And those who don't like politics injected into presidential messages, didn't like what the president bad to say to the mem bers of the 74th congress, and through the radio to the American people. ' . " ' But what do such critics expect! We have entered the year of another presidential election,' the campaign has already started, what is to be expected, from the leader of one of these parties, and the bead of the present government! A long winded treatise on international law, or a scholarly discussion of the Lost Digamma! How could a message at such a time and from such a source be anything but political. COR that matter, what is politics anywayt. 1 According to Webster's International dictionary this is the uccepted definition; "Tli theory or practice nf muuglng or directing tha affairs of public policy: hence, political affairs, principle, oonrlctloiu, opinion, sympathies or th. Ilk," The president is the manager and director of this country's public affairs, how COULD he deliver a message on the state of the union, and avoid touching on political principles and con victions, or expressing his own "political opinions or sympa thies" especially his sympathies. President Roosevelt very clearly, and in an unusually force ful fashion, expressed his political convictions, both regarding international and domestic affaire; and in both directions, was rather more explicit, than perhaps some thought the occasion called for. AH right. They are entitled to their opinion. But in our judgment, the present is no time, either nationally or internationally to pussyfoot, to straddle, or sit idly by wait ing on tradition or precedent. Conditions are too serious both at home and abroad, for the heads of governments to be any thing but frank outspoken and uncompromisingly REALISTIC. For that is essentially nothing but clear headed and coura geous leadership, and leadership is the great outstanding need, PROPER leadership, not only in the United States, but throughout the world. Instead of being CONDEMNED for his forthright challeng ing address to the people of his own sountry, and indirectly to the world, President Roosevelt should be COMMENDED. We only wish more heads of governments, to the east and west of us, would follow his example. , Moreover such a speech clears the atmosphere. It blows away the fogs of doubt and speculation and reveals the funda mental issues. We can quite understand how one might entirely disagree with the president's political OPINIONS, but we can't understand, how ANYONE could criticize him for expressing them. Either expressing them to cong'ess, in his annual mes sage, or to the American people over the radio. TPHE radio feature appears to have griped the president's political enemies;, especially. Changing the hour of the address, from noon until night, so more of the people of the country could listen in, aroused the ropublicsn leader of the home, to such a state of rage, that several times he appeared on the verge of apoplexy. Why all this heat! Isn't what the president of this country has to say about the state of the union, and the state of the World, of just as much interest to the people of this country, as to the members of the congress! (And might we suggest of even more importance!) We still live in a democracy, the people still rule (theoreti cally at least), what does this socalled "breaking of precedent" do oxactly but ENLARGE AND EXTEND THE AREA OF INFORMATION, give the people as a whole an opportunity to know more about their government and its policies, than would otherwise be possible ! . In that something to condemn! Is there anything reprchonsible in giving the people of the country more information about their own affairs rather than less! ABSURD. It is merely good sense, good government taking advantage of modern improvements in communication, instead of disregarding them. 'TWERE is another point to consider about this annual mcs- sage, and about everything that is going to happen politi cally between now and this coming November. We have entered the campaign zone not far, but we are IN. And from now on party lines are going to be more and more tightly drawn. Just as the regular Democrats are declaring this message one of the greatest state papers in modem history (which it ISN'T) j the Republicans are panning it from stem to stern, and refusing to find anything in it, but a lot of partisan and fermented applesauce. It was ever thus and promises so to continue (for a few cen turies at least!) , People who are not as much interested in either party, as in the TRUTH, will-refuse to aocept either view and nrrive eventually somewhere between the two extremes. The judgment of the message, and what one hears about it, in the press and elsewhere, should therefore be taken with this m mind. In nine eases out. of ten, citiens aren't speaking just REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS.

ON THE TRAIL OF PLAIN WHEAT On the way to Monterey the other day we lamped a feed store on the outskirts of San Luis Obispo. Bring ing the. wr, con veyance to a hilt we wriggled out from behind the wheel (they fea ture ample bead room and teg room In the lat est models, but It seems each new model en croaches more and more on one's rtb room) and walked stif fly Into the store. It was like attending a fair. Never before came across such an attrac tive showing of feeds in such a place. Not only was there plain wheat available but several grades or var ieties at your pleasure. Nor was the man In charge apparently astonished when we confessed we wanted the wheat for our own use. On the con trary he was prepared for just such business and here I think the feed store man offered an excellent ex ample for other feed or seed store people. Smilingly be turned from the bag of good looking wheat in which we were fondly playing and observed that he had something a bit more suitable for kitchen use. and he showed us wheat In another bin all cleaned or winnowed ready for cooking or chewing, though we had already chewed some of the other ordinary stock after having blown the chaff and straw out of a handful. Fine. We'd take along a peck of that. How much would we like. Inquired the polite dealer. K peck would be enough later If It proved satisfactory we might want larger quantities, but today . . . Certainly. About how much would we like ... And so on. Well, you may have guessed by now what the difficulty was. Actualty the feed store man did not know how much a peck Is. So we kind tightened up and bought only ten pounds he seemed to know now much a pound Is. But the man's un famlllartty with standard weights and measures of North America cut his sales 50 per cent now figure out for yourself how much a peck Is. and If you can't find the answer that way you'll find It In Webster's inter national, or I'll save yen the trouble. A peck Is 8 quarts, crtr fourth of a bushel, 15 pounds of wheat, aa wheat runs 60 pounds to the bushel. Anyway the clean wheat cost us , two cents a pound. j Back home we ran a teacupful of It once through the old coffee grind er, cracking it coarsely. We cooked 1 It for about half an hour with fou or five teacup! uls of water and i half teaspoon ful of salt. But we don't care for plain porridge. So we poured the porridge Into an oblong dish just rinsed with cold water and set It in the ice box to cool. Next morn ing we sliced off thin slices, fried them In fat till brown, and had breakfast 'than which there la noth ing tbsn whlcher from either the gustatory or the sanatory viewpoint. Aside from educating the feed store people about weights and measures, there is, then, no great difficulty about procuring plain wheat and preparing it for the table. In fact the whole business Is fun I csn't see why so many city hicks make such a task of It. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Otherwise Called a Caul I was born with a veil. Some bay that means you'll always have luck. Others say you can never drown. Please tell me about It . . . (C. J. B.) Answer It's a sign no doctor at tended, or he arrived late. Every baby la wrapped In such a cover be fore delivery, and as a rule the wrap ping comes off tho head or the doc tor removes it before the head Is born. There Is no basis for the sup erstitions connected with it. Dickens throws light on the question in the opening of the story of David Copper- field. Special Teacher Needed Our eleven year old daughter la not quite normal. She does not learn, though she can make beds, wash ; dishes, etc., very well for a little girl, and has excellent health. Her father thinks she will never learn because we can't teach her to tell colors or to letter and number . . . (Mrs. J. M.) Answer It would be well to place her In a class under a teacher es pecially trained to Instruct excep tional children. If no such class Is available In your local school, at least you should have the expert advice and assistance of a teacher, and not follow your own Ideas about the In struction of the child. Complex I know these pimples betray me but why do I keep on having out breaks of them when it Is over two years? ". . . (E. T. F.) Answer Most normal young per sons, especially boys, have more or less acne (pimples and blackhead) in the 'eens. You must not imagine that has any unpleasant significance. Send a three-cent stamped envelope bearing your address for monograph on blackheads ' and pimples. (Copyright 1936, John F. DUle Co.) Comment on the Day's News Ed.

K S far aa this paper is ooueerned, we repeat, the president made a good POLITICAL speech. He defined the salient ssues clearly and showed once more that he is really forming a new political party in this country in fact has rcatly done so. Take it or leave it, is our motto, but don't be S1LLT, don't deny the leader of a party and tho head of a government the H1G11T, to clarify the principles of that party, and use every lik'itiii'ale method, of getting his ideas over to ALL the people, when ecvigrci. opens or at any other time I TpilE message as a whole we liked, and with the broad prin- eiples enunciated we heartily agree. One feature of it we didu't like and of many of tho president 'i speeches and papers of the past, we have the same criticism to make. That is his appeal, direct or implied, to class prejudice. We think there is enough of that in the country now without any stimulation from high places, particularly irom the White Mouse. On the other liaiid we realize the demands of practical poli tics and perhaps, if one wishes to accomplish anything on the LIUI'.RAL side in Ihis country, sIMemcnta which could come under this heading, can't be avoided. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre sVsaka.su(nt.-$ 1 NEW YORK, Jan. 4. This will be snother of those aimless, wandering and runaway columns. It always Is when I have to sit a half hour without the slightest mental twitch. Frequent ly It has tho un expectedness of a table tipping ex periment. Lit a long While, then buckltty - buck Itty. There's a rea son for drawing this mental blank. Morpheus was coy last night. I counted sheep, rend Hiawatha, downed a hot glasa of milk and lolled around In a tepid bath. But Just as I'd feel myself slipping away I would be swlnimbig again In the wldo-eyed frisk of the goldfish. At 4 a. m. I yanked trousers over my pajamas, muffled Into a great coat and drifted a couple of blocks east to one of those back-room neigh borhood places, it wss drained of the usual bustle. The bandy-legged man-of-all-work wss cleaning up the lea box. A flotsam madam, trying to look maidenly with wltchy bangs like Helen Morgan's, wss dswdllng over a flat beer and reading a tabloid. The bartender wss checking up the cash register. After a Scotch appraisal 1 ordered a round for the house and a hot lemonade for myself. Madtm pondered over what she would drink. Slis hsd been beerlng It up. she explained. sln,-e early even ing, and if 1 didn't mind she d have a stiff old fashioned and go on to her flat around the corner. Bendy Legs' choice waa a beer and the bar tender held alott cigar, tucaeo n. pencil like, behind his ear to drop In the box again. There's a tourh of the forlorn about a drinking den with the tide out. A hoppy sour atoms, like the dry smell of lysol at a work hovise. Most cor diality after mldnlftht is false. Madam told a music hall Joke and looked hopefully Inso her emptied glsss While turning up my coat collar be fore opening the side door. I heard the bsr man say: "One of the Sut ton Place crowd " I felt distinguished. A hick awsy a knot of people and a stalled car. A half dorcn peering Into the lined hood. Nowhere does an auto breakdown attract a crowd aa in New York In the back seat a bright and rouged blonde had curled up and was relaxing with deep cigar ette Inhales The clrrkly-lookmg own er tinkered here and there, glancing at hie wrist walch and perspiring freely, Oev gained an Impression somehow he waa in mors? than ordi nary dilemma. Tlie frequent watch glancing ass the give-away. He knew as the sky crumbled Into pink. I wondered If it might not be his first night out with the usual lndlscre. tlon. Another block and a pair of hotel detectlvea I know. Both derbled, whiffing whacking George Jessel cig ars and sporting conspicuous lodge buttons. In unison they both wsnt ed to know what I waa about at such an hour snd there were quick, know ing glances at my floppy house slip pars and uncollarcd neck. Strange how wo look upon almost everybody out of routine with suspicion In the sliding shadows of nrght. And I had the uncomfortable reeling I should explain. But a taxi careened up with a sllk-hatted morning Jag. I moved off before he had a chance to waltz with me. Any time, day or night, drunks will try to hell me around In a waltz. 1 Flight 'o Time Medford and Jackson County history from the files of the Mall Tribune 10 and 30 vtar ago. TEN YEARS AOO TODAY January A, lfi6 (It Was Sunday) Police station is moved to the old depot of the Jacksonville railroad on Main street. Deals completed for operation of two sawmills in the Dead Indian country the coming ummer. Weldon (.Socks) Blddle Is deprived of his tonsils and recovering rapidly. Prediction of rain followed by sun shine, brings heaviest fog of season. Gordon Kershaw after spending the Yule vacation at home, returns to O. A. C. Capt. John J. McEwan arrives to assume his duties as football coach at Oregon. By FRANK JENKINS YOU'VE heard, possibly or maybe read somewhere that sawmllllng Is a wasteful Industry. If you want to find out what a whopper that Is, take a trip sometime through one of the big mills of the Southern Oregon country. You'll not that while logs are com ing Into the mill by the train load nothing much GOES OUT but fin ished lumber. You see no trucks hauling away refuse, and no rubbish piles are building up. It is said of pork packing plants that they utilize all of the hog but the squeal, and a modern sawmill does nearly as well with the logs that come Into It. Jt THERE'S a big trash burner, to be sure, but In modern plants the trssb burner Isn't much more than cinch-hltter, functioning when something goes wrong temporarily with the "hog" the machine that chews the refuse up and makes effi cient fuel of it. When the "hog" breaks a tooth, the refuse burner tabes care of the situ ation until the break is repaired. -VNE thinks, of course, of lumber V as the product of a sawmill. Well, tn its various forms, lumber Is the PRINCIPAL product. But at these big mill electricity Is a by product. Practically all the refuse, after Delng converted Into "hog" fuel, Is burned under the boilers, and the power thus generated Is converted Into electricity, which runs the hun dreds of machines of various sorts. The surplus electricity Is sold. THEY have brains in charge. J For example, the steam that turns the great turbines condenses into hot water, and this hot water is led back Into the mill pond, which Is thus prevented from freezing over In cold weather. Slick, Isn't It? Tn HERE'S plenty of brains around 1 such a place. The sawyer's for example. The sawyer stands besides the head rig, as the great logs pour in. Beside him is a sheet of paper showing the orders the mill Is cutting on. With those orders In mind, the sawyer di rects the cutting of each log In such a way that the product of It will fit most advantageously the orders on hand. If you think that doesn't take brains, try It some time. nnHEK there's the filer, whose Job it is to Keep tne saws snarp. They have one big circular saw. whose Job It is to cut the logs Into proper lengths. This saw has to be "dished" Just enough that when whirling at high speed centrifugal force will spin It out straight. It Is the filer's Job to calculate Just the "dish" needed and put It into the saw when It Is being sharpened. This he doee by hand, with a hammer. This saw costs around 94,000, and things that cost that much have to be handled carefully. THE log Is cut Into lumber by the mighty saws at the head rigs, and then tt travels back and forth through the mill, being sorted, grad ed, dried In kilns and cut to lengths and sizes required hy orders, winding up finally In box cars at the other end. Machinery of the latest type helps at every point In these pro cesses, keeping the operation so effi cient throughout that here In the Pacific Northwest, far from the world's great markets, the highest lumbering wages IN THE WORLD can be paid. That's what efficiency does. ATRIP through one of these great mills is a real treat. Goodness only knows what It costs. In one wsy snd another, to send a party of visit ors through from end to end requir ing two hours at the very least but It is cheerfully and courteously done. It Is an experience long to be remembered. 4 Editorial Comment of Nation's Press on Roosevelt Message TWENTY YFARS AGO TODAY January 3, nis (It Was Monday, 188 marriars and 33 divorces In JackAon county for the first eleven months of last year.

Silver thaw" whitens the city and i;ey, and the street are a glare of Highlights Of Roosevelt Talk New York Herald-Tribune CRe publloan); The unconscious irony of the message lay In the sharp contrast between 1U devotion to peace abroad and its Incitement to hatred at home. in this message he for the first time made the fomenting of hatred among Americans his open goal. New York Times (Democratic) : His defend of hi own admlnlutratton was, &s had been Indicated in advance a challenge to his political enemies and a rallying summons to bis sup porters. but the grave and weighty words which he employs winn regard to international affairs give to his address an importance which will be Instantly recognized. New York Post (Independent Lib eral): The president's message was a challenge to autocracy. last nlgnt Mr. Roosevelt was In a fighting mood to a morally and politically bank rupt although highly vocal Tory op position, he threw down the gaunt let of combat. despite Tory clam or, he was the overwhelming ma jority of the American people whole heartedly behind him. Washington Star (Independent) : In the president's address, which was a masterpiece of words and excel lency delivered. It was difficult to discern a recommendation, with the exception of a commendation to the congress of American neutrality and a new law on that subject. Cleveland Plain Dealer (Independ ent, Democrat): "The nation would have welcomed a message with more detail. Mr. Roosevelt perhaps claims too much and admits too little. He offers more cheer for social Idealists than for harassed taxpayers. How ever, the message Is obviously the ut terance of a man whose confidence :s unshaken." Rochester Time-Union (Independ ent): It is not only distasteful: but even embarrassing to the American people for the chief magistrate to de liver on such an occasion a bitter partisan harangue, essentially a cam paign speech. Taken as a whole the message was far from attaining the level of real statesmanship, though It may have been politically adroit. Albany, N. Y., Evening News (In dependent): We are left with noth ing definite save the recollection of an astonishing political speech by the president who departed from tradi tion and turned a Joint meetng ol congress Into a political rally where in he challenged his foes. San Francisco Chronicle (Repub lican): The address turns out to be, not a message to congress, but a po-, lltlcal harangue, addressed to the voters, in behalf of his personal re- j election. the speech begins with ! a fierce attack on Japan and Italy, j denouncing not merely their conduct 1 abroad, which might be our business though Mr. Roosevelt expressly re- j fralns from making It that but also i their form of government at home, ! which emphatically is not the busl- ness of the American government. Atlanta Journal (Democrat): It was a rough night for autocracies, both at home and abroad the president's challenge, hurled like a thunderbolt at the whole tribe of entrenched greed, will put new heart into democracy everywhere. Cincinnati Times-Star (Republi can): The addt.ua was quite alien to Mr. Roosevelt's former manner In lta Intolerance and Its violence of par tisanship. It sounded as If Mr, Roose velt had given up all notion of ap pealing to moderates and mlddle-of-the-roaders, and that he was out to please the radicals alone. Oakland, Calif.. Tribune (Repub lican): This speech was both rich In human and emotional values and lacking hi statesmanship and pur pose, President Roosevelt spoke as a man to the nation and not as an executive to congress. The con gress and nation which listened had occasion to applaud an earnest in dividual who spoke for himself and bis party and not of the state of the nation or the legislation which ls'm prospect. The .Seattle Times (Ind.) : The president's message was not a report on the state of the nation. In the main it was devoted, though Inco herently, to the mistakes and savag ery of other nations and the wicked ness of unnamed gentlemen who don't like the new deal. It was a mes sage of no helpfulness to congress, of no encouragement to the country; a sad message, saddest of all in ita more personal implications. Miami, Fla., Dally News (Demo cratic): If one thinks It was a bit. rough in the president to outline the Issue and spotlight the enemy as he did, there Is this to be said: The president did not start It. it it a militant speech, notifying all com ers that If they want a fight they con have a good one and no quarter given or asked. Springfield, Mass.. Dally Republi can (Independent) : It (the speech) is an aggressive, at times caustic, re ply to the national manufacturers' association, Mr. Hearst, the DuPonU' American liberty league, and various organizations that have of late taken the field with the avowed purposre o: destroying Roosevelt. Newark Evening Newai (Independ ent) : Mr. Roosevelt's speech forecasts a bitter and dirty, presi dential campaign. By his own ex ample and by his own vlndictlvenesa he has stirred dissension at a time when we need unity. a speech that calls so many bitter names, that Indulges In w much ill-timed Invec tive Is not worthy of the president. St. Louis Post-Dlspatoh (Inde pendent): So long as the president reported on the state of the world his speech fully comported with the dignity and duties of his office. When he began a report on the "state of the union," his address became the political oration of a candidate for office, with more than a trace of demagoguery. ' Chlo DSily News (Independent Republican) : The only manner in whioh lost night's radio speech (of President Roosevelt) can be Interpre ted editorially is to treat It for what It was, an undisguised political speech by the prospective candidate of the democratic party. is a local Issue and ix are your starvation wages': . . . shall we say to the laborer 'Your right to organ ize, your relations with your em ployer, have nothing to do with the public interest "Our resplendent economic auto cracy does not want to return to that Individualism of which they prate , , . give them their way and they will take the course of every autocracy of the past power for themselves, enslavement for the pub lic."
