By Arthur Pry
A medical columnist hoots at
the "buckeye" packed by many
natives, as a cure for rheuma
tism. So far no local horse-
chestnut trees, prolific pro
ducers of "buckeyes", have been
chopped down for practicing
medicine without a license.

Returning scouts from upstate
gridiron contests, report the
perpetration of the T-formation
they saw is more of a T-hee than
a T. On one befuddling play the
team In possession of the ball
successfully hid It, from nobody
but themselves.

One of the 'fair sex showed

They were the real thing, and
not painted on with shank shel
lac. The cigarette shortage Is get
ting no better fast with no re
lief in sight. It is high time for
a candidate, with an eye on the
cigarette smoker vote, to come
out for lower taxes and more
cigarettes. The shortage, most
mystifying, seems to be confined
to modern makes. There are
plenty of the brands that first
saw the light of day, and a
match, right after the Spanish
American war.

The passing of Al Smith, four
times governor pf New York
and a politician who never
was a charming slicker, sad
dened thousands who regarded
him as an Idol. He summed up
the success of New Deal no
tions in a classic truth of four
words: "Nobody shoots Santa
Claus".
The British report they have
made a "direct hit with a 12,
000 pound bomb on the Von
Tirpitz, German super-battleship",
at anchor In a Norwegian
fjord. This hat happened limp
teeth times before and the craft
still floats. A new technique
might help. The next time
strive for a direct miss, and sink
the Von Tirpitz.

Now that the womenfolks, re
portedly having taken to smok
ing pipes, the next step feared
Is chewing tobacco. Many are
opposed to this though fully
realizing if they do they will
hit a cuspidor occasionally.
Grandmaws can remember
when the height of lady folly
was to cat chocolates, and giggle
over the telephone.

HISTORY THAT AM
"The country is still talking
about that 'restricted' United
States history that the Govern
ment got up.
"Paul Revere, Bunker Hill,
George Washington. Lexington,
Concord, Nathan Hale, Valley
Forge, Jefferson. Patrick Henry,
Daniel Webster or the Green
Mountain boys don't get a men
tion. But what a glorifying
Democratic personalities and
deeds since 1832 gcll
"You'd get an idea from this
history that nothing that hap
pened previous to the last 12
years had been verified as Im
portant yet. But I guess Paul
Revere wouldn't figure these
days. He didn't get his horse by
Federal aid and he refused to
stop at Medford town to fill
out questionnaires.' (N w
York Sun).
'Morse, Cordon and Ellsworth "
Senator Guy Cordon's warm endorsement of
Wayne Morse over the Roseburg radio last night, was
greeted with enthusiastic applause.
And properly so. For here is a pair of Oregon men
it would be hard to beat. Throwing in Harris Ells
worth for good measure, this state would then have
the' strongest representation in Washington, D. C,
.'that we have ever had. "Ever" covers a lot of territory
but that is precisely what we mean.
llflORSE, Cordon and Ellsworth try to beat that
combination in your political history books if
you can ! But you can't, and we are not overlooking
any of the great Oregon Senators and Congressmen
of the past, who have represented this section of the
state.
We grant there have been greater Individual ora
tors, greater individual statesmen if you please when
stature, mature wisdom and experience are consid
ered. But never a greater trio, a greater COMBINA
TION, for brains, ability, aggressiveness and poten
tial all-around effectiveness.
And that is what this state wants, and will acutely
need, in the post-war period, a representation in
Washington that will be on the job 24 hours of the
day, know what it is all about, and working in nar
mony at all times and under all conditions GET
RESULTS !
THE war has nothing to do with this.
Neither have international relations, nor the Red
Menace.
We don't mean the above don't comprise important
issues in this campaign. They do.
But we do mean, that one of the MOST important
issues, is OREGON and its future development, and
that in turn will be considerably determined by
the kind of representation this state will have in the
nation s capitol.
For whether we like it or don't, the federal govern
ment will hove more and more to say about what a
state can or can not do in the critical reconstruction
period. After that it will, we hope, be different.
BUT the present is the important question at the
aUlUlllllK
And we don't care what your particular brand of
politics may be Mr. and Mrs. Voter, or what your
ideas about a new League of Nations may or may not
be, think this over very carefully before you enter
your voting booth a month and a day, hence:
What will be best for Oregon, and particularly for
Southern Oregon, and therefore for you and your
family:
A vote for ' Morse, Cordon and Ellsworth or a
vote for their opponents?
TRUE these 3 men'all belong to one party, and their
Anni-mflrita f r a nnf Vt ni T?nf fVinf io 11? n rf f Vi
point.
The point is the abilities and characters and capaci
ties of these three men, two of them now serving the
state at Washington, the third one of the most highly
qualified men for public life, ever to become a candi
date for high office in this state.
a
I OOK them over carefully, that is what we ask.
" Size them up from every angle you desire. If you
will only do that there is no doubt in this department
about the result.
For your own, interest and for the best interest of
your slate you will go down the line for:
"Morse, Cordon and Ellsworth !"
F. D. R. Repudiates Reds
Earl Browder, an ex-convict and former head of
the Communist party in this country, about a week
ago in Madison Square Garden snid :
"American Communists even as our great Communist
(sic) forebears in 1800 and 1864 supported Abraham Lincoln,
will in 1S144 support Franklin Delano Roosevelt for President
of the United States."
It would be interesting to have the chief of the
U. S. "Reds" name a few of our COMMUNIST fore
fathers who supported Abraham Lincoln in the last
days of the Civil War, but let that pass.
a a
I AST night in a radio broadcast which in restraint
and funereal solemnity offered a striking contrast
to the preceding gay and frolicksome "non-partisan"
appeal for votes, which was so generally and severely
criticized, 1'resident Roosevelt explicitly stated he
did not want or welcome any Communist support, or
Fascist support, or the support of ANY PARTY seek
ing to undermine and overthrow the American system
of "free competitive enterprise and private property."
Well according to President Roosevelt's own Attor
ney General that is precisely what the Communist
party in this country and their fellow-travellers are
trying to do.
THE Mail Tribune has never fallen for the "Red
Menace" hokum and doesn't now. It has been
used in the past, pretty generally by a gang of cheap
politicians and self-seeking table-thumpers, to throw
up a smoke-screen behind which they might attain
some brief demagogic authority and power.
On the other hand we don't deny, and no well
informed person can deny, there IS a Communist
party in this country, its underlying purpose IS to
destroy our present form of government, and it is
for reasons best known to itself, throwing itself whole
heartedly in the campaign to bring about the re-election
of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
The mild reprimand of President Roosevelt's will
not lose one vote of that Communist support, and
no one knows this better than the President himself.
Nor will it, or should it gain one vote of those
citizens who refuse to mark a ballot for a party, any i
party that has the official Communist support, 1

Washington, Oct. 6. U.R)
The 'preliminary planning at
Dumbarton Oaks for a new
league of nations neared an end
today with prospects that the
plan upon which the big four
have reached abou 90 per cent
agreement will be common
knowledge soon and ripe for pre
liminary debate when congress
returns after the election.
The Anglo - American talks
with the Chinese which began a
week ago may end this week.
All indications point to the fact
that the Chinese have not insist
ed upon any of their views which
do not jibe with those already
agreed upon by the United
States, Great Britain and the
Soviet Union.
Thus, one year plus about one
week after the four major allies
pledged themselves at Moscow
to try to form a world organiza
tion for keeping the peace, they
have formulated a document for
presentation to the other united
nations.
Berlin, Ore., Will

Honor Greek Town
Portland, Ore., Oct. 6. U.B
The good people of Berlin, Ore.,

planners today and set about

children were wiped out by the
nazis in reprisal for a guerrilla
attack last June.
Maxwell Anderson, chairman
of the committee for the restora
tion of Distomo, reported that
all plans are set nationally and
President Roosevelt and Vice
President Wallace will be Invit
ed to participate. Anderson said
also the archbishop of the Greek
orthodox church In the United
States would be present.
The Linn county court had
sanctioned the change and the
citizens of Berlin had passed
their consent. The ceremony Is
set for Oct. 28.
Berlin is a postoffice in Linn
county 97 miles south of Port
land. Radio script will be prepared
by Anderson and the ceremony
will be broadcast nationally and
by short wavo to Europe.
