DESERTS AL SMITH;

First, want to say have read
The Times long before it was The
Times, when it was The Sun. I
always liked the editorial page and
Message Center. I'll confess I got
little peeved in 1923 when you
favored Hoover little more than Al
Smith, but I voted for Smith.
But since listening to him over
the radio I apologize. I now think
it was like splitting hairs.
I think now it would be a good
thing for the rank and file, as 80
per cent are just that, to join hands
and stay with our friend, Franklin
D. Roosevelt, and put rings in Al
Smiths nose and turn him and his
Liberty League gang loose with the
grass rooters-Amen.

ON Aug. Is she ran past the
~ mouth of Fall Greek on trial
trip, and once more the landlocked
citizens were hilarious. They rode
her and had picnics on her until
she and her captain, Henry M
Socwell, got sort of smarty and ran
up near Cold Springs in the spring
of 1866, the farthest up the river
she ever went.
Then the river was bribed by
spring rains and was high. In July
the same year, they tried to do it
again. The boat grounded and was
badly sprung getting free. In
August she sank at her moorings
under the Old National Road
covered bridge. She sank at night,
with no one aboard except the
night Waterman. He was asleep
and got wet.
When she was raised, Levi
Comegys bought the hui for $1,000
and hauled cobblestones in it for
the National road.
The Gov. Morton never was a
financial success, 1t is a matter of
record that her most lucrative trip
was one on which she was stranded
for a longer time than usual on a

What Happens to Savings
in New Deal Pension Plan

The cruel deceit practiced by
tho Rooseveltian New Deal old
Sge pension plan was eXposci by
Gov. Alf ". Landon in his adj
dress at milwaukee,. Calling the
law unjust and stunidly draft
cd" he pictured the tragedy of
the New Deal in the following
homily:
Let me explain it in the simple
terms of the family budget. The
father of the family is a kindly
man, so kindly that he borrows
all he can to add TO the family's
pleasure. AT the same time he
lmpresses upon his SONS and
daughters the necessity of saving
Tor their old age. Every month
they bring six per cent Of their
wages to him so that he may act
as trustee and invest their saw
lngs for their old age.
The father decides that the
best investment is his own l. o.
U. So every month he puts aside
IN a box his 1. O. U. carefully
executed, and, moreover, bearing
interest at per cent. And every
month he spends the money that
his children bring him, partly in
meeting his regular expenses,
and the rest in various expert
ments that fascinate him.
Years pass - the children
grow old-the day comes when
they have to open their fathers
box. What do they find? Roll
after roll of neatly executed L.
o. US
Il am not exaggerating the
folly of this legislation. Tie saw
ing it forces on our workers is a
cruel hoax.
There is every probability that
the cash they pay in will be used
for current deficits and new ex-
traVaganccs.

Little Effect Seen
From Italian
{ Situation

Although there was some nerv.
business in certain American stocks
following announcement yester-
day of a break in security prices
in Italy, the best informed local
brokerage opinion here, as ex-
pressed by managers of several
Washington offices, was that the
Italian situation would have very
little, if any, effect upon the
American market.
A few laymen expressed fears
regarding repercussions from
Rome, but the general belief
among those whose opinions have
been regarded as having weight
was that as we are working upon
an entirely different economic
system than the Italians, what
ever happens over there will
make little permanent impression
upon American stocks.
; It was noted in some local
brokerage offices that certain
American stocks sold off toward
the close of yesterdays session
but this was not attributed to the
news from Italy.
So far as the Washington Stock
Exchange was concerned the
italian break had absolutely no
effect upon the issues traded in.
In fact, trading on the local mart
was particularly heavy at sus'
tanned prices.
