Renavinn the Bankers.

The Roosevelt administration is pay.
ing back the national bankers for their
liberal contributions to the Republican
campaign funds by loaning them the
public funds TO the amount of over
$3.50. 000, 900 TO carry on their business
without charging them any interest
But in addition to that there have been
special loans made to favored Wall
street bankers to enable them to i'm.
port gold and thus try and prevent a
Wall street panic IL is'not strange
therefore that Mr.. Haden. an Atlanta
banker, demands that the southern
banks be loaned the public money to
move the cotton crop. why" Mr.
Haden asks, when addrwessing a con.
vention of national bankers. should
we not call upon the government for
AID as do the gambling-stricken banks
when pressed by frenzied speculation"
The answer should be plain. that II
is entirely out of the province of gov.
eminent TO place the public funds at
the disposal of any private business
enterprise. for If one is aided all 9th.
ers would have equal right to the same
treatment. and even the governmeE
of the United States would not have
money enough To go around. Secre-
tary Shaw loaning money to the IA
vored Wall street banks is a usurpa
ton of his powers that congress
should investigate.

The theory Of our constitution Is
that all federal powers are delegated
powers. and must originate in grants
made by the people alone; or in the
language OF the tenth amendment of
the constitution, that "the powers not
delegated TO the United States by the
constitution. nor prohibited by IL to
the states. are reserved TO the states
respectively or to the people But
President Roosevelt rejects this the
DRY and despises this constitutional
provision. In his speech at the dedi
cation OF the new capitol at Harris
burg. Pa. October 4. he said:
I'VE need through executive action
through legislation and through judi
cial Interpretation and construction OF
law, 20 increase the power OF the fed
eral government"
How can the power OF the federal
government be constiiutionally In
creased through executive action. in
dlclal Interpretation. or congress 0nal
legislation? The only power which
the legislative. executive or judicial
departments Of this government pos
$685. 81 can honestly possess. must
como through The action Of the people
alone. Roosovclts declaration is en-
Nrely unconstitutional and hls acts
In pursuance OF that declaration arc

The Republican plan OF trusrbusting

litical effect. What good result has

by the same interests and are contin'

again been called into consultation
with the official trust busters. TO ad

successful. and the trust is convicted

sUMPTUoUs REPAsT OF

At Thanksgiving time so much is
heard of old-tashioned dinners that il
may be interesting TO readers TO hear
what the term signitied in Philadel-
phia some years ago.
About so years ago a large dinner
was very different TO what IL is now
In the first place courses. such as we
know them, We're practically unknown;
even in the weathiest houses there
was rarely anything but soup preced-
ing the actual dinner, but this soup
was generally very rich.
Such a dinner consisted about as
follows. First a handsome silver-cov-
cred soup tureen was placed on the
table, filled with mock turtle or per-
haps venison soup, and all We're

plates were removed great roast

berries and marvelously trussed and

and every sort of vegetable TO be had
obtained a place on the festive boa."l
while cunning molds of crauberrie;
and icllies and gravies. pickles alc
the like were in abundance.
There was generally what was
known as an oyster pie"-stewcc
oysters served in a puff-paste shell

There was no salad course, but o.
desserts there was no dearih. Pump

and nutcrackers were handed arount
for the nuts.
The centerpiece was invariably Z
great pyramid Of fruits arranged OF
a cut-glass or Dresden china epergne
and. when the table was very long
there were sometimes two of thes'
fruit pyramids.
A little later. after the guests ha'
adjourned to the drawingroom, coffee
ices and fancy cakes were served Z
them there. There We're no littlt
