(Corvallla OaaetM-Tlmea) 4 Knot Hats APA to 112.7a The Baltimore Speech f T all depends upon what you expect. We and many others no doubt expected one of President Roosevelt's stirring challenging and inspiring political speeches, when he addressed the Young Democrats of Baltimore last night. It was announced ti the formal opening of the 1936 cam paign on the part of the President. It was awaited with intense interest and high expectation on the part of the country. After the President's aggressive and militant speech the first of the year, on the state of the union; followed by his ex uberant flaying of the Liberty League, and the forces of in trenched greed at the Jackson Day dinner,. we were all primed for something along the same line, when the President squared off before the microphone, after that hip-hoorah torch light procession, put on by Maryland's Democratic Youth. . . . S . DUT the address proved to be nothing or the sort. As a result we and we think many others, were disappointed. We kept waiting for that characteristic P. D. R. PUNCH, that resounding battle-cry of the Happy Warrior, and it never came. As a result in spite of that eloquent and fervent, appeal to the vision and idealism of youth, with which the President closed his remarks, there was with us, and we believe with many others a vague feeling, that the opportunity offered had somehow been muffed. N fact, in the usual acceptance of the term, it was not a poli tical speech at all. It certainly was not the type of talk, that usually marks the opening gun in a presidential campaign, by the leader of one of the two great opposing parties. It might almost have been the welcoming address of a college President, to the incoming Freshmnn class. Excellently phrased, effective ly and charmingly delivered, directed exclusively to youth, and inspirational to youth, but as far as the country, and the im portant issues are concerned, lacking in SUBSTANCE, or so it seemed to the present writer. WE can think of two probable explanations. First, that the President decided it desirable to open the campaign slowly, not start a ninjor offensive now, nor at the outset, give his opponents anything to shoot at. His address was to the Young Democrats, therefore, an appeal not to partisanship, but to the youth of both parties, not on specific controversial issues, but on general ideals and broad purposes, would be to gain the maximum benefit of such an opportunity. The second, flint, the fault if any did not rest with the President nor with his speech, but with those who listened to it, particularly those who having been fed on raw meat high ly seasoned, from the White House, were in a mood to be satis fied with nothing else. The President gave a good speech to the Youth of America. In general terms he clearly outlined his purposes and the pur poses of his party, to make this country, a true land of peace and plenty, not for the privileged few but for all, not in spo radio periods of booms on one hand, and depressions on the other, but a more abundant life for the men, women and chil dren of the world's greatest Democracy, as a permanent con dition. It was a tcmpernto and kindly talk, as befitted the leader of a great nation to the young. Far from scoring Big Business, he called on Big Business to assist in this great work; far from ap pealing to class prejudice, he envisioned a country, where gen oral well being would be so advanced, that no class feeling would exist. Ho urged security for the aged, more opportuni ties of education for the young, scorned a large permanent un employment, envisioned serviceable work for all. Then what justification for criticism and complaint! Well, as far as this paper is-conccrned there is none. It WAS good speech, with everything the President said we heartily agree. But frankly we expected him to say more. We expected him to be more specific. And wo might as well admit it, we ex pected him to take tiuothcr whack at his carping critics, and chase those sharp shooters oC "predatory wealth" once more, in full flight down tho track. Thnt is why, as far as we are concerned, the net reaction to the Baltimore broadcast was one of disappointment. Whether Explanation No. 1 or No. 2, or a combination of both gives the true answer, we shall leave for someone wiser than we to decide.

Owing to the large number of letter, received only a few ran be answered. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to Instructions. Address Dr. Hiiuani Brady, 268 El Camlno, Bererly Hills, (el. Comment on the Day s News Calles Exiled KNOWLEDGE FROM EXPERIMENT A reader sends a letter of thank for something In this column that convinced a relative that It la better to go to the doc tor, even to sub mit to an "ex ploratory opera tion" in case of possible cancer of the stomach, than It Is to do nothing but wor ry about It. Well, of course I don't know, but I be lieve I'd rather have the doctor take a surgical look-see than Just drift along, If I were the patient with the suspect ed stomach. If It proved to be a can cer, It might still be operable; If It proved to be advanced beyond hope of cure by surgery, well, I'd have had my chance anyway; and If It proved to be a benign, non-cancerous con dition, then, by Jimlny, I'd be dam glad I had been opened by mistake. The reader goes on to philosophize a bit: "Why Is the word experimental such a bugbear In the lay mind? My own brother lost confidence In bis doctor because he heard him say he'd like to take some delicate look ing children Into bis home and ex perm lent with their diet.' The doc tor has no children of his own, and I thought It fine of him, but, alas I he used that word experiment. He didn't get the children. The mother said she had rather raise them on corn bread and molasses than have some doctor experiment on them. The doctor meant to give them sun- baths and more adequate diet. The mother' would gladly give a dollar the bottle for cod liver oil for the children If she had the money, but she can't give them sun baths, be cause she fears they would catch cold." Ignorance Is the answer. Not Just ordinary Ignorance, but the kind a great many people have who consider themselves quite Intel ligent, even well educated. The kind people acquire from their general reading. Health Ignorance. Ignorance misinformation In physiology. I Ignorance or maleducatton in hy- j glene. ' Benlghtedness, prejudice, er rors and false Ideas propagated by our great .American nostrum and quack interests. I'm as hard boiled as a doctor can be about such a matter. I began ex perimenting On patients when I be gan practice, In the hospital, and I kept right on experimenting every day of my professional life. A doctor who doean't experiment is altogether too good to be true. Nearly every bit of useful medical knowledge we have was gal nod through experiment. If a doctor doesn't experiment he ought to get out of a liberal profession and seek a Job as helper for some me chanic. You can't name a doctor who Is worthy of anybody's confi dence who doesn't experiment con stantly. A quack or a mail-order crook or a shortcut healer of one kind or an other, somehow, la the only kind of doctor who Is cocksure about every thing, and such humbugs are the only kind of doctors who pretend to guarantee cures. An honest doctor of course, will not and cannot guaran tee a cure for anything In any cir cumstances. But how many laymen at this moment are patronizing fak- era who pretend to give such guar antees? Nearly every day I receive a letter or two asking me to recommend sonw doctor or specialist who guarantees his treatment. It would probably shock one of that level of Intelligence If I were to say In reply that every remedy, every treatment, Is necessar ily an experiment. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS No Sympathy Followed with Interest your articles, particularly those on compulsory vac cination. I do not believe In serums or vaccines and I devote part of my time to antl-vlvlsectlon propaganda. (E. B. H.) Answer I believe In vaccination. I have no sympathy or patience with your propaganda. If you had a child in dire need you would certainly not object to sacrificing a monkey, a guinea pig, a dog or any other ani mal to enable the doctors to relieve the child's suffering or restore health. None so blind 1 I oppose compulsory vaccination, although I like to keep myself and my own loved ones pro tected by vaccination. Part-time propagandists become full-time prop agandists if they can get a job at It that pays. Yankeeland has plenty of wiseacrea who can be persuaded to pay. Iodln Ration Is Only One Factor If I understand It, you say your lodln ration will preserve youth or postpone the onset of old sge. I'd like more particulars about this . . (A. E. T.) Answer Send ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your ad dress, for booklet "The Regeneration Regimen." Youth's Education Neglected My son aged 17 Is growing tall. His right shoulder Is lower than his left, and he stoops forward. Might this be from carrying his books under one arm? Should he go to a doctor t or wear braces? He la active In sport, swims, plays basketball, soccer, base ball . . . (Mrs. N. E.) Answer Is the school he attends so poor that there Is no physical ed ucatlon department or Is the school so badly conducted that this branch of training is neglected in the fine old mid-Victorian manner? That the boy la active In sport and plays games Is no criterion of his health or phys ical welfare. Better take him to your physician for a careful physical ex amination, that is, a complete health examination, and then follow the ad vice the physician will give. Ed.

The betting around here that they will not be long, whether not thoae two particular boats rrlved In Honduras with the Mexi can arms. It will be denied officially, of course, but there was only one rea- on why Mr. Hull waa not Inclined be particular about Mr. carlaa' neighborhood record. The Pan-Amer ican conference la In the offing and the Latins are aensltlve neighbors. What may prove to be far more serious la the fart that eome others down In that end of the neighbor hood have hinted that they have bigger Ideas than oura about run nlng the forthcoming neighborhood conference. Frankly, their suggestions are get ting out of hand. Internal Latin American polltlca Is beginning to creep in. In proposing the confer ence, It waa. and atlll la. the Inten tion of thla government to con nne It aolely to peace pacta. But Chile, for aome time, has been worried by Argentine armament pur. chases, especially airplanes. So the president of Chile. In hla response to Prealdent Roosevelt, suggested that Ins conference take up the queation of limitation of armament In thla hemisphere. Our armament limitations have alwaya been dependent aolely on I activities in ti e eastern and western ends of thla neighborhood, tEng. land, Europe, jajpanj. It lias no natural relation to South American armaments. It ws ever get mixed up with the southern lads, ws would have to play the role of big brother, which la even mors difficult than good neighbor, at times. Juit to make matters more com plicated, Guatemala also has come forward with a plan for mutual assistance pact and establishment of a permanent court of justice for thla hemisphere. Tou can Imagine what the senate would do to that embarrassing Idea. The current official family here like, the Latins, but not enough to enter any mutual aaaletance pact with them beyond mere consultation. And It distinctly does not like peace courta after what the senats did to the laat one. Thla one would be worae because we would have to mak, advance commitments. uch aa probably a promise to refer to third partlea the disputes which might srlss with Pan-America over our defense measures In ths Pacific. Another unbright Idea la ths aug gestlon of certain other Latin Amer ican natlona that diplomatic pro cedure prevail on the conference agenda committee. Thl, would mean majority rule. If that erer happened we would have one rote, the aame as the tlnleat nation. Furthermore, a majority would not bs on our aide In deciding many aubjeete to be discussed at the conference, as the aUfTireetlona have Indicated. Consequently, aubjects tor discis sion will be selected by unanimous consent, or Mr. Roosevelt will mov, hla Interest to another neighborhood. Suave Mr. Sumner Welle,, aaalat ant secretary of atats, haa been designated unofficially aa neighbor hood mediator. He la making an ef fort to quiet everyone down. How erer, his experience, ,o far have convinced many a topnotcher hers. If not Mr. Wellea himself, that "the policy of trie gocd neighbor" may turn out to bs Juat another good f.UliS.

By FRANK JENKINS THUS writer sat the other day In - oomerence or dub mess men, the subject under discussion being certain phases of community devel opment and progress which must be given serious consideration If the community Is to go forward as It should. You know how these conferences arts a lot of hard-driven, overwork ed citizens who have torn themselves away from their own affairs because of the need to take upon somebody's shoulders the responsibility for the community's progress and welfare. (At least, that's the way we edi torial writers apeak of It when we're feeling long-faced and solemn and In the mood to preach a little). rWAfl a luncheon conference, and they had rhubarb pie for dessert, and that reminded somebody that back in his younger days he had to go out about this time of the year and dig sassafras root to make sassa fras tea to thin out the blood, which was supposed to have become too thick and gummy during the long months of winter. That started another one off, and he recalled that In his early days hack In Illinois the kids wore asa- foetlda In little cloth bags suspended around their necks In order to ward off diphtheria, measles, etc, and in addition some of them wore In these bags a certain variety of golden-colored spider that when dried was held to be peculiarly potent In scaring away disease.

Ehrhardt said "sll questions and problems of general interest affecting thia cooperative mortgage system will be talked over; member-borrowers will be given a full explsnatlon of the program for decentralising the land bank's operations and revitalizing the principle of farmer ownership and control by rebuilding the system around the locsl association." tire in security for the balance of their daya on earth." Mr. Roosevelt did not indicate whether the administration la plan ning specific proposala along these lines, beyond the social security and other programs already enacted. But he did Indicate that the New Deal, despite the Invalidation of NRA, still hopes to attain certain of that experiment's objectives. He said the government "must and will give consideration" to shorter hours, sta bility of employment and "adequate minimum wages." Again, he called on Industry to "undertake rpaonah reduction of hours of work per week, while, at the. same time, they keep the aver age individual's pay envelope at least aa large as it is today."

Vice-President Garner rode in an open automobile In the procession, followed by Speaker Byrns, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Postmaster General James A. Farley and other leaders. The president's speech was studied today as a text for many a Demo cratic campaign speaker In the months to come. He started with a discussion of youth's problems, say-1 ing: I Youth Questioning, "Flaming youth has become flaming question. And youth comes to us wanting to know what we propose to do about a society that hurts so many of them. Ridiculing the Idea that the con fidence and prosperity of 1928 would cure everything," he said "1928 waa no mlllenlum." You and I know the simple fact that while production waa increas ing and profits were Increasing in 1938 and 1929. unemployment was growing at an astounding rate . . . The best that the cap tains of the country and captains of industry could do for you before the depres sion was not gocd enough then and It is not good enough today." Production, he said. Is about back to the pre -depression high point, but employment Is only about 80 per cent as great. But he emphatl- , cally rejected predicttcna of a "vast permanent army of unemployed ." saying "no man who Is sensitive to human values dares to accept such forecasts." It Makes II I m Laugh. To the Editor: Your editorial of today: "Dissen sion Within" Is funny: .It makes me laugh. Dr. Townsend "the crusading ideal ist" and Earl Clements "the self seeking materialist," break, so there will be more breaks In the Townsend ranks and this eventually will break the .Townsend movement. It looks like your wish, was father to the thought. Is there any similar dissension In the Republican party? Is there any dissension between Senator Borah and Herbert Hoover? If so. will that disrupt or kill the Republican party? Are President Roosevelt and Alfred Smith In harmonious accord as to the principles that should govern in the Democratic party? If they are not will the differences between them smash the Democratic party? Were there any dissensions In the ranks of the abolitionist party pre vious to Abraham Lincoln's election to the presidency? "s To say, or even to intimate, that dissension In the Townsend ranks will disintegrate or kill the Town send party looks to me like so much bunk I W. W TRUAX. Medford, Ore., April 13, 1936. Trap the Yellow Jackets. To the Editor: i Now and especially for the next six weeks Is the proper time to trap the yellow Jackets. The best and cheapest way I know of is: After taking the fish out of a salmon can. remove all the lid, fill It up half full of fresh water and set It outside, where It will not be tipped over by anything like dogs, chickens, etc., and In a few days make an Inspection of the cans and take out the drowned yellow Jackets, because when there are so many drowned ones, the next ones will be able to walk over the dead ones and not drown. You know the yellow Jacket queens are the only ones wintered over and they begin to come out now. Just think what It means to kill one yellow Jacket queen now.
