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

Upstate areas still report un
seasonable conduct by their

as in the spring. Hereabouts,
there Is no such giddiness by
Mother Nature. Even the mor

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

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

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,

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.

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

Sen. Joseph H. Ball, young Min
nesota Republican who broke

velt's re-election endorses his
conduct of the war and his plans
for United States participation
in a strong international peace
organization.
