Judgment WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 Mr. Roose velt fu sitting at the Whit House luncheon table the other day talking with a friend. During the conversation the friend remarked: "I think one of the secrets about good Judgment la never to make a decision when you are tired." j The president perked up lmmedl-1 ately and asked that the statement ; be repeated. "Never make a decision when you are tired." Swimming Obviously the president was mark ing that suggestion down In his mind among the items in his personal de sign for living. He has plenty of sim ilar Items filed away. Most of them relate to health. In recent weeks he has decided to swim In his private pool every day at 6 p. m. No matter whether the senate Is fuming the French default ing or the heavens falling, Mr. Roose velt drops whatever he is doing and swims at 6 p. m. Coupled with a rub-down from a masseur in the morning, this Is his only exercise. Relaxation No president has ever worked out his routine of private life more meticulously than Mr. Roosevelt. His main motive Is to relieve himself from the mankllling pressure of the job. He takes things as easy as he can. He has stated times for every thing. Including relaxation. There is no question but that our presidents have made many historic decisions when they were fatigued or rushed. If they let the Job get them, 'they are tired All the tiine, ,rr , Mr. Roosevelt's Ideas on that sub ject are well Illustrated by the fact that he went off on a yachting cruise In the midst of the London economic conference and tthat he is even now planning a cruise half way around the world for the coming spring. Hornlng-ln There are strong indications that a certain monetary adviser at Mr. Roosevelt's last money conference in the White House will NOT be there at the next. At least, the president has been Informed by one of hia New York friends that this certain adviser hna cleaned up In Wall street specula tions during the last six months and can hardly be considered a suitable confidant on such a subject as sil ver, for Instance. The adviser la NOT connected with any of the normal Wall Street agen cies and has no standing, except as a personal speculator. The Roosevelt Two highly successful business men were gossiping the other night about Roosevelt. Like everyone else, they could not exactly make him out. That Is they could NOT classify tiim as a radical or a conservative, or place him In any specific category, politi cally or economically. Finally one of them said: "I believe that if you will look back In the Roosevelt heritage you will find that all the men in that family were land owners. Did you ever hear of a Roosevelt who did not pay his debts? Did you ever hear of one who was a fly-by-night? A shyster? I did not. "I think that you will find, with out exception, that they are the .kind who generally pull their chairs tip to the fire at home 1n the evenings. I'm banking on that."

In Criminal Statute. Judge Le welling stated that from the pronouncements of the state su preme court and of Its Interpieta- tlons of the home rule clause of the constitution, it Is appropriate to state as conclusions the "Oregon liquor control act Is a criminal statute; that the legislature in enacting trie same exercised the police power of the state vested in It; and that municipal corporations can only exercise the police power of the state In so far as the same has been delegated to them . . . and then only so far aa the manner prescribed or limited by such grant.'

The code, Gehlhar announced, does not set up a creamery operators' or retailers margin high enough to pro tect the Inefficient operator or w.hich would give the efficient operator an undue profit. The clause providing such a minimum was eliminated by Gehlhar on the theory that it would put a half million dollars extra Into the pockets of private creamerymen and retailers with no provision of passing It on to the farmer. The only price cutting below cost would be upon a permit from the butter board for wholesalers, while retailers may do so by branding the package "Second grade butter." The code further provides that the sale of butter at wholesale by cream eries, wholesalers and manufacturers, at a price leas than the Portland cube price plus the entire cost of cutting, wrapping, selling and distri bution would be prohibited. Manu facturers selling at retail shall add to the price the same minimum markup as is required by retailers. A higher price for small and Icebox deliveries. No attempt was made to fix a definite minimum price. Manufacturers shall require retail ers who purchase butter from them to sell such butter to consumers at not less than a minimum price of 1 cent above the wholesale print price paid by them or such greater sum as may be specified in any code of fair competition or marketing agreement which may come Into ef fect among such retailers. Manufacturers shall also require that such retailers shall not sell but ter in combination sales with other merchandise. .
