pacity for greatness was pitiful.
Such administrations that have pass
ed out in the last twelve years, left
as a legacy, the contribution of
corrupt machine politics that Mr..
Roosevelt is wrestling with might,
and to place back upon the highway
of commercial prosperity. Con-
sciousness of such a task must be
appalling to the one who is possess
ed of such an inestimable character.
to know his duties to his fellow men
or favor.
The burden left to lot of Presi-
dent Roosevelt is reconstruction
of the methods of government f.
nancial system, to suit the demands
of existing conditions. Such a task
requires theory, if not knowl-
edge of the whole governmental in
stitution: it is certainly one of vast
magnitude, which the short time of
two months has abundantly proved.
The fundamental principles of Pres
1dent Roosevelt's policy. comprise
two principal measures-the aban-
donment of the gold standard, and
a large credit expansion which if
carried out according to the presi-
dents charted course, will lift this
government from it's fallen condi-
ton, and hush the threnody Of pow

! ing about man who had died, and
they were unable to get a minister
to conduct the funeral. The sales
man told them that he would do the
job for them, and he did, and they
heard something. Glen Peoples, a
brother Of Rev. George Peoples of
Reinersville, who lives at Pleasant
City, and is employed by the Ohio
Fuel and Gas Co., took the pulpit
here for Rev. Ray Huff, and we
heard something. Too many of us
can't even get one thing done well.
Since an investigation of the ILL
fated Akron has been made, it seems
to us that it would be good idea
to finish up such things on the
ground, before starting up in the
air with them.
Evidently people here are expect
ing this to be 'fat" rather than a
'lean" year. In plain view of where
we write, there is one of the richest
and most productive spots of ground
for rent, and it is growing up in
weeds, and at the same time people
are wanting something to do. Queer
world.
We recall a period of hard times
several years ago, when it was not
an uncommon sight to see a boy
Juggling all the old scrap iron he
could carry to country store,
where he would probably receive as
much as fourth of cent per
pound for his trouble. Or perhaps,
he would be packing a sack of dry
animal bones which he had gather
ed up here and there, that would
bring him few coppers. Nothing
of the kind now days. Why? The
great-gaping mouth and nav of big
business has swallowed up the many
little ways of earning money.

THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEMS
AND WHAT WILL THE
ANSWER BE
(By L. J. Coffman)

Trade is social act. Whoever
undertakes to sell any description oi
goods to the public, does what af-
fects the interest of other persons
and of society in general. 1t was
once held to be the duty of govern
ments, in all cases, which were con-
sidered cases of Importance. to fix
| prices, and regulate the process of
manufacture. We can realize the
/ fact, and readily recognize, after a
! long struggle, that both the cheap
ness and the good quality of COM
modities are most effectually pro-
! vided for by leaving the producers
and sellers perfectly free, with a
/ perfect freedom of the buyer to buy
where and when he pleases to do SO.
Such condition of freedom as
mentioned above, should exist today,
but instead everything that enters
into the convenience and economy
of the lives of mankind is taxed to
the limit, in fact the revenue on
many things essential, is more than
the cost of production of the article
taxed. This is restriction on
trade, and restraint on trade is an
evil, and the evils that spring out
Of taxation on the commodities, and
the very necessities of life, are the
in nj hn
ket. Every means is invented, so
the manufacturer can compete in
the open market, and show a profit
on his sales. We wonder if the sus-
pension of the gold standard will
raise the price level which will re-
duce purchasing power of the dol
lar, when we have reached the new
price level, and is stabilized at that
level and the gold value of the dol
with other currencies. This will
coincide with section two as writ
ten in the text of the imitation mea-
sure. Mr.. Roosevelt, whom we are
sure possesses superlative grade of
intelligence and high intellect, real |
powers and moral courage, has
charted course for this govern
ment, that will correct the mistakes |
and abuses, If steered by men who /
have the country's welfare at heart,
provided the ship of state does not |
fall into the hands of the old guard |
who still stand watch over the pet
rified corpse of the gold standard
The major part of men are short
sighted and capricious in their po-
litical actions, moved by passion,
and selfish interests; inferior their
ideals, intellectual and moral, COM
pared to those who are capable Of
keeping up the high standard of
government; the socialistic element
that has opposed every measure pro-
posed by President Roosevelt. While
they claim all the immunities and
rights of political power, they blind
ly follow the INSCRIPTIONS leader
ship of demagogues and scoundrels,
and thereby fail to sponsor con-
structive legislation, when the op-
portunity presents. Such men in
high places are humiliating to the
