MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dferd, Onion, Tu.idty, May 20, 131 f Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- A CUSTOMER had been waiting forty minutes at a restaurant without being able to attract the attention of a waiter. Finally he grabbed one by the coattails and demanded, "How about something to tat here?" The waiter yanked himself loose and sneered, "Who's got time to sit down?" That fellow they found with two black eyes and a big lump on his head was the "humorist" who walked into an antique shop seven mornings in a row and called out cheerfully, "What's new?" I They tell of a hunter named Shephard Who was eaten for lunch by a lephard. Said the lephard, "Egad, You'd be tastier, lad, If you had been salted and pephard." t) 1951. by Bennett Cert Distributed by King Features Syndicate. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The state of Oregon held a primary election Friday. It turned out to be a very quiet affair. If there was anything out of the ordinary about it, it was the fact that NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY HAPPENED. In this presumably cock eyed world, that is rather in teresting. ' " "I70R the governorship of Oregon, two glamorous young men Democratic Nominee Robert Holmes and Republican Nominee Mark Hatfield will oppose each other at the generel election next., fall. Both were clearly the choice of their party. Both won their nominations de cisively. In the campaign that lies ahead, let's hope they put less tress on glamor and more stress on the economic facts of life. One can't help won dering at times if in our poli tics we don't tend to put TOO MUCH stress on glamor and TOO LITTLE stress on hard facts. This isn't a DREAM world, you know. It's a world in which realities play a big part. I think we need to remem ber that. Too much dreaming and too little hard - headed business administration are responsible for a lot of the things that bother us in this modern age. Let's hope these two per sonable young men formulate platforms and policies not just programs designed as fiypaper to catch votes, but rious statements of their be liefs and their intentions. I can't hejlp thinking we sed to get back nearer to the original two-party system con cept of a CONTEST BE TWEEN PRINCIPLES. One trouble with our politics is that it has been trending too much toward PERSONAL contests. That leads us in the direc tion of a GOVERNMENT OF MEN, rather than a govern ment of laws. As one looks around the world in these days, it is hard to escape the conclusion that a government of men is a dangerous thing We need PRINCIPLES to see our stakes by. SPEAKING of principles, it seems to me this is one of our big problems: HOW MUCH CAN WE AF FORD TO SPEND FOR GOV ERNMENT? We? can have relatively in expensive government or we can have very expensive gov ernment. What we have de pends largely on what our po litical people think we want and will VOTE FOR. If they think we want big government and big spending, they will give us big govern ment and big spending. That much is certain. It is proved by past experience. rpHAT poses the big ques- - tion: What DO we want? In tryin to answer it for yourself, keep this fact in mind: What government spends, it takes out of the pockets of the taxpayers. That is to say, when government takes a dol lar out of your pocket you no longer' have that dollar to spend for yourself. TTMMMM. Reading back over this stuff, it sounds pretty heavy. Let's close on a lighter note. The teletype tells us that city and county health offi rials in Portland report that a local infestation of head lice is out of control. Dr. F. Syd ney Hansen, county health officer, says it appears that even DDT is not entirely effective against the parasites. He says his office is so swamp ed with "people 'coming and asking if they have lice and most of them do that we can't get any other work done "CWEN head lice, you see, has become a public problem in these modern days, to be handled with public money In the older days of our nation it was a PRIVATE problem and it was solved with the aid of a fine-tooth comb.
