gressional campaign Of 1880 and the
general election of 1882. After the
1880 congressional election the Demo-
Gratis had control of the House. For
defense against the depression, CO.
operation by President and Congress
was extremely desirable. At that time
distinguished Democrat was re-
ported to have suggested for the Demo-
cratic House course discreetly
balanced between politics and patriot
ism. The formula was that the
Democrats should do just enough to
save the country, but not enough to

ing election of 1882. After the elec-
ton, during the four months until
Mr.. Roosevelt was inaugurated in

Democratic party and the Democratic
President could not assume RESPONSE
bility until after they acquired COM
plete power. In political gossip at
the time, the attitude was described
as to the effect that the depression
was mot the Democratic party's baby"
All Agencies Are Alert.
The depression continued to be not
the New Deals baby during the whole
| OF the early part OF the New Deal ad-
ministration. 1t was the New Deals
asset. Steps that were taken were
based on the ground that they were
necessary to bring the depression to
an end. And in the 1884 congressional
election and the 1885 general one, the
New Deal appeal to the country for
continuation in power was put fire.
quently in the form Of 1--WE saved you
from the Hoover depression"
But the New Dealers realize that
any depression which might come now
would be not the Hoover depression
but Roosevelt one. For this reason
practically every agency OF the ad-
ministration concerned either with
markets or with business conditions is
anxious and alert.
To the business men, however, and
the public generally, all this political
angle" is a little disgusting. What
they want to know is whether a de-
preston or recession of any serious
degree Is ahead. II a recession comes.
and II 1t has anything near the same
proportions as the drop In the mar

~ ESIDES their strange habit Of
- barking or giving a queer cry,
these animals are interesting
- in many other points. They
are small Asiatic deer, known as
muntjacs. They have been placed
In a distinct genus and are dis
tinguished from all other members
Of the genus Cervus, because of their
simple, short two third antlers. These
antlers are mounted on pedicles of
the skull that are as long or longer
than even the antlers. They diverge
from the center line of the lower part
Of the forehead and from this point
begin as riblike bars. Because of
this unusual feature they are known
among many as rib-faced deer.
You can see that the brow-tine of
the antlers is short and that it is
directed skyward while the tip of the
undivided beam has a tendency to
point inward :,
The bucks are somewhat larger
than the females and they are
equipped with long projecting tusks
In the upper jaw that are handy tools
Tor swapping twigs and in battles.
The barking deer is not sociably in
clined toward his fellows. He some
times travels with . mate, though
more often he is alone His beautiful
fur coat is a rich chestnut brown,
inclined to be darker on the back
and less glossy and bright below
His chin, upper throat and under
surface of his body are white. The
tail, what there is Of it, and the
inner sides Of the thighs are white,

to his foes for he has the unfortunate
habit of voicing his emotions for an
hour or more, which is very foolish
thing for him to do.
Kakars or barking deer are speed
sters Of the jungle. They have a
technique when running that has
proved most successful. The head is
held low and their hind quarters are
slightly elevated. They make a weird
rafting sound Git is thought with the
mouth) when they race along.
Hunting dogs and neighboring AMI
mails that trouble them are often
routed by q snap or two Of their
sharp tusks. which are their only
weapon Of defense.
The lovely fawns are June or July

fathers shed their antlers in the
month Of May and have . complete
new set by August.

Stocks and Politics
Leaders of Administration Will Seek to Avert
Business Recession With Elections in the Offing

without being accompanied by some
degree OF business recession. Such
market drops, even If they are not
result, can become cause. They be-
come a cause both in actuality and
IN the psychological sense. A busi-
ness man or a farmer or an investor
who few months ago added up the
values OF his inventories or his ripen-
ing crops or his securities and found
himself in comfortable circumstances
such a man would contemplate
building a house or buying a car or
some other outlay. The same man,
adding up the values of his commodi-
ties or securities today, finds his net
worth disturbingly low compared to
what 1t was few months ago. Such
a man is likely to conclude not to
make the outlay which little while
ago he contemplated serenely.
Recession Is Forecast.
That there will be some degree of
recession Is reasonable inference and
a commonly held opinion among per-
sons Of good judgment. 1t Is the
equally general Judgment of well-in-
formed persons, however, that the
drop in the securities markets (as dis
tinguished from the drops in the COM
modify markets) have been more ex-
treme than would be justified by any
likely lowering of trade. The regula-
tions Of the Securities Exchange Com
mission set up by the New Deal ad-
ministration are in all cases we'll in
tended and in many cases useful. 1t
Is clear, however. that some of the
regulations have the effect of making
the buyers side of the market abnor-
mally thin, and therefore causing a
drop in prices to be more extreme than
is justified by conditions outside the
Stock Exchange This cause within
the stock market may. as Mr.. Win
throp Aldrich puts it, distort the
barometer.
Will Seek to Avoid Recession.
One cause there Is which is not
within the control Of the administra-
ton. The war between China and
Japan, and disturbed conditions else
where in the world, are likely to re-
suit for the time in some reduction of
our foreign trade. A school Of thought
and business has grown up in America
which pooh -poohs" our foreign trade,
says that it ordinarily accounts for
only some per cent of the country's
total business, and that therefore it
is negligible. oBut the balance wheel
| Of watch is less than per cent Of
the whole, and decidedly is not negli-
gible.
II the leading men Of the admin
istration, the responsible ones, can
avert recession, they will. II the lead
ers Of the Democratic party In Con-
gress can 50 conduct the legislative
program Of the coming session as to
avert recession, they certainly will
their self-interest is involved, for the
whole of the House and q third Of the
Senate come up for denomination and
election next year.
