The Air Circus andF. D. R. PVERYTHING that goes higher they go the harde they fall. Por a number of years, the people of this country have wit nessed the sensational ascent of President Roosevelt, to the highest point ef personal popularity ever attained, by an occu pant of the Whit Bouse. Now they are witnessing the inevitable descent. It is bring ing joy to the heart of his enemies, sorrow to the hearts of his friends. But joy or sorrow the emotional reactions will have no effect upon the result. IITHAT that result will be, whether it will be fatal crash, or merely painful shock, beneficent to the victim in its final consequenoes, depends as we see it, solely upon the President himself. 1 For he is alone up there In w all, to the fores of gravity, the balloon or the balloon has fers) and nothing now can PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is too well informed and intelli tTPnf a man in im sithan oimnpiBaJ A t,nntrJ . k!

It Is reasonable to assume, that no one knew better than he, that the phenomenal popularity he enjoyed could not last. In the entire political history Sooner or later that upward curve is matched by a downward one, action and reaction are alike. This is a law, not only in the realm of nature but in politics. So psychologically at least This turn in the tide of personal popularity could not have taken him unawares. But as he descends from the clouds toward the too solid-earth, his friends are filled with conster nation. They know he has a parachute. But as they watch that precipitous descent, they can detect no sign of an effort to pull the cord that opens it. IITHAT'S happened! What's wrong? Has the President " lost his head or is there something tragically amiss with bis equipment! That parachute might be labelled the Supreme Court plan. But the label is onjy hanging would sever that thread, and as meted to earth even faster, by the the President would soar down to a strong and serviceable "life Of course the simile is not perfect, but in view of the recent air eircus here, it perhaps will TTHAT drop had to eome, the descent to earth sooner or later hflH In ria mnrlA T line nlwatra Vtaan 4-Vina Aa Innn am AMni. racy endure It alway will be. Prom the time the people o Greece, turned against thtir popular idol, because they tired of hearing him called "Th Just", down to Woodrow Wilson and F. D . R., that pendulum of personal popularity has swung from one extreme to the other, and only "sudden death" has been able to prevent it. But that the descent be a tragedy, fatal alike to the popular leader and his principle, ha not alway been true. In fact it has been the exception. . . . . ' OUT that is the fear that grips the hearts of the President's " friends today, as they gaze skyward, following the an nouncement from th White House, that the fight for the Supreme Court packing plan, must and will go on I To them that arouses tho fear the parachute will never open. And with that is the realization that if President Roosevelt persists In his present course and crashes, his program and all it represents, crashes with him. And that program is the important thing. Not what hap pens to Roosevelt, but what happens to the political philosophy he represents, is the factor that may well determine the future fate of this country and everyone in it. Roosevelt could go smash, his program survive and go on, under different leadership, there would be no particular cause for such alarm a is aroimed by the present spectacle in the heavens. Kor when the welfare of a nation is at stake, what happens or doesn't happen to any individual is of no real concern. But unfortunately that can't be done. It never has been done in a democraay, it never will be. If Roonevtlt goes down aa a leader, his program , will go down with him. There will he not only put another party in the destruction of his program. "piIAT would pleas plenty of entirely respectable citizens. . But it wouldn't please this paper. Such an outcome to our mind, would bt a calamity. And it is that calamity we see unfolding before our eyes, with no power to avert, that at the present moment, is canning us, and we believe thousands of others like us, such anguish and concern. 11THT doesn't the President see it! Why doesn't h pull that rip-eord, abandon hia conrt plan, accept defeat in one field, where victory can only injure him so that he may win in th larger and more important one. We find no particular consolation in the fact that if he crashes it will be his fault, hs will hav only himself to blame. That would give certain of his critic the pleasure of aymjj "we told you so" but it would do nothing to prevent th destruction of hi program. And that, as before stated, I the all important thing. It is not what persistence in this effort to pack the Supreme Court, will do to the President; but to hi effort to bring about a new deal in this country a new one and NEEDED one, that is this paper's concern, and should be the concern of all who believe in hi program. j fH welll Abont two weeks ago, that gal at the air eircus, 1 dropped close to half a mile, toward what, looked like ' sudden death, before she yanked the cord and her parachute j opened.

This is the one vitamin that cannot be obtained In sufficient amount from natural foods. Practically the only natural foods that provide any con slderable amount of vitamin D are egg yolk and milk fat (milk, cream, butter) and salmon and some other sea fish, both fresh and canned. Cer tain young growing green vegetables or fodder, such aa alfalfa, hay, clover, spinach, probably contain small amounts of vitamin O but not enough to count in human nutrl tlon.

Its purpose ws to prsserve ths herd of wild antelope ranging in the Hart Mountain country. This herd was estimated at from 5.0OO to 10.- 000 animals. It Is probable that the smaller number waa more accurate than the larger. Th objective was to make the Hart Mountain country Into a great game reserve dedicated perpetually to the protection of wild life. rIAT objective hat been realized. The Hart Mountain country was already largely public land, but in cluded In It were large areas of deed ed land. Practically all this deed land has now been acquired by the gov ernment, and placed under the eon. trol'of the biological survey. Some 370,000 acres art now In the reserve. IT WASN'T all clesr tailing. The stockmen hsd rights, and they VALUED these rights. But the dif ference have been Ironed out, and tbt stockmen are cooperating In the wild lift project. Ho evidences of 111 will are apparent on the surface. It looks aa if an. ld.il had been real ised. THB Hart Mountain country It a Ttat txpane, of sage brush hills lying to the east ef the Warner rim.

Moun tain, where snow lies through most of the summer, sparkling streams trickle down, and In the canyons where these streams run are aspens, and beneath the aspens Is grsst ot a greenness nothing short of start ling. And in tht wider vslleyt are flowers of an Infinite variety. . Th Hart Mountain country la a country to charm the heart out ef a man who lovea the great outdoors. STANLEY Jewett, of the biological survey, said to hia fellow mem bers of the order the other night that antelope are now more num erous In the Hart Mountain country than In the early days. Sage hens, almost extinct only a few years ago, are beginning to ap pear again. The mul deer ara mul tiplying. One party counted upwards of 40 on Sunday on the mountain.

Roads are not to bs encouraged. There will be no hotels. If you go there, you must put some of your own labor Into the going. When you get there, you must slsep under the stars. If you don't like that aort of thing STAY AWAY for you will be out of place. But If your pulse qulckena at the tangy scent of sage In the hot sun and your breath comet faster at the horizons sweep backward Into th dim, hazy distance, you'll love the Hart Mountain country and ones you've seen It you'll never more be free of the yearning to go back and see it again. iJiuds Cardinal's Speerli. 0A6TBL GANDOLPO, July 19 (AP) Pope Plus today warmly commended George Cardinal Mundeleln of Chi. cago, whom the German government recently demanded be reprimanded for a apeech criticizing the Nazi re gims.
