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.

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

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!

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 :

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.
