Baby Gets Nice Hanky
from President Roosevelt

City folks are not the only ones
to gain favor and fame thru per-
sonal touch with the president.
The now customary hanky which
the president has been sending his
namesakes don't all go to the
jewellers in the Solid South, either.
On May 6, son was born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Enrica Rossi of
Richland. The son was named Mar
vim Delano. Shortly thereafter a
friend, Mrs. Newt Clark, sent
word of the momentous event to
the White House. Today, the auto
graphed hanky came, bearing the
inscription ITO my namesake,
from happy Franklin Delano
Roosevelt Days"

Carey Speed Boat Spills
Three in Icy Columbia

D. s. Carey of Kennewick, Ed
mund Behrman Of Walla Walla
and Miss Lucille Greenwood Of
Pasco had a narrow escape from
death Sunday afternoon while in
the Carey motor boat on the swol-
len waters of the Columbia river.
The boat was reported to have hit
a whirlpool and upset. Paul Schla-
gel of Pasco, with his motor boat
was able to rescue the spilled occu-
pants after they had been in the
water about ten minutes, accord
ing to spectators, of whom there
were several hundred on the river
bank but helpless to give aid.
Behrman was unconscious when
taken from the water and requir-
ed first aid treatment. None Of the
three this week reported any ill
effects, excepting shock from their
unexpected icy bath.

FORMER STAR
BATTED OF
PITCHERS BOX
KenneWick's Former Hurler is
Pulled as Old Team Mates
Find" Him; Best Game in
Years; Player Hurt

Kennewick beat Pasco z to a
with Records in the box for Pasco
by steller relief pitching by John
ny Hoffman, who allowed but 8
hits, after relieving Rose with 2
out, on in the 3rd inning. He went
to work and had Pasco's hard hit
ers swinging at fast balls, slow
balls and hooks with some of the
best pitching seen on the local
grounds in years, only Michalis,
Records and Ellison were able to
connect safely in the six plus in
nings.
lPasco went to work early and
in the 3rd showed over two runs
on 8 hits and 8 walks, but Kenne-
wick came back in their half to
score three. Hoffman doubled for
Kennewick's first hit, scored on
Evett's single; Anderson walked
and Ellis tripled.
Pasco tied it up in the 18th on Ell
lison's hit and error. Kennewick
again forged ahead in the sixth
when Ellis doubled, Clark doubled,
Hill Walked and Simmelink sim
gled. Pasco scored another in the
7th on a outfield error and q
double by Michalis. Kennewick's
last run came in the 7th when
Record hit Anderson, Evett ran
for him went to End on passed ball
and scored on Clark's second triple
of the game.
In the 9Th Hunt ana Hoffman
singled and Record was relieved by
Howton amid the roar Of about
500 Kennewick fans. Pasco show
ed one of the strongest teams
seen here in years and but for
good pitching by Hoffman and
some hard hitting by Clark, Ellis,
Evett, Hoffman and Simmelink,
would have most certainly gone
home with the bacon.
The two teams play again the
4th on the Pasco field, the ar
rangement having been made be-
fore the Decoration Day game
when Pasco played here, which was
before it was known that Kenne-
wick would celebrate. Kennewick
has bye Sunday and play Wapa-
to next at Wapato, then close the
last half here against Sunnyside
the following Sunday. Kennewick
won the first half and will play
the winners Of the last half as
soon as the winner is assured

Here's a Chance to
Earn Ten Big Dollars

Someone has been raising hob
with the greens out at the golf
course. Cups have been wantonly
dug up, the sweepers flung away
or destroyed and other destruction
of property made. Local golfers
are becoming annoyed-no less
and a reward has been posted of
ten dollars for the arrest and con-
viction of the culprits. .,s-
Ten dollars is a lot of money
these times, but the golf club is
determined to have this annoying
practice stopped. There is abso-
lutely no excuse for such destruc-
ton of property, they say, and
prosecution will be pushed vigor-
ously if the culprits can be spot
ted.

DISTRICT TO
HAVE DISPLAY
AT PORTLAND
Kennewick and Pasco to Show
Products to Oregonians in
p. p. & L. Show Windows;
Try for Road Work

Offer of one of the big display
windows in the P. p. & L general
office building in Portland to the
local Chamber of Commerce, was
made by R. E. Skill at the regu-
lar meeting Of the club this noon.
Reservation of two weeks time
was made and it is likely that
Kennewick and Pasco will join in
making the display.
Mr.. Skill explained that the
company was Of the opinion that
such a display in Portland would
be of great value to the various
districts which the company serves
and the offer has been made to
each Of them. Hundreds of people
pass the windows each day, he
said, and the products Of this dis
trict could not fail to attract fav-
orable reaction. The company is
making no charge for the use of
the space and the matter of select
ing and making the displays was
left to the advertising committee
of the chamber.
The matter Of disseminating the
regular meetings during the sum-
mer months was discussed, but in
asmuch as there are several mat
tiers Of Importance to be accom-
plished by the club before fall, it
was decided to continue the lunch
con meetings.
Secretary Peters pointed out
that the work on the North Bank
road had given employment to $50
men, with an average Of five
weeks each, and had proved a vast
help in the local unemployment
The matter Of securing
funds for the completion of the
road into Kennewick has been un-
dertaken and will be pushed thru.
This work should prove q big
help in the work line for this
fall and winter.

If your bathing suit is a pref
ty one, show it on the Fourth of
July-and maybe you'll win a
prize. But don't wear it while
hanging on the running board of
car. If you do, something dis
agreeable might happen therefrom.
Chief of Police Bert Moores says
the practice Of riding to the
swimming hole on the running
boards must cease, as there is a
decided danger while crossing the
bridge.

Peril From Above.

From the Dayton Daily News.
In New Jersey an airplane operated
by the National Guard lost headway
and crashed to the ground. 1t had two
occupants, both Of whom were killed.
Such crashes are not uncommon, and
usually the occupants Of the fallen ma
chine are, Is in this case, killed.
This airplane accident went beyond
the accustomed casualties. Instead of
falling into tree or field, this airplane
crashed into a house occupied by five
people. The house was wrecked, then
set on fire and all the people within
were crushed or burned to death.
There was forced landing of q plane
in q Texas town recently where a SINH
lar tragedy was but narrowly averted
The tragedy at Shrewsbury, N. j., has
had, as q matter Of fact, numerous pred
ecessors. As the air fills UP with air
craft there are sure to be plenty more

fly over cities freely with q certainty
that, If one Of them fell, a great de-

It is not too soon to be thinking Of

When Professors Disagree.

II Is not unusual for professors to
disagree. It is one Of the prerosatives
Of acknowledgements associated
with professors-to disagree violently.
And, as James P. Warburg told the
American Academy of Political Sci
ence Wednesday night, there is usually
to be found in every country a pro-
fessor with a perfect theory of money.
The fact that Prof Sprague and
Prot. Fisher do not agree on the Com
modify dollar" Is not surprising despite
the fact that each of them has at
tanned professional eminence by deep
study Of the same subject. These two
gentlemen. it appears, have disagreed
before. In 1929 Prof. Sprague, &C.
cording to the Wall Street Journal and
the New York Times, warned the Fed
eral Reserve Board against an expan-
sion Of credits which he believed had
gone too far and urged curbs against
speculation. Prof. Fisher was quoted in
1929 q saying that stock prices are
not too high and Wall Street will not

An Historical Attack.

Alfred E. Smiths attack upon the
administration monetary policy is
likely to be historical Either 1t will
have its part IN halting the tinkering
with the dollar which has been under
taken or it will add to the rift now
growing in the Democratic party over
the currency question. When the two
most widely known and most widely
supported members Of the Democratic
party are at odds, as are the President
and the former Governor of New York,
the rank and file are likely to split
into two camps That is the political
aspect Of the situation now created by
the vitriolic remarks Of Mr.. Smith. re-
marks far more severe in character
than any that he uttered in 1928 when
he himself was a candidate for the
President and had as his opponent q
Republican, Herbert Hoover.
Despite the known antagonism and
the personal feeling existing OH the part
of Mr. Smith. to charge him with a de-
sire to split the Democratic party would
be ridiculous. The former New York
Governor has never been successfully
accused of seeking to elevate himself
by betraying the interests. of the man
who works. In his statement attack
ing the Roosevelt administration pol
low II rI; he hof h.
ably he would be charged with having
sold out to Wall Street. But the fol-
lowers of Alfred E. Smith will resent
such an imputation.
The President has made no reply, SO
far, to the statement of Mr.. Smith
However, the President undoubtedly
will have many vigorous defenders.
There has been an cutlery from vari-
Gus sections Of the country, particu-
larly the West and the South. for
currency imitation. 1t was this de-
mand that forced the adoption of the
Thomas imitation amendment at the
last session of Congress. giving the
President the very powers over the cur
rency which he is now exercising. The
battle is only. beginning. More and
more there has been an effort to align
the people of the South and the people
of the West in the ranks of the Demo-
cratic party. With New Yorker at the
head of the party today it seems in
credible that such political maneuver
will be pressed. And yet, it becomes
increasingly apparent that the. democ-
racy of North and East. as represented
by Alfred E. Smith, is out of line with
the money policy of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. What this means politi-
cally-and eventually every economic
question in this country resolves itself
into politics-may be determined when
the congressional elections are held
next year.

Survey of Canadian Banks.
From the San Jos. Mercury Herald

From the San Jose Mercury Herald
Every ten years the Canadian banking
act is revised in the light Of the experi-
ence Of 49, 0cade. The object Of this
periodic .:Ady is to cure any defects
that may have appeared and improve
the service.
The time has arrived for another
survey. Although the Canadian banks
have weathered the depression without
a single failure or the loss of a single
penny by depositors, the government
has appointed commission to inyesti-
gate and recommend such rey,sions as
1t deems desirable. Not q single poll
tician appears on 1t. A banker OF inter
national reputation. q DISTINGUISHED
financier. an eminent jurist industrial
and agricultural leaders familiar with
the economic problems OF the country
comprise 1t.
The announcement Of the members
created no stir in politics. The public
regarded the task as one for experts
having a wide experience in practical
affairs. There was no suspicion that
the representatives Of big business would
betray the trust imposed In them.
The Canadian government has ALWAYS
kept in close touch with financial and
industrial leaders. It has never had
any fear Of the money power. The
soundness Of its banking system, the
security depositors enjoy, Is evidence
tending to prove that the business ap-
proach to economic problems n more
successful than the political approach.
Perhaps the old saying that "treating 4
man as thief makes him q thief" has
some application.

were apparently no nearer perfect
unison than today.
But, leaving aside matters upon which
there is violent disagreement. 1t Is rea-
sonable to suppose that there might
be universal agreement upon at least
one statement in DIR. Sprague's letter
Of resignation:
An advance in prices that has any
promise Of being maintained requires
the DEVELOPMENT of conditions that VII
permit sustained demand for more
labor and more materials.
1t is natural. If unfortunate, that the
amount Of emphasis placed upon the
Presidents monetary experiment has
almost completely overshadowed other
experiments. With good reason, many
believe that the furor over threatened
the gyrations Of an artificially depressed
dollar, II they do not create . panicky
state Of mind. will detract from the
value of other generally approved ef-
forts toward sound recovery. The great
est Of these Is the liquidation as soon as
possible Of the billion or more dollars Of
frozen bank deposits; the wage increases
and Unemployment under N. r. A., and
the processing tax designed to increase
the demand for farm products while In
creasing the purchasing power of the
farmers. These things, if successful,
will permit a sustained demand for
more labor and more materials and
one does not need a college degree or
great fame as an economist to appreci-
ate the truth Of DR.. Sprague's state
ment that upon such elements depends
the permanence Of a rise in prices.
The diversion of public thought from
efforts that people understand and
support to the always abstruse and
sometimes terrifying subject of money
and what might happen to it is, aside
from the merits or dement's Of debatable
theories. an unhappy circumstance. The
sooner it is remedied the better.
