me, through no 1du4G VI lily
own?
I looked with envious eyes
on the lives of the luckier
people. Women who had beauti-
full homes, devoted husbands,
healthy children-how I envied
them! All those fortunate hu"
man beings who could go on
the great excursions, discover
the beauty and magic OF
life, develop their souls-why
couldn't I have their luck?
I didn't have their luck. I
was trapped. That very love
which was the greatest thing in
my life bound me to hopeless
pain and poverty. I couldn't
get away. I could never live
the life I had wanted to live.
I could never be the person I
had wanted to be. I was
trapped. I was cheated.
Through bitter days, through
bitter years, I said that over
and over to myself. But in
spite of my bitterness and my
rebellion, couldn't really be-
lieve it. Something deep in my
soul, something deep in life de-
MED it. Something told me
that life is what we make 1t.
And so, slowly and painfully,
with endless blundering, I came
to my great discovery.
I CAME TO SEE THAT THE
SET-UP OF LIFE DOESN'T
GREATLY MATTER. NO MAT
TER HOW OUR FATES ARE
CAST, THERE ARE ALWAYS
THE MAKINGS OF POWER
AND WISDOM AND BEAUTY
IN EVERY LIFE.
Life is always crude stuff.
Whether that stuff be splendid,
as in the lives of the rich and
the careless, or whether that
stuff be shoddy, as in the lives
of the~poor and burdened, does
not greatly matter. A man
must make his own life, build
his own power, out of the stuff
that is given him.
Building Life
And a great life can be built
out of pain and poverty, death
and disaster, as surely as it can
be built out of ease and bliss.
Perhaps more surely, for misery
is a more cruel trap than COM
fort, and a man will struggle
harder to get away.
NO MATTER WHAT SORT
OF A DEAL FATE HAS HAND
ED YOU, THERE ARE AL
WAYS THE MAKINGS.
There are always the max
ings of love in the shabbiest
street, in the saddest heart, as
we'll as on the most glamorous
avenues.
There are always the max
ingS of power. For a man may
learn about men and learn how
to control them, regardless of
his position or environment.
There are always the makings
of wisdom. Truth walks as
surely through the tenement
as through the palace.
There are always the max.
ings of faith. For God is as
near to the gutter as he is to
the gilded domes.
There are always the max.
ings. If you want life, you
CAN find it, wherever you are.
whatever you are. If you want
life, you MUST find it. Life
never comes ready-made to any
man, whatever his circum-
stance

The Trickery in
The Mills Speeches

Mills complains that Mr..
Roosevelt has implied some
dissatisfaction with the op-
erations of the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation.
Mr.. Mills "ain't seen moth
ing" if he has not read
what Al Smith says about
the organization Of the
same corporation. Or heard
what some of his own peo-
pie have been saying in
Wall Street about certain
$80,O00,00OO loan made to
a political favorite of the
Administration.
The trickery in the Mills
speeches lies in his giving
to Hoover the credit for
measures he did not origi-
nate; for measures he op-
posed, and finally accepted
under the compulsion Of
public opinion. This and
his failure to tell the whole
story. The whole story is
a sad one of tragic indie
cisiOn and procrastination
for which the people paid
the penalty.
Thus it was a tragic
blunder to underestimate the
nature Of the crash and to
drift along for two years
doing nothing but holding
conferences for the sake of
the moving pictures.
The R. F. C. has saved
banks from collapse since it
was organized; but tens of
thousands of banks had
failed before that might have
been saved but for the
freight train arrival Of the
idea at the White House.

Your Health

Your Health
You eat more than you
should and not the right kind
of food.
You eat oftener than you
should for health's sake.
Irrespective of the distress
you experience and the harm
which your physician says you
are doing to your system by
overlooking your stomach, you
continue the practice.
You are a slave to your taste
and how foolish it is.
Too stout, perhaps. and your
doctor has indicated things you
should not eat if you would
reduce your weight, but do you
follow his advice?
Abstain" is not in your list
of words, evidently.
You are weak when it comes
to cutting out the things that
are undermining your health.
Why? Because you love food
good food-and you have the
money to procure it.
Perhaps you try to cut out
sweets or meats, for a day or
two. ........
But your good resolutions are
short-lived. ....'
You haven't the moral stam-
ina to face the situation and

You ought to be ashamed if
you have injurious habits and

What Roosevelt
Promises

Promises
The purport of the Mills
speeches is that Mr.. Roose-
velt, in advocating policies
of government, does not
submit a legislative bill
worked out in ; detail; know
ing, as he does the absurdity
Of that. 1t is the same criti-
cism that was leveled at
Woodrow Wilson in 1912.
Mr.. Mills merely parrots his
fellow-partisans of 20 years
ago. In that campaign
Wilson set forth clearly
enough his views on bank
ing and currency, and fore
shadowed some such action
as came later in the Gre
alton of the Federal Reserve
System.
Everyone who heard Will
son then knew, in the event
Of his election, there would
be some such legislation
based on fundamental prin-
ciples that Wilson discussed
but he had no actual bill
to offer. So it is with
Roosevelt today-the people
want to know the spirit and
the principles of the man;
if these satisfy, they will
expect him to incorporate
them into laws. That is what
he promises, as Wilson
promised; and that is what
he will do, as Wilson did.

then that no longer exist and
things now made necessary
by economic changes of
which neither jefferson nor
jackson could have dreamed.
But underlying the whole
of Jefferson's philosophy
and jackson action was
one elemental thought-that
governments exist for the
equal benefit of all the pco-
pie, and for the protection
of the public against the
exploitation of powerful
monopolies.
Both would have been
shocked at Ogden Mills
plan incorporated in his pro-
hibition plank, for the Fed
eral Government to pass
upon the local laws of States
relating to the management
of local affairs.
When we feel in need Of
learning something about
jefferson we will not go to
a man like Mills, who hates
both Jefferson and Jackson
as the devil hates holy water.

colorful, thrilling and proud.
And, instead, there was a bit
terness and a pain in it, a
dullness and a despair, beyond
any ones power to lift. No
matter what I did, no matter
how hard a fight I put up,
these conditions were bound to
persist.
Lucky People
And, of course, I was rebel
lious. Terribly. I wanted ad-
venture. I wanted power. I
wanted happiness, though even
then I could perceive that hap.
piness wasn't absolutely essen
tial to great life. And why
should these things be denied
The Washington times., 1932-10-08

THE supporters of Mr..
Il Roosevelt could scarcely
ask anything better than
that all the people should
read the speeches Of Ogden
Mills along with those OF
the nominee. The labored
efforts of the head of the
Treasury, with their sins Of
omission and commission,
hardly do justice to his rep
utation for cunning. Com
planning that the issues are
not being debated, he
CLOSES over, or utterly ig-
nores, those that are most
vital in the communities
where he talks. Thus in
his speech at st. Louis,
which is vitally interested
in the immediate repeal of
the Volstead act, which
would put vast numbers of
the city's idle men to work
and give a general impetus
to the retail business, Mills,
who complains Of the lack
of debate, did not mention
prohibition.
No one should be in bet
ter position to discuss the
plank written into the Re-
publican platform on the
dictation of Mr.. Mills, which
DR.. Butler calls dishonest,
with an echo from Senator
Borah. We personally re-
call Mr.. Mills supreme ex-
ertiOns there, gallantly
marching at the head Of
the column of three hun
dred of Hoover's job hold
ers in the convention; and
his success in forcing on the
convention a plank which
does not mention the Vol
stead act, carefully refrains
from taking a position on
the Eighteenth Amendment
and proposes in the event
of a change the Federal
Government shall exercise
more authority over States
than now, under the pres
ent law.
1t is a pity that Mr.. Mills
did not remember the sig
nificance of st. Louis, and,
satisfying his ardor for ode
bate" " attack the position
taken by Mr.. Roosevelt.

At the opening wheat was g cent

July corn maintains a strong po-

Oats remains fairly steady at the

the absence of any individual fea-
