banking department who have been
holding out pleading hands to him for
months. crying. What about the for
gotten men and women Of the Bank of
United States?"
The question is eminently proper to
ask. What, indeed, does Mr.. Roosevelt
have to say about the matter? He
aspires to lead the people Of the Nation
out Of the depression, but apparently
he has overlooked the fact that the
responsibility which he desired to share
with Broderick implies that he had
something to do with leading the people
of New York into it.
If President Hoover carries New York
State there will be many who will be-
neve that he has had the aid of the
ghost of a broken bank.

Texas will have on its ballot on No.

voted on anywhere else. It's proposed
amendment to the State constitution to
determine whether the centennial ami
versary of the declaration of Texas in
dependence from Mexico shall be cele-
brated by world exposition in 1886
The pending amendment would author
1ze the Legislature to appropriate pub
lie funds for that purpose. At present
such appropriations are unconstitu-
tional. Texans figure that an exposition
would bring Sl00,000,000 directly into
the State. Considerable opposition to
the project has developed. All of the
big cities are candidates for selection as
the site, with San Antonio in the lead.

Officers Of the Navy, it appears, must
nowadays, when making public ad-
dresses, talk about almost anything un-
der the sun except the Navy. This
year, it seems. they've been assigned, as
special subject for oratorical exuber-
ance, George Washington. If they can
link the Father Of His Country up with
naval matters, well and good. Other
wise, they have to let themselves go on
some other non-naval issue Possibly

vigorous things to say about alleged &C

One of the most telling arguments
the G. o. P. is using against Roosevelt
is that, should he become President on

Recovery Power Limited.
n the Wall Street Journal.

From the wall street journal.
Without assuming to decide between
the respective merits and the respective
policies of the two candidates and the
probable effect of the election Of either
upon the economic and financial situa-
tion of this country, it is well to re-
member that the power Of either to
make or break recovery" Is limited.
Strictly speaking, it does not exist. Ths
most that either can do Is either to ac-
celerate or brake q movement which
will irresistibly accomplish itself In the
long run. Those who believe that the
choice of either Is q choice between
recovery" and "chaos"-and 1t matters
nothing with which Of these alterna-
tives one links his favorite-are deceiv-
ing themselves. If We have seen ''low
tide" if We have seen the turning point
Of the crisis. as there is now happily
good ground for believing, neither Presi.
dent Hoover nor Gov Roosevelt can
reverse the tide or renew the crisis.
This Is something which the financial

Highwaymanry in Maryland.

An evidence of the advantage which the
modern bandit has over the forces of
the law is furnished by the deplorable
situation in county of Maryland near
the District where for some days a
band Of men has terrorized the people
with hold-ups and robberies. Thus far
they have evaded detection, making
their escape after every assault and
theft. Wearing masks, and working
with speed and precision and with per-
feet cooperation, they get away quickly
without leaving traces. Their identity
has not been revealed. They may be
residents Of the region in which they
are operating, or they may be strangers
who have selected this section for a
series of crimes. The police have been
helpless, both local and State forces
failing to secure any tangible clues to
these operators" There has been
some friction between these two groups,
the State police lacking authority to
depart from their traffic-regulation ter
ritory. The situation calls for executive
action at Annapolis to put the State
police in position to pursue these
lawbreakers with better chance Of Sue
cess than they now have. These crimes
have cost the people of the county
heavily and now there is suggestion
that they may spread to another county
nearer Washington. The people of
ter, for they use the roads in the
adjacent Maryland territory, and if
highwaymanry is to prevail without
check in that region they will feel
reluctant to enter an area where the
law is SO ineffectively enforced

Life will be worth livin'.
So the politicians say.
Well be through with guessin'
While the orators compete.
Well simply ask the blessin'
And we'll settle down to eat.
Waitin' for election
When the problems that surprise
Will be solved by the selection
OF leader good and wise;
It's hurdle to be taken
Ere we sing a glad refrain
AS our weary hearts awaken
To Thanksgivin' once again.
