told because he any that should d te be a hopeful sign in this age when we have grown to imagine that no 01 one 19 without money can run lor for office disheartening though though it be we have to admit that we been ablo able to find yet any concrete evidence ol of the improvement in business conditions ons which the press of the country has been heralding it just dont seem to have reached us

najt ii it already beai thrown into hn lips 0 of wall and la salle sleets 1 I ic wil kli take immediato sepa to rectify said condition to the complete ot of both streets well wei theres a lot ol of soundness in ili the tha presidents dentis contentions and there are around twelve million men over the country who from experience can testify that ll it la is pretty tough to be thrown out ot of a good job in these hard times there is no question that from a standpoint ot of terie fitting the president himself it would be a tine fine thing to reelect re elect him for another term nobody should be silly enough to expect a president to mortgage and foreclose the whole country in one term no matter how capable he might be I 1 many people are inclined to be unfair as well as unsound in their criticism of the president the thee 0 seems to be entirely too many wh would place all the blame for present conditions upon hoover such a stand Is unsound in the extreme every man or woman of normal intelli genco gento should realize that no one man could create a depression like this no matter how hard he might try far be it from us to contend that the president has not done all 11 in ills bis power to enlarge and intensity intensify the present economic cataclysm but we should not overlook the fast fait that there Is a limit to every mans ability lie ile has had the most loyal and cabinet and advia advisors ors ever selected by any chief executive and it seems only fair that credit should go where credit la Is due they too have helped late last month a new patriotic organization was got under way known as the national economy league the sole bole purpose of this league is to work tor for economy eco nom Y in government and its chief and immediate purpose Is to block soldier benefit legislation they would on cut down payments now being paid to world war veterans and they would block in so far as is possible further extension of benefits this league Is composed of men like

with a statement that the greater duty has the greater call well it was a great moment and a great patriotic work was already planned A bunch of gassed and one legged ex soldiers who had had no more

enough finally a fool Lesio in washington for no deayn at all decided decide d hat the national economy league was a bit oft off color nosey like he discovered that about halt ot of the members compo composing slug the league were very rich that a number ot of tire the members were retired army officer all drawing large retirement incomes from rom the government and ho he found to his disgust that general harbord the millionaire head ot of radio corporation ot of america had nor noi reque requested the government to stops stop his tat pension also he found that admiral byrd who is healthy and young was drawing more mon moil ey as a retired N naval officer than any three wounded doughboys dough boys of 0 the 1 I 1 yes indeed those men should feel proud league and their standard of principal probably does not prevent them from feeling proud at any rate it Is a case of mingling pride with considerable embarrassment barras |
