Steer Remonetized by Order of the President--Recovery
Program Developments--Huey Long's Income
Tax Under Investigation.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
ILVER has come back. By execu-
tive order of President Roosevelt
it is remonetized In the United States
and will ba coLned on a large scale.
F o r m a 11 y ratifying
the London confer-
once agreement and
exercising the powers
given him by the in,
fiation amendment to
the farm adjustment
act, the President di-
rected all the federal
mnts to accept for
coinage all silver
mined hereafter in
the United States or
mator Its possessions, up to
I Plttman 24,000,000 ounces a
year, at a price of 64 cents an
ounce. This is to be in force for four
years.
The government split the present
legal price of $1.29 an ounce for sll-
.vor In half in reaching a purchase
• ure which is 19 cents an ounce
over the present open market.
'Tall proclamation," the lesident
wrote, "in accordance with thb act
of congress, opens our mints to the
coinage of standard silver dollars
from silver hereafter produced in the
United State& or its possession& sub-
Ject to the depositors of such silver
surrendering to the government one-
half of it as selgntorage and to cover
all usual charges and expenses. The
dollar coined from half of such newly
mined silver will be returned to the
depositor. The half surrendered to
the government will be retained by
the treasury."
Mr. Roosevelt, in ratifying the
agreement, pointed out that such a
ties already has been taken bY the
government of India and that other
nations concerned were ready also to
act.
Most Jubilant of all public men
over the President's action was Sena-
tor Key Plttman of Nevada, who, as
a delegate to the London conference,
took a leading part In drawing up
the silver agreement He foresees
greatly increased export business as
a result of the move because the buy-
ing power of the silver-using coun-
tries of the Far East, especially
China and India, is lifted by about 50
per cent
Senator Plttman said the effect of
the new order would be to take into
the treasury about 24,000,050 ounces
of silver, to coin one.half of it and
deliver it to the owner or depositor
of the sliver. The ther 50 per cent
will be retained asbutllon in the
treasury, It is his epectatlon that
the new order of the White House
will give great encouragement to the
silver mining regions of the West.
OTH the federal Surplus Relief
corporation and the agricultural
adjustment administration have been
purchasing commodities for the relief
of the idle, and thereby economy and
efficiency have suffered. Such pur-
chasing operaUons have now been con-
solidated tn the Surplus Belief corpora"
€Ion.
The administration also was com-
pleting plans for utilizing the SurplUS
Relief corporation as a device for re.
tiring millions of acres of submarginal
lands from cultivation. The work IS
being directed by Rexford G. Tug-
well, assistant ecretary of agrlcul-
lure, and it is planned to use funds
of the public works administration to
purchase the economically unproduc-
tive aress.
NOTHFR development of the new
deal in relation to farmers may
be expected soon. Experts of the Agri-
culture department are working on the
details of a huge federal corporation
to finance renovation of farm homes
on liberal credit terms. The civil
works administration has undertaken
a census of farm homes to find out
what is needed. Loans are contem-
plated for the addition of rooms, and
for the repair, replacement or instal-
laflon of electric refrigeration, electric
lights; and for new plumbing and
landscaping. The government would
buy the necessary materials and con.
tract with private concerns for the
work.
FFICIALS of 21 railroad unions
met in Chicago and adopted a pro-
gram of desired legislation that in-
eludes a six-hour working daY for the
million or more railway workers in the
country as a means of Increasing em-
ploymenL
A. F. Wlfltney, president of the
Brotherhood of Ptlway Trainmen,
who acted as chairman at the meet-
ing, estimated that a six.hour day
would cost the railroads of the coun-
try $800,000,000 annually. The rail.
roads themselves have estimated the
probable cost at twice that amount,
he admitted.
The same weekly and monthly basic
pay schedules are to be retained for
the railway men under the program.
FTER receiving a report from an
tnvestigat eommittce headed
by Robert S. Lynd, the consumers' ad-
visory board of the NRA recommend-
ed the establishment of a consumers'
standards board that would be charged
with the development of means of en-
forcing accurate labeling. Among the
articles named as needing quality grad,
ing are gasoline, razor blades and cl-
dren's shoe Legitimate industry, in
the opinion of the board, is encounter-
Ing destructive competltto from un-
ethical producers who are reducing the
quality of their products to fill the gap

ard
Administrator Hugh S. Johnson was
busy trying to clear up the situation
concerning the cleaners and dyers,
Many in this industry had been cited
for prosecution for refusing to com.
ply with prescribed minimum prices.
The cash-and-arry cleaners contend-
ed these prices were so high that their
business would be ruined.
Johnson defended the prices pre-
scribed as "reasonable and fair for the
quality of cleaning which the public
has the right to expect," but conceded
that "there is some demand for lower
quality or so-called scamped work."
"Accordingly," he continued, "clean-
ere who wish to maintain higher prices
and higher standards, may Join with
the President to continue the minimum
prices originally approved and such
cleaners will be given the right tO dis*
play the blue eagle with appropriate
insignia yet to be decided on, indicat-
ing they are maintaining higher qual-
ity and higher prices."
HEN President Roosevelt's pet
project in the Tennessee valley
is far enough advanced to manufacture
electric power it is going to produce a
lot of it, and consumers will be need-
ed. So, to create a market for this
energy the President has set up a
million dollar mortgage loan corpora-
tion, using public works funds, and di-
rected it to finance electric appliance
purchases in the Tennessee region.
Cheap credit will be extended to all
home owners and residents within
the Tennessee Valley Authorlty area
for this purffose.
Manufacturers of electrical house-
hold goods are enthusiastic over the
prospect of having the government fur-
nish funds with which their products
can be bought
ENATOR HY P. LONG, the Lou-
isiana 'lgflsh," may be nearing
the end of his rope. The latest news
about him Is that the administration
has decided upon his
prosecution on the
often heard charges
of evasion of income
taxes. When Mr. Hoo-
ver was President an
lnvestigatron of his re-
ceipts, as well as those
of his political associ-
ates in Loulsianswas
started, and dropped
probably because the

Senator Long was near. Now thls
inquiry has been resumed..the agents
of the internal revenue department
seeking to find out whether Long re
ported in his income tax schedules all
the sunm he received both as governor
of Louisiana and as United States
senator. In Washington it is held vir-
tually certain that this action has the
approval of President Roosevelt.
Huey himself professes not to be
worried. "That matte was scheduled
to come up now," he said to an inter-
viewer. "It has been up 750 times be.
fore, and always comes Just before
congress meets. I am not Interested."
Longs power In his home state is,
fast waning. In the first place, he has
been unahle to obtain any recognition

CHAPTER VI
14---
He had not seen, the next morning
When, carlier than usual, he left for
his office He still had not seen, three
weeks later, when the duly registered
voters of the district signified at the
polls their willingness to have him rep.
resent them In the legislature at Bel-
ford that winter, and he came home,
tn the gray dawn following election
day, to tell her so.
During the Intervening time, s*-ug-
Sling, striving to keep on her feet, and
do her work, Anne had waited, at first
hopefully, then despairingly, for the
confidences which she had expected he
would pour into her ear, the advice
which he would seek from her "wom-
anly intuition," She was sure there
must be principles at stake, great prin-
ciples by which he must either Stand
or fall Instead, she heard, when he
had time to talk to her at all about
reilfes, about advertising space In
newspapers, about quantities of cigars
and doze of bottle of whisky. Sick
as she felt, she longed to have him ask
her to go with him to some of the
public meetings but he never did. He
had a secretary at his office now, Miss
Llllle Letts, who chewed gum and wore
transparent, flesh-colored shirtwalsts:
but she was effielent she did everything
for Neal that Anne had pictured her-
self doing some day. Anne sat at
home, coughing her head off--for her
cold had settled in her chestand ach-
ing all over. mentally as well as
physically. There were no evenings
together In the Morris chair, her head
on his shoulder, his arms about her.
She tried to walt up for him. night
after night, but she was so tired, and
he was so late--nearly always after
dnlgh She was never asleep when
he came in, but whether he hesitated
to risk disturbing her, or whether he
was too tired himself to crave for her
companionship-- Anne never knew
which It was---he tumbled into bed be-
side her without a sign that he was
aware of her presence. In the morn-
lug he never wakened until she shook
him gently, telling him that he had
overslept, or the telephone bell Jan-
glad across hls blurred sense Then
he bolted hls breakfast, and was gone.
Then finally he came to her and told
her that he had won. . . .
o that was What a campaign was
llke.
The legislature met In anuary, still
two months away. In the meantime,
Neal felt that he must, as far as pos-
sible, catch up with his neglected pro-
fession. It had been neglected, of
course; but it had not suffered. He
had gained prestige as a successful
candidate, and new eases poured in
upon him. He decided to keep an
extra room, and Miss Lotto. He really
needed both. At last he talked to
Anne about his plans for going to
Belf0rd,
"I shall have to be there at least
from Monday to Thursday every week.
And it seems to me that it would be
better for you to stay right on here.
The sessions will be over In April Of
course It Isn't as 4f you were lU a
h)use all alone. I know Mrs. Stm.
mona is right here, and you can call on
her, if you need anything."
This time, had any reply been ex.
peeled of her, Anne could not have
made it. He meant to leave her be-
hind ! The idea had never occurred
to her, and here It was all mapped out,
in orderly fashion, In his mind, He
would miss her so little, with his new
interests, that he could face with reslg.
nation---with approval--the thought of
being separated from her more than
half the time for several months. And
she would not have left him, for any
known bribe, o spend a few days dur-
ing the torrid summer among the
monntalns, that were so dear to her.
She had slaved for his comfort, for his
well being, and she had insured both,
at the cost of her own radiant health.
for try as she might, she could not
seem to pull herself up physically.
MercifulLy, she did not doubt either
I love or his sincerity, as indeed, she
no reason to do. He was looking
at the situation in the reasonable.
logical way, the way he always looked
at.everything, the way that enabled
him to get ahead so fast
mast passion for her awakened again
and burned more hotly than ever be
fore. But it had a different quality.
If It was more intense, it was less ten-
der. He sought to possess her the
more completely In the present be-
cause the past had dispossessed him,
and because the future was about to
do so, fiercely resentful of a condition
for which he had only himself to
blame. There was a lack of spon-
taneity, a weariness, in Anne's r
sponse, which changed It from an an-
swering flame to a mere affectionate
and dutiful acquiescence; still she
never failed to respond. And Neal no-
ticed the change in her far less than
she noticed the change in hln
The holidays brought a flash of gay-
ety. Neal had whipped his affairs into
shape, and was ready enough to Join In
a few festivities before his departure.
Somewhat tardily, he became aware
that Anne's trousseau had grown very
shabby, and that neither she--nor he
--had suggested that she might llke to
have some new clotbe Neal gave her
two dress lengtha---a black satin and
a green voile-and she made them up
herself, on the superior sewing ma-
chine. On a visit to Boston, he bought
a long, fur-trlmmed coat, with hat to
match, and sent them to her.
He never knew how seldom she wore
them. His days in Hlnsboro, which
dwindled to one, or at the most two, a
week, were spent In feverish activities
at the office. He gave up all pretense
of getting home to supper, not even tele-
phoning any more to say that he could
not do so. From Belford he wrote her
hurried little notes on scratch paper
every daywell, nearly every day. It
did not surprise him that her letters
were not much longer, and not much
more communicative than his own. He
did not dream that day after day when
he was not at home--and indeed often
when, nominally, he was. she did not
get up at all, or very little. The cold
had vanished at last, leaving her weak
and listless ; but uncontrollable nausea
had taken Its place. She grew steadily
worse, while the tiny fiat in which she
had taken such pride and which she
had kept so sweet and shinIng was
left to neglect and disorder. And still
Neal didn't guess, didn't notice--- Of
course he loved her, loved her dearly,
bntwas he blind?
March came In like a lion, roaring
lustily. Anne lay In bed, listening to
the wind howling, to the Icy tapping
of sleet against the window panes, It
was nearly dark by four In the after-
noou. She had not tried to get up at
all, since It made her faint with dizzi-
ness even to cross the room to her
bureau, and, after all, what was there
to get up for? She drew the tumbled
sheet up about her head to shut out
the sound of the storm. As she did so,
the doorbell rang.
At first she pald no attention. It
rang insistently. At last she staggered
to her feet. thrust them into her bed-
slippers, and threw her soiled kimono
"about her shoulders. When she
reached the front door. some one was
pounding on It
Leaning against the wall. she turned
the lock. Before her stood Mr. Golden-
burg, his kind, round face beaming
with Joy at the surprise he had given
her. She sprang towards him with a
cry of happiness. The next Instant
she had fainted away.

He had carried her back to bed, still
unconscious, put a hot-water bottle

over her white face. When she came
to herself, she was crying bitterly, and
clinging to him as ff she would never
let him go.

We are now entering upon a six
months' study of the gospel acording
to Matthew. In order that the lesson
may be properly presented the teacher
must master the book of Matthew as
a whole, and then present each lesson
in its relation to the central purpose
of the book.
The central theme of Matthew is
"Jesus Christ. the son of David, the
son of Abraham, the covenant King"
(Matt. I :I).
I. The Birth of Jesus, the King
(Matt. 1:18-25).
L The Saviour was to be the seed
of a woman (Gen 3:15), the son of
a virgin. This was fulfilled in the
birth of Jesus. The genealogy (Matt.
I:I-17) shows his legal right to the
throne. Only a descendant of David
could be recognized.
2. The Saviour was to be divine
(Ise. 9:6).
He must be more than the son of
David in order to be a Saviour. He
nust be both human and divin
Jesus was begotten by the Holy Ghost
and born of the Virgin Mary, thus be-
coming Immanuel, which in Its fuIlnes
means "God with us, God for us, and
God in Us."
II. The Childhood of Jm ths
King (Matt 2 :I-23).
1. Wise Men from the East.seeking
Israel's King (w. I, 2). Christ's ad-
vent was heralded by a star which
guided men of a foreign nation to seek
and to worship him, even pouring out
their gifts to him. These men were
Persian or Arabian astrologers, stu-
dents of e stars. Their attention
was attracted by the appearance of
an unusual star. Through the Influ-
ence of the Jews who remained in
Chaldea, or the direct lnfiu of
Daniel extending to this time, they
had become acquainted with the hope
of the Jews aa to the Messiah. They
may have known of Biaam's prophecy.
(Num. 24:17).
2. Herod seeking to kill Jem (v.
3-8, 16-18). The news brought by the
Wise Men struck terror to Herod's
heart. He was not alone in this for
all Jerusalem was troubled with him.
Thls news ought to have brought Joy,
but a glimpse at the social customs
In and about Jerusalem at that day
enables us to understand why Herod
and all Jerusalem were troubled. A
Saviour who would save them from
their sins was not wanted. Herod de-
manded of the priests and scribes in-
formation as to where Christ should
be born. The fact that they were able
to tell hlm quickly shows that they
had a technical knowledge of the
Scriptures, but not a heart for the
Saviour set forth therein. This oc-
curred in erusalem, the city of the
King, the piece of all places where
he should have been welcome. It fre.
quently occurs that where the greatest
privileges are, there the greatest in-
difference is shown to spiritual amt-
ter When the Wise Men returned to
their country by another way, Hod
slew aH the male children two years
and under in and around Bethlehem.
8. The King found by the Wise Men
(w. 12},
Having obtained the desired infor-
mation these men started immediately
to find Jesus. As they left the city
the star which guided them in the east
appeared again to direct them to the
place where Christ was. When they
found him they worshiped him. They
did Dot see any miracles, only a babe;
yet they worshiped him as king.
'lessed are they that have not seen,
and yet have believed" (John 29:29).
4. The King protected (w. 13-23).
(a) Flight to Egypt (w. 1S-15). To
escape Herod's wicked aim, God direct°
ed Joseph to take 'Mary and the child
Jesus and flee t6 Egypt In obedisnee
to the hehveuly vision he went and re-
mained there until Herod's death.
(b) Return to Nazareth (w. 19-23).
Upon the death of Herod, the angel
of the Lord directed Jeaelh to take
Jesus and his mother and return to
the land of Israel Though Herod was
dead It was not proper for him to re-
turn to Judea. By divine direction he
turned aside into parts of Galilee and
dwelt at Nazareth.
Nazareth ham held a fair renown
through the centuries only beeamm it
was the spot where Jesus grew In wis.
dom and stature, and In favor with
God and man.
