Linsee reflects on early 20th century America in a nostalgic column from Anta Monica California. He contrasts past confidence with modern anxieties, poking at pretensions of progress and the rise of synthetic foods and the trailer era while recalling Teddy Roosevelt and W. J. Bryan.
A column notes that in a president's second term Congress grows more independent. It cites the Supreme Court packing plan as a symptom, relief funds friction with Hopkins, the farm bill under scrutiny, and Senate doubts on reorganizing government, signaling Congress’ pushback against White House policy.
The column argues Roosevelt does not seek new money for relief, while the House shies from a full position and hints at allocating half a billion for permanent public works under Ickes. It links Roosevelt to pork barrel politics, notes Treasury borrowing, and discusses the growing U.S. gold stock and international implications.
America's newest national park will open to visitors next summer on Isle Royale in Lake Superior. The island spans about fifty miles by five to ten and hosts primeval forests, a large moose herd near 1,000, unique copper mining pits, and Isle Royale copper buried in distant sites.
