as conditions change, the entire picture may be transformed by some unexpected event overnight. HOWEVER, assuming former President Hoover's facts ARE correct (and in factual directions Mr. Hoover has a high reputation for accuracy), we be lieve the position he advocated in his national broad cast last night, comes closer to representing popular opinion in this country today, than any other. We wish to emphasize that assumption of factual accuracy, however, for it is the cornerstone of the entire argument MR. Hoover believes, and quotes a certain Colonel Phillips of the U. S. general staff, to support that belief: The actual dangers to America are less today than at any time since this war began. Thoughtful men agree that the revolution In weapons makes the Western Hemisphere Impregnable from Invasion by Hitler. A statement of mine some time ago was chal lenged. But it has been more than confirmed by Colonel Phillips of our United States Army General Staff who recently wrote: The bomber has made the American coast Impregnable to invasion. And this still would be true if our Navy were Inferior to that of any Invading power. "It makes It possible for this country to Insure not only its own continental territory . . . but ... to insure the im pregnability of all North and South America." And 1 may add that if Hitler had all the shipyards in Europe he could not In five years build an armada big enough even to start across the Atlantic. Hitler Is on his way to be crushed by the vicious forcea within his regime. Patience for this 1 far better than spend ing the lives of our boys. Under any American pocy. whether interventionist or non interventionist, In either Europe or Japan, if we have common sense we will concentrate upon building our pro duction, give Britain her tools and await the development of all these forces, both East and West. WE grant this has NOT been the view of the Mail Tribune, and is not our view today, until con vinced the assumptions as stated, are correct, But we DO believe that if the modern bomber HAS rendered any Nazi invasion across the Atlantic, IMPOSSIBLE, the American people as a whole, would prefer the Hoover course, to any other thus far proposed, i.e.: Continue to give England every possible aid. Keep out of actual war participation. Concentrate upon HOME defense. People who give any thought at all to the science of health, beyond the childish fancy that fresh air, pure food and keep ing the bowels open will keep one well en ough, g e n e r ally are aware that neglected decay of teeth. inflammat I o n in gums or In fection or "si 1 e n t" abscess about the roots of the teeth Is a menace to health. But even though they are aware of that many still elect to gamble with health, or perhaps they imagine they can get along all right without treatment by the dentist if they brush their teeth regularly and thoroughly with the right dentifrice. The false slogan that "a clean tooth never decays" contributes toward this foolish course. Then besides, there are other factors, some times the inconvenience of in terrupting work, play or recre ation to go to the dentist when there Is no emergency such as toothache; sometimes the fear of pain this, too, is childish in view of the skill of the modern dentist in analgesia. Repeatedly I have given here what I believe is the consensus of opinion In the medical pro fession in regard to the focal In fection principle, and I have ex pressed in candid terms my own opinion of the application of that principle In practice, as It is described by beneficiaries or victims. Briefly, I would not sacrifice a tooth on mere X-ray evidence, not unless my dentist and my physician conferred and agreed that extraction of the tooth might reasonably eradi cate or drain the specific septic focus responsible for my rheu matiz or whatever the systemic trouble might be. If I am unsatisfactory to critics in my teachings about that, probably they will derive little consolation from the spirit of my teachings about preven tion of decay of the teeth and degeneration of the gums. If more people took care of their teeth in this country, more of the intelligentsia, I mean, the wiseacres who imagine they can preserve their teeth Just by brushing them religiously, there would be a tremendous slump in the business of the dental quacks. Of course there would be more work for the honest dentist, vastly Increased num bers of patients reporting regu larly for inspection, scaling. cleaning or whatever minor treatment might be required to keep the teeth in perfect func tional condition. This, however, would be the finest investment the patient could possibly make an ounce of prevention that ia cheap at any price. QUESTIONS A ANSWERS Adhesions Wnat ar adhesions? Are they seri ous?

M D. tfi.f El Cmlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. Br iohsi W. Kelly Washington D. C, Sept 17 F ;deral maritime commission has a fixed rule that no contracts will be given to new yards. Just as it la Impossible for anyone to obtain a contract for the build ing of aircraft, as the army and navy are giving all their busi ness to existing factories Boe ing, Douglas, Lockheed, etc. This policy of the commission is unsatisfactory to Oregon's Senator McNary, and Charley Mac has had a run-in with the commission which gave it quite a bit of uneasiness for several weeks. Commissioner Howard L. Vickery Informed McNary flatly that the commission would not distribute contracts among new yards. There are several people on the Willamette and Columbia rivers who are anxious to re ceive ship contracts fi are financially sound, have neces sary keymen for the operation and also have in mind a site for a yard. Under the policy of the commission there is no hope for achieving their ambition. Con cerned in obtaining defense In dustries for Oregon, McNary "blew up" at the rule. In The Day's News ; By Frank Jenkins 1ARYLAND BouU 15 won at Gettysburg it Is prob able that Mason and Dixon line would now be the frontier between TWO nations. Great deeds were done there. And out of them has come a great nation. ONE nation. Fthe Gettysburg cemetery, only a little way back from the Bloody Angle, Lincoln made his great Gettysburg address. Standing at the spot, one can't escape the tragic thought that If Lincoln had lived there would have been no carpet-bagging period. The soldiers. Grant and Lee, could foresee at Ap pamatox the country that must be rebuilt upon the ruins of war. Lincoln saw eye to eye with them. It was the POLITICIANS who precipitated the carpet-bagging era. It is the politicians who mess up so much that men have been willing to die for. We'll have to watch them when this war is over. . cuts VICTIM OF TRAIN DIES IN G.

Commissioner Vick ery left the senator's office. Like all men trained in the army or navy, Vickery stood his ground and would until he received fur. ther orders from Admiral Land, chairman of the commission. The admiral was at the time on the west coast, but before his return to the capital the report was circulating that Senator McNary might sponsor a resolution up setting the commission's method of handling contracts. Return ing, the admiral heard these rumblings and was concerned. He phoned the senator and wait ed a couple of days before Mc Nary replied, a cooling off peri od for the admiral. In the conversations of the senator and the admiral .. com promise was proposed, to-wit: The commission would provide for seven or nine additional ways for Oregon Shipbuilding com pany (which now has 43 ships on contract), giving this com pany more ships to build the "C" type of modern cargo car riers, the number of C boats to be determined by the availability of turbines, these latter engines being difficult to obtain. The commission would, it was ex plained, provide an expansion from 9.500 workmen In the Ore gon yard to 17.000; almost dou ble the original number estimat ed to be employed. What, inquired the senator, is necessary to obtain a contract? i 'ust a concern hire a high- priced lawyer who has been in the administration?

To the left, up the gen tle slope, Is the Bloody Angle, where the charge, its force spent, broke and ended and the hopes of the Confederacy per ished. Great history was made here. LEE, his star" in' the ascendant, was striking at the heart of the North. His Army of North ern Virginia had crossed the Mason and Dixon line into southern Pennsylvania and his cavalry patrols had penetrated almost to the outskirts of Vt asn ington. Philadelphia was only a few days' march away. Beyond Phil adelphia lay New York. One decisive battle and victory would be practically iff his hands. Washington was in ter ror. Between Lee and the decisive victory he needed lay only Meade's Army of the Potomac. And Meade had not been brilliant.

FOR two days the battle raged indecisively. Then, on the evening of the second day, came a break. Four Confederate battalions, operating In the rear of the Union line, came into contact with one Union battalion. There was a skirmish. The Union bat talion fell back. Night was approaching. The Confederate officer in charge, not as familiar with the ground as he would like to have been, feared a trap. So, Instead of striking hard, he waited for morning and thus lost the op portunity to take the Union line in the rear and possibly break and demoralize it By morning the line had been heavily strengthened. THAT night Let, playing for vast stakes, arranged his plan of battle for the third and decisive day. Early In the morning, his ar tillery opened up. The Federal artillery replied. There was an hour of hell on earth. SUDDENLY, on both sides, the rannnn nrmnt H an t rt,A was an interval of quiet.
