stantly. He never, as far as
I know, realized one Of his
dreams. And he must have
had many dreams. He had a
hungry mind. a gay, gypsy ma.
ture made for romance and
adventure. But he was de-
MED education or travel. Al
ways he was bound by the
struggle to support us, and the
torturing effort to breathe.
I can see him yet, with a
pity which will never diminish,
standing on top of the hill
where we lived, his body labor
ing painfully after the hard
climb. Yet, even as he painted,
his eyes were fixed in delight
upon the sun-drenched bay
which spread beneath us and
the round, yellow hills, crouched
like great, sleepy cats about
the glittering blue water. So
intense was that delight that
it made his personal misery
seem petty and apart.
A Great Triumph
And so great was that tri-
umph that T never realized his
suffering until he was gone.
Then I saw the tragedy of his
life. But to us, as children,
there was always a heroic
glamour about him. He always
seemed, to us, a conqueror.
Never did a man have a
greater enthusiasm for every
thing. Everything about the
natural world-the play of
light, the flow of water, the
composition of the common
earth-each problem became
an engrosSing adventure to
him. Everything about human

strength and weakness-stirred
and excited him. He had a

A Fathers Letter

California newspaper prints this letter from the father
little boy who crushed under the wheels of automo

We reprint it here for those readers who drive.
It is addressed To Motorists Everywhere and says:

Politics Must
Be Adjourned

In the course of the cam
paign, Mr.. Mills suggested
that in the event of a Roose-
welt victory the Government
would drift disastrously
during the four months in
tervening before the inaugu-
ration. Many foolish things
are always said in the heat
of a campaign. Of course,
there can be no excuse for
any drifting.
We are living in perilous
times. The present Admin
istration is the Government
until the 4th Of March. The
Presidents obligations under
his oath are as sacred during
the next four months as they
have ever been. It would be
futile and foolish during this
>interval for him to attempt
to force purely partisan
measures, legislative or ad-
ministrative, upon the coun-
try, and Of course he won't.
He and his Cabinet could, in
the interval, deliberately do
all within their apower to
contribute to the chaos to
increase the difficulties of
the future regime; but that
would be near treason in
days like these, and nat
urally nothing of the sort
need be anticipated.
Politics must be adjourned
and the present Administra-
ton must dedicate itself
whole-heartedly to meeting
the immediate problems of
the future. It is the only
honorable way.
Throughout the campaign,
Mr.. Roosevelt has meticu-
lously guarded himself
against extravagant promises
to perform miracles. His
views have been set forth in
many major speeches so that
no one need question his in

people. He literally made him.
self part of them. He was al
ways ready to defend them. He
famed in magnificent fury
against the evil powers which
oppressed and took advantage
of them.
And he did not merely feel
enthusiasm; he lived it. After
his long days toll was over, he
went down the hill again and
worked until nearly midnight,
teaching foreigners American
history and the English Ian
guage. To his death, he worked
to set other poor men free.
His Joyous Work
And it was a joyous work. He
wasn't working to save his soul.
AS far as I know, he never
bothered about his soul nor
professed any religion. He lived
bravely and generously, simply
because it was a delight to do
so.
No day was ever long enough
to hold all the things my
father felt-all his curiosity and
friendlinesS and enthusiasm
and gorgeous rage.
He liked a flame.
Yet, to a strangers eye, he
was shabby, and sick, and frus-
trated. But his spirit was
never sick, or poor. That flame
in him had melted all his shack
les, It had set him free from
personal pain and perplexity:
released him. from his racked
body, into infinite freedom and
authority.
Always in thinking Of the
noble mystery Of his life I re-
member one verse:
"HE WHO WOULD SAVE
HIS LIFE, SHALL SAVE TT"
BUT HE WHO WILL LOSE
HIS LIFE, SHAL SAVE IT."
NV father lost his life. He
died while he was young and,
during his existence. he missed
most of those things which
men hold dear. But, by the
very loss of his personal plea
sure and profit, he gained that
which is above all profit.
Spirit and Matter
He attained a god's-eye view
of men and their world. He
proved, beyond all argument,
that spirit can triumph over
matter.
often when I see other men
Surrendering-when I see my
self Surrendering, making ex-
cuses and alibis for my defeat
I think of him. No man ever
faced greater handicaps, yet
never did he admit that they
were handicaps. He was too
busy looking beyond himself to
be concerned with himself. Why
should he be concerned with
his own flawed, finite existence.
when he could become a part
Of that infinite, triumphant ad-
venture of Life?
It was as if a man had the
opportunity to chose between
crutches and wings.

Looking Over
The Wreckage

Looking over the wreck
age of the battlefield, one is
almost appalled, at the havoc
wrought to the public ca
reers Of notable supporters
of the Administration.
Senator Moses has been
kicked to Kingdom Come
by the "sons of the wild
;jackasses"; Senator Bing-
ham in Connecticut has been
retired; Senator Watson,
Republican floor leader in
the Senate, has gone down
in Indiana; Senator Smoot
Of the Smoot-Hawley bill
has been rejected and there
are other casualties among
the notables. The election
is nothing less than a revo-
luton. The new Admins
tration which is inducted
into office in March will
have a majority Of well
wishers in both branches Of
the Congress. It will face
heavy responsibilities.
The Washington times., 1932-11-12

MIR. ROOSEVELT has
W1been elected to the presi-
dency with the greatest
vote recorded in history. To
any one with any concept
of popular psychology or
any familiarity with condi-
tions, and the part the Ad-
ministration played in ere
ating them, the result has
been foreseen for months.
As the campaign pro-
gressed, the soundness and
justice of Mr.. Roosevelt's
views grew upon tho though
full; and the' eleventh hour
strategy of Mr.. Hoover's
managers to instil fear into
the hearts of a people over
burdened now with tragedy
was resented. The desper-
ate attempts made here and
there throughout the coun-
try by some industrialists to
intimidate their employees
only strengthened the de-
termination of the men to
vote their own convictions.
The result is a rebuke
without parallel in American
history. From Massachu-
setts, the home of Coolidge,
to California, the home Of
Mr.. Hoover, ran a common
purpose. There is no occa-
sion for ordinations and re-
ordinations now. In the
American way, the American
people have spoken, and if
the voice of the people is
not "the voice of God," it is
the unquestionable voice Of
the nation.
The Washington times., 1932-11-12
Democracy Faces q
Great Opportunity

And that carries no pos
sible threat to any .legiti.
mate business enterprise.
The most objectionable feais
ture Of the campaign ON
those now in power in
the closing days of the
struggle, now happily over,
was their attempt to per-
suade business men that
Mr.. Roosevelt's election
would mean the wrecking of
our financial fabric, the ruin
Of business. This line of
strategy, while. never toll
erable, was utterly .unpar-
donable under existing con-
ditions, when the essential
thing is the restoration of
confidence. But we shall
hear no more of this sort of
thing. The election results
indicate that no sane man
gave any credence to the
foolish statement that "grass
would grow in the streets OF
our cities" if Mr.. Hoover
should be turned out.
The Democracy faces a
great opportunity; but the
opportunity carries with it
a very great duty and re-
sponsibility. It's tenure in
power will be determined by
the manner in which it
meets its duties and re-
sponsibilities. The jubila-
tion is over, and this is the
hour for >sobriety and some
humility.

ONCE OVERS

Men and women alike are Of

nowadays.
Practically all persons have
their own financial problems.

vitations, patronize theaters
and other amuSements to get
away from their worries.

tent. The victorious party
has made its position per-
fectly clear on the major
issues.
It has made certain def
mite pledges, and its failure
to carry out these positive
pledges would destroy con-
fidence in the integrity of its
purpose from the very begin
ming. And confidence in the
Government is the most es-
sential factor in the fight for
the restoration of a reason
able degree of prosperity.
Thus there can be no doubt
as to the party's pledge in
regard to prohibition. The
machinery must be set in mo-
tion for the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment and
for the immediate modifica-
tion of the Volstead act. A
failure here would be fatal.

Pessimistic Talk

It's realized that industrial
and financial conditions are the
chief topics of conversation, but
some Judgment should be used
as to where to talk.
A luncheon or a card party
or a dinner is certainly not a
suitable place to talk business.
It does not add to a guests

mistic ideas about the cause Of
declining values.

They Have Turned
To Roosevelt

Underlying the popular
purpose in the unprecedented
majority given Governor
Roosevelt is one outstanding
thought-that it must mean
a very definite change in the
general attitude of the ruling
forces toward purposes. of
government and toward thu
interests of the masses of thu
people. 1t is. not politics I'd
say that the repudiated re.
gime has acted on the aristo.
cratic theory that govern.
ment primarily is concerned
with great corporations and
powerful financial groups.
That is what has made thia
campaign as fundamental in
its meaning as that of 1900,
when, in a similar rising of
the people, the old Federalist
concept was crushed and the
Jeffersonian concept was
adopted. The mass of the
people today are intensely
concerned with the spirit of
those in power.
They have turned to Roose.
welt for this new, more demo-
cratic, more humane spirit
because of his character, his
training and his utterances.
l know that in everything he
said about the forgotten
man" he was passionately
sincere. That his sincerity
will appear in his policies I
have no doubt.
ana nOChlng IS more eS-
sential. 1t is sheer nonsense
to doubt that in the minds
of millions in recent years
has sprung the thought that
there is nothing for them in
the preservation of our
democratic institutions. This
thought has been strength
ened by the attitude Of
those now in power. When
ever ruling forces begin to
look upon the masses as a
"mob" to be "handled" or
ignored, democracy ceases
to have meaning.
And so the great thing ex-
pected is a change in the
spirit, the concept, the atti-
tude Of government toward
the average man.
