Traces Recovery
 Progress Thus Far

That does not mean. my friends, that I am satisfied, or that you arc satisfied that our work Is ended. We have long way to go, but We are on the way.
 How arc we constructing the edihcc of recovery - tho temple which, when completed will no longer De- temple of money changers or of beggars, but rather Il temple dedicated to and main- taincd for greater social justice, a greater welfare for America = tho habitation of a sound economic life?
 We are building, stone by stone, tho columns which will support that habitation. Those columns are many in number and though. for a moment. tho progress of ono col- umn may disturb tho progress on tho pillar next to 1t, tho work on all of them must proceed without let or hindrance.
 We all know that immediate re- lief for the unemployed was the first essential of such q structure, and that is why speak first of the fact that 300,000 young men have been given employment and are being SiNCu ChIpiOyihSht h'h tufVobh shso winter in tho Civilian Conservation Corps camps in almost every part of tho nation.
 so. too, we have, as you know, expended greater sums in co-opcr- ation with states and localities for work relief and home relief than over bcforc-sums which during the coming winter cannot bc les- scncd for the vcry simple reason thct though several million people have gone back to work, the neccs- sitics of those who have not yet obtained work is more severe than Ut this timo last year.
 Then we come to the relief that is being given to those who arc in danger of losing their farms or their homes. New machinery had to bc set up for farm credit and for home credit in every one of the 3.100 counties of the United States and every day that passes is saving homes and farms to hundreds of fs miles.

Father Saves Son
 From Jail Term
Aged Parent Pays Offspring's SIS Fine Imposed on
 Two Charges

A fine of $10 and costs was giv- en Paul Yuadsiruki, Al, of 5S1 North Riverside street in police court this morning when convicted on charges of intoxication and breach of the peace. His 72-year- old father saved the accused from going to jail by paying the me, which amounted to SIS.
 The arrest of Yuadsiruki followed a disturbance in his home. He de- nied the charges that he had struck his father, but admitted that he had pushed him down in- to a chair to prevent him from go. ing out. He admitted having had a few drinks and it became appar- ent to the court that the son didn't want the father to imbibe. Judge John F. McGrath was un- able to find any provocation for the son being so rought with the father and imposed the fine.
 The case of John Mottalini, 46, of 33 Lafayette street was contin- ued until Wednesday morning. He

Washington, Oct 2s--fhe text of President Roosevelts radio speech last night was as follows:
 It is three months since ! have talked with the people Of this country about our national prop lems; but during this period many things have happened, and am glad to say that the major part or them have greatly helped the we'll being of the average citizen.
 Because, in every step whtcn your government is taking we are fhinkinr in terms of the average or you-in the old words, ''the great est good to the greatest number- we. as reasonable people, cannot expect to bring definite benefts to every person or to every occupa- ton or business, or industry orsas- riculture.
 In the same way, no reasonbale person can expect that in this short space of time, during which new machinery had to be not only put to work, but first set up, that every locality in every one of the forty. eight states of the country could share equally and simultaneously in the trend to better times.
 The whole picture, howeyer- the average of the whole territory from coast to coast, tho average or the whole population of 120,OOe,- 900 peoplc-shows to any person, willing to look, facts and action of wnich you and I can be proud.
 Tn the early spring of this year there were actually and ,propor- tionatcly more people out of work in this country than in any other nation in the world. Fair estimates showed twelve or thirteen millions unemployed last March. Among those there were, of course. several millions who could be classcd as normally unemployed-people who worked occasionally, when they felt like 1t, and others who prefer red not to orwork at all.
 It seems, therefore, fair to say that there were about 10,000,000 of our citizens who earnestly, and in many cases hungrlly. were seek ing work and could not get 1t. Of these. in the short space of a few months, I am convinced that at least 4,000,000 have been given cmployment--or, saying 1t another way. 40 per cent of those seeking work have found It.

control of the gold value of our dollar. This is necessary in order to prevent dollar disturbances from swinging us away from our ultimate goal, namely, the contin- ued recovery of our commodity prices.
 As a further effective means to this end, am going to establish a government market for gold in the United States. Therefore. un- der the clearly defined authority of existing law, I am authorizing the Reconstruction Finance Corpora ton to buy gold newly mined in the United States at prices to be determined from time to time af- ter consultation with the secretary of the treasury and the president. Whenever necessary to the end In view, we shall also buy or gell gold in the world market.
 My aim in taking this step Is to establish and maintain continuous control.
 This is a policy and not an ex- pedient.
 It is not to be used merely to offset a temporary fall in prices. We are thus continuing to move towards managed currency.
 You will recall the dire predic- tiohs made last spring by those who did not agree with our com- mon policies of raising prices by direct means. What actually hap pened stood out in sharp contrast with those predictions. Govern ment credit is high, prices have risen in part.
 Doubtless, prophets of evil still exist in our midst. But government credit will be maintained and sound currency will accompany a rise in the American commodity price level.
 have told you tonight the story of our steady but sure work in building our common recovery. In my promises to you, both before and after March 4, made two things plain-first, that l pledged no miracles, and, second. that would do my best.
 I thank you for your patience and your faith. Our troubles will not be over tomorrow, but we are on our way and we are headed in the right direction.

WAIT TO LOOK Y0UNG7

The secret of keeping young is to feel young--to do this you must watch your liver and bowels there's no need of having a sallow complexion--dark rings under your eyes--pimples--ab bilious look in your face-dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell You ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver.

SMART MAN PASSED
 MANY BAD CHECKS
Pretended He Was Inter- ested in First Baptist
 Church Supper

A check-up is being made by detectives on the activities of a bad check passer,l who apparently realized a neat sum here Satur- day. Representing himself as a member of 8 purchasing commit tee. the swindler on ordering SUD- plies for a supper gave Q check in payment and ordered the mer- chandise delivered to the First Baptist church, which he claimed was sponsoring the event. The use of the church's name influenced several to accept tho order as well as the check. Tn one or two in- stances tho checks were refused as the storekeepers had no extra change to spare.
 The police have yet to learn to what extent the chap realized money on his scheme.

Arsenic Chickens

and Food Inspector pr P. T. Keel- ey went into huddle on this par ticular angle and believed the fears of the police and MT Aldrich with the statement that it is possible that the chickens if eaten would make the eaters i'll, but no serious consequences need be feared. The six chickens have been fed arsenic at various intervals since Septem- Der 1st and had their last portion only last Saturday. They disap- peared yesterday. Word was sent to the police and today the warm ing was made public concerning the arsenic.
 MT Aldrich did not confide in the authorities as to the nature of his experiment, chickens and arsenic, but he was anxious to have the person responsible for their disap- rearance be given a little inside information" as, to what he was eating or contemplating eating.

If chicken soup made anyone with a guilty conscience i'll yester- day, the patient will be interested to learn that instead of soup he had an arsenic cocktail. And if the sickness and the uneasy conscience will prompt the return of stolen chickens to Frederick Aldrich of Pear street. Platt's Mills, he and the police will forget the incident.
 Mir Aldrich in reporting the theft of his chickens showed more con cern for the thief than for his teathered pets, for as he hastened to inform tho police his chickens have been on an arsenic diet for the past six weeks.

Not Yet Satisfied
 With Farm Prices

do not hesitate. to say, in the simplest, dearest language of which I am capable, that, although the prices of many products of the farm have gone up and although many farm families arc better off than they wero last year, am not satisfied either with tho amount or tho extent of the rise. and that 1t is definitely a part of our policy to increase tho rise and to extend 1t to those products which have as yet felt no benefit. If we cannot do this one way we will do 1t another. Do 1t we will.
 Standing beside the pillar of tho farm-theAAA--i is tho pillar of industry--the MIRA. It's object is to put industry and business workers into employment and to increase their purchasing power through increased wages.
 It has abolished child labor. It has eliminated the sweatshop. It has ended 60 cents week paid in some mills and 80 cents Q week paid in some mines. The measure of tho growth of this pillar lies in the total figures of unemployment, which I have already given you, and in the fact that unemployment is continuing and not stopping.
 The secret of NRA is co-opera- ton. That cooperation has been voluntarily given through the sign ing of the blanket codes and through the signing of specific codes which already include all of the greater industries of the na- tion.
 In the vast majority of cases. in the vast majority of localities, the MIRA has been given support in un- stinted measure. We know that therc are chiselers. At the bottom of every case of criticism and ob- struction wc have found some sell fish interest, some private axe to grind.
 Ninety per cent of complaints came from misconception. For ex- ample, 1t has been said that MIRA has failed to raise the price of wheat and corn and hogs; that MIRA has not loaned enough money for local public works. 4l
 Or course, MIRA has nothing whatsoever to do with the prices of farm products, nor with public works. It has to do only with in- dustrial organization for economic planning to wipe. out unfair prac. tices and to create unemployment.
 Even in the field of business and industry, MIRA does not apply to the rural communities or to towns of under 2,600 population, except in so far as those towns contain factories or chain stores which come under Q specific code.

Cooperation of
 Farmers Hailed

Another pillar in the making is the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-. ministration, have been amazed by the extraordinary degree of CO., operation given to the government by the cotton farmers in the south, the wheat farmers in the west, the tobacco farmers of the southeast, and I am confident that the corn hog farmers of the middle west will come, through In the same magnificent fashion.
 The problem we seek to solve had been steadily getting worse for twenty years but during the last six months we have made more rapid progress than any no- ton has ever made in like period of time.
 It is true that in July farm com prices had been pushed up higher than they are to-day, but that push came in part from pure speculation by people who .could not tell you the difference between wheat and rye, by people who had never seen cotton growing, by peo- pie who did not know that hogs were fed on corn-people who have no real interest in the farmer and his ra.oblens.
 Tn spite, however, of tho specu- lative reaction from the specula- lative advance, it seems to be we'll established that during theh course of the year 1893 the farmers of tho United States will receive 33 per cent more dollars for what they have produced than they re- ceived in the year 1892.
 Put in another way, they will receive $400 in 1898 where they received $500 the year before. That. remember. is for the average of the country. for have reports that some sections are not any better off than they were a year ago.
 This applies among the major products, especially to cattle rais- ing and the dairy industry. Wc are going after those problems as fast aS we con.

Governments Policies Reiterated

Finally, repeat,
 Finally, repeat what have said on many occasions, that ever since last March the definite policy of the government has been to re- store commodity price levels.
 The object has been the attain ment of such a level as will enable agriculture and industry once more to give work to the unemployed.
 It has been to make possible the payment of public and private debts more nearly at the price level at which they were incurred.
 It has been gradually to restore a balance in the price structure so that farmers may exchange their products for the products of indus- try on a fairer exchange basis.
 It has been and, is also the pur- pose to prevent prices from rising beyond the point necessary to att tain these ends. The permanent welfare and security of every class of our people ultimately depends on our attainment of these pur- poses.
 Obviously, and because hundreds of different kinds of crops and inc dustrial occupations in the huge territory that makes up this na- ton are involved, we cannot reach the ogal in only a few months. We may take one year or two years or three years.
 No one who considers the plain facts of our situation believes that commodity prices, especially agri- cultural prices, are high enough yet.
 Som people are putting the cart before the horse. They want a permanent revaluation of the dol lar first. It is the governments policy to restore the price level first. I would not know, and no one else could tell, just what the permanent valuation of the dollar will be. To guess at c permanent gold valuation now would certainly require later changes caused by later facts;
 when we have restored the price level, we shall seek to establish and maintain . dollar which will not change it's purchasing and debt- paying power during the suc- ceeding generation. said that in my message to the American dele gation in London last July. And I say it now once more.

Because of conditions in this country and because of events be- yond our control in other parts of the world, it becames increasingly important to develop and apply the further measures which may be necessary from time to time to control the gold value of our own dollar at home.
 Our dollar is now altogether too greatly influenced By the accidents of international trade, by the in- ternal policies of other nations and by political disturbance in other continents.
