.Sonality. These lesser forms of
life were created to function en-
maSse. They serve their pur-
pose, whatever that may be,
quite as we'll without the dis
tinguishing marks of individual
ity.
BUT UNLESS A HUMAN
BEING HAS INDIVIDUALITY,
UNLESS HE HAS DISTINC-
TIVE THOUGHTS AND DE-
SIRES AND MANNERISMS
WHICH SET HIM APART
FROM ALL OTHER HUMAN
BEINGS. HE ISN'T, IN ANY
REAL SENSE. A MAN. HE IS
SIMPLY ANOTHER MAMMAL.
For the important thing about
each human life, the only
sacred thing, is that it is the
means of developing the soul
and mind.
Monkeys and Men
The ordinary physical func-
tions of our life have no particu-
lar significance. We share
them with all other animals.
Eating and sleeping, working
and playing, hating and lov-
ing-these functions and occu-
pations are performed by mon
keys as we'll as by men.
But there is that in life
which we do not share with the
other animals, and that is THE
POWER TO MAKE INDIVID-
UAL DECISIONS. THE POWER
TO DREAM AND TO THINK
AND TO PLAN ACCORDING
TO A UNIQUE, PERSONAL
PATTERN.
Self-expreSsion! That is the
important and the sacred thing
in human life. And the per-
son who does not discover
HIMSELF and express HIM
SELF does not really experience
life. He might as we'll be dead.
Strangely enough, this civil
ization of which we are so
proud, is actually robbing the
human race of that priceless
privilege of self-expreSsion.
The pioneer who. faced a
wilderness without resources,
save those supplied by his own
hands and brain, had to ex-
press himself or die. And be-
cause Of that, one finds indi-
Viduality most highly developed

in people who have lived the
hardest and loneliest lives.
On the other hand, the man
who can depend on a machine
or an organization to solve his
problems soon loses his identity.
He lives on the brains of other
men. He is served by their in
genuity. He follows their pat
terms. AS a consequence. he
speedy ceases to be himself
and becomes part of a MASS
SELF. with no more real per-
sonality than a carrot or a
louise.
There is the tragedy of our
modern life. Why are masses
of human beings blotted out?
That is why. They have let
themselves be blotted out. They
have sold their heritage as in
dividuals for the paltry pottage
of comfort and safety,
A Strange Power
D. H. Lawrence, who spent
his life in trying to discover
and express himself, once said:
I'VE have been drenched and
deluged and and nearly
drowned in perpetual floods of
ordinariness. We detest ordi-
nary people. We are in peril
of our lives from them; and in
peril of our souls, too, for they
would damn us one and all to
the ordinary. EVERY INDI-
VIDUAL SHOULD. BY MA
TURE. HAVE HIS EX-
TRAORDINARY POINTS. But
nowadays. you may look for
them with a microscope, they
are so worn down by the regu-
lar machine friction of our
average and mechanical days."
Pc extraordinary!
You were born that way.
You were not like any other
human creature when you were
born. You we're not supposed
to develop into the copy of any
other human creature. You
were given the power to be diff
ferent; and if you had the cour-
age and energy and honesty to-
be different. your life could be
an amazing and thrilling af-
fair.
But it isn't, is it? How often
you complain of the dullness
and drabness of life? How you
resent your ordinary lot and
envy others their more color
full careers!
BUT ARE YOU WILLING
TO TAKE THE RISKS AND
PAY THE PENALTIES OF A
COLORFUL CAREER? If you

mendous adventure, no matter
what your circumstance or en-
vironment may be.

A S far as New York is
"A concerned there is every
indication that the jig is
up, and that the Hoover
conspiracy, hatched in
Washington and financed
to the tune of three
quarters of a million dol
lars of the taxpayers
money to make a Hoover
holiday by a hypocritical
investigation of New York
city Democrats, has failed.
The events in Albany at
the State Convention and
in New York city at Madi-
son Square Garden clear
the way for victory with
the united support of the
party. The nomin5 ton Of
Herbert Lehman for gov
ernor spells victory; for he
is one of the outstanding
personages Of the State,
clean as a hound s tooth,
with superabundance Of
business ability, unques-
toned public and personal
integrity and actual expert
ence in the management Of
State affairs.
The hope Of the Hoover
ties was a factional fight
on the mayoralty. That
hope has been dashed by
the nomination of Surrogate
John ?. O'Brien with the
support of John NJ. Curry
and Ed Flynn, of the Bronx.
The organ'zation has not
been wrec'-ed; it has been
unified. Faction has given
way to the fervor Of
loyalty.

The Handwriting
On the Wall

Thoroughly desperate now,
the strategy of the Hoover
high command is to resort
to the more than dubious
methods which were success
frl with it in 1928 when
Mr.. Hoover gave such an
Illuminating illustration of
his "sportsmanship." He
who now complains so
querulouSly of "personali-
ties" - meaning perfectly
proper open attacks upon
his official record-was
quite content to profit by
the spread, by whispers, Of
the lowest, falsest person
alities against Al Smith
ever used in any campaign
in our history.
And so with the handwrit-
ing on the wall-for Belshaz-
zar's Feast is over - the
Hoover strategy now, evil
denced by his own and Mills
speeches, is to talk about
"sound money" as though
any one favors any other
kind. When he tells what
his Administration has done
to save the financial struc-
ture and implies that Mr..
RoOsevelt's party would
wreck it, he signally fails to
remember that his Admins
tration could have done lit
orally nothing had it not
been able to fall back on a
Democratic masterpiece of
constructive craftsmanship.
1t was the existence of a
Federal eserve System
which again has saved the
financial structure from col
lapse; and saved it notwith-
standing the fact that under
the Hoover-Mellon regime it
has not been kept to its origi-
nal purpose.
And that system was Gre
ated over the united opposi-
tion of Mr.. Hoover's party.
