Friday, March JO, 1033 THE PRESIDENTS MB8SAOB The inauguration of Franklin D. Hooaevelt an President of the United States to our mind marks one of the really great epochs in American history. No other President in a long1 time has taken hold of the helm of the Ship of State with the people so unitedly behind him as does Mr. Roosevelt. His clear understanding of our economic needs, his high honesty and his closeness to the people constitute, we believe, a guarantee of a return to prosperous times and the bringing of order out of chaos. His inaugural address, limited as it was by its necessary brevity to generftlismth yet. in. no uncertain terms, let tho people know how our President stands upon the vital issues affecting tho people of this country. Marked by honesty of expression, a clearness of vision and a determination to get the craft on Co an oven keel, it will go down in history among the greatest of state utterances by our great] men. Franklin I>. Roosevelt merits and has the confidence of the thinking people of the United States. Ho has tackled the present banking situation vigorously and in a statesmanlike manner. Just as surely as we live the dawn is approaching and we are coming into a brighter day under his leadership. The time for the calamity howlers has passed. Those who prefer to croak and criticize may do so, but let them be assured that they : will be left by the wayside as thoi procession goes forward. In the , words of the great Claud Bowers, "He who dallies is a dastard and he i who doubts is damned. The time has come. The battle hour has struck? ?'Then to your tents, O Israel!" ^ Requests Names Sent In The program of the Bi-Centennial Celebration of the City of Camden to be held here March 19 to 25 are now ready. They are at the City Clerk's office on West Rutledge street and await the names of former citizens so they can be mailed out to them. Mrs. Corbett Boy^kin, assistant city clerk, has this work in charge and she requests The Chronicle to urge all to telephone in names of relativos or friends they wish on? sent to and she will see that they are gotten off at once. There is not much time for getting these out especially \yhere they have a far way to go. : This is a beautiful folder? tho frontispiece drawn by Samuel Russell. a winter resident of the city, depicts King Haiglar, effigy of that friend of. Camden's of long ago, that stands through all years as weather vane on the city hall. On each side are the long leaf pines, so emblematic of this section of the South and in which Cmaden' is blessed by beir.g in the heart of this belt. If you wish to send these out per-, sonally rather than turning in tho names to the city's office, call and i get some. It is Camden's wish to see again upon her streets during this homecoming week, many of the faces beloved and not forgotten though now in homes far removed from their native aoil. Services at Beth El Temple There will be services at Temple Beth El on Sunday, March 12th, at 4 o'clock. RAbbi Samuel Schillman, of Sumter, will conduct this service and he cordially invites the public to attend.

Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) Washington, March 7.?With about 26,000 in a parade which took up nearly all of the afternoon, the inaugural ceremonies passed off with great success and enthusiasm. The weather was fair, and no unfortunate occurrence marred the day. The death of Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, who had been designated as attorney-general, is a great loss to the country and u blow to the new administration, as he might well be considered as the ablest appointee to the cabinet. The funeral services were held on Monday in the capitol. building, conducted by A?chbia)ipj\_ Curley, of the Catholic church, and attended by President iioosevelt and all of the notables of I the nation as well as the foreign diplomats in Washington. The bill legalizing the manufacture and sale of beer in jurisdictions which are not dry by state legislation is one of the measures that failed of passage in the Congress that expired last Saturday, and it may be that it was just as well, with the prospect of a Hoover veto. The legalization of beverages with slight alcoholic content, prior to the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, was called for in the Democratic platform last year, I and now since repeal has been sent [ on its way for consideration by the states, the demand for beer and light wines may be pressed with more force in the new Congress. Senator Smith's cotton bill after getting through Congress with some alterations reached President .Hoover only to meet with failure to secure his approval. This caused little surprise, however, and the senator has expressed his intention to press for the re-enactment of the measure as soon as practicable. The biggest surprise concerning the nOw cabinet is the appointment of Daniel C. Roper as secretary of commerce. Und his designation as a South Carolinian. The state might well have bfcen proud had one of her actual citizens been chosen, but it is the next thing to a joke to refer to Roper as such, for he has not been in activo touch with the state for . about forty years. He has represented the District of Columbia in conventions and since the last Democratic administration he has held office under the local government as a member of the board of education. For a number of years he has gen| orally and properly been regarded as a citizen of Washington, having lost J his identity as a South Carolinian. In it ho Democratic national convention j of H>24 lie was chief lieutenant for William G. McAdoo in the contest for I the presidential nomination, and the understanding is that Roper's appointment is due to the influence of McAdoo. Statesmen as well as politicians in order to continue successful mu-?t reward and keep faith with their friends and supporters. Iuist year at the national* convention it was McAdoo's speech announcing the switching of the California delegation to Roosevelt that turned the tide toward the latter, resulting in his nomination. It has since been believed that any request made by McAdoo would be complied with. To a layman too it seems somewhat inappropriate to appoint as secretary of commerce a lawyer who hns had no extensive business or commercial connections. The election of Congressman Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois, as speaker of the House of Representatives resulted partly because of his personal popularity and in part because of his being in line for the position. The contest was clinched when Congressman Joseph W. Byms, of Tennessee, withdrew and threw his strength to Rainey, the former to become majority floor leader. In 1876 Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, was elected speaker by the I>emocratrs, and | since then until the present instance I the party has gone to the South u hen in power to select speakers. The position was held successfully, commencing in Dooombr:, 188.'{. by I G. Carlisle, <>f Kentucky, in lit icmhcr, lS'Jl, by Charles F. Crisp, Cc..rg.a; in April. It'll, by champ ' lark, < :' Missi-u'i; and ;n December, ; I'.'ll. by I. hn X Garner, of Texas. Rainey :s classed as distinctly liberal . opini .r. and tendency, as contrasted with those who arc regarded as conservative, i An excellent impression was created by President Roosevelt's inaugural , address in which he outlined in unj equivocal terms his determination to j secure remedial action for the counI try, stricken as never before by eco| nomic distress. His words were promptly followed by his course in | authorizing relief for the banks in j order to withstand unreasonable withj drawn Is. and his calling into extra session the new Congress to meet five Idays after his taking office. The new deal is at hand and the turn of . the long, long lane may be in sight. i ,Part of the R. K. C. rel.ef funds at Tyler, Texaa, were used to buy a fiddle for a music lover. I Famous Authoress Visitor in Camden Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart, rt^e novelist, and her son, Frederick, of Washington, I>. C., stopped over at The Kirkwood last Saturday for lunch. Mrs. Rinehart was on her way to Palm Beach, Fla., where she spends part of her winters. The famous authoress, who has long been much interested in political affairs in Washington, stated that she was late in getting her annual winter vacation, and for that reason did not stay for the inauguration. Mrs. Norman Mack Metz, daughter of the late Democratic state chairj man, of New York, returned to The Kirkwood after a journey to Washington where she met her mother, | Mrs. Norman E.
