Two IDEALS. -

is there any real relaClOnSnlp OeCWeeH
the square deal" of Theodore Roosevelt
and the New Deal of Franklin d.
Roosevelt? Any relationship other than
the repetition of the word deal? ANY
relationship other than that the family
name Of the sponsors in both cases Is
Roosevelt? That a relationship does
exist is the underlying theme of state
ments made from time to time by the
foremost protagonist of the New Deal"
Such a suggestion runs through the
address which President Franklin D.
Roosevelt made at the dedication of the
Roosevelt Memorial at the American
Museum of Natural History in New York.
It is as patent to the reader as was the
suggestion that the Andrew Jackson of
today is the Roosevelt now in the White
House. which was broadcast here recently
at the celebration of Jackson's victory
over the British at New Orleans.
The square deal of Theodore Roosevelt
had rugged sound. Yet rugged today
is no longer popular word. The square
deal of Theodore Roosevelt promised to
the people of America equal justice and
equal opportunity; to the poor man and
to the rich man, to the war veteran and
to others who had not been so fortunate
as to stand in the ranks of those who
fought for their country. The square
deal of Theodore Roosevelt was fam
ing sword against crooked politics. The
square deal of Theodore Roosevelt meant
a civil service built on merit, not on
favors for party support. The square
deal of Theodore Roosevelt was an en-
couragement to the individual man and
woman to strive for the highest in life;
there was no hint of regimentation, of
Collectivism. found in it.
The New Deal of Franklin D. Roose-
welt has an experimental sound. 1t Is
expe1 mental. 1t has thrown into
the discard as no longer worthy of con-
sideration wisdom wrung from the ex-
perience of the past. The New Deal OF
Franklin D. Roosevelt speaks for progress,
for the improvement of social conditions
of the people. Many of its objectives,
when generally stated, coincide with the
objectives of the square deal of Theodore
Roosevelt. But the New Deal of Franklin
D. Roosevelt places his Government in
business competition with the individual
American. il brings the Government into
the activities of the people of America
in a manner which conflicts with their
liberty of action in many ways. Men
and women, under the New Deal must
rely upon the Government not upon
themselves, to a greater and greater
extent.
And what of the politics OF today,
under the New Deal OF Franklin D.
Roosevelt? What of the civil service and
the merit system? Writing to Senator
William E. Borah today, former Gov
ernor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, a close
friend of Theodore Roosevelt and an
ardent supporter of the square DEAL"
charges that money appropriated by
Congress for relief is wasted by poll
ticians on political favorites. Works
Progress Administration workers are
compelled, he says, to give up part of
their slender earnings for political pur-
poses. THAT" says Pinchot, lis about

We speak OF those who journey on,

That marks some simple, heartfelt line
OF truth the world should know.
Perhaps the truth has caused tear.

Senator Wallace White is up for re-

lives in Lewiston, the strongest Demo-

a good vote in his home city. Further
more, he is popular throughout the State.
F. Harold Dubord, the Democratic ma
tional committeeman, who ran against
Senator Hale and lost by only 200 votes
in 1884, is expected to be Whites oppo-
nent. There has been no suggestion that
Gov. Brann might like Senate seat and
would seek the Democratic nomination
against White, but it is always possible.
Maine now has two Democratic mem

Moving into st. Louis on the
heels of the Pirates who had
started the Cards slump with a
swamping, the Bees in four games
piled up SO runs, scored one shut
out and knocked the Cards into
a second-place tie with the Cubs,
three games behind the Giants.
All of which improved the Bees
position to the extent Of hiking
them into fifth place.
They showed yesterday that they
could beat the Cards with pitching
as well as power, taking one of
two 1-to-0 Shutouts involving clubs
in the pennant race, while the
Giants we're idle.
The Bees accomplished their
victory in 10 innings of pitching
mastery on the part Of Danny Mac.
Fayden, who won, and Tarzan
Parmelee, who deserved better
fate. MacFayden gave up only four
hits, but Parmelee was touched
for only three. He made the mis-,
take, however, of letting Cuccin'
clio get a single in the tenth and
CoScarart a triple.
Cubs Score
The Cubs won by the same score
from the PhillieS on Roy Hen
shaw'S Six-hit twirling, the winning
marker coming in the fifth when
Herman doubled, advanced on a
sacrifice and scored on a fly.
The Giants open today at
Pittsburgh, seeking their fifteenth
straight, while the Bees are at
Chicago and the Cards hope fol
a chance of luck with the Phillies.
Pittsburgh beat Van Mungo and
Brooklyn yesterday, 6 to 8.
The Yankees closed out their Sc
ries with the Browns in the Amer
lean League with a 7-to-1 victory
turned in by Johnny Broaca, who
missed a shutout by the margin Of

The Tigers got four-hit pitching

On Scraps
Bv PAT ROBINSON

International News Service Sports Writer
NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-It may
surprise you to learn-aS it did
some of our smarter fight promo
ters-that the by-products of a
sport events may be more valuable
than the event itself.
Jimmy Johnston, Of Madison
Square Garden, and Mike Jacobs,
of the Twentieth Century Club,
used to pat themselves on the back
when they could wangle $25, 900
for the motion picture rights and
a similar amount for the radio
rights to big fight.
Then they made the financially
painful discovery that the $25 900
they got for the films was only
chicken feed and that the smart
boys who bought the pictures
Tapped up all the gravy.
Will Sell Radio Rights
Wherefore, in future, the fight
promoters will continue to sell the
radio rights but they will exploit
the pictures themselves.
Mike Jacobs came to this deci-
sion today after a close check on
what happened to the pictures Of
the Louis-Schmeling fight.
Now Mike is better than a green
hand with a dollar. He's one of
the country's biggest ticket brokers
and he's been on Broadway all his
life. 1t has been truthfully said
that he could afford to break even
on a big fight promotion and still
make plenty of cocoanutS through
the premiums on choice ringside
seats.
Therefore. he is supposed to
know all the angles. But it took a
couple of smart lads to show him
a new wrinkle on the pictures
and Mike is not the kind of a
lad to overlook a lesson especial,
ly when the lesson is a costly
one.
No Financial Success
Mike staged the Louis-SchnDel
ing fight. It was a sensational
fight and drew around halt a
million dollars out Of which Mike
got very little. From Mikes view.
point it was an aesthetic but not
a bowling financial success.
But the smart lads who bought
the picture fights for a measly
$25, 900 have cleaned up in excess
of $750,000 here and abroad and
the money is still pouring in!
And that's why Mike says
''little Michael will handle the
pictures on the next big fight"
