Roosevelt Needs United
Support of the People

Nothing could be more en-
couraging than the response
Of the people to this voice
Of leadership. Nothing finer
than the nonpartisan nature
Of the response. Partisanship
may come later; today it is
intolerable. Mr.. Hoover has
commended the President s
action. Mr.. Mills has stood
by. From the Republican
Minister to Egypt comes this
public statement:
II express whOle-hearted
qualification over the cour-
ageous leadership manifested
by President Roosevelt.
There has never been a time
when there existed greater
compulsion to speak out
frankly, act courageously,
bury petty party rivalries
and unite behind all those
liberal forces in America
which are at last finding
dynamic action and express
sion in the person of Presi-
dent Roosevelt"
At the same time, the Gov
ernors of many States with
out regard to our political
affiliations" have declared
by resolution:
In this anxious hour of
a national e m erg ency a
heavy responsibility rests on
our President to lead us out
of our difficulties. He is
ready to lead if we are
ready to follow. He needs
the united support of all
our people in carrying out
his plans.
With a leader willing to
lead and a nation eager to
follow we can lift ourselves
out of the morass.

People Who "KnOw More"

People Who "KnOw More"
It is a well known fact that
the majority of persons prone
to give advice are least likely
to proceed according to their
own directions.
No matter how experienced
or expert a man may be in
doing a certain thing in a pub
lie way there are always those
who insist they could do better.
In a crowd, perhaps watch
ing a crane operate, there will
be those who will ridicule the
manner in which the work is
done.
In all kinds of establishments
there are sure to be men who
think they know more than the
boss and don't hesitate to say
so to the others.
No matter how successful the
foreman or the superior, many

WISE WORDS

Who throws away money
with his hands, shall seek it
with his feet.
He who does one fault at
first and lies to hide it, makes
it two.
The sovereign ability consists
in knowing thoroughly the
value of things.

A NOTABLE change has
"A come over the spirit Of
the American people in the
last two days. They are
acting like the Americans Of
tradition again. The hys-
terra is dying down; COM
mon horse sense is returning.
And there is a reason.
For many months the fear
of just such a bank crisis as
this has come creeping upon
the people like a kind OF
horror; and then more re-
Gently it has been rushing
upon them. This has been
responsible for boarding and
for raids on perfectly solid
banking institutions.
The hysteria has been all
the more pronounced because
we seemed to be drifting,
without leadership of any
sort in any quarter, govern
mental or financial. Never
in our history has the finan-
cial world been so utterly
without leadership. Every
one has been talking at cross
purposes. No one was doing
anything. That is the reason
so many concluded that con-
ditions were hopeless. And
this hopeless attitude in
creased the hysteria.
Now the worst has hap
pened; and everyone is re-
lieved. They are relieved be-
cause they find that it is not
so bad after all. Having
reached the bottom, we are
prepared now to begin build
ing up. And in the mean
while, Notwithstanding in
conveniences, we shall get
along. The old American
sense of humor has helped a
lot.
And then there is another
reason for this sense of re-
lief and encouragement-the
babel of voices at cross pur-
poses and without authority
has been silenced. One voice
is now heard. 1t is the voice
Of the head Of the nation. It
is the voice of authority. And
it has the ring Of confidence,
determination and decision.

We Are Going to
Stop Hoarding

We are going to stop the
boarding, the raiding on
sound institutions, and the
sending of vast sums of gold
out of the country by Amer
leans of great wealth.
We are going to have a
temporary system to permit
business to go on, and every
one is going to accept that
system because he must.

MAYBE I'M WRONG!

Edward G.. Robinson is one Of
the cleverest hosts in New York

the Mexican jumping beans.
Then, while the beans are busy
skipping rope it's much easier
for the guests to capture them.

No Time for Academic
Hair-splitting
The public expects speedy
action of Congress and not in
terminable debate. A rea-
sonable. discussion Of course,
but woe to the man in House
or Senate who engages in the
tactics of delay. This is no
time for academic hair-split-
ting.
While this is d. national
non partisan problem, in
which a country, rather than
a party, is involved, a spe-
cial responsibility rests upon
the Democratic party. It has
been entrusted with power at
a critical moment in both the
executive and legislative
branches Of government. 1t
must measure up to its re-
sponsibility or forfeit the
confidence Of the people for
a generation.
The country is satisfied
with the dynamic leadership
of the President and is will
ing to follow him, and to
grant him power to act
speedily and with decision.
It expects the Democratic
members of Congress espe-
cially to reflect the spirit Of
the nation. It expects a close
cooperation and a generous
support.

We Are at War with
a Dangerous Enemy
No Time for Academic
Hair-Splitting

In recognition of this fact
the Democratic members Of
the House have determined
that Administration emer-
gency measures shall be
passed upon in a party eau
Gus which shall be binding
on everyone who partici-
pates. The majority will
rule; the minority will ac-
quiesce and work in harness.
Always desirable when a
party has responsibility and
opportunity, it is imperative
now for the sake of the coun-
try.
It was because of this re-
sort to caucus action that the
first Wilson administration
was able to accomplish more
in the way Of constructive
and progressive achievement
than any other since the first
administration of Washing
ton.
But that was during the
days Of peace; today we are
at war with the most danger
GUS enemy we have ever
faced, and this calls for
united action, a solid front,
with partisanship subordi-
mated and with the Presi-
dents party following his
leadership, with the Repub-
licans during the crisis fol-
lowing the lead, not Of the
Democratic leader but of the
American leader.

A Leader
Has Appeared

We have had financial
"leaders" taking, advising,
debating-doing nothing.
We have had industrial
leaders" advising, debat-
ing-doing nothing.
We have had economists
quarreling about what is
best to do.
We have had business
"leaders" talking at cross
purposes.
And the utter hopeless
ness and inefficacy Of this
has done as much as any
thing to create the spirit of
panic; for the people got the
impression that no one knew
what to do or had any real
intention of doing anything.
And that brought the ad-
monishment from fear that
it was time for "everyone
for himself and the devil
take the hindmost."
Now at last is heard one
clear strong voice of lead
ership and command and all
the others who talked and
failed are silenced. Out Of
the clamor one hears a
bugle blast - and there is
silence. A leader has ap-
peared.

as a permanent museum, for nominal
admission fee.
This house was built shortly after
1900. It has for the past 130 years
been in the possession of only half a
dozen families It stood originally some
feet farther south, so that when o street
was cut through and the @ Street
Bridge built, it became necessary to
move it. The old wings were then torn
down and the house moved north and
higher on the hill. Later the wings
were restored, and after having been
occupied for a while as private resi-
dence it was purchased by the Colonial
Danes of America, and under the ad-
vice Of Luke Vincent Lockwood, one OF
the leading authorities on Colonial
homes and their furnishings. placed in
its present charming condition.
The restoration and refurnlshing OF
this house has indeed been most skill
fully done and. fortunately, not over
done. Each piece of furniture which
is placed in 1t Is passed upon by Mr..
Lockwood, and only those OF the pc
riod-1780 to 1810-and the best otthe
kind, are accepted. --.--
There are a drawing room and q
music room to the right Of the en-
trance; q library and dining room to
the left. Abovestairs are four bed rooms
In the wing to the right are COMMITTEES
rooms. In the wing to the left kitch-
en- and private quarters for the GUS
todian. Not only has this house been
saved and refurnished, but the grounds
have been beautifully laid out In ac-
cordance with the tradition Of the pc
riod, so that a perfect setting has been
provided.
An eminent art critic once said that
the present vogue for the Colonial was
a desire for escape from the hurry and
hustle of the present to the quiet and
repose of the past. Certainly the at
mosphere OF this charming old house
brings this thought to mind. and with
it the query as to the comparative value
of that which has been given In ex-
change for the new.
The house Is open on week days from
10 am. to S pm; on Sunday from 2
to pm. It should be considered In
the category of public museums.

avenue there will open Wednesday
evening. March 8, an exhibition
which has as its major feature a
collection of paintings by old mas
ters assembled and brought to this
country by A. Luscombe Carroll OF Lon
DON. Of utmost importance IN this
collection is a portrait of Lieut.. Daniel
Holroyd, younger brother of the Earl
of Sheffield, by Thomas Gainsborough; !;
a portrait of Sir Thomas Frankland,
by George Romney, and portrait OF
Charles Watson, Laird of Saughton by
Henry Raeburn, as we'll as works by
Beechey, Gordon, Kneller, Lely and
others.
The Gainsborough portrait has q
romantic history. 1t was offered for
sale at an auction in London IN 1928.
It was so black and grimy, however,
that none recognized it as Gains
borough Suspecting its distinguished
origin, Mr.. Carroll bought it, had 1t
cleaned and found himself in the pos
session of q rare treasure. The subject,
Dan -Holroyd. was killed in Havana In
July, 1852. Therefore, the portrait was
painted in Gainsborough's early days.
