Hugh Johnson, Columnist ENERAL HUGH JOHNSON ig nothing if not an oppor tunigt. Which it only mother way of laying he ia an excellent political columnist, for to make a aucceaa of a political column, one muat be an opportunist, if one ezpeota to hold hia job. Not owning any of hia newspapers, he can't say what he thinks, and let his circulation manager, do the worrying. If he persists in going against the tide instead of riding with it, be soon finds himself, with a growing list of dissatisfied and dis gruntled clients, interspersed sooner or later usually sooner, tract. KTONB of this Don Quixote stuff for General Hugh. He may fight a windmill or two, windmills, he wastes no time poker and grabbing the cool one. When President Roosevelt Court plan for example, H. J. found he waa not only out on a to beat a retreat to terra firma for the dust. In fact the General ia so fast in hia changes of front, and ia so vigorous and uncompromising, in every new position he takes, that many has been any flip flop, at all, up with the general's scorching dialectics. SOME of them do however, particularly the more ardent and less discriminating Roosevelt supporters. And recently they have been hopping old "iron pants" for being a traitor and a turncoat. They point to, of F.D.R.'s most fulsome idolitors, and now he is one of his most caustic and unrelenting critics. They don't like it and accuse General Hugh of treachery and politics. With characteristic gusto the General switches his verbal "flame gun" on the recalcitrants, and dares them to present any proof for such libelous and mendacious statements. POLITICS f . He only asked the present administration for one job, and declined that before it was refused. He has made so many enemies in the higher political brackets, he couldn't be elected dog catcher, never deserted Roosevelt, but Roosevelt deserted him, and he proceeds to give hia view of the original New Deal, to prove it. Moreover he likea thie job of being a political columnist, intends to keep at it as long aa be lives if he can, and one might add parenthetically, that as long aa he continues his present course, he can, for the aine qua non of a successful columnist, is not to mold public opinion, but to follow and sympathetically interpret it. A ND aa publio opinion has changed Hugh Johnson has changed. We don't mean public opinion in the mass necessarily, but public opinion in the literate and articulate sense, which is the only public opinion with which a columnist need be concerned, for he only the NEWSPAPER reading And th ia "public" did oppose it has changed rapidly during pro-Roosevelt, to an extremely ANTI Roosevelt position. A ND there too the redoubtable general stands, just where he should be, if he wishes to please his paying oustoiuers and hold hia job. It isn't treason or treachery a good columnist and being SMART. The columnist depending upon a large number of metropolitan papers for his bread and butter, either must keep his ear fairly close to the ground, or sooner or later, he is thrown out ON it. If we had to establish our case, we would only need to call in Heywood Broun, Stanley High and "Pop Off" Franklin to prove it. Love may make the world go round, but. it's money that makes the syndicated columnist click, for the number out cash money week by week, can be counted on the fingers of SO while we don't join with "turn enat" w An recArrl good one only exceeding in degree, rather than character, other distinguished members of the craft. KJOT that he ia intellectually dishonest, or insincere. That ' isn't the point. We don't feel General Johnson hss ever written anything he DOESN'T believe he waa once a strong Roosevelt supporter, now he is a severe critic, well there are many private citizens, who have undergone a similar metamor phosia. What we do believe is, that General Johnson is naturally of the intense mercnrisl type, regarding what IS popular and what ISN'T. Re isn't a person of atrong convictions, though whatever convictions he hss, he expresses in a STRONG way. He is never going to be the martyr of any holy cause, he is going to be its ardent advocate as long as it isn't "LOST." WHEN the going gets really in ha somewhere else We haven't the space to go into General Johnson 'a past, to bring up evidence to sustain this contention, but there is quite an interesting supply of it, particularly if one could have access to the private files of Barney Barnch. Only last Friday for example, General Johnson tore the everlasting hide off those who would play the stock msrket, and wrote one of the most effective lectures against Wall Street gambling we have ever read. That's a very popular theme TODAY, with five or six billions lost, in the last few months, snd the public OUT of the market. It wasn't so popular, the first of the year, with stocks soaring and the public IN. And then when it might have done some good. General Hugh had nothing to say about it. Well THAT'S General Hugh Johnson. Thst's what we mean by terming him an out and out opportunist. That 'a why he's auch a successful columnist and promises to continue to be.

This concept of "colitis" Is prob ably a hundred times as prevalent among wlsacres a actual Inflam mation of the colon is among the general population. The obsession la Inculcated In the physlology-lgnorsnt by charlatans who have nostrums, freak diets and peculiar treatments to sell. Among the vegarlet the physlology lgnorsnt learn from their Instructors the charlatAns ia the notion that certain foods are bad for one because they are "mucus-forming." Thla ab surd notion belongs In the category with the quaint prohibition against eating friend foods, starches, greasy things or fats, nitrogenous material of animal origin or dark meat, cane sugsr or, well, anything one would naturally eat. There Is Just as much foundation for these queer fancies as there wss for denying a feverish child or adult the comfort and aid of all the oold water he might want.

Hpare The Christmas Tree To the Editor: I see in your paper of recent date, the Rogue River national forest have sold more than 8,000 Christmas trees to Ban Fnmclaoo Interest. Since when have the forest service decided to sell the little tree from the national forest? And where are they going to get the trees? I hear they are being cut from thickets, that Is where the little trees 'axe too thick to grow int mer chantable timber: Christmas trees simply don't grow In thickets, espe cially ss perfect trees as decorated the streets of Medford last Christmas. The first class lumber we get today did not come from trees that were thinly scattered, when they were little trees. When we want power poles. 40 to t50 feet with no limbs, we go into where wa once a thicket. Trees must be crowded when young. It forces them to shed the limbs and to grow up Instead of spread out as do shade trees. Now folks. If you want to raise a mesa of knots for the coming gen erations, by all means thin out the little trees, but if you want tall timber, clear of knots, thicken up the thin patches and don't disturb the thickets. Let nature do th thinning. It has done a good Job In the past and is capable of doing as good a Job in the future. Here ts hoping no more Christmas, or little trees for any purpose, are sold from our national forests. M. L. MEADOWS October 18 Rt. 1. Medford Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THROUGHOUT the nation, It Is estimated that about 30 per cent of automobile travel Is at night. But 8IXT PER CENT of the fatal accidents occur during the hours of darkness. THE lesson Is as plain as a lesson csn be. If you went to keep a whole skin. SLOW DOWN a night begins to fall. IP you are going to drive fast and KEEP ON LIVING, you must be able to see far enough ahead to stop your car within the range of your vision. Darkness snd approaching head lights CUT DOWN the range of your vision. So (if you want to stay alive) you must do the next best thing and cut down the speed of your ear so that you can stop within th shorter range of night vision. A UTOMOBILE manufacturers are A, doing what they can to reduce the glare of approaching headlights. although aa yet their effort are far from successful. But night Is still night, and the figures quoted at the head of this column Indicate thst for drivers of tutomoblle night 1 a time of danger. The danger can be tremendously reduced by REDUCED SPEED. OOOD drivers Insist that they are Just ta safe at reasonably high speed as at lower speedt. But the figures tell a different story. In accident at speed up to 30 miles per hour, only one accident out of etch 1 It fstsl But at speeds of 80 miles snd more per hour ONI ACCIDENT IN SACH ELEVEN Is fatal. These figures tell their own ttory. IT Is probsbly true that good drivers on open, straight roads, with good visibility, are reasonablllty, are rea- vtslblllty, are ressonsbly safe, so far a THEY THEMSELVES are con cerned, at fairly high speeds. But there Is always the poor driver to consider. And the poor driver, who doet the wrong thing In an emergency, may kill not only himself but may smash Into the good driver snd kill him also. If ycAi ar going to dnvt safely, the other rellow must always be con sidered. Kern and Klnhe Luw HOOD RIVER.

Baukhage Copyright 1937, by The North American News paper Alliance, Inc. (Continued from Page One) . No wonder It takes a steady nerve and a lot of It to balance . the budget I For In stance: On psge A-91 of the presidents budget messsge for the flscsl year 1838, there Is this little ltm:. ' "Federal surplus commodities cor poration "Under the provision of section of the act of congress of June M. 19396 (public No. 739, 74tn., con gress), the authority for this cor poration to operate expires on June 30th, 1837. Accordingly, no estimate In transmitted for 1938." But, despite this glib statement of the demise of - the organization which was organized to buy surplus agricultural commodities for distri bution to state relief agencies. It has refused to die. Probably the papers of June i failed to note. In the rush, that a little 27-llne bill was passed ex tending the life of this organiza tion. But while It still Indulges in huge purchasing of butter and eggs and prunes and cheese, and fish and even great btg apples, the cor poration has considerably changed Its color. Under the original act. It wa financed by funds contributed by state relief agencies. Now It is fi nanced by funds specially set aside for this purpose by Secretary Wal lace. Originally, the sole purpose of Its purchases was to feed hungry mouths. Now, Its. main purpose, ac cording to AAA .officials, la to sta bilize the market for agricultural products ns a part of the triple A farm relief economy. The state re lief organizations are merely . the convenient outlet for the surplus products, whatever they may ne, pecans, grapefruit, raisins, onions or potatoes. Right now it's the big apple crop that la threatening to upset the market, and so the corporation is buying apples. Tomorrow. Unci Sam may be the nation's number one butter-and-egg man. In 1937, the budget esttmatea three million dollars for the surplus commoditie. corporation. As we mentioned, since the budgeteers thought It waa dead in 1938, there was' no estimate. But' the PS.CU. is rolling right along, at how much a month inquiry doesn't reveal. The ways odds are running now at the fashionable Burning Tree golf club near Washington. It looks a if a valuable gift from the mtk- ado ambassador might soon rest on a White House mantelpiece.

All the prizes are' handsome and valusble a beautiful silver trophy, a set of gold studs and links, a watch. It Is whispered that the golfers are hurrying the tournament lest some untoward event in the diplo matic. world occur before the prizes are distributed. It would be a pain ful experience for a member of the official White House family to be caught carrying a silver urn along Pennsylvania avenue marked "made tn Japan" If the United States had suddenly declared a boycott on "ag gressor" nations.
