MEDFORD. 0t1o(fi)Hffespiii A Most Remarkable Man JUST what niche President Roosevelt will occupy in history, won't be known for at least fifty years. But this much is certain. He is the most RE MARKABLE man to occupy the White House in this generation. In fact, no President can approach him in the direction of sheer brilliance and virtuosity, since his distant cousin Theodore wielded his big stick on the malefactors of great wealth three decades ago. "TAKE that speech the President delivered before the Jackson Day dinner in Washington last night, for example. Could anything have been gayer, more insouciant, more genuinely amusing, and yet has the non-partisan position of disinterested and patriotic statesmanship ever been more clearly and convincingly stated? And this from the man who has delivered some of the most effective and scathing' PARTISAN ap peals in the history of modern politics! A GREE with F.D.R. or disagree with him, like him "or dislike him, no fair-minded and discriminating observer of the present political period can as we see it deny his preeminence as far as both the superi ority and variety of his attainments are concerned. How his permanent contributions to his country and the world will be appraised only history can tell. But as he nears the close of his active public life few indeed will question that from 1933 to 1940 the peo ple of the United States had a very extraordinary, a very distinguished and a most remarkable individual in the White House ! Down the M. Ts. Alley IT is almost superfluous to add that this department never more thoroughly enjoyed a speech by the President than the one delivered last night. For in addition to its wit and good humor always most welcome in partisan affairs of this sort the theme song of political independence and non-partisanship was something this column has. not only preached, but practiced, for lo, these many, many years. AS the president declared, the party system is neces "sary, a strong two-party system the democratic ideal; but when all is said and done party is a MEANS, not an end, and when partisanship is placed above principle, the welfare of the country, which is, or should be the ultimate aim of all political activity, seriously suffers. Because this fact is becoming more and more ap parent to the American people as a whole, partisan voting is steadily declining, and independent voting is on the increase, the President noting a steady rise ever since he entered public life, in the latter direction. UOW TRUE THIS IS! And while the old party wheel-horses faunch and fume over those who refuse to stand meekly hitched, the fact becomes clearer and clearer, as the President pointed out, that NOT they, but the independent voters determine which party shall,' or shall not, con duct the affairs of this government. And the party that forgets this important fact, and makes no effort to win the confidence and support of those who always place the welfare of their country or community above that of ANY party, invariably goes down to defeat. MEEDLESS to say, it was "a grand and glorious feeling" for this column to have such a supporter as President Roosevelt for its pet hobby the dignity and desirability of independent political thinking and independent political voting. No Third Term A LL the hot-stove dopesters are trying to find some hidden clues to the President's third term inten tions in the Jackson Day speech. Awaiting their final report, we see nothing, hid den or revealed, to alter the report the present writer received when he visited Washington in October, namely, That President Roosevelt has, to his intimate friends, made no secret of the fact, for many months, that he doesn't WANT to run, And doesn't INTEND to, unless he must in order to prevent what he would regard as both a party and public calamity, to-wit: The leadership of the Democratic party being taken over by the enemies of the New Deal. In other words, if President Roosevelt can secure the nomination of a Democratic candidate, in whom he believes, he will not only retire from active public life, but be supremely glad to do so. Many Rooseveltphobiacs will scoff at this, of course, as they revive the spectre of a Roosevelt dic tatorship, and a consuming lust for power that only the overturning of the third term tradition will satisfy, But the skipper of this column, at least, believes it. We don't say President Roosevelt will not run for a third term. We do say he honestly doesn't want to, and only the certainty of an Old Deal candidate for his party will force him to. Which adds up to this: President Roosevelt will not be a third term candi- I date if he can choose the And we fail to see any POSSIBLE chance of pre venting the President from doing this, if he wishes to.

CALL 8IGN Stainless alloys of cobalt, chromium, iron or steel, recent ly Introduced for bridgework (these alloys have various trade names) have attained wide po pularity because they are inex pensive com pared with gold and porc elain and they do not take on stains in the mouth. But in some instances these stainless metals react with gold fil lings, crowns, inlays already present to set up a galvanic current which causes the sore patches. Many correspondents have written me in this vein con cerning galvanic sore mouth: Dear Sir: Your article about galvanic sore mouth Indicates that you do not understand galvanic action ... It is absolutely necessary that the two dis similar metals be In contact in the mouth in order to set up galvanic action. There is no possibility of any current or any galvanic effect at all from gold and some inferior metal if the dissimilar metals are not so placed that they actually contact each other . . (W. B. C.) But that assumption fails to stand when the question is put to actual test, as in the follow ing experiment: Dear Doctor: . . . the following experi ment demonstrates conclusive ly that electric currents can be produced by the presence in the mouth of the noble metals such as gold, platinum, silver (negative) and inferior metals such as zinc, iron, tin, chromium (positive). Take any two dissimilar metals, say a silver dime and an ordinary Iron wire nail, place them In a pool of saliva, close togeth er but not touching. Connect the terminals of an ordinary O-l milliameter, such as that commonly used in radio work, to the two pieces of metal, and a substantial cur rent will be registered, often as much as 700 or 800 micro amperes, which is certainly enough to produce electrolys is. (R. K. W. AT THE National Capitol WITH John W. Kelly I Continued Iron, Pae One) to pay them $1,693,000 is re quested. Error was due to the fact that Bonneville items are scattered through the book like plums in a fruit cake. For instance: For the army engineers for the power plant at the dam is an item of $800,000 of which $562,200 is for machinery and $69,895 for salaries and of this sum $66,000 is for civilian sal aries. For operation and mainten ance of the distributing system there are 214 jobs requiring $514,210, but with temporary workers in the field this divis ion wants $553,315 for person nel (Administrator Raver, et al). For odds and ends another $100,000 is tossed in. Total for this division $650,000. For construction, purchase and improvements of transmis sion lines, sub-stations, rights-of-way, etc., $9,018,418. For this division (net permanent in the field) jobs for 485 are itemized with a payroll of $962,770. In addition an unlisted number of "temporary" employes in the field require $176,920. Add them up and there are 700 jobs actually listed, an un specified number of "tempor ary" employes and the grand total payroll Is $1,693,000. TO visualise this payroll, rigure how many hours It would re quire for the TOO to pass a given point with one passing each SO sec onds. Here la something else. For con struction, purchase, etc.. the budget says 9 018.418. but the president says S.OOO.OOO Is enough tor the budget. To get down to the six mil lions and still have the full sum. then, is transferred to "salaries and expense, land division, department of Justice. ag.oiMia." This Juggle from Bonneville to the department of Justice Is possible from appro priation of 1939 and 1940 which are avallsbls for 1941. It Is finan cial slelght-of-hand. The president says six million are enough and al lows nine million dollars. (See pae JOS budget estimates 1941). BY tapping the kitty of the de ment of Justlre. p.m the bud," item ot $4,000,000 the bud- Brady, M. D. OR GALVANI The foremost authorities on the subject of galvanic sore mouth are Everett S. Lain, M. D. and G. Sherri.'l Caughron, D. D. S., Oklahoma City. They have found that the heat gener ated by such galvanic current in the mouth Is sufficient to destroy tissue or produce a burn, and that tooth enamel has the highest resistance to this current flow (18,900 ohms), the mucous membrane lining the cheek next highest (2,300 ohms). the tongue the least resistance of all (960 ohms). Probably many Individuals suffer no unpleasant effect from such galvanic current in the mouth from dissimilar metals, thanks to the alkalinity or weak acidity of their saliva. Drs. Lain and Caughron sug gest that before a diagnosis of electro-galvanic injury is made, and removal or replacement of tne inferior metal undertaken, the physician should try to elim inate the possibility of certain fungus or Vincent's infections, or herpes, or syphilis, or smok er's patches.

APPROVES AID TRI WASHINGTON. Jan. 9 AP! George Creel, United States commissioner to the San Fran cisco world's fair, said today President Rooevelt had ap proved an appropriation of S2!S0.000 for rehabilitating and refurnishing the fair so it might be reopened this year. Creel said, after a White Hoiue call, thnt Mr. Roosevelt also had approved. In principle, an additional $250,000 for Pan American participation in the fair. He spoke of the possibility of bringing the presidents of other American nations to the fair. The federal government origi nally appropriated $1,500,000 for participation in the fair. In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS "THOMAS F. Hawkins, Associ- ated Press correspondent with the Finnish armies, passing on the report that Russia is massing men and munitions for another attack on the Manner heim line, adds that foreign mil itary observers consider the Finn's defenses impregnable as long as winter lasts. IF that is true, Stalin chose the wrong time for his attack on Finland. Great leaders don't make such mistakes. Avoidance of costly mistakes is what makes leaders great. Conclusion: Stalin is to be feared not be cause of his brains but because of the vastness of the resources he commands. Resources with out brains seldom get far. (It is a fair guess that the time may come when Stalin will regret his destruction of Russian brains by Russian firing squads). t GERMANY, dispatches inform us, refuses to permit Italian planes destined for Finland to pass through the reich. Russia, the Germans explain, would ob ject violently to the giving of such permission, and so it can't be done. That is interesting -for two reasons: 1. It confirms the sending of Italian planes to Finland. (Ru mor adds that these Italian planes will be flown against the Russians by Italian "volun teers.") 2. It indicates that Germany is taking orders from Russia. . 1 IT MUST be humiliating for TTltlpr whn nnlv n ffw months ago was the world's No. 1 gangster, to be taking orders meekly from Stalin, whom in his "Mein Kampf" days he af fected to despise. 1 A NOTHER interesting d 1 s patch: Hungary and Italy are report ed to have agreed upon a de fensive military alliance guar anteeing Hungary Italian mili tary support against any invas ion by Germany or Russia. What Hitler did, you see, when he made his famous agree ment with Russia, was to swap Mussolini as an ally for Stalin. There must have been many times when he has regretted the swap. RIUSSOLINI, apparently, is saying to Stalin: "Keep out of the Balkans. The Balkans are my back yard."

Ye Poets Comer The Rule of The Road The first rule of safety when driving a car, Is common politeness wherever you are. Don't cut in and out, or zig zag you way Or elbow along as much as to say, "This is MY road, all others look out, Just, scramble for safety when I'm driving about". If a blockade occurs on a busy cross street, And traffic piles up till con fusion's complete, Don't just press on your horn and holler and shout, For the guy up ahead will soon let you out. Remember, that others are pas sing that way, So try, just for once, something pleasant to say. And also recall that strict traf fic rules, Were forced in effect to pro tect us from fools. Who always speed in where the wise fear to go. You'll get somewhere faster by driving more slow. And whether you're wrong or wether you're right. There's no call at all for not being polite. Be ever alert when you're driv ing along That always beside you the hur rying throng Is anxious to move just as swiftly as you, Why not give them a chance and let them get through. A touch of politeness will light en the load. Let the rule of the home be the rule of the road. Ray W. Lockard. "Puppy Love" The trouble with her, let me tell. Daughter' cetched a cranky spell.
