“The demagogue, in iis rising

Make good by capitalizing
The ancient national grouches
He fosters the feuds and the
hating.

him,
Until, their fervor abating,
They growl, and they up and
they smack him.
For each dictator and war.head
Will suffer rebounding blame,
Since those who live by the sorehead
Shall perish by the same.

The little jingle above, clipped
from ithe Saturday Evening Post,

eertain that a champion of the underdog will rise and in honeyed accents

wide sympathy, latent in good times,
active in bad times, for the underdog. When -the popular leader de; fares that no one shall starve in Am—.. @rica, he makes a universal appeal.

“But ne?ther Hoover not Roosevelt
are a toial national loss. However, :
too cautious, still instituted the
RFC, which has been one of Roosevelt’s instruments in relieving the
depression. That we now have another depression, not so acute, as that
of the Hoover regime, is due mainly to Rooseveltian haste. Caution can
be too slow, and haste, as we all
Know, makes waste So we will have
had a wasteful eight years when the
curtain rings down on Dr. Roosevelt.
‘On the backs of taxpayers has been
piled_the greatest debt in the history
of the world. At the same time new
restrictions, new . regulations have
been enacted, that hamper earning
capacity, not to mention the constant
pressure for further reforms that
make business and. even the means
ofliviing unceriain.
So we come to the conclusion that
if Hoover was too slow in an emerg2 .
ency, Roosevelt is far too fast. We.
are-cured of our diseases but tre
medicine we have taken is more
painful than the ills we had.
The great fault of legislating for
125,000,000 people is that it is practically impossible to do so without
oppression of some great segment of
the population. In Russia, as a recent commentator points out, the
Soviet authorities adopted a sho.-gun

ed a chicken in every pot, or two cars
in every garage, we will admit that
some such inference was implicit in
hhis speech. It was an appeal to the
same kind of voters on whose shoulders Roosevelt later rode into power. It is dangerous for any man to
make promises of this kind or to
lead anyone to ‘think that such promises canbe kept. History bristles
with the names of political messiahs who promised and failed.
It is a matter of time, Those who
must depend on emotionalism to,
win political leadership fall by the .
same law that raises them. The hexoworship of today is the contumely
of tomorrow. Hoover, winning by a}
popular majority of little less than
that of his successor, was cast out
in four years. -Roosevelt, building
the discontented elements of the nation into a serviceable vehicle rides

as a matter of fact, the big fellows

The President’s address to Congress Monday. gives promise that
something will be done about mending this condition For the first time
he narrows his wccusation o. wrong

a few recalcitrant and_ rebellious

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.—Severe
and sometimes disabling ches: pains
which resemble the symptoms of angina pectoris, may be traced in many
instanees to the patient’s excessively
overweight condition, according to
Dr. William J. Kerr, professor of
medicineg in the University of California Medical School.
Speaking before the eighth annual}
post graduate symposium on heart
disease held here recently, Dr. Kerr
revealed that the Unixersity Medical .
Schoo! has obtained results which
are nothing short of phenomenal in
treating over weight sufferers. from
chest pain, breathlessness and low
blood pressure.
The pain, similar to that of angina .
pectoris, in this condition, is presumed to be due to an insufficient supply of oxygen to the muscles of the
heart. Dr. Kerr believes on the basis
of personal. observation of a large
number. of patients that the chief and
precipitating causes of the pain lie
outside the heart itself.
He lays the blame on conditions
which prevent the heart from filling
with an adequate amount of oxygen
carrying blood. Extreme obesity and
resulting abnormal posture is one of
these conditions he says.
At the University Medical School,
overweight patients have been put
on a special diet designed to reduce
the weight to normal and properly
fitted abdominal belts have been applied. Later, postural exercises have
been prescribed. In every case in
Which this has been done the attacks!
of pain have been removed.
The reason for this cessation of
pain cannot be listed categorically,
according to Dr. Kerr. However, he
believes that it is due to the restoration of the normal position and movements of the diaphragm, the change
in pressure within the abdomen and
chest, ‘and the increased freedom of
motion enjoyed by the chest in the
preathing. All these factors apparent.
ly combine to aid the heart infilling itself with an adequate supply
of blood.

AUTO LICENSE TIME
OPENS: APPLY EARLY
Pright new license pilates of gleaming black and yellow begin to appear
this week on the cars of California
motorists with the opening of the
annual period for renewal of automobile registration on Monday (January 3).
Wise motorists are applying early,
it was pointed out by the California
State Automobile Association. Those
who put off applying until the -closing days of the period face the congestion and delays of a last minute
‘rush. A greater risk of waiting is
that of failing to apply before the
time limit expires at midnight, February 4.
Delinquent applicants will be required by law to pay cash penalties
which increase the regular registration fee from $3 to $6 and add 50
per cent to the amount of vehicle
liccense fee based on car value.
Car owners applying for renewal
are required to present the registration certificate for 1937. They should
also present the postcard notice
from the department of motor vehicles showing the total fees due, in
order to facilitate handling their application.
In casg the registration certificate
‘has been lost or is too badly damaged for use application for a duplicate certifciate is necessary. This requires presentation of the ownership
certificate. for the information it
contains concerning the car. If that
certificate also is not available, the
car itself must be brought to a plate
issuing office for examination as to
engine number and other facts.
Applications for renewal of registration and issuance of new license
plates for 1938 are being handled
by the department at its various offices and by the Automobile Association for member motorists at thirty
three district offices.

I wonder too, why sound, advice

I wonder often about advice; if you take it, you wish you
hadn't; if you don’t take it, you wish you had; if you have
some to give away, no one wants it; if you don't give it, people call you unsympathetic. Does anyone ever learn just what
to do with or about advice?
Many years ago, when the hydraulic miners of Alta California were waging a losing battle with forces representing
the interior valleys, a poet residing in Marysville or Sacramento, composed a couplet which,
joined to a fantastic tune, became rather popular—in some quarters. It rans as follows:
‘Dam the Yuba and the Bear
And doubly dam the black debris.”
Now this was sound advice, freely given and often reiterated; but the hydraulic miner s failed to recognize it as such; \
instead, they regarded it as a hymn of hate and treated it with
contempt. In recent years however, they have
‘practicability and are now eagerly hastening to dam, not only \
the Yuba and the Bear, but the American river as well. This
