Department of Agriculture bureau of home economics Member of Audit Bureau of Circulation Mr. Roosevelt’s Speech Commentators on President Roosevelt’s message to con- gress seem generally to be motivated by heat. ay 5 ‘ This is perfectly natural, since the address itself was a rather torrid affair and like always begets like. The politicians who comment that it was “great” and “wonderful” would, of course, have made the same kind of remarks no matter what the president said. The same thing is true of those who labeled it as “cheap” and “terrible.” As a message on the state of the nation it certainly de- parted from the traditional. There was no factual review of existing conditions such as documents of this nature usually contain. STILL MORE SIGNIFICANT, HOWEVER, IS THE FACT THAT, UNLESS THE SITUATION CHANGES, THERE WILL BE NO ATTEMPT AT DOMINATION OF CONGRESS BY THE WHITE HOUSE AT THIS SESSION; NO MORE ‘MUST’ BILLS TO BE RUSHED THROUGH AND NO MORE LEGIS- LATIVE EXPERIMENTATION.

Coughlin found in the last session of congress, apparently to his sur- prise—and certainly to the amaze- ment of his lobbyists here—that his radio speeches had not given him control of congress for his program. But he is going to fix that now, he The radio priest has sent books of instructions and application blanks to his organizers. The limit to any: one club is 250 members and the aim, you see, is for two or three hundred Coughlin clubs in every congres- sional district. Heads of the clubs will form a district council and each dation was his remark that the congress could find ways to the measures enacted. It may be that the president is content with the legislative the government to the people” laid in the first 34 months of his administration. There is reason to believe, also, that the president delib- erately refrained from advising congress as to its course be- cause of the possible necessity for special messages bearing on matters now in the supreme court. If the AAA or the Guffey bill or both are held invalid, the Despite its tenor, which some allege to have been one of hatred, the speech was reassuring to business if business will only examine the document closely.

Rip Van Winkle Awakens the troubles of America’s railroads are of their own making; that the managements of our great transportation lines have been too smug, too self-satisfied, too unimaginative to maintain the place they should hold in the transportation picture. In this The Tribune has not been alone. For a number of years the criticism has been a common one. It was repeatedly suggested that, instead of continually howling for higher rates or the application of restrictive measures against competing forms of transportation, the railroads should “come alive” and meet the situation by rendering better service. A year ago the western railroads took the initiative in doing just that, sweeping the cobwebs out of their collective for example, they introduced a number of high-speed trains at POPULAR AND PROFITABLE. Report by the Milwaukee road on the operation of its Hiawatha between Chicago and the Twin Cities shows that it took in $538,582.14 and the cost of operation, including interest and depreciation on equipment, was $173,190.56, leaving a net _ profit of $365,391.58. ») .

Prof, Hack particularly attacks the theory that the frequent use of such phrases as “rosy-fingered dawn” and “long-tried, royal Odysseus” are proof that the poems are the work of sev- eral inferior poets who were too un- skilled to choose‘new words. He takes the stand that this repetition was de- liberately designed by Homer “to make clear to popular, open-air au- diences just who was going to speak and act next.” The speaker also questions the theory of a plural au- thorship by saying “It is not possible to add up the products of ten inferior poets and produce genius.” Whether or not the Iliad and Odys- sey are in the main the work of one supreme prehistoric Greek poet is a question which, in the nature of things, can never, be settled, but for- tunately it is not vital.
