Lets Hear From Mr. Garner
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT remarks the only member of his
admiuiBtration who returned from the Philippine inaugura
tion, und had the good sense to keep his mouth shut, wag Vice
President Garner. '
In other directions the vice president has established a repu
tation for wisdom and common horse sense, far ahead of most
of the president's official family. Therefore if he should say
something for publication his words would have great weight
with the American people, and if he gave any advice, there
would probably be a genuine effort to follow it.
Whereupon we suggest the vice president follow the ex
ample of a former Democratic V. P., who attained imperishable
fame by telling the country what it needed.
' The late Vice-President Marshall said it was a good five
cent cigar. What does Mr. Garner think it ist
JUST as a suggestion might we offer the following:
The country needs, more than anything else, a PATRIOTIC
MAJORITY.
It needs a majority organization that could outvote any
minority organization or any
The members of this majority would be interested NOT in
what they could get out of their government, but what they
could GIVE it; NOT what would be best for their special group,
but what would be best for the COUNTRY AS A WHOLE. And
they would be willing to fight for such things, during times of
peace, just as whole-heartedly and unselfishly, as they would
fight for other things in time of war, in both instances seeking
no reward, monetary or otherwise, seeking nothing in fact,
but the satisfaction of work well done, of useful and patriotic
service.
IJOR after all, we the people, get just the sort of government
we deserve. If a majority of us care more for eur own
selfish interests than for the interests of the country, as a whole,
w e get a country that is cut up into self-interested and warring
factions, with the national welfare neglected and forgotten.
No one in a Democracy can expect a higher idealism and strong
er devotion in public office, than is demanded by a majority
of the people, i.e.. by public opinion.
GENUINE patriotism is as much needed in time of peace, as
in time of war. In a sense, more needed, for in time of war,
forces are immediately released which arouso and stimulate it;
whsreas in peace, the flag flying, the band playing,-and the
hurrah-boys incitement is lacking.
With the old people demanding one thing, the young people
Ruother, and those in between something else, "give me give
me give me! one wonders what is going to happen to this
country of ours, with no one or practically no one who wants
NOTHING but the growth, progress and welfare of his govern
ment and his country.
Of course Vice-President Garner could express the idea much
better, and with his native wit and shrewdness cou)d no doubt
compress it into the proper slogan.
But that in the opinion of this paper, is in general what this
country needs a PATRIOTIC MAJORITY, and needs it more
acutely than in the piping times of post war prosperity, it ever
needed a good five-uent cigar I
The Last
JUST as the college foe measure will be defeated unless the
voters study the matter carefully, so will the bill, to provide
the people of this state with an adequate system of old age
pensions.
In both cases the superficial reactiou will be unfavorable,
just as in both cases, careful thought and examination, will
inevitably lead to precisely the reverse conclusion.
IN the sales tax pension mutter the question comes dpwn to
this: Do we want an adequate old age pension system in this
state, or don't wef If we do then hero is our chance, and our
only chance for the immediate present to get it. That may
sound like an extreme statement but it is the firm conviction of
this newspaper, that it is absolutely true.
OUR present system of old age pensions is a .farce and a
disgrace. Not only are hundreds of elderly people who
need pensions and deserve them not getting them, but many of
them are not getting anything and are in dire want and distress.
These conditions during the present year are bound to bo
WORSE rather than better because the government which has
awarded to Oregon for direct relief the past three years, over
$'JS,OOO,0OO, will give NOTHING hereafter. Few people seem to
realize Uncle Sam has gone out of the direct relief business.
But that, is the hard and brutal fact. The elderly indigents will
be the first to suffer as a result.
The government has however adopted a minimum old age
pension system, to be devoted to those states which cooperate
with it, by passing an old age pension of their own. The passage
of this measure would provide that cooperation as far as Oregon
is concerned, and would give the elderly and needy people of
this state what they need and deserve., not .luxury, but com
fort and security, proper food and shelter in their declining
years.
T"0 "we the people" of Oregon want to give them that,' or do
we want to dawdle and drift along as at present, dreaming
of impossible Utopias on one hand, and on the othey handing
out to only a selected minority, enough, let us say, to buy a
couple of tiers of wood, perhaps once in six months!
IT seems to this paper the time has come for Oregon to either
fish or cut bait in this matter, either provide an adequate
old age pension, or give up the idea entirely, and let Nature.
and the undertaker, Like their respective and tragic courses.
The chance to do something and something constructive will
come up the last day of this month at the special election, and
if this chance it patvit up, ar. l the pension meesurc defeated,
then the eh'-rly p ople in 'diis state who rcBlly need help and
need help NOW, might as well make up their minds they arc
not going to get it. At least not during the present year and
in all likelihood not for many years to come.

OPPOSING CONTEMPORARY
On th fly-leaf of hit book "Nerv
ou Indigestion" (Hoeber),. which I
consider one ol the finest accessory
boolui lu my li
brary. Dr. Walter
C. Alvarez quote
Thomas Huxley as
follows;
"I hare not,
now, nervous
n e r g y
enough for
stomach and
brain both,
and if I work
the Utter,
not even the
fresh breezes
of this olaoe
win Keep tne rormer in order."
Evidently Huxley waa an Introspec
tive person. No doubt a clas B
neurotic.
I think a large proportion of the
near-invalid a for whom Dr. Alvarez's
book was written, are in the B class.
X bet old Hux could have written a
moving chapter on "Tne Importance
of Keeping the Bowels Active." Be
that as It may, Huxley said some
thing of medical education in 1870
which would be even more timely to
day: "I entertain a very strong con
viction that anyone who adds to med
ical education one lota or tittle be
yond what Is absolutely necessary Is
aullty of a ry grave offence." Hux
ley was an advocate of the Introduc
tion of physiology Into elementary
education, and speaking of that he
got off a good one: "The saying that
a little knowledge Is dangerous :s,
to my mind, a very dangerous adage
. . . Indeed. If a little knowledge Is
dangerous, where la the man who has
so much as to be out of danger?"
' Here I am. In certain respects I
have so much knowledge that I am
out of danger of things which you
wiseacre laymen must necessarily fear.
For example, what happens If the
bo we la fall to work as you think they
should. ,
Not In his book, but elsewhere. Dr.
Alvarez recently blurted this half
baked view: "Even the physician with
a very large practice will see only a
few cases a year In which he will
suepect that the symptoms are due
to too great a narrowing of a diet."
((This refers to vitamin deficiency )
Dr. Henry C. Sherman's books con
tain much that Dr. Walter C. Alvarez
does not yet know about vitamins and
nutrition. Dr. Sherman says on p.
400, 4th edition, Chemistry of rood
and Nutrition, "... It should pe
haps be said at this point that when
Goldberger concluded that 'latent pel
lagra la common amotii, children he
may have been referring to a condi

VIEWS OF NUTRITION
nutritional deficiency disease, but
containing less than optimal amount
of vitamin O. Such a condition of
affairs probably does occur often;
partly because the Importance of vita
min O In nutrition and Its very un
even distribution among staple ar
ticles of food are not yet matters of
common knowledge; and partly be
cause some of those who do know
about vitamin O may not :ully ap
predate the fact that (a in the case
of vitamin A)' Its optimal amount
means a far more Uberal Intake (per
haps many-fold more liberal) than
the minimum requirement for the
prevention of obvious or manifest
nutritional deficiency."
The trouble with too many phy
sicians "with very large practice" Is
they are not Interested In health, but
only In the manifestations of disease,
QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS
Chicken Jelly.
Kindly advise food value of Juice
or Jelly made by boiling chickens'
feet and bones In water . , . (Mrs.
J. O.)
Answer Prom the bones, the Jelly
or Juice so made la chiefly gelatin,
which Is of questionable nutritive
value, though It property serves as a
protein sparer to a limited degree
tltat is, tne gelatin la utilized aa fuel
by the body In place of protein.
Chicken Jelly made by chopping a
chicken, bones and all, and slowly
coking, Is both nourishing and pal
atable. Gelatin Is an Incomplete pro
tein, looks certain amino acids which
sre essential for assimilation by the
body. Pure gelatin, as marketed for
food. Is valuable for bulk and as an
ingredient of various dishes, especial
ly where it Is desired to keep the diet
low In calories.
Cataract.
Is there any cure for cataract ex
cept oper&tion? . . . (C. E. A.)
Answer No. In animals cataract
may toe produced by a diet deficient
In vitamin O, but restoration of vita
min Q to the diet does not clear up
the cataract.

blood. Nothing in my features re

' on the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS
THIS headline strikes th aye
"Blizzard Hits the East."
Hero's betting you chuckled as you
read It. For some reason, wicked
weather In the OTHER FELLOW'S
country always gives us a smug, self
satisfied feeling.
TTHIS headline Is political lntense-
ly ro: "Political Pot Bolls Mer
rily In Both Camps; Smith and Borah
in Limelight."
Aa to Smith, a New York dispatch
says: "Alfred E. Smith today char
acterized as FALSE what he said was
a statement by a White House spokes
man that 'at least once a year Mr.
Smith has been Invited to pass either
a nlht or a week end there, but he
never saw fit to accept even one of
these Invitations '
Al says he never had but one bid,
and he accepted that. f
WHAT does it alt mean? Well, It
means factional 111 feeling In the
Democratic party. Republicans know
all about that, for In the years they
were IN they had a lot of It.
Now there Isn't much to stir up
Republican factional feeling about.
It's the Ins who step on ach other's
toes.
AS TO Borah, a Washington dls
patch Informs us:
"Complete authorization was given
today by Senator Borah to put his
name tn the Ohio presidential pri
mary." A few days ago. Senator Borah was
dabbling his toes In the political
waters. Now he seems ready to
plunge In.
Evidently he found the tempera
ture congenial.
ALSO as to Borah, the Oregon Vot
er, edited by C. C. Chapman,
says :
"If Senator Borah Is nominated by
the Republicans, and there la no
third-party nomination such as will
enable us to save our self-respect, we
will vote for the re-election of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt."
TJOW many Republicans feel that
I. X way about It?
If there are enough of them, we
might as well resign ourselves now to
four years more of the New Deal
for Borah is AT PRESENT (ajthough
he may not be by next summer, when
the " convention Is held) the leading
contender for the Reptibllcan nomi
nation. AN INTENSELY interesting head
line: "Hllo's (in Hawaii) Reservoir Still

spit will sdd further sauce for the
ganders. Thla situation also ts fully
appreciated.
To give you a further hint of the
Intensity of the underlying situation:
A certain mid-west Republican
congressman felt constrained to an
nounce some weeks back that he
would vote for the Townsend plan.
What constrained him was the spe
cial election In Michigan. At least
he made his announcement about
that time, following a shower of pro
Townsend letters from his own con
stituents.
Since then, the an tl -Townsend citi
zens of his district have been shout
ing at him through the malls. Thsy
were not organ 1 red. and he did not
know there were so many of them.
This legislative gentleman Is there
fore now constrained to deny that he
was ever really for the Townsend plan
He Is saying he merely agreed to vote
for it In the house "so it could go
to the senate for a thorough dis
cussion
There will be more of that.
Even now. many congressmen have
coyly hoisted their saliva-tipped fin
sera to find out which way this
Townsend breere is going. This is
why Dr. Townsend's poll of congress
has not progressed more swiftly. His
Inquisitive letter haa been put on the
bottom of the pile of unanswered
mail on many a congressional desk.
The clever Townsend pressure bojs
apparently have found that out. and

ent. At least, mall bags of threats

I tardy ones lately.
Most of the quick-Jumpers have al
' ready made up their minds. A sena-
tor who fled from his mid-western
home a few weeks ago In the face of
the Townsend storm, recently turned
and faced It with a public statement.
Such reasonable analytical speeches
as that of Congressman Lea of Cali
fornia (at Chloo. December 13) are
having an effect.
Another Juicy morsel la the Bank
head billion-dollar farm tenant bill.
That would help a lot of congress
men In spots down south where the
Talmadge and the Huey Long hang

least this la strong consideration
behind It. The bill passed the sen

the house when Representative Bank

either. Republican Leader Snell has
been talking up the economy Issue
lately within his small flock. It is
generally understood that they will
take strong economy stand in the
house, not exactly unmindful of the
coming campaign.
V.-P. Garner Is chipper and still
wears, rubber heels. He la handling
the session for the president, not In
any way conflicting, of course, with
the nominal leaders, who are his
friends. It was Garner who once
told a group of leaders, who inform
ed him a certain cabinet officer was
telling congressmen how the presi
dent wanted them to vote: "Why,
he's Just a boy. Give him a message
to take back to the president and
send him on his way."
It was a congressional '.eader who
thought up the Idea of having Mr.
Roosevelt deliver his opening message
to congress at night, so all could
hear on the radio. Of course, he did
not have the campaign In mind at all.

To the Editor:
Mr. Gates' story of the children"!
Christmas dinner reminds n of aa
Indian boy who came to our home
In eastern Washington a little more
than 65 yeara ago. Hla people bad
camped about a mile away and he
had wandered to our home. I wat
eight years old and he waa about my
age. Mother gave him some bread and
butter. He liked the butter and drop
ped the tread on the ground.
Mother brought a very large pan
of milk, set It on a table and with
a tin cup told him to help himself
and he did.
Mother lined a quart bottle from
another pa:i. He drank all that w
In the pan and started home. When
he got to the gate he drank all that
was In the bottle and came back for
more. Mother filled the bottle once
more and the boy was on his wf.y
and I really believe he got all the
milk he wanted for he never came
back.
