Unconditional part your paper took
in helping to dispel needless fear
and panic, the result of which has
been a speedy restoration of public
confidence, not only in respect to
the financial affairs of the country.
but also strengthening of conf
dence in the entire economic and
business structure of the United
States.
Your editorials and news items on
the recent emergency banking situ-
alton were sane, unbiased, and con-
structive, and demonstrated that the
newspapers and their press services
are indispensable in keeping the
business public, as we'll as the lay
man, and readers in remote sections,
fully and speedily informed on rap
idly moving events in any crisis, as
we'll as in the multiplying ordinary
daily affairs of life.

to the article in your paper,
Teacher Bars Suspenders."
think that principal went a little
too far in not allowing that boy
to wear suspenders without a coat
I don't know the boy, but I can
imagine how proud lad of II
would be on that particular morn
ing, dressed like a college boy. AL
most all boys wear bright colors
in college and I think he chose
good taste in ordering dark red
ones to match the trousers. II
there is any one who detests the
looks Of suspenders, it is I, but I
think if the masculine sex wants to
wear them, it is their business.
1 think, along with lots of other
parents, that if some principals
and teachers would teach children
health habits, they would have
culture and the social graces. "
Nothing looks worse to me than
seeing a boy or man without a hat
in the winter and nothing more
uncultured than to see tots with
their bare legs showing on cold
winter day.
Most doctors will tell you to keep
those little knees warm for the
child to be healthy later on in life
Don't think I am an old fogie
I haven't a son, so that eliminates
me from being partial to boys.

It Seems
to Me
: BY HAYWOOD BRoUN

NEW YORK, March 21.-Ths
~ actors and the stagehands are
at odds. I never have been a stage
hand, and yet my s,mpathies go to
that group rather than to my own
As I understand it, the stagehands
are called upon to take a cut upon
the plea that unless they help tc
modify costs, most Of the plays in
town Will have to close. At the
moment their answer seems to be,
Let EN- close"
To many this attitude appears IL
rational, selfish. and without vision.
But the many are composed Of those
who do not understand the funda-
mental principles of trades union
ism. The stagehand is both logical
and courageous. for, in effect, he is
saying, Better sacrifice the Job
than the wage scale
1t is wholly unfair to say that he
is looking after himself at the eX-
pense Of others. The reverse is true.
The temptation to take a cut must
be. great. The stagehand does not
enjoy being out Of work. In that
situation he suffers more than the
average actor.
His refusal to take less than the
established rate is based upon his
feeling Of solidarity to the craft to
which he belongs.

FAIR ENOUGH, SENATOR

CAID Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, just
~ before he voted against the beer bill
"On moral question I propose to do what
my people ought to want me to do. If my peo-
pie don't like it, their remedy is to send some
body else here"
Fair enough, senator. The remedy in your
case will be at hand for the people of Ohio in
1884
And Indiana voters also will be given their
opportunity to take care of some congressman
who reason like Senator Fess, when next cleo
ton time rolls around.

Still for Stagehands

I HAVE heard it said in many
Il quarters which were highly
conservative that the only wav out
OF a depression was to preserve the
purchasing power. President Hoover
undertook to obtain voluntary
pledges from large employers not to
cut wages. That system did not
work well. Wages have been main
tanned at their old level only in the
industries where unions were strong
enough to say, Nevertheless. we
won't take a cut"
II all Of them had been as stead
last as the stagehands. we might
be better off economically right
now.
When Miss Peggy Fears begins to
weep into her ermines about the
poor players thrown out of work
am not impressed. I still am for the
stagehandS.

THE DAMAGE OF BANK FAILURES

(By j. NJ. Dalger, in Harpers Monthly
WE need to recognize frankly that we have
w done more to make money unsound, and
business or agriculture unsafe, in each year of
our bank-failure epidemic that we probably
should do in the next ten years if We resorted
to the fiat money initiation of such a scheme as
the bonus bill that was sensibly rejected last
summer.
And we need also to recognize frankly that
we should put an end to bank failures. and
to the disastrous defation that results from
them, not bv the negative palliative of a gov
ernmental guaranty Of deposits but by the
positive remedy of putting the aggregate
strength of all our commercial banks-the
banks that issue most of our national currency
Into a uniform system that shall be powerful
enough to render a governmental guaranty
superduous, and that shall itself establish

r DO not think President Roose-
L welt can be commended too
highly for his honest effort to
economic in the expenditures of
the national government, and I
feel he should have the whole
hearted support of every red
blooded American.
The expenditures of the veter-
ans bureau should not be over
looked, as this is a much larger
leak in the government expenses
than most people realize, and a
vast amount is paid to men who
have good jobs and have had all

My contention is that if a man
is able to hold down a good job
he is not disabled to a point where
he is entitled to additional help
from the government.

specific damage to the tissue it
self.
The physician uses an instru-
ment called the ophthalmoscope to
look into the eye and to observe any
changes that have occurred in these
tissues.
When the vision of the eye be-
comes diminished, and without any
pain, without any redness or in
fammation, the physician looks for
the cause.
Sometimes he sees changes in
the retina which indicate a system
ic disorder, such as diabetes, tuber-
culosis, and high blood pressure.
Obviously, that condition must be
taken care Of before any attempts
are made in relationship to the eye
itself.

When Little Arthur faces Paul V.

If the Indianapolis mob is as

1t is the unacceptable duty of every
American to Loyalty and whole
heartedly support President Roose-
welt.
He has become the leader of the
national government; he has be-
come the official spokesman of more
than 120,000,0O0 persons; he has be-
come the chief executive of a nation
which looks to him for the character
Of leadership which will bring order
out of the chaos which grips the
country.
Mr.. Roosevelt has ceased to be an
individual. He has become the lead
er of the American people and it
behooves every person not only to
recognize his leadership, but to ex-
tend to him whatever aid is
necessary to proper contamination
of the governmental policies which
he will espouse.
President Roosevelt was chosen
by an overwhelming vote of the
people. He was supported by both
Democrats and Republicans. He is
not indebted as partisan to any
group Of people, but is obligated
not only to uphold every tradition

previous President ever has been
forced to do-end the worst de-
preston in the history of the ma

He proposes reforms; he insists
upon sharp reductions in govern

resources of the Government, today
vas headed by a Democrat, Frank r
McNinch of North Carolina, having
been named yesterday to the chair
nanship by his associate commissioners
at the instance of President Roosevelt
The Chief Executive had asked and
received the resignation Of George Otis

DR.. Smith remains member Of the
commission, but reports are current
that this connection will be terminated
IN the next 90 days. His term does
not expire until June %, 1885.

support having been lent by the fact
that when Mr.. Roosevelt inspected the
Muscle Shoals development before his
Inauguration, he invited the latter to
accompany him.
Nothing to Fear"
McNinch, who has been vice chair
man since the Democratic victory, said
shortly after his appointment by Presi-
dent Roosevelt that mo honestly ad-
ministered power company has any
thing to fear from this commission
but crooked ones would do well to make
straight their paths
Smith made public simultaneously
with a letter from President Roosevelt
announcing the change, copy OF his
letter of resignation to the White
House, in which he said:
IT am prompted to take this steI
by my sincere wish to cooperate anc
my full agreemest with your natural
desire to have the head OF the COM
mission one Of your own selection.
President Roosevelt's letter to the
commission follows:
I'm view Of the resignation of George
Otis Smith, as chairman of the FED
eral Power Commission hereby desig-
nate Hon. Frank r. McNinch as chair
man and request the immediate con-
currence of this commission"
McNinch's designation as chairman
was confirmed promptly by the COM
mission by a unanimous vote with NC
Ninch not voting The commission
then selected Basil Manly Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, who was appointed
in May by President Roosevelt, as wee
chairman.
Smith to Continue Efforts.
Smith, who for months was the
center of a controversy with the Senate
over his right to the seat, in his letter
of resignation to Mr.. Roosevelt said
that while he remained on the commits
sion his change in duties would in mo
wise affect my continued endeavor to
promote the movement toward the bet
ter regulation of business which is SO
outstanding a policy of your admins
tration.'
: Smith was for nearly ,25 years di-
rector of the Geological Survey and
has been in the Federal service upward
Of 80 years, having gone into the survey
as a field assistant in the 1905. In

GOLD COMES BACK

There is a new attitude abroad in
the land
This began to be seen some weeks
ago, and came to elimination with the
bank holidays and their subsequent re-
opening. Where the average citizen was
once frankly dubious as to the future of
the country, he now believes that recovery
is in the process OF starting-that bottom
actually has been reached, and that we are
ready for the up-climb.
Partisan politics has been forgotten.
Practically unanimous support is being
given the Roosevelt administration by
newspapers and individuals of all shades
of political opinion.
The administrations stand ON gold
boarding is producing even better results
than were anticipated. When the banks
opened queues of people stood in lines at
tellers' windows-not to withdraw money,
but to deposit gold coin and certificates.
Hundreds of millions of dollars of gold has
been returned to circulation.
In Key West alone more than $4,000
of the yellow metal has been receive cd at
the First National Bank within the past IL
days, so VIM. r. Porter, informed The
Citizen Monday, and while this is an APP
preciable amount it undoubtedly does not
represent all the boarded gold in this city.
Generally, however, all over the United
States gold is coming out of boarding so
rapidly that it is even forecast the stipula-
ton requiring banks not to issue gold or
gold certificates without express permits
sion from the treasury department may be
removed within short time.
