The J more he tries to explain his inexcusable stand on lynch law, the deeper he gets his foot in it. More than that. Unless Sunny Jim, who prides himself so on his breezy western ways and his ten gallon hat, stops talking pretty soon, he will lose what popular support he enjoyed when he made his first statement. For that support came largely from, those who like to'hear a man in publio life say what he thinks a man not only with convictions, but with the VGTJTS" to stand by them. Alarmed apparently, by the wave of disapproval against his original endorsement of mob violence, and the extent of the reaction that has already set in against it, Governor Rolph is giving ample evidence that he lacks even that intestinal forti tude, he was first credited with. For now he claims he DOESN'T favor lynch law and never haa. But he does approve of the action of the San Jose mob, because it served notice on the world that California will not countenance kidnaping. WHAT a PATHETIC straddle ! There were only two things for fjoveronr rfnlnh rn An vclnetn thn atnrm ia tiimoalf created, broke. Either frankly admit, that in the excitement of the moment, he had spoken hastily, that he, as an executive of a great state iworn to uphold the law, had made a serious mistake, was glad to admit It and do what he could to rectify it or: STICK TO HIS GUNS, admit he had not only endorsed the lynching at San Jose, but had advocated SUBSEQUENT lynch ings, and JUSTIFY that stand by the belief that violent crime had become so rampant in this country, that lynch law and mob violence should be generally evoked, whenever the crime of kidnaping was involved Not only would either stand have been readily understood, but Governor Rolph would have retained even the respect of those who differed with him. For all the world loves a fighter, a man right or wrong, with the courage of his convictions, who regardless of the clam or, will fight for a cause in which he believes, even tho he" fall.

Some favor making the cir culating medium, whatever you have the most of. Others think this would be too bulky, and urge that the lOU'a be honored with federal control of lead pencils. A person's word would bsck the IOU, and. If not paid. It would always stand against the signs tor. The finger of scorn would be pointed, If he did not redeem hie paper, and few could atand that die grace. Reactionaries still cling to the present medium, on the grounds that practically everybody can write, and chaos would ensue. They are Judasea. FOLLOWING this our guess is Mr. Roosevelt will clear the deck of an accumulating mass of misconceptions and irrcle vancics. Judging by many of the criticisms, from this college and that, this expert and that, the present government is head ing straight for a devastating inflation, including eventually such things as fiat money, free silver, and the commodity dollar. President Roosevelt can'Bhow the absurdity of such charges, and if he wishes explicitly state, that his present monetary rolicies inoludo NONE of these things. He is not for printing greenbacks. He isn't committed to demonitization of silver. He perhaps believes there is something in a commodity dollar, but he can't provide one. That will have to be doneif it IS done by congress. JUST WHAT then do his critics wantt They want sound money, a stable currency, they want so to speak, to know where they are at. Well that is precisely what the administration wants, it wants sound money, a stable currency, it wants to know where IT is at. . And that is the real. crux of the president's present monetary endeavors. He is through his trold mircha.m nlnn. foolincr hi way toward the determination of the value of the gold dollar trying to determine what its final weight should be. That is all. And that he thinks is enough. His only quarrel then, as we see it, with his critics, is whether this determination should be made NOW or LATER. The for mer want immediate action; the president wants more time. And there, we have a hunch, the issue will sUnd. President Roosevelt, unless we are greatly mistaken will in this speech, put the critics of his monetary policy,, in the same boat as the critics of his domestio relief plan, those who want a gigantic job of rehabilitation and reconstruction, done in a short time, when the essential complexity of the problem, requires not only time, but research, experimentation and PATIENCE 1 A dentist writes and I call attcn. tlon to the fact that my plea to the dentists to relinquish the professional use of the title Doctor" t o us physicians exclu sively has not alienated the af fectton of all den ttsta that hla wife bruises very easily, a n d h e would like my ad vice about it. She g e t a black and blue marks on her legs, thighs, body or arms from the slightest pressure or trifling clow or pinch. The doctor wonders If this la due to poor circulation. She Is 29 years old. Frankly of course I have no defi nite notion what alls the poor girl, but sometimes well. I hate to In sinuate but maybe If the doctor would not handle her so roughly, now. I venture to suggest that the lady needs to have her calcium metabol ism looked Into. If that seems too formidable for her, then she might while away some of her spare time and a hunk of the doctor's spare money taking unbaths, or If ahe can't afford aunllght, then ultravio let lamp treatments. If she doesn't like cod liver oil well enough to smack her lips after a spoonful or two of 'It every day, then she may substitute a dally tablet of volaterol dentists get pjotty good fees now adays and she can afford to squan der a little on such luxuries. If or when she goes to aee about her calcum metabolism It might be well for her to ask the doctor to make sure her parathyroid glanda are functioning properly and If he thinks they're inclined to soldier on the Job ne may prescribe whatever he deems Indicated. All on her own, without asking permission or assurance from any body, the poor lady may take a course of cslclum lactate, In tableta or In powder form, say ten grains three times a day after rood, with a good drink of water or a little avrun to chase the dose, and keep this up steadily for a period of not less than eight or ten weeks. No use messing around with the calcium lactate for less than that time. No harm In It anyhow, except that occasionally It upsets the stomach, though this Is less likely to happen If the tablet Is crushed to powder and plenty of water or sweetened drink taken with It. To further promote good calcium metabolism the bruised lady should see to it that her diet la not aparlng In calcium (lime). Yolk of egg, fresh milk, cheese of all klnde, peas, beans, cabbage, lettuce turnlpa all kinds of greens, nuts, raw carrots, oranges, celery, radishes, peanuts, olives, oat meal, are good sources of food cal cium. Above all, I hope the doctor will try kindness and tenderness on her for a while and see If she won't re spond even If she Is a bit young and headstrong. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Waterless Cooking Is the so-called waterless cooking or steaming of vegetables better from the health viewpoint than ordinary boiling? Is any significant nutritive loss involved In the practice of pour ing the cooking water down the sink? (M. R. C.) Answer There la no significant nutritive loss Involved, except In the rare case where the Individual's diet is restricted to vegetables ao cooked. The cooking water contains some of the mineral salts dissolved out of the vegetables, and la good to use In making soup or gravy, but the min eral salta so lost are readily made up by the mineral salta one gets from eating raw relishes, salad, vegeta bles, fruits, greens,, milk, cheese and the like. The method of cooking la rather a matter of your own taste or preference rather than a health problem. Cleft Palate Not Hereditary ' I was born with cleft palate. My mouth la practically perfect now, thanka to skillful surgical correction. although I have no uvula. I am en gaged. I wonder If any children born to me would be likely to have this defect? (C. a. M.) Ans. Not more likely than chll dren born to anyone else. No one knows why such defects as cleft pal ate, hare Up, club foot, and 'the like happen. They Just happen now and then. These developmental de- recta are congenital (present at birth) but not Inherited. Copyright, 1933, John P. Dllle Co.) Flight 'oTime (Medfora Ana tiackwD coddcj dutuo from the tut 01 rut .

Beverly Hills, Caili WH1LL0CK SALE Ti E The continued success of our store- wide sale Indicates the fact that southern Oregon people are buying useful gifts of apparel for Christmas. according to C. A. Whillock, manager of the Golden Rule store. Mr. Whillock returned last week from fltn Francls-io where he purchased merchandise to fill In depleted lines. Some exceptional purchases of pre-tnventory dry goods ready-to-wear and shoes were made in the California metropolis, Mr. Whil lock said. "We have been extremely gratified with the growing business of our west- side department store," Mr. Whillock stated yesterdny. "Our sales have shown a conslsttfht lncresae every month since our opening In our pres ent location, with the exception of the period of the bank holidays, our very successful store-wide sale la be ing conducted In appreclatlbn for thla splendid patronage on the part of southern Oregon people," he said.
