Roosevelt’s New Book Describes His Peaceful Revolution In U. S. NEW YORK, March 39.—In the foreword of his forthcoming new book, “On Our Way,” President Roosevelt says If his administration “is a revolution, it is a peaceful one, achieved without violence, without the overthrow of the purposes of es tablished law and without the de nial of just treatment to any indi vidual or class.” The proofs of the fore ward, giv en out tonight by the publishers, the John Day company, read: "Some people have called our new policy fascism’. It is not fascism because its inspiration springs from the mass of the people themselves rather than from a class or a group or a marching army. Moreover, it is being achieved without a change in fundamental republican method. We have kept the faith with, and in, our traditional political institutions. “Some people have called it 'communism'; it is not that either. It is not a driving regimentation founded upon the plans ot a per petuating directorate which subor dinates the making of laws and the processes of the courts to the or ders of the executive. Neither does it manifest Itself in the total elim ination of any class or in the aboli tion of private property. “If it is a revolution, it is a peace ful one, achieved without violence, without the overthrow of the pur poses of established law and with out the denial of just treatment to any individual or class.’’ Senators Approve Bankhead Bill With Fingers Crossed Two Deputies Incarcerated Judge John M.

Magazines Gayly Flout Statute Prohibiting Liquor Advertising If you cant buy good liquor, you can read about it at any Shelby newsstand. A recent riffling through the publications offered for sale here reveals that newspa pers and magazines alike, have for more than a month, been flouting the federal law which prohibits liquor ads in dry states. For a few weeks after repeal, ccr tain magazines appeared In North Carolina with these advertisements omitted—with blank pages where they had been jerked out. Then the humorous magazines began to print wise-cracks in these otherwise gaping spaces. And then they blandly printed the ads themselves | generally with *h«- small-type -id monition that, they were not in tended to ofter liquor for sale in states where It was forbidden. Now some of them neglect even this precaution. Many of the national magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post, do not and never have, car ried liquor ads, but even those which do not derive any revenue from promoting sales are not averse to printing recipes for cocktails and advice on the proper glassware ne cessary for the revived art of so cial drinking.
