Something Is seriously the matter when the same alien convict in . fitted to martyrdom by malignant forces, can snarl his- hate at the jmtn he so fiendishly wronged. Even if Col. Lindbergh was "afraid to stay In his own country," the vile and slimy Hauptmann is not afraid to. stay. The politicians and the sob ulsters and the unthinking rabble have seen to that.

Police said It appeared he lost hfa way in the darkness when returning to his home after visiting s frlenri' rcMrtciir-e & &j1 TrlbUJus &, , Who Is Felix Frankfurter? OF TITE many issues in the forthcoming presidential cam paign, Mr. Felix Frankfurter will undoubtedly be one. General Hugh Johnson recently proclaimed him to be the "most influential single individual in the United States." William Randolph Hearst the Roosevelt administration," the strong and sinister villain in the New Deal melodrama. Variations will undoubtedly be played on these two themes, by Republican spellbinders throughout the campaign, so in formation concerning the man, may be considered more or less pertinent at the present time. rIAT Mr. Frankfurter has been, and is, influential in the Roosevelt administration, can't be denied. lie is-a close personal friend of the President's, was admitted to the bar about the same time, and they were both members of the War Labor Policies Board, during the Wilson administration. Since President Roosevelt's inauguration Frankfurter has often conferred with the President on matters of policy, and hiis been influential in securing positions in the government service of many "bright young men" graduates of the Har vard Law School, where Mr. Frankfurter has been for many years, a leading member of the faculty. Because Frankfurter was born in Austria of Jewish par ents, he has been condemned as an alien and sinister influence, essentially un-American in his political concepts and tradi tions, at heart a Russian Red. NOTHING could be further from the truth. The best, evi dence of the falsity and absurdity of such charges is the fact that he is a leading member of the faculty of the Harvard Law School; professionally and socially, his closest contact are with the leading corporation lawyers of Boston, New York .... . ... -i l. c nAnD.ilti.l k.r nntutnnrlinff and Wasiiingion, ami ne is i ih'iuimim.y tnun...,, i,,r ......... .-, leaders in American Big Business and High Finance. Certainly the big lawyers and business executives of the country, are not so dumb as to take advice from a confirmed Bolshevik. His chief advocation for many years has been his supplying of bright and promising young men, for the leading law firms of the country, his recommendation being nuiversnlly accepted, as prima facie evidence of the applicants fitness, by training character and intellectual attainments, for valuable and dis tinguished service. Moreover, he is not as Hearst man." He has not onlv a brilliant and a plastic mind, but is a great talker. His political, economic and social views are well known. Independent and liberal be is, but as Rtrongly opposed to Russian Communism, as he is to Italian Fascism or the Hitler dictatorship in Germany. THE basis for the claim he individual in the United fact, he is frequently called in by the President for consulta tion, and has, as before stated, supplied many young men for government service, during the present administration. But it is doubtful if he has been called in by the 'resident any more than many other of the President's close friends. There is no' evidence the President defers to his judgment, any more than to the judgmont of a dozen other prominent citi zens, close to the administration, while his naming of young men for government service, has been no greater than a similar service to leading law firms in the Hast, which as before staled, is his chief exlra-curric'iilnr activity, and has been for the past 25 years. IT HAS been stated Professor Frankfurter was the father of N.R.A. This is as completely false as most of the other charges against the man. He had nothing whatever to do with N.R.A Had he been its "papa," it very likely would not have been declared unconstitutional. For Mr. Frankfurter knows his Constitution and knows his law. The man who came to this country at the age of 12, not knowing a word of Knclish, and TEN years' Inter, wns leading his class through the intense competition of the Harvard Law School, with a command of English including the American idiom, far superior to most of his native born colleagues, wouldn't be likely to pull a boner in the realm of technical constitutional legalities. FINALLY Mr. Frankfurter is not a dyed in the wool Demo crat, nor can he be classified as a partisan in any sense of the term. He started his public career in fact, as Assistant I'. S. Attorney, under Mr. Henry L. Stimson, in New York stnte, and for many years wns Mr. Stinison's right hand man, the latter, later serving as Kneretary of War. under Taft and Sec retary of Slate, in the Hoover administration. THIS brief sketch may give some idea of the type of man, Professor Frankfurter really is. It will not prevent, his being condemned as the "sinister alien and radical force in the Roosevelt administration" "hen the campaign gels under way. No mnlter bow thin it may be sliced Frankfurter will still be called Frankfurter 1 But the facts and the truth presented now, may prevent a few people hereabouts from falling for this particular brand of unadulterated whang doodle.

To many older students that last tart suggests t once some Irritant or some poison In the bloodstream, as the essential cause of srterlosclerosls. But the elder notion of toxemia or poison clrctilatlng In the blood stream was rather hypothetical, I mean the pres ence of poison, toxin or harmful waste matter of any sort in the blood waa lma glnary, not demon strated. Indeed, the whole prodigious edifice of "auto-intoxicatlon," "auto toxemia" or "toxicosis" as an ex planation for whatever ailment or complaint the patient happens to have, was erected on a foundation of pure morbid fancy without sup port by scientific fact. No one has identified the imaginary poison or toxic aubfitnnce; no one has proved that any such Injurious suristance is present In the blood of the Indi vidual developing arteriosclerosis or cardio-vascular degeneration of any kind, Alcohol, tobacco (or nicotine), lead. syphilis these are real enough poi sons In tbe blood, and are generally Included among causes of arterios clerosis or CVD. To my mind the evidence against tobacco is most convincing. In the past statistics Indicated that arterioscerosls was I ft times as common in men from 40 to BO years of age as In women of that age. Now that women have taken to smoking and so of ten to ex cess. I believe this difference win be leveled off, snd women will look their age and then some. The old- fashioned women managed to keep , their arteries nice and soft and i young. The ultra - modem women j seem to be harder all through, pre maturely old. One of the scientists who isolated vitamin C known now as cevitamic acid recently expressed the opinion that thia vitamin protects against arteriosclerosis and other manifes tations of old age.

Senator Borah announces, formally and definitely, that If liberal forces In the Bepuollcan party WANT him tc be he WILL BE a csndldats for tne Republican nomination for Presi dent. That is Important because Borah Is one of the few Republicans who might bs a bis to defeat Roosevelt. IN this column h other day, the opinion was expressed that the present polltlcaj upheaval In this country will end a long way short of where the radicals want to go and a long way ahead of where the conser vatives wsnt to stop. Borah, as Judged by his record, comes pretty close to being the man nho fits this trend. BIO news Is In the making, as In dicated by this Associated Press dlspstch from London: "The British government was stated ;y a reliable source today (Saturday) to bs considering further precaution ary measures agslnst the possibility cf a warlike act on the part of Pre mier Mussolini of Italy because of Great Britain's determination to en force sanctions sgainst Italy." The British expect the attack, if lc comes, In Egypt. DOES Mus3oUnireaTly think he can whip Qreat Britain? (France, as jou have probably observed, doesn't aim to fight Mussolini, whose Ethi opian adventure she Is reported to have OK'd before he began It.) Well, here Is an interesting angle on that, contained In this same As sociated Press dispatch from London "The attack fears (that Is, Musso lini's attack on Brltsln) appear to be bused on a belief In some quarters that Mussolini eventually will have to sue for peace on terms offered by the league of nations or else try some act ol desperation." f-f WHAT does that mean? Well, It might mesn that rath er ther ht starved" out Mussolini would prefer to attempt the Impos sible, such as picking a quarrel with Britain, so that he could say to his ptople: "The odds against us, you tee, have become TOO GKEAT. Wed better submit, rather than be anni hilated." That would bs a rather graceful way of letting go of a poker that had iwcome too hot. N reading these reports, remember that a lot of them are bluff. Dip lomats and dictators work that way. But they do show the possibilities of trouble that exists In Europe. If we had got Into the league of nations, we'd be up to our necks right now in all this mess of trouble, with plenty of possibilities of being drug ged Into whatever wars the diplomats and the dictators of Europe rig up. Senator Borah, you will remember, was one of those principally responsi ble for KEEPING US OUT of the league of nations. That indicates that he Is gifted ,jth a reasonable measure of HORSE SENSE. Common horse sense is a tre mendously valuable quality right now. Communications United Press Article Scored.

SPIRIT PROMPTING E FETE HEARTS The Christmas bsnquet given by Gates & Lydlard for the poor chil dren of Jackson county at the Elks' temple Tuesday waa still being dis cussed In Medford today. It was by far the largest Christmas party ever given by the super-grocery firm for needy youngsters and many persons were heard to repest today that It was the most splendid mani festation of the Christmas spirit they hsd ever witnessed. Fifteen or twenty persons went to the party Just to see the children enjoy themselves and not one of them was able to hold back the tears, tears brought not by sorrow but by the Joy of seeing the under-privileged children having a happy time. Many pathetically humorous situa tions were recalled today. One boy. for Instance, began eating so rapidly that he soon became sick. He wss at the first table and when he recov ered Mr. Gates sympathised with him and expressed sorrow that he did not enjoy the dinner. "Please, Mr. aOtes," he said, "I'm all right now, and if you'll let me est st the second table I'll bs able to fin ish my dinner without getting sick again." He was permitted to sit at the sec ond table And, eating more slowly, he enjoyed the bounteous feast. One little girl displayed a craving for celery. She ate all her own and then ate what children near her did not want. And when she was ready to leave she tucked two stalks Into her hat. Mr. Gates observed thst the chil dren from Medford drsnk much more milk thsn those from the rural sec tions. One city youngster, he re cslled. drank six bottles, two and a half quarts, besides consuming all hie dinner with extra helpings of turkey and pumpkin pie. The children drsnk on an average of two bottles of milk each. One woman who came to see the children cried very frsnkly and when she dried her tears she wrote a check for 26 and offered it to Mr. Gates to help pay for the banquet. When Mr. Gates said he could not accept it. she stated: "Well, I'm going to spend it on the children anyway. You have taught us all the real meaning of Christ mas." W. A. Gates and William H. Lydtard today expressed their thanks to the following persons who assisted In making the party a success by votefci teering their services: Miss Lillian M. Huberts, American Red Cross secretary; Mrs. H. L, Nob lit, Mrs. Lloyd G. Lyman, Miss Otis D.
