A Pathetic Spectacle
GOVERNOR ROLPH of California better keep still. 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.

extent. Some favor making the cir

the most of. Others think this would

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.

Frankly of course I have no defi

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

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,

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.
