shares Of Sinclair Oil stock The stock sold months be-

But those that hoped for Roosevelt dynasty settle
troubles with Roosevelt after another through tho
centuries to guide and rule will probably be disappointed
Colonel Rooseves plan to follow in his fathers footsteps
first Governor Of New York and then President will be
ut least postponed.
He viii probably explain to the satisfaction of the
public why Colonel Roosevelt Secretary Of the Navy ordered
marines to clear squaers off the Teapot Dome AFTER Mr.
Sinclair had got that land from the navy He says he took
orders from Secretary Fall But the Secretary Of the Interior
does not give orders to the navy the army The PRES1
DENT does that
It is not easy either to explain why If the squattes were
Questionable Colonel Roosevelt did not clear them off
when the land belonged to the navy Rightly or wrongly
the fact that he cleared off the squatter for Mr. Sinclair
the employer Of his younger brother will not sit well the
public stomach At least however Colonel Roosevelt is truth

Editor The Washington Times:
II USED to spend hours on a
little balcony close to the

square, from which 1 could watch
the symbolic Washington Monu-
ment pointing in it's noble purity
upward to the sky. 1t seemed to
embody the principles laid down

bears which the White House so
tremendously reflects: simplicity
and justice. On rainy days, when,
like a mountain, only its top
emerged from the mist, the monu-
ment seemed nearer the sky and
infinitely far removed from the
earth. At daybreak, when the
city was still asleep, I would slip
down my flights of stairs and
wait for the birds and the squir-
rels in the square. With the first
ray of sunlight that came over
the housetops they would scurry
for their breakfast, and on my
solitary bench gave me much to
think Of,
There was among them an ag-
gressive, insolent squirrel, who

the ghost of a chance for break

watched his every move. and he
watched mine. and at the same
time the movements Of all the
other squirrels. They sat at a
o. l~ko HI
but intimidated. AS soon as I
raised my hand and squirrel
made the slightest move In my
direction, like "a streak Of light
ming the sharp teeth Of the little
bully were imbedded in its fur,
calling forth an agonized squeal.
He seemed to have a specially in
tense hatred toward a little ena-
ciated squirrel that evidently
never succeeded in the struggle
for existence.
It was most discouraging. Here
I was, over five feet tall, in pos
session of the peanuts, and yet l
could not keep the fat squirrel
from getting most Of them. He
had nothing to boast Of, except
his tail, which he used like an
angry man with his fist, to en-
phasize his vicious scolding. The
thin squirrel could not get any
thing and looked as il on the verge
of starvation. I followed the poor
little thin creature all over the
square and across the street and
into the very grounds Of the White
House. But could not make him
believe in my good intention. His
whole life had scared his mind
with the one grim fact that for
the weak and the timid there is
little chance in this world of ours,
and for the sick and the manned
practically none. AS the summer
advanced I came to the conclusion
that my squirrel problem and the
problem that the world has been
facing since creation were one and
the same.
The test of civilization to my
mind is the degree of protection
which it gives to those who may
fall by the wayside. 1t makes
little difference in what manner or
for what reason they fall; the inn

perative duty Is to give them a
maximum and not a minimum of
help and care. / consider 1t a
good sign that most of the wealth
Is concentrated in the hands Of a
very few. 1t proves that humanity
in general attaches little impor-
lance to the accumulation OF
wealth as such. The fact is that
most Of us have to guard against
our hearts running away, though
this refers more often to our own
personal joys and sorrows and not
our neighbor's and fellow-being's S!
Surely 1t Is a proof of the vigor
and integrity of the human race
that the heart rules more often
than the head.
Since the greatest number are
too poor to provide for the weak,
and the smallest number like
my greedy squirrel insist on hav-
ing all the peanuts to themselves,
regardless Of the inevitable physi-
cal and moral indigestion that
awaits them, the problem each
community has to face, lie this:
how to make ample and perma-
nent provision for its hospitals
and other public welfare organiza-
tions. Drives and campaigns are
an admission of our weakness
and our failure to perform what
is an imperative duty. They are

 Nearly every block in many sections of New York has place where food is sold.
