In a Tough Spot
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT feces a very obvious and interest-
ing dilemma. The more he succeeds with the New Deal, the
greater his risks of political failure.
For one of the chief purposes
to restore prosperity. Tet the
becomes, the more resentment
which the New Deal proposes.
It is a repetition of that well known Rabelaisian adage
"The Devil was sick the Devil a monk would bei
The Devil was well the devil a monk was he."
When the New Deal was
desperately sick. It was also
willing to be a monk, it was

Would Big Business be good

welfare and less of private greed t
It would. It would do anything LITERALLY anything
if the doctor would only put the
make him well.
QINCE that first treatment conditions have materially im
proved. The patient has not regained his FULL vigor, but
he is no longer afraid of shuffling off this mortal coil. He no
longer sees the undertaker lurking just around the corner. He
is quite confident he no longer needs a doctor, and if left alone
will soon be himself again.
But the doctor has other ideas, He asks, how about that
promise to be good. How about that promise not to return to
the habits which led to this eatastrophie breakdown. The doc
tor wants a complete cure not a half-cure. And if the patient
returns to his old ways, he believes, a relapse is certain.
HPHAT is approximately the situation now. The criticisms
of the New Deal at the recent convention of the U. S. Cham
ber of Commerce, show the handwriting on the wall. Through
out the country, with everyone feeling better, the idea of con
forming to certain rules and regulations, is becoming more and
more repugnant "Medicine is all right when one is ill, but who
wants to take it when one ISN'T."
KTO one 1 And the better business becomes the stronger will
' be the outory against the NRA and further ''regimentation."
So we repeat President Roosevelt is between the devil and
the deep blue sea. 'The better business conditions become, the
greater the outcry against the Ngw Deal.

HERE'S MY IDEA ABOUT EXPOSURE
REMEMBER THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY
A certain quack In the newspaper
health column racket (not myself,
but another) hands his readers this
'Getting chilled
ls bad, because
the chilling low-
era the resist-
ance. . .
"Consequently,
you will take cold
more easily If
you pumper your -
self by staying
all the time In
overheat-
ed rooms."
If y o u can
make anything
of that you're a better lawyer than I
am. ' To my mind It la Just another
way of saying "ventilate but beware
of drafts."
Scientifically, experimentally, we
have no evidence that ordinary chill
ing, such as people commonly ex
perience every day, has any appreci
able effect on the degree of Immunity
the Individual happens to have
against any known disease. The talk
about "lowering resistance" Is Just ao
much blah. Apart from Immunity,
which Is a clearly recognized and
measurable state, there la no such
thing as "resistance" anyway.
Now I want to be perfectly fair
with you. If I'm at all off my nut
about thla It Is right that you should
know It, for nobody cares to follow
the health or medical advice of a doc
tor who is clearly batty In the bel
fry. So here I lay all my cards on
the table. I give you my sincere
conviction or belief. I challenge any
one to controvert It In any point. If
you think I'm wrong, very well, my
ravings may abuse you but tan't do
you any harm. If you think I'm
right, then try following my sugges
tion and see how it works out In
your own case or In your home.
I believe exposure to cold, wet, aud.
den changes of temperature, weather.
drafts, winds, dampness and the like
never cause any Illness except frost
bite. I believe that any child of
normal mentality knows better than
anyone else whether he la warm
enough In any circumstance. If the
cold, or dampness, or draft, or lack
of clothing proves at all uncomfort
able, I think the child or adult may
be safely left to seek ft warmer or
more comfortab?? place or to put on
more clothing or to change to dry
things when convenient, and mean
while nobody should worry about It.
I believe It Is rather better for
health In all circumstances to have
the dwelling a bit underbeated, or
to wear leas clothing than is the rule,
or to cultivate the draftler part of
the room rather than avoid the cir
culating air. I believe coddling or
pampering with too much clothing,
too warm air, exoludlng draft and
all that, tends to prevent the indi
vidual from developing the fullest

I do not believe In "hardening" or
exposing children .or adults to dia

likes to go with knee bare In winter,

any clothes at alb I'd say by all
means let the child do a he likes.
i Likewise I favor the steady growth
of the movement for nudism, or as

In my experience when any one
suddenly stuffs up and begins to
sneeze or sniffle or cough In a draft
or when he ventures outdoors with
out his muffler on or without his
overcoat on a damp day, he Is not
"taking cold" at all; he Is merely
presenting an excessive reaction to

his CHRONIC rhinitis, sinusitis or

mer. That is a little flash of Intelligence.
The women will wear what they wish,
anyway, just as they have since the
world began beach commissioners or
no beach commissioner.
WHAT 'people "wear" ia a matter of
v convention, entirely.
In the Jungles of the Amazon, ex
plorers tell us, are two savage tribes,
living near each other, The women of
one trrbe wear clothes. The women of j
the other go naked.
From time to time men of the
naked tribe steal wives from the
clothes-wearing tribe. These new wive
are promptly Informed by the
scandalized new sisters that wearing
clothes is an Immoral and suggestive
custom and must be stopped.
FROM bathing 'suit back to the
stock market, Another long
Jump.
That's the way the new goes first
one thing and then another.
A SENATE 'committee was told the
other day that since 1928 mem
bers of the New Tork stock exchange
have made a THOUSAND MILLION
dollars in profit depression or no de
pression. A thousand million ts a billion. A
billion dollars 1 a lot of money es
pecially in these depression yesrs.
A lot of us are going to doubt grave
ly whether the service performed by
the stock market during these de
pression years have been WORTH a
thousand million dollars.

Ye Poet's Corner
All Aboard the Fastest Train;
It's Southern Oregon for Ma
I have roamed over valleys and seas,
But give me a home by the Roguo
Oh, please I
I have lived In the east, I have lived
In the west,
But Rogue River Valley Is the best.
Sea gulls sailing over land and sea,
Progs In the bogs no more for me.
Prom the Ice and the snow and the
fog and rain.
Take me 811 aboard the fastest train.
Chorus
Oh, take me back to Southern Ore
gon,
Southern Oregon, Southern Oregon.
lake me back to southern Oregon,
Back again to stay L
Where the sun Is ever bright.
Where the climate Is Just right:
Oh, take me back to Southern Ore
gon, To a great country.
Verse t
Sparkling like a mirage
Of the Garden of Gods.
A specter at the end of the rainbow's
nod,
Nestling 'neath skies of blue.
On Nature's bosom born a-new,
Rests the Valley of the Rogue.
So when you're treklng and home
seeking.
Don't be sleeping all of the time.
For the signboards on the highway
Will point you to the highway
To a wonderful country.
Verse S
Your lake and your streams '
Renew all of my dreams; ft'
A paradise below In my fancy gleams
'Neath mountains grand and proud.
Peeping down through a cloud
Wondrous beauty by nature en
dowed.
When I cease your byways here to
trod
Just let me rest beneath your sod
Where my slumbering soul shall rest
and be at peace.
Por I know your beauty ne'er shsll
cease.
P. V. Bradford.
