Prosperity can be returned only if confidence, that is BUSINESS confidence, is restored. Business confidence can 'be restored, only if all attempts to reform business practice is abandoned.. Therefore President Roosevelt must abandon hi program of reform, if the country is to be saved from disaster. Tho above is what is called a syllogism. Perhaps there is a fluw in it somewhere, we hope there is but the nearer Uncle Sam approaches the precipice, the stronger our fears, there ISN'T 1 And if there isn't, then whatt Merely this: , Our second" Roosevelt, like our first, makes his political exit, as a flereated ana disillusioned uon Quixote. Many people have forgotten T. R. the Bull Moose, but this column hasn t. And as a Bull Moose, Theodore the 1st, ran for President on the most enlightened and progressive platform, a major party in this country has ever adopted. But while T. R. received a large popnlnr vote he only carried two or three states. And his defeat ended the Progressive party and the progressive movement. T. R. was a trreat liberal and a great fighter, but he was also a very practical man ano knew when he had had enough. That defeat of 1012 convinced him he had been fighting wind mills, and he had no stomach for the role of Don Quixote. So he ouit. threw. down his lance of social and economic reform. and REjoincd the G. O. P. That lance lay there where it had fallen until two decades Inter, Franklin D. Roosevelt picked it up. And now where are we! Prettv much where we started from. Theodore Roosevelt believed in tho capitalistic system, (everyone did in his day) but he also believed it needed reform. And his idea of reform came as truly under the general heading of "a fairer distribu tion of wealth," as his distant kinsman's New Ileal program did, and does. Only T. R, called it the SQUARE deal." What he wanted was less power financial and political for the FEW, more for the MANY, and tho platlorm on which he ran against, 'lair and Wilson, was a clear cut ai d militant demand for just THAT. . . But business in this country, particularly Big Business, had no more use for T. R. and his program THEN, than it has for F. D. R. and his program NOW. Had T. R. won in 1912, busi ness confidence would have, been so shattered, that with the oneniniz of the world war, undoubtedly one of tho worst depres sions in American history, would have been the result. Whyt Because T. R, was wrong? No he wasn t wrong, he was right. Just ns F. D, R todny, is ESSENTIALLY right. But this country is a business, man s country, and reform any reform worthy of the nnme, means at least a temporary reduction of profits, during the period of readjustment. And business refuses to submit to that. At least without a knock down and drag out fight. And such a fight means war, and such a war means the destruction of business confidence. Q. E. D.l So whatl It's too early to say with any finality. But thisVis a blue Monday. for the first time in two weeks the sun is on a strike, and we never should have eaten that second piece of strawheiry shortcake, anyway. So our guess is Big Business is going to win tins second bout with a Roosevelt, just as it did tho first. There can be no enduring prosperity without business conn dence. And anv reform program which threatens to materially reduce profits, eliminate the gambling chance of EXCESSIVE profits destroys business confidence. So when business confidence goes, and prosperity with it, the popular demand for a return of both is so insistent and overwhelming that no individual or pnrty can stand against it In short unless business becomes wise enough to see th- need of its own reform, from the standpoint of its OWN sell interest, there is apt to be no reform. For business therefore it is a race between enlightenment and destruction, which to express it mildly, is extremely un fortunate! R. W. K.

WHAT IS NERVOUSNESS? Fifteen or twenty years ago Class B neurotics, who were more numerous and much bolder about It than they are today, regu larly took re venge on me by forwarding clip- pings from alleged health column conduct ed by an eminent spec 1 a 11 t In a great metropoli tan paper. It seemed this big shot fairly oozed sympathy and kindness and nothing much else, but how his readers admired him and loved him for ltl By contrast my mean little wisecracks and hard-boiled attitude stood out painfully. Honestly, I blushed many a secret blush, but I reckon I was born that way. Well, the great metropolitan health column specialist didn't last long I dunno whether his supply of sympathy be came exhausted or whether the cus tomers grew tired of It; in fact the great metropolitan paper that carried his column has passed into history too. Just natural deaths, both of 'em. When I get mine it'll probably be murder. Ha. and there's a title for a murder mystery The Pasteurized Milk Puzzle.

Bar rett fnm erorar, was found yesterday statea and cities, the government will aAk them to borrow money from the public. And, instead of being non Interest bearing, tho proposed bonds will carry a reasonable rate of Inter est guaranteed by the federal treas ury. Then the president plans to sweeten the public works pot for the states and cities, not by lotting them borrow money without interest, but by promising to pay the Interest on all money they borrow. Thus will be created the new class of securities etate and municipal bonds whose holders will receive fed eral dollars in Interest, and state and municipal dollars in principal pay ments, so far as is known, no such division of responsibility for the car rying charges on public debt has ever before been tried out. The period of the proposed bonds la limited to fifty years under the terms of tho draft bill. And while the Intention Is to sell the bond finally to the public. It is expected that during the time of emergency, when the projects are getting under way and the pump t Just being primed, the bonds will be taken up by the reconstruction finance cor poration. As in the past, the RPC'8 avtute chairman, Jesse H. Jones, will be permitted to resell the bonds, which he should have little trouble in doing in view of the federal In terest guarantee. bureau statisticians have figured out that the new scheme. In effect, offers the borrowers no more than a 46 per cent grant would offer. The most Interesting feature of the scheme, from tho point of view of the history of these last months, is this rather deceptive twist It has, by which open grants and thus open In creases in federal debt aro carefully avoided. From the start, a major fac tor in holding the president's hand from pump-priming was the desire to avoid a still higher national In debtedness. Some measure of his anx iety about tho business situation may be gained from the fact that, in the end. he hastily accepted the new scheme, which la the same aa an In crease in the debt, but, presumably smells the sweeter lust because it dors have another name. Man About Manhattan By (iKOItCK TUCKER In effect, what Is contemplated Is not an Increase in the federal debt, but Its equivalent, an increase In the annual fixed chatyes of the govern ment. Just how tar the increase will go la difficult tti predict. In the first place, a great many states and municipalities hare reach ed their borrowing limit. Interest guarantee or no Interest guarantee. And. in the se-ond, boiled down to Its rwent'slB. the nw scheme does not offer the state and cities much better terms than the old rWA loan aad grant pira. ludead, budget In the draft bill, although the states and cities will have the responsibility of raising the money for the new public works, there la no provision to enlarge their freedom in tvpending It. The same old clause la retained, un der which the president and Secretary of the Interior Harold I. Ickea have the power to approve the proposed project, and set up conditions gov erning their construction. In this fashion, apparently, the re doubtable Mr. Ickes' power Is to be added to once moro. Curiously enough, he is understood to have known nothing of the new pump-priming scheme. Secretary of Agriculture Hen ry A. Wallace, Works rrogreas Admin istrator Harry I.. Hopkins and Chair man Marrtner S. Eccles of the federal reserve board were the chief pres idential advisers on pump-priming. Iir once, the kitchen cabinet ot left-winger was left rather out in the cold. and. while the actual origin of the Interest-guaranteed loan Idea Is still cloaked In mystery, the ben authorities are unanimous in sug gesting that the president thought tt up himself. Certr.nly, the whole business was hurried and purzllng. Tha brilliant government lawyers who prepared the two-pane draft already mentioned re ceived their orders only acren days wo. and there Js still talk that the orders may be countermanded.

A dozen years ago, she was all powerful In Europe. Her people were united. Her armies were the mightiest on earth. Her finances were sound. Security seemed within her grasp. THE armies of France are mighty still. But her government Is weak. Ministries rise, stagger along for a few weeks and FALL. Her people are torn with discord. Hef finances are shaky. When France apeaks, her voice is no longer the voice of command. It la the voice of entreaty, WHY this change? Us ten: For years, in France, the sound doctrine that if you spend more than you take In you will go broke has been ignored, and France has gone merrily on spending more than her inccme. In France, the demagogue poli ticians have taught class to hate class. Why was the law passed? It gave lobbyist another opportunity to steal WITHIN the Jaw.

A third or more of the cream removed, BY LAW, from the natural milk; the 8 per cent milk sold to the consumer at from two to three times what the pro ducer gets, for the same milk with ALL the cream In It; being forced to pay extra for the cream that should be In the milk; undernour ished children crying for milk the producer Is not allowed to OIVE him. even if It la skimmed blue.

To tho Editor: It looks as if people ore beginning to regard the state milk law as asi nine as the government's potato law. This much-ado about sanitation and "safe milk Tor babies" was the smoke scrern behind which lobbyists again worked to steal from the people. For years beforo the milk law was passed, the many small dairies I know, of from two to eight or ten cows had a bacteria count month after month for raw milk of 1 s than 1000 CC.
