Roosevelt is a true Roosevelt. He is 100 percent objective. He has bounce. Like T. R. he abhors weazel words. He never allows his resolution to be "sicklied over by the pale cast of thought." He is a master at compro mise as is every skillful politician, but only when compromise is essential to achievement. A decision once made, in he goes eyes front, and banners flying, with no outward evidence at least of any misgivings as to the result. It is an invaluable quality, for the occupant of the White House to possess at such a time as this. For such a spirit is contagious. Such SELF confidence breeds PUBLIC confidence. Had this country at the present critical time, a leader who was indecisive, timid, wanted to do the right thing, but never could quite make up his mind, in the midst of so many conflicting opinions, as to the Tightness of his own view, the country would be lost. OF course no human being in the president's position, can DEEP down, be as self assured, and self confident as he APPEARS to be. His responsibilities are tremendous. Condi tions are still critical. Every policy he advocates has its opposi tion, for every "expert" that tells him one thing, there is anoth er "expert" to tell him another. . But whatever doubts and misgivings the president may have within, he never shows them to the outside world, nor accord ing to reliable report to his intimates. He comes nearer being captain of his soul and master of his fate" than any occupant of the White House, since his redoubtable, Rooseveltian prede S quality in our opinion is inborn.. It is bred in the fibre the man. It can't be cultivated. It simply is there, or it isn't. ' . Fortunately for President Roosevelt and his country, in his case, there it is. When all is said and done it is the secret of his leadership, the best augury of his ultimate success. To get out of this mess, the country had to have a real leader, with the accent on the REAL. That is what (we admit to the surprise of this newspaper) the country HAS in Presl dent Roosevelt.

The war to end war, brought a national debt of $27,000,000, 000, and didn't succeed. But increasing thst- debt by $5,000, 000,000, we can wage a war to end poverty and human suffering that if we all get together with the true war spirit-ra patriot ism of peace if you please, will succeed.

WHAT doe It meant It means that as long as Frank lin D. Roosevelt holds the reins ot power w are going on with the New Deal. Tou may not Ilk it. Like the hard-boiled advocate of th old order who was quoted In this column the other day, you may feel that It would have been better for us to die of our ailment than to do what w have done. But, barring an upheaval of pub Mo opinion, w are going ahead with th new order. The President, in hia meage, leaves no doubt of that. $35 for his serv ice Including all prenatal care, attend anc In confinement and after-care. Then she had a nurse for two weeks at 35 a week a graduate nurse and. a grand gal though not Reg' lstered. The nurse had the o. k. of the doctor, however.

Her friends donated clothes, all In a Jolly friendly way some new articles, some cast-offs outgrown by their own children but the editor had to part with 75 cents for two shirts for the layette. She says an three of her babies have been pur chased on this same easy payment plan and she Intends to stick to the system for the next three. Gosh, I like to listen to that editors talk-. It acted like antitoxin. A doc tor In practice can manage somehow to keep In mind the fact that the world la not so sordid and ugly as It may appear to his professional eye, But I am conducting a health col umn and It sickens me to find that the most frequent question asked by those contemplating marriage or re cently married Is about "birth con trol." The editor's report of her success ful syatem brought In many letters about the hardships of paying lor 1933 model baby. I gather that people take It Is hardship mainly because nobody who can net out of It Is doing It: whereas paying for the family chariot Is not so hard because everybody'a doing It. One prospective mother who had borne two children without difficulty, had "Ben Told" it "would go hard with her this time because she Is now nearly 40. That's Just on of those old trsdltlons. So this time she de cided to go to a hospital, a so-called free hospital. She says she was kept waiting hours, and then, having passed through six officials, she wmi curtly informed that she must pay $65 in Installments, $10 cash down, and the doctor advised her she shouldn't have the baby If finances, were uncertain .... Well, wtiy did the lady flock to the hospital or clinic along with the rest of the sheep? If ahe had been in America long enough to speak and write the language ahe ought to know that a doctor who la really good prac tices under hi own name, not under ; the name of a hospital, clinic, asso-' elation, corporation or institute. She ought to know, too, that these "free"' 1 or cut-rate "clinics" and the like arc i rackets scheme whereby a group of ! doctors who can't make a go of lt: In private practice and under methods 1 of fair competition, go into a huddle, ! take a name that impresses the peas- i ants, and attract a certain amount, of business on the wholesale basis, i Finally, ahe ought to know that stu dents, internes, tyro doctors, have to get 'their experience serving as assist-; ant or members of the staff tn such i institutions. These apprentices usi- : ally assume more or lea of the re sponsibilities of physicians and sur geons, but are paid perhaps $25 a month by the institution. Likewise, i the probationer or pupil nurses. Is It any wonder such an Institution i can deliver a baby, after, a fashion. 1 at such a bargain price? 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS It fa a. Bit Beyond the Clinic. My physician recommends removal of my tonsils. He says the diathermy Lmethod has been discarded by all the best clinics . . . Mr. H. W. Answer Send a atamped envelope bearing your address and ask, for the name of a physician In your vicinity who Is skilled In diathermy extirpa tion of the tonsils. The method Is a bit too difficult for the tyros in clinics, and It calls for greater skill and patience than most Inexperi enced young doctors have. Consumption Not Romantic.

I Thla writer, wrtb la merely one humble Individual, whose opinion Is of lnslgnlfcant value to anyone but hmself, want. It understood that he doea agree. T IS BETTER, In thla wrlter'a Judg. . ment, that the many ahould have what they need than that the lew should have more than they can use. If the New Deal can, bring that about, It will be one of tne great steps In human progress. THE PRESIDENT Bays: "Civilization can not go back. Civilization must not atand still. We have undertaken new methods. It la our task to perfect, to Improve, to alter when necessary, but In all cases to go forward." The foundera of thla nation, who were regarded aa radical. In their time, felt pretty much that way about It. but what they went ahead and did brought a new day to the world. PHOENIX GRANGERS POSTPONE MEETING HS 8ATS: "The overwhelming majority ol our people seek a greater opportu- PART of the New Deal Is lnsur i ance of bank deposits, for the present up to 2S0O, which la now In effect. That is to say. when you deposit your money in the bank, up to 3500 for the present, you are Inaured through the agency of the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation, which la controlled and backed by the gov ernment, that you will get It back again. THE very big banks In th, big cltlea, generally speaking, have been op posed to deposit Insurance. Probably they are sincere In their opposition. Let us at least give them the benefit of the doubt. But what they fear, undoubtedly, la that de posit Insurance, for which they will have to help pay, will make the smallest bank In the federal reserve system aa safe aa the biggest bank. That will remove a competitive ad vantage which the big banka have had In the past. BUT also It should tend to keep within the emsller communities the money that la theirs. Instead of draining It away to the bigger cen ters, aa haa happened In the recent past. OPPONENTS of deposit Insurance aay It -will encourage unsound bsnklng. la that true? Only experience can tell. But thla much can be said: Banka are only as sound aa the men who run them. If the right kind of men run the banks, they will be sounder than ever with deposit Insurance, for each bank will have ALL banks back of It.
