CONFIDENCE

THE ONLY thing which this country
L has to fear is fear itself-unjusti-
fled terror, which paralyZes effort"
1t was the new President of the United
States speaking Saturday in his inaugu-
raj address to the country.
His statement was followed by an ex-
preston of his belief that the nation
will find the way to work out of its pres
ent disaster, if it replaces fear with con-
fidence-eonfidence in his leadership and
in the ability of the United States to sur
mount any obstacle.
What he said relative to fear was true
Saturday and is even more so today,
following his declaration of national
bank moratorium for the next four days.
If ever there was a time when conf
dence is essential, we are now living in it.
We cannot help but feel that the new
President has been given the confidence
of the nation. The overwhelming vote he
received at the polls last November was
the first evidence of their faith in him.
The diabolical attack made upon his life
in the middle of February, served only
to draw the people closer to him, and
proximity cannot help but breed and in
crease confidence. Again he was brought
nearer to the people when their SYM

of death reached out and claimed one
of his most valued aides, who was to
hold high office in the new administra-
ton
Finally, his inaugural address
brought a confidence in him where it had
not hitherto existed. None could hear or
read that address without feeling that
here was a man confident, unafraid, even
in the face of gigantic task but at the
same time humble enough to confess
publicly that without the help of his
countrymen and Divine Providence, his
efforts must fail.
If there is anything beneficial in psy-
chology, the new administration ought
to be successful. 1t is confident of itself
and it breeds confidence in it.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that confidence
alone will not bring victory. 1t must be
backed up by action = decisive action.
That he is giving the country splendid
example of what he breaches is seen in
the decision made yesterday for a mora
torium. This is action swift and certain.
Far from stampeding the country 1t
should stimulate all to keep and strength
en- their confidence in the leader. follow
him and work with him. Following such
a course cannot fail to bring ultimate
success.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S FUNNY
SLED

What is the matter, Uncle Wig
gily?" buzzed a red-spoSed Squig-
gle Bug one day as he flew in the
open window of the rabbit gentle
mans hollow stump bungalow. I'm
Gle Wiggily had the window open
TO see if the weather was getting
any warmer, which would be a
sure sign that Spring was coming.
why are you SO sad?" asked the
Squiggler.
do I look sad?" asked Uncle
Wiggily, taking a few grains OF
sugar from the bowl on the table
to feed the red-spotted bug
VERY sad,' was the answer. Il

sad is that I just had lot of fun

that the parade is over I feel un-

said Uncle Wiggily, Il think l can.
I might fill the dishpan drum full
of rice pudding and take it to a
poor old goat lady who has no rice
pudding of her own
Fine and dandy" cried the
| Squiggle Bug Come on! Where's
the rice pudding to put i'll the dish
| pan?"
II guess Nurse Jane will have to
make the rice pudding" said Uncle
Wiggily, twinkling his pink nose.
"Pll do that" promised the
! muskrat lady housekeeper, and
soon she had made a wonderful
rice pudding filled to the top with
, raisinS on one side and no raisins
On the other side.
1T may be-" said urse Jane, that
i that the poor goat lady doesn't
| like raisins in her rice pudding. If
she doesn't, she eats the side
where there are none. But if she
does like raisins she mixes the two
sides of the pudding together and
| there she ISL
How jolly" said Uncle Wiggily
SO away he hoped over the fields
and through the woods, up hill and
down hill, to the house of the poor,
old goat lady carrying the rice pud-
ding in the dishpan while the
Squiggle Bug snuggled down in one
of the rabbit gentleman's pockets
and had a fine ride.
"Oh, what a lovely rice pudding!"
bleated the goat lady when Uncle
Wiggily showed it to her How
happy you have made mel"
And am happy, too" said I'm
Gle Wiggily, smiling. All his sad
ness was gone.
What did 1 tell you?" whispered
the squiggle Bug. Happiness is
catching"
so it is,'' said Uncle Wiggily.
THANK you, Squiggler."
The rice pudding was taken out
of the dishpan and Uncle Wiggily
and the Squiggle Bug started back
home. the rabbit carrying the pan.
They had not gone far before they
came to a snow hill.
"Oh, let's have a coaSt!" buzzed
the Bug.
How can we coast down hill
when we have no sled?" asked the
rabbit.
"The dishpan will do nicely for Il
sled" said the Bug. Lets sit in
it and slide down hilll"
"Ha! Hal What a funny sledl'
laughed happy Uncle Wiggily. But
maybe we can have some fun i'll
it," He and the Squiggler were go

something happened. Ill tell you
about it tomorrow night when the
story will be about Uncle Wiggily

Certain new provisions are con-
tanned in the revenue act of 1882
under the above mentioned head
ing limiting the deduction for loss
es sustained on the sale or ex-
change Of stocks and bonds which
are not capital assets-that is,
which have not been held for a
period of mere than two years. In
accordance with the limitation,
such losses may be deducted only
against gains from similar tran
sactions for the year, although the
amount Of the excess of such loss
disallowed as a deduction for the
year 1892 may be carried forward
and taken as a deduction against
gains from similar transactions for
1882. 1t is also to be noted that
such loss may not be offset against

The aforementioned limitation

WASHINGTON, March 6. UH-
Strange are the sources of news and
the workings thereof Otherwise,
the world never>might have known
about the attempt to deliver
bomb into the lap of Franklin De-
lano Roosevelt.
? A messenger boy was dispatched
from a Washington office with i'm
portant mail which necessitated
personal negotiations at the main
post office. While there he over
heard a discussion of the bomb and
learned the name of the addressee.
His business finished, the boy
proceeded to Washington news
paper office to report a bowling
match in which he had partici-
pated As he finished telling his
story, he observed:
Il suppose that bomb story has
got everybody in the city room
pretty busy
"Oh, sure agreed the impas-
Sionate sports department head.
1T ought to create quite a stir,
oughtn't it?" persisted the young
bowler.
"Absolutely-but say, just wait
a minute, will you?"
Just on the hunch that the itin-
Grant boy might know something
the sports editor conferred with
the city editor and the boy was
rushed into the news room, where
all hung on his words. Having told
all he deemed important, the boy
went on his way and reporters be-
gan running down the clues.
A few minutes later the boy re-
appeared and said:
! oh, say, I forgot to tell you
that the bomb was addressed to
Roosevelt"

NEGROES AND THE CONSTITUTION

WORTHY of commendation indeed is
W the action of the Negro Elks in spon-
soring a national oratorical contest on
the constitution of the United States, the
sectional contest of which was held Sat
urday night in connection with the con-
vention of the order now in session here.
Study of the constitution-always a
worthwhile undertaking for any Ameri-
can-always brings its own reward, even
though no intrinsic prize may come from
such effort
Encouraging school students to know
the constitution is one of the highest
forms of patriotism, far surprising
many lesser ones which are often extend
ed value beyond their real worth
When it is remembered that the con-
stitution as originally written gave no
status TO the Negro, and that three
amendments to it were necessary before
he was accorded his present rights of
citizenship, it is a splendid proof of Ne
gro Americanism for Negro organiza-
tion to foster a movement having for its
object greater knowledge of, and respect
for, the fundamental law of the land.
1t is not to be inferred that the Negro
has needed to give proof of his Ameri-
canism Such is not the case Despite
the injustices to which he has too often
been subjected and is subjected the Ne
gro is thoroughly American, proud of his
country and loyal to it.
Thousands of Negro youths through
out the land are studying the constitu-
ton. Whether they win prizes or not is
immaterial. They will gain by. their
studies and cannot help but be an influ-
ence for good in the advancement of their
race.
The young men and women who parti-
cipated here, showed a splendid knowl-
edge of the constitution. The same can
diubtless be said of contestants in other
sections. They are credit to them
selves and their instructors and reflect
in highly favorable manner on the or
ganization which has made their contest
possible.

over the Athletics in series which the
Giants took, Al, and which was, incl
dentally, the first and only one in which
Matty starred, although an unkind fate
stepped in to rob him seven years later.
Then came 1906 and an obscure utility
player on the White Sox moved into the
king row as great Cub team went down
before their municipal rivals from South
Chicago. With George Davis, the regu-
lar shortstop of the Sox out of commits
sion, Lee Tannehill moved over from
third and George Robe took his place.
In the fifth inning of the first game,
with miner" Brown pitching, Robe
caught one high and inside for three
bases, and scored on an error by King,
to put the Sox in front. Eventually, they
got 2-1 decision, Nick Altrock, who was
doing quite we'll with his left arm in
those days, holding the Cubs in check.
In the third game Robe came up in the
sixth inning to find the bases loaded and
two down. Killing, attempting to out
guess the batter, told him not to look
for any more in his groove, then sig
nailed Jack Pfiester for a shoulder high
pitch. Robe, anticipating just such a
move, stepped in and swung, and when
the ball was returned to the infield.
three runs were over, breaking score
less tie, and the game was won On that
same club was another now-prominent
Washingtonian, who, unlike Atrock, has
long since laid aside the spangles-G.
Harris White, better known as "Doc."
The next two years saw the Cubs func-
tioning with such machine-like preci-
sion against badly outplayed Detroit
teams that there were no particular
standouts, 1907 witnessing four straight
Chicago victories after a tie in the
opener, and 1908, almost repetition, the
Tigers winning but one, despite the
presence in the lineup of Ty Cobb. star

year that Fred Merkle's failure to touch

league flag.

away for the impending imbroglio.
Since the two major leagues started
three decades ago to toss their annual
winners into the post-season arena for the
gold and glory accruing therefrom, the
base ball world has watched the emer-
gence from the field of battle of COM
batants surrounded with the glamour
that is the lot of favorites of fortune, or,
as happens, clad in the drab garb of the
luckless. Often the laurel leaves have
been reserved for an unknown, who,
fired to new zeal, reached the heights
in one bound, while the bar sinister fell
to some recognized star, for even the
great Babe Ruth whose titanic deeds in
latter years are epochal, has known
some dour moments in these events.
And while, over the long span since
the American and National Leagues
started playing, the Pepper" Martins
have outnumbered the SnodgrasseS,
there has been nothing more transitory
than the glory Of the Fall classics. The
acclaim of one year has brought answer
ing echoes of "boos" the next; cham
pions of today have found themselves
treading diamonds in the minors to-
morrow and, on occasion, valorous feats
have lived but few short hours because
they were linked with lost cause.
