7?mc Marches On
"PORMER PRESIDENT HOOVER hag written an article for
the Atlantic Monthly which reminds ua of the olrl atory
about Calvin Coolidge.
President Cooli'ltfe, as was
his return he was asked to report on the services. Calvin of
course was a man of few words. He said the services were
all right.
This didn't satisfy his questioner, so Mr. Coolidjre whs asked
the subject of the sermon.
'Sin", was the tight-lipped
'What did the minister say
'He said he was AGAINST
llR. HOOVER in his Atlantic article, consumes several thou
"l sand words to say the same thing. He too is against sin,
political sin and comes out strongly for peace, and justice,
law and order, the bill of rights, and the ten commandments.
Ho wants the Republican party to return to its true place as
"the party of historic liberalism" and again battle for its
traditional ideals cf personal liberty and American 'freedom.
XinilCH of course is perfectly all right. But we don't believe
either ei-President Hoover or the Republican party will
ever get very far on that platform. Because with the world
ng it is, such a platform means exactly nothing.
Everyone is against sin, including the Democratic party.
The Democratic party also, is for peace and justice, law and
order, the bill of rights Hnd the ten commandments. The
Republican party to get anywhere must have an issue, and to
have an issue there must be a division, with one party on one
side of the fence, and the other party, on the opposite side.
e
DUT Mr. Hoover can never maneuver the Democrats into
opposition, when he disposes of sin by merely declaring he
is against it. He must come down to cases, abandon his glitter
ing generalities, and clearly define just what he considers evil
and what he considers virtue, when it comes to distinct and
definite national policies. When he does this and not until
he does, he can report progress.
'T'llERE is another thing. In recent years we have heard a
great deal about the Republican party returning to its true
place as "the party of historic liberalism", referring we pre
sume to the fact the Republican
consecrated to the destruction of
That's all right, too, as a bit of effective rhetoric, with an
entirely sound historical basis The party of Lincoln WAS the
party of liberalism, in its youth,
freedom.
But might we suggest to Mr.
"times has changed" since I860.
of liberty and human freedom then are problems no longer.
Whether we like it or don't, we lived in an OTjD world then,
and we are living in a NEW wo-fl now, in many ways a
brand new one which requires a brand new technique.
CO if auy Republican in good standing should ask our advice,
which isn't likely, we would say to forget, what the
Republican party was 75 years ago and make a serious effort
to determine just WHAT it ig today.
Think less about going back to the "good old days" or
anywhere else, and more about going forward to good NEW
ones. '
P0R progress is the law of nature, and neither this country
nor the world is going back, ever. So our suggestion to
Mr. Hoover, and those who feel as he does about a Republican
resurrection, would be to forget glittering generalities, stop
calling up the glories of the
upon the problems of the present and the future.
"T'llERE is, as we see it, pretty general approval of President
Roosevelt's original purposes, and a growing disapproval
of the methods he has adopted to carry them out. The golden
opportunity of the Republicans as the opposing party, lies not
in opposing these purposes, but in their endorsement, and then
offering a better system by which they may be attained, a
system that will threaten neither financial bankruptcy, nor the
abandonment of our fundamental form of democratic government.
IN other words don't waste time trying to go back, devote
all time and energy, to charting out a course, by which this
country can go forward, alons New Deal lines, by a less
hazardous and more satisfactory route.
Of course ther may be no such route. President Roosevelt
may ha doing the best that can be done, under the circum
stances. But this paper happens to be one of his supporters
that doubts it.
In fact during the past few months, we feel, that President
Roosevelt has made a number of serious mistakes, which offer
the Republican parly a golden opportunity.
But if that party follows no better leadership than is pre
sented by President Hoover in this Atlantic- article, then not
only will this golden opportunity be muffed, but the poor old
elephant will meet the fate of the long haired mammoth, and
with other fauna that, have outlived their earthly usefulness,
have to be content with the somswhat questionable glories of a
museum piece.

The work from
which I quote,
by Prof. Elliott P, Joslln, la accepted
as authoritative. What Dr. Joel in
doesn't know about diabetes In chil
dren or adults Is probably not to be
found In any book. But what he
doesn't know about vitamins and
their relation to diabetes Is consider,
able, I think. Prof. Joslln does men
tion vitamins in his monograph,
devoting a whole page or more to
an elementary review of A. B, C, O
and B apparently he hadn't heard
of O away back In 1936. He appears
to think diabetes patient need not
bother their heads about vitamins,
"because of the abundance of cream,
butter, meat and green vegetable
In. routine diet." Yet evidently tne
Professor's mind was not entirely
easy about it, for he adds that
"Nearly nil my children are given
cod-liver oil dally and many take
liver once a week."
Now cod liver oil is not exactly
tempting to the normal child's ap
petite. It seems harsh to Inflict It
on the child with dlabete. in view
of the many other restraints and re
quirements niiph a child must en
dure. Presumably Prof. Jostln's pur
pose Is to Insure an adequate ration
of vitamin D for the child. After all,
the few natural foods that contain
any vitamin D (milk, cream, butter)
do not contain enough for the needs
of a growing Infant or young child,
and It Is today universal practice to
supplement EVERT Infant's diet with
a dally ration of vitamin D In one
form or another, fish liver oil or a
concentrate made from fish liver oil
or a preparation of synthetic vita
min D made by Irradiating ergos
terol with ultraviolet light. Vitamin
D In vitamin D, unit for unit, re
gardless of Its source. Why can't the
diabetic child, then, take hla vita

few drops of Irradiated ergosterol In
neutral oil or In the form of a
tablet or two of Irradiated yeast?
Dr. Joslln cites a case reported by
a colleague. In which the patient.

When winds were nippy, and nights
were cold;
