WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 3.
When Mr. Roosevelt concluded his
reassurance radio talk Sunday night,
he turned to his
secretary anl
aid: "There's
nothing like get
ting mad once m
a while, is there.
Mac?" Mac agreed
there wasn't.
All who were
elose at hand
also agreed that
Mr. Roosevelt
never smiled less
and pounded the
table more. His
text may have
been Judicial in tone, but his manner
of delivery was certainly challenging.
The crescendo was reached when he
epat that phrase about British bank
ers co-operating with their govern
ment, leaving an implication which
American bankers could not have
mlfsed.
Those who will see the movie ver
sion of the speech may not believe
this story, for. when the president
repeated portions of his talk for the
sound cameras his manner was dif
ferent. He was more like hla old
self, smiling and expostulating. His
first manner, however, tells the real
story behind the speech, and the
tone may prove to be aa significant as
the text.
The tone mplies very clearly that
there may be some change In meth
ods of the new deal, but no change
in purpose. It Is clear that Mr. Roose
velt may hereafter administer his
business reform medicine with a pat
or the back Instead of a tweak of the
nose, but It will Mill be the same
medicine.
This represents a moderation of the
attitude taken in the Green Bay
speech, some weeks ago, but no com
F tent authority here believes H
means a trend toward conservative
policies.
The best business advisory services
are telling their clients that they had
better plan for the Immediate future
c the basis of the existing situation.
No promises can be made now about
budget balancing, NRA reorganiza
tion, taxes or money, except In the
general terms which already have
been employed.
Tiger Infield Commits Five
Errors in Inning Cards
Bombard Trio of Pitchers
to Clinch Opening Contest
Mr. Roosevelt's pointed reference to
bankers Is supposed to have been in
spired by the recent turn-over in the
bond market during the government
refinancing, and to the fact that only
a few bankers have been able to see
the possibilities of small homing
loans.
It la not much of a secret thai
ome of the bankers have started a
rush for short-term government
paper and shied away from the
longest-term bonds.
lao, one sympathetic bank in New
Tork is supposed to have made more
bousing loans than all the rest of the
banks In that city. There la no ques
tion but that the banks In England
co-operatert better with their govern
ment, but there are only a few ol
them: whereas our far-flung bank
ing system represents all shades ot
opinions and views.
NAV1N FIELD. DETROIT. Oct. 3.
(AP) The St. Louts Cardinals, be
hind the steady pitching of lanky
Dizzy Dean, crushed the Detroit
Tigers, 8 to 3, In the first game of

dinal outfielder, led the 13-hlt assault
on the Tiger veterans with four hits,
one a homer In closing salute to
Crowder with the bases empty In the

much rest since the close of the Na
tional league season Sunday, held the
Bengals to eight hits, one a homer
by Hank Greenberg with none on In
the eighth.

MISTERS FAVOR
Niedermeyer, Inc., yesterday filed a
motion, petition, and answer. In their
NEW YORK. Oct. 3. (flV-Supreme :ult against Earl H. Fehl, Electa A.
rem, and the pacific Kecora-Heraia,
to whom they shall make restitution,
In accordance with the modified de
cree handed down last June, by the
state supreme court. On an appeal
to the supreme court, the defendants
were granted certain modifications.
The answer seta rorth that Jackson
county has fileV claim against Fehl
for $5094.50 fo- .its of his trial, on
Home renovators who are paying 9.7
per cent interest probably never will
be able to understand why the bank
era are not rushing out to hand them
money. Also some congressmen are
beginning to wonder why the home
renovation loans are bearing P.7 per
cent, whereas the law calls for A per
cent.
The facts behind that situation are
not hard to understand. When you
get a home renovation loan of $100
from a bank, the Interest Is deducted
before you get the money. At 5 per
cent, that means a deduction of $5
a year. You pay the money back in
12 monthly Installments, so, after six
months, you have paid off half the
loan, although you paid the interest
for the full loan for a year. On the
ba.ls of the amount of the loan actu
ally in your possession through the
year, the original $5 deduction fig
ure out at an Interest rate of .097166
Such arrangement are usual for
inmnllment loans. Moat lawyers will
agree that the 9.7 rate cornea within
th S per cent restriction of the home
renovation law.
You can get a better slant at the
situation by comparing the home
renovation loan plan with private in
stallment loan plans.
If you only knew It. you pay a
nui'-h as 18 per cent interest fin
financing charges! when you buy
your automobile, if you fSeure the in
trret on the same bnsla as people
row are fjcurlng the home loan in
tcrrst at 9 7 per cent. Also, certain
private home loan agencies working
on the installment plan charge aa
inirh as 17 to 23 per cent on their in
stalment loans.

state penitentiary shortly after mid
night this morning after telling his
religious con feasor he was "glad to
go" because the confinement was
driving him mad.
On the scaffold, he appeared tired
and his eyes were red, witnesses re
ported. His voice was calm, however,
as he said at the last:
"God bless you and have mercy on
my soul. To my wife and babies, I
bid you goodbye."
He was pronounced dead by the
prison physician at 12:23 a. m.
The hanging occurred nearly three
years and a half after Marshal Geo
Warring, of Mabton, was shot and
killed as he entered the Miller home,

At the regular meeting of the Med
ford Ministers' association, held yes
terday at the Lutheran church, the
association voiced approval of a cam
paign to secure the revocation of
licenses of "certain notorious beer
parlora and other dlvea to fore the
hand of the state liquor commission."
The report of the meeting reads:
The association discussed at length
the possibility of arousing In the
community, aufflctent aentlment
against the operation of certain noto
rious beer parlors and other dives
to force the hana of the state Uquor
commission to close them. The fact
was brought to light that the local
city and county authorities cannot
even so much aa revoke a license,
regardless of flagrant violations of the
law. but must turn the matter over
to the commission. The commission
seems to table all proposals to close
such dives, regardless of the feel
ing of the community. A committee
waa named to formulate plans, and
Investigate certain angles of the situ
ation, with a view to determine, If
possible, the community's right in
the matter. The ministers were
strongly In favor of testing the law
regarding tha operation of beer par
lors, or tha sale of uquor in any way,
shape of form, within 300 feet of any
church or school. It waa pointed out
that this law la being violated right
and left and so far nothing has been
done about It. If action can be se
cured from the state liquor oommU
slon, tha ministers are determined
that every place now selling liquor In
violation of this law, shall be ciosea.
The association bcllovea that the
time has arrived wncn tha people of
the churches must take up the fight
against tha tide of drinking and rav
elling that la sweeping the county
and this city, and It Intends to lesd
the people In this fight.
The following members of tha as
sociation were present: Rev. Oeo. P.
Kabele, Lutheran church; Rev. Jos
eph Knotts, First Methodist; Rev. W.
R. Balrd, Christlsn church; Rev. Wil

MOW YORK, Oct. 2. This
ninrninj; tlio New York Times
kidded mo nbout my wanting
to know the definition of
"liberty." Well, rend the very
lust paragraph of Mr. Roose
velt's radio speech Sunday
niulit. It says "I nm not for a
return to that definition of
liberty under which fr ninny
years a free people wero reg
imented into tho service of the
privileged. I prefer that
bronder definition of liberty
under which wc arc movinc;
forwurd to greater freedom."
So, Mr, Times man, I am not
the only one that thinks the
definition of liberty is kinder
flexible. So if you don't know,
ask your congressman.
I am leaving here right now
to sec Mr. Henry Kord and
gentleman named Dean who is
to be in Detroit too.
