The First Two Years
YESTERDAY President Roosevelt completed half his term.
In reviewing the first two years, what should be the verdict!
To judge the results, one must bear in mind the purposes.
President. Roosevelt had two main purposes: first to break
the back of the depression and restore prosperity; second, in the
restoration of that prosperity, to effect certain economic and
social reforms, which would distribute prosperity more equally
and fairly among ALL the people of this country, and thus
render it more permanent.
.
IN our judgment. President Roosevelt's reform program has
been more successful than his prosperity program. Child
labor has been eliminated, the right of organized labor to bar
gain collectively has been clearly established; the more obvious
abuses of stock exchange manipulation and exploitation, have
been removed; the holding company racket where it IS a
racket, promises soon to be put on the skids; and there has
been an extremely effective clean-up, carried out against organ
ized crime.
ON the other side of the ledger, the results have not been so
satisfactory. There are still millions of unemployed; the
national budget is not balanced and there is no indication it will
be; the federal debt has reached a new high, for all peace-time
history; and in business circles, particularly among the higher
ups, there is still a deplorable lack of CONFIDENCE.
That this lack of confidence has been stimulated by the re
form program, there can be no question. Bit? business is con
genially timid, and opposed to change. Wall Street is forever
seeing spooks in the dark, and catastrophe around the corner.
If there had been no reform program undoubtedly, business con
ditions today would be better than they are.
.
BUT would the prospects for the future, be any more reassur
inirl Wa rlonht it. For. as we. see it. nrosoeritv without
reform without, essential change, would have had within it
the seeds of its own destruction, a boom thus induced, would
be followed by another crash which might well be the final one.
In other words, we believe President Roosevelt's reasoning
that the. prosperity and reform programs must go hand in hand,
is essentially sound; that to abandon either at the expense of the
other, would have resulted only
....
THERE is another point to be considered. Recovery has been
slow, too slow to satisfy American business, as a whole :
or for that matter a majority of the. American people. We are
naturally an impatient people; wo are avid for results', and
quick ones.
But under such conditions as

Farm prices are higher, bank failures are fewer (in fact they are
practically unknown) ; in certain
biles, farm implements, tobacco, retail and department store
trade, there have been sensational advances; while in others, likn
the higher class railroads, steel, and even electrical consumption,
there has been substantial betterment.
A fair appraisal of the situation would seem to be conditions
are still bad, in many directions, but they could be a lot worse.
There has been marked improvement, but there is room for much
more.

THK OLD WOMEN MUX TALK
My wife la a patient in -

la dementia praecox, paranoid. The
doctors aay her

that she la abso

Por a day or two
she seema quiet
and cheerful.
But then there Is
plenty of trouble
. . . Some of her
women friends say I am hard and
cruel for not keeping her home. When
I visit her aha constantly repeats:
"You'll never have any luck for keep
ing me here among these Insane peo
ple. You don't want me. You put
me In here to get rid of me." Natur
ally It doesn't do my business any
good when these well-meaning but
Ignorant women go about the com
munity talking about my cruelty . . .
C. F. 6.
I don't know about that. Person
ally, I doubt the old biuybcdtes axe
so well-meaning or so ignorant. They
just take a special 'jellght in exuding
maudlin sympathy like that. Glvea
them, a self -righteous feeling and
takes some of the curse off from their
morbid curiosity and their conscious
prevarication.
Human nature, especially Yankee
human nature, can't be changed. The
only remedy for It Is to club It Into
silence. If you can possibly get one
or two good witnesses to testify to
the specific act. and then haul one
of the leading broadcasters of the
slander into court and have her pub
licly convicted, that would have a
wholesome effect on the sport.
Even If this man actually wished to
get rid of his wife by keeping her In
& hospital for the Insane, it would be
quite difficult for him to obtain the
cooperation of (a) the physician who
certifies the patient a of unsound
mind, (b) the physician who corrobo
rates this diagnosis, (c) the Judge of
a court of record who uommlts or
orders the patient confined in the
hospital or sanitarium, and (d) the
medical superintendent and e) the
resident or attending pr.ysician or
physicians In the Institution. Sup
posing, for the sake of a weird story,
the man could contrive to bribe or
buy all of these disinterested opin
ions, and land the woman tn the In
stitution, whet assurance has he that
one or more of the blighters will not
relent later and give the show away?
It is human nature to Imagine all
sorta of horrible things about "mad
houaes" or "Insane asylums" if you
are quite Ignorant of modern condi
tions. The truth is that anyone with
mental disease or disorder is In much
better environment and has better
care and a better chance for lmprove-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Alcoholism.
Pleae give your opinion of the as
sertion made In the clipping Inclosed.
P. K. H.
Answer .Says the near-doctor: "Al
coholic Intoxication la prevalent
among infants artificially fed . . .
we feed Snook urns refined starches,
and alcohol quickly forma In the
body from thera." Ever since some
chemist reported having detected an
Insignificant trace of alcohol In the
body of a normal person, half-baked
self -constituted "authorities" have
been trying to wangle out of the fact
ah argument in favor of "light wires
and beer." As everybody knows, au
ger ferment Into alcohol more readily
than does starch. There is consider
able sugar In the Infant's natural
food, human milk. Why drag In the
starches, refined or as nature pro
vides them? It would be as logical
to say that everybody suffers from
arsenic poisoning from the trace of
arsenic present in every healthy body.
Here's a Good Idea.
You have observed the good effects
of calcium lactate or calcium chloride
or calcium gluconate In asthma and
hay fever. Why not give such pati
ents cod liver oil or other vitamin
D carrier, together with sun baths
or ultra-violet Irradiation to make
their own food calcium available?
L. H., M. D.
Answer That la an excellent sug
gestion. Doctor. Perhaps tome of our
readers will try It out end report re
sults. Those subject to asthma or
hay fever may have a copy of a mono
graph on the subject If they provide
a self-addressed stamped envelope.
Alcohol and Kidney.
Please let me know to what extent
liquor Is harmful to one who has
had one kidney removed. W. M.
Answer The kldneya of drinkers
are usually found hyperrrophled, but
some physicians maintain that alco
hol la not particularly Injurious to
the kidneys. Tf I had only one kid

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
E of the present day have the
ea that we have all the trou
bles and don't hesitate to sty ao.
A to that, It would be Interesting
to get the views of the little group
of Oregon pioneers still remaining
the remnant of that determined body
of men and women who took this
state as a nw wilderness and built
it to where It la now.
What do you suppose they would
think of the Idea that we of today
have all the grief and all the
trouble?
THESE thoughts are suggested by
a recent gathering of pioneers of
southern Oregon which thla writer
bad the good fortune to attend, it
waa an Interesting meeting, and the
talks of the pioneers present offered
an Interesting contrast between the
developed Oregon of today and the
Oregon of early times.
It took a lot of hard work to
bring about this contrast.
WHO of us of t he later crop, for
example, could Imagine that the
green, lovely Wood River valley, now
one of the finest grazing regions in
America, was once practically a
desert?
Yet, Llnsey Stsemore says that's
what It was before the Ingenuity :
and the energy of the pioneers dl-'
verted the water Into Irrigation
ditches and spread It out over the
soil.
This soil waa light and powdery,
and before the coming of irrigation
it blew here and there in choking
dust clouds. Now It grows one of
the finest crops of grass on earth.
TAKING them by and large, these
pioneers were a hard-headed,
clear-thinking lot, and the heritage
of sound common sense they be
queathed to us Is one of the Inter
esting assets of the southern Oregon
country.
But even they had some queer
notions at times.
The Melhase brothers, Llnsey Slse
more told his hearers, butlt the first
ditch, some five or six miles long.
In the Wood River valley. When
they first announced they were going
to build a ditch of that length, one
of the neighbors told them:
"Shucks! You can't do that. You
can run water down off a moun
tain, but If you try to run It out
over the flat the curvature of the
earth will stop you, for water won't
run uphill!"
Dc
ON'T LAUGH. We of this genera
tion have Ideas far, far crazier
than that the idea, for example,
that we can vote ourselves rich; that
we can borrow ourselves Into pros
perity; that we can bring about
plenty for everybody by- plowing
under crops and killing pigs.
It TILL SHOOK, of Dairy, told how
IT the first potatoes came to this
section.
At first, it was believed that pota
toes could be grown only along
Klamath lake, so for several years
everybody went there to raise them
Then some bold thinker decided
to TRY growing potatoes at home
and when the crop was harvested
In the fall It was discovered that the
Dairy spuds were better than those
that had been grown along the
lake.
R. SHOOK S father planted some
apple weds at his place, and
they grew and made large trees. But
they didn't bear apples.
A stranger came through, and Mr
Shook asked him why the trees were
barren and what to do about it. "Go
out and gather up all the loose scrap
iron you can find." he was told,
"and hang It in the trees"
He did it. collected in old wagon
tires, horseshoes, etc., hung them
around In the branches, and sure
enough the very next year the trees
blossomed and bore apple.
A PREVIOUS pioneer dinner,
r th
this writer was informed Friday
night. Mr Shook told of a spring,
back In the early days that went
wrong water got to tasting bad.
So they cleaned It out to see what
was ailing it. and found the body ot
a dead Indian in the bottom.
FPED FLEET doesn't exactly rare
as a pioneer, but be tells a good
one about one of the first parties he
and Sirs, r.ee-r auenried after t:
went to the Klamath country.
It was Hslloe'en and while the
festivities were at their height, some
clever Joker unhitched all the hr.M-s
unharnesed them, threw the harness
Into a pile and moved the horses off
a mile or so to corral
You can Imagine the fun the hai
there In the dark that precedes the
d- n. unscrambling the horses in
the corral and later unrsmb'.irg

More Power to Governor Martin
To the Editor:
It should be refreshing to the lov
ers of constitutional government in
Oregon to learn that they now have
a governor who knows what his du
ties are and who has the "intestinal
fortitude" to perform them, threats
of recall and other acta of intimida
tion to the contrary notwithstanding.
For years the worst curse In the po
litical life of the state and nation has
been the existence of powerful and
domineering cliques and blocs. By
intimidating those In executive and
legislative positions who were too
lacking In courage to stand their
ground, these cliques and blocs have
made It possible for a small minority
to lay down and enforce the rules of
conduct for the majority.
Government was not created for
the benefit of any particular class of
people, but for all the people, and an
executive Is the representative of the
entire citizenship. No representative
form of government could survive the
rule of the bloc. Our government has
been decidedly weakened by this rule
In the past and present, and It Is in
deed fortunate that men are coming
into power now who appreciate the
dangers Inherent In this situation
It Is perfectly apparent that our
governor has taken seriously his oath
of office, and those who have known
him throughout the years and who
have watched his courageous conduct
In official places, knew that he would
In all circumstances do just that. It
Is almost like having "Old Hickory'
himself back with us, or "Honest
Abe." The Boston police tried to bluff
"Silent Cal," and found that "still
water ran deep," and a president was
made. Oregon should take pride In
the fact that It now has on "Iron

You may rest assured that tele
phone lines from the White House to
congress are still working, and work
ing overtime. The only difference; is
that no congressional leader will
again make the mistake of getting up
and blurting it out.
Don't sit up nights waiting for that
automobile strike. Privately, labor -ites
admit that no one, including the
A. F. of L., knows how many members
the federation has in autoa. Recent
elections. Indicated it did not have
enough to stop work on two fenders.
A. F. L.-era decline to regard these
figures a.a significant because of their
belief that the elections were Impro
perly conducted.
A more important consideration, ta
money. If a strike call were success
ful, H would call for feeding, maybe
housing, from fifteen to twenty-five-thousands,
which Is more than tha
A. F. of L. treasury could stsnd right
now.
What seems to be behind the move
Is sn effort to expose labor's lack of

When he tried to get one he always
found the supply out. and finally was
told: "You see, all the delegates want
pictures of the American delegate."
After he spoke on the forty-hour
week, a prominent European diplomat
approached him. saying: "That wa a
splendid speech. I did not agree with
a word you said, but your ideas wera
very impressive."
Lubln managed to escape before he
became inert, but some have not.
