gave his life to make government the
servant of human values in a new and
difficult age.
When the day comes, as come it
will, when social organization Will CEN
ter about the values of the higher life,
when wealth will mean common veal,
when property will be less than hui
manity, then men will remember that
Robert La Toilette trod that path be-
fore them.
Trusted the Humble.
I'VE shall remember him as one
who, in cynical age, loved and kept
his faith in humble men and women.
He was ready always to trust the peo-
pie when they were given the facts.
1t was no accident that he made in
vestigation primary and the discovery
of facts fundamental and that on his
lips statistics became eloquence. But
it was his human heart that kept him
close to the life problems of his fell
lows. He knew the bravery of the
toll of the nameless ones and his heart
yearned to throw open the doors to
joyous life for them. Among those
who bow in SincereSt devotion today
are these for whom he fought in other
years, the Seamen, the toilers, men of
hard hands and lined faces, marked by
the noblest tribute of all.
I'VE shall remember him as a leader
of sublime courage. Society has al
ways been cruel to it's prophets. The
consistent enemy of special privilege
must ever be willing to suffer. More
than once the iron was driven into
his soul. But when the war madness
befogged the minds of men and the
fires of persecution We're lit, then he
lived the episode most brilliant of all
the epic of his life and took his place
among the greatest of Americas S sons.
Was Vindicated.
"Forsaken in the time of trial by even
those for whom his life was spent. al
most alone, he held true to his vision.
With calm courage, mistaken polSe
and resolute will he kept his soul and.
best of all, kept his faith in us. He
lived to see the war clouds pass and
to receive the vindication he knew
must come. He is gone, but the
memory of that magnificent courage
will live as a challenge to youth
through all the world.
I'VE shall remember him. He has
built himself into the life of America
and into the structure of the world.
But we must give him also an earthly
immortality. in our lives. The future
democracy of which he dreamed is
still to win. To be true to the vision
as he was true, until every individual
shall have a full and free opportunity
for a satisfying life, this will be to
remember him truly. And here, in
his presence still, we may dedicate
ourselves to that task
