Garner Will Be a
Popular Campaigner

John n. Garner, returning
to his home in Texas, met a
series of ovations from the
Texans at every station, and
the train was an hour and
a half late in reaching Dal-
las. His has been a unique
career, for he has never been
a "barn stormer.
Since his election to the
House he has never found it
necessary to el e ctioneer.
Even the campaigns did not
find him on the stump. His
speeches have been confined
TO the House, and it is be-
cause Of the character of
these speeches that he is now
Speaker.
No man ever rises to the
Speakership who is not a
man Of personality, charac-
ter and power. In no bodv
does merit count so much.
Now, after a short rest, he
will take the stump; and he
will speak on the stump as
he has spoken in the
House-straight out. He
will be a hard hitter, and
will use the language that
both the man in the corn
row and the man in the
counting room can 1nder-
stand. He will be a popular
campaigner.

No Other Way to

Mr.. Roosevelt had the

spoke of the forgotten

simulate astonishment and
disgust. "What demagogy!"

in two words it expressed
the real tragedy of America.
It was not even an at
tack on anyone. If Ogden
Mills is really the domi-
mating factor in the Hoover
campaign he will discour-
age all attempts to turn a
distressed people against
Roosevelt because of his
plea for "the forgotten
man.
Such an attack would be
as ineffective as the quack-
ing of geese at the legions
of Caesar as they went
sweeping by.
And all the more so be-
cause Roosevelt does not
propose that the forgotten

bered, and the man remem-
bered now shall be forgot

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

were expected to do, and our
personalities were no longer
vivid expression of our own
feelings, but a composite reflec-
ton of the feelings and
thoughts of the whole social
world.
In some ways that was good
thing. If we had stayed COM
pletely self-centered savages, we
would not have been a treat to
ourselves or anyone else, and
we would have been continually
at war with our environment.
But sometimes we went to the
other extreme. and became too
composite. We learned to re-
fleet others so thoroughly that
we no longer reflected our
selves; no longer had any dis
tinct, personal attitude to re-
fleet.
Why are you flooded with
that sense of Strangeness? Why
is all you do and are so mean
ingless? That's why. You have
been so busy expressing other
lives that you have become a
stranger to yourself, and your
acts have become purely me-
chanical, without meaning.
What's the use of going on
if life's like that?" you cry.
What's the Use?
There's no use going on if
life's like that.
BUT LIFE NEEDN'T BE
LIKE THAT. YOU CAN MEAN
SOMETHING, AND LIFE CAN
MEAN SOMETHING. EVEN IF
YOU DO HAVE TO SPEND
MOST OF YOUR TIME LIV-
ING FOR AND LIKE THE
OTHER FELLOW.
But first you must find what
you, yourself, really are? What
are you all about? What do
you really want to do?
You can't possibly be either
happy or helpful until you
have answered those questions.
You'll be muddled and miser-
able until you do.
So sit down and take stock.
Strip away all your acquired
habits, your synthetic attitudes,
your false ideas. Find the
REAL YOU that has been bur-
led, deeper and deeper, by the
years; and when you've found
that YOU. discover what it
wants and what it needs to
keep it alive-to keep it eager,
and excited, and enthusiastic.
Something there is in life that
will do this for you. Find it!
Books?. sport? Politics?
Fun? Handicraft? Farming?
The love of beauty? Social
service work? Which of these
things will keep your soul
alive? I know a man who
rescued his soul by making ex.
quisite trout flies!
Find yourself! Find the
thing you need. Then do it
for at least a small part of
each day-and you'll never
again feel like lost stranger
to yourself and life.
