Delegates to the democratic convention early today, voted a third term, in violation of Amer ican traditions, to the White House incumbent, and, for themselves four years mora as postmaster, or whatever posi tion they now have at the fed eral pie-counter. They were not thinking of the nation, or the once-great political party, but their place on the payroll. When they hysterically boondoogled, cheered unders orders from their brazen masters, and show ed all the sterling qualities of a rubberstamp, or a hunk of put ty, when it came to honesty in thinking. The convention start ed as a fizzle, and finished as farce, and the wrath of the people, for their weakness, and the ambitious impudence of their choice, will be upon them In November. ...

CORRALLING A RUMOR "The reporter scurried from one person to another as he was told 'm and so told me.' but never could he get a finger on the drowned man. One of the local ambulances was sup posed to have been called, but so far as the two funeral homes knew neither ambulance had left the garage. The boy that was supposed to have been drowned was riding his bicycle on the streets most of the dav. But the calls came In to the Chronicle office, the funeral homes, the city hall and other places. So If any of you were drowned Saturday, wish you would call in so we could tell the people about It." (Canby. Kan., Chronicle).

Editorial Correspondence Chicago, July 16. "One-Eyed" Connolly must be slipping. He and hi navy-blue beret erashed the gate at the convention last night, after a great deal of maneuvering. Why anyone should try to crash the gate at THIS convention passeth all understanding. It's different with tha press that is paid to attend, and those who have tickets and feel an obligation to use them. But no such obligation rested on the heavy shoulders of "One-Eyed," he could have stayed in the bar and had good time, instead of going to all that work and trouble to hear Speaker Bankhead deliver his keynote, in the most devout Alabama camp-meeting style. Perhaps "One-Eyed" thought it was going to be TAL.LULAHI Moreover, while the crowd was better than in the afternoon, there were scores of vacant seats, and tha ushers were not all averse to seeing them occupied. In fact an official ukase has gone out, instructing those who have tickets but don't intend to use them, to deliver same to the Democratic headquarters on the 4th floor of the Stevens hotel, to the auditorium can be filled at any and all times. For this lack of interest, of cou.-.s, President Roosevelt can be blamed. We sympathized with the President for not showing his hand several months ago when to do so would have weakened his position with his party, and the world, but there ia no such excuse today. If ever a convention was killed by its nominee, that is true about this one, and we fear it's never going to be revived now, no matter what ia done. (Unless, of course, the President should decide to commit party hari-kari and at this lata date refuse to run !) From the riewg standpoint there ia only one redeeming fea ture, nothing like it hat happened before, and very likely will never happen again. The nearest approach to it goes back to another Roosevelt, the late T. R., when in this same city he chose to jump on the Bull Moose band wagon. That, too, was a one-man convention, nothing being said and nothing being done without Teddy's first okaying it. But Teddy was here in Chicago, and that fact alone gave life and color to the proceedings. These goings-on, however, are by remote control. There was plenty of hocus pocus and show window camouflage at Phila delphia, when the real work was being done in various and sundry hotel conference rooms, hocus-pocus and show-window. There is nothing but make believe and mumbo-jumbo out at the convention hall. The band blares, the organ peals, there are a few cheers and some scattering applause, but it fools no one. Everyone knows, or think they know which amounts to the same thing, that it's an cut ana cinea, that at the proper psychological moment the signal will be given and F.D.R. also know he will choose his running mate and write the platform. If Roosevelt were here, and ment appear, there would be a nere ana no one expects him. All he has here are three or manipulated from Washington on various levers, wires and strings, Ickes, Hopkins, Farley, Barkley, et al, the whole performance as lacking in spark and life and vitality as a punch ana juuy snow. So on this, the second day, it's even more a "wash-out" than on Day No. 1, scalpers tickets to the Big Show have de clined from ten dollars per to a dime! e The usual reception to the press was held last night, the only UNustml feature being that the bartenders also got plastered, and the donkey frozen in the cake of ice melted down to a sacred cow. Oh, yes, the turkey that looked so inviting proved to be only papier mache, which isn't particularly adapted to one-handed carving! (Lest friends, relatives and subscribers become alarmed, let the undersigned hasten to add this is en tirely hearsay, ye editor did not go.) The visiting delegates are finding considerable consolation in the fact that the Cubs are playing the Giants, and Al Jolson opened with Ruby Keoler last night in a new show entitled Jiang Onto lour Hat which, report isn t bad, or isn't so good either. No, Al and Ruby have not become reconciled, they sav. Here ia a striking and perhaps a significant feature: no one as yet has instructed the Here Again, which at the. two was the theme song. Perhaps it the close of the show, in a final things, but we doubt it. For nothing could be more visiting delegates are concerned, happy days ARE NOT here here again. And unless we are much mistaken this goes for the entire Democratic party, from the President down. Yes. aa we see it. here is a all signs fail this convention is going to end in practically every one doing what they don't want to do, but because of certain fundamental forces at work, which can t be resisted, are going to do. For example. President Roosevelt really doesn t want to run for a third term, and personally would feel like a liberated soul if he could get out of it. Hut he feels it his duty to his party to run. for if he refused he would be letting the party down that had so greatly honored him. That can't be done. The same way with the delegates. at least most of them. Certainly with those whose jobs don't depend upon the con tinuation of the Democratic regime. They don't like a third term and don't want one. But they are convinced that if they don't try for that they won't get any term at all, and they prefer any outcome to that. So with many a wry grimace, and secret revulsion, they are preparing to swallow the third term dose and like it, for they are convinced that President Roosevelt is the only man in the party who can beat Wendell Willkiel There is a lot of loud talk about the world crisis and the need of not changing horses in the middle of the stream, but it's only talk. sales talk, and rationalizing the party's serious dilemma (.iet any delegate alone and he will admit lie doesn't like the idea of a third term, but he prefers that to Democratic defeat and Republican victory in November. So small wonder that this is a convention. to date, at least, completely and entirely without even a suggestion of spontaneous enthusiasm. Incidentally they have an escalator leading up to the plat form, all ready to go. if and when the President DOF.S come.

I proposed the term "Dentor," not In place of "Doctor" to distinguish the prac tioner of dentistry from the practitioner ol mediclnt. I have never addressed a prac titioner of dentistry as "Den tor." Of course "Doctor" is the polite title for any man or wom an who has a doctorite degree. I have always endeavored to Impress upon the public the importance of dentistry in every body's hygiene, care and main tenance of health, prevention of disease. For example, some years ago the title of my health talk was "The Dentist. Dispen ser of Health," and described the case of a man who suffered with digestive disturbance which bothered him more and more until his health became rerious ly undermined. He had vari ous laboratory tests, x-ray stu dies, blood counts, in fact the works, which threw no light dental practitioner, finding the dental practitioner, findnig the patient's mouth in bad condi tion, urged him to have some septic stumps extracted. The patient consented, the dentist extracted the infected stumps, and presently the stomach ceas ed bothering the men and he recovered a fair appetite and began to gain weight and lived happily for years afterward. As an indication of the great value of dentistry in building, maintaining and restoring health, I state as a sound max im the following: "For every tooth lost and not Immediately replaced by a func tionally efficient denture (that is, bridge, crown, or other arti ficial tooth or application to carry on mastication), deduct from one to two years from your life expectancy.

Hopkins had been slated for the presi dential nomination with the backing of Mr. Roosevelt. To brin this about, Hopkins, who had been a social worker in New York for years before handling CWA (boondoggling) and WTA. was sent to Iowa to establish a residence and iden tify himself with the people he knew before he left that state as a sn.all boy.

SECRETARY HOPKINS was one of the inner circle who encouraged Mr. Roosevelt to at tempt to purge those Demo craiic senators who refused to support the court bill, the first major political blunder of Mr. Roosevelt. It was Hopkins him self who undertook to tell the Democratic voters of Iowa to defeat Senator Guy Gillette. The senator was re-iiected. It was at this point that the po litical advice of Hopkins was taken rather than that of the practical Jim Farley, because the latter did not believe in punishing Democratic senators who disagreed with the Presi dent. Failure of the purge fail ed to impair Hopkins' standing as a political strategist at the White House, but the star of Farley began to wane. This week at Chicago, Farley and Hopkins are scarcely on speaking terms, and Hopkins is performing for Mr. Roosevelt what three years ago it had been planned for Mr. Roosevelt to be doing for Hopkins get ting him the presidential nom ination. INSOFAR as Oregon Is con 1 cerned under WPA. Hopkins has treated the state well and he points to Oregon as one place where no political scan dals developed In that organiz ' ation. In passing it should be noted, however, that Hopkins Ignored the Democratic state i organization in the matter of i census patronage when he be- came secretary of commerce. and gave it to the Common 1 wealth Federation and expected the convention slate of dcle t gates of that organization to be j elected. . a,tcmPt wl1' bf made when congress reassembles next week to have It adjourn sine die.

After the November election adjournment sine die may have a better chance. The few members who have slipped home during the recess for the Democratic and Republican conventions have been criticized for these visits because although there have been no sessions there is com mittee work, and important committee work. WASHINGTON gcene Dr. " Ross Mclntire, he Marion county boy who is the persona! physician of the President, says that Mr. Roosevelt's physical condition is almost perfect. Several times a dav a truck passes the White House, adver tising Mrs. Roosevelt's news paper column. As a delicate compliment to Jim Farley the band at the convention played "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," because Jim is to boss a New York club. Work In government offices came to a standstill each time the radio brought reports of the conven tion, for Washington is the most politically-minded city In the world. In The t By Frank Jenkins. TSHAT was a ringing speech made by Senator Barkley of Kentucky, permanent chairman of the Democratic convention, to the delegates "Eucsdav night. It leaves this writer with this conclusion: IF people REALLY BELIEVE that: "The wheels of Industry were motionless and that "15 mil lion American laborers wan dered In vagrant anxiety over tomorrow's food and shelter,'' due to the Republican partv, and that now, DUE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, "labor is no longer exploited but is free to sit across a table from its employer on terms of eaual ity and bargain collectively over wages, hours and working con ditions"; THAT ' 'The American farmer has TWICE the Income under the New Deal" that he had before the New Deal; THAT "Our national Income (under the New Deal) has increased from 38 billions to 71 billions per year ; THAT 4 1 "The TOTAL indebtedness of me American people has DE CREASED (under the New Deal) by more than 10 billions": THAT "Our national debt Increased by 22 billions but our other debts decreased by 30 billions" and (under the New Deal) "our income increased four times as much"; THAT "Our national Hcf mti Via been built up (under the New Deal) "in spite of Republican opposition to increasing the na tional defense": THE American people If thev 1 REALLY BELICVf things that Senator Barkley said io me uemocrauc delegates at Chicago can't be blamed if they refuse to have anything further to do with the Republican par ty and vote back Into power the nominee of the Democratic convention, even if so doing involves throwing overboard our unwritten law that there shall be no third term for ANY PRESIDENT. The picture he paints. fF TRUE, is too convincing to be disregarded. "THIS writer ' DOESN T BE 1 LI EVE THE PICTURE. But this writer is only one individual among millions." You don't have to take his word for it. You don't have to take AN BODY'S word. You have lived through these seven vears of the New Deal.

July 18 '.-Pi The London depot for American gifts for civilian relief has assembled 75 000 garments, knitted some 30.000 pounds of wool into wear ing apparel and made up about 60 miles of dress goods Into clothing since opening last Feb ruary, it was announced today, i AIsop-Kintner At Chicago (Continued from Pmsrp On as he went because the mili tary situation made It almost impossible that the allies would ever need more than naval and air aid. Throughout the winter, in the entire circle of American policy-makers, the proposition was always calmly accepted that if the allies should need help by methods no longer short of war, the help would be forthcoming from the United States if it was within our power. NOW, if England should hold out until the time when the United States can offer effective aid, the president may have to explain away his sentence con ceded to the isolationists before he can carry his policy Into ef fect. He felt this danger strong ly. In the 48 hours before the foreign relations plank was adopted, he told one man, urg ing him to resist the isolation ists, that he would not run if the platform should include a straight pledge to peace-at-any-price. To another he said "no red-blooded man" could run on such a platform. The pledge was slightly modified to read "peace-at-any-price except in case of attack." The president no doubt now believes he can make an argu ment that an attack has oc curred whenever he wishes to act decisively in the foreign field. But the delight of the isolationists and the plain Eng lish of the platform both test ify that, for the period of the campaign at least, the president has been committed to the pure ly defensive policy which has already had such sad results abroad. TH White House explanation of the platform waa eomewhat delphlc. The platform may not have changed the presidents policy be cause the president plana to Jettison the platform. Jut conceivably, the platform may not have changed the president's policy because he plans to reject renomlnatlon. Meanwhile, however, the foreign policy plank stands as another specimen of the Incredible bungling which haa mark ed the whole conduct of this con vention. Three accidents largely explain It. The first waa the assumption of the main authority to ak for the president by Secretary of Commerce Harry L. Hopkins, a compromiser by nature, and neither a wise nor an experienced politician. The second waa the fact that auch leading Iso lationists aa Senator Burton K. wheeler. Bennett Champ Clark and Pat McCarran were also leading antl third termers. And thethlrd waa the selection for membership on the res olutions committee of a large num ber of leaders of Isolationist cast of mind. The convention as a whole la not Isolationist, aa a careful poll of the delegates showed. But the reso lutions committee waa packed, chief ly by pure happenstance. BECAUSE of the three aeddenta. the problem of the foreign rela tions plank was probably hopelesa from the start. Senator Robest Wag ner, chairman of the resolutlona committee, came to Chicago with a foreign relations plank written at the White House, which already repre sented a compromise on the presi dent's part. Senators Wheeler. Clark and othera wanted much more than the compromise offered them. Hop klna. who frankly admitted that hl entire authority wm aelf-sjwumed. apparently told them they could have most of their way and urged Wagner to go along.
