Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry There leerm to be some sort of a rumpus raging among the high German general!. A Lon don dispatch reports: "A death sentence for Voir Schwerln sup posedly would be a solar plexis blow for Von Runstedt, and a slap for Hitler." Boiled down it all means a bullet for Von Schwerln. From the solar plexus and the slap, the remainder of the triangle can recover, e e e Country sausage, one of the better and unfailing signs of win ter, now adorns the rural tables; The white lumps in the sausage are pork fat not soy beans, that ttdency toVuP1ntVeV-jA, thing these times, but carrots and pancake batter, e e e ' Commentators In the closing days of the late campaign, fre quently referred to its "bitter ness." It could have been rough er. Neither side charged the oth er was in cahoots with P. Laval of France, and V. Quisling of Norway. , e e e Upstate areas still report un seasonable conduct by their fauna and flora. Easter lilies are blooming in the metropolis and at way points, violets, pussywll- . lows and petunias come forth as in the spring. Hereabouts, there Is no such giddiness by Mother Nature. Even the mor onic dandelions, who will try anything once, an keeping a tight rein on themselves. News pictures from the Philip pines show Oen, MacArthur smoking corncob plpa. Add horrors of war. e ' An eastern Oregon hunter, Imitated the howl of a wolf so well he was shot for one in the course of an Impractical "prac tical Joke." It will be six weeks before he will be able to ride on the running board of an auto or sneak up to a kitchen door, "PACIFIC HERO FAINTS AT OWN WEDDING" Exchange headline) He faced the can non's mouth, but could not look a preacher in the eye. e e e The Morning Afterl The sun came up, as usual this morning upon a nation, that had "cleared every thing with Sid ney," assured itself, by its vote of four .years mora . of Madam Perkins, and cheered up the British, who feared Uncle Sam would cease to be a Santa Claus. The old horse in the middle of the stream, that couldn't be changed because it would make Russia mad, has four water soak ed years ahead. And, as mention ed and hinted during the cam paign, there may be a fifth term. e e e The campaign is over, and there will be no more talk of "pivotal" states, that failed to pivot. The "Solid South" is still solid, and, voted in accordance with an old habit. Instead of their heads and hearts. The warm southern blood boiled at the thought of a fourth term last July, but when the time came to vote, they were as lambs. Oregon was in a repentant mood, and at last reports, had shunned the permanent presi dent idea, and elected a Repub lican congressional delegation, not inclined to straddle, or be a rubber-stamp. The former boy Mayor of Klamath Falls, defeat ed at the polls, demonstrated the political value of a firm grip on the presidential coat- tails. With the persistency of a gimlet, he will no doubt be at it again in 1948. e e There Is no cause for despond ency by Republicans, over the outcome. They lived through 12 years of it, and should be able to survive four or more years of the same. Olotlni time (or Sunaae Too Lit so uiaaaut :( aaiunui ajteroooo Pleaae remember, History Repeats Itself There Is an old Arab proverb to this effect: "The do? bark but the caravan moves on." It might be well to bear this old tribal adage in mind at this time. THE caravan is this country of course. , An4 in hai-lrinir Antra aa thnaa Turin fill frio air with their growls and their howls, because a ma jority of people on election day did not see things the way THEY did. This is not to rub salt in their wounds via our fav orite "Vox Populi, Vox Dei" refrain. The majority is not always right; the minority not always wrong. In this instance future events may even prove the losers were correct in their main contentions, not the win ners. - DUT that isn't the point. The point is, we live in a democracy, where the majority rules. -And if democracy is to succeed in this crazy world, there must not only be acquiescence in whatever the majority may decide at the polls, but good will and cooperation by the minority as well. So as an aid to attaining that blessed state, that old Arab adage strikes us as helpful and decidedly a propos. "The dogs bark but the caravan moves on." e e e RflOREOVER all these pre-election forbodings about the world coming to an end, the recent election probably being the last free one, etc., etc., etc., are just post-morten reactions of a natural but malignant and temporary nature the barking of the dogs shattering the night air. We are not,maintaing the course selected will ne cessarily prove to be the wisest one time may prove it isn't. But it .will be the one SELECTED, and for better or for worse, must be the one now adhered to and supported by the people of this country. I A ftD another important point. . This still fundamentally "a great country" ana is going 10 remain one. A political mistake may lieve there was and time will prove it but they have been made in the past, thev will be made again and what was true yesterday is true today and will be true tomorrow, namely: This country is greater than any individual, greater than any party, and greater than any political mis take that may from time to time be made. And as long as we hold essential rightness of the such mistakes as may be made, will in the light of longer, experience and clearer knowledge, be correct ed before serious harm has been done. CO that's that! We don't wish to be too pious about it. A certain amount of cursing and cussing CAN be allowed the defeated at this time, a proper safety valve for their disappointment and pent-up emotions. But underneath this surface eruption there should be and undoubtedly will be a voluntary and fairly amiable acknowledgement, by all hands, that greater than any party or individual or issue, is the NATION AL WtiLD AKE, and the corner-stone of that national welfare, is peaceful submission in any plebicite, to the will or the majority, whether we think it wise or unwise, whether it pleases us or doesn't. re e e e e TO some the above may have a familiar sound. And they are right. In fact they can congratulate themselves on having a memory that goes back at least four years to the day after the election of 1940. when Franklin Delano Roosevelt carried the country Dy even a greater plurality and the late Wendell Willkie suffered defeat. . - With a few very minor changes the above is the editorial printed in this department November 5th, Nineteen Hundred and Forty! Looking Backward In looking over the Mail Tribune of 1940 we ran into some other interesting things. One of the striking and irritating features of the recent Democratic campaign was the sudden love and devotion expressed by the New Deal table-thumpers for the late Wendell Willkie. And unless we are mistaken, "Donald Duck" Ickes was one of the most vociferous, regarding the high regard the Democrats NOW have for President Roosevelt's opponent 4 years ago. What a different tune the old files show Ickes sang, when Mr. Willkie opposed the present White House janissariat! We quote : "Where did Willkie get his money? . . . Who does he rep resent, the O. O. P. or the power interests . . . that Wall Street play-boy and would-be Fascist ... the big power stooge ... that pal of Morgan and Lamontl" And here is an extract from Mr. Willkie's final speech at Madison Square 1 - 11.. 11 ft. ines me man me iNew have endorsed President naa ne uveal "I believe with the New Deal in collective bargaining, wage-hour legislation, social security, aid to Great Britain and powerful national defense, but I do not believe in it, and 1 oppose it and I say it solemnly and with full under standing of the terrible meaning of the words, because for nearly eight years, the New Deal has been carrying this country step by step, down a road that leads to the destruc tion of our democratic way of life!"

DAMAGE CAUSED BY SULFA DRUGS Milwaukee (U.R) Army and navy medical authorities showed Interest in learning more about university research here which demonstrated that sulfa drugs, in common use by the armed forces, can be harmful as well as curative. Dr. Francis D. Murphy, Mar-! quette university professor of medicine, made the study with university associates. Research showed that sulfa drugs caused at least 10 deaths here In the last three years and that in five other cases the drugs hastened the death of persons who probably would have linger ed in the illnesses for which they were being treated. In all cases however, death followed a break down of the patient's kidneys. "All cases are Ironclad," Dr. Murphy asserted. "The kidneys were studied under the micro scope after death and the damage done by sulfa drugs was noted. The fatal drugs were sulfathia- zole, sulfadiazine, sulfapyrdlne and sulfamyd. Sulfanilamide, the original of the sulfonamides, ap peared least harmful of the group." Must Take Fluids The diseases for which the drugs had been given Included pneumonia, blood poisoning, ab scess of the lung and intestinal infection. One Milwaukee wom an was given a sulfa drug for peritonitis following abortion. Whenever the sulfa drug is given, investigators reported, the patient must also be given large quantities of fluid to counterbalance the dehydrating effects of the chemical, and bak ing soda to a alkalize the pa tlent. A trace of blood or al bumin in the urine jr failure of normal kidney function Is warning to stop giving tha drug, they said. The drugs sometimes also cause crystals to form in the kidneys. Each Case Different Fatal effectr of the drugs are rare, but they must be used with caution. Because they act as "double-edged instruments In therapeutics," Dr. Murphy said It is not th amount of the drug a person takes that deter mines the degree of damage, the probers found. Only 10 grains had been given a child, less than one year old, who died. One adult took 32 grams, nearly SO times as much. Nor does the drug react the same In each in dividual. Kidney damage began in some within 84 hours of tak After youVe fumed in that big bundle of waste paper- "ERMIIACI ijl I tits -t ing the drug and in others it did not occur unti nine days later. In one case death occurred a year after "sulfa poisoning." "The sulfa drugs remain mir aculous in their beneficial effects under proper control, but they can do great harm if they are not used right," Dr. Murphy said, COMMUNICATIONS Letter to che Edltui must oeai che name at.d addres o! che write, ochuugh the use ui a pea nam r lliltlnit tot publloatluu la pet nliulhle 'rhe Mall rrlbune re iervei che right to edit all letter, lth a 'lew to clarity and coo lensatton. Ships For War Brides To the editor: "Hellship Said Used for Brides" was a heading used in an article in your Trib une November 6. I happened to be a member of the crew aboard this United States merchant ship, charted by the navy from Matson Navigation company, Darcy Jones complained that too many, war brides and children were confined to one cabin, but fails to state that the small num ber we brought back to the states took the place of five (5) military men for every one of these people; our military men who have been waiting months for the chance to get home for a short visit with their families and friends before again returning to duty. These ships at present are not equipped to carry women and children. They could be doing a lot more for us all if they were allowed to carry on with the work they have been converted to. Since these war brides have agreed to sail under these con ditions, why should any com plaint be registered or published when our own men, are waiting to see their loved ones again? For these children an emer gency nursery was provided to use at meal hours and was equip ped with our finest baby foods Australians are not accustomed to these conveniences and did not wish to take advantage of It Lets let their husbands teach them the American way of liv ing later and keep our merch ant marine for the use of the armed forces.

IS Proof Imiiil PULLMAN PLANS LARGER DELUXE RAILWAY COACH Chicago (U.R) The Pullman- Standard Car Manufacturing Company has announced plans for a new railroad coach espe cially adapted for commuter use which will be manufactured aft er the war to enable railroads to retain a large portion of their heavy wartime passenger, vol ume. - The new coach Is called "Three-dex" and provides the short distance traveler with comforts and conveniences now available only in luxury stream L'ners. At the same time, the new coach seats 11'2 passeneers one and a third times the ca pacity of today's typical com muter coach and more than twice the capacity of cars on some roads. Seat Arrangement - The name of the new coach is derived from its three levels. Passengers will enter at either side on a middle level which is tne same as the floor level of present coaches. They may then ascend a central stairway to the top deck. - Arrangements of seats nn trip top deck Is similar Jo that in present coaches, with 13 forward-facing double seats nn each side of a center aisle pro viding room for 52 passengers. On the lower level, two rows of a outward-facing seats accom modate another 44 riders. Four Gam Rooms in , -mere are aiso tour game rooms two at each end nf tho coach on the middle level for 10 more commuters. The spats in the "rooms" face each other with a table between where to morrow's commuters may play cards while en route to and from the office. "This basic design is by no means inflexible," said Ellis W. Test, in charge of engineering and research for the Pullman company. "Already we have plans for a dozen variations to conform with requirements of every railroad. We are also working on a modified version for long distance travel. At a sacrifice of some capacity, the transcontinental model will of fer much more individual com fort, including reclining seats for sleeping." Among the features of the Threedex commuter coach are its four washrooms two at each end 'of the car. There is also a baggage rack on the low er level under the central stair way. ROOSEVELT'S POLICY ENDORSED SAYS BALL Washington, Nov. 8 (U.R) Sen. Joseph H. Ball, young Min nesota Republican who broke with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey on the foreign policy issue, said early today that President Roose velt's re-election endorses his conduct of the war and his plans for United States participation in a strong international peace organization. 8 P.M.
