What is the conflict that Jerry has with himself in “President Cleveland, Where Are You?”

What do you think Jerry used the $5 he got from Rollie for in “President Cleveland, Where Are You?”
Jerry used the five dollars to buy a suit, new shoes, and a corsage for his older brother to go to the dance will his girl friend.

I'd avoided looking at his new black shoes."
