THE ADMINISTRATIONS OF JACKSON AND ROOSEVELT Both Fought Similar BnUtfts On tury Apart, Harold Billing Says Harold Bitting, Instructor In history at Freeport high school, was the speaker at the Thursday evening service at First Presbyterian church, addressing his audience on the subject of "A Parallel Between the Administration of Andrew Jackson and the New Deal," His remarks in part were as follows: "President Roosevelt proclaimed In his Jackson day address In 1938 that history repeats. To substantiate point he reviewed the administration of Andrew Jackson, the first president to demand social Justice for all men and to carry on a prolonged battle against financial monopoly and autocratic aggression. 'There does exist a certain parallel between the two who fought the same battle a century apart, Both have decried a supreme court, with the power to negate the will of the people; both have turned to men outside their cabinet for advice which had great weight upon their decisions, both have waged an unending war against institutions which control the economic life of the nation in the Interests of a few, at the expense of the many, "The parallel Is most evident In their fight against monopolistic economic control.

The task of President Jackson was comparatively simple compared with that of the present administration, Only one' monopoly existed to be Bank of the United States. The method was only the exercise of veto power on a bill to recharter the monopoly on financial affairs. In the words of Secretary Ickcs, the New Deal faces a 'hydra-headed monster' in the nature of the hold- Ing company. "The president seems to get a certain amount of satisfaction from rereading the criticism waged against his predecessor and sensing the familiar ring. In 1837 the Jacksonlan Democrats were charged by their opponents with destroying public confidence, abuse of the power of appointment, partisanship, defiance of the powers of congress, dependence on a 'kitchen toward the supreme court and treachery on the tariff.

Any of these charges would make ammunition for an anti-New Dealer."

CHRISTIAN CHURCH PASTOR TO BEGIN SERIES OF THREE SPECIALSERMONS SUNDAY Rev. Thomas P. Inablnett, minister of First Christian church, announces the topics for a series of three sermons which he will begin on Sunday morning, Jan. 23. The subjects are: "Self-Deception," 'Self-Discovery," and "Self-Preservation." It Is announced that in this series of sermons attention will be given to "the need for the individual to examine himself In the'light of the Christian message." A sermon on "Sin" was given last Sunday by Mr.

Inablnett as an Introduction to this series. In the sermon it was pointed out that "individuals should be conscious of the fact of sin." "Sin," It was suggested, 'is anything that destroys one's relationship with God. Sin is deceitful and misrepresents itself. Sin robs the individual of confidence in God and In himself and if allowed to continue will destroy the soul. "However," Mr.

Inabinett said, "ito is not enough merely to convince a man that he is a sinner without telling him how to overcome sin. The first step Is to make clear that there Is no such thing as sin in the abstract. This doctrine has led to the fallacy of supposing that it could be counteracted by some great emotional upheaval that would convert a sinner in a single stroke; When sins are seen to be specific and particular, they may be attacked in definite and effective ways. Tho problem that of finding ways of changing habits and of uprooting them by directing interest to other ways of acting. The individual must be shown his personal responsibility for his actions, and must be guided to the achievement of an enlightenment and self-discipline that will free him from his old self and enable him to achieve a better self." SEAT RESERVATIONS FOR "BIOGRAPHY" BEGIN TODAY: PERFORMANCES JAN, 26-28 Seat reservations for the third Wlnneshiek players' bill of this season, "Biography," by N.

"Biography," which is the first of S. Behrman's plays ever to be produced by the Wlnneshieks, makes more demands of the oast than any recent bill given by the organization.

It is a comedy of character, and was hailed by New York critics, after its first, showing, as something that had set new standards in American playwriting. Donald L. Breed is director. There are only eight characters in the play, and three of these carry the major burden of the performance. The box office, in charge of Tom Mocrs nnri Marvin Burt, will be oprn daily, except Sunday, from 4 to 8, and tomorrow from 2 to 8 in.

A. annual campaign last night, the total report was Of this amount the teams produced $1,648,60, while the initial gifts division produced $3,975. This was the highest report ever made In a campaign on the first night and mirrors the enthusiasm and spirit of the 99 workers In the campaign.

"It is slglnlficant that on this seven- tleth anniversary, the workers! should have a spirit of willingness to see that the local association should be provided with the necessary funds to go on with the work which has been producing character Jn Freeport through these many years," said Mr. Goodard, the general chairman. The report by divisions was as follows: Green division (Bihl and Ousley) 503.00 Red division (Landes and Brlggs) 406.75 Blue division (Mueller and Hyslop) 383.25 Orange division (Smith and Ascher) 265,50 $1,648.50 Advanced Gifts (B, Shafer) $3,975.00 $5,623.50 In the very spirited contest between the divisions for attendance the Orange and Green divisions tied with 100 per cent, while the Red and Blue were very close behind.

The next report will be made at the dinner at the English Lutheran church tonight at 6:04. One of the features of the campaign meetings Is the time element.

The singing last night again was directed by Paul Wurtzel and Eskil Randolph. No small part of the enthusiasm is reflected In the singing, which is not only excellent but spirited. A feature last night was the singing of "School Days" by the ladles Guest Speaker, Club CLINKER FROM FURNACE DROPS INTO KINDLING BOX, CAUSING A BLAZE The fire department responded to an alarm at 6:40 o'clock this morn- ng which required an hour of effort extinguish a blaze at the home of J. Backus, 918 West Douglas street, hat started in the basement and resulted in fire and smoke damage to amount of about $150. While Backus was removing a clinker from a furnace with a pair of tongs a piece of the clinker dropped into i box of kindling next to the coal )ln and a blaze resulted, according to the firemen who extinguished the fire.

Chief Albert Luedeke urges cau- be exercised by householders during the winter months, where 'ires inside homes are more frequent at this time of year. "It Is mportant that hot ashes, clinkers and live coals be kept away from wooden baskets, paper cartoons and joxes in dwellings," he said. 'The fire this morning at the Backus louse was not due to carelessness as the owner was the victim of an accidental happening, but we have cnowledge of recent fires which lave resulted from the use of im- 'lammable receptacles for holding ashes and live coals. Another frequent cause of fires Is substitution of copper cents instead of fuses in making electric connections where there has been a short circuit. Trying to save using ruses which retail at 2 for 5 cents has resulted In losses locally of nearly $800 In one Instance.

This Is a dangerous practice for which there no excuse in view of the very nominal cost of fuse plugs."
