There Is No Other
Possible Way

But again this can all be
prevented by "action-and
action now" AS President
Roosevelt puts it, sit is too
late for a leisurely ap-
proach to this problem" "
We cannot wait Ito act
several months hence" And
he explains why-gives one
sufficient reason why:
1.-The emergency is &C
centuated by the necessity
of meeting great refunding
operations this spring.
And this is spring.
He proposes "action-and
action now.'' There is no
other possible way.
He asks authority from
Congress to act, and, of
course, the power will be
given-and of course, this
will not be so good for some.
Just now the nation must
act for all. He puts it to
us all slap-dash in the face:
"Such economies which
can be made will, it is true,
affect some of our citizens;
but the failure to make
them will affect all of our
citizens. The very stability
of our Government itself is
concerned, and when that
is concerned the benefits of
some must be subordinated
to the needs of all"
And that is automatic.

Your Generous Deeds

You certainly want others to
know it when you do a good
turn, do you?
Of course you are rather
adroit in the way you do it
careless sort of way-in connec-
tion with some story.
But you get it over and the
fact that you mention it proves
that you want it to be known
and appreciated.
Is your giving done, then,
with an unselfiSh purpose?
No, you haven't the 1'-ht
spirit, and so you don't get so
much joy out of it as you might
if you were more modest and
humble about it.
Something happens to that
old heart Of yours when you
lessen the burden of another,
but as soon as you have told
it even to one person, you have
missed some Of the happiness.
Your pleasure should come
from the personal knowledge
that you were permitted to do
something to help those less
fortunate.
You really have a very diff
ferent motive, for you want
others to note that you are
around doing good.
Many times you would not
have done anything, but you
see what others are doing and
you want as much credit as
they get.
Why aren't you generous and
kind just for the purpose Of
doing good?

DRESIDENT ROOSE-
i WELT having won the
unanimous plaudits OF the
nation by the quick, decisive
action on the banks, was en-
gagged in conferences until
after midnight Thursday;
Friday morning found him
busily engaged at 7 30 in
the preparation Of a message
asking authority to take the
next decisive step; and at
noon the message was heard.
This message, like the first,
is courageous, realistic incl
sive, and discloses a deter
mination that the nation
shall face realities as clearly
as he does.
1t is not enough to protect
depositors' money; to pre-
vent crooked banking in the
future-the vital interests of
the nation demand that the
nation shall get over its idi-
otic spree of spending more
than it has to spend.
The balancing of tn e
budget is necessary now to
the protection of the dollar.
For some years we have
been running behind; we are
now far behind; and to put
the nation on it's feet we have
got to economize.
And that is where courage
is required-but the Presi-
dent has it.
The Washington times., 1933-03-15
We Must Cut Cost
Of Government

He asks for power to make
drastic cuts in the cost Of
government. He wants per-
mission to cut red tape. He
wants to do the necessary
thing-with "action-and ac-
ton now" That is what the
country wants him to do.
Unless we cut the cost of
government the nation will
60 into bankruptcy and no
ones money will be worth
much.
This can be done under our
democratic institutions if the
people through their repre-
sentatives grant the tempo
rary power in an emergency
It is the way to save our
democratic institutions; for
if the power is not granted
now and bankruptcy comes,
these institutions will give
way in the general ruin to a
dictatorship that will not be
temporary.
The public should read
this second masterful mes
sage with its courage, its
militancy, its directness and
refreshing frankness. There
are some passages in it that
should be burned into the
consciousness Of a people
that now knows it has been
living in a fools paradise
because they have been
fooled.

ONCE OVERS
Superior Persons

There are too many persons
trying to lift others up who are.
themselves, standing on a lower
plane than those they seek to
influence.
The one who sets out to be
'teacher" should first renovate
himself.
Uplift, in many instances.
fails because Of the known
frailities of those who are con-
Sidered so superior.
The man or woman who has
more than the usual number of
weaknesses should not act as
counselor or guide, for he or
she is sure to injure the cause
to be presented.
Absolute perfection in a
human being cannot be ex-
pected.
But there must be a certain
degree of perfection before a
person can be justified in
setting up as an example.
Many good causes fail because
of those who espouSe them.
It is true that a good plan
should not be denounced be-
cause of the sins or faults Of
some of its supporters.
But generally speaking one
must represent creditably the
policy or the principle set up
as a guide for others, if many
followers can be expected.
Do you practice what you
preach?
Isn't it a fact that you
violate many of the rules you
insist upon others following?

Reason for
Gold Raids

NO4N 4SU4AC
"Thus we shall have piled
up an accumulated deficit
of $4,000, 100000.
And at the present hour
the deficit is growing. 1t is
this ever-increasing deficit
that has been threatening
us all with ruin; that has
been paralyzing industry,
destroying confidence, keep
ing men out of work.
The President sets forth
the effect on the nation and
all its people of this intol-
cradle drifting toward the
abyss:
1T has contributed to the
recent collapse of our bank
ing structure. It has ac-
centuated the stagnation of
the economic life of our
people. It has added to the
ranks of our unemployed.
Our Governments house is
not in order, and for many
reasons no effective action
has been taken to restore
it to order.''
That is the reason for the
gold raids, for the boarding,
for the threatened destruc-
tion Of our entire credit sys-
tenn, for the degradation of
the dollar-your dollar-in
other lands. Again the
President tells us the effect
on human values:

Congress Will Not Dare
Falter or Hesitate

We have passed the stage
where groups and organized
minorities can be permitted,
in a spirit of selfishment, to
dictate that we shall 60 on
spending more than we take
in. If the narrow escape in
the bank crisis has not
brought all Of us out of the
clouds and down to earth we
are a helpless people-and
we are not. We have passed
the point where threats
mean much. We have
reached the point, with the
nations most vital interests
involved, where courage to
do the necessary thing will
make the only appeal to
popularity. We are dealing
now with an emergency, and
emergency measures are re-
quired to tide us over the
crisis.
And everything must be
subordinated at this juno
ture to this one-the main
tenance Of the nations S
credit.
And happily the nation
now has a leader ready and
eager to assume the re-
sponsibility. All he asks is
this:
IF Congress chooses to
vest me with this responsi-
bility it will be exercised in
a spirit of justice to all, of
sympathy to those who are
in need and of maintaining
inviolate the basic welfare
of the United States.
Congress will not dare
falter or hesitate.

A Peculiar Find in Abandoned
Coal Mine

Henry Barnes, who operates fuel
mine near Midlothian, in Allegany
county, reports that he with Clifton
Skidmore, recently tapped an old en-
try that had been filled with water
for very many years, and after drain
age for several days was able to ex-
plore it. They found the rib-roof and
pavement heavily coated with sui
phur, the latter to depth of three to
six inches; a loaded 2-ton mine car,
topped with Jumps, was found stand
ing on the ST" rail and the whole
track intact. The coal in the car was
likewise encrusted heavily with sui
phur. Several Jumps were examined
showing the underneath surfaces were
shiny black.
Mr.. Barnes says the timber in this
mine was in as good condition as
when put there. The water had ap-
parently petrified it. This old mine
was known as the Jimmy Little place
and was operated about forty years
ago.

RELIEF DRIVE CHAIRMAN
ASKS PEOPLE TO ASSIST
Legion and Scouts Seeking
Clothing to Give to Needy

care you doing your bit to help
relieve the suffering of the needy
families in Garrett county during
these cold winter months ?" asks
Edward C. Lawrence, chairman of
the American Legion relief drive.
Several weeks ago." he continued,
"the American Legion and Boy
Scouts launched a relief drive to aid
the people of our county, and an out
line of the manner in which it would
be conducted was published in The
Republican. This relief drive cannot
be a success unless we receive the
help of the people. We are not ask
ing for money but only for discarded
clothing and we believe there are
many families in Oakland and other
parts of the county who are in a
position to help in this way.
"Pieces of clothing that have been
packed away in a closet or trunk,
that would help to keep somebody
warm, will be received gladly by the
Legion committee, and we are asking
that you look in these discarded
places. In attempting to aid every
body who is really in need we have
placed in ten stores and business
places in Oakland a small red box.
With this box there are cards for
names and addresses of parties hav-
ing clothing to donate.
Each Saturday members of the
Legion and Boy Scout troop will col
lect anything the people have to
offer"
