With fine irony The Kansas city
Journal calls attention to the fact that
1t is almost time for presidential
message. yet there are no signs Of
.uneasiness or panic In the country.
The Journal remembers that when a
message from Roosevelt was due no
one knew what TO expect or what
sort Of uproar he would precipitate
throughout the country. Something
unusual was always expected. ana 1t
got so that something not only unus-
uai but ill-advised was pretty sure to
be given out when he delivered mes
sage. Now. however. as The Journal
notes. the entire country. financial,
Industrial and all else. Is pursuing
the even tenor of its way without
fear or dread. The contrast is as
marked as It is welcome. 1t Illus
trates the vida difference between
two men occupying the same high po-
sition: the difference between calm
conservatism and clustering conceit.

1t is to be feared that some of the
amendment newspapers will disIocate
their diaphragms in the effort. to
make their readers believe that. there
is nothing wrong or dangerous in the
measure. Let them take comfort from
the reflections that 1t will soon be
over. and then they can go to bed and
take something for their hurts.
