Editorial Correspondence Chicago, 111., July 20. The weather man must be a Demo crat. Aa long at the convention was on, he tempered the heat to the woolly Bourbon lamb. But now with the stadium closed and the Democrats flown, he has turned it on and HOW I . At this it being written it's 94 in the shade, which out in the Rogue River valley would mean approximately 194, for the humidity here just about doublet the poison. We would much rather tit tinder a eold shower than peek at thit machine, but there's work to b done, aye, there's work to be done!. So here goes, Yet, he mutt be a Democrat, for a Republican would have cut off those cool lake breezet and refreshing nights, thereby killing at least a thousand long-suffering followers of Franklin DELANO Roosevelt. (By the way, do you know how to pro nounce Delano and Rooaeveltt If you do you know more than nine out of ten of the speakers at the stadium. The pronuncia tions were to different and to wierd we got up a penny ante game in our section of the press gallery, your correspondent end ing up three cents ahead, by selecting Delano with the accent on the first syllable.) And that mortality crack isn't entirely faeetioui. At it it we venture to say it will take months for many a good Democrat to recover from the effects of the gathering. Had heat and humidity been added to the strain on the heart and soul, the mortality, and we mean if, might have been terrific! For now that one can get a perspective, it was, we believe, one of the most depressing, dispiriting and all-around DIS COITRAGING conventions the Democratic party has ever held. The agonies it caused varied of course, but it is our firm conviction that no one was pleased with it, or its results, and this goes for the President, and all the way on down the line. And aside from those who were plastered all the time, and some were, we are quite certain NO ONE had a good time. Imagine en passant how the plastered ones are feeling this hot, dank and steaming morning 1 The two convention pictures that cling with us, in retros pect, are, we believe, typical of the entire proceeding. FIRST, there it Jim Farley, chewing gum nervously, tears in his eyes gazing at that whoopla celebration for President Roosevelt at in spite of the chairman's efforts to check it (half hearted onet) it went ON AND ONI We never suspected the somewhat vacant, atony and arid features of the Postmaster General COULD depict such depths of woe and depression! Second, there is the venerable but valiant Senator Glass after (hat speech of his against lying back in hit chair, hit strong but colorless face com pletely expressionless, hit dignified bride of a few weeks hold ing one hand, while with the leaf fan! . Put those two figures in atone, in the archivet of the Democratic, the Chicago convention of 19401 We note the oddt on Wall clined to be sentimental about this convention started from 2 to 1 on Roosevnlt, to 10 to 9. Well, we should say that 'a just about how the F. D. R. stock has declined since last Monday evening. ror this convention has brought into sharp relief two tlimes: First, there is a serious split in the ranks of the Democratic party over Roosevelt and the third term. Second, some of the most sinister and corrupt political forces in the country are behind Roosevelt, working for Roosevelt, and for one reason and one reason alone: If Roosevelt is re-elocted they will continue in power, and if he isn't they won't. And this Kclly-Nash crew here in Chicago is only one of them. (And let no one-try to present an alibi for this cut-throat ennr?. we didn't tit within earshot of them And unless the morale of the ershin radically chanire from what it is today, we predict those odds will continue to drop from put a bold front on for the press, behind the scenes, and we know, the really wise ones are selling short in the future book right now! Having contributed one smaclcer to the watch for Jim Farley from hit friends in the press section, we went around to his final press conference to see the same presented. They can say what they wish of Jim Farley, and Westbronk Pegler has said considerable, one can't help but like and re spect him, at the present time He isn t an intelligent or thoughtful person. lie is, to us at least, almost entirely devoid of color or charm, but one does feel he is absolutely genuine, honest, and loyal in the extreme. We imagine the real story of the break between rarley and Roosevelt would make great copy and throw a revealing siilo liirht upon their respective and dissimilar characters, but it very likely will never be told. We are iiite certain Jim will never tell it, anil Roosevelt would have no reason to do so, for we doubt if it is of much importance to him. Hut obviously Jim has been very much hurt, and we have no doubt it was Mrs. Roosevelt's keen appreciation of this fact that impelled her to preface her remarks to the convention with that simple, but sincere, tribute to him. One newspaper man, very close to Farley, told us that after that memo-able conference at Hyde Park the other day, Farley refused to say anything in his conference, but afterward blurted out to no one in particular: "He's a great President, but what a snob, man, WHAT a snob!" If that's true, we can't vouch for it, it is certainly a novel criticism of the "Great Humanitarian!" And yet we have an idea it may be a natural reaction for a hard-working upstate lad brought up in Tammany, toward a country gentleman of the Roosevelt type, who unlike Jim, never put his personal loyal ties above his loyalties to principles, often holds to policies and discards men. Our South Carolina friend, who was strong for Willkie at Philadelphia, was even stronger for President Roosevelt here, and intends to work for him. He doesn't agree at all with Wall Street regarding the election, dismisses it as the most flagrant example of wishful thinking. In fact, regards the re-clwtion of Roosevelt at absolutely certain, for he says no candidate can get New York or Illinois away from him. Without these two states, he declares, Willkie can't win. There is no point in arguing with him either. when S. 0. knows a thing he KNOWS it. (However, we did persuade him to put up a stnnll offerinir. which will land up in Southern Oregon if Willkie should sur prise him.) Under the circumstances, therefore. such blind Roosevelt devotion, we were surprised to have him agree with our view of the hokum in that radio acceptance speech of the President's early yesterday morninj. "Oh, sure," said he, "tha President is mnkitij a virtue of necessity. A man in hit position has to. Like T.R , F DR. i a very practical man. lie didn't keep his mouth shut because the country would have suffered had he shown his hand, lie kept mum because, from his standpoint, it was smart politic to do so. lie did not want a third term, but he devilled lie had to try for it, and having so decided, naturally he w ts out totlF.T il "Hud he announced himself a candidate some time before the convention met, there would have bceu time for the ippo.-d. the third term, eyes closed, other the tenderly plied a palm and they could be filed away party, as perfect symbols of Street, where thev are not in such things. have changed since for five days for nothing!) Democratic party and its lead- now until election. The boys but we have hnd several peeks also we feel sorry for him. tion to get together, both in hit party and outside, perfect strategy and plans, and put up their STRONGEST MAN. Even more important, perhaps, there would have been time to arouse and crystalize PUBLIC OPINION throughout the country against him and the third term. In which case it might very well have resulted in his withdrawal, or if not that, a far more disastrous fight within hit party than has occurred, and that's been no Epworth League camp meeting, either. "Oh, sure, I don't deny that. Neither do Ieny that the President is a smoothy when it comes to political tactict and manipulation or if he saw an opportunity to gain an important objective, politically speaking, he wouldn't, if need be, sacri fice his best friend. "I have no illusions about F.D.R. any more than I had about T.R.; both great men, and essentially right in their aims, at least, as I see them. "So I am for them. But there ia no argument regarding that early morning radio speech, as far as I am concerned. He didn't tell the truth, about why he did thus and so, bjt most of the people will believe he did, and, oh, hell ! bunko, when you come down to brass tacks what's the truth ANYWAY, and what's it got to do with POLITICS if you can't be a realist and ruthless in this game, you better not go into it, not as a big shot in the Mig League, anyway. If you do, you're just wasting your time!" R.W.R. Personal Health Service Br William airntfl lattara nrtinin m iiwito ana ujgirnc, not to disease diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Or.

ORGANIC DISEASE IS Although a minority of Indi viduals afflicted with dabetex, cancer, tuberculosis, peptic ul cer, gallstonej, heart disease. Bright's d i s ease or other serious or- pnnie Hianjicf. fsf l choose to doc tor themselves or "try" vari ous nostrums which purport to cure, most such sufferers with fair in telligence o r common sense follow the advice and treatment prescribed by their own phy sicians. When It comes to the manage ment of functional ailments a great many more sufferers are inclined to gamble with health If this were not so, I suppose there would be little Interest in a column like mine. A hand ful of letters daily are from people whose health, so far as their letters indicate, is excel lent. Bui 09 out of 100 let ters daily are from people who have some complaint, some ail ment, perhaps still only func tional. Under present circumstances where else can these people with functional ailments seek advice if not In this shop? Un fortunately, there are still a great many physicians who, in stead of taking seriously the timid complaints of these peo ple, are inclined to laugh at them and dismiss them with the assurance that there is nothing the matter and the ad vice to forget it. At least thut is the story I find in a large number of letters from people of all classes nnd degrees. My life for many ye.irs has been just one controversy or quarrel after another, with the doctors wno purport to rcpre sent medical science or the au thoritative medical opinion of the day. I have taken some severe punishment, ;md I have given a few telling blows in return. The history of these battles, in reference to the chemical obi iteration of vari cose veins, the ambulnnt treat ment of hernia, the diathermy extirpation of tonsils, '.he injec tio ntreatment of hemorrhoids, the Iniquity if the attitude of the organized medical profes sion toward the patenting of medicines.

' THE CAPITAL PARADE Br JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP Released by tha North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc. Washington, July 23. The convention miasma is fading, and the realities of life in this year of very dubious grace are beginning to loom asa u. One of these is tne almost unbear able problem of the English children. Despite the desperate need for rofuge of millions of these children, and the willing ness even agerness of litei ally hundreds of thousands of Americans to take the children into thrlr homes, nothing is be ing done to bridge the gap. The (tap consists of thr. thou sand mile of ocean, mined and sub-niarme-lnlrstrd. Three weeks ao. the British ministry of shipping 'aa prepared to evacuate the children IB large numbers, and the obstacle to evacnstlon was the Incredible red tape which state department bureau crat had wound arouix! ths chll dren's feet. The red-tape haa now been cut. But meanwhile, besides the Arandora star and the Cartnthla. the Oeoixtc. the Frsnconla and the lancastrta hsve all been lost on Ui. Atlantic paMw. This la the real reason why Winston Churchill an nounced In the house of commons that the at-heme to evacuate the ; children had been temporarily aban- doned Toy. Thara ara not tmoufh wwli ot tha Quaen Mary etas to araeiut sufficient numbers of ctjlldraa to prevent dlaertm! nation. Tfcer ara not British Wavrthtpc available for eonvoy. lor vbereae the British had 466 destroyers at the nd of the laat war. they now have far leae than half that number and must uae all they have to hold the channel. Thue tt la useless to hope that the British ajorernment will change lta mind, and aend children to thla country in Brltlah bottoms. It would be a trajtc mistake It the government did ao. A vast tonnage of American ship pins of course, available to bring tha children to the safe places which await them In tha United States. Under an exception of the neutrality 1 act allowed some months ago by congress, the Red Cmea la permitted ! to send ehlps Into marine combat' conea for relief purposes, so long as safe conducts are obtained from tha German government. Aa It happens, the Red Cross pro-! poses to carry on an txtenstve relief program thla winter In the Europ ean nations for which Germany Is now responsible. Tha V. B. govern ment Is considering contributing part of tha American food surplus for thla purpose. Many wise heads doubt S9 advisability of allowing neutral American generosity thus to give Indirect aid to Germany against the national Interest. But If this aid la to be given, certainly safe con ducts for Red Cross child rescue ships should be asked as its price. A strong movement foe this pur pose la now afoot. The Red Cross also has Its bureaucracy, and It seems to be somewhat unwilling to move. The administration, afflicted with the counsels of opportunists. Is not anxious to take a daring part. But. But the problem is so dramatic, the plan la so reasonable that action li at least possible. If the German government la publicly asked to choose between seeing Europe starve and bomlng the children, or letting the children escape and seeing Europe fed. It seems Inconceivable that even the gangster minds now in power In Germany can hesitate for long. The acuteness of the need of the EnglUh children can hardly be ex aggerated. The children of Spain, except at Guernica, knew no such intensive bombing as the English children will know. Yet In the camps of Spanish child refugees, competent welfare workers found that their horrible experiences had so Im bued the children's minds that they could think, and talk, and picture nothing but the horrors of war. Many of them, tt was feared, could never grow up into normal men and women. Nor can one exaggerate the gener ous eagerness of the American people to meet the need of the English chil dren. Instances csn be multiplied indefinitely. Perhaps the moat tell ing is the story of tha Italian (arm laborer and his wife, with four chil dren of thetr own and no huge sum to keep them on. Against the advice of their employer and deepite the fact their home-land la at war with England, this humble Italian couple insisted on applying to the child refugee committee to be allowed to care for sn English child. Under the circumstances it seems doubtful that even such teolsttonlsts as Burton K. Wheeler and Bennett Champ Clark win dare to utve that the children be left to far their fate.
