The combination caused many to fear the first galoshes of fall. Prospects are brighter for the Black Tornado football squad. They reached the depths a few years back, when a despondent coach reported: "They're so weak they won't beat anybody not even Salem." One of the fair assistants of Dubb Watson demands the world be told she had a birth day last Sun. She is 3? years old. . . It had to happen, as In all presidential campaigns. Secre tary Ickes, the self-confessed old curmudgeon, in his first politi cal speech or one of any kind in several weeks, alleges Gov. Dewey and Wall Street are in cahoots.' It Is a favorite trick of politicians to put horns and a forked-tail on Wall St., and have the "international bank ers" start chasing farmers un der the barn. BUCK THICK STUFF (Oakland (Cal.) Tribune) "The lawyer with this Will kie trick thunders to the Jury, "The witness for the other side says X." Then, a few minutes later, he adds some thing to what the witness says and shouts, "I cannot believe that XY is true." Then later, he adds qualification Z to XY and asks the jury if It believes XYZ. Finally he says solemnly, "I cannot believe that this Jury will accept the proposition YZ." Since no one can deny X, this trick enables the lawyer to fill the Jury's mind with a proposition which he, not the opposition, has created."

Desldes the disgrace of being corraled, they look like they had been overwhelmingly defeated for constable of the West Berlin precinct. Oregonlans are urged to eat more onions to get rid of the surplus for which there is no warehouse storage. This great sufficiency could bring back the old-fashioned steak, smoth ered in onions if the great al leged shortage of steaks did not leave the onions with no steak to asphlxiato-. The onion has long been socially defunct. Older girls still scream at friends: "Don't come near niel Horrorsl I've eaten an onion!" "FIFTH ARMY RETAKES LEGGO." lldline Siskiyou News.)

A Et.gcne woman has won first prize In national contest with tho campaign slogan "Swap or Sink!" This is the vocal answer to the advice, "Don't change horses in the middle of the stream." The nag has been there for nearly 12 years and Is pretty well water logged. If run through a wringer another Coulee Dam could be filled to overflowing and leave 900 homeless. A bumper crop of horse chestnuts dangle on their trees, waiting a frost to pop open and become buckeyes and high ly favored by the Sheriff Syd Brown school of medicine as a re-lira cur for rheumatism. How A bout Japan? While the campaign against Germany is said to be considerably ahead of schedule, the campaign against Japan must be behind. At least we were informed last May not for pub lication that the all-out attack on the Philippines would start on or before July 4th. And that report came from official and informed sources. Four months have passed and still there has .been nothing in that field and naval engagements. MEANWHILE the Japanese have been going stead T ily ahead in China iKweilin, while after close allies have been unable as of Mandalay. Kweilin is a vital air center for American opera tions and its fall would be a serious blow to China, comparable to the loss of Paris as far as the defense of France was concerned. TPHIS does not mean the over-all war picture is not encouraging. It is far more so in fact than would have been considered possible a year ago. But it does mean that while the war m Europe is almost over, the war in the its present rate won t be for a veiy considerable time. The tempo of course will change as soon as allied forces in Europe can be turned against Japan. P VEN so, we believe it a pious idea, from the stand point of our war morale, not to spend ALL our time drinking in the triumphal and somewhat heady news from Europe ; but to turn now and then to face the cold facts of Nipppns progress and resistance on the other side of this war-torn planet. There will be far less kick in the latter drink we grant, but also far less liklihood of waking up in the morning with a terrific headache! Why Stalin Stays Away According to the latest report from Dumbarton Oaks the present topic for A short time ago the American press, represented by the A. P., the U. P., and Newspaper Editors, declared the peace would be lost unless the freedom of the press in the New World was guaranteed. Ihe resolution then passed is declared to be the subject for debate now at the WELL, no wonder Comrade Stalin decided not to ottonrl fVio DiimVinrtnTi irntViprinov ni inin with ii vuvi - - - ------ - r-, o " Messers Roosevelt and Churchill, at Quebec! Far better that he continue to direct the Red Army on the eastern front, than get mixed up in discussions of the free press and free speech over here on the western hemisphere. For Pal Joey, has no more use for free speech and a free press than he has for near-beer or the Oxford Movement. With the possible exception of Germany and Ja pan the most perfectly controlled and enslaved press in the world is in Soviet Russia. Over there, there are no newspapers at all outside of the larger cities and these papers are completely controlled by the government merely printing news and opinions that the Kremlin okehs.

But we venture to say when, after the war, a pro per perspective is secured, twist to the victory score, checked and double-checked. For unless this department is much mistaken the greatest SINGLE contribution, as far as this country is concerned, will have been made by a group that has been the victim of more criticism and abuse on the part of the Roosevelt administration, than any other, namelv: BIG BUSINESS! YES Big Business, mass-production, the outstanding creative and productive genius of industrial i America, applied to (lestiuction Or to express the same This war has been won primarily by superior eauinment. and Big Business labor and capital COMBINED has been that equipment when and where it was most needed. This has been, as we view it, the outstanding, herculean, incredible achievement of this country, and it really dates back to before the war started to lend-lease. It will be interesting to see when President Roose velt writes his memoirs if he will give Big Business any credit for it!

It is a com plete oposition theory. It holds that the ex pected depres sion and vast unemploy Paul Mallon ment need not occur. To avoid offer benevolent It he would business-Inspiring policies such as reduction of taxation and les sening of bureaucratic controls a more Judicial attitude toward the unions, a break-up of the federal robot octopus in favor of state leadership in short, a non- political, objective, central gov ernment toward all quarreling class groups (CIO, AFL, farmers, white collar workers) to replace coddling government doling of wages, hours, prices and similar group discriminations. He thinks this would Inspire enough business to restore the growth of the country. He Is young man who obviously be lieves he can do it. and is get ting a lot of other people to be lieve he can do it. TTHIS type of campaign caught the New Dealers napping or its unexpected popularity did. The Roosevelt campaign has been built since January on the oposite thesis, all the govern ment economists and leaders contending without exception that the nation was facing a post-war catastrophe and imply ing, naturally Mr. Roosevelt was the only one with experience to handle it. But since the Initial Dewey speeches the Washington atti tude has shown signs of abrupt change. Mr. Roosevelt's real vice-president for domestic af fairs, James F. Byrnes, has come forward with a report largely accepting the Dewey theory, with Just enough objec tions to avoid the appearance of a complete about-face. AND a bi-partisan house post- how much this amount of money In the hands of the people is the amazing total of $150,000,- 000,000. The first demand in its report was the same as Dewey's. favoring a reduction of taxes 'intended to stimulate Invest ment and production." (Signed by ten Democratic congressmen and eight Republicans.) Officiality of the Byrnes re port is darkened by the fact the CIO prevented him from being Mr. Roosevelt s running wate flt Chicago and it is predicted that he will shortly resign. At any rate, he seems to be trying to get Mr Roosevelt to shift the level of his campaign up to Dewey's from the old New Deal basis of catastrophe-and-want to be cured only by the federal government which Dewey truly calls the theory of the dole. Congress is going the same way, only more so, as all its latest actions particularly in re pudiation of the union labor compcnsitlon bill, will testify. TPHE contrast on international policy has been made equally clear. The administration built up the notion that Dewey was an isolationist and inexperienced, and for both reasons unworthy to handle the terrific task of re ordering the world The world order theories of Winkle were espoused also by the admlnistra tln spokesmen, Wallace. Welles, et al, with an end of want and various other fears forecast. And the administration world pro gram has devolved Into a com paratively mild League of Na tions led by Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt. In contrast with this Dewey denounced any world spending program demanded a specific program for larger participation oi small nations (and Is appar ently getting It), urged Interna tionalization of the Rhlneland and its production to rehabilitate Europe (Instead of our moneyl. and is clearly opposing a world dominated by Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt.

Several of the leading Issues registered late gains and many others substantially reduced early losses that ranged to more than a point in such stocks as Sears Roebuck and Johns-Man-ville. Improving tendencies were noted after an appeal by Maury Maverick, chairman of the Smaller War Plants corpora tion, that small business be given an Immediate go-ahead on civilian production.

A supplementary civil com plaint filed in federal district court charged that the cartel and its subsidiaries obtained control of 95 percent of the world's sup ply of borax by driving other companies out of business and dynamiting borax mine shafts. -The indictment was announc ed by Wendell Berge, assistant attorney general in charge of the anti-trust division of the de - partment of justice. It completed a lengthy, secret grand jury in vestigation. Companies named in the In dictment are: Borax Consolidated, Lt., of London, and its subsidiaries, Pa cific Coast Borax Co., Los An geles, makers of "20 Mule Team" borax, and the U. S. Borax Co., of Los Angeles. The indictment charged the two subsidiaries are controlled and dominated in policies and practices by Borax I Consolidated.
