Hoover and the Future AS President and Mrs. Hoover prepare to leave the White House next Saturday after four tempestuous years and to return to private life speculation has sprung up about their future. Will Mr. Hoover seek to come back as the party nominee in 1936? Some of his enemies credit him with such ambitions ; his friends disclaim any such designs. The most obvious conclusion is that Mr. Hoover is retiring by the man date of the people. He probably has no special ambition to return to the presidency whose tribulations exhaust what ever of fresh honor the office might afford. However Mr. Hoover holds himself in readiness to serve his country in any large capacity in which he may be needed; and if the call for his return to power in 1936 would be clear un doubtedly he would do as Grover Cleveland did, respond to the call of his party and his country. The republican national committee at its Monday meeting honored Mr. Hoover by acknowledging him as the party leader, stating in an address to the president that re publicans "will continue to look to you for leadership in 'these difficult and dangerous days". Mr. Hoover in his let ter to the committee counseled cooperation with the demo cratic administration in matters that affect the public wel fare, but urged the republican party to oppose ideas which would be detrimental to the country. He reiterated the prin ciples which should prevail : sound money, law enforcement, restraint in spending and provision for adequate revenue, world peace, correction of political and economic abuses. Hoover goes out of office discredited. Roosevelt comes in with the promise of a new deal. That confidence in his new deal is waning even before he takes office is indicated in the trend of events, when fresh crack-ups in finance have occurred. Who. knows, but in a few months or years the people may be clamoring for the prosperity they enjoyed under Herbert Hoover? We hope the new deal works. If it doesn't Roosevelt in hia turn will lose popularity. A call for Herbert Hoover in 1936 both by the party and the coun try is not beyond bounds of possibility. We offer no prediction as to the politics of the next four years. Shifting events will write their own forecasts from month to month. Salem's "Subsidized Press" SENATOR SAM BROWN of Marion county made a vi cious and untruthful slur at the newspapers of Salem when in opposition to a measure requiring a two-thirds vote on bond measures he declared that in the Salem water sit uation municipal ownership adherents were handicapped "because of a hostile, subsidized press." The newspapers of Salem are not hostile to municipal ownership of the water works and are not subsidized by the water company. So far as The Statesman is concerned it has consistent ly and persistently supported municipal ownership of the ' waterworks in Salem. It supported the original measure to issue $1,500,000 in bonds. It opposed a later proposal to is sue $2,500,000, solely because of the magnitude of the is sue. Later and now it opposes a pending measure to re peal this charter amendment because it is plainly an attempt to scuttle the entire move for acquisition of the water sys tem. The Capital Journal can speak for itself but it is on rec ord as supporting municipal ownership ; and no one familiar with the paper and its publisher would insinuate that it is subject to ."subsidy". The weekly Capital Press, nee Holly wood Press, has been a violent proponent of m. o. Newspapers of Salem are trying to do a responsible job in an honorable way; and resent the baseless charges . which Brown has released on the floor of the senate. The Truck Bill WHEN the people were asked to vote down the Os West truck bill last fall they were told that the subject was too complicated for popular legislation and should be left to the legislature. The people complied; and house biU 493, the product of much deliberation by the house committee, of a vast amount of lobbying by interested factors, and of minimum representation of the interest of the general public is the result. The bill has numerous good features. The railroads and motor carriers have combined to bring the contract carriers to the snubbing post. The fees charged however are inadequate as compensation to the state for the use of the highways and as contributions to correspond in part to the levies made upon railroads. The element of highway safety has been ignored. No new restriction is made on the size of the outfits which may trundle along the roads. No limit is put on the use of the roads by these double-jointed gasoline carriers which are a distinct menace to public safety. It is true the commission er of utilities is given some rather general powers in this di rection; but of very doubtful extent. The framework of the bilf is good; but it needs more muscle to give it strength. The truck interests have succeed ed in keeping regulation weak; and the public who voted down the West bill in hopes of getting a better measure through the legislature seem destined for disappointment. The lobby is too strong. The Intangibles Tax WHILE , the legislature is working over the tax system of the state it should include the present intangibles . tax in the individual income tax. Originally this high rate of. 8 with scant exemption allowance was justified as a lieu tax. It was levied on incomes from bonds and stocks because real property of equivalent value was taxed even more heav ily. But the point of the present tax program is the relief of real and personal property from the ad valorem tax to a very great degree. Such being the case the justification for "the separate and heavy taxation of intangibles fades. . The income tax.is now being drastically increased in Its levy on the people: It would seem to be bothfair and a .

Pellagra Is a disease involving the akin, stom ach, intestines and Barrens sys tem. R eaa be traced te the prolonged diet Dr. Copeland iing ta cer tain substances. The disease usually makes Its appearance during the summer months, bat uadoubtedly It can be traced te the diet of the pre ceding winter. A Deficiency Disease For many years this disease be wildered the medical profession. Since it first lnyolres the skin, tt was looked upon as a disease of the skta and" spoken of as a form of "derma UtU". At ens time pellagra was believed to be aa Infectious disease. Whea we learned about vitamins and came to have a better understanding of nutrition, tt was determined that pel lagra is a "vitamin deficiency dis ease." By this I mean that pellagra, like scurvy, rickets and ether simi lar diseases, follows the eating of food lacking in certain essential m gredlentx The akin symptoms of this disease are quite marked. There is first a reddish discoloration of the skin. This Is followed by scaling and peeling of the afflicted area. The face, neck and hands are most commonly in volved. The skin itches, burns. Is tender and usually swells. Sufferers from pellagra have marked nervous symptoms. These may lead to melancholia, with hallu cinations, stupor and convulsions. As would be expected, the victim of this disease complains of swollen and bleeding gums, increased s&llvatloa and a persistent diarrhea. Dae te Wrong Kind of Food Contrary to the common belief, pellagra. I am glad to say that it is man's disease. In most instances. It is true, lack of food can be traced to a lack of funds. But many cases are due to the wrong kind of food and not to the lack of food. Vitamin Q is the one that prevents pellagra is not exclusively a poor found in a variety of foods accessible to alL For example, It Is found ia large quantities In fresh lean meats, liver, milk, canned salmon, and wheat germ. In smaller quantities, it te found In eggs, dried beans and peas, canned spinach and canned string beans. Vitamin Q Is found in very small quantities in corn products, wheat and rye flour, oatmeal, salt pork, lard, carrots and rice. From what I have said yoa will not question that the prevention of pellagra is easier than Its cure. The disease is often difficult to relieve and frequently it undermines the general health of the afflicted person. Answers to Health Queries 8. Q. T. Q. What would cause a pain on the right side a little below the hip? Would dancing or swim ming cause further trouble or ag gravation? A. It would be rather difficult to say without making examination.

HENDRICKS Joaquin's greatest pooa: "b Harr Wagaar. his biographer and la lata Ufa his best And most helpful friend, said Joaquin MU ler's two greatest poems were "Columbus- and "The Passing ef Tennyson. Colambos was printed ta thl column ta last Wednesday's issue. Wagner also said: The Passing of Tennyson is perhaps tha best Illustration of his divine gift of poetry. Is "His unique claim of being a branch of the genealogical fam ily tree of tho kings of thought, Tennyson, Lowell Whittier and Whitman, expressed la a modest manner, la a rich heritage tor those who know and understand. '"My kingly kinsmen, kings of thought, X hear your gathered symphon ies. Such nights as whea the world is not, . And great start chorus through my trees.' "Again, the last six lines, Joa quin brings Tennyson all sileat into the living presence of tho redwoods and the rock-looked 'Golden Gate. Hero la poetry that by beauty of Imagery startles and awakens amotions as funda mental as life Itself. "Hallam Tennyson, the son of Lord Tennyson, wrote me a letter of appreciation for this poem from Australia. Tho letter came to mo when Joaquin Miller was tramping along the edge of the Arctic Circle in the gold rush In 187-S.M Ambrose Blerce wrote In part of this poem: In Mr. Miller's lines we have, I think, a superb instance of what wo have agreed to name Inspiration. ... If ever a poet's work Is done In the light and fire of a splendid spontaneity, this work must hare been so done. It seems now all very easy and obvious, doubtless that con ception of the malignant planet approaching the earth to search out the great poets and consume their lives, one after one. . . . Why, what has been talked of more this year than the common propinquity of Mars, with his bad reputation excepting, indeed, the deaths in quick succession of Browning, Lowell, Whitman, Whittier, and, at last Tennyson? S "Well, I wiU venture to say that no other man In aU the world than Joaquin Miller, and to him only because he Is himself a great poet with a great poet's accessibility to great thoughts, came the light of that revelation, even brokenly or with an evanes cent gleam. . . . Who but a great poet would have thought who but Joaquin Miller did think, of a nexus between the death of Ten nyson and California's unseason able rain? . . . Doubtless It Is pos sible to imagine that the silent tragedy at Alderworth might have been brought closely home to our western hearts; but he who oould imagine how It might be done would be a greater poet than Mil ler and Mars has let us none." V s s With the words above In mind, the reader will understand better as he scans the lines of what Wagner called the "best Illustra tion of his (Joaquin Miller's) di vine gift of poetry:" THE PASSING OF TENNYSON My kingly kinsmen, kings of thought, I hear your gathered symphon ies. Such nights as when the world is not, And great stars chorus through my trees. sees We knew it, as God's prophets knew. We knew it, as mute red men know, When Mars leapt searching heaven through With flaming torch, that he must go. Then Browning, he who knew the stars. Stood forth and faced Insatiate Mars. Then up from Cambridge rose and turned Sweet Lowell from his Druid where the great star blazed and burned. As if his own soul might ap pease. Yet on and on through all the stars Still searched and searched Insa tiate Mars. Then Stanch Walt Whitman saw and knew; Forgetful of his "Leaves of Grass," He heard his "Drum Taps" and God drew His great soul through the shining pass.

Browning died December II, 1S8I, Lowell August IS, lgl, Tennyson on October , lift; Whitman and Whittier having passed earlier in the Utter year. Joaquin used a little poetic li cense In the closing line of hit great tribute; but only a little. Perhaps some reader will observe that the passing of Tennyson was on the 58th anniversary of the landing of Jason Lee at the old mission kite 10 miles below tha Indian city of refuge that, It yean later, had its name changed from Chemeketa to Salem. "There is no thing that hath not worth; There is no evil anywhere; There is no ill on aU this earth. If man seeks not to see it there." The above lines of Joaquin Mil ler, introducing a chapter of one of his books, a library book be fore the Bits man, have written on the page margin these words: Do you believe this?" Below, in another hand, "False." But Joaquin MUler, including , f. Wanr "ei "his other self," believed it, and lived it.
