4 hOREOVER the centralization of control
wi over business by the Government in Wash
ington seemed intolerable in JackSons time.
Unless it were speedily checked, there would
soon be more freedom either political
economic. At any rate. so it seemed to the
people of South Carolina, and in less degree
to the people of other sections who diSliked
the Governments tariff policy.
According to eminent statesmen of the South,
the Constitution does not authorize the Fed
eral Government to pass laws which regu-
late private business to diminish seriously
the profits thereof. Under Jackson, certain
protective tariff laws had been passed which
gravely injured the business of exporting cot
ton from the Southern States to England and
South Carolina was ready to lead an armed
revolt against this unconstitutional enlargement
Of Federal authority.
Revolt was avoided by compromise, but
the resentment against undue and unwarranted
interference by Government in business
manned.
This resentment waned in the presence Of
the dire national emergency of March, 1888,
but it shows signs of reviving rapidly with the
prospect OF prosperity, and Is beginning to
assert the constitutional rights of traditionaly
rugged individualism against the collective
tendency of President RooSeveltls new deal
legislation. Today. as 100 years ago, the Con-
stitution Is called upon to authorize ever-in-
creasing powers for the National Government
Jacksons management of the national
finances and currency is the subject Of almost
as much criticism and controversy today as is
that of President Roosevelt Our central
financial institution of 100 years ago was the
Bank Of the United States, chartered in 1916
for a 2O-year period but slain in mortal COM
bat by President Jackson before that period
had expired
To Jackson, this bank was just the big bad
wolf' of Wall Street. and he easily mobilized
against it the distrlst and hatred Of his sup
porters in the campaign Of 1892 to prevent
its recharter four years later.
Then he proceeded to starve It tc death By
Withdrawing from it the Governments de-
Evening star., 1934-01-21

"It is significant that the masses of the
people, not without evidence to Justify them,
came to believe with President Jackson that the
Bank of the United States had become gi-
gantic institution which could and did use its
economic power and its connection with the
Government to entrench itself more deeply
and to manipulate the finances of the country
in the interest of bankers and their friends
rather than of the masses of the people.
1T is likewise significant that this opinion
has remained sufficiently firm to prevent the
recharter Of that or of any other such monop-
oily. 1t is perhaps coincidence that many OF
the present opponents of President RooSevelts
financial policies represent interest similar to
those represented by the opponents of Presi-
dent Jackson"
Jackson's harsh and quarrelsome methods
with Congress contrast sharply with Roosevelt's
pleasantly persuasive coercion. When Jackson
slew the bank the Senate censured him for so
doing. He protested against the censure and
year after year. through the agency of his
friend, Senator Benton. sought to have it ex-
plunged from the record At last the long seige
was victorious and motion to expunge passed
the Senate after a debate lasting nearly II
hours.
In comparing the breadth of view of these
two new dealers-their understanding of the
present and vision of the future-the SUPERIOR
ity of Roosevelt seems strikingly apparent.
Indeed, there is a good deal of evidence sug-
gesting that Jackson viewed the problems Of
his time in a very narrow fashion and under
stood very little of what going around
him in the world at large or at home.
For instance, the letters he wrote give the
reader that impression. In the preface to the
most recently published volume of Jacksons
correspondence the editor comments on this
fact as follows:
"The range of President Jackson's interest,"
in the affairs Of the world, and even of the
United States, was plainly not wide. He
was content to be simply the executor Of its
laws and its foremost politician"
To some extent, and certainly more than
jackson, Roosevelt may be considered the crea-
tor, and not solely the creature, Of q new era,
provided the beginnings he has made are at
length carried to successful completion.

zens as an indemnity for this pretended insult
how degrading such conduct this to that
proud and chivalric nation? Would this have
been the conduct of her Frances I, her Henry
w, or her Bonaparte or even any high-minded
honorable Frenchman. The answer OF every
honest. hgh-minded honorable man must be
in the negative-the debt would have been
first paid, and then the demand for salts
faction of her insulted honor. :"
DOINTS of similarity between Jackson and
Roosevelt would include surely the Nation
wide popularity of each, especially among the
still numerous group of citizens not under in
vestigation for some kind of financial iniquity.
Also the tendency to man rule ('king An
drew the First; Franklin the Dctator')
and to experimentation with new measures and
methods to meet new situations.
With Jackson came the rise of the common
man; universal suffrage and democracy; the
people taking charge of the Government With
Roosevelt, the rescue of the forgotten man.
codes and security; the Government taking
charge of the people.
Jackson brought in the astonishing heresy
that government should be neither for by
the wealthy and the well-born, but that the
unwashed and unlettered mob should control
it by their votes and even occupy many of its
offices.
Successful governments had never been run
that way in the past, and the lurid horrors
of Jacobin democracy in the French Revolution
were still fresh in their memories. The Wild
West seemed to be moving in to take control
over the civilized East. Experiment was about
to replace experience.
The kind of people whom President Roose-
velt today is calling modern Tories" said this
was all wrong and perilous and subversive Of
American institutions. It seemed as impractical
and unsafe to the Tories of 1884 for ex-
ample. such words as the following, uttered re-
Gently by prominent member of the Roosevelt
administration, seem to the Tories of 1894:

men is determined to kill the other in very
gentlcnanly duel.
1t has been agreed that at the word 'Fire!"
each may shoot as quickly as he chooses.
Jackson knows Dickinson to be quicker on the
trigger than he so he deliberately lets him
shoot first. The bullet breaks rib or two and
scrapes his breastbone. mere scratch, since
his heart is still ticking. Now it is Jacksons
turn.
Slowly he raises his long and takes
careful aim. He pulls the trigger, but the pistol
misses fire. The seconds decide that this was
merely mechanical error, and that he has
another shot.
With murterous calmness, Jackson again
takes long and deadly aim. He fires and kills
his antagonist.
TAKE another illustration France, in jack
sons time now, owed money to the
United States, which we had long been trying
unsuccessfully to collect. Cancellation and Dip
lomatic politeness were not in Jacksons ma
ture; hence he had demanded payment in
words that France considered insulting
That he was about to add plenty more to
this insult would appear from the following
notes on the subject written in his own hand
and spelled in his own way, as proposed
part of his next message to Congress. FOrtu-
nately, Jackson's diplomatic advisers managed
to suppress these irritating though truthful
comments on the tTencn 1allure 10 pay.
"A pretended insult to her in the Presidents
message of 1894! What! France take offense
at message which detailed the truth! Why,
it may be asked, had not France paid the debt
she acknowledged to be just and had pledged
her national faith and the honor of her King
long before that she would pay?
IF she had she would have spared the
Executive of the painful duty in exposing in
his communication to Congress in 1884 the
facts detailing the bad faith of the govern
ment of France, he was bound to do by the
acquisitions of the Constitution. What dis
graceful and dishonorable attitude has France
by this proviso placed herself?"
France demanded an apology before she

NEW YORK, April THE bene-
fetal use of artificial fever in the
treatment OF diseases was described to-
cay to the Eastern section Of the Amer
ican Congress of Physical Therapy.
"Its value in number of condi-
tions is no longer questioned" said
DR.. William H. Schmidt OF the JEFF
ferson Medical College, in Philadel-
phia. "but the many technical factors
connected with its use have by nc
means been definitely settled.
Its widespread use over the coun-
try will serve as great experiment to
determine the true value"
Solution in Fever.
DR.. Schmidt's paper, read in his
absence by an associate in physical
therapy. DR.. Benjamin Ulanski, said
the solution was the perfection OF q
method to create fever that would
elevate body temperature quickly
without danger and with the least
discomfort to patients.
Height of temperature Is very
important consideration" DR.. Schmidt
added There is no doubt different
diseases will require different degrees
of temperature to eradicate them"
Temperatures Of l04 and los are
the safe maximum, DR.. Schmidt said
When the temperature is elevated
above 105 there enters the threat OF
danger if the physical condition OF
the patient is poor.

A dispute between Senators Long Of
Louisiana and Clark Of Missouri over
who paid a 5000 bill for use Of a
sound truck in the latter's 1923 cam
paign apparently has ended
During a clash with Clark in the
Senate Thursday, Long said he had
paid the bill to the Hart Electrical
Co. at New Orleans, from which the
truck was hired.
Clark said he understood the 5000
had been paid by his managers. and
If Long had contributed ''one dime"
to his campaign, he wanted to re-
imburse him. Long produced a re-
ceipt for the bill.
Earle Christenberry, Longs secre-
tary, said yesterday James M. Thom-
son, New Orleans publisher and
brother-in-law of Clark, who arranged
for hiring the truck. had inveSti-
gated and found the bill had not been
paid by Clark's managers.
Thomson, the secretary added, paid
the bill and forwarded the certified
check to Longs Office.
Long then notified the Hart COM
pany to refund his $500 to Mrs. Long

of Congress almost continuously since
the beginning Of our departmental
service, but they have now become the
Switchboard of so-called organizers
and reorganizers, DR.. George C. Hav-
enner says in recently published
booklet entitled "Upsets in the Gov

Denounces Tax Burden.
Lamenting the tax burden placed
on the present generation by the wide
spread public building program
launched by Congress in 1926, DR..
Havenner says to shoulder the cost of
these gigantic undertakings upon the
present day taxpayers Is about as logi-
cal as was the proposition that was
advanced Immediately after the 1918
armistice that the cost of the World
War be paid by the taxpayers of to-
day.
The taxpayers Of the COS did not
pay the cost of the Civil War" he
says, nor have the taxpayers of any
generation paid the cost Of that gen.
eration's wars waged to make the
country safe for present and future
generations, so why should the tax
payers of today pay the total cost for
structures intended to serve not only
the taxpayers Of today, but those Of
tomorrow and the next day."
Government Declared Sound.
There Is no use for continuing ex-
isting upsets, says DR.. Havenner. The
Government Is no longer poor and
the departmental service has been
materially enlarged with the inde-
pendent branch Of the executive es-
tablishment ever increasing. While
there is deficit in the regular annual
budget due to the method that has
been followed in the past of financing
many long-life betterments from an
nual tax receipts, the United States
Government is today financially
sound and one Of the richest in the
world.
The author briefly sketches the his
tory of the executive departments,
showing the gradual accumulation by
each Of unrelated activities and then
suggests what he considers should be
done in the way Of regrouping and re-
organization. The booklet concludes

BETRAYED NATION
Mrs. Henry W. Peabody
Publishes Book "Kidnap-
ina the Constitution"

America was betrayed through the
return of legal liquor and beer. This
is the charge developed In quotation
and argument by Mrs. Henry W..
Peabody, chairman Of the Woman's
National Committee for Law En-
forcement, in her book. "Kidnaping
the Constitution" published by N. A.
Lindsey & Co., Inc, Marblehead,
Mass.
The crux Of the book is presented
in one paragraph: I'VE conclude
that the Constitution Of the
United States was kidnapped through
notification and illegal repeal through
fake conventions"
Praised by Capper.
OF the book, Senator Arthur Cap
per Of Kansas says in letter to the
author: "You have included in this
small volume more timely informa-
ton and forceful arguments in oppo-
sition to the liquor traffic than I have
ever seen before / would like to see
million copies Of this wonderful
book distributed throughout the
country within the next year"
1T is splendidly DONE" wrote Sem
ator Borah.
Mrs. Peabody trains her guns not
only on repeal, but against all disre-
gard Of the Constitution.
THE liquor question is merely the
bad breath of diseased government,
which will end in anarchy" she
states.
Law Declared Repudiated.
In a foreword, written December
S, 1888, she asserts:
After the modification of the Con-
stitution by the Seventy third Congress
through the illegal beer bill and re-
in no sense representative ccnven-
tions. this Government today, for the
first time, repudiated its fundamental
law.

The youth has reached the point

to spend the money that he earns

a family with regular income of $l8

the parents, the sons job assumes the
aspects of a liability instead Of an

Then, too, there are the folks who
want their share of the divisions sup
