voice. and to me he did all Of his talk

and he gave me his ideas.
He was a man to whom what is cali

delight in the pleasure of the children
from his gifts. The children knew him
as their friend, and | have long held the
opinion that the man who does not love
children is morally lacking in some

ways called him. has been Of great
moral benefit to me. His death has
taken from me man that in the eight
month associated with him, | became
more attached to and loved more than
any other man | have ever known.
Socialism was to him religion.
There are so many men in the world
who have opinions, but "Dickie" had
convictions. And Socialism was the
first and foremost. He had the firm
