What Is
GOVERNOR LAXDON of Kansas gave his "key-note" speech
at Topeka the other night. One of his statements, receiv
ing the biggest hand from the assembled multitude, was roughly
as follows:
"Thar, are people today celling. themselves liberal who regard
any suggestion or economy as reactionary. They seem to think will
Ingness to throw other people'a money around, without any con
sideration of value la a peculiar algn of the pure heart."
Aa a political wise crack, that isn't so bad. Under prevailing
conditions, in any mixed audience, it could be sure of a good
laugh. .
But taken with the full context of the Kansas Governor's
speech, which was a serious and rather labored effort to give
a complete picture of the speaker's political principles and con
victions, it can only be interpreted as Mr. London's honest
conception of what so-called Liberalism in this country means.
In short, the person who likes
Governor Landon's judgment,
orist and dreamer, probably with
sor tie, who has no practical
yon, after every new political
whether such theories are practical or not, or how much such
ill-considered experimentation
And this, we might add, is
ion, and the view of those substantial and influential insiders,
in tbe G. 0. P., who are looking with favor upon the Kansas
governor, as their party's presidential candidate.
WELL, it's all WRONG!
And because it is all wrong, and shows a complete mis
conception of what Liberalism in this country is and what it
means, Governor Landon (should he be the Republican candi
date) will lose thousands of votes of those independent liberals
in the country today who will never give their support to a
presidential candidate who is not
not know what Liberalism means.
WELL, WHAT is a Liberal! There has been many defini
tions, but to our mind another Roosevelt T. R. himself,
coined a phrase which best expressed the idea of American
Liberalism.
Here it is:
. "This country will never be a good place for ANT of us. unless
It Is muse a good place for ALL of us."
That, may not be the exact wording (we are quoting from
memory) but it gives the idea
. II was because President Franklin Roosevelt in his New
Deal, kept the truth of this statement in mind; because his pur
poses were and still are to make this country a better place for
ALL OF US, that so many true Liberals in BOTH parties, Dem
ocrat and Republican, have in spite of certain doubtB and dis
appointments, remained with him, and so many natural Con
servatives, not only in the Republican but also in the Democra
tic party, have deserted him.
rillCH is all fair enough.
don't make principles. No
for deserting the Democratic party when it no longer represents
his principles; any more than one can rightly censure the thous
ands of Bull Moose Republicans who at the Inst election deserted
the Republiean party because it no longer represented THEIR
principles. ,
Nothing could be more wholesome, or more beneficial for
this country POLITICALLY, than to have its entire voting pop
ulation divided between those who believe one way and those
who believe another, with neither tradition, habit, nor merlin
entering into the matter at all, nothing but definite, honest
and sincere DIFFERENCES of opinion.
And that, as we sec it, is what is slowly but surely coming
to pass. Whether it will fully materialize this year or not, re
mains to be seen, and of course depends upon circumstances.
That was why Governor Landon's key-note speech the other
night was so important, it may prove to be one of the deter
mining circumstances.
( If Governor Landon should be the Republican nominee (as
suming our judgment of the man is correct) then this radical
and far-reaching political realignment will almost certainly
take place in 1936, for there will be an out and out Conservative
on one ticket and an out and out. Liberal on the other.
But if London should not be, if no orthodox Conservative
should be, but a Liberal Republican, say like Borah of Idaho or
McNary of Oregon, then that would be a horse of. another
color. Under such circumstances the American disposition, lif
ter any intense emotionnl strain "to return to normalcy" com
bined with the liberality of the G. O. P. candidate, would un
doubtedly result in a split of the Bull Moose Republican bloc,
some of them staying with Roosevelt, but probably more of
them, trailing along, with the G. 0. P., when under progressive
and enlightened leadership.
T TN FORTUNATELY for the Republican party, its present
leadership rests with those who either have forgotten all
about that Bull Moose crusade led by T. R. the First, or it they
remember it, believe it was buried and embalmed years ago, and
no longer represents a political factor.
They are as wrong on that, as they are on the definition and
meaning of Liberalism in this country.
Thousands of Bull Moosers who marched to "Onward Chris
tian Snliliers!' in 1012, marched with Franklin D. in 19H1 and
if the issue is anin clenrly drawn between liberalism and con
servMivcism, between idealism and materialism, will ninrch

Here is a dis
tinction I, being
a peculiar duck, not to say a, queer
quack, have noticed for years. When
a physician or health authority is
merely sounding off to fill space or
to Imp row the dumb laity, he is quite
likely to talk learnedly of "resist

it. The "resistance" bunk is there

of material for a circumstantial pre
varication. A lot of laymen are In
capable of distinguishing what an
eminent doctor says from what the
doctor knows.
Immunity is neither gained nor lost
suddenly or in a day. Like obes:ty,
it grows on you insidiously over a
period of months or years, and it
sticks to you for quite a while, once
you have acquired it, no matter what
you do about it. To imagine a wet

Somebody has to pay for it. Health
commissioners must eat.
Many wiseacre young women who
have "dieted" not wisely but too well.
In the attempt to become sbnormally
slim, have persisted In defiance of
warnings from physicians, until at
last they have developed active pul
monary tuberculosis. It seems ob
vious that nutritional deficiency im
pairs Immunity to tuberculosis. Em
pirically we have long cherished some
such concept witness the universal

In this field, together with clinlcsl
experience, warranta the conclusion
that it la not the diminished Intake
of fata, proteins and carbohydrates
that accounts for the lighting up of
latent or dormant tuberculosis, but
rather the dlminshed Intake of vita
mins. Just which vitamins, it Is not
yet possible to say It seems most
probable that several vitamins are
concerned. Further, we find In treat
ing overweight or frank obesity that
the patient's vigor and vitality, the
sense of well being and the Joy of
being alive, actually increases as the
superfluous flesh diminishes, if the
regimen is physiologically well bal
anced to Insure an optimal ration ot
vitamins despite the lowered Intake
of calories.

In other words, according to these

socks off the poor devils of Ethio
pians. WHAT'S moreT it'B probably true;
for It seems Impossible on Its
face that primitive Ethiopia can

one can't help being suspicious of

Well, It may not be Borah who wins
the nomination, but If the Repub

In November he'll hsve to be far re

REPRESENTATIVE LEA. of Callfor-
1 nia, addressing the lower house
of congress on the Townsend plan,
says:
"The Townsend movement is a
mass attack against the earnings and
savings of the industrious and fru
gal." No. It Isn't quite that. It Is a DE
LUSION on the part of a lot of hon
est, sincere, wishful people who per
mit themselves to HOPE that there
can be such a thing as some
thing for nothing.
This hope is fostered, for purposes
of their own, by politicians who know
better. j
THIS dispatch from Macon, Ga., Is !
Interesting: J
"Insurgent Southern Democrats, i
rallied by the cry of 'states rights,
organized at a 'grass roots" mass
meeting today for a drive against the
nomination of President Roosevelt for
a second term."
The dispatch Is Interesting because
it show what Is happening In the way
of political realignments the country
over.
WHAT Is happening Is this:
The Democratic party, for ob
vious reasons, has become the New
Deal psrty. The Republican party.
for equally obvious reasons, has be
come the anti-New Deal party.
Democrats who DONT believe In
the New Deal are drifting over to
ward the Republican camp and Re
publicans who DO believe in the New
Deal are drifting toward the Demo
cratic camp.
When this new alignment Is com
pleted, party loyalty will again be
more than skin deep which will be
a good thing for the country, no mat

The reason for the very special
value of the press in the campaign
against tuberculosis seems to me to
reside in these facts : that no one
is immune to it, there are no spo
clflc preventative or curative agen'-s.
and many persons are Infected by
the germs. These things being true
the problem is one that touches
every person, and the press becomes
the most appropriate informational
medium. That it measures up to Its
opportunities and obligations Is a
source of encouragement to us and
of gratitude by those who are bene
fitted.
You will be pleased to know that
the total sale in the state will exceed
last year's sale by about $3,000 by
reaching a total of $43,000, accord
ing to present estimates. One of our
first moves has been to plan a state
wide "early dlannosls" campaign to
encourage earlier discovery and
treatment of the disease. One of the
features of this campaign will be a
