Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS.
Duplication.

I RECENTLY received a very touch
ing letter from a resident Of the
Windy City. The correspondent had. Or
so he Informed me, bGttled the bridge
craze for five years, but the ceaseless
pounding at the wall of his indiffer-
ence had finally worn away his re-
sistance. With head bowed, he was
even at that moment entering the
liStS-an unwilling gladiator.
The correspondent admitted that
he had always pooh-poohed contract.
"A puerile game, fit only for dodder-
ing graybeards or thwarted child
prodigies," was the way he put it.
But he had had no forewarning that it
was necessary to be linguist to play
the blasted game. Books and column
lists were only q further aggravation
to him. These so-called experts went
ahead on the assumption that word
to the wise was sufficient; that
phrase bespoke volumes.
What, for example" asked the
correspondent, 'is duplicaton?"

contradictorily, but he explains his own contradictions swiftly and convincingly. He says:
 Roosevelt is our only hope; it's Roosevelt or ruin. He alone has 1t in his power to restore America to the masses. find fault with the President because he has thus far sought recovery rather through socialization than economies. Our basis sickness was contracted in the banks, not in our social well fare clinics. I am always prepared to change my mind. Since 1 poke harshIy of the progress of the New Deal, our President has taken fine step in what I regard as the right directions: He has taken $642, 100000 of the Treasury's profit fro mthe devaluation of the dollar ad applied 1t to the retire. ment of national bank notets. These national bank notets were the currency of the private bank CT, not of the United States of America. Only Congress has the right to coin and regulate the value of money. But under the rule of the private bankers and money changers Congress has been deprived of this right.
 Only A Voice
 'This is no matter of parties and candidates. Parties and candi- dates are but instruments of diff ferent schools of political philos- ophy. The qualification of a poll tical symbol and the stuffing of a political shirt are of no conse- qucnce to 22,000,000 men and wo- men standing in q breadline. Go along that line, or ask the 1,OO0,- 900 Americans who seek work at living wage-or any work for that matter. Ask them whether they are Republicans or Demo- crats. I am but a voice, my friend. I am not deceiying myself nor have ever sought to deceive you.
 q am no Socialist, no Com munist, no Fascist. Against Com munism, Socialism, Fascism or any other un-Americanis I will fight with you or anybody else. And not, if you please, with my tongue in a microphone but with a musket at my shoulder. Is that clear? Attend this, now. Is there any nn-American or inhuman word or phase in the principles of the National Union for Social Justice? Is there anything there that one might not claim right to? Is theer anything there to which the humblest of us is not entitled under this Constitution of ours-the Constitution which the international banker has appro- priated to be his own property, his bill of rights to ignore in the years of plenty and defend when famine stalks the earth ?"

New York, April 25 - Father Coughlin, radio pritest, now has 12,OO0,0OO American filed away in his card index-the writers of let ters received by him since he first began his broadcasting. Golfers Weekly, Investigating his affairs in an effort to appraise the infiu- ence and power of the priest in politics, predicts that he will be found advocating the reelection of Roosevelt in 1936, and will help to write the platform on W h h Roosevelt will stand.
 Personal Appearance
 The magazines description of the priests personal appearance is as follows:
 He's bit bulky, apparently powerful deep chested, broad, erect, about five feet ten, although the breadth of the man m s h t make him seem shorter. He is forty-four years old, and looks it. He's going to be fat soon if he isn't careful. His step, word, ges- ture and color proclaim a fine OL Nl5OI Soiu NNHtA N'' His face is pleasant but not com manding, bit too soft and .un- creased. There is little of the ag- gressivenes that marks his radio sermons. You would say that in his human contacts, away from the microphone, he achieves his ends rather by shrewdness, suavity and urbanity that would disarm, then win. He wore a furnished derby hat cat which he would wrench occasionally but never remove. Before we parted he had finished one pack of cigarettes and had called for more.
 Away from Sthe microphone his accent is Canadian rather than Irish. In ordinary conversation there is scarcely any of the melli- fluence that flows from your ra- dio receiver-no vocal histrionics, no oratorical trapezings. But habit is ever present. Given a ques- ton, Father Coughlin is apt to cover all it's suburbs before paus- ing.
