The President 's Message CONTRARY to advance rumors there was nothing startling in President Roosevelt' message to congress. The message was sensible rather than sensational. Taken by and large it veered to the right rather than the left. The most definite feature of the message was the abandon ment of the dole. This had been pretty well anticipated in ad vance predictions. It means the administration is more con cerned with the morale of relief than its cost; the human factor is placed above dollars and cents. This is entirely in harmony with the Democratic tradition and the New Deal. THE President favors an enlargement of the public works program, and the abandonment of direct relief, as far as the government is concerned. If his suggestions are carried out, WORK relief will become a government function; DIRECT relief a local function. An increase in the LOCAL relief burden and a decrease in the FEDERAL- relief burden will follow, as a matter of course. In declaring that this new departure will be "under the framework and in the spirit of the American Constitution" as well aa "within the sound credit of the government" marks that turn to the right so frequently urged by the conservative forces of the country. The chief criticism of the opposition ever since the New Deal was launched, has been on the ground of impairment of federal credit, through a failure to bulance the budget; and the impair ment of constitutional guarantees through the building up of a bureaucratic dictatorship. To maks this veering to the right even more emphatic the President went out of his way, t re affirm his faith in the profit system, and to assure the country, that in this program of federal relief, the governmcnut will do everything in its power, to eliminate direct competition with private business, a a a I.T spite of this conciliatory attitude toward, what might be termed the business group in this country. Wall Street re fused to accept the message with any noticeable cheers. At any rate stocks wobbled about and finally went down. Well, ample ground may be found in the message to justify this reaction from the boys milling about the New York stock exchange. For they arc still suffering from shell shock, and nothing but the impossible is going to restore their morale. By the "impossible" we mean turning the clock of progress back, to the old days and the old deal. a-u. rannrt It la tOO WOt to do anything at home, and they are j said : too poor to go aouin.

The bb. season haa started, and unless the home guard awtnge Into action soon, there will be no grounds for a civil war with the sister city of Ashland, come next March, a New face will adorn the cthse In the morning. The past year has been very calm, and there ha been no ras cality owing to a lack of rascala. Colds are the order of the day, and there are more of them than when It was necessary to drive 43 miles In an auto with a broken windshield, on a foggy night, to get a cure. LADY LfflTlFE OF Let him who for speculative profit or partisan purpose, without Just warrant, would seek to disturb or dispel this assur ance, take heed before he assumes responsibility for any act which slows our onward steps." 1 And again after upholding the profit motive, and favoring the divorce of Government from direct competition with private business: "EU. America must foreswear that conception of the acquisi tion or wealth which through excessive profits, create undue power over private affairs, and to our misfortune over public Affairs aa well." And finally; "Among the subject that He Immediately before ua is the restoration of sound conditions In the publlo utilities field, through abolition of the evil features of the holding companies." Nothing here to alarm the enlightened and forward-looking business man, but Wall street, unfortunately, is neither. a a a ALL in ail this latest pronouncement by President Roosevelt, elenrlv rlnmnnut rules, in nni mlml his fiKupntinl nnnBorva. tism, his determination to chart a new path in national progress, but to route that path, neither to the extreme right nor the ex treme left, but in the middle of the road. From the maiu pur poses of the New Deal he will not be swerved; he is determined as far as it is humanly possible, to better the condition of the people of this country AS A WHOLE, to secure a fairer and more equitable distribution of wealth, to eliminate graft and greed; but he intends to bring this about, within the capitalistic system and under the constitution of the United States, not by a revolutionary radicalism on one hand, or a conservative dictator ship (Fascism) on the other. In thus striking a balance between the two extremes of politi cal thought in this country, the President loses some of the color nnd inspirational appeal found in his former messages; but gains greatly in soundness and stability. Committed as he is to opposition to the cash bonus, and through Mrs. Roosevelt to such radical economic heresies as the Townsend Pension plan, this message undoubtedly marks a very important step in President Roosevelt's political life. For it places the President definitely on the defensive against the cceBomio extremists in this country, and marks the start of a political realignment, which may find Franklin D. Roosevelt, paradoxical as this may sound, eventually fighting with the co-servatives against the radicals; instead of the other way around. Whether or not this will be a permanent condition and Franklin D. will go down in history as a Conservative president, depends upon how far and even more important how FAST the industrial and economic revolution which followed the world war, will travel.

MALNUTRITION AMONG THK VUXL TO DO ( 'ry "mm What physicians call dystrophy Is more familiar to the laity aa "mal nutrition." Perverted nutrition la the concept the doc tor intends to convey when he observe or notea that a patlent'a limb or organ or Bit In or muscle la "poorly nourish ed." This does not Imply that the patient haa not had suffici ent food. On the other hand It does mean that the food baa not been adequate for tne essential re quirement of the body, and the food of the wealthy Is quite aa likely to be Inadequate aa la the food of tne poor. Here la a reason why good doctors do not concern themselves much about the noble efforts bf various benevolent organizations, clu-a or as sociations to provide free meals for school chlKrea In the porer districts, tad all that Lady Bountiful bui.nesa. Only within the past year or two we have learned to recognize tieterl- oratlons or nutritional cteflcleraclea In tfce early stages when there to merely "functional" weakness; and by the therapeutic test we can prove that these partial, masked, vague deficien cy disorders or health impairments are quite common in all classes of the population. By therapeutic test I mean the administration of an opti mal ration of the vitamin or vitamins In which the patient is deficient, or the mineral elements, or the vitamins and minerals combined. Now X have no Intention of describ ing symptoms for readers to try on. We'll leave the symptor a or com plaints for patients to recite to their own doctor. But for example suppose patient complains of, oh, say. an- hedonia I reckon that will have most of you out on a limb and the examination reveals no evident cause for It, save a curious dietary obsession or habit which might derive the pa tient of one or more vitamins In the amounts nece&sary lor eutrophy hah, 've already defined that in an earlier piece, but once more it means normal or perfect nutrition. Well and good. the doctor has only to prescribe the necessary vitamins and Instruct the patient to call again In a week. When the patient calls again, if the diag nosis wae correct, it will be with smiles. That's a therapeutic test, and It la the best modern preventive med icine. If your doctor doesn't practice that way, he's an old fogy, and you may tell him I said so. Food or nutrition chemists some times get a large head (hypertrophy of the coco) and attempt to tell the public Just what sort of diet or food will prevent or cure this and that complaint. That Is sheer quackery, no matter how eminent the chemist may be in his own field. Hs is not qualified by training or expernce to diagnose the maladies for which he prescribes. He professes knowledge of pathology and diagnosis, of which he knows little or nothing. That's quack ing it or Noah Webster is a liar.

The 30-hour bill Is significant be cause it shows how we are thinking la these confused and uncertain days of depression. Work fewer hours and make room for more people. Produce less and RAISE THE Pities. Do less and HAVE LESS. That Is the way our thinking has run in recent years. f T may be all right, as an EMER OENCY measure, to get us out of the depression hole that unbalanced production has got us Into, put as a permanent policy, something to look forward to In the future, it's ALL WRONG. Work more, produce more and HAVE MORE Is the only policy that will bring prosperity over any consid erable period of time. nEOPLE who profess to be thinkers are telling us that since the ma chine has come Into human life the thing for all of us Is to work fewer hours and have more leisure. This writer, who is admittedly old- fashioned In many ways, holds to the belief that the thing to do is to work as hard as ever and HAVE MORE THINGS. 4 ties to produce an abundance for the comfort and happiness of every man. woman and child in the United States, Yet has 17 million people on relief rolls. Therefore It is self evi dent that our trouble is faulty dis tribution cf our national abundance The only way to correct this Is through purchasing power to these millions. This means the masses who are idle must have employment be fore they can have purchasing pow- To accomplish this, balance the hours required In Industry by the available hours of the people who must necessarily bo employed, all working less hours per week, or 2nd, pension and retire a suffi cient number of people in the older age bracket tj supply Jobs for the younger element wi.o necessarily must be employed.

When boiled down this means an Income of $170 per year or (14.00 per month as an average Income for each of our Inhabitants. If this Is correct what must be the minimum as there are a lot of peo ple who get much more than M4 per month. I would like to repeat the old story of a stranger who was a guest at a hotel and on leaving for a week's absence gave the hotel proprietor a SMi 00 bill for safekeeping until his return. The hotel man betng short of money used the tf0 bill to pay the tailor hla long overdue bill for a suit of clothes. The tailor paid the fifty to the dentist who passed It to the grocer to settle his account. The frocer paid his clerk the fifty dot lar bill on his salary and the clerk paid the hotel man the same fifty to settle his board bill. At the end of the week the stranger came back and the hotel proprietor returned the fifty dollar bill to Ite owner. The stranger said he was Just keeping the 930 hill as a souvenir aa It was a bogus bill that had been parsed on him and he m-ftt afraid to carry It lest he might accidentally paw It and thereby get into trouble with his Uncle Sam. All of which bring to mind that after all the exchange of commodi ties is what makes prosrertty and money ta simply the medium of ac complishing this end Mr. Schumacher undertakes to crush the Townsend plan but he of-1 fers nothing to accomplish what this plan Is designed to cure, "unemploy ment and poverty."
