JOHNNY KELLY, the Oregonian's Washington correspon.lent, sees trouble ahead for President Roosevelt. In his column this morning, Johnny takes a squint at the crystal ball, and sees the Democratic party, disintegrating into two warring factions, over the political spoils of the recent landslide. The young Democrats, he says, will soon be fighting the Old Democrats; Southern Democrats of the north; there will be a wide and the conservative Democratic cilible Republicans, in opposing the administration. Thus Johnny reaches his final conclusion as follows: "Long before President Roosevelt completes his second term, bis present orgsnlratlon wUI be a house divided against Itself, and there will be a new alignment In 1040." Essentially we believe Johnny is right. ' The political revolution which started with the inauguration of President Roosevelt in March 1933, was only halted tempor arily by the recent election, and with the victory won, the forces working toward a new alignment will go on. HAD Governor Landon, as the representative of tbe western and progressive element in the Republican party, stuck to his guns, and refused to abdicate to the eastern Old Guard control, the result on November 3d, might well have been, what most political observers forecasted after the Cleveland conven tion, a real hoss race, with Roosevelt winning, but only by a nose. But he lacked either the stamina, or the political vision, to do this. . As a result lie was maneuvered into the Old Guard camp, the two factions within the Democratio party were there fore united, for the duration of the campaign against him, and the resulting massacre was unavoidable. With that pressure removed, and such an overwhelming landslide behind them, the pro-Roosevelt supporters will now naturally enjoy a breathing spell during which the various selfish and conflicting factional interests will assert themselves. ' DUT there is nothing unusual in this. . It merely brings into shurper relief, what has been taking place politically in this country the past three or four years, and which has frequently been commented upon in this column. Two new national political, while they may or may not retain their old titles, they will finally be entirely new in purposes and principles, one being essentially conservative in character and the other liberal. During the next four years, ing in the Democratic party, will Democrats like John W. Davis, awl Al Smith and leave the party; while true liberals, who remained with the Republican party in the recent campaign there are probably precious few of them, will as the issues be come still clearer, go over to the Roosevelt party where THEY belong. In other words, disintegration and integration, politically, with the campaign over, will lie resumed. This docs mean a now alignment in W40 perhaps in 1938. But it DOESN'T mean, as some readers of Johnny Kelly's column may con clude, that the now Liberal party, at- either time, will meet defeat. IN fact with such leadership as President Roosevelt, nationally and internationally, can supply, this natural sloughing off of that support given him during the recent campaign, which was based not upon conviction, but merely partisan adherence, will, eventually benefit both him and his party. For it will produce a party, carrying no dead weight, but united behind their leadership, upon the solid foundation of common aims and identical beliefs. It will be a coherent, organic, a ooustant and enthusiastic support. The dilemma facing Uie new Liberal party in 1940, will be that of a new party without the leader who has made that party in short the- liberals will face the diffiuult problem of finding a candidate, qualified to take President Roosevelt's place. A S we sec it, therefore, the close of Franklin Roosevelt's sec- mid term, will place him in much the same position as that occupied by his famous Roosevelt predecessor, Theodore the 1st, when his second terra ended. IF as now seems inevitable, Franklin D., does do well in his second term, the man to be nominated by his party in 3940, will bo the candidate he solccts. Tho immediate future of tho Liberal party, will depend upon the type of man then chosen. T. R. chose Taft. President Andrew Jackson, 100 years ago, under similar conditions, chose an equally unfortunate successor, and also failed to keep his own ideals dominant in' the party after his own retirement. In short precedent and tradition are against success of the Liberal party, after President Roosevelt has retired from active politics. But no one can he sure. This much is certain, throughout his administration Franklin Roosovelt has mads an extraordinary record of overturning tradition and precedent, with sensational success. Ho may avoid the errors of his predecessors when it conies to choosing the member of the new Liberal party, who is best fitted to carry on where he left off, and the rarty he has formed may continue to control the government of this country, after 1940.

RICKETS, GOUT A Any physician who haa time and information I - mean Inclination to look for It will find a visible sign of rickets in the majority of ; hta patients; some permanent defect or deform! ty which waa pro duced by the ac tive rickets of childhood. X-ray examination dis closes incontro vertible evidence of rlokets in more than 00 per cent of all children. Com petent physicians today deem It a duty to prescribe for every Infant a dally dose of vitamin D and thus to prevent rickets. Indeed, moat phy sicians now see to It that the pros pective mother shall have an ade quate dally ration of vitamin D so that her baby shall not be born with rickets. Laymen and perhaps some doctors are inclined to think of rickets merely as deformity. While it Is true that temporary or permanent deformities commonly occur ..during the active stage and afterward, rickets la in truth a constitutional condition, a nutritional deficiency involving the blood, nerves, muscles, and organs as well as teeth, spine, skull and skeleton. (Those interested will find more about rickets In The Brady Bet ter Baby Book the lemon yellow book.) In any circumstance where there Is any shortage In the dally vitamin D Intake the body Is unable to utilise normally the important elemerits, calcium and phosphorus, which enter Into the formation of teeth, bones. blood, nervous tissue, muscle, vital organs. ' Now of course I know nothing about the malady described In all tho older medical tones as gout. I have never oh-oh I mean I can't sawy "gout"! in truth I have seen several casea which purported to be gout, but I have never been convinced that uric acid or any of Its congeners can cause any malady. I belabor this thesis to the last gasp in the nlle green book, "The Ills Called Rheu matism."

But when the question of how it can be accomplished la raised, they adjourn again to deep thought. Mr. Roosevelt Is pictured, by those with free access to his Intentions, as being very reluctant about rushing into constitutional changes. He made one speech during the ismpaJgn In dicating he believed his purposes gen erally could be accomplished without an amendment. Furthermore, his sdrlaera agree that, if he Is going into constitu tional chanties, he must strike while the electors i is hot.

When Madrid falls, the end or Spain's communist government will be near. , It may hang on for a while, but the loss of the capital will be the be ginning of the end unless, of course, Russia or France does somttblng spectacular. AFTER all the bloody and brutal fighting In Spain, It would be fine If we could say that some good will come of the victory but from this distance It is hard to see where the good will come from. About all that can happen Is that the people of Spain' will exchange one dictator ship for another. . nnHERE has been much radicalism 1 In Europe. It has thrived on promises of what it will do for Eu rope's ordinary, common sort of peo ple. About all It has done has been to exchange the fairly democratic gov ernment that existed in Europe be fore the great war for dictatorships that are nearly as absolute in their control of the lives and fortunes of ordinary people as were the absolute monarchies of a century and more ago.
