Judge Gaynor's speech. dealing with
current political problems. was intently
followed. After paying his respects to
his home city and the day celebrated,
he said in part:
Eve are on the soil OF the South,
where government Is pure, where
craftsmanship Is high. where private
greed and corruption arc not and never
were uppermost. where politics and
government have never been debauched
by the use OF money and the greed Of
private Interest. Nowhere Is the great
American spirit stronger and more pa
triotic than here IN the new South. The
new problems before the country 1t is
meeting in that high spirit. and with
that high aim, which alone In govern
ment. as in religion. in science and in
all that goes to human advancement.

ly and gradually. Our aim must be high
to achieve even a littie, and we must
be content with slow progress. Slow
growth Is Gods law of the universe.
How long and patiently He brooded
over this world of ours before 1t was
lit! How slow is the growth OF this
body OF ours and Of the trees and all
natural things that are good and en-
during And the rule Is Just as true

philosophy, in morals and in govern
ment, and in all that goes to gradual

perfection"
