Special to n>? Pranklla Times Washington, D. C., March 20.? Not line* Woodrow Wilson marched Into Washington at the head of the Demoemtic cohort* Just twenty years ago haa the Capital City experienced the sen sation of being atood on Its head, so to speak. Just as Mr. Wilson came into the oSat o( President with the determination to change everything, so President Roose velt's administration has adopted the policy that whatever needs to be done shall be done differently. A Political Revolution Nofhing In this slow-moving city ever moved as rapidly as things are' moving here now. Within less than a fortnight a real political revolution has tak en place. In the order of their relative importance, these are the out standing occurrences under the new government: First: President Roosevelt has been given powers such as no President j of the United States ever had, '-except In war^. time. lua seuemi approval expressed by people in all parts of the coun try, of the delegation to the ex ecutive of power formerly exer cised only by Congress, suggests ?hat there was something more than ldl? talk behind the Idea that a dictator was needed. Old time political observers here say that It reflects a general distrust of Congress. It perhaps is not so much that, as it is impatience with the slowness of Congress. Second: Under the direction of the new President the reorgani zation of the entire banking sys tem of the nation has been start ed along drastic, deep-reaching jlines which promise to weed out the Incompetents and crooks in the banking business, place the Federal Government in control of all banks and give depositors far greater assurance of the safety of their bank deposits than they have ever had. How far this pro gram of banking reform will go remains to be seen, but those with long memories recall that it was President Wilson's pur pose and that <%>f his advisers to extend (he powers of the Federal Reserve System so that eventually every banking institution in the nation would be under full con trol. The war interrupted that program, but it has come to life again now. Third: A start has been made toward cutting a thousand mil lion dollars a year off the Gov ernment's expenses of which nearly half will come out of funds now being spent for veterans' re lief. President Roosevelt's firm stand against the spending of public money on veterans whose disabilities are not due to their war service overrode the objec tions of members of both houses of Congress, who gave him the authority he sought to effect that economy. Fourth: The legalization of beer, as a means of raising rev enue, has taken such shape that it seems probable that anyone with a thirst for the malt bever age can buy it freely within a few weeks. Those are the major high lights of the work of the new administration thus far. Direct to the People President Roosevelt came into office " believing that the people wanted action, and he has been giving them action. Taking an other leaf out of Wood row Wil son's book, he has gone over the heads of the politicians and di rect to the people, In a series of public proclamations and radio addresses, which seems to have I struck a responsive chord. Indeed, even some of the ap plause for the new President's courageous and vigorous attitude has come from Republican sources. The principal opposi tion to Mr. Roosevelt's policies has come, In fact, from within his own party. It took Republican votea to pass hia economy through the House of- Representatives. The outlook aa this Is written is that any measures for direct farm relief and in aid of the un employed will not be acted upon until Congreaa convenea again in April. The President and his ad visers are working hard and carefully on the form of legisla tion they want In both those mat ters. The belief that some plan for taking so-called marginal lands out of cultivation will be adopted, is r-oWItag. Just how far this will follow the domestic allotment plan which was considered by the last Congress remains to be' seen. Mr. Roosevelt's program for unemployment relief la still |n the shaping. It is understood that It will involve something like military enlistment of the unemployed, or of several hun dred thousand of them, to be pat to work on public lmprovementa, such aa waterpower dams, flood protection works and the like. Washington Like* Roosevelt There la no question that WaahlngtoA likes the new Presi dent. He Baa brought Into pub lic affairs a new atmosphere, with which Washington Is not familiar, but it la an atmosphere of activity abd of friendliness. The Impression which Preaident Roosevelt made upon the news paper men at hla first conference with them was a good one. Not since the first tew weeks of the Hardlns administration has any President permitted reporters to fire 'questions at him at will. Mr. Roosevelt has resumed this prac tice, greatly to the delight of the Washington correspondents. Social Washington has taken the new White House family to ita arms. Of course, the Roose velts are not strangers here, but there la a lot of difference In the social status of an Assistant Sec retary of the Navy and a Presi dent of the United States. They move In entirely different circlos. There have been Presidents and their families who were merely tolerated In so-called "Society" because of their official standing, hut the Franklin Roosevelts have a social status of the highest, re gardless of official connection. AMce Roosevelt Longworth gave the cue to the highest circles of Washington society by resuming her intimacy with her cousins in the White House, while Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, another social leader of high position, has also placed her cachet of approval upon them. It is not lik?ly, therefore, that the slanders and scandalous gossip which some of their predecessors In the White House have suffered will be aimed at the Franklin Roosevelta. Simplifies Agri cultural Credits Raleigh, March 22. ? At the of fice of the Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation of Raleigh, North Carolina, this morning Mr. John P. Stedman, Executive Vice President and Manager, announc ed a complete change of procedure in the matter of the handling of loans by this Corporation. Mr. Stedman said that instructions to persons designated to make out applications and attorneys whose certificates of title were accep table to this Corporation were already in the mail. "The new plan"V Mr. Stedman said, "simplifies the matter and method of - making applications for loans, and will tend to expe dite the handling of applications, so that when the applications are approved the money will be made available to farmers much more quickly than under previous plans. The present plan provides that only the application and an additional - sheet, completely de scrtblng the property to be mort gaged, is to be made out and signed by the person seeking the loan. This paper is then submit ted to the County Committee, who will pass on the credits in volved, then the application in duplicate will be forwarded to the Corporation in Raleigh, North Carolina. The application will then be iubmitted to the Lgan Commit tee, and upon approval by the Loan Committee of the security offered, a copy of the application will be forwarded to the borrow er, 'who will be instructed to pre sent the application and the sheet describing the property to be mortgaged to the attorney whose certificate is acceptable to this Corporation in the county where the applicant lives. "As soon as the attorney can determine that the property to be embraced in the mortgage is un encumbered and the title Is in the person offering the same as security, he will prepare the note and mortgage and have the same executed, acknowledged, probat ed, and placed on record. He will then notify the Corporation in Raleigh which will immediately order the loan to be disbursed". Mr. Stedman further stated that there was a great demand for agricultural credit in the area served by the Regional Agricul tural Credit Corporation of Ral eigh,' North Carolina, and that the entire organisation of the Corporation was working night and day to meet the demands be ing made upon the Corporation for loans to the farmers of the two states. < - : ' THANKS _____ .

(mentioning this ad) to THR ATLANTIC MONTHLY, ? Arlington St., Boston ? l-14-4t Explains Position Representative W.' L. Lumpkin In tt?e following letter to The Franklin Times, explains bla posi tion on the bill concerning the County,. Commissioners : Mr. A. F. Johnson, Editor Franklin Time* Loulsburg, N. C. My dear Mr. Johnson: I read with a great deal of In terest your editorial laat week and will thank you to publish a statement of my position on the question of the change of the Board of County Commissioners In the county about which a bill Is now pending in the House. Two years ago without any special re quest from the people at large I passed the bill providing for alternate terms for the Board of Commissioners of Franklin Coun ty. Believing lhat the taxpayers business In the county which amounted to approximately 1276,000. annually should at all times have some experienced or old member on the Board, which system Is now in use in many of the mtost progressive counties In the state. Considerable opposition has arisen to this law and I propose by the present bill now before the House to amend the law so as to place thi Commissioners back on a two year term as formerly used in Franklin. Of course, the two commissioners that were elected by the people for fonr years at the last election, in my opinion, should be allowed to serve the terms for which they were elected, and It Is not a democratic policy to legislate officers out of office who have been duly elected by popular vote, and my bill takes care of this situation. v I would also thank you to ex press to my many constituents my thanks and appreciation for the hundreds of letters that I have received in the last several weeks relative to our school sit uation. I realize the gravit? of the economic condition, the pov-j arty sad distress of oar cltlaen shlp and also tbs serious problem that is confronting the pnblk school system You ma y assure them that I shall attempt to se cure the same type of school foi the children of onr county as riv en to the children of other coun ties. Thanking you for mentioning those tvo matters in this week's issue of jroar paper, I am, with best personal regards and ere^y good wish. Sincerely yours, W. L.

The magician exhibit* a flower pot with hinged tides on a table in the center of the stage. He opeoi out the aide* to show that thii container is empty. Closing it up, he places a' screen between it and the audience. After a short period of magic incantations he removes the screen. The astounded audience sees a beautiful girl, covered to the shoulders in lovely flowers, rising from the "empty" container. Where did she come from t EXPLANATION: The girl was hiding behind the drape of the table. There is a trap door in the bottom of the flower pot, with a hole large enough to allow her to crawl through. The flowers, called "magicians' feather flowers," are a regular part of a magician's outfit The flower girl wears a rubber tunic and a bathing cap to keep the flowers compressed into small space. She slides the tunic down and the flowers expand when she emerges. OfiWtl. lMt 1 1 BwaaMi Tlllin OMgiiif CAMCLS L-? It's tujv to jbe J?oozez> . ..it's more tujv to Jfivow ? A trick frequently worked in cigarette advertising i* the illusion that mildness in a cigarette comes from mysterious processes of manufacture. / IXPLANATION: All popular ciga rettes today are made in modern sani tary factories with up-to-date machin ery. All are heat treated ? some more intensively than others, because raw, inferior tobacco* require more in ten sive treatment than choice, ripe to baccos. The real difference comes in the to baccos that are used. The better the tobacco, the milder it is. 1 It is a fact, well known by leaf tobacco exports, that Camels are made from finer, MOII EXPENSIVE tobaccos than any other popular brand. That is why Camels are so mild. That is why Camels have given more pleas ure to more people than any other cig arette ever made. It's the secret of Camels' rich "boujp quet". . . their cool flavor . . . their noa irritating mildness.
