demonstrated his political shrewdness.
He has genuine interest in national
problems. He has a charming wife
who appreciates her husband. He has
skill in handling men. He has in him
a vein of steel. When once he makes
a decision it stands.
He believes in the policy of placing
responsibility on man rather than
on a commission. This being true we
are. going to see new policy in gov
ernmental matters. How it will work
is to be seen.
It is said also that he considers
human interests above property inter-
ests. We hope this is true for such
is one Of the needs of the day in
which we live.
He comes into office with great
problems facing him. He comes to
office with more men unemployed in
the United States than any other
civilized nation. He comes into office
with a federal deficit that will soon be
two billions of dollars. He comes into
office with national and international
problems stacked mountain high. Just
how will he lead the country in the
greatest crisis since the Civil War :?
Millions are looking to him FOR help.
Forgotten Man Has Faith
A few days ago a man came to our
back door asking for something to
eat. I invited him in and he sat
down at the kitchen table. While he
ate his dinner I engaged him in a
conversation. I asked him if the men
to whom he talked from time to time
were looking for help and better
time under the new president. He
said they were. And how true it is
that millions like him are in reality
looking to the new president for help
and better conditions.
The book of Esther tells the dram
attic story how at certain time in
history the Jewish people were threat
ened with destruction. The king of
Persia had Jewess for his queen.
When the edict had been given by the
king for the destruction of Jews, Nor
decai appealed to Queen Esther to try
and save their people. In making his
appeal to the queen he used these
great words-"Who Knoweth Wheth-
er Thou Art Come to the Kingdom
for Such Time as This" The words
challenged the noble queen. She went
to the king with the words ringing
on her soul. She made the appeal
and her people were saved.
AS we think of Franklin d. Roose-
welt coming to power at this time, the
words used above have a peculiar
significance. We earnestly hope Mr..
Roosevelt has come to power for such
an hour as this in the worlds history.
We pray Gods blessing upon him as
he takes up his arduous task.

Life of Roosevelt In Brief

Born January 80, 1882 at Hyde Park,
New York, the son of wealthy par
ents who gave him unusual COM
partnership and every opportunity.
Entered Harvard law school in fall of
1900 after completing six year
course at Groton school in four
years.
At Harvard was candidate for foot
ball and rowing teams although he
did not attain glory in athletics.
Achieved distinction as editor OF
The Crimson, was member of many
clubs and popular with students.
He completed the four years course
in three years and returned for a
fourth year Of study of government
and international law.
March II, 1905 he married Anna
Eleanor Roosevelt, sixth cousin.
She is highly talented and has
achieved distinction in her own
right, first lady among first ladies.
They have three children living.
After his marriage he attended Col
umbia university two years and
was admitted to the New York bar
in 1907. He practiced law.
His debut in politics was made in
1910 when he accepted the nomina-
ton for the New York senate in a
strong Republican district, made a
vigorous campaign and won to the
surprise of his most ardent hackers.
His first senate battle was with Tam
many and he won after long fight.
He gained fame by refusing an ap-
preparation for his district which
he declared was not needed.
His achievements in New York led to
his appointment as assistant secre-
tary of the navy in the Woodrow
Wilson cabinet where he earned dis
tinction.
In 1920 he was nominated for vice
president on the Democratic ticket
with James A. Cox who was over
whelmingly defeated. Most men
would never have recovered polite
ally from such a defeat.
In 1921 he was stricken with infantile
paralysis and his lower limbs were
completely paralyzed.
A helpless cripple, he was lifted to
the rostrum of the Democratic con-

happen"
Mr.. Roosevelt as a grown up boy
had an ambition to go to Annapolis
to the United States Naval Academy.
This was prevented by a bad case OF
measles. After that he gave the idea
up. 1t is possible that world destinies
may be changed by that case OF
measles.
AS a young man he was rated as a
good student. When he took his en-
trance examination for Harvard Uni
versity he led one thousand other men.
He studied law at Harvard and at
Columbia.
He was married to his sixth cousin,
Miss Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, in 1905.
Mrs. Roosevelt received much of her
education abroad and is talented
and gifted woman in her own right.
They have family Of four children.
Defeated in 1920
Mr.. Roosevelt is a member of the
Protestant Episcopal church. He is
also an official member of the Hyde
Park church.
In 1920 he ran on the Democratic
ticket with James A. Cox for the vice
presidency. In that campaign it is
said that he made more speeches and
travelled more miles than any other
vice presidential candidate in history.
The ticket was defeated that fall. In
every thing he has gone into he has
been man of tremendous energy. He
has been called "a steam engine in
breaches.
When Josephus Daniels, who was
Secretary of the Navy under Wood
row Wilson, asked Franklin d. Roose-
welt how he would like to be his as
sistant, he replied "Pd just love it"
He is known as one of the most eff
cient men that the department has
ever had.
It is said that the two words, Gag
erness and determination, character
ize the man. He is eager in play and
in sports. He is eager in study. He
is eager in seamanship. He is eager
in politics. He is eager in the dis
charge of his duty. He is eager in
social reform. He is eager to keep
fit physically. He is eager to help
the 100000 who are afflicted as he
once was. Eagerness is to be seen
in his smile. Even his political OPP
ponents say that his smile is worth a
million dollars. This eagerness seems
to be always with him and his friends
say that it is real and not something
put on for show.
Has Many Assets
In the last campaign his champion
ing of the cause of the forgotten man
struck a responsive chord in the
hearts of millions of people. Millions
feel that they have been forgotten in
our capitalistic system. They are
looking to him to keep his word. The
question is being asked, "does he
really love mankind 2" Men who
know him best say that he is a real
lover of men and that he really wants
to serve. Time will make the test.
What are the assets of this man?
He has fine training enthusiastically.
He has a wonderful family back
ground. He has travelled extensive
ly. He has executive experience. He
has splendid mind. He has zest for
life. He has eagerness and determin-
alton. He has ambition. he has

A TEN-YEAR LAG in
REGULATION"

A recent event in Illinois shows
why utility corporations, especially
the predatory kind, are strong for
"state regulation" and fight every
proposal of national control.
On August 16, 1923-note that date
the Illinois commerce commission
ordered telephone rates in that state
reduced. Hearings had been held at
which the company was represented,
and presumably the order was just.

by the local federal agent.

Trade Union Mission

The trade union movement is limit

wide world. 1t has no place for ma
tional or radical prejudice. It's prin-

place, in its plan of uplifting human
ity, for all workers. 1t aims to make
men, women and children better,
brighter and happier by improving
the social, moral and economic con-
ditions which surround the homes of
the toiling masses. 1t widens their
intelligence, broadens their sympa-
thies, confirms their morals, and
builds up the spiritual in their lives.
1t has become the most practical ex-
ponent of the teachings of the great
founder of Christianity; it practices
them by feeding the hungry, caring
for the sick, burying the dead ane

Trade Union Results
In view of the great benefits that
trades unions have conferred upon
millions of homes in America, the
fact is astounding that there should
be any need of urging upon the work
ers the necessity of being true to
movement which has brought them
out of the industrial working condi-
ton of arbitrary command" on the
part of employers and "servile obe-
dience" on the part of the workers,
so universal few generations ago.
Such conditio mean only be account
ed for by the reason that the genera
ton which fought and won industrial
emancipation for the workers of
America has passed away and their
descendants do not appreciate the
heritage their forebears handed down
to them. The duty of every member
of the trades union movement is to
preach, in season and out Of season
what great things" the movement
has done for the workers and with
their help still greater things it i:

A REAL MAN

A real man never talks about what
the world owes him, the happiness ne
deserves, the chance he ought to have
and all that. All that he claims is
the right to live and play the man.
A real man is just as honest alone
in the dark, in his own room, as he is
in public. A real man does not want
pulls, tips and favors. He wants
work and honest wages.
A real man is loyal to his friends
and guards their reputation as his
own.
A real man is dependable. His
simple word is as good as his Bible
oath.

A real man never hunts danger, and

THINK RIGHT

Think smiles, and smiles shall be;
Think doubt, and hope will flee;
Think love, and love will grow;
Think hate, and hate you'll know.
Think good, and good is here;
Think vice-its jaws appear;
Think joy, and joy ne'er ends;
Think gloom, and dusk descends.
Think faith, and faiths at hand;
Think ill-it stalks the land.
Think peace, sublime and sweet,
And you that peace will meet.
Think fear, with brooding mind,
and failures close behind.
Think this: "I'm Going to Win!"
Think not of what has been.
Think "Victory"; think 81 Can!"
Then you're a Winning Man!

Wool Market

Boston, Dec 11-UP)-Stoclss of domestic wool available for pur- chase have been reduced to about 70, 100000 pounds. it was estimated by wool men today. This amounts to about two months supply for the mills, and as the new clip will not start arriving until about may the trend of foreign wool prices will be watched closely.
 Already, more than 52,000,O0H pounds of wool have been imported through Boston alone between July 1 and December ]. Apparently much more must be brought in.
 Business was relatively slow to- day. Prices were decvidedly strong, on the basis of 35-36 cents pound in the grease for Ohio and similar Delaine fine combing woo1s; the same for half-blood; 42-43 for three-eighths; and 41-42 for quar- ter-blood. Territory graded strictly staple fine combing wools sold at 85-S6 cents clean; half-blood, 82- 84; three-eighths, 81-S3; and quar- ter-blood, 72-74.
 The U. s. agriculture Department said: "The Boston wool market is firm, although trading generally is rather quiet. Recent inquiries have stimulated hopefulness of further buying in this market by manu- lecturers before the end of the years. Stocks of domestic wools appear in strong position which encourages a confident, waiting att titude. Estimated receipts of dom- estic wool at Boston, reported to the Boston Grain and flour ex- change during the week ending December 9, amounted to 388,4O0 pounds, compared with 7,827,90O pounds during the previous week"

 "A distinctly new element of structural strength Is being rapidly built into the banking situation through this movement, made pos- sible under the bankers code of fair competition" Rr Ransom says in his statement. For many years the American Bankers association has fostered the development among local bankers groups of CO., operative action aimed at bringing about sounder banking practices and conditions and eliminating un- sound methods of competition and business-getting devices through voluntary agreement. Great prog ress had been made along these lines in some parts of the country, but not so great as could be wished, but now under the bankers code, regardless of its emergency char acteristics, there has been set up the procedure and the machinery to bring about the desired condi- tion of cooperative sound banking on a nationwide scale.

 New York. Dec 11-(UP)- Stocks turned irregular in late profit-taking to-day after a rise of fractions to nearly 5 points in the early trailing.
 Dealings on the exchange quiet ed down on the decline from the highs and the dollar took the att tention of the financial community. It rose rapidly in terms of foreign exchange as talk Rehabilitation spread.
 Well-infromed French bankers said preliminary negotiations for stabilizing the dollar and pound and settlement of related currency problems have been discussed by tn federal reserve, the Bank of England and the Bank of France.
 The pound sterling dropped more than 2 cents and the French franc more than points. The dol lar reached 64.15 cents in terms of hte franc. against a close Saturday of 63.4 cents.
 During early dealings a long list of high-grade issues made new highs for the year or longer. These included Allied Chemical at 154 1-2 up 0-4, ALldS tASk dt % I-S up 1-4; American woolen preferred GA 1-2 up 5-S; Chrysler 53 3-S up 3-8: Continental Can 76 3-4 up 7-8; Du Pont 93 5-8 up 1 5-8; Moto Meter 2 up 3-8: and Monsanto Chemical 82 1-2 up 1.

 Gannctt Backs Gold.
 Rochester, Dec 11-(UP)-The Administrations gold buying policy has brought a new price certainty that will release credit and build q firm foundation for prosperity, Frank E. Gannet, publisher of the Gannett newspapers, said today in commenting on the Roosevelt pro- gram.
 Gannett, a staunch defender of the Warren gold buying plan. took exception to some comment from Washington on the administrations monetary policy. He said the real situation had been misrepresented by critics who contended the prices of commodities had not risen in line with the gold advance and hence the Warren plan was fail- ure.
 No one has expected or should expect that the bureau of labor price index covering 784 commo- dities would exactly and stimultan- eously follow the price of gold" Gannett said. "Included in the 784 items of the index are many manu- factured articles which had not been permitted to decline in price. Nevertheless, since last February, the entire list is up 20 per cent. Meantime 30 basic commodities se- lected from the list are up A per cent, which compares very favor ably with the 61 per cent increase in the price of gold which has talk en place during the period"
 Gannett believes the adminis- tration's gold buying policy has accomplished everything which could be expected of it to date.
 No Overtures Made
 Washington, Dec 11-UP)-- International cooperation to stab- ilize the value of the dollar in re- lation to foreign currencies Is still a matter for future action, so far as the United States government is concerned, Acting Secretary of State Phillips indicated to-day.
 Commenting on published re- ports that the United States had made overtures to the British gov- efnment for joint action toward stabilization, Phillips said that no such moves had been made by the state department. and that he knew of no such action by any branch, of representatives of this government.
 The reports said the representa- tions had been made by George L.. Harrison, governor of the federal reserve bank of New York. and by American Ambassador Bingham at London. The reports also said British officials had been very cool toward the proposals.
 Phillips indicated that the cool ness toward such a move origin ated on this side of the Atlantic.
