THEY TALK OF IDEALISM

Mr., Harry L. Hopkins, Mr.. Harold L. lckes, DR..
Rexford Guy Tugwell and other well-pald gentle-
men in high places under the New Deal wax elo-
ouent in extolling the idealism OF the Roosevelt
administration. They praise the New Deafs hearC
throbs for the poor. They go about the land with
words of enthusiasm for the pursuit of lofty atru-
ism. ....
These gentlemen are associated with another
gentleman in high place, Mr.. James Aloyslus Far
lev. This gentleman is the postmaster general on
leave for the purpose of doing this and that for
the reelection of President Roosevelt He is prac-
teal politician a Tammany-trained politician. he
understands the main chance and goes after II
tenaciously. &c.
When Messrs Hopkins, Ickes, Tugwell and others
loose their glowing tributes to pure ldeasm, they
never mention their partner in the New Deal Ihey
leave Mr.. Farley to his own devices OF course, IN
their own speeches and statements, they are lnho-
cent of aiding the practical politicians They nave
no thought of politics in choosing their appontees'
Utopians canot be expected to be bothered with
ways and means of gathering votes.
Messrs Hopkins, Ickes, Tugwell and the gentle

is builder of powerful political machine. He has
reminded audiences of the argess rained upon them

FEDERAL EMERGENCY OUTLAWS SHARPLY
AHEAD OF THOSE OF LAST YEAR

Official figures show that the federal govern
ment with the business volume of the country MS
ing, is pouring out record-breaklng volume Oh
money to continue the printing of the pump .
Between July l and September 22 the treasury
Maid out more than S75e,00O,O0O in pump-priming
operations. In the same period one year ago the
volume of money spent for the same purposes
amounted to about S610,000,0O0. Pump-priming
operations now are carried on at the rate of ap-
proximately $62, 100000 week as contrasted with
about $51,OOO,OOO last year. ....
Most of this money continues to go for relief.
The WPA job program has cost $436,900,000 in
the first twelve months of the new fiscal year as
contrasted with $246, 900 on the same period a
year ago for direct relief.
The statements of the treasury department dis
close that the change in relief policy, from depend
ing on state supervision of a modified work pro-
gram to federal operation of job program, ac-
ornamental pump-priming outlay. A decrease in the
cost of CCC camps from $150 100000 year ago
to 100000 this year partly offsets The increased
cost of WPA.

by its opponents, that business improved
under the stimulus of government spending the
volume of that spending would be contracted. Thus
far, according to the official figures recovery has
been accompanied by increased spendng.-United

PORTED that termites were work

So we removed a few boards
and found where the termites
were coming up from the ground
through an opening carelessly
left between the concrete front
steps and the rock wall founda-

creosote and sealed it firmly with
concrete. We took out a timber

The administration has been at
