Editorial Correspondence
STONINGTON, Connecticut, August 29. Your correspon
dent a week ago conceived the bright idea of taking a vacation.
We felt a particular urge to get away from politics. We have
spent seven days trying to do this, and truth compels ns to
state it hasn't been a very conspicuous success.
Among other things we motored over to the ancient whaling
station of New Bedford, Massachusetts. While the older girls
made the rounds of the second-hand stores we sought sanctuary
in the famous Bourne museum, which is devoted largely to the
whaling industry. ,
About the first thing we ran into was an oil portrait of
"Commodore" Delano, and the information from our guide
that the fine old gentleman was President Eoosevelt's grand
father, a leading figure in the New Bedford shipping industry.
Mrs. Delano Boose velt, the president' mother it seems, had
been two days before just where we are standing, and had visit
ed the old Delano estate, near New Bedford. We saw it coming
and tried to dodge it but no luck. The guide launched at once
into a discussion of politics I
( . . e
We finally shook the guide and wandered down stairs. The
first room we entered contained a collection of ship models,
very fine ones too, one made of bone, of a French frigate
valued at $30,000. There was quite a group of sightseers in the
room, andiwe had barely cast an eye on the first exhibit, before
a bald-headed gentleman on our right was telling his party that
President Roosevelt's hobby was ship, models, and he thought
it a great pity, Franklin Delano had not devoted his energies
to ship models and stamp collecting instead of going into
politics. The country he opined would be the better for it.
So we beat a strategio retreat to the first floor again and
proceeded to the main exhibit room, famous for it reproduction
of the elder Jonathan Bourne's whaling ship the "Ijagoda"
which nearly fills the main floor, and whose masts and spars
rise nearly two stories to the roof. It is about one-third the
size of the original ship, and is a perfect reproduction in every
particular. An elderly gentleman, a veteran whaler himself,
took us in tow and showed us around.
We told him we were from Oregon and had known Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., who was senator
godfather of the once famous
the initiative, referendum and recall.
"So ye knew the senator,
"Wall ho was in here jest a week back, to look things over.
His sister built this model here. ' Calculate Jonthan, Jr., is in
his eighties now, but he's purty spry, and as bright as they
make 'em. He went out to Oregon rand got some fool ideas
I gueRs, but no nonsense about him now. He's fer this man
London and hns no truckin with Roosenfelt. How do things
look out your way, and do ye
it s going to be a hogs racel"
The old salt escorted us up
get a birdseye view of the whaling ship below, and look over
the office of the senator's father,
office was very interesting with
stands, ledgers and account books. A plaque on the wall read:
Jonathan Bourne, born 1811,
in the whaling industry of New Bedford for 50 years, Distin
guished by indomitable energy, great foresight, courage and
resourcefulness."
"He wuh a great man" Baid
He owned a fleet of 15 whalin' ships and managed a score of
others, and for half a century they made money. That Lagoda
there was his best ship. Do ye know that there boat in 12 trips
netted $680,000 yes sir, that's big money, or used to be, hut
with this here New Deal what's a few hundred millions now."
"Is there any whaling around here today" we asked.
"No no profit in it anymore. Oh there's whales out there,
hut the Norwegians get what they is, but they play mostly in
Anlarctio waters. The last local whalin was ten years ago,
and ye can see pictures of the whale on the first floor,
"Yes sir, the old man Bourne was a hard worker, and a
smart trader; a real Quaker-Yankee, with no foolishness about
him. You can see the old stone Honrno wharf and warehouse
down the street, now, it's still riinnin', but the city is goin' to
take it over, lie had a room up near the top with a cubby
hole where he could work and also see what was goin' on below.
If any man tried to soldier on the job he tagged him, and Rent
him Ncoot.in. One day they say he fell off the wharf missed
the gang plank in a gust o wind and three of his whalin'
boys jumped in artcr him. They drug him out aputterin' and
half drowned, but did he thank 'cm, and give 'em the drinks
around? He did not as soon as he could git the water out of
his mouth and git his breath, he yelled at the three of 'em
'what did the three of ye jump in fur, couldn't one do the
job, and two of ye, keep at your wu-r-r-k.' That's the way
ho was business all the time he worked hard and expected
everybody else to no boondogglin' fer Jonthan Bourne, no
sir" no BOON DOaGMNM"
We made an after dinner call on some friends here in
Stonington nice people for a pleasant, informal evening, a
little cut in bridge, knitting and general conversation. Ten
minutes after our arrival, some bright person hopped up to
announce that Governor Landon was speaking at Buffalo, and
she led a concerted dash for the family radio. Thus the Repub
lican candidate furnished the pieco do resistance for the eve
ning, tho best speech he has delivered thus far, to our way of
thinking. The proceedings were enlivened by the sharp-eyed
lawyer from Toledo, Ohio, keeping one ear glued to the dial
piece, and at every telling point, slapping his hands and ejacu
lating "that-a-boy give 'em hell, Alfy." The unexpected
expression of "cock-eyed" brought down the house, yes
indeed, a pleasant time was had by all 1

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Ever Have a Cramp Sleeping
Following a suggestion In your
column, as quickly as possible when
I feel leg cramps coming on at night,
I take from one-third to one-half
teaspoonful of baking soda In- water.
It seems to prevent further cramps.
. . . (Mrs. M. C.)
Answer Another remedy, where
leg cramps at night occur frequently,
Is calcium lactate, gluconate or
chloride ten grains of either, dis
solved In water, sweetened and flav
ored with fruit Juice, three times a
day after food, for several weeks.
Why nrlng That Up?
Recalling your early enthusiasm
for dlnltrophenol, did you notice the
report of the death of a doctor In
who was believed to have taken very
heavy doses of vitamin D for arth
ritis? . . . (F. C. J.)
Answer Why can't you let a fel
low bury his mistakes quietly? I
have apologized here several times
for having been misled by the Jour.
A. M. A. Into using dlnltrophenol
myself and recommending It to my
correspondents. The doctor whose
death was attributed to vitamin D
was taking far greater amounts of
It than any physician has advocated
for therapeutic purposes, Moreover,
there wsa no convincing evidence
that vitamin D had anything to do
with th fatality.
Invalidism Preferred
Mother Is not willing to try your
vsrlcose veins remedy. She fears . . .
(H. C.)
Answer As I recollect, mother Is
practically Invalided by chronic var
icose ulcer, and she refuses to ha-e
the underlying varicose vein obliter
ated by Injection.' Such Invalidism Is
a sin.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THIS headline tells a crisp and
terse story: "Rebels Plan To Re
store Bpantsh Monarchy."
A dispatch from rebel territory
adds:
"A military dictatorship will
be constituted Indefinitely to
exterminate all loyalist elements
and to rule the country without
any; parliament whatever, high
officials of the fascist Junta, as
serted.' N "Then, they said, will come
a plebiscite (election) to deter
mine upon the restoration of the
bourbon dynasty."
IT IS Interesting to speculate upon
that proposed plebiscite (which Is
a fancy diplomats' word for election).
With a military dictatorship running
the country, and no parliament what
ever to bother It, and thla military
dictatorship aet ' upon the Idea of
restoring the Spanish monarchy
(meaning some member of ex-King
Alfonso's family), Juat how many
votes, do you reckon, would be
counted AGAINST the restoration?
Not many, probably, as they do
things In dictator-ruled countries.
ANOTHER paragraph from this
rebel territory dispatch Is In
teresting. It reads:
"Close collaboration with Ger
many and Italy, friendly nations,
which, fascist leaders said, have
stood by the rebel army tn the
present civil -fear, would be
maintained, officials of the fas
cist Junta asserted."
THAT Is to say, Germany and Italy
(both fascist ruled) have been
backing the Spanish rebellion. Rus
sia, communist-ruled, and France,
with a radical socialist government,
have been at least secretly patting
the Spanish communist government
on the back and telling It to do Its
darndest. -
All of which Is leading up to a
new alignment, communist on one
side and fascist on the other, which
offers excellent possibilities of again
plunging Europe jnto bloody and
prolonged warfare.
If such a war should begin, no
one can say where It would stop. But
It requires no son of a prophet to
figure out that by the time It stop
ped, common, everyday sort of peo
ple In Europe would be reduced to
unbelievable poverty and want.
THERE la a distinct effort in this
country to realign American pol
itics along radical versus reactionary
lines, abandoning the economic Ms
sues upon which our parties have
divided In the past and substituting
for them the social Issues that have
divided European parties for the past
several generations. j
Let's think a long, long time be
fore we do anything like that. Eur
ope s radical-reactionary political 1
alignment Is bringing It to the verge !
of a frightful abyss.

first eastern trip. Is primarily to es
tsbllsh a contrast with President
Roosevelt. It was not fully apparent,
but hla West Middlesex speech was
written a a response to the presi
dent's acceptance speech at Phila
delphia. Anyone who takes the trou
ble to compare the two texts will con
firm the Impression that Mr. Landon
dictated the Middlesex speech with
the Roosevelt text In his hand.
The second speech. In a more no
ticeable way, was intended to assert
his independence. Nearly everyone
caught the proper Interpretation of

These first two speeches, likewise,

The Moon

The pretty moon hangs In th sky

And then a long thin crescent shape
Just like an archer's bow.
And then sometimes no moon at all
To light the earth below.
