The Presidents Speech WELL, whether political speeches make votes or don't, this much is certain there is a great difference between them. Some are good, some are fair, some are terrible. In the first category stands the speech of President Boosevelt, deliv ered last night, it was good, in fact one of the best. Now just WHY was it good! Because of its stirring elo quence, because of its striking periods, because of that much advertised personal charm, the seductive, sirenistic radio voice t That would be the G. 0. P. explanation, of course. Even such a fair-minded and judicious political observer as William Allen White, thanks God that his pal and political protege, is not an orator; that unlike the president, Governor Landon has never mastered, and doesn't wish to master, the subtle, beguiling radio technique. The implication of course is "Honest Alf" only talks sense, only presents the facts j whereas President Boosevelt, abandons both, soars in the empyrean, pulls the wool over the eyes of the unthinking electorate, by his blinding eloquence, and leaves the rest to his guiding star, and his in separable companion, "Lady Luck." . Which has just about as much truth in it, as all the other Bcpublican "false issues and red herrings", which the president so effectively disposed of last night. pOB President Boosevelt is not a spellbinder in the sense that William Jennings Bryan was, or Father Couglin is today. He has no silver tongue, indulges in no table thumping, rabble rousing technique. He has a good radio voice yes. But why is he so effective over the air, or in person before an audience! Why was he so effective last night! The answer, as we see it, is perfectly plain. Because he did, what William Allen White, claims is all his candidate can do, he talked plain common sense. He indulged in uo oratorical flourishes, no flights of fancy, ho presented the record, as it is, be concisely, and in essentially a simple fashion, marshalled his facts. For every statement he made, there was his record to sustain it. That's all. But that we maintain, in the effective ness of a political speech of any speech is EVEBYTIJIN'G. For in the effectiveness of no argument is there a satisfac tory substitute for the TBUTH. In the effectiveness of no delivery, is there a satisfactory substitute for conviction and sincerity. e e e e TPJIKRE was art and skill in the presentation of course. Not because the president is a great orator, but because of careful training and much practice, he comes close to being a MASTER of the spoken and written word. There is no trick in that. It comes to those who can express their thoughts in simple languago, with the MAXIMUM clarity and the MINIMUM of words. Few can do it but that is what the president did. "INHERE is another thing. When a man is SURE of his facts, KNOWS the essential Tightness of his cause, and is aroused by the falsity and the injustice of the attacks, made against him, a subtle something stirs within him, which is transmitted somehow to those who listen to him. It can't be faked. The rambunctious Colonel Knox, works himself into a terrific lather, paws the air, bungs the table, gives every outward manifesta tion of being stirred to the depths of his embattled soul, as he sees the enomy charging against liberties, BUT, he really doesn't momentarily alarmed aro merely over. And the reason it doesn t get over, is the colonel himself doesn't foel it. Ho would like to but he can't. It's just play acting. Tho TRUTH isn't there. BUT tho truth was with the president last night, he knew it, Mb n i I i I i n. n ., , ft, n Knn. '.t ... I. I J . ui,u,i.iii.v in jinviian nucn It, CVUl.TUIIi; IVUU liniCUCU IU him knew it, even those who because of their hostility, would never publicly admit it. It is just one of those things. It's there or it isn't. You have it or you haven't it. It was there and the president had it lHst night, and that whs why his speech was so far above the level of any other political speech thus far in the oampaign. piCllUAI'S it was a great speceh, though greatness is more likely a tide nothing can win, until the verdict of posterity has been obtained. But certainly good. And it deserves that overworked term of "unanswer able." Not that there won't be an attempt W. R. Hearst will be trying to answer it until unanswerable in tbe sense it cause it rests in the facts, and them lie. I resident Roosevelt a Communist! Roosevelt a foe of Democracy!

Why has this country been spared revolution, why has our Democracy so successfully survived the depression, and the upsurge of radicalism which has destroyed or impaired practi cally all democracies of the world!

In a recent article (How's Your Rickets, Old Timer?) which dealt mainly with the constipation habit. we expressed the opinion (Just or Doe Brady's opinion, but still an opinion) that c e r tain charac teristic signs or symptoms of outspoken rick ets In Infanta or young c h 1 Wren commonly occur In youths and young adulta who get some thing less than an optimal dally ration of vitamin D. For Instance, constipation and flab by muscle tone In stomach, Intes tine and colon. Rarely or never' Is rank rlckeU diagnosed In adults or even In chil dren over 15 years, but then, remem ber that appendicitis was rarely or never diagnosed SO years ago vic tims of the disease then succumbed to "Inflammation of the bowels" (peritonitis) or what not, and the doctors were not blamed much, for their fees wero not large anyway. I believe the "weak ankles" pro- nated feet, potential or functional stage of flatfeet so frequently seen in children, especially girls, in their early 'teens, and so commonly mal treated with arch props and the like, Is essentially a manifestation of rick ets and calls for an optimal ration of vitamin D, sunbaths or ultravio let Irradiation from a suitable lamp (over the entire body or as much of the surface aa possible), suitable exercise under the supervision of the physician and aa a rule medication for the associated anemia. But the condition, in my opinion. Is essen tially rickets and an optimal dally ration of vitamin D Is too cure for rickets. Because of the striking deformi ties so often occurring as a result of severo rickets In Infancy or early childhood, people generally think of rickets as a bone disease. It Is a nutritional disease and affect mus-, clea and nerves and vital organs as much as It does bones. Quite as characteristic of outspoken rickets In children as the typical bony deformi ties are the associated disorders of the nervous system and the consti pation, pot-belly, tympanltea or ex cessive distension with gas or air, and the flabby musculature, espec ially the poor tone of the muscle of stomach. Intestine and colon. Adulta with a rickety alimentary muscle readily acquire the physic habit or dependence on artificial aids of one kind or another whether pill. bran, oil, enema or whntnot and lesa easily overcome the habit than do adults whose nutritional condi tion la more nearly normal. Certainly vitamin D is not a laxa tive. But X believe an optimal ra tion of vitamin D (which means considerably more vitamin D dally than may be required to prevent out spoken rlcketa) Is Indicated In the treatment of the constipation habit Take It or leave It. It is just an Communications Credit does To Roosevelt To the Editor: To witness a national campaign without the Issues of sound money, tha gold standard, repudiation and Inflation, seems odd to an old-timer. Thtfe white-hot words have been branded on every psrty platform, and have burned their Imprint on every partisan newspaper, since before the halcyon rclgn of the great magician. Murk Hanna, If William J. Bryan could, today, sail his flat boat, labeled "10 to 1 back through the current of the Stygian river, and note the paucity of these burning issues, the very is sues that three times defrsted him for president, all dead and burled like his own mortal remains, can you Imagine what his reaction would be? To be thus vindicated, after forty years he would probably Tapes "Though I die, yet shsll I live again.' President Franklin D. Roosevelt has accomplished that which Bryan tried to do forty years ago. He has melted up the golden calf, and has cancel lea from the lexicon the words "re pudiation" and "Inflation," and has guaranteed our deposits in the banks, all of which has been euatalned by our supreme court. And even If all the criticisms of Roocevelt and his administration sre true, the voters should be 100 per cen. for his reelection, for the reaa otw he guaranteed our bank ac counts; he stabillKxJ our money and, despite the opposition of the big fin anclal concerns, put It In circulation so the people could live, showing he has more feeling and sympathy for the common people than any presi dent we have had In the last fifty yetra, or more.

Only four or five years ago I de clined to recognize the claims made for synthetic vitamin D concentrates (made by ultraviolet Irradiation of ergnnterol, a component of various foods and of yeast), largely on the ground that such products were out rageously expensive. But today such a concentrate can be had at a price actually lower than the price of good cod liver oil, per thousand units of vitamin D. But remember, now I recommend an optimal ration of vitamin D by way of a help In correcting a bad habit, not as a cure for constipation and flat feet. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Sterilization.

Is it likely to prove Injurious If I eat eggs, cooked or raw? ... (A. W. R.) Answer No. Food anil Health. 1, Is lettuce essential l.i one's dally diet? Is lettuce a source of vitamins? Have eggs less food value when fried? Are they less digestible than when cooked in other ways? 3. Does peeling potatoes destroy or remove anything of nutritive value? . . . (H. P.) Answer 1. It Is a gooa plan to eat some lettuce dally; lettuce Is an excellent source of vitamins A, B, C and O; It Is also rich in calcium, yields alkaline ash. 2. Eggs are most digestible and nutritious cooked the way you prefer; least when taken raw. 3. peeling removes most of the Iron; baked potato skin is both appetizing and nourishing.

New York's widely exploited Indifference Is main ly caution The fear of being Jock eyed Into some trickery. The variety of Eyppers who have . preyed on the metropolltes from time im memorial have forced folk to throw up a bar rter cool, aus. tere, forbidding. But It Is only a veneer. Crack the shell and one finds a quality soft, mellow like the yolk of an egg. Newcomers who arrive here for residence are chilled by this lack of warmth and sympathy so often generously gusnea to the stranger In the smaller cities. Yet after a stay newcomers are exercising the same precaution. A defense mechanism that becomes ab solutely necessary if they are to aur- vlve. Established New Yorkers under stand. They know friendships are deep here only after careful sound ings. To be wary la to be wise. Ask a New Yorker an address and as a rule, If he doesn't know, he will shake his head and move on without comment. He has learned such questions are often the opening wedge for some sly bit of mimme rigging or perhaps something more sinister. Among the tramp fraternity there's a standard gag about where they win stop when they make for the sea' shores. The universal Inn for them Is the "Hotel Underwood" that is under the boardwalk. Time has steadily increased the hobo heglra to watering places. For years they never went near spas, but somehow they found this sort of beachcombing prolific. People In vacation mood are more responsive to the hard luck story. Then. too. all that Is needed Is an old bathing suit for the entire season. N B.

I came upon a venerable clock In a gallery the other day that would harken the horologlcal hobbyist. A Tiffany, a century old, and shaped like the top of a grandfather clock, It booms the hour In exactly the tlm- hre of Biff Ben and with clarion zoom. i " On the quarter h"ur it sounds tne truer at news Aesh in Sew York h the No single newspaper could maintain the enormous, worldwide news-gathering sys tem of The Associated Press. The cost would be prohibitive. It is only possible through the coopera tive effort of the 1,350 member news papers which are The Associated Press.

It Is a product of candle-lit days and at the side Is . inn. mi to be nulled out that makes It strike the nearest hour In the dark. Clock collecting seems -rather drab pursuit, yet H fascinates many worldly men. Will Hogg col lected banjo clocks. Oelett Burgess has a half dozen clocks In every room. Deao Ayleeworth goes In for grandfather clocks. And there's Bob rnnii'i collection ot watches snd clocks, one of the largest In the world. There's a melancholy swing bdoui me rhythmic tlck-tock of clocks that has an appeal. Napoleon at St. Helena said he longed more than anything else for a favorite clock from Malmal son.
