Is Secy. Wallace Impractical? IE have always liked Secretary Wallace. We have always " regarded him and still do as one of the best, and in many ways one of the "biggest men in the Roosevelt administration The most common charge against him has been he is im. practical, visionary. We believe it would be more accurate to say he is a man of vision, a PRACTICAL idealist who is true to his ideals. . This quality far from being a liability, is, under conditions which now exist in this country and the world a tremendous asset. Amidst all the prevailing confusion, with the entire world in a condition of flux, we need men of vision, men with ideals, men with a clear eye who can see from the immediate present into the future, and adjust their policies accordingly. This Secretary Wallace does. And if anyone will carefully examine his record and his writings, since he took his place in the present government, that charge of being visionary and impractical, will contract to infinitesimal proportions, if it doesn't ENTIRELY disappear.

(American Medical Journal.) CEC'RETART WALLACE at the height of the depression. J with agriculture tottering toward the abyss, favored reduc tion of acreage and production, and cash benefits for the farmer. He maintained the first thing that had to be done was to take agriculture, supporting one-third of our population' from the red, and put it in the black. This was DONE, and it was the greatest single factor in priming the pump and putting the ship of state upon an even economic keel once more. When the danger bad passed, opponents of the adininistra tion started to belabor the secretary of agriculture because he favored a program of scarcity the plowing in of wheat and cotton, slaughtering little pigs, when there were millions of men. women anr. children, without enough to wear or eat. These critics failed to note two things. First that in a capitalistic society, it isu't what can be pro duced, but what can be produced AT A PROFIT, that is the vital factor. Second that throughout this campaign of scarcity, Secretary Wallace was careful to point out that the program was temporary,' for the immediate emergency alone aud that in the long view, greater production not less was the goal to be reached.

Once start a political catch-word going, and it grows like the proverbial snowball, regardless of the evidence to sustaiu it. However we are convinced, that fair minded and competent observers, agree today, that there was nothing impractical or visionary in Secretary Wallace or in his ' program, in fact entirely the reverse. That program was in the best sense of the term, PRACTICAL idealism, that worked. , Personal Health Service By William Brady, W D.

DEGENERATION IS DETERIORATION few Da Mall Tribune waot Ag, NJOW it tins boon frequently stated, that the Roosevelt ad ministration bus bt?eu aud is today, radically pro labor so fearful of losing votes that it refuses to oppose the most extravagant demands of organized labor iu any way. "Any thing that Jobu L. Lewis asys, goes", etc., eto, "Well the other day Secretary Wallace delivered an address on the general subject of minority political groups, including labor. "We have read nothing recently ou this subject, which impresses us as more pertinent, practical and convincing pre senting a clearer view of the complex situation, and the course that must bo followed, particularly by organized labor, if serious trouble is to be averted, than the following. We quote: "If government helps to tncrentm the piirohMlng power of the underprivileged, It la exceedingly Important that the under privileged, In turn, recognize thoir obligations to eociety. They have a duty which they must pny to the general welfare If their rights are to be realized. "If the underprivileged, if laborers and farmera ask for an Increase In the good things of Ufa, they must be sure that provision li made for increasing the quantity of those good things. It la proper aud sensible to bargain collectively lor a fntr eh a re of a total Income, but tho possibilities of euoceas are brighter when the term of the bargain look toward an In creased, rather than a decreaaed. total Income. "There Is a tendency for organized groups to believe that by exerting preasuro they can get from eociety more than Is there. They havo had enough temporary eucceaa with the use of pressure to be encouraged In tula belief. It la eaay for farmer to feol that wltb the help of government they can get 13 a bushel for their wheat year after year. It la easy for Industrial corporations to foel that through monopolistic tariffs and rigid prices they can rake in exceaslve profits year after year. It is easy for labor to feel that because corporations have frequently aocomulated excessive profits, organised labor has only to put on the screws and obtain, year after year, Increasingly higher wages and shorter hours. "It Is perfectly true that any on group can for t time get a larger share of tht national Income, but It doesn't work when all try It at the same time. Sooner or later the pressure game wlU blow up In our faces fin less we provide a constantly larger national Income to divide up. Tills is really a matter of simple but intensely practical arithmetic. Unless we learn It, our future Is black Indeed. "The heart of Wis problem today In every great nation of the world is to give the government power to serve the general welfare efficiently. In many foreign nations tha need U no great that they have forgotten alt about democracy, tn the United State, we demand above everything that the general welfare be nerved by the strengthening of democracy, not the weakening of It." Secretary Wallace lias as bis permanent ideal, a free democ racy, that can so be adjuster to tbe stresses and strains of a changed economic and .social world that it will WORK. Toward the realization of this ideal, he places increased production, the creation of more wealth, as paramount, a fairer distribution of that wealth to nil the people as vital, but neither can be done, unless all people, workers, artisans, farmers, pro fessional men, business men, industrialists, and what have you, abandon the practice of working for their selfish class interests alone, and unite, to promote the welfare and well being of all. For industry cau't endure without satisfied labor and labor an't endure without profitable industry. Tf that is impractical idealism, then a little more impractical idealism is what this country NKKDSI LADY BOURBON LEADER TO TALK IN PORTLAND PORTLAND. May 31. -(API Mrs. James H.

It took many years of education to make reporters stop using the word "aphasia (which means loss of speech) when they mean am nesla. which means loss of memory, it will take years make them stop using the word "moron" (which moans stupid, feeble - minded) when they mean depraved, vicious.

The great majority of mor ons are good cltlzcna and In propor tion with the general population they commit no more offenses against morals and law than do people of average or better than average In telligence. Degeneration Is deterioration, sink ing from a higher to a lower level, i a pathological change In cells or Ms sues in consequence of which the normal function la Impaired or lost. Physiologically or medically the changes occurring in cella and tissues of the body or tho Individual in the early or incipent stoe of arterios clerosis Is degeneration. If this retrogressive pathological change Is recognized before too much damage has been done, 'it Is possible not only to arrest the procceas but even to reverse it end bring about regeneration and rejuvenation. A man is as old as his arteries; a wo man as old as she looks without make-up. Mortality statistics for several dec ades have seemed to Indicate that, while the Infectious disease have been steadily decreasing in preval ence and tho toll of lives taken- by such disease aud their sequels has gradually declined, tho degenerative diseases, notably cardiovascular de generations (arteriosclerosis, heart disease, apoplexy, angina pectoris, Br 1 glit's disease) hove become rather more prevalent and have disabled and destroyed a larger proportion of tne population. This apparent in crease in the tendency to degenerate may be partly due to more accurate diagnosis today, but not altogether. Jt signifies one Im quite clearly: that Is, public health provisions and sanitary regulations take care of the Infectious diseases, but the degenerative diseases can be prevented only through personal hy glence. Within reasonable limitations it la up to everyone to decide for himself whether he shall spend his youth In wrong living or keep it to lighten the sunset or his years. Al though the older medical authors ascribed early onset of cardiovascu lar degeneration to the inheritance of bad material for the tubing (the arteries) they nevertheless added hat more commonly the premature ag ing results from the bad use of good vessels. Certainly you can't blame grandfather for the alcohol, tobacco, I over-eating, syphilis, lead, repression ui we ngnt-or-nignt emotion, and the strain and stress of your unnat ural mode of life. Prom the purely nhvaical not merely moral) point of view, it is sound medicine to say that the state of a man's arteries Is an Index of his personal hygiene. Cardiovascular degeneration is largely one's own matting, to a majority of men death comes through this portnlto 26 percent of all who die after forty. Don't begin dying yet awhile.
