Son Saturday, Sept. 29, and the more cautious hlllmen have started training to beat their cougar dog to the hole under the barn. Quite a few of the outdoor girls are limping. This is due to riding horseback with the stirrup too short and a foot being too big for the new shoe. e e e IT SURE IS (Press Dispatch) "You will find that if you take the Japanese as a friend, : he will be a friend to you." This will be news to a lot of Americans." e e e .The authority of three bureaus have been transferred to the sec retary of labor, who wears no three-cornered hat and is not afraid of John L. Lewis. One of the bureaus eliminated Is charg ed by one commentator with sub-rosa troublemaklng, viz: ad vising union leaders now is the time to strike. The President gives signs he will quash such po litical monkey-business, of which the general public has had its fill. e e e "The bride Is to be resurfaced with brick, laid herringbone style on a bed of sand with con crete mixture In the joints." (Wilmington (Del.) News). Now tell about the groom. e e e Jno. Wilkinson, the Ins. Agt., became a Grandpaw and his boy Don, an uncle the past week, and both are proud and bouncing, see Mary, the Duchess, observed her birthday yes. She unblush Ingly owns to 84 years, and feels so young she caught herself start ing to school the first of the week. e e a It Is now rumored Herr Hitler Is hiding in the mountains of Japan, where a nest of Nazis have a roost. The report will amuse the Russians, who If i-ny-body docs, knows whether Dcr Fuehrer is dead or alive. They were closest to him when Berlin fell, after which everything about Adolf became befuddling and Indefinite. The only non Nazi clues were seven or eight pair of pants found near where Mr. Schickolgruber made his last stand, that might have belonged to him. With the building on fire and bullets flying it don't make sense he was scattering trousers, hither and yon. At that particu lar time the last thing In the world even Hitler would be In terested in would be his britches. By now, he should be convales cing from his wounds, and his Russian captors have rounded up another pair for him to wear In the hospital ward of a Soviet fortress. Rumor has had him hiding since the fall of Nazism, In most every land but Russia. e All over the land, as school opens, due to an Increase In pu pils, an overcrowded condition prevails. There Is hardly room enough for the teacher. see The end of the world predicted for tomorrow by a Los Angeles preacher, is now doubtful, he reports, due an error In his fig uring. The ominous forecast failed to scare the well-known davlights out of anybody around here, including the group who will be scared at anything once, the farther away, the better. Though shipments of winter oranges from California and Arizona have doubled since 1920, those from Florida are six times ,u great. Editorial Correspondence Washington, D. C, Sept. 16 It took us all day to find a hotel room and would have failed but for the assistance of Bob Park man, Senator Cordon's able secretary. Washington has always been difficult, particularly since the war started, but now with the war over, is worse than ever. We finally were given a room at the "Dodge," which is a very clean and comfortable hotel, but on the wrong side of the tracks. In fact, it Is nearly on the tracks, only a few steps from Union station. e e e We stayed at the "Dodge" several years ago when Mr. and Mrs. Walter Pierce were also domiciled there, the chief reason be ing not Walter, but the fact the "Dodge" was out after business then and advertised in the Medford Mail-Tribune! The Y.W.C.A., backed by Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, owned it, which put Walter, (it might be stated for the benefit of newcomers that "Walter" was for many years congressman from Oregon and also a former governor) rather on a spot for Walter was always an ardent supporter of the "Y. W." but regarded the Rockefellers as only slightly less objectionable than Beelzebub himself, e e e e a Lone ago Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockegcller, Sr., often stayed here. No liquor was allowed in the hotel and isn't now, nor were tlDS. which pleased them both, but especially John. We liked that too, the "no-tips," we mean. Tipping, we re gard as one of the minor evils of modern civilization, and would do away with same entirely if we had our way which of course we haven t. The "Y. W." stuck to It, but a few months ago the Bland Hotel chain of North Carolina and Knoxville, Tenn., took over the Dodge, and now tips have been reinstated. It was either that or lose their help, and a Washington hotel without help, white or black, would be rather up against it. The same doorman Is here, and one of the nicest and pleasantest colored boys we have ever known. He is always smil ing, always corteous, and we believe, gives the same service whether he is tipped or isn t. Which brings up the color Issue, but guess we better skip It. For there Is no color issue In Medford. In fact, since Bill the bootblack left for Fresno and "Sonny" got put in the "pen" there have been only one or two colored residents In Jackson county, which makes a color line there what "Time" once called the Mail- Tribune, MICROSCOPIC! But here in Washington it Is different. VERY different! We can see the time when the colored population In the District of Columbia will exceed the white and when that comes about "That Man" Bilbo of Mississippi will not be the ONLY resident to be come excited about It. It is a problem now. It promises to be a far more serious problem as time goes on. e e e It will be Interesting to Raw-lees Moore to know that the local baseball team is not what HE cracked it up to be. We have seen a number of so-called '.'crucial" games out at the Grlflith stadium, and the wonder to us, is not that the Detroit "Tigers" made monkeys out of the Senators, but that the latter ever got so near the top as they were when we arrived, only one-half game from the championship. They must have been very lucky, or have suffered a terrific slump since the arrival of the M.-T. repre sentative, for they have played terrible ball since our arrival, e e e We dropped In lo see Senator Wayne Morse and had a nice chat, also the same with Congressman Ellsworth. We feel Oregon should be very proud of both. They are very different, but both rate far above the average. Senator Morse, In fact, Is fulfilling all the predictions made In this column during the campaign, he is generally recognized as one of the most progressive and promising members of the Upper House, a man who has made his mark in this "great de liberative body" In record time. He has to the nth degree, brains, vision and courage, especially BRAINS. e e e e Ifcls a bit cooler todav. thank the Lord.

Colonel Jackson first name Glenn, we regret to state Is in Berlin chaperoning a group of American officials around the Ger man capital, as a special representative of General Eakcr, the Allied air command and the Slate department. He is expected back in a few days, but we fear we will be gone before he returns, e e e e e From what we have gathered to date we should say President Truman is not as popular with the hewspaper men here as with the people of the country as a whole. Probablv anyone, from a newspaper angle would be a come-down after F.D.R. iBllt, ,here ' moro to " than ll,at- l,e of ,he members of the local press took his hair down at luncheon yesterday and said that in his Judgment the President is an extremely commonplace Individual, pedestrian, unimaginative and essentially merely a politician of the orthodox machine type, who places getting votes above every other consideration. In fairness it should be added the newspaper man in question was an ardent admirer of the late F.D.R. and belongs definitely to the left-wing of the Democratic party. The army and navy are more In evidence here now than dur ing the war. In fact, we have never seen so many soldiers and sailors in any American city at one time.

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Paul M All no Communications Fuel Aid Appreciated To the Editor: Frennrntlv during the past two years, it has been necessary for this of fice to seek the assistance of the newspapers In advising the pub lic regarding problems of fire wood and coal rationing and supply. This was particularly true during the Summer Fill Up Campaigns of 1944 and 194.1. The response of the news papers has always been most generous. The newspapers not only carried the necessary an nouncements but also devoted considerable editorial space to these problems. The end of the war has made possible discontinuance of ra tioning all types of fuel. It has not ended all fuel problems, but reduced military and naval de mands have released furl oil and coal so that wood fuel con sumers, who are unable to ob tain tnat fuel will be able to burn these alternate fuels. At the same time removal of man ufacturing restrictions has made coal grates, and some oil burn I n g equipment available, al though It is not expected there will be sufficient of the latter to meet all demands until some time early In 1946. The assistance given us In carrying out our war-time job of rationing solid fuels is greatly appreciated, and we wish at this time to extend to you our sin cere thanks for what you have done.

They saw no possibility of legis lation, but thought Mr. Truman might give the labor leaders a talking-to. Thus, lightly, did they view the developing clouds, although one mentioned the condition as "a national outbreak" and an other considered the possibility that the v.heel plant was pulled cut t3 put Ford in a defensive mood when the U. A. W. dealt with his rival, General Motors, and all recognized the symptoms of spreading union demands for the greatest wnge increase of all history. e a e OOON developments will plain " lv disclose it as a well fi nanced and managed campaign strongest since the sit-down t,trike, and expertly timed for the reconversion period wnen all manufacturers are trying to get a lump on competitors. Behind it is C. 1. u., ana De- hind C I. O lie these following inner conditions: The Dublic. congress and even government have come to look upon C. I. O as the most power ful nolitical and economic force of the country It is not, C.I.O. claims, 5,000.000 membership, but has a little more than half that many dues payers. From the start it has concealed an data on its membership. To give it 3,000,000 would be generous. Its rjower lies not in- numbers, but in riches, which it is able to spend in political campaigns. A.

C. I. O acually represents about 5 per cent of the workers. Are in t all economic authorities agreed (Messrs Wallace and the manufacturers) that there are in hand and prospect about 60, 000,000 peacetime jobs for that number of workers? Together C. I. O. plus A. F. of L. have less than 8,000.000 dues payers (these figures have been oDtalned from the best ob jective authority) and about 10,000.000 for whom they bar gain. The farmers are just as powerful a political and eco nomic force, numerically. Their 1943 census showed 10,263,000 at work on farms In the coun try, at a time when help was depicted. Yet greater than both union ist and farmer are the 40,000,000 or so workers outside both. While the unions are rich (their war tncomes were completely free from taxation) and the far mers have three modestly fi nanced lobbies which do not try to dominate the country, the 40,000.000 have no organized money or representation. . Yet their economic interest Is paramount and their well being can make or break the country. "I STOPPED DOSING MY CONSTIPATION A YEAR AGO!"

If the 30 per cent wage increase is forced, most of 40,000.000 will pay in increased prices forever, with out a wage increase for them selves, but with a heavy qut in i their savings, because every price increase cuts the value of the dollar in every bond they hold. e e e 'THE C.

What the politicos called the "wolves of Wall street" may have formerly run the country by their similar money power (without numerical strength) but at least they wanted to keep it going so their profits would continue. see THE question thus raised by current events is whether any economic minority can run a country in these days of fully planned economics. Plainly it could, if the national responsi bility of the group was superior to its selfish interest but not otherwise. By running wages up and up, much the last few years, now 30 per cent at a clip and more in years ahead, it can utterly destroy by such inflation everv existing value in a nation. Wiiat is needed is an overall objectivity in economic matters, a controlling top pressure for the greater good. This is the simple duty of government. It is what you expect of govern mentthe reason for its exist ence. If government fails to furnish this objectivity, it has failed its primary responsibility.
