Editorial all for the best The climax to the crisis has come and the back bone of the depression has been broken. * For nearly three years now conditions have been going from bad to worse. Wrong remedies have been applied and failed. Just such as is happening with the banks is what is needed to bring eco nomic recovery. We have been hanging in suspense with a feeling that the climax would soon come. Now that it is upon us, a courageaus leader, such as we have in Mr, Roosevelt, will be our Moses, While this is written, his line of attack is unannounced, but Congress will be convened in extraordinary session on Thursday of this week and emergency measures will be enacted that will definitely start our nation and the world to business recovery and nor malcy. is it too raucn to say tnai the closing of the banks all over the country is the best things that has happened in three years to turn the tide to better days. We will soon be out of our suspense,, fear and chaos. The banking sys tem will in all probability be revised and strengthened. Bank deposits will likely be guaranteed and money which has been constantly with drawn through fear and mis trust, will be withdrawn from socks, cellars and postal sav ings and go back into banks to.be used to stimulate trade. Under our archaic system of banking, we had as many different regulations as there are states in the union. The system will be unified and supervised. It is a tribute to our banks in Cleveland that they re mained over and transacted business as usual until they were ordered to observe a few days of holiday. The holiday will continue until emergency legislation is enacted. Our ?ood people of Cleveland arc not given to hysteria and emotion. They have had trust faith and confidence in oui banking institutions and it is to their everlasting credii tnat they were not swept ofi their feet by the fear-con sciousness that prevailed ir other states and precipitated the crisis. ^e call now upon our peo courage. Let’s keep cool anc & is worth the little ™ce and inconvenience it «kes for a few days to bring Bs. through safely.

To the gala Inaugural ceremonies, he gave himself with his usual smil ing facility. Meanwhile he was mak ing ready for the stupendous trials impending. Cabinet Confirmed. Right away, he won quick con firmation for his cabinet from a specially convened midafternoon session of the senate, and called the members together to be sworn in after he had stood from 2:30 to 6:06 p. tn. reviewing the resplendent in augural parade. .

A tanking holiday for the entire nation was ordered last night by the Federal government and State government* in order to protect de positors until general condition are adjusted. As a result of the order Shelby and Cleveland county banks did not open today for business. The holiday is continued through Thursday by the order. It was explained heer today, as a matter of assurance to local peo ple. that the banks :n Shelby were not closed because of imy local con ditions but entirely because of the nation-wide holiday. The Shelby banks, the First National and Un ion Trust, did business all through Saturday under normal conditions and there was no run or condition which would have necessitated any move for not opening today had it not been for the government order. Closed banks in New York and oth er important business centers made money clearage difficult and the bank holiday was called so that banks in other sections of the na tion might protect their depositors until conditions at these points were cleared up so that general business might resume without delays. Open Longer Here. It has been the custom of the lo cal banks to remain open until 4 o’clock on Saturday to, accommo date customers and cn last Satur day when most of the banks of the country were either closed or Jiad re strictions on withdrawals, the local institutions remained open as usual. It is thought they remained open longer than any other banking in stitutions in the United States. There was no run here and no ne cesity to limit withdrawals. It is hoped that during the four day period matters will be so ad justed that banks which are in good condition and have experienc ed no indication of a lack of confi dence may reopen and make it pos sible for business to be carried on normally.
