Recalling a sentence from
Mark Twain, Time passes, as
Time will do: and the. days slip
by, the hour approaches when
the Democrats will have to pick
the man who, if their hopes and
aspirations come true, will ride
through cheering crowds, at the
next inaugural, to the capitol,
and thence back to the White
House, with the uneasy head that
wears the crown.
During the Hoover-Roosevelt
campagn, a straw' vote authority,
whose predictions never had miss
ed fire, picked Mr. Hoover to
win. The vote count showed that
there are occasions when it is not
for us to know the times and the
seasons in advance. Prophecy,
however, has by no means gone
into the genera] discard. The
Hoover-Roosevelt prophet simp
ly did not fortify himself with
the right kind of material. The
faith of the general public in the
straw vote remains unshaken,
and so it comes about that con
siderable weight is given to the
popularity which that method of
probing into the future has al
lotted to Mr. Garner.
By the same token, Mr. Farley
is a man to be considered, the
genial Postmaster-General fol
lowing Texas Jack, as a hot-run
ning second. Headed for the fair
in San Francisco, Mr. Farley is
giving his fellow-citizens a good
opportunity to have a look at him
which in itself is a help. Fifteen
speeches will be spread over a
dozen states, and there will be
postmaster’s conventions to at
tend. Mr. Farley seldom show's
himself to disadvantage, and the
swing around the circle may put
James in forefront to a degree
that will cause many another
willing Barkis to sit up and take !
notice.
In connection with these and i
all other prognostications along j
: the same line, it should be ob
served that there is an import
ant factor that has not been tak
en into acount at all in this com
ment. The sphinxlike silence of
Mr. Roosevelt remains unbroken,
j A word from the White House,
and Messrs. Garner and Farley
maye have a rough and rugged
road to travel. Either may have
to be content with the modest
mantle of the Vice-Presidency, if
he is willing to wear it, and it
may be the will of the conven
tion that both shall put on rain
ment still less conspicuous.
Among the amusing odds and
ends swept up at the last minute
are the case of the Massachu
setts judge who fined eight mo
torists for overtime parking and
left the court house to find a
ticket on his car for the same
offense ;the fact that the name;
of Harry Tomorrow is in the
New York directory; and the
story of the negro who explain
ed running through a red light
on the ground that he thought
green lights were go-signals for
white drivers and red lights go
signals for colored.
The thoroughness of Ger
many’s war preparation is indic
ated by information attributed
to the Scientific Digest. For ev- j
ery machine gun there must be
8 workmen behind the lines; for
every light tank, 48 backers in
the shops; and for every combat
plane, 60 mechanics and labor
ers. Preparedness thus is coupl
ed with a cure for lack of em
ployment, but someone must be
under the necessity of paying
the bill.
Although the proposed altera
tions in the tax laws undoubted
ly are directed toward the gen
eral good, they seem to be Jack
ing in changes that will effect a
let-up on the small man, and
very -likely hereafter as hereto
fore, he will be given ample op
portunity to contribute.
Travel broadens one, no doubt,
but it is also true that it leaves
one pretty flat.—Boston Herald.

Damages For Wrangell Man
_
OLYMPIA—An $11,000 verdict
in favor of William D. Sinclair,
Wrangell resident, against Dr.
Hale Haven and his partners of i
Virginia Mason Hospital was af
i firmed last week by the state
supreme court.
The action was to recover dam
ages for malpractice of the de
; fendant physicians and surgeons.
The other defendants are Drs.
J. M. Blackford. J. T. Dowling,
George A. Dowling, Lester J.
Palmer, M. F. Dwyer, P. A Hohr
| er and M. C. Lile
Sinclair’s complaint said after
(extraction of a tooth in the fall
i of 1936 he suffered pain, the sole
] cause being an infection result
ing from a tooth extraction. He
came to Seattle, he said, and was
informed by Dr. Haven he was
suffering from trigeminal neoral
gia, “a disease wholly incurable
without severance of the trigem
inal nerve.” An operation was
performed on February 17, 1937.
Alleging negligence and care
lessness, Sinclair contended the
severance of the nerve was un-!
necessary and resulted in paraly j
sis of one side of his face.
