Nandle'a Club Breakfast the beat la town loo to Mo, We Agree With Roosevelt I'HK Mail Tribune takes pleasure in agreeing with Franklin Roosevelt on bis public utility program, as outlined in Portland last night. Frankly, we did not expect to agree with him, We bad been told by an enthusiastio Roosevelt supporter, that when in Ore gon, the democratic nominee would, in view of Governor Meier's victory on the issue in this state, endorse the public ownership and operation of utilities, particularly regarding electric light and power. We fully expected a repetition of that vote-catching slogan "free light and power at no cost to the tax payers." e OUT Governor Roosevelt not only did NOT do this, he ex- plicitly endorsed the principle this newspaper has advocated for so. many years. He went clearly on record as opposed to publio ownership and operation, he favored control through a publio service commission declaring it the "proper way for the people themselves to protect their interests." ONLT WHERE THIS SYSTEM FAILS, to first: give good service, and second s charge reasonable rates, does he favor pub lic ownership, and then not as a permanent principle but as a threat, the "'birch rod" in the housewife's pantry to force Bad Boy Utility, to be good. A LL of which if we understand President Hoover's attitude toward publio utilities correctly, and the attitude of the federal trade commission in its last report, is sound Republican doctrine. President Hoover opposes publio ownership and operation, he favors the utilization of private initiative Roosevelt in last night's speech explicitly favored it also, and the last report of the federal trade commission, condemned the publio utility misrepresentation and propoganda through the schools, and the greed of the power barons and holding companies, just as vig orously as the democratic nominee. a e e IN other words on this issue, as on the tariff, farm and financial reconstruction issueB,' Mr. Roosevelt and President Hoover, except in minor details and they ARE minor, stand shoulder to shoulder, their differences are the differences only between tweedle dee and tweedle dum. Governor Roosevelt, apparently in an effort to avoid this obvious conclusion, laid considerable stress in his speech on criticisms ot President Hoover's utility policies, by his most bitter opponent, the radical Senator Norris, of Nebraska. But Senator Norris, openly advocates public ownership and operation. President Hoover doesn't. Mr. Roosevelt doesn't. The obvious conclusion is that Governor Roosevelt is using Senator Norris to deliver him the radical vote, but if he is elected, he will no more go over to the Norris camp, than has the President. If there has been any doubt, the democratic nominee removed that doubt last night, that on fundamentals he and the Nebraska rabble rouser, are as far apart as the poles. Roosevelt is not a radical, he is not even what Senator Norris would call a liberal. He is by temperament, training and im pulse a CONSERVATIVE. PINALLT Roosevelt's speech last night, again brings into sharp relief his inability to come out unequivocally for or against, ANT important issue. He can't resist the temptation to qualify, to hedge, to straddle. A close analysis of his remarks, shows plainly he favors pri vate initiative, he opposes publio ownership and operation; but he qualifies both positions so strongly, that we believe the rank and file of the American people who listened to his speech, do ot know today, just where he stands. , They heard him endorse private initiative, and state regu lation q utilities, they heard him advocate publio ownership and operation, and again they heard him advocate this ONLY where the former system failed, not as a permanent polioy, but as an emergency provision, a birch rod placed in the corner. And yet we feel convinced, many people, who believe in public ownership and operation, feel Roosevelt is with them; and many people who oppose the same, ARE convinced he is with THEM, which we fear is precisely the democratic nomi nee's hope and intention. The reason for this is, the people at large don't analyze speeches, carefully; they only others point to things they don't like, they are not quite sure where either they, or the oandidate atand. HOWEVER, this middle of the yoad stand which careful analysis shows Roosevelt takes on the publio utility ques tion, happens to be precisely the stand of this newspaper. We favor private ownership and publio regulation, we oppose publio ownership and publio operation, BUT whore after a THOR OUGH TRIAL the former fails to give the people a square deal, we favor the latter, first as a threat, second as an adopted prin ciple, only where the threat fails. Or to express it in Governor Roosevelt's own words, we favor a system which will give i "Electrical aervlce satisfactory and cheap enough, while at the same time, making poastbl the ssfe Investment of NEW CAPITAL doing Justice to both the consumers, and the INVES TORS in publio utilities." In short, going back to fundamentals, back to Governor Roosevelt's distinguished eousin, back to nothing less thnn this: - "Teddy Roosevelt's square deall" Editorial Comment And now petition are In circula tion In Medford for Pop Oat for county Judge.

A Long, Long Fast, A LaFolIette Beaten, She Abhors Marriage, Copyright King Features Synd., Ins. Emotional Wall Street felt SO MUCH better yesterday. Men that had sold short, think ing prices were going down and willing to help them go, covered their sales hastily. Al most four million shares were sold. "Plus" signs were scat tered throughout the price list, scarcely a "minus" sign vis ible. Wheat and cotton were cheerful also. The sad note was the statement "there was noth ing special to account for the rise." Poor Gandhi, starting his "death fast," says he is "anxi ous as anybody to live" and last as long as possible. He asks no sympathy. "After the first few days desire for food will vanish and I shall begin to brood." He will take no nour ishment except water until he dies, or "until the Hindu eon science awakens." Hindu national conscience or con sciousness hsa been asleep for more then ft thousand years. It will not awaken easily. ' What the effect will be on Hindu publio opinion if Gandhi decides at the last moment not to -die of starva tion and what the effect on English rule In India If he doe starve to death 1 uncertain. Perhaps the na tives will see a miracle In It, If Gandhi lives on. Governor LaFolIette of Wisconsin I beaten In the primaries by Walter J. K o h 1 e r, as conservative as Governor La Follette la radical. It Is the first time In exactly forty years that any member of the LaFolIette family has Ioat an election. The reason Is not obscure. When men lack Jobs, they vote to ohange the government. .. . That's what makes universal suf frage so valuable. It accepts only RESULTS, NOT argument. In New Jersey Miss Ruth Ann, no need to mention her Isst nsme, rich young woman of Philadelphia, had her choice of going to Jail or marry ing, on the spot, the man with whom she had been living. She told the Judge she "abhorred marriage," because ahe had seen so many "rotten" marriages. But ahe preferred marriage to Jail, and ahe married the gentleman. When ahe growa older Ml&s Ruth Ann will know that marriage la not aa bad as she thinks It Is now. Schopenhauer, In his "Studies in Pessimism,", says marriage la a con spiracy In which aU women have united "to compel every man to sup port some one woman tor life." That's ft poor description. Msrrlage is training school In which women for many centuries have been trying to educate men to live decently. .They havent succeeded, but they will suc ceed In time. The Standard Oil company of New Jersey Is offered ft forty year monop oly of petroleum salts In Cuba, If the company will pay off now the Cuban republlc'a foreign and Internal debt of two hundred million dollars.

The error la the bending of one arm tb place It under the head. Both arm should be extended or stretch ed forward above the head. There la neither scientific Justification nor sense in lifting the head upon one arm. The American Red Cross and all other organizations to the con trary notwithstanding. Schafer, who gave this method of artificial respiration to the world, directed that both of the eubject's arma be extended above the head, and the face be turned to one Bide for the free entrance of air. Who ever had the temerity to alter the method to the erratlo one taught by the Red Cross snd other agencies In this country, did so without good and sufficient reason. I believe that the lifting ot the subject's hesd even the thickness of the wrist or forearm may be the atraw w,hlch turna the acales against success In some Instances, and that alone ahould warrant correction of the error In the Red Cross method or a aatlsfactory explanation for the change. The lifting of the head tends to Interfere with the drainage of any fluid from the breathing pas sages. My friend.

But Prof. Henderson further assures me thst the chest 1 in the position moet favorable for Inspira tion when the aubject'a arma are extended above the head. So I warn the old guard not to call Prof. Hen derson aa their witness In the pro ceedings.
