AS everyone knowg Charles Evan Hughes wag defeated for
the presidency, by California. Had Mr. Hughes never vis
ited our neighboring atate he, instead of Woodrow Wiluon would
undoubtedly have been. America's war president
Or, when the Republican candidate crossed the Siskiyous,
had he refused to take sides in the bitter conflict then raging
between the Hiram Johnson and the Crocker factions, he prob
ably would have been victorious, for it was his alleged snub of
Hiram, that placed California in the Democratic column the
following JCovember.
However it was a tough spot for a forthright gentleman like
New York's former governor, who was not particularly adroit
in the game of practical politics, and felt he had to choose one
side or the other. As the anti-Johnson leaders got to him
first, boarding his train at Dunsmuir, he went in their direc
tion, and felt he couldn't consistently go in Hiram's direction,
when that luncheon invitation came along a little later.
a a a a
WITH this historical contretemps in mind, so vital in the
political destiny of this country, it is doubly interesting to
observe President Roosevelt's entrance into California, and note
how he handles a situation, so similar to the one which proved
so disastrous for the present chief justice and the Republican
party.
Change a few names and the entrance point from the north
ern to the southern boundary of California, and the two dilem
mas are practically IDENTICAL I
THERE is today a split in the Democratic party of California,
facing President Roosevelt, strikingly similar to the Repub
lican split in 1911. As Hiram Johnson was the cause of the
trouble then, Upton Sinclair is the cause of the trouble now.
As Crocker was the leader of the Republican regulars then,
Senator McAdoo is the leader of the Democratic regulars now.
But for that motor accident which befell the junior senator
from California, no doubt McAdoo and his lieutenants would he
meeting the Roosevelt party at the southern border, as the
Crocker forces met Mr. Hughes over 20 years ago, and with
precisely the same intention, to gain the sympathy and support
of the party leader.
It has been rumored a secret meeting between President
Roosvclt and Upton Sinclair, has been arranged for some point
in the California desert before the presidential special arrives
in Los Angeles. This may or may not be true. But it sounds
plausible.
THIS much can be accepted as certain. The somewhat crude
"honer" which vraa resnonRihle for the Huehes disaster, will
not be repeated by the present occupant of the White House.
Think what we will of Franklin D. Roosevelt, friends and
foes 8re agreed on one thing he is the smartest politician, to
occupy the White House, since the redoubtable T. R. wielded the
big stick and spoke softly, from the hill on the hanks of the
Potomac,
If, it is humanly possible to please the Sinclair faction, which
practically controls the California democratic machine, without
alienating the McAdoo faction, this will be done.
But just HOW will F. D. R. do itt
This is what will be so well worth watching and KNOWING.
What subtlety, finesse and skillful maneuvering will be employ
ed, to accomplish what Justice Hughes failed to accomplish, and
what on the face of things Bppears so difficult in fact impossi
bleto accomplish.
WILL history repeat itself and California prove to be the
Roosevelt Waterloo slant Or will a little thine like a
party civil war, and a fight to
be taken with a smile and in
mindt
The political historian will certainly have out his spy-glasses
and note book as President Franklin D. Roosevelt proceeds thru
the "bad lands" of southern California and until he finally
embarks for that, fishing trip along the const of Mexico!
Capital Goods Recovery
POR two years each minor boomlet in the slow uptrend of busi-
ness hss found the industries producing durable or "capi
tal" goods lagging behind. Gcnernlly it was held that the great
est single drag on a sustained recovery move was this section of
industry. During the last four months steel production hns in
poration of Wall Street, New York City.
Although a late starter, the production of durable goods is
now credited with having contributed more to the general im
provement in business since May of this year than any other
indntsry. During the last four months steel production has in
creased sharply while the output of pig-iron has shown fair
contra-seasonal gains. Activity in the lumber industry hns been
on an upward trend with the rise in building to its highest level
in almost four years. The advances made in machine tool manu
facture, a direct gauge of enpitnl goods activity, are illustrated
by the volume of business at the recent Machine Tool Exposition
at which sales totalling $5,000,000 were made in a ten-day period.
Orders received for future delivery were reported at between
forty and fifty million.
The tardy but. welcome upturn in the capital goods industries
is variously interpreted by business analysts. Some hold that it
is attributable largely to natural recovery forces. Others see
the federal works program as the medium that set the ball
rolling. The real answer, as is usually the case, probably lies
between the two extreme points of view.
A normal accompaniment of revival in durable goods is a
large volume of security underwriting to finance the purchase
of such goods. While the amount of new financing is still
relatively small, the volume of underwriting is at the highest
level aince 19.11. For the first eight months of this year, the
monthly average has been a shade over $1 (55,000,000. Refunding
issues made up the greatest portion of this figure, being shout
85 of the total. New capital
ing and the monthly average so

If you regard a boy as a purely

correct. Boys need nine hour of
sleep every night when they are
growing, especially when they play or

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Hard Workers Need Salt
Please give your comment on the
statement of thla country doctor. X
gathered from your articles that moat
people take too much salt. (O. E. O.)
Answer. The young country doctor
is unnamed in the newspaper Item
which quotes him as saying men who
work hard on farms In summer often
have cramps In their legs at night,
and they should eat more salt, as
they sweat most of the aalt out. I
don't know about the leg cramps
our readers could soon set us right
about that but I think the doctor
la right about the advisability of
taking extra salt when one does much
sweating. Workers exposed to extreme
heat find that they stand It better
and avoid heat cramps when they
make It a regular practice to take a
little salt wUh every drink of water.
Indeed,, dispensing machines set up
alongside the drinking font provide
tablets containing five or ten grains
of salt for this excellent purpose.
What. No Swimming?
I was operated on two years ago
for mastoid and now mother thinks
It is dangerous for me to go In swim
ming. (Miriam).
Answer. Why not ask your doctor
about It, Miriam? Perhaps he will
tell you how to place soft rubber or
wool In your ears to prevent entrance
of water, and how to plug the nasal
chambers against entrance of water,
and how to breathe entirety through
your open mouth while you are in
swimming. It would be safe then.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FBANK JENKINS
A TRAVELER who has Just re
turned from Meileo Citj spoke
ths other day before a South.rn
Oregon service club at whlcb this
writer wss fortunate enough to be
present. Next to traveling oneself,
the best thing la to listen to
someone who has traveled.
Since the daya of Marco Polo,
we've all liked to listen to stories
sbout the other fellow's country.
THE peso Is theMexlcan dollar.
Its value la based on silver, not
gold, which Is ths baals of our
dollsr's value.
The value of the peso, the trav
eler told his hearers, fluctuates
widely snd rapidly, running all the
way from 38 to 96 cents American
during the relatively short time he
waa In Mexico.
That Is to ssy, what your week's
wages will buy depends entirely on
the value of the peso, which In
turn depsnds on what people gen
erally think the peso Is worth from
day to day.
(If we're wise n this country,
we'll stick to hard dollars, which
sre worth the same one dsy aa
another, and let Mexico and other
countries have the rubber dollars)
THE Mexican peon, ha related,
lives and keeps his family on
the equivalent of some eight or
nine American dollara per YEAR.
Unbelievable?
Not at all If you've ever been in
Mexico and have seen the scale on
which the Mexican peon and his
family live. It wouldn't be called
living In this country.
PAUSE here for a moment and
consider this PACT:
Mexico, from the stsndpolnt ot
natural resources, is aa rich aa the
United states. It haa pleasant ell
mats, productive soil, vsst mineral
deposits snd trsckless forests.
The difference lies In the SYSTEM
under which its people live.
THIS writer, who Is admittedly
old-fashioned and finds It hard
to believe that everybody can he
made rich by passing a law or mak
ing a apeech, holding to the ancient
notion that what we get we must
work for, vsstly prefers the Amer
lcsn system to the Mexican eys
tem, which la based largely on the
time-honored method of promising
everything and delivering nothing.
That la the demagogue's wsy.
EVERYWHERE.
This American system of ours hss
brought us the highest average
standard of lltlng on earth. Lets
keep It regerdless of what the brain
trusters may say of It.
ANOTHER interesting statement:
"As the train stopa In Mex
ican towns snd cities, the Amerlcsn
tourists on bosrd sre simply flooded
with things for ssle. It la to be
noticed that as the train atops the
asking prices are MUCH HIGHER
than Just before It Is due to stsrt."
Humsn nature, you see, Is the
same In Mexico aa elsewhere. It is
humsn nsture for the buyer to ask
as he thinks he MAY get and to
take what he flnda he CAN get.
MEXICO, as "already atated here,
Is NATURALLY as rich aa the
United States, with productive soil,
pleasant climate, vast mlnersl re
sources and huge forests. It is only
the SYSTEM thst keeps the bulk
of Mexico's populstlon povsrty
strlcken and hopeless.
Our system Is a better one than
theirs. Thst Is the whole story.
It's reslly a pity that more peo
ple can't go to Mexico and see
whst Is there to be seen. If more
of us could go down there snd use
our eyes and our common sense, the
demsRogues snd the crsckpots and
the peddlers of tommyrot on this
side of the line might not get ss
fsr ss they do.

Authorities here know the move

the atste administration. Indicating
that the tax la being paid willingly
and the law observed. Other atatee
will do this.
One trouble with the country, from
