T A Mess of Pottage. As to Alfred E. Smith’s attack on President Raosevelt’s monetary policy, ami declares himself for “experience” as against “experiments.” There is no indication that President Roosevelt is going to depart from a sound cur rency, but as Will Rogers said in his radio talk Sunday night, even if the coin of the realm were hamburgers, A1 would accept it in payment for of fice rent in his Empire State building. As for “experiments” the whole his tory of human progress is based thereon.
