the Muscovite example by contributing to the same

not order its expulsion from the language, from
the stock in trade of his followers. His is only a

anything equally significant about the presidential

in behalf of the President it must be said that the
New Deal is completely outmoded. AS the for
spending money, the New Deal must defer to the
Second World War, which has made the New Deal
sound penurious AS the ocsin for social gains, the
New Deal is equally laggard, for the Second World
War has obliterated the joblessness which even

In recent months also, the Presi-
dents children have been away, and
in no position to raise he'll with
him Jimmy Roosevelt, a colonel
in the Marines, did telephone his
father from Los Angeles after the
horrible fiasco at Guadalcanal in
August, 1912, and urged him to fire
lot of admirals. And Elliott
Roosevelt, on one or two trips back
from North Africa, has had some
hot things to say about certain of
his fathers pet advisers. But other
wise, this stimulating influence has
been removed.
Result is that the President has
to be his own whip-lash to keep
himself from falling back into the
splendid isolation enjoyed by SO
many Presidents during their last
years in office.
Since he wants to set up perman-
ent peace machinery more than
anything else in the world for
which Senate ratification is so
necessary-he may apply the whip
to himself and, make it point to
see more of the disagreeable poll
ticos on Capitol Hill. 1t will be
one thing to watch this new year.

HOROSCOPE
1.-THE stars incline
but do not compel
FRIDAY. JANUARY :

Though benefic aspects dominate,
today is not important in planetary
direction. Some unexpected de-
velopment in the war is indicated.
+, HEART AND HOME: Under this
oonfiguration me ia depression
may follow the holiday festivities
because of anxiety over absent
members of the family Conserva-
ton of physical strength and emo
lions is imperative through this
month of strain. Severe weather
will emphasize fuel shortages.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: A growing
public demand for diminished cost
of medical care and hospital ac-
commodations is prophesied. Scar
city of doctors and nurses because
of war needs will hasten the expan-
sion of medical insurance. Public
health organizations will contribute
to the welfare of wage earners.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Shortages
of dairy products will be widespread
this month. Housewives will study
nutrition values to provide sub
stitutes for butter and milk.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S :
Hitler, who has some knowledge of
astrology, knows that his doom is
indicated within the year 1914 or
1945 and it is forecast that he is
determined to make the end of
Nazism horror long to be remem-
bered. The seers stress the point
that the defeat of Hitler is some
thing quite independent of the de-
feat of the whole German people.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of prosperity
and good luck. Unusual opportuni-
ties will come to both men and wo-
men.
Children born on this day will
probably be exceptionally clever
and talented. A few may have the
touch of genius and will be high
strung and sensitive.

The problem OF enabling members of the armed
forces to vote in national election is not wholly
novel one 1t arose during the Civil War, in the
election of 1854 although of course the numbers and
distances involved not nearly so great as at the
present time The presidential contest of 1920 did not
take place until two full years after the World War
arnistice by which time most of the men in uniform
had been demobilized And the end of the war with
Spain came than two years prior to the election
of 1900.
Congress met the Civil War problem by enacting
law which authorized soldiers and sailors to vote If
qualified In effect this threw upon the States the
responsibility for actay enabling the votes to be cast
Of the 25 States which then considered themselves
members of the Union l3 made provision for absentee
ballotng by their citizens who had been called into
service The soldier vote from two of these States
and Minnesota, came in too late to be counted
So did most of those from Vermont While the votes
cast by men in uniform did not alter the election
outcome in any State they leaned far more heavily

in favor of President Lincoln than the civilian votes
Only SO per of the civilian public supported the
Presidents reelection while 77 per of the mill
tary electorate preferred him to the opposition candi
date, General Mcclellan himself noted soldier.
AS it worked out in 1864 approximately half the
soldiers had at least theoretical opportunity to cast
ballots. OF these only about in actually did so
The rest were either dsfranchsed because their home
States had failed to arrange for them in the
field because they engaged in active military
operations AS precedent, the experience scarcely
be said to lend much encouragement to the view that
army of 10 million be genuinely enfranchised
in a global war through State action alone.

ROOSEvELT'S ISOLATION

As President osevelt begins
what may be the last OF twelve
long years in office, ne faces what
almost every other recent President
has faced-the tendency to become
isolated.
woodrow Wilson was terribly $50
lated during the last OF his second
term, partly by illness, partly by
his preoccupation with working OUT
a permanent peace, partly by tle
jealousy of his wife, who guarded
him from contact with disagreeaole
congressman.
Herbert Hoover also was Isolated
partly because he lacked a Knack
for keeping in touch with people,
partly because he relied TOO mucii
on his own opinions.
Calvin Coolidge perhaps was not
quite so isolated. He saw more
people. went to different parts OF
the country for his summers. But
the country was enjoying a po-
litical and economic paradise. SO IL
didn't matter.
Roosevelt unquestionably has
done more than any immaculate
predecessor to keep in contact with
the country-until recently. He mas
travelled more than any other
President in history. even more than
Taft. He has had large family
of children who have not hesltateo
to raise hell with the Old Man
when they thought things were
going wrong-to say nothing OF a
wife who has greater interest IN
public affairs than any other pre-
vious First Lady Of the Land.

In the whole ten-year period, ne
has never been put on a diet IN a
formal sense. When he gets little
overweight, he finds less food on
his tray Says DR.. McIntire, Il
tell the people who prepare his
luncheon tray to give him little
less of everything, and I speak to
the President himself, and OF course
he is very cooperative. He's grand
about that"
When the President had slight
cold recently. DR.. McIntire applied
the same treatment. He cut down
on the food, shifted to fluids, and
had the President alkalize himself.
The nice part of it" adds the
Admiral, lis that he likes milk
toast and boiled rice, which are
good for him at such times. AS a
matter of fact, he deserves the
credit for his health-not l."
