editorial this morning on President
Roosevelt's message to congress, says:
Nobody expected President Roose-

charges that the recent financial crisis
was an outcome OF his energetic ac-
ton; but few persons thought he
would take up the challenge In the
audacious spirit of his latest message.
He. indeed, is SO far from showing
any signs OF penitence that be filings
back taunt for taunt into his opron-

For some time there has been a sat
