All the heroes are not on the
battlefronts. Though their moth
ers Insisted the democratic vice
presidential candidate, on a
tour of Louisiana, refused to
kiss 300 defenseless babies. His
alibi was he had a slight cold.
He did not explain why a dem
ocratic candidate was wasting
time and wind campaigning in
a rock-ribbed democratic state
like Louisiana.
The gracious and charming
First Lady urges parents to
keep their "teen age" daughters
home. She follows her own ad
vice every four years when a
presidential campaign rages,
A Los Angeles Civil War vet
eran attributes his 104 years to
black cigars and whiskey. As
usual no credit is given to plen
ty of air and regular breathing.
MODERN MAIDENS
(Klamath Falls Herald)
"All Initiates are wearing
long underwear . on back
wards, black bloomers (grand
ma fashion), a man's jacket on
backwards, a glove on wrong
side out and backwards, at
least six pig-tails with a tin
can tied to each one, a high
top boot on the left foot, a
wool sock help up by a man's
garter on the other, and a
hlgh-hecled shoe."
Following the bombing of
Formosa by American planes,
the Nlpp admiral and governor
general, who happened to be
In Tokyo, proclaimed ha was
"absolutely unnerved and calm
over the news". This is one of
the better tricks heretofore un
known, save to politicians when
the bad news starts coming In
on election night.
Gen. Elsenhower announces
the Allied armies enter Ger
many as conquerors, and there
will be none of the hall-fellow
well met stuff and dancing in
the streets with the Fraus and
Fraulelns of cities that sur
rendered because they had to.
The troops will not fraternize
with the Krauts. Instead they
will be told what to do, and do
it now. Common courtesy and
kindness has long been regarded
by Teutons as a sign of weak
ness. The Safety Council chiefs re
ports the post-war autoists will
be tempted to drive recklessly.
There are already signs on all
highways and byways. The
post-war autolst is In training
for Just that. The first six
months of peace will see the
wildest, nuttiest, most Idiotic
and plain dumb driving since
gasoline was invented.
"Following the luncheon, she
announced her engagement the
2th". (Exchange.) No ration
ing of romance.
"We have a secret weapon
whereby we can avoid destruc
tion. Get hold of a perfectly
ordinary stick and a while hand
kerchief." According to a Mos
cow report, this is the advlco of
a Niul officer to his men, It has
worked In every war since the
first one.
MIGHTY HUNTER ITEM
"This man was a crack shot,
and had never been known to
miss. His method was to tie a
goat to the foot of a tree at
dusk, climb the tree, and when
the tigers came for the goat,
fire at the flash of their eyes.
In the morning they would be
found dead, shot straight be
tween the eyes.
He followed his usual proced
ure the firs'; night, but although
he fired several shots, when the
day dawned the goat was gone,
but there were no dead tigers.
This happened on two suc
ceeding nights. Perturbed, he
took a huge torch with him on
the fourth night. Instead of fir
lng at tha flashing eyes, switch
ed on his torch and saw, to his
amazement, six tigers advan
cing In pairs, each with one eye
closer. (Llnecaster.)
Welcome to Governor Bricker
As at the Chicago convention in June, it would
appear the weather man is a New Dealer.
At least after one of the most beautiful Falls in
many years, it started to rain the moment Governor
Bricker of Ohio entered the state, and it looks like
rain for the Bricker train stop in Medford this evening.
In which case, of course, many who planned to ex
tend a welcome to the Kepublican vice-presidential
nominee in person will be unable to do so. J? or listen
iner to a few remarks under a roof is one thing, but
listening at the rear of a train in the great outdoors,
with the skies dripping HzO is quite another.
uIOWEVEK, the Kepublican nominee can rest as-
1 sured that no New Deal weather man can really
dampen the enthusiasm for the Republican ticket in
Medford and Southern Oregon this year.
Regardless of how many are able to greet the train
this evening, regardless of what the rest of the state,
or the rest of the country, may do on November 7th,
this section of Oregon is certainly going for "Dewey
and Bricker and against four more years of .Presi
dent' Roosevelt and the New Deal.
And unless all signs fail it is going for them in a
BIG way!
An "Honest Harding?"
One of our eood Democratic friends we still have
ONE! when apprised of our intention to greet the
"Bricker Special" remarked he didn't think he would
go to the station to welcome the G. O. P.'s "Honest
Harding."
That term applied to the Governor of Ohio by the
late William Allen White, is supposed to have ended
the former's chances of becoming the Presidential
nominee. '
We don't know about that. But we do know this,
an "Honest Harding" would have been a VERY dif
ferent Harding a Harding without the "Ohio Gang,"
without Harry Daugherty or Tea Pot Dome.
So the damning phrase was, rightly understood,
perhaps not so devastating after all. .
WE also know this:
If William Allen White had attended the Chi
cago convention and he would had he lived we
feel certain he would have regretted that remark.
For "Will" was a straight-shooter and a generous
foe, if there ever was one.
And John W-Bricker rose in stature at that Repub
lican convention last June, almost as sensationally as
Henry Wallace did, at the Democratic convention a
few weeks later.

The News

FINDS FAMILIAR

Paul Mallon
VES, Governor Bricker came to the convention with
an excellent record as a governor, an executive,
an administrator with very strong backing for the
presidential nomination.
He left with all those qualities intact, but without
what he sought, yet he stood far higher in the regard
and respect and affection of all those -who attended
that convention, than when he arrived.
For John W. Bricker did play the game in a fine,
manly, unselfish fashion. He might have adopted a
dog-in-the-manger attitude and made pretty much a
mess of that convention for the strength of his per
sonal following was amazing.
But when he saw he could not get the nomination
himself he not only made the seconding speech for
Governor Dewey and one of the best speeches of
the conventiou but for the sake of party harmony
and effectiveness and against his own personal in
clinations, he accepted the secondary role of Vice
President, and at once went to work whole-heartedly
for the man who had beaten him.
We have not agreed with all of Governor Bricker's
views, and don't now, but we will say this he is a
good loser, a good sport, a loyal and devoted Re
publican. Ahead of Schedule?
We are in receipt of the following communication
signed "Greater Medford Club":
To the editor:
Would you please explain to a group of interested
readers how General Eisenhower can now say the war Is
ahead of schedule both In Europe and the South Pacific,
when ten months ago ho said the war In Europe would be
over this year? How can we be ahead of schedule and still
west of the Hhlne If Germany is to bo defeated In a little
over two months time?
Well, in the first place General Eisenhower" did not
say the war was ahead of schedule in Europe. The
remark was made a few days ago by General Mar
shal, chief-of-staff, and he said the war was ahead
of schedule, not in Europe, but in France and the
South Pacific.
No doubt it is, for France has been cleared of the
enemy, and a far more bitter and effective resistance
by the Germans in that country was no doubt expected.
AS to what the official war schedule was or is re-
minii L,uiU't: c Villi iriu j;ucm nl lllnl,
But not very long ago President Roosevelt said Ger
many was not expected to fold up until the allied
armies reached her borders, then Germany would
probably never submit to the devastation and ruin to
the "Fatherland" a fighting advance to Berlin would
bring.
Very likely this was the view of the Allied High
Command at that time. And the schedule as far as the
end of the war in Europe is concerned might well
have been based on that.
Probably the people of Germany would quit now if
they could, but Hitler and the Gestapo, with nothing
to lose and everything to gain by continued resistance,
however hopeless, won't let them I
Washington, Oct. 13 Continu
ing a noncritlcal analysis of the
Dumbarton Oaks program for
postwar (see
column pub
lished October
12), nothing In
the text desig
nates Washing
ton as the head
quarters for
the new league
of nations after
this war, but
the program
will start what
eventually will
be a very large
world administration which
must be convenient to the cen
ters of all phases of world
activity.
There Is to be a military staff
committee, mado up of the
chiefs of staff of the United
Nations, permanently advising
the security council as to how
to meet aggressors. In effect.
this International military staff
would conduct the future wars,
or blockades or military ac
tions against nonco-operative
powers. It would be a perma
nent International war department.
Disarmament, diplomatic, eco
nomic and other committees
unquestionably would be re
quired to maintain sufficient
permanent offices to advise the
security council about what ac
tions should be recommended to
the nations.
IN these vital matters the se
curity council is to be virtually
supreme. On peace or war, the
new league is to be controlled
by the major United Nations in
consultation with a few repre
sentatives of the smaller pow
ers on the council. But in other
matters the second component
part in the new peace setup is
to have major authority.
A general assembly of all the
nations (each with a single equal
vote and therefore beyond direct
control of the big united na
tions) will make recommenda
tions concerning "economic, so
cial and other humanitarian
problems), although it also will
have a hand in drawing recom
mendations for disarmament and
regulation of armaments.
IN economic and social matters,
" the assembly, howover, will
be required to work largely
through a committee of 18 (each
member one vote). This com
mittee also is to be a permanent,
continuous body, whereas the
assembly will meet but once a
year to receive reports from all
ine others, make appropriations
and revise recommendations
The EAS committee no doube
will become an enlarged replica
oi ine league of nations com.
missions on labor, health, opium,
child welfare, social conditions.
In everything, all these vari.
uus committees' at Bottom can
only recommend action to other
committees, not take any itself,
can recommend action to the
various nations, but has no mili
tary or economic force of its
own.

pill:, theory upon which the
league of nations was built is
to be tried again, but harder
now, and under our leadership.
Whether those will be more suc
cessful no one can say. The or
ganizations proposed will have
no more value than the use that
is made of them.
These texts will be no more
important than actions taken.
They constitute only broad
charters and contain nothing
that is fundamentally new.
' Staff Sgt. Robert M. Boyl, au
tomobile salesman in Medford
before the war, wants to know
how much it costs the local
Chamber of Commerce to ad
vertise in the south, and accom
panied his request with a pic
ture taken between Mobile, Ala.,
and Biloxi, Miss. The picture is
of a tract of land and a build
ing, the latter with a large sign
which reads "Jackson County
Fairgrounds".
Sgt. Boyl sent the picture to
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R, H.
Boyl of 1404 East Main street
and suggested that it might be
of Interest to the Jackson Coun
ty Chamber of Commerce here
and jokingly wrote, "ask them
what it costs to advertise down
here". Mrs. Boyl presented the
picture to the Chamber staff
this morning.
Sgt. Boyl and his wife took
the picture while en route from
New Orleans, where he had
been stationed with the air
corps, to Dalhart, Tex., where
he Is now on duty. The ser
geant has been in the army
since 1942 and worked for the
Cooksey auto firm here before
going into the service.
