( "Column Review"). .NEIA Roosevelt Versus Hoover HUEY LONG doesn't let a day go by, without lambasting President Roosevelt. No matter w hat he talks about in the senate, and Iluey talks most of the time, the president gets his broadside of billingsgate, before the Kingfish sits down. During one of his table thumping tirades about a week ago, Huey, no doubt, gave the underlying reason for this virulent outbreak of Rooseveltphobia. Huey castigated the administration for withholding from him federal paronage in Louisiana, and concluded by declaring that President Roosevelt is today as unpopular in the country at large as ex-President Hoover had ever been. THE Kingfish is first, last, and all the time an opportunist. As his mouth is always open so his car is always on the ground. When Roosevelt was on the top of the wave, Huey was with him, with sound truck and brass band; but when as inevit ably happens, the president's popularity started to decline, Huey "jumped" the pack, to bring about his downfall, and is deter mined to be in at the "kill." The Kingfish 's conviction that such action will be popular with the people, was undoubtedly the mainspring of his change of front. This and the fact that Huey is always for Huey he is in politics for what he personally can get out of it, and anyone who dares to place an obstacle in Huey's march to patronage and power, must feel the force of his royal displeasure, and his political opposition to the bitter end. BUT is the Kingfish correct in his analysis of the situation, as far as the president's unpopularity is concerned? That the president's popularity has declined no one questions. That the "honeymoon" is not only over, but gone never 'to return, no informed person would deny. But is it as bad as Huey makes out? Is it true, that a poli tician like the Kingfish is as safe in turning the vials of his venom and wrath on Roosevelt, as it is, and for so long a time has been, to throw the, bench and the water bucket at Hard hearted "Herbert", the sage of Palo Alto? WE think not. We believe Huey is about as right in this contention as he is in most of his others, which is from ten to fifteen percent. Huey not only loves to take a half-truth and dress it up as the whole truth; but he loves to take ONE little grain of truth, plant it in the soil of unrest and discontent, water it with his glittering generalities and empty promises, fertilize it with his Kickapoo hocus pocus, and bring it forth as sort of Arabian hanging garden. This legerdemain we believe, assuming of course he believes what he says which is always doubtful. If Huey really believes President Roosevelt is as un popular as his predecessor, or ever will be, he has for once, fallen a victim of his own technique deceived himself, along with his deluded followers. OUCH a transformation as Huey envisions is, as we sec it, simply not in the cards. It isn't a matter of political issues or beliefs, of what is best for the country or what isn't, it is a matter of temperament anil personality. Our own belief is, that if President Roosevelt lives long enough, he will not escape the unpopularity, the suffering, mental and physical, that for so many years, has been the in escapable fate of practically all our presidents particularly the greater ones. We the people for some reason INSIST upon placing our national leaders on the greatest heights and then, sooner or later, smashing them down again. We don't expect FDJt to escape this fate entirely. But we do expect him to have and to hold a certain degree of personal prestige and popularity, which President Hoover, through no fault of his own never enjoyed, and never will. It has nothing to tlo with polities, it is, we repeat, tempera ment and personality. In short, right or wrong, FDR draws people to him ; and also wrong or right, Mr. Hoover, doesn't, never did, and never will. One HAS it, the other HASN'T. That's all. Jane Addams Christian JISS JANE ADDAMS who died on Tuesday, had the unusual " distinction of being a true Christian. She was filled with the milk of human kindness; with pity for the lowly and sym pathy for the unfortunate. She saw much of evil and always returned it with good; she disliked violence and hated war, she loved tolerance and peace. A college graduate, the daughter of indulgent and well to do parents, Jane Addams turned her back upon a social life; DELIBERATELY gave up all ideas of a husband, a home and family and at a time when the course she pursued was taken as a sure sign of an unbalanced mind, life work. Establishing the now famous only set the standard for practical and constructive settlement work in this country, but by the force of her example made it, for many years, the fashionable thing for nice young ladies to do. 'T'llERE was nothing of the dilletante, however, about Jane Addams. Kindly, tolerant and understanding in her rela tions with others, particularly toward those less fortunate than herself, she was a force to be reckoned with when it came to political corruption, hypocrisy or sham. Several bocks could be filled with the fights she led at times almost single handed, to make Chicago a better place in which to live. And with the spurious, patronizing, smart society type ol benevolence she had no patience at all. IT would be nice to record that Miss Addams won her fight for belter social and political conditions in Chicago and this country, all down the line. But she didn't. She did great good, and the example she set and the principles she established, will continue to do Knnd through the years. Hut .she failed in many of her major undertakings, just as she failed to make anything but a dinner table joke out of the famous Ford Peace Ship during the World war. That peace ship incident, however, was after all, character istic of Jane Add.niK and i 0ne sense might be accepted as the yiiiliti of her life. Not that her life was a failure as that Ford venture, iar l'mru it. It was a full life and a glon he has followed in this case, adopted social service as her Hull House Miss Addams, not ously successful one. But Jane Addams was always shooting at the stars. Her reach always exceeded her grasp. She didn't care whether a thing was impractical or practical, feasible or not feasible, she was for it if she believed it was RIGHT! Well that peace ship was right in principle. In a truly Christian world or in an entirely rational world, it would never have failed. But it did fail, just as many of Jane Addams' political and social reforms failed, and for the same reason. Jane Addams had one of the finest faces and the saddest pair of eyes mortal has ever gazed upon. There was something almost Lincolneque about them. For this there was a reason. Her tragedy was the inevitable tragedy of a TRUE Christian living and working in a NOT-YET Christian world. Personal Health Service By William Brady.

REVIVAL OF TONY Two weeks after you had announc ed that Tony the W Irish Terror had gone to the hannv hunting grounds. we were delight ed to read in your column that :.e was revived and frisking .bout, bounding onto his favorite jhalr. etc. Th 3 nip of lodin Is i not so potent a I all that, is It? i (Mm. h. 8.) Madam, you c cruel. Your tter caught me niuu noma tiiiiLj ijr?akfast and with the prospect of waiting another hour for dinner, and at such a time it Is easy for a man of my extraction to burst into tears. Furthermore, I have become almost resigned to the dreary atmosphere around here. Then, too, lately there have been so sounds of tosnnils digging into the slippery stairs at 1 or 2 a. m. right up to the last Tony negotiated those stairs at least once every night to see whether by any chance I might have any little tidbit for him. If young Dr. Cornish, the Berkeley wientlst who brings 'em back alive, can revive all those mere dogs why can't I have Tony back again Just for a brief visit? What have I done that you begrudge me this little so lace? To be honest, I must confess that neither the nip of iodln nor the vita min ration actually restored Tony to life. What happened was a mlx-up of copy. I wrote the second item to which you refer a month or two be fore Tony's sudden demise. But in shuffling It over it got Into print ahead of the item telling of the old fellow's passing and the atmosphere of gloom that had come over us all when Tony was gone. I still urge that everybody who keeps a dog or a cat should see to It that the pet receives a suitable sup ply of iodln with Tony put a drop of the ordinary tincture of Iodln (iodine to you, old fossils) in a glass of water for myself once a week 01 so, and another drop In Tony's di$h of water once a week or so. It Is a kindness to animals, too. to see that they get their vitamins. Re member the case of the prize dog that became practically paralyzed in the hind quarters and got no relief from the various "experts" consulted, until finally a medical man doing nutrition research suggested vitamin B. and that soon restored the dog to health. Share your vitamins, as well as your Iodln. with your pet. While we are off the beat tho the NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntvre NEW YORK, May 23.

The paper Is put through a tank contain ing formaldehyde and this causes m eyes to water and smart. C. F. T. Answer It Is Injurious to the eyes, nose and bronchi, and to genera, health. Keep a bottle of plain am monia water on hand and ex post some In a dish so you can get a mod erate whiff of it whenever you art exposed to the formaldehyde. Or keep a vial of aromatic spirits of am monia and sniff at a few drops In the palm of your hand whenever exposed to formaldehyde. Secret of Happiness. Every few days it seems I get un usually cheerful, bright and happy for several hours. Then I bounce back to normal again. Could this result from any particular food or food combina tion, or the amount of sleep I've had, or is it some peculiar chemical changes in my system? J. B. Answer If we only knew the ans wer to that we could make the whole world happy. Your doctor, making health examination or survey, might find the explanation. Amalgam. Friend sent my young son some amalgam picked up at an old mine. To try to separate the mercury the boy put the crushed amalgam on the hot stove. The vapor left a quick silver coating on the shelf of the range and next day two of the family had terrific bronchial coughs and sore throats and felt wretched. Mrs. M. B. Answer Inhalation of the vapor ized mercury may have produced the trouble. Most accidental or industrial mercury poisoning is by inhalation of the mercury vaporized or volatil ized by heat, even the heat of th: body. (Copyright. 1935. John F. DUle Co.) Ed.
