The Political Mill
Latest Joke Is Denial of Seat to Barkley-Srong
Purge Move Might Defeat George.

all his works, he would have taken a
much worse LICKING in Kentucky
The President and the New Dealers
In Washington have been able to
save several Democratic Senators who
have supported the Roosevelt program
from defeat in primary elections this
year. as In the cases Of Senator Bark
ley In Kentucky and Senator Pepper
In Florida. They have not yet been
able. however, to defeat any Demo-
cratic Senator who opposed the Presi-
dent In his fight to have the court
bill and the reorganization bill en-
acted into law Senator Van Nuys
Of Indiana, Senator Clark Of Mis-
souri,, Senator Gillette Of Iowa, all
Of whom opposed the President on one
or both Of these measures, have been
renominated.
George May BE Next.
The President is on his way home
from his vacation He is coming
through Georgia. 1t has been re-
ported time and again that the Presi
dent would undertake to defeat Sena-
tor Walter F. George for denomination
in that State, for George both spoke
and voted against the court bill and
has been against the President on
other occasions. The New Dealers
have put Lawrence Camp in the race
against George Former Gov. Gene"
Talmadge Is also a candidate for the
senatorial nomination,
Georgia considers itself the Presi-
dents second home. Mr.. Roosevelt
has spent a great deal Of time there.
The Roosevelt name carries great
weight in the State. Yet it Is be-
lieved that Senator George will be
renominated unless the President def
nitely comes out against him.
Encouraged by the victory Of Bark
ley in Kentucky the President may
determine to 90 the whole way In an
effort to defeat Senator George. The
primary election there does not take
place until September g. II the Presi-
dent does make a fight against him.
Senator George will have the same
kind Of handicap against him that
ndppy SldIUleI lldO III rcutuShS
Camp, to be sure, is an unknown. He
has never been prominent in Georgia
politics. But he may be the instru-
ment used by the administration to
bring about the downfall of one Of the
Democratic Senator's who has come
under the displeasure Of the White
House. If the President cleans up
George in Georgia he may undertake
to do the same to Senator Tydings in
Maryland, where the primary Is held
September IL.

The President. however. may weigh
the possible effects on the Democratic
party If he personally campaigns
against sitting Democratic Senator's.

Of his own philosophy along lines
that follow his convictions Of human
needs, translated into terms that are
workable. For this slender, thought
full, kindly man is an idealist. His
shift to formal public service was due
to New Deal loyalty, decidedly not
money matters.
During the three months that Mr..
Msllett has been executive director
Of the N. Z. G. he has become In.
creasingly popular in inner White
House councils. Under his direction,
which includes the President, Vice
President, cabinet members and heads
Of Independent agencies, the council
is moving toward real accomplish-
ment. 1t was created by executive
order November II. 1893, when the
first lending-spending program was
getting under way to help recovery
and lessen unemployment. When
things were looking up in 1887, the
President ordered the council abol-
ished. Along came the recession.
The President extended the councils
life. 1t continues for another year.
The main purpose Of the council,
as explained by Mr. Mellett, Is the
coordination Of emergency work In
the field. When such enthusiastic
agencies as the p. w. A. and w. P. A.
get under way with their programs,
some adjustment becomes necessary.
The N. e. c. steps in; there are con.
situations. ours is only q moral
authority" Is the way Mr.. Mellett
puts it.
Mr.. Mellett's finely etched face Is
indication not only Of his idealism
but also Of his enthusiasm. He Is
clever and to be reckoned with In
action. The President recently called
upon him for a reasonably brief state
ment about the needs Of the South.
The answer was immediate. ready for
the use of his Southern conference,
compiled by experts in the Govern
ment service. The conference group
! recounted the needs of their section.

York. to Seattle. to London as war

1t has in the past when . majority
party has been broken in two. The
history Of the Republican split, be-
ginning In 1910 in Congress and car
rying through to 1912 and beyond
shows how the temporary coalitions
slowly but surely get a majority.
At the next session, the majority
against the administration-the Re-
publicans in combination with the
true liberals Of the Democratic party
will be strong enough to control the
Senate, and this means that, sooner
or later. the real investigations into
the activities Of new Tory agencies,
which thus far have been blocked at
every turn, will come to the surface
and bring to light the many things
on which the American people have
been in the dark and on which they
will need information to guide them
In the 1910 campaign.

the seating of Senator Barkley wien
he presents credentials signed, by the
way. by the formerly happy Gov.
Chandler. Those credentials will be
presented when the next Congress
meets. next January g. Very few peo-
pie seriously believe that the Senate
Campaign Investigating Committee
will do more than slap the wrist Of
the w. P. A., or that its activities in
primary and general elections will be
shown to the public through public
hearings, with witnesses In Kentucky
and elsewhere, put on the stand and
under oath.
The Barkley victory in Kentucky
everywhere is hailed as a triumph for
President Roosevelt. If Barkley had
been defeated there would have been
shouts Of Roosevelt defeat from one
end of the country to the other. 1t
is only fair. therefore, for the New
Dealers to do bit of gloating. The
fact remains, however, that the con-
test was waged in State which is
overwhelmingly favorable to the Presi-
dent and that only Democrats-mem-
bers of the Presidents own party
were permitted to vote. With the
prestige and influence Of the Roose-
welt administration. and with the
personal approval OF the President
himself. 1t seemed impossible for
Barkley to lose.
Amazing Testimonial for Chandler.
That Chandler was able to roll up
more than 200. 900 votes against Bark
ley is an amazing tribute to Chan
dler's own personal popularity. 1t is
probable that some Of the Chandler
votes came from Democrats who re-
sented the interference Of the Presi-
dent in the States primary campaign,
and some from Democrats who do not
approve OF the things-or some of
them-that the President is doing.
The fact that Chandler obtained so
many votes probably was due in part,
also. to the fact that the Governor
proclaimed his love for President
Roosevelt. although he was attempting
to defeat the Presidents own chosen
leader in the Senate. 1t was not the

What Is the Cause of
"Spider-Web Check"2

If not properly "fed" with a
good Oil polish, furniture in time
develops what is known as "spi-
derived check!' This appears on
the finish, like wrinkles on the
human face-fine lines, spreading
here and there in a spider-web
pattern. This Grazing, this light
cracking, is known in furniture
language as checking" and "spi-
derived checking" better de-
scribes the condition. This is the
danger-signal, on fnishl It's the
indication Of Starving wood! A
warning to the housewife, that if
the finish is not cared for inme-
diately and properly, the furniture
will develop cracks, ridges and
splits. "Spider-web check" is gen.
orally the result of either one of
these two causes: Polish-neglect
or the use of poor, cheap pol
ish-without the essential fine,
light-ol base. When the furniture
is periodically "massaged" with a
reputable oil polish (the best is
non-greasy), the pores of the wood
are "fed' and the piece is pre-
served. Then "spider-web check"
will not appear! The use of
quality oil polish is the best pre-
ventive formula for this ugly,
detrimental check!

vITAMIN d AND ricketts,

Vitanin D is sometimes called
the sunshine vitamin because il
can be manufactured in the body
through the action of direct sun
light on the skin. This is the vita
min that is necessary for the
proper utilization of calcium and
phosphorus in building bones and
teeth. When it is lacking in the
diet Of infants, there develops that
horrible disease known as ricketts,,
ina which the bones become soft
and twisted, resulting in pitifuI
deforfaities - knock knees, bow
legs, pigeon breast.
M foods, vitamin D is only
found in appreciate amounts in
fish-liver oils and egg yolk. That
is why every homemaker should
be SO grateful to the scientists who
labored to discover how to con-
centrate this precious vitamin
from fish-liver oils and add it to
foods, or to increase the vitamin

alton.

vide vitamins in abundance for
every member of her family. Both
children and adults depend upon
you for their food supply. 1t lies
within your power to help them to
health and happiness or condemn
them to weakness, illness and sor-
row. Do not fail them. See to it
that every member of your house
