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.

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.

this division $650,000.
For construction, purchase

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.

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.

Courting like the honey bee.
