RESTORED CONFIDENCE
Copyright, 1886, BY Paul MallOn

WASHINGTON Oct. T. The inner attitude OF the
crowd around President Roosevelt has changed per-
ceptbiiity within the last week. Old apprehensions
about the election are fading. They may be foollng
themselves. but they are going to be the most sur
priSed poHtCOs in the U. S. if the Literary Digest
poll is right.
These boys are too old to believe in speeches.
Their trust wisely rests in such practical matters
as organization.
What makes them feel good right now is the ac-
emulation of such carefully planned organization
maneuverS as these:
The Minnesota deal forming an alliance with
the farmer laborites the CouzenS conversion in
Michigan: split Of Republican electors in Della
ware: the personal drafting and nomination OF
Governor Lehman in New York; the John L. Lew
is labor alliance and its possible effects in West
Virginia Illinois. and Pennsylvania; the La Fol-
lette alliance in Wisconsin, the dtching of Cover
nor Davey in Ohio.
These are not all, but they are enough to explain
why the white house COterie now feels better II
there is anything else they can do, they have not
discovered it yet.

power to execute the mortgage to
cover deferred payments, but it
has legal advice that this could
be avoided by having the bank
deed the property to some private
individual. who would execute
the mortgage to the bank and
then, in his turn, deed the prop
erty to the board, subject to the
terms of the mortgage.
If somewhat devious. the board
is however advised that the pro-
cess would be legal and it does not
believe that there would be any
objection on the part Of the state
school authority.
In favor Of the proposal is the
fact that the board believes that
the property will eventually be
needed for school purposes, and
the figure at which it can be
brought at the present time is a
COnSlQ6ldLlOll.
The property fronts 1872 feet on
North Road street. between the
north line Of the grammar school
lot and Scott street, has a depth
of 2O8 feet and is bOrdered on two
sides by school property. 1t in
cludes a large residence in fair
repair, which the board believes
would bring in enough to pay in
terest charges on the purchase
price from its rental. while @
small annual payment on the
principal could easily be taken
care Of.
The $1,000 purchase price is
considered low. and the board be-
lieVeS that should there be a ne
ccsSity for purchasing the same
property later, by condemnation
proceedings, the price would like
ly be much higher. It is recalled
that the property bought from the
Scott estate to Straighten cut the
athlete field line, and which ad-
Joins on the rear the property
now under consideration, cost the
board $4,000. that the narrower
trip between the Scott property
and the school, now Incorporated
in the school grounds cost between
$4,000 and $4,000, and that the
site Of the high school cost $25,-

1t is always advisable not to make up your mind

He said the New Deals so
called economic planning all but
stopped and when the failure Of
these policies became obvious, the
administration undertook to
create prosperity by squandering.' >

IF this administrations blum

economic policies, there is some
thing of Karl Marx, but there is
equally as much of Groucho

Federal deficits were unavoid-
able and inevitable during the
worst portion of the depression,
Knox said, adding that President
Roosevelt, as a candidate four
years ago. declared that the de-
ficit Of the Republican admins
tratiOn was the result of Squan-
dering. waste and incompetence,
and pledged himself to economy
in government.
The ViCe-Presidential nominee
quoted Nj. Roosevelt as telling a
Pittsburgh audience in October,
1882, that Before any man enters
my cabinet he must give me a two
fold pledge Of % ObSolute loyal
tY to the Democratic platform and
especially to its economy plank,
~ Complete cooperation with
me, locking to economy and re-
organization in his department"
That pledge ought to be print
ed on q card and hung up over
Mr. Wallaces desk and Mr.. Ickes'
desk. Knox said. 1T ought to be
hung up in the reSettlement ad-
miniStration, where Mr.. TugWell
has had 1900 clerks milling a.
round trying to find which Ameri-
can citizens ought to be moved
somewhere else. l don't believe
posting the card would help Mr..
Hopkins very much"
The candidate made reference
TO his last speech in Eastern Pen
nsylvania by commenting that
Since the Allentown meeting the
entire administration has been
trying to explain to the country
what a splendid thing it is to have
all the banks in the United States
in a situation where they have to
keep on buying government bonds
to protect the inflated values of
those they have already had to
buy"
Referring to Mr.. RooSevelts re-
cent address in Pittsburgh, Knox
said the Chief Executive "EX-
planned to the people that it was
crime to balance the budget.
That is one crime I never ac-
cuScd the present administration
OF committing. With the Literary
Digest poll staring them in the
face and the needs of the politi-
cal straw bosses of the WPA
growing greater, this is no time
