The Presidents Message
TTTHAT wai a good political ipeech delivered by President
Hoosevelt to congress last night. But it WAS political.
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.

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.

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.

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.

St. Louis Post-Dlspatoh (Inde

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. '
