The 'Roosevelt Feud
rE most pitiless war is a civil war. The bitterest feud is a
family feud.
President Roosevelt has many enemies of course, personal
and political. Any man in his position trying to bring about
fundamental changes in the social and economic structure, is
bound to incur the hatred and wrath of thousands, particularly
those whose selfish and material interests are threatened.
But from the day of his inauguration .his most implacable
and relentless enemies, have been members of his own family,
the Hoosevclts five times removed, particularly T. R., Jr.,
and the glamorous and brilliant Alice.
IT was T. R., Jr.. who at a recent gathering, marking the
dedication of n memorial to his distinguished father, so
arranged his seat, and phrased his remarks, that the presence of
the Roosevelt who now is occupying the White House, could be
pointedly ignored. (Pretty small and humorless for a son of the
Bull Moose leader, but that is the way T. R., Jr. feels!)
Now "Princess" Alice is putting out a daily column for the
press, which we admit is far superior, in subject matter, treat
ment and news value to a similar column conducted by the First
Lady of the Land; but is almost exclusively devoted to taking
the hide off her' distant cousin, ridiculing his' New Deal and
doing everything she can do, to bring about his downfall.

' love and war and politics.
cally active ones, Teddy the Second and Mrs. Longworth, are
entirely wylhin their rights, to do all they can to bring about
the defeat of the opposing "party and its leader, cousin or no
cousin.
But the extreme malignancy and persistence of the attacks
upon Franklin D., by tho late Colonel Roosevelt's two elder
children, can't be explained satisfactorily on purely partisan
grounds. Both T. R, Jr. and Alice, hold their distinguished
father and the political principles he represented, in the highest.

, If tho feud were entirely a political one therefore, Teddy, Jr.
and Alice would at least have a certain sympathy with the ef

oppose him at the election, would not devote most of the four
years before trying to stir up opposition and hostility toward

How many of us past thirty and or

An area of low barometric pressure
west of tha California coast brought
the threat of additional rain tonight
to valley, mountain and coastal com-

Additional precipitation at tills

ROSEBURG DEATH
T
ROSEBURG, Ore., Feb, 18. (AP)
An obscure type of pneumonia and
not poison caused the death here
January 31 of Donna Lou Marsters,
four-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. L. L. M rsters. Dr. Frank Menne
of the Portland Medical school re
ported by telephone this afternoon to
District Attorney Maurice Hallmark
While traces of poison were found.
Dr. Menne stated, the amount was
not sufficient to cause death while
evidences of toxemia. . secondary
pneumonia, were discovered.
The child's death with symptoms
somewhat resembling poison, led to
the belief here that sne was the un
intentional victim of a dog poisoner,
whose activities had been widespread
In Roseburg and vicinity for 'several
weeks.
Reporting to the district attorney,
Dr. Menne stated that he and Dr,
George Furhrer of Eugene had made
further careful examination.
Traces of poison were found. It was
said, but the amount was not suffl
clent to have resulted In death.
However, the doctors stated, they
found symptoms of pneumonia of a
rather severe grade In both lungs.
The pneumonia, it was stated, waa of
a very obscure typo, and the convul
slons, which strengthened the theory
that the child had died Of poison,
were believed to have been due to the
toxemia secondary to pneumonia.

By FRANK JENKINS I
YOU'VE heard, of course, tha argu
ment that machinery displaces la
bor, and consequently Increases un
employment. Perhaps you believe It.
In tha light of figures obalnable.
however, it desnt seem to be true.
CONSIDER this fact:
Between 1870 and 1930, the popu
lation of the United States Increased
318 per cent, while the number of
persons gainfully employed In the
United States Increased 301 per cent.
In other words, jobs Increased fost
er than population In these years
when use of machinery was Increas
ing more rapidly than ever before.
AND thla fact: ' ' I
Shortly after the Civil War.
BEFORE great strides in mechanical
advancement had been made, 334 per
sons were employed In producing the
goods and services consumed by each
1.000 inhabitants of the United
States.
But by 1930 a higher standard of
living, resulting largely from the de
velopment of machinery, had created
so many new desires that 400 persons
were at work producing the goods
and services consumed by each 1,000.
MACHINERY made possible the cre
ation of a tremendous number
of new THINGS (such as automo
biles, radios, washing machines, etc.)
As these new THINGS were created
and the price brought low enough for
people to afford (which was made
possible by machinery) peop
WANTED them.
Supplying these new wants created
new Jobs.
- 1-4
MACHINERY has made possible
things that WEREN'T possible
before the modern machine came into
general use.
Cheap automobiles, for example,
Suppose every automobile In exist
ence bad to be made by hand labor
the steel hammered out by hand, the
bearings bored by hand, the parts
fitted together by hand with a file.
The cost would be PROHIBITIVE.
T WAS only when huge and compll-
cated machines (vast trip ham
mers to forge the steel, mighty presses
to stamp out the bodies, production
lines to put the parts together eco
nomically and swiftly) were devel
oped that automobiles could be made
so cheaply that vast numbers of peo
ple could afford to own them.'
The DEMAND for vast numbers of
cheap automobiles Increased Im
mensely the number of Jobs available.
SUPPOSE we were to take out of
human Ufa ENTIRELY the auto
mobile, which la a machine Itself and
the product of large numbers of other
machines.
What would happen? Would there
be MORE Jobs? Or would there be
fewer Jobs?
The answer is obvious. There would
be fewer Jobs.
ONE other fact, in closing:
Out of each seven factory work

developed since 1880, and they would

To the Editor:
I have before me a clipping from
your paper announcing the death
of J. C. Thompson caused by a
stroke. Mr. Thornpson was my friend,
as he was to thousands in that
community, and hts passing will be
mourned by all of them.
One year ago yesterday I left Ore
gon and came Bouth to this place,
as I had Just had a second stroke.
Two very prominent Medford doc
tors attended me for two days and
quit the case as they said there waa
nothing they could do. I was then
carried to Portland to a very famoua
hospital and after 10 days informed
my wife I would never be well
again and advised her to' bring ma
south to a lower altitude.
After arriving here I was exam
ined by two high class surgeons.
They wanted to operate for thyroid
trouble. I told them that they
would not operate on me.
So I drifted until I read a "syndi
cate" article in the newspaper on
high blood pressure, and as high
blood pressure is what causes strokes
I sent 10c for a pamphlet. On re
ceiving It I found very simple ad
vice as to diet. Following same, in
five weeks my presure was down
to normal and has remained so
since, by a correct diet.
In the1 nine years I have lived in
Jackson county many, many of my
friends have passed away from
strokes, so I am writing this article.
trusting you will publish it In your
"Correspondence" column and it
any one la Interested I will be glad
to give the name and address where
they can get a pamphlet.
I was back in Medford In Janu
ary for a week and my friends were
surprised to see me st all and mora
surprised to see my healthy condi
tion. I am remaining down here
only for correction of my eyes,
caused by one of the strokes.
