Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Parry Due to the cigarette shortage, pipe smoking has broken out among the fair sex In the me tropolis. Absent-minded males, Ignite their pants by putting lighted briars In their pistol pockets. Slacks are pocketless, so lookout for. an Incipient blaze in bushel-sized handbags. The campaign has worked around to the point where every time a New Deal mogul opens his mouth a republican puts his foot in it. "Fine clean living young Christian 14 months old, de sires house for himself, mother and major." (Wantad San An tonio (Tex.) Express.) New an gle to an old appeal, Strikes have flared anew in vital war plants. At this stage of the struggle, the public views such happenings as serious, and something that cannot be dis missed with a gay and carefree ' wave of a cigarette-holder. Neither are they mere out breaks of pre-Hallowe'en prank lshness. CRANDMAW BRISTLES (S.F. Chronicle) "Nor, Judging from the ex pressions we hear all around, do, we think there Is a great deal of tenderness for Hitler Ism In the minds of Ameri cans. We have heard gentle old ladles express .the most bloodthirsty wishes about the Hitlerites." The first boo of the campaign has been bawled, locally. No damage was done as the author is old enough to boo, but not to vote. Few can make heads or pig tails out of the Chinese situa tion, except it Is awful, and the Journey there of the vice presi dent by plane to make) a speech In pigeon Russian, helped not a whit. e It Is again charged republi can chiefs are talking too much. Furthermore, In their expound ing, they speak too plain, and use too many cold facts. All know their way around a micro phone, and none, in their awk wardness, have rammed a fist In the water pitcher. The throats, lungs and larnyx of all are In better condition than Vrcmicr Churchill's. Word now comes from Lane county that an apple tree that forgot to bloom last spring, is now doing it. e KER CHOOI (Albany Democrat-Herald) "And for our part, may we add that however askance the unlnitinte may be toward the snuff hnblt, it is far prefer able than thnt of smoking, tn the woods, for no forest fire has ever been traced to the use of snoose. In fact a fitting slogan to guide nil those going Into the forests when the ground Is dry would be "Change to snoose and keep Oregon green." The bird hunting season opens a week from Sat. Rural roosters have quit wishing they looked like gay-fcathered C. pheasants. "in the states where election.. are to be held this fall, the air Is filled with poppycock and tommyrot." (Pendleton East Orcgonlan editorial, SO Yrs. Ago.) A good brisk wind Is needed in the residential areas to cruise an inter-change of loaves on lawns of neighbors. Raking of the leaves, frequently men tionrd In campaign speeches, Is underway, but not enthusiasti cally. The Methodist church In Can ada was formed on Sept. S, 1883. Closing; time for Sunday too Lata to Classify o 80 Saturday afternoon- Fleas remember, The Happy Warrior Departs ! i A wit's a feather, and a chief a rod; j An honest man's the noblest I Work of God. j That might well be a fitting epitaph for Al Smith, great Democratic leader and former Governor of New York who died yesterday. For the outstanding trait of the "Happy Warrior" was his honesty. We don't mean Al was merely a man of his word, but at all times and under all conditions he "dared to be TRUE." He never faked anything in his life. He never pre tended to be anything but what he was, HIMSELF. Al was a product of the squalid tenement districts of Greater New York, with little schooling, even less of what might be termed culture; but he was naturally a "wit," and just as naturally a "chief" a bora leader of men. Even so his uncompromising integrity, his genuine ness, overshadowed all his other worthy qualities, and will live in the grateful memory of his friends long after he has gone. A L came up the hard way from the "Sidewalks of New York"; he remained to the end extremely provincial as most native New Yorkers are ; but when good common sense was looked for and wise counsel with no frills, loyal Democrats from' all over the coun try, went up to Al s tower m the Empire State Build ing on Fifth Avenue, and never failed to come away invigorated and renewed. He held this power over the minds and affections of his friends until the very end. "THE two great sorrows of Al Smith were his break with President Roosevelt over the New Deal, and the death of his wife, only a few months ago. Al recovered from the former, but he never recov ered from the latter, and of the man. For Al Smith was a man of very strong feelings and stronger loyalties. He was devoted to his party, even more devoted to his home. Al was able to stage a courageous comeback when his PARTY left him, Al always said he never left the party, but it was just too much, when he had to say goodbye forever, to "pretty Kitty Dunn !" Cant Something Be Done? What can be done about these deer huntiner fatalities? Two young men dead week gone ! It is deplorable enough war, with sharpshooters and ammunition so needed at the front, sacrificing lives for the sake of a few days of outdoor sport, does seem shameful as well as tragic I TOR years this paper has issued warnings at the ' start of the deer season, never shoot until you I see the antlers, etc., etc.,- Absolutely NONE. Put a crowd of men and guns, and open tne season on these inoffensive animals, and results apparently are always the same, a certain proportion of the nimrods invariably shoot first and investigate afterward, a tragic sequence! AX7ELL we know what we would do if we were Gov- ernor. We would close the hunting season for the duration, and make only two exceptions. Une : predatory animals at any time. I wo: Wild game like bear by those who live in the foothills and the woods at any time. They could be killed bv others onlv when the "others" AGREED UNDER OATH only to shoot what they need, or can use, for FOOD, and then only for a very short time. DEFORE the various and assorted sportsmen's clubs hereabouts arise and send insulting letters to "ye editor" let it be stated clearly, ye editor fully realizes if he were residing in the executive mansion at Salem, and issued any such ruling he wouldn't be Governor very long. No indeed! He would be lucky if, the first time thereafter he walked across the state house lawn, he was not mistaken for a buck and shot dead by some one with a red cap over his head and nothing IN it! Watch the Philippines Incidentally it is not difficult now to see what Japan is trying to do and has been undoubtedly ever since her defeat in Guadalcanal. She has given up any idea of retaining the South Facific islands between the Philippines and Australia. The troops and ships she has lost in that area have been written off under the heading of "expendables." But she does intend if she can to retain land and sea control from Singapore through the Philip pines and Formosa to Korea and Japan, includimr the East and South China At least that is the way it looks to this typewriter strategist. So when the all-out U. S. attack on the Philippines starts, you can expect to see the fur fly. Japan is really going to fight in all-out fashion for those islands, as she has not fought in the' South Pacific up to now. In fact the war with Japan may well be decided and' ended right there except for certain mop ping up operations! CITY OF POETS Cambridge, Mass. tU.P.)

Use UaU Tribune Want ad, News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Oct. 5 (U.R) There is a commonly prevail ing notion the republicans will win congress wauMiiMwi even if Dewey loses. This is ; an easy as- sumption which takes the fullest pos sible liberties with the inner facts of the s 1 1 uation. A careful check suggests rath er that the e 1 e c 1 1 on of Paul Mallon Dewey is essential to bring both houses of congress into the re publican column. Or rather it is, unless the voters go in for an unprecedented amount of ucKei-splitting ana turn en tirely away from the demo cratic list after checking Mr, Roosevelt, THE republicans have their best chance in the house. There the lineup today is: .Re publicans 212, democrats 218, vacancies 3, other parties 4. Without the aid of a pencil, a glancing observer might con clude the house to be certainly republican, as only six more seats are needed. Maybe but the unnoticed fact inside the matter is that the republicans already fully hold the congres sional field outside the cities and the rigid, if not solid, south. They may logically figure to pick up a seat in Seattle, and one or two in Kentucky, one in Wisconsin and some others sim ilarly scattered. But unless Dewey pulls in a lot of districts now designated democratic (or there is heavy ticket splitting) a republican majority in the house cannot now be calculated in the strong terms that are be ing used on the stump and among the commentators. CTRONG republican gains in the senate are sure. Off- hand about six democratic seats ; are certainly in such dire dan ger that the republicans already have one hand on them, and the democratic loss will no doubt be greater, even if Mr. Roose velt oozes through. (Hazard ously held democratic seats in clude those of Idaho, Utah, Ok lahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, New Jersey and doubtful are California, New York, Ken tucky, Maryland and Connecti- cutut nece"s gain of 12 seats Is necessary for the republicans to win the senate, and this is at least twice as difficult an as sumption to accept at this time. JJEOPLE do not appreciate the critical Importance of con gressional elections, no doubt because they cannot visualize so many races around the coun try, whereas the presidential nice is expressed in two single opposing personalities. But it has equal importance this year with the president upon the fu ture course of government. Ohio's Senator Burton (re publican) has said that inas much as the congress is cer tain In rnntinno nr. nnti - .......... u 1 1 fiiiw-iii;iY , rionl ltkrA it lr. . ' ...... llle vuiurs can get coherent government only by electing Dewey. The southern democrats are answering back that they may be artti now deal but as yet not republican. This is true, but on economic issue the important one which will make the coun try what it is to be they will vole more often as republicans will vole than as new dealers do. The following conclusions are assurnble: nrilE new deal is dead and cannot be revived. Mr Roosevelt will have no chancel j to swing both houses to his way j I upon any controversial Issue. 1 national or international, unless he gets the votes out of the re publican party. The Hillman crowd which Is backing him can be paid off 'only in execu tive actions, not by govern mental action. In short, Mr. R.'s victory would continue a stalemate in which the king may squirm and complain, but can seldom make : VTNIFN rou nd quick rtlitf from " pain, do vou htitiuie to tike tipirin htcaue it leivfi vou with an upet stomach 11 o, thu new medical div owenr.

A Dewey victory would bring a new kind of government with an affirmative program likely to be carried through. It would bring a reform government and signify a return to one -party management of national affairs. IN FINAL DAYS With only two days left after today for voters to register for the general election Novem ber 7, registration continues brisk at the county clerk's of fice. The books close Saturday, a month before the election. The county clerk's office will be kept open until 8 p. m. Satur day, instead of closing at noon as usual. Voters are requested to register if possible before then and avoid the last minute rush. Registrations in Jackson coun ty so far, show the republicans we" in. lead with an in- crats the past week. Many of the latter are newcomers. Ballot applications from sol dier's and other service mem bers stationed in the United States have started to come in. Sixteen arrived this morning from camps in Texas, Califor nia, Arizona, and the east and middle west.
