And all your thoughts of yesterday
Are stiff ss your ears and frown brow.
Rinpty and cold Is your Uny head:
All of the lore of the trees snd Iswn
And love of scampering life Is gone.
And the beady fire In your eyes is

Little Pagan, you crossed the street.
And met a Chrlttian, driving a dragon
And you drank death from a giant's

At the mouth of a monster without

But you will lie here day by day,'
With none to come and hide you

dee Mall Trlbuiw w.lnt sds,
Governor Landon s Predicament
T1TE are frankly sorry for Qovernor Landon. We never ex
" pected him to carry on a vigorous, hard hitting campaign.
He is not the type. But we did expect him to-carry on a
CONSISTENT and therefore in its way, a more or less effective
one. '
But that ho has not done. That he should not agree with
his team-mate Colonel Enox was inevitable, because he is at
heart a Liberal, and his companion on the ticket, most definitely
is not. This has been confusing to the people, as we .have pre
viously pointed out. But it wag definitely a part of the Repub
lican strategy to play both ends against the middle. '
But when the candidate of a great national party, not only
fails to agree with his running mate,. but also fails to agree with
HIMSELF, then certainly the situation is distressing, and calls
for diagnosis and gome explanation, for such an extraordinary
phenomenon.
e '
IN Portland, Maine, only two weeks ago, Governor Landon
before a metropolitan audience, came out strongly against
what is generally called the theory of scarcity in agriculture
asking, "Do we want the government forbidding us to plant
what we want in our own fields t"
To which of course the answer was "We. do NOT 1"
But only a few days ago, before an audience of farmers in
Des Moines, Iowa, he not only
but also emphatically endorsed the Roosevelt soil conservation
program, which is the administration's substitute for the AAA.
Instead of saying he did not want the government to tell the
farmer what he could,' and what he could not plant, he said
he did want just that.
IN that same speech in Portland, Governor Landon said, he
was in favor of abundance and free enterprise, and against
national planning as applied to economic problems of any kind.
"Planned economy" said he, "is incompatible with the Demo
cratic form of government. It' must lead to ever increasing
executive authority."
In Iowa be again turned a complete flip-flop, for the socallcd
soil conservation program he accepted and endorsed is national
planning and nothing else. Under it, if the farmer docs not
follow the instructions of his government,, and withdraw bis
worn out acres, from cultivation and plant some soil restoring
crop, or leave them idle, he docs not get his cash benefits.
TPIIE Republican platform came out for a high protective
tariff. Of course it didn't use that term that, would have
been poor politics. But it pledged tbe party to protect this
country from the influx of ALL foreign products, which thiB
country produces which IS the same thing. And it definitely
stated "We will repeal the present Reciprocal Trade Agreement
law." ! . , "..
. But unless our understanding of the English language is
terribly at fault, at Minneapolis recently, Governor Landon said
he FAVORED tho reciprocal trading agreement. Certain details
like the favored nation clause, and "Yankee" methods of the
present administration were at fault, but the essential idea
was right, he favored it in principle and it received his endorse
ment. But how about thut pledge to repeal? And didn't the Re
publican candidate lay special stress in bis, acceptance speech,
on the fact that the platform of his party had his complete
adherence, and that a pledge to carry out its principles was
inviolate or words to that effect!
GOVERNOR LANDON has had much to say about growing
debts, the increase of taxes, the futile attempt of the
Roosevelt administration to spend itself into prosperity, the
need of rigid economy, balancing the budget and the govern
ment husbanding its resources just as does tho head of a family.
But what did ho tell the farmers of Iowa, after accepting
the soil conservation program, and endorsing crop insurance t
(both of which will cost many millions of course).
He said this: "This means the continuation of your crop
checks"; and to the unemployed "this means the continuation
of your relief checks." This doesn't sound much like paying
heed to the following pledge of his own party platform:
"The Democratic party hta been guilty of frightful waste and
extravagance, It has destroyed the morale of many of the people
and made them dependent upon the government. We pledge
ourselvea to stop the folly of uncontrolled spending, to balance
the budget, not by Increasing taxes, but by cutting expendi
tures DRASTICALLY AND IMMEDIATELY." (The capitals are
ours.)
Drastically aud immediately? with crop checks, relief checks,
insurance checks and all the other government ehecka con
tinuing! How can that be done?
fH HUM, ao it goes I Well, what are we trying to make
out? that Governor Laudon is just another shifty, double
crossing politician, with no real convictions, no genuine princi
ples, saying one thing in one part of the country, saying the
exact reverse somewhere else, willing to do anything or say
anything, no matter what it is, if it proraisea to get him votes?
No that isn 't our idea of the
reason he is in such a tangle that he doesn't know just where
he is, nor docs anyone else. .
The reason, ss wo sec it, is this; Qovernor Landon is in the
wrong party, and occupying the wrong place in that party. He
should not be running for president on the Republican ticket)
he SHOULD be running for vice-president on the Democratic
ticket. He is not the natural leader, he is the natural follower)
he is not the natural conservative, giving lip service to liberal
principles to get votes; ho is the natural Liberal, who should be
gettiug votes for his real political leader, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
not playing a part, but by saying just what he thinks, and being
no one but himself.
Oh yes we know that's a big laugh. But to those who
have seriously studied the present political situation, we don't
believe it will appear as fantastic as it sounds.
Briefly the idea is this, many don't realize it but two new
national parties have been formed, and a rapid political realign
ment is taking place. Just as thousands of Democrats have left
the Democratic party, so thousands of Republicans have joined
it, Roosevelt is just where he belongs, leading the new Liberal
party. Landon is where he DOESN'T belong, and that is his
dilemma, and may be his tragedy It ii because the internal
reactionary pressure of his own party, has been something that
he could not resist, that Governor Landon has followed such a
conflicting and inconsistent course, and NOT that such a course
is either his natural inclination or a true index of hia character

Kansas governor, nor the real i

lne Gary, A.B., of

lished September
24, 1032, in J.A.
M A., the value
of salmon oil in
the prevention
and treatment of
rickets was es
taolished. The
salmon oil used by these Investigat
ors was prepared from waste prod
ucts of the salmon canning Indus
try. They found the vitamin A and
vitamin D potency of salmon oil
equal to or higher than that of cod
liver oil.
The oil from canned salmon, par
ticularly the Chinook or King, the
Humpback or Pink and the Sockeye
or Bed was twice as rich In vitamin
D as average cod liver oil.
The waste from the salmon can
ning process would yield a million
gallons of salmon oil annually,
Salmon oil could be produced at
low cost.
Salmon oil provides vitamin A as
well as vitamin D, the vitamin A
potency being approximately the
same as that of cod liver oil.
The fat of salmon oil la easily
digested, well digested, well toler
ated. Infants old enough to ait up or
to stand up but not yet strong
enough to do so (by reason of rick
ets) gain the strength to pull them
selves ,up or to stand on their feet
and begin to walk In ten days or
two weeks after they get a dally
ration of salmon oil.
Referring to the estimate that the
waste from the salmon canning proc
ess -would yield potent laity a million
gallons of salmon oil a year, these
Investigators make this significant
remark:
"If such a quantity of salmon oil,
a source of vitamin D es yet un
tapped for turn an consumption, were
to be put on the market an a prop
erly standardized food and supplied
through the usual channels for the
distribution of food, one of the great
nutritional needs of infants and
young children could bo more easily,
and therefore more adequately, met."

QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS
Sterility.
I have been married two years and
no prospect of a baby yet. The first
year I used contraceptives. Now that
I am ready I can t have a baby. .
(Mrs. L. F. A.)
Answer In any such case the first
thing to be done is to determine
whether the husband is the sterile
partner as he is at least SO per
cent of the cases. This Is readily
done by examination which any good
physician can make microscopic.
Only when the husband's fertility has
been definitely determined, should
the wife assume that she Is sterile
A marriage can hardly be considered
barren until three years have passed
without conception.
Spots in' Eyes.
What causes spots floating in the
eyes? I don't notice them only when
I look at something bright. . . . (L.
l. a.)
Answer Trifling defects In sensi
tive film. We all have 'em If we look
for them.
Uric Acid.
Is there any treatment to remove
uric acid from the blood except oy
adhering to the milk, fruit and vege
table diet you recommend? . , . (G
W.)
Answer I have not recommended
such a diet for removing uric acid
There is no reason to Imagine any
illness Is due to urio acid.
