IJECAUSE general economic conditions have greatly improved,

President Roosevelt naturally is anxious to do nothing to inter
fere with this improvement.
But probably no one realizes better than he does, that putting
into effect TODAT, the principles of. the New Deal, in which he
believes, can have no other result, than to retard recovery, at
least temporarily.
So the situation comes down to the familiar one of the Lady
or the Tiger. Which will it bet Will the president take his
stand NOW, meet these fundamental issues firmly and directly,
let the tail go with the hide, listen to Big Business yowl and
watch the stock market slide down or,
Will he mediate and compromise, employ his unquestioned
genius as a conciliator, to postpone the inevitable day of reckon

But what is done hv the

stone of his political strategy. '
President Roosevelt for example, undoubtedly wants a stock

break the tyrannical power of the'socalled Money Trust, once
and for all.
' He also undoubtedly wants
Henry Ford, General Motors, and the automotive industry as a
whole, to abandon their socalled company unions, and accept
affiliation with the American Federation of Labor.

WILL he insist upon these drastio actions now! If he docs
then the crisis which his election and the New Deal in
volved, has arrived, the long delayed social and economic Ar
mageddon is here.
If he doesn't, then, of course, the "show down" will again

JUDGING by the Democratio press in this state, the party has
launched a definite campaign to discredit and deflate Colonel
Lindbergh. For his criticism of the government in the airplane
controversy, and his refusal to act on Secretary Dern's commit
tee of inquiry the colonel is slated apparently for the junk pile.
The Portland Journal, as in most things Democratio in this
state, is taking the leadership, giving Lindbergh the razz
berry in one form or another, almost daily on its editorial page.
The main indictment is, of course, that by his criticism of the
administration, Colonel Lindbergh has shown that he has sold
out to Wall Street, that aa a stockholder and salaried official of
certain airplane companies, he has abandoned the paths of recti
tude and sympathy for the common man, and bowed his knee
before the gilded calf of Mammon. '
In yesterday's Journal, for example, the following editorial
comment is quoted, and given top-page prominence :
Until the pack of predatory wolves of high finance, using the
new Invention of aviation and Colonel Lindbergh's fame aa the
world'a flying hero to scuttle the nation's treasury, were caught
red-handed and abruptly sent packing with their graft-conceived
' contracts.
Then, and only then, did a nation learn lhat Its flying hero,
the once poor son of a father to whom wealth meant leas than
. righteousness, waa the victim of the malady that rota men and
nations alike. i
"The world waited long and patiently for this man to apeak,"
and when he did, a nation mourned.
So the nation mourned because this great hero of the air,
unlike his fathor, abandoned righteousness for wealth, and
stands revealed as the victim of a malady that "rots men and
nations alike."
First Lindbergh, dodging newspaper ' reporters like the
plague, yielded "to his passion for the spotlight and publicity,"
when ho penned that letter, now he is an example of mercenary
greed and money lust.
e s e s f .
IUST one word of comment on that last indictment!
Shortly after Lindbergh's return from France as this coun
try's air hero, William Randolph Hearst called him in, and of
fered him $300,000 in cash, if he would sign a movie contract for
just one pioture, that one picture was to be purely educational
occupying somowhat the same place in aviation that Bobby
Jones' pictures did in golf.
Lindy was a poor boy then j ho is not, according to our infor
mation, a rich man now. There was a way and a perfectly
LEGITIMATE way, for him to make a fortune to be indepen
dent for life.
But Lindy refused. Ho was very grateful to Mr. Hearst,
but he did not wish to capitalize his exploit commercially and
no amount of gold could tempt him to do so. He shook hands
with the wealthy publisher and walked out.

h 1 a regard, to,
he'll give the crl
a break In bis
next edition.
Food, says the
lexicographer,' Is
nutritive material
absorbed or taken
Into the body
of an organism
for purposes of
growth or repair
and for the main
tenance of the vita, processes. - I
reckon we can't Improve on that defi
nition. A skin specialist, perhaps bored to
extinction hanging around the office
waiting for the next patient, lectured
before a lunch club on the art ,of
drinking, according to an Item sent
in by our Michigan scout. Alcohol,
according to this lunch club savant,
Is "an excellent food 'requiring no
expensive digestion and offering no
difficulty to absorption, assimilation
and elimination," provided you take
only small quantities at each bout.
"About two ounces can be used dally
by the average person as a food." the
Item makes the doctor say. "It Is
most useful to the physician In treat
lny case where there is no appetite,
low vitality and digestive and ellml
natlve functions have ceased.'
Two gallons of alcohol might be
useful, too. for preserving portions of
such a patient after some more func
tions have ceased. First, however, a
ood physician should apply resusci
tation with one hand and clout over
the car any maudlin bystander who
attempts to give the victim a narcotic
denressant drug.
How easily this skin specialist set
tles the perplexing problem of the
utilization of alcohol in the human
economy. While physiologists, chem
ists and scientific experts struggle
endlessly with the question and never
arrive at a clear understanding, den
tists, skin specialists and brass sur-
neons with nothing to do can attend
the lunch club shindy and tell the
boys precisely what's what, and maybe
fiet their names mentioned In the
paner to boot.
To get two ounces of alcohol you'd
have to drink two quarts of beer a
day, or say a pint of American wine
or Vt, pints of European wine. Quite
a problem In Itself to pour all that
liquid down your gullet and still at

Answer There are several excellent
toilet soaps on the market. Avoid
soaps purporting to contain "anti

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
AN automobile dealer said to this
writer yesterday:
"Last year I couldn't get buyers for
the cars I had on my floor. This year
I can make sales, but can't get cars
to deliver."
Life is like that, Isn't It? Just one
thing after another.
BUT listen:
If life ever gets so easy that
we common, everyday folk don't have
to hustle and scheme and sweat In
order to make a living, running every
day and every week and every month
Into some new obstacle that we have
to overcome, LOOK OUT!
Trouble will be brewing. .
BACK In the fat years Ju&t before
1029, things were too easy.
Almost anybody could make money,
and almost EVERYBODY did. It Just
seemed to Ylow in, without effort.
And look what happened In 1029.
And look what has been happening
ever since.
LET'S try not to forget that one big
reason why times have been too
hard since 1029 Is that they were
TOO EASY for several years before
1929.
THE old passes and the new comes
on.
The newest of the new, so far as
transportation is concerned Is the
Union Pacific's streamlined, gas-driven,
aluminum train, which visited
Oregon this week and drew crowds
like a circus.
The fact that people are keenly In
terested in the new Is proved by the
way they turned out to see this new
train.
THIS train that passed through
Oregon Is an experiment.
But the experiment, apparently, Is
regarded already as a success, for two
more like It, only larger, have been
ordered for delivery some time this
summer s
The experimental train contains
three cars, all day coaches, but the
new trains will contain nine cars, In
cluding sleepers.
The eptire three-car train, inciden
tally, weighs only about as much as
one old-style Pullman.
W
HERE will this train be put Into
service?
Nobody knows, yet at least none
of the officials accompanying the
train knew. It Is assumed that It will
go Into service on some short run that
can be made In daylight, aa It has no
sleeper equipment.
There Is a rumor that It will go on
between Portland and Seattle.
IT Is expected that these new, light,
atreamlined trains will make the
run from Chicago to the Pacific Coast
In about 36 hours, which Is average
running time of about 70 miles an
hour.
The train Is capable of a top speed
of 110 miles an hour, and has been j
pushed up to that several times. . I
That 4s getting up toward airplane '
speed. !
- I
THE railroads, in building these
new, fast trains, are looking to
the future. In thla connection, J. c.
Cumming, assistant general freight 1
and passenger agent of the Union Pa
cific, said to this writer yesterday:
"The older generation goes on rid
ing the trains, It's the new genera-
tlon that rides the airplanes and trav
els by fast automobiles. There are
plenty of college students In these
days who have never been on a train." 1
-j
IT'S this younger generation, you see, 1
that the railroads are gunning for.
They HAVE to. or when the older
generation dies off they'll be out of
customers.
a)"
IT'S quite the custom among older
people to look with misgiving upon
the younger generation, and to shake I
a doubtful head over its goings-on.
But ever since the world began a I
younger generation has been coming I
on, and In the main It has been this I
younger generation, looking around ;
for new ways and new thrills, that
has been responsible for most of the 1
progress that has been made. I

Communications
A First Voter Speaka
To the Editor: !
Last year I attained the ripe old
age of 21, at which time so I was
taught In school-i it becomes In
cumbent upon a good citizen to reg-1
lster as a voter and aid ttiose candl-1
dates whom he thinks are best fitted
to attain the office they are seeking. J
As I have always been more or less
Interested in political Issues, I have:
looked forward with great enthual-j
asm to the time when I would be
able to fulfill the necessary obliga
tions and cast my first-vote. There
fore, per.hapa I am more conversant
with politics than the average young
man of my age. Is it to be wondered
that I am trying to be more than
conscientious about where my, to me,
so valuable, vote shall be bestowed?
There are three- factors that shall
govern the casting of my vote for a
candidate:
First My own personal acquaint
ance with the 'candidate.
Second The candidate's statements
on the various political ssues: 1. e.,
his platform.
Third His opponent's statements
concerning him.
Presuming that Mr. X has filed for
office. In order to find out whether
he shall garner my vote or not, I
shall Judge .him according to these
standards:
First My own personal acquaint
ance with the candidate.
I shall be able to do very little
measuring with this yardstick, Inas
much as my age will afford a serious
handicap to exchanging confidences
with Mr. X. I may be safe in saying
that not more than one candidate
out of an hundred will gain my vote
from this source.
Second The candidate's statements
on the various political issues., 1. e.,
his platform. In the past I have
found that most campaign speeches
are so Interspersed with "well turned
phrases" such as "From the rock
bound ccast of Maine to the sun
kissed shores of California." and
"We must all put our Khoulders to
the wheel," etc., ad nauseum, until
it has been found all but Impossible
to leave the orollstlc fireworks with
one positive statement upon which
one could pin their faith. Of course
I realize that a few resounding
phrases are a great aid in Incorpo
rating vividness In a speech, yet I
fear that the average style of de
livery used . when "stumping" for
public office would brtng a high
school public speaking instructor to
tears. Sincerity and candor delivered
in one sentence Is, to me. more far
reaching and effective than a book
full of bombastic oratory. Mr. X had
best take heed.
Third His opponent's statements
concerning him. Tftis could also be
changed to his statements about h!s
opponent vindication and mud
slinging have qualities closely akin
to rubber balls. Such things are
quite apt to bounce back to the in
stigator. If Mr. X used these means,
without definite proof, to discredit
and defeat his opponents, he mlg.ht
find admirers making excuses for
Mr. X's attitude and feeling sorry
for the Injustice done his competi
tors. He should remember that "all
the world loves the under dog."
Whether Mr.. X shall gain my vote
In the forthcoming election may be
easily summed up:
(1) W'-iat do I know of him per
sonally? 2) Are his speeches filled with can
dor, straight forwardness and hon
esty? (3) Does he speak of .his own record
and past accomplishments or does he
