G0BLINS'LL Get
WHO? WONDERS
Mr.. ROOSEVELT
Political Suicide BogieS Are
Dared Time and Time
Again by President.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times special Writer

WASHINGTON. April Tn one
month, Franklin D. Roosevelt has
defied more organized minorities
than his three Republican predeces-
sors did in twelve years.
The President has gone contrary
to the wishes, it is pointed out here,
of the majority of the supposedly
most powerful groups IN the coun-
try.
He has made appointments and
advocated legislation IN defiance OF
organizations which have dominated
politics since the World war.
Other leaders have refused to take
such chances out Of tear it would
be what their advisors called "po-
litical suicide"
SO far the President seems to
have smashed several political
theories and bogies.
Although flying IN the face of all
these groups he has been able to
get the legislation they opposed
through congress.
he mas forced 53l legislators not
elected on a nation wide scale, and
therefore, more likely to suffer, to
DEFY their own constituents. They
don't like it, they admlJ, but tney
have done it.
Holds Popular Support
Even more important, it is pointed
out that Mr. Roosevelt has kept
popular support.
Even though he may have played
unconventional politics, and appar-
emily antagonized the parts which
make up the whole, he has held the
majority of the average citizens.
1t has, definitely and clearly,
raised the question of whether those
organized minOritieS exercise as
much power as politicians have been
led to believe for SO many years.
Not even administration observers
are willing to make this conclusion
yet.
But if the equation continues,
there is no doubt that certain or
CARNATIONS, and certain supposed
leaders, Will lose a great deal of in
fiuence they have welded on Cap
itol hill.
IL also may lead the President to
be even more willing to press Ior-
ward with a new deal that ap-
pears to be much more far-reaching
than some OF his own supporters
had anticipated.
Many Are "Displeased"
Mr.. Roosevelt has dehed the
veterans, large section of the
banking and financial community,
the professional drys and the small
but influential band of "irrecon-
cilables' in the senate.
His various requests for dictatorial
power have not set well with many
of the ProgreSsiveS, who backed
him against Herbert Hoover.
His public utility views as re-
Elected in legislation under prepara-
ton have not pleased Democratic
conservatives.
He also has refused the request
of the Radio Corporation of Ameri-
ca, once a dominant interest here,
that Owen d. Young be permitted
to hold directories in that organi-
zation and the General Electric
Company at the same time.

to do so because of their age and
lack Of effective control. If
courses become unpopular be-
cause of their content or admin
istration, requirements serve to
bolster them up. The student
can only protest by Furnishing
himself through not learning,
and this protest is felt so slowly
and remotely that it amounts to
little as an immediate complaint.
Old institutions are not quick in
their movements nor sensitive
to sudden changes.
"The academic mind is repre-
sented by a large group in every
faculty Of conservative and for
mai persons who have been
transformed like grubs from
'grad-grinds' to doctors and pro-
fessors. These tend to perpe-
tuate their species as in the
apostolic succession and to i'm
pose their values.
1.-TWO mental qualities are in
dispensable in normal scholastic
success: memory and respect for
authority. Devotion to words,
classifications, definitions - the
constructions of a verbal uni
verse --characterize the acade-
mic mind. It is humble faith
in the word that unites educa-
tion and religion.
Nothing is more characteris-
tic of academic minds than the
parasitic life they lead on the
secondhand experience Of 9TH
ers.' Unfortunately they can al
ways impose on the unwary by
an ability to cite names, dates,
and external facts which carry
the implication that the speakers
really know what they are talk
ing about, which may or may
not be the case. e."-L.G.

A Book by H. r. Huse


is The Naterdcy Of the Llterdte
by H. r. Huse, member of the
University faculty in the depart
ment Of romance languages. It
has just been issued by the D..
Appleton-Century Company.
The volume gives evidence
Of Mr.. Huse's far-fiung explor-
ations in all manner Of litera-
ture, high and low. He quotes
copiously not only from world
famous "authorities" on words
and the nature Of language, but
from evangelists, advertising
experts, sports writer's, Bah
bits and boosters, and the gilt
tering ladies who testify to the
merits Of perfumes and facial
creams. But the book is far
more than a collection of cita-
tions, 1t is q philosophical es-
say, rejecting remarkably
keen perception Of the true
character OF the reading matter
upon which the minds (if any,
Of the vast majority of Ameri-
cans are fed, day in and day
out; quite serious in its tone
and general intent, at times it
bubbles with whimsicality and is
barbed with a biting wit.
When our public schools were
founded" the author says in his
preface, "the problem of demo-
cratic education seemed simple.
Illiteracy alone, and in a tech
nical sense, appeared as the
great sullen oppressor Of men s
minds. It seemed that If the
common man could be endowed
with q key to the mysterious
symbols that open up a treasure
Of knowledge, democratic
utopia would be at hand. IF this
book does nothing else, it should
show the causes of the disillu-
sion, the limitations Of merely
technical literacy, why it is
that, instead of a body Of intel
ligent citizens rising to the pride
and dignity Of independent
minds, we have the familiar sug-
gestible masses fed on the daily
bread Of 'hokum,' conditioned,
manipulated at will A new deal
is due not only in economic and
political organization, but in ed
ucation. It is time certainly to
reconsider the purposes Of demo
cratic instruction and the impli-
cations of literacy."
The first nine chapters are
grouped under the heading, "The
Nature and Functions of Lam
guage" Part II is devoted to
'Verbomania The Pathology Of
Language and it is here that
the ordinary reader as disting-
uished from the scholar or the
student, will find his greatest en-
joyment. The chapters are en-
titled "Verbomania and Educa-
ton" Advertising" "The
Method of Suggestion" Fairy
land" "Eloquence," THE Ac-
ademic Mind" Literary Verb
alism," and Hypnotic Poetry" ;"
Part III is "Criticism: The Prob
lem of Value"
Here are passages from the
'Fairyland" chapter q take
them at random, not in the or
der in which they appear in the
book:
"The atmosphere of Fairy
land is favorable to the business
of business, which is selling at
a profit The movies tell the
Cinderella story almost every
week. Popular poets and song
writer's stress the theme, Hap
py Days Are Here Again :.

tude. In order of susceptibility,

ticians and promoters Of all
kinds, and notably advertisers
and statesmen
Technical literacy-the abil-
ity to pronounce written words
despite an absurd prejudice in
its favor is within the range Of
the feeble-minded, and an ig-
noramus can read or not read in
pristine gullibiIity. The main
difference is that, with a popu-
lation Of illiterates, control can
be exercised only by the spoken
word. The gift Of Iiteracy has
increased the public that can be
manipulated It is no longer
necessary for takers and three
shell men TO follow the fairs and
depend upon their magnetic
presence; they have graduated
into advertising and salesman
ship"
In the chapter on "Eloquence"
are remarks upon the influence
exerted upon peoples minds by
the sound, the smooth flow, of
| words. The famous passage in
| Daniel Webster's reply to Hayne
is quoted, beginning with
When my eyes shall be turned
to behold for the last time the
| sun of heaven" and ending with
Liberty and Union, now and
forever, one and inseparable.
Doubtless Webster wished to
save the nation" comments Mr..
Huse, land was convinced that
his position was the correct one.
But nothing is easier than such
| confidence: the wise have the
most reservations. A street ora
tor, having grasped some detail
| of total truth, is ready to lead
the world. Many of the great
misfortunes of humanity are
due to the fact that the ignor-
ant alone have the assurance
necessary to lead. The confid-
ent, moral, and eloquent Aboll-
tionists had a part certainly IN
causing the American Civil War,
a disaster which might have
been avoided except for so much
passion and conscience. The
prosecutions of the past, notably
the wars of the Reformation,
are other examples Of inspired
emotional leadership. Conscience
is an eternal dupe.
When Copernicus discovered
the solar system, he delayed pub
lication of his findings; but the
inspired orator is ready to leap
to action. Copernicus, more
| over, needed no rhetoric TO pre-
sent his opinion. We believe IN
Copernicus today; if we believe
| in Webster it is because he was
lucky in choosing the winning
"Certain signs at present in
dicate that respect for eloquence
will progressively decline. It's
influence will decrease with the
progress Of the scientific attl-
tude, to disappear perhaps for
ever. Long ago the Websters
became scarce in Congress, in
the future, as a French writer
points out, oratorical art may
take refuge in the circus, it's
proper home. People will go to
hear charmer of crowds as
they go to see a charmer of
snakes"

ademic Mind:
Teachers live in a world Of
their own. They have their own
system Of rewards and punish
ments, their own standards of
value which cannot be tested as
