THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1936. Dail y Alaska Em plre ROBERT W.

Snell of the Re- “dead store of meaningless poli- that first outright defeatist note to come out of | | the old veteran, New York, House minority leader, warned publicans against the tical phrases and empty promises would mean defeat in November.” Coming as it did on the heels of the keynote speech by Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon, who dug up all the phrases the for the past year or more anti-New Dealers have been using it gave definite indication | that all is not well at Cleveland nor within the Re- publican party Representative Snell is a shrewd old politician. He's been in the political ring, a potent figure for a great many years, and id is probable that he saw in the utterances of the Keynoter a rehash of the Liberty League charges of last winter. And he is aware that Roosevelt stock took a decided boom right after Al Smith took a walk under money barons of the Liberty League. He probably found the words of Senator Steiwer a little trite, when the latter shouted, “our purpose here is not only to adopt a platform and nominate a Republican President but we have a deeper, thorough- ly American purpose, to start a drive to replace the self-styled New Deal with an American Deal.” The old Congressman may well have sighed a little in despair as he heard the Keynoter declare the Grand Old Party would “make sure public funde aré voted to feed the hungry mouths and used for that purpose and not employed for enrichment of political strap- hangers.” And why shouldn’t he? Admission that the hun- gry must be fed coming from a party that persistently and loudly has cried against the expenditure of public money to feed the needy because it would raise taxes and throw the budget out of balance? Small wonder that Mr. Snell referred to the “dead store of meaningless political phrases” after he had listened to the temporary chairman tell 15,000 persons that the New Deal was “retarding recovery.” The Congressman probably has been reading the finan- cial pages and knows that business is on its highest level since 1929, and realized that there was some- thing impotent and empty about a charge of the Roosevelt policies retarding recovery. | For example, the New York Times on May 17 an- : nounced: “The Times weekly index of business ac- tivity has moved up for the week ended May 9 to the estimated normal of 100, the first time it has| been there since the week ended May 3, 1930.” The previous day Business Week reported the first quarter net earnings for the first 362 American industrial cor- ' porations to report showed gains of 43 per cent over the first quarter of 1935. Yes, it was likely a sad day for the Congressman and many others at Cleveland yesterday as they looked for somelhmg progressive and concrete from their, lines. the colors of the the use for |° " Pinance Corporation suddenly announced its decision | {ahead of an election,” "u majority over Mr. Hoover of half a 'Keynowr and heard only what Mr. Snell very properly | labeled ‘meamn;,]exs political phrases.” | THE FALLACY OF VOTE BUYIN | Can the own money?” his address in Philadelphia last week. rhetorical question on his assertion huge sums being rushed into politically districts two jumps ahead of the election.” After due consideration of the record, the Balti- more Evening Sun concludes that the answer to Mr Hoover is No, there being evidence that the Ameri- | g can people cannot be thus purchased. Various uv.ner.s‘ also have recalled since the Philadelphia speech that 1932, that the Reconstruction | American p»np]v be bought with their asked Ex-President Herbert Hoover in He based his that they “see! important it was on October 7, to approve an appropriation of $62,000,000 for the San Francisco Bay bridge project. October 7 was 29 days | —“two jumps,"—ahead of the presidential election of that year. Commenting on this the orthodox | G.O.P. San Francisco Chronicle said “It was the President’s intervention that secured | action to overcome objection in the corporation and finally secured the undertaking.” William H. Crocker, the Republican National Committeeman from California, was even more| emphatic: | “Nobody but Mr. Hoover and Mr. Mills could have put that over. President Hoover has done this for us.” | But after this clear case of “huge sums being | rushed into politically important districts two jumps California gave Mr. Roosevelt million votes.

Spinach is dethroned. Who the new King of diet is to be does not clearly appear; perhaps some | kind of soviet of all the vegetables that happen to be | available or to be liked. Nor is Dr. Sweet's talk lhev’ | | first sign that the pendulum of opinion about diet is making another rapid swing, although most experts may not approve its swinging quite so far as Dr. Sweet would have it go. Perhaps the fact that he practices in sunny Oakland, its market full of year-round vege- tables, has something to do with his rejection of King Spinach, almost the only kind of edible green leaves | that Eastern winter markets afford First vogue of spinach among health experts rested on supposed plentitude of iron. Next came knowledge of its vitamins. Now the talk is of calcium and other needed mineral salts. Only the iron theory seems to have been in any important degree a delu- sion, but neither vitamins nor minerals make spinach @ true necessity. Russian hotels now serve for a few kopeks small doses of concentrated vitamins, helping lo replace shortage of vitamin-rich vegetables. It possible, too, to swallow regular supplies of mineral alts. So far as mere vitamins or minerals are con- cerned, neither spinach nor anything else is really necessary. Deficiencies can be made up by a few pills. Mere needed bulk also has been supplied, at least experimentally, by daily dishes of shredded filter paper. Yet King Spinach and his retinue of leafy vege- tables still have supporters. Only a few years ago even the vitamins were unknown, but thoughtful men always have known that eating green leaves helps health. No less a personage that the Emperor Augus- tus lengthened his life by learning this bit of lore. Nebuchadnezzar may have been saner than his critics thought when they saw him eating grass. Known vitamins and known minerals aside, there is good evidence that something in fresh green leaves is use- ful. Some day, we predict, plant chemistry will catch up with this bit of every-day knowledge, find out what this undiscovered something is and, per- haps, bring spinach and its leafy brethren back to power.
