 It was my fortune to be present whom Tilman made his maiden speech in the United States Senate. 1t was a full house. The man had been heralded. He was the representative of the state that had made radiant the Continental Congress with the galaxy of Bee, Butler, Gadsden, Izard, Laurens, Motte, Pinckney and Rutledge, the state that had sent Butler.

We go on assimilating Jew and Greek and bar barian.

We are growing not the coming 'industrialism. but the coming Man.
 Now whether all this capacity for hu- mane development of the spiritual sword of justice in the heart of our people could have been attained if William had not, on that October day, in the year 1066 inc terfused French blood with British Anglo- Saxon stock: whether. on the other hand. it could have been attained if Wolfe had not barred the way to purely French mas tery of America, no historian will quite dare dogmatically to say. But as fact indisputabe, William and Wolfe did those things and from the issue of their deeds modern America is evolved as Englan1 dates from Hastings. both, not ignobly carrying that sword, or rather being that sword.

 Williams forces were but a little army. Harold's courage and skill were perhaps quite equal to the invaders. But his personal quality of absolute command was less, and his people fell into the ancient. time-worn trap of a feigned retreat, be- cause their commander commanded with out the power to compel obedience The Normans stormed the hill where Harold fell, and the strangely conventionalized Battle Abbey still attests the sense of a Divine Hand which on that day made Of patry slxirmish a field of everlasting significance. Then came the years when French speech became the polite tongue of our people, when the seeds of an un- matched skill in the difficult business of colonization were sown in the heart Of the people, when Saxon and Norman stood side by side, as today Boer and Briton stand side by side in Africa, claspins hands, intermarrying, feeling that in some way each was necessary to tho other.

 Yes, we must take sides. of course. But in this modern America of ours it is flag rant treachery to all the past to take sides against the people. No more heartening word was ever spoken by a high, rerre- sentative servant of the people than that spoken this week to the farmers of Ala bama atsour state fair by Dr. Willis Moore, when he said that the object of government is the widest possible distri- button of welfare. I quote the sense, not the exact verbiage He showed us how Washington today is spending lavishly to save the savings of the citizens, their in vestments in friut farms among the frost bitten Rocky mountains, in merchandise stored in the cities where tornadoes CT floods may sweep, in cattle along the val leys, in ships where hurricanes may hurl

sea and sky into chaos. This is an enor- nous stride towards what may be called the mutuality of America. But because there is an America, turing men into such cooperative welfare, no state in Europe dares defer noble rivalry in attractive ness.
 What clashing of class interests we have in this land is forever modified there fore by the instant turning of the people S heart toward the common good, true to it as the needle to the pole. We laugh good humoredly over crises that would unseat a European dynasty. We pry loose from their projects the wealthiest men that ever nursed a scheme for the sacrifice Of liberty to gain, and we grin at them through a thousand funny columns in the daily press. We bring a Roosevelt to the chair of empire and pour adulation upon him across far oceans; then we squelch him and love him and follow him and for get him. We watch railroad troubles de- yelop, drag, bring strife and anxiety, and then we roll up our sleeves and tell the unknown powers who do things that in- citement to murder is worse than flnan- cial disaster, and cannot be permitted.
 Already we have begun to realize for the first time in history the essential value of man, and we will not have the man sacrificed ruthessly. Crude and vast
