Measure the Man

Today in Chicago the Democratic party IS noni-
mating its candidate for the presidency. Regardless
of whom the Democratic choice may be, the nation
must give him, during the next few months, the
most serious study it has given any in our time.
He will be measured not only against the high
office for which he is being proposed but against the
desperately hard task that would confront him in
Office. The man who is chosen in November will be
not much honored as intrusted with great
responsibility.
The state of the world today is little less than
desperate The next President should be one compe-
tent to understand this world condition and with
the intelligence and courage to the force of
Americas position to hasten world relief.
He must be one who appreciates not only that
any course which aids the rest of the world will
aid America, but that America can not be helped for
long at the expense Of the rest of the world.
At home the next President viii have for his field
of operations land of idle industries of citizens who
wish to work, but driven to exist on charity;
land Of hunger and fear; such an America as we
had thought never could be.
1t is an America past the aid Of old remedies an
America that has used wasted so great part of
IFS rich resources that it longer rest its hopes
On an all too generous Providence bruised and dis
1lusioned youth among the nations that has been
compelled at last to face the facts of life
The most important fact in the realm of inter-
national relations is that stated above that no ma
ton can prosper long in the world Of today at the
expense of other nations
And the most important fact of internal political
economy is that no nation be assured Of perma-
nent prosperity that permits group of its citizens
TO prosper at the expense Of the remainder.
America has been late in recognizing this truth,
because life the whole has been easy for America
But now know. We know that class legislation
has run its course. We know that, stated in it's best
terms, the theory that wealth conferred upon those
in the upper stratum does not seep down to all those
below that only the reverse process contains the
making of a sound economic structure.
And the who next takes UP the leadership
OF this distressed country must know it, He must
know that the goal nothing short of the happiness
OF the average man, woman, and child that con-
sideration for the whole people must come first.
He must not only know this but must have the
courage to act upon his knowledge. The instrument
Tor his purpose will be in his hand.
The American form Of government was not de-
Vsed for few, but for all. 1t never has, however
and never will function of itself And it will not func-
ton-certainly not after having been allowed to COL
lapse-in the hands of weak man.
So look to the man to be named today Estimate
his convictions and the courage that lies behind them
Consider whether he meet the test presented
by America and the world.

Death of DR.. John Bach McN1aster marks the
passing OF one of the most productive and entertain
ing of Americ n historians. There is a story that
this young ersswhile professor Of civil engineering at
Princeton submitted the manuscript Of the first vol
uIne of his History of the People of the United
States" to Daniel Appleton, the publisher
Appleton Pct it away and forgot H. Stumbling
over it one day, he was embarrassed lastly at his
neglect Sailing for time to think UP explanation
he took the manuscript home to read to his family.
The latter were so thrilled and diverted that APP
pleton decided to take chance the expensive and
dubious venture of publishing monumental historical
series which ultimately went into nine volumes
Whether this tale is strictly accurate or not
tainly experience justified Appleton'S Judgment. Nc
Masters work was one Of the most relevant and In
terestng historical sets published in this country
or abroad. He departed from the dreary annals OF
politics and wars and gave brilliant cross-sections
Of the life and thoughts Of people from 1889 to
1866
AL Of this he presented in juicy narrative. which
could be enjoyed by any Nterate person Of even .
moderate intelligence quotent.
