Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson had hi "New Freedom'.', Franklin Roose velt his "New Deal." The former wag re-elected because "he kept the country out of war." and today the country as a whole regardless of party, is unquestionably behind President Roose velt in his determination to keep this country out of war. President Wilson regardless to compromise on liis League of Nations, opposing so much as the dotting of an "I" or the crossing of a "t". Convinced that while the congress was against him the people of the country were with him, Wilson took a swing around the circle to bring that wilful minority in line, everyone knows. HAD President Roosevelt been willing to compromise on his Supreme Court plan, no one doubts he would have been able to have secured an enlargement of the court by two mem bers at least. But he refined and was beaten. Now he is about to leave for a trip to the western coast presumably to bring his own group of wilful reactionaries in line. So one might go on for quite a spell tracing similarities between the two administrations. BUT in one direction there is hofin from fh nlitnflt. President Wilson had continual trouble with the most im portant member of his official lie started off on the wrong foot by using this office to pay a political debt he begrudged, and as he supposed get rid of the "enfant terrible" of his party, at the same time. Hut William Jennings Bryan leader or be submerged. When his own cherished peace pro gram failed and war became inevitable he resigned. Robert Lansing followed. He but was neither by temperament nor training fitted for the post, and instead of being a help to the president, proved. to be only another burden, for shoulders that were already be ginning to break under the load. So he stepped out to be followed by Bainbridge Colby, a reconstructed Bull Mooser, able, administration's ship had started Mr. Colby was not designed by a rear-action defense, on the losing side. So the office of secretary of ion was distinguished by a succession of failures, tragedies, frustrations and blasted careers, for all the eight years HOW .different the same office in the Roosevelt administra tion l Outside of his own state, and party, Cordell Hull was practically unknown when he was named to the highest cabinet post in the Roosevelt administra tion. Quiet, modest, self-effacing, ongrcssional record behind liini, was one of complete indifference, just another one of those things a political debt paid serving stooge. It is hardly accurate to say sensational he isn't the sensational type of man. But it is entirely accurate to say, that he is the one member of the cabinet and the ONLY one who has steadily grown in stature since the Roosevelt administration began, who in his official capaoity haa never made a false or foolish move; who has had clear cut, definite policy from the outset, and has never werved from it, regardless of broad, and the criticisms of certain sensitive interests at home. AND what is that policy t It nnnlii.fitinn nf wluit. the lntn that the civilized world, must Secretary Hull has been, and rusive, but persistent way, working for world peace. Not by reaching about it, not by urging hat, not by moraliiug on the obvious and acknowledged horrors of war, but by trying in a practical, common sense way to dis cover the causes of war, and remove them. Ho believes the chief causes of gle for markets the natural desire, common to nations as well as individuals, to get ahead in the world, to better their condi tion, above all to escape, suffering, privation and what might be termed economic injustice. nPHKKKKOHK the corner stone of his policy has been inter- national cooperation and interchange in the economic field, reciprocity, trade treaties, not designed to give as much as xissililo to one country, and as o establish trade between them, iiMicficinl basis, in short the good neighbor policy applied to nternational business relationships. 'T'lllS may sound simple and harmless enough but it is neither. It is a most complicate;) and perplexing problem to work out. And as the policy, carried to its logical conclusion, means a complete reversal of this country's protective tariff tradition, nd ABANDONMENT of the belief that the more this country sells, and the less it purchases, the no one can properly apply the Big Business reaction is concerned. KJEVKRTHELESS in the opinion of this newspaper Secretary Hull is (ssentially right. Not only as to his theory of world peace, but his conviction, that when the world war hanged this country from a debtor to a creditor nation, it com- llctcly changed ita status, and avoided, an entirely new economie pp'tcy, must be adopted to it, the new arrangement.

THE NEW ONE Two factors have prevented many thousands of sufferers with diabetes from enjoying the boon of Insulin treatment. First Is the high coat of Insulin, which Is artificially main tsined under the monopoly granted to certain Indi viduals by virtue of patents in the U n it e d States and Canada. This monopoly Is sane tloned by t h o medical profes sion of both countries by some strange distortion of the funda mental principles of medical ethics. You see, the fact that s medical school or university nominally con' trols the manufacture and sale of in sulin and participates in the profits takes the curse off the monopoly. Poor people hftve no business getting diabetes anyway. Diabetes Is a dis ease of the rich, the overnourlshed, the underworked. The second factor which has oper ated to withhold the benefit of, in sulin treatment from a gree.t many diabetes patients Is the onerous ne cessity of reporting two or three times a day to physician or nurse for the dose of insulin; or even the task of preparing and administering the subcutaneous injection to one self. Protamine Insulin is a modified form of Insulin having an effect three or four times the duration of the effect of ordinary Insulin, and hence one dose a day may serve the same purpose as two. three or four doses of ordinary Insulin. Of course protamine Insulin must be Injected hypodermlcally like ordi nary Insulin. Scientific medicine, a field where humanity formerly had eminent domain .under the .present monopolistic trend, is becoming sub sidized medicine, and research or laboratory workers, dependent on sub sidies, grants, foundations or acholsr shlpa donated by commercial inter ests, discover what their owners want discovered, or else. This unfortunate situation perhaps explains why we have not yet discovered a means of getting the effect of Insulin from medicine the patient may take by mouth, Here It may be well to say that it is now thoroughly established by ac tual experience that patients with die bet ra as well as those with poten tial diabetes (which we cag't atop now to explain) usually show a defi nite lowering of the amount of sugar in the urine or a definite improve ment In carbohydrate metabolism when they have received an optimal -QOMclntyre NEW YORK.

Then quickly to bed. New York now has so few beards among artists and writers that they are almost regarded as an oddity. Twenty years ago every newspaper had at least a half down well known chin pieces often among top flight editorial writers, art and dra mattc critics, Benrds also flourished among theatrical publicity men.

Dlabetea patients requiring s certain dose of Insulin dally generally require leas insulin, In some. Instances none, when they have bad the vitamin B ration for a few weeks. Incidentally, some authorities believe our national custom of eating excessive quanti ties or proportions of refined carbo hydrates (sugars, sweets, starches, white breadstuffa, cakes, syrups), together with our fondness for tak ing our recreation sitting on our well,, sitting getting by without do ing any honest work may account for the prevalence of diabetes among the more prosperous middle class and the parasitic rich. I have a dinky little notion that It Is not so much the excess of refined carbohydrate and lack of exercise as It Is the pov erty of such food In vitamin B that makes lor the survival of fittest. . QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS . Bed-Wetting Our children are 3, 6 and 0 years old. Your monograph on bed-wetting enabled us to stop the elder one from wetting the bed, but the second has the opposite condition. I can't get her to void, though I make her drink lots of water. (Mrs. W. C. B.) Answer That Is not necessarily abnormal. It is not opposite either. Perhaps you should pay no attention or. if you think there Is anything wrong, have her examined by your doctor and follow his instructions. Natural Foods Astonished by your statement that all natural foods of man are poor in vitamin D. How can that be, since all such foods are exposed to the sun and the ultra-violet rays of the sun produce vitamin D? (F. W. O.) Answer Ultraviolet rays of the ergosterol In certain foods into vios terol vitamin D. Few natural foods contain enough ergosterol to matter. Harelip Is harelip hereditary? If not, what causes It? Can It be removed in a child or in an adult? (M. L. V. H.) Answer Harelip ts congenital, not hereditary. That is. It may be pres ent at birth, In any family. Cause is unknown. It Is a cleft in the Hp sometimes a cleft also In the palate or the bone of upper Jaw, due to failure to complete development be fore birth. It may be corrected in any case, but the earlier the plastic operation la done the better the cos metic result is likely to be. (Copyright, 1937, John F. Dtlle Co.f bd.

O'Malley was the only reporter I ever knew whose writings became generally known without a by-line, a credit to his rare genius. His stories In the old Sun were never signed, yet every Sun reader was able in stantly to spot the O'Malley touch. He had a style no one could imi tate. And he knew how to interview people In a way that made them tell him things they would tell no one else. Irvtn Cobb once glorified him In a Saturday Evening Post short story called "O Mslley of the Sun." And by that title he was known to newspaper readers ol Raw York of that generation. Com pared to filling a single column to day, his work was prodigious. There was at least one column-and-a-halt story by O'Malley, aside from a halt dozen others ranging from a half to a quarter column.

Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS PRE6IDENT ROOSEVELT forbids American merchant vessels owned by the government to transport arms, ammunition or Implements of war to China or Japan. Why? WeU, If a ship OWNED by the GOVERNMENT OP THE V. 8. should be sunk by the Chinese or the Japan ese the resulting situation would be more serious than If the ship were owned merely by private citizens. BY ALL the rules of war (insofar as any rules are left) sinking of a warship Is a more serious matter than sinking a merchant ship, and vessels owned by the government hare somewhat the status of war ships. THE highway commission of the state of Oregon borrows a. million dollars of short term money at an Interest rate slightly under HAFL.OF ONE PER CENT. Why the low rate? There can be only one answer. Under existing conditions, people are afraid to risk their money In private enterprise, and so are willing to lend it to the state for praotteally nothing. AN OUTFIT calling itself., the American Commutes for Span ish Relief has collected $30,793, of which 125,793, or approximately 83 cents out of each dollar, went for "administration and publicity" that Is to say, for salary and expenses of those doing the collecting. The world Is certainly full of rack ets, these days. Isn't It? SPEAKING of rackets, a couple of fast workers hit Redding the oth er day and started in collecting com missions on "Jobs" with a movie mob acene to be filmed In Trinity county. When they finished up and disap peared, those who had bought Jobs as movie extras were out whatever they had paid. Easy money la easy money, the world over. It's swell for those who take it in and tough on those who put It out. Everybody, of course, who flirts with easy money figures that he will be on the RECEIVING end. Communications Nature's Control To the editor: Replying to the criticism directed against my attitude on birth con trol. It Is my opinion that It should not be hard for any person who Intelligently reads the news of the day Bnd uses his eyes to see what Is continually happening In this world of ours, to form an unbiased conception of exactly where we are at. On one handj we see nations like Germany. Italy. Japan and others, devoting much energy to the prop agation of their species, for the sole purpose of raising enough man power to fight their future battles. And we see that countries like Italy and Japan (for example), in a short time become so clogged with human life that they are compelled to acquire (almost always by war), more territory in which to expsnd further. On the other hand we see nature working tirelessly to keep the pop ulation of the world within a reas onable limit. This ahe does by means of famines, floods, hurricanes, earth quakes, volcanic outbreaks, tidal wares, disastrous epidemics, numer ous kinds of deadly germs, intense cold and heat, poisonous Insects, plants snd reptiles, fire. lightning, dangerous beasts, old age. fatal ac cidents, automobile wrecks, ship wrecks and many other minor aids which reduce by death the fast mounting population of our planet When In aplte of her efforts, Hu manity becomes too dense in certain sections as at present, she win bring on a war, which perhaps I the easiest method of them all. as she has endowed nearly every person at birth with the fighting Instinct Still there are people who cannr,: or will not take note of these mai trs or devoto any attention to then but determinedly persist In pltttn their puny efforts against a fort like nature. One should read what n appeno to the rich nobleman who bargain ed with a smith to shoe his mare at one penny for the first nail, to be doubled with every succeeding nail for the remaining 31. Then compare that with the world's prea ent population and think what woujd happen to ua If nature ailed to keep her hand on the throttle valve. J. C. REYNOLDS. Sept. ia, 1987.

(Continued from Page One) which was backed by Vincent Astor, another close friend of the president, has an Interest in "News Week." The current Issue carries a summary of the story of Mr. Black's connection with the Klan. Is profusely illus trated with documents. Mr. MOley'a paper predicts that the affair will cause so-called liberals to lose confi dence in the president. These are only two straws, ob servers say. that poiut the way which the Ill-wind Is blowing that bodes nobody good, either Mr. Black or President Roosevelt. The gentlemen who are trying to find sinister reasons for the presi dents distaste for the sugar bill, which didn't give Puerto Rico as big a share of the American market as the administration wanted are now whispering that Mr. Ickes was the ax-grlnder for at least one -island refinery. Mr. Ickes, It has been for gotten, runB the tenth largest sugar mill In Puerto Rico, now that he has become head of the Puerto Rico reconstruction administration. The mill and the land belong to this government. The mill was pur chased for (3.500.000 with the Idea of dividing the property and land among a number of cooperatives. Some 2000 Puerto Rlcan farmers would, under this scheme, eventually hold the title. The co-ops have been formed, but they haven't acquired the title, and won't, some pessimists predict, for another two decades or so. The catch la' that the property must be paid for out of the profits. If any. And the 'If la the fact that the Puerto Rico reconstruction administration gets Its interest and expenses before the farmers get theirs. It was a desire to show a good profit this year, friends of the "unholy alliance" (mainland sugar people) insist, that moved Mr. Ickes to battle so valiantly for the Island competitors. The sugar business Is the third ol Mr. Ickes' enterprises, the other two being the Virgin Island rum business and the Puerto Rican cement worka Dieglng Into the dusty files of the war department, somebody has uncovered the record of William F Cody Buffalo Bill. He served as a civilian employe of the quartermaster corps at different times from Octo ber ft, 1868. into 1876. Buffalo Bill worked for as low as $75 a month as a scout near Fort McPherson, Nebraska, and earned as much aa $150 a month as chiet scout with the Fifth cavalry, and as guide for the fourth Infantry on the famous Big Horn expedl tlon. Later he got a flat fee for special Jobs. He was engaged for the deli cate task of arresting Sitting Bull. But no record of this service can be found. Mr. Roosevelt'a sudden and secret choice of Mr. Black almost without consultation brines up again the question of the presidential advisers or lack of them. One seasoned ob server of several administrations put It this way: "Trilby lost her Svengall, Al Smith lost his Mrs. Moskowlts, and Franklin Roosevelt might well profit by their experience and look for another Louis Howe." finod rranherry Crop.
