DEFENDS ROOSEVELT
AND his ADMINISTRATIONS

Editor. The Times: A recent
issue o. The Times In me Pulse
81 tha Fubllc contained bitter
TRADE against our pFekidsn, and
h.s efforts 10 bring about living
conditions for the masses Of
Americans. who have been cheat
ed Of their hlrthrsght by favored
money changers who have had
free access 10 all departments
Of our government with the re-
suit that the masses OF common
people were confused and help
less when Roosevelt was inau-
gurAted six and q half years
ago.
The letter In question Is signed
John Larson. and he proceeds 10
tell the world a few things.
First. Larson takes a thrust
At Roosevelt for advancing the
date Of Thanksgiving. What an
objectionable sin for our presi-
dent after consulting competent
and patriotic citizens and especi-
ally those whose business may
be affected by the change. to
make the change. without con-
sulting Ar. Larson ? A wicked
and preSumptuous act. Of course.
but what else can We expect
from a president who wishes 10
see all citizens enjoying the
plenty which nature can and
does produce. He actually thinks
that the ring OF freedom alone
Is not enough for the common
people, so instead OF chanting
about our 'individualism.H and
rights under the greatest guar
antee OF freedom the world has
ever seen. he just proceeds TO
feed the hungry. heal the sick,
and comfort the broken-hearted.
Perhaps he goes a step too far
in this direction. but so much
the better than chanting about
individualism and liberty hereto
fore unknown 10 mankind. The
stomach will collapse on such
chanting. Even Hitler and Stain
offer more than this.
But even the meddlesome
Thanksgiving proclamation is
not enough TO find and charge
against cur president. He actu-
ally sabotaged or destroyed
some OF the bountiful surplus
of clothing and food which had
been cached, and guarded for
profit BY these worshipers Of
indiyidualism. No matter II this
surplus was preserved and dis
tributed TO the needy. Why
should not the liberty loving
capitalists share their profits
from the transaction Treason
in business way. of course.
II must cease, The god OF
profits must have his pound OF
flesh.
When Roosevelt was inau-
surated. business was stagnated,
and helpless. This had immedi-
ate attention and relief, but not
by chanting about individual
ism and constitutional rights.
The president actually ruled by
proclamation until congress
could help untangle the mess
left at his doorstep by the wor-
shipper of individualism and con-
stitutionsl rights. Relief came
and general happiness and con-
tentment with it. but behold the
worshipers Of liberty and indi-

CHINESE Wins
APPEALED CASE
Seattle immigration
Heads Planned BY
Two Judges

SAN FRANCISCO - The L. 8.
circuit court Of appeals Thursday
upheld the citizenship OF Yuen Boo
Ming. Chinese laborer Of Seattle,
and criticized the Seattle immigra-
ton authorities for its handling of
the case.
The decision reversed the find
ings OF the federal district court
Of Seattle and ordered Ming re-
leased from immigration custody.
Ming. the son of a l. $. citizen,
was certified for citizenship Aug.
%. 1922. A few years later he
made a trip 10 the Orient. and on
his return Aug. u. 1887. he was
arrested on charges Of attempting
to gain entrance TO the country
on fraudulent statements.
Judges William Denman and
Clifton Mathews, who rcnd-
cred the courts opinion. scored
the immigration authorities
for their administration of the
matter.
The case Is an important one
because it shows a continuation in
the immigration bureau OF Seattle
OF violation Of the fundamental
principles OF Justice the opinion
said. AS Justice Holmes of the
u. S. supreme court once said, 1t
is better that many Chinese be
improperly admitted to the coun-
try than one worthy man be ex-
Guided.
ION two former occasions we
have noted such conduct by the
immigration bureau of Seattle.
The complaint charges nothing
actually known as fact, but only
the information and beliefs OF bu-
reau officials. II is an affront TO
the ordinary citizens view toward
the Chinese exclusion act, and an
other violation of principles of ad-
ministrative conduct.
'.The case appears TO he one
of the reasons for the ordinary
saying in this country; Not
Chinaman's chance"
The opinion limited that the i'm
migration authorities had sought
10 hold Ming on the current accu-
satiOn SO as to cancel another
charge it intended to place against
him.

Deficient Diet Cause of Pellagra

The word pellagra comes from
the Italian "pelle agra" meaning
rough skin; and the disease begins
as a skin eruption which becomes
dark and scaly and appears on both
sides of the body at the same time.
Soreness of the mouth, indigestion,
and disturbance of the nervous sys-
tenn follow, and insanity and death
often result. Pellagra is common in
parts of the South where the food
supply is limited, with little milk,
meat, fresh fruits, and vegetables.
But it is by no means confined to
the South; it may occur wherever
the diet is deficient in these pro-
tective foods.

When to the fowers-so beautiful
The Father gave name,
Back came little blue-eyed one
(All timidly it came),
And standing at its Fathers feet,
And gazing in His face
1t said in low and trembling tones,
With sweet and gentle grace,
Dear God, the name thou gavest me
Alas! I have forgot"
Then kindly looked the Father down,
And said, "Forget-me-not."

Nelson's prayer before the battle
of Trafalgar found in his diary Oc-
tober 81, 1905, was: MAY the great
God whom I worship grant to my
country and for the benefit of Eu-
rope in general great and glorious
victory, and may no misconduct in
any one tarnish it, and may hui
manity after the victory be the pre-
dominant feature in the British
fleet"
