Borglum, Volunteer Editor,
Faces Unappreciative Nation

News, N'that the words were none OF
Mr.. Borglum's business, unless he should
come across one with q letter that
could not be carved conveniently In
granite. In explaining his changes,
however, the sculptor gave no technical
reasons for his carving. His explana-
ton was q criticism Of Mr.. Coolidges
rhetorical and historical style. 50 the
history on the mountain Is not to be the
literary product Of o past President.
It viii be largely Mr.. Borglum's words.
as well as his carving-that Is, II he
Is permitted to get away with his bold
affront. That indeed seems unlikely:
IT. Is scarcely conceivable. Surely some
body will put him In his place"
'The sculptor Is an acute sort OF
philosopher, q deep thinker, as well a.
an artist" and was born, as 1t were.
with great cosmic ideas in his head"
as appraised by the Boston Transcript.
That paper adds that "he Is in o way Q
political reformer with Q strong tend
'his mind runs to colossalisrn." The
Transcript adds: "A presumptuous act,
one may say offhand, but the amend
ments and emendations for the inscrip-
ton which he has now made public at
least reveal q philosophic basis. Mr..
Co0lidge'S inscription u patr1otlc In
every line. We do not think that Mr..
Borslum is any the less patriotic. but
he Is probably more universal. His
mind contemplates time when perhaps
Mount Rushmore may stand as . sort
Of historical beacon for the ages, rather
than one for the United States alone"
Nevertheless, the Transcript is con.
vinced that "the Coolidge inscription Is
the product Of a representative Amert-
can mind"
'It was not what Mr.. Coolidge might
write" advises the louisville Times,
'but primarily Mr.. Coolidge's name-a
name Of immense publicity value-that
was wanted in connection with the
history-carved-in-granite project"
"Mr. Borglum belongs" concludes the
st. Louis Dispatch, "to the DASH
dash school of rhetoric, for he has sub
stituted that epistolary short-cut for
words and commas throughout the two
Coolidge paragraphs he has edited. The
ex-President at least will have the Eng
lish teachers on his side. Mr.. Coolidge
thus far has refused to comment on
the blue penciling, but we just know he
feels pretty bad about 1t. In recent
magazine article he quoted with obvious
pride the letter of an admirer who said
he had appropriately placed the Auto
biography on bookshelf alongside the
family Bible. Has any one ever placed
any Of Mr.. Borglums sculptures beside
the craven tablets from Mount Sinai?"

and inhuman speed-up a storm of
working class struggle is brewing
in the United States. The gigantic
March 6 unemployment demonstra-

of the coming upheavals.
The employers, keenly aware of
the danger to them, are using extra

utilize their fascist and social-fas-
