have spread ad the rumor that lie ho is in bad health and that his mind Is affected this has been an undercover whispering campaign until recently when it flared out into the open I 1 see roosevelt at least mlee a week lie ile Is in line brie shape mentally and PhYSIC physically RIly lie ile Is 13 not breaking break ins down nor cracking up lie he Is not cross petulant tired out and emotionally unstable as has been falsely charged both in whispers and in letters lie ile Is much better oft off mentally than the mass of people there Is nothing eccentric about ills his mental processes roosevelt wakes up with a smile and generally starts the day with a good story or a joke so did lincoln lincolm lie he does a huge amount of work ork in orderly manner roosevelt does docs not bother with details but like a great military commander watches only the major results a matter lie explained in military terms to the graduating class at west point in june of this year no man in the white house can escape the pressure of the tremendous responsibility none but a superman should attempt the task in addition to the tremendous load of administering the regular establishment of government ern ment roosevelt has the double burden of the emergency government to fight the battle of the depression which Is just as much of a load as was wilsons Wll Wil sons during the war that Is not an exaggeration it Is a true statement roosevelt sees only the men he must see every day he does not receive casual callers handshakes hand shakers nor the general public he makes no personal show of himself because he be con series every working hour of the day for the benefit of the government of the united states of america those whom he be consults dally have something to do with the administration of government or the current problems lie he sees his cabinet officers once a week in a formal sessi session on around the cabinet table he be sl sees es the emergency cabinet heads of the alphabetical organizations in a group known as the national emergency council once a week and nowadays he confers with the men at the head of his works progress or organization once a week and keeps his hands on everything of importance every day at lunch which he has in his office he consults with some one of national or even international importance his financial policies are discussed with on mondays at lunch and his bis two weekly press conferences are now famous the world over lie ile can receive from to 1 50 newspaper men at these gatherings and without preparation can shoot anew answers ers back at the them in as fast as they can put them no man who has ever attended one of those gatherings will tell you truthfully that roosevelt Is slipping ills business day generally continues until after G p m then he Is likely to go swimming in the white house pool or possibly take a ride frequent long conferences take place in the white louse house at ni night bt and at no time does roosevelt present any intimation ti or impression that lie he on top of the world and mentally radiant with all of the pressure on oil him all of the tremendous responsibility with a horde of political sharpshooters trying to snipe salpe him in the back roosevelt Is in better humor better mental and physical condition than any president I 1 have known in my time at this stage of the administration when he crosses the country ahls fall as he plans tens of thousands of people will see him and hear him and know these tales of a breakdown are plain bunk the roosevelt health rumor Is not new dew to him he was pursued by it in 1023 1928 when he ran for governor in new york and answered it with a strenuous three weeks campaign then it appeared again in his campaign for the residency presidency A medical journal was used by politicians to spread the story that the tort of paralysis which laid roosevelt low affect the mind that was a vicious blow and a plain untruth as it was afterward proved iut but that rumor Is going about again with the same sort of circumstances actually Roo rooseselt has conquered the III effects of that paralysis ile he hins has done more than most men could have done because in conquering that defect lie he put its his soul through one of 0 the most strenuous drills dallis a mans character can cab exper experience lince and in those lon ion gruelling gruenling gru elling g hours bours he not only conquered the stroke of paralysis but lie he conquered tear fear and learned a self control which mal makes es him master of his fate fam J SORT OF MELON CUTTING the experts in the AAA figure that the difference between the farm dollar and the industrial dollar would warrant wheat adjustment payments of js 3 cents a bushel but they wore were conservative serva tive and have announced 33 cents a bushel for the allotments of co ap aerating wheat aln at farmers this Is a raise of 4 cents over the minimum payments of 1931 1934 which means additional income the total to wheat farmers for 11 will be around the processing tax will stand a d at SO 0 cents it a bushel the extra 8 3 cents mining out of a surplus of AAA funds a sort of melon cutting this 33 cents Is not to bo be paid all at once the first payments will be at the rate of 20 cents a bushel and final payments will be made when administrative costs are figured in the payment will be at least 13 cents less deduction for local costs and it may turn out that the final payment goes to IS 18 cents making 33 S cents a bushel in all this all came out in a proclamation by secretary Secret nry of agriculture wallace just at a time when the future of the administrations form farm policies Is lu in the balance alon along with the administrations orations trat ions lons labor and power policies there Is a strong opposition in the old reactionary hanzs ranks against the AAA and any practical beneficial legislation for agriculture and the same group Is just as much opposed to further advances for organized labor also Is set on stopping the administrations forward march into a cheaper electric light and power era labor has stepped up to an exalted position tion now tor for the first time organized labor has the right by federal law to organize anywhere ant and to be treated on an equal basis with management this is the result of the wagner lewis bill just enacted and which Is called the magna charta of labor organized labor can now join hands politically with agriculture in support of the theory of the new deal which Is to give more elbow room and more profit to the people who produce the goods labor also wants the enactment of the gulley bill providing an NIRA NIIA in the soft coal industry employing halt half a million men most of the mine owners want it too there will probably be labor troubles it if that bill Is delayed there Is no doubt that at least so 80 per cent of the pending new deal legislation will be enacted including some form of control for the po power er trust and wider power for the tennessee valley authority which Is to lead the way ay in supplying electricity to towns and cities at low rates but all these things including AAA and the labor legislation and TVA are to be attacked in the courts the reactionary element will see to that these laws are socially and economically no sound people want them suppose the supreme court declares them unconstitutional it if that occurs it Is likely that agriculture and labor will III be working together for changes in courts or constitution ution which will guarantee the advances made by the new deal opposition HOWLS these new ideas encroaching as they do on the privileges of the old bourbon reactionary types bring forth loud protests from the opposition among whose hose ranks it Is now the fad to charge roosevelt with going socialistic cia listic and undermining the foundations of government latest to make the charge of socialism in a radio talk Is senator metcalfe of rhode island a republican of the 1690 pattern however there Is a genuine socialist party in the united states headed by norman thomas and controlling about a million votes these people laugh at the metcalfe te charges the real socialists who ought to be experts at their own game say the new deal has no relation to socialism the leading socialists here are of the opinion that senator mei ilet calfe know what socialism Is socialists want the government to take over all industry all production all banks railroads all power roosevelt Is opposed to that lie he is for the profit rofle system and Is working to bring about a better condition tor for honest business the old guard then pipes up and says look at TVA where the government Is building four or five big power sites from which electricity Is to be sold in competition with private industry the answer Is that TVA Is a yardstick to show the people how cheap power can be created when not overloaded and robbed by super holding companies socialists themselves look at t it that way the government operates the post ollace which Is the direct descendant of the days when parcels and letters wore were carried by messengers in private employ would metcalfe turn the post office back to private hands another charge against roosevelt a charge that originates with the american liberty league js that of dictatorship tor ship they try to make him I 1 ook look like hitler or Musso lint nonsense the real dictatorship in this country has been for bears ears the dictatorship of organized business americans are slaves to business which lias has reached into home life the schools the state capitals both political parties and into cou congress gress and the way big business used to boat beat a path to the white house was a scandal then there Is the dictatorship of the supreme court a matter now being discussed among liberals congress itself Is a dictator of petty temper too the court of claims Is the place where you go when you have a claim against the government that court Is final but to get your in money 0 ney you have to go to congress which should appropriate the sum the court 0 of f claims allowed sou but many and many a time con congress ress will slap a vate citizen square in the face refus I 1 ing 19 I 1 to appropriate the money the court awards him and generally because
