Forgotten Man
 is John N. Garner

so completely from public activity that he contented himself with is- suing at the behest of friends, a statement appealing to the voters to stand by the democratic plat form and vote for repeal.
 President Roosevelt has not called upon Garner for advice, so far as is known, since he began thegigantic administrative task of applying the recovery legislation. Washington or to Hyde Park. When here he attended regular cabinet meetings as a routine mat ter but. otherwise he has been practically effaced from the nation- al picture. Compared with the usual role of a vice-presidential candidate, Garner was largely in- active during the presidential cam paign though he was called into conference with MT Roosevelt sev- eral times. e
 The present obscurity of the sec. ond ranking officer of the federal government has directed attention should be done with vice . uCIlLS. HI 4CIVS WAACiA AAS VssS - Ss~eA didate for vice-president himself, MT. Roosevelt gave some thought to the question of making vice. presidents useful as we'll as orna- mental. He once wrote 8 magazine article suggesting that this waste of talent and public salary might be put to use by having the vice. president function as a coordinat- ing officer for the federal govern ment, a sort of executive assis- tant to the president. Many polfti- sal students have thought the presidential understudy should be given something more important to do than to sit merely as rou- tine presiding officer over the sem ate and at night represent the president at banquets and social affairs.
 But the theory has broken down in practice because of the varying qualities of vice-presidents. Usual- ly they get on the party ticket through a deal Roosevelt took Garner to get the Texas and Cali fornia delegations. Ill 1928 Hoover took Curtis to pacify the anti- Hoover senatorial bloc. Often the vice-president is not in close constitute an effective working part ner. That Is the main reason noth- ing has ever been done toward making the vice-presidency a job worth a. live mans time.
 Gamers passive role now is in contrast to the active part he play ed for so many years in the house. As democratic minority leader he fought the Mellon tax mills and was a most aggressive and effective critic or the Hoover administra- tion. As speaker after 1880, he ran the House with a whip hand and was dominant in shaping party is- sues leading up to the 1882 pres idcntiial fight. MT. Hoover sum- moned him to the White House often as a spokesman for the dem- ocrats in Congress.
 Now he will go down in the his- tory books and be remembered as a vice-president long after many of the influential figures of the period are forgotten. But until then he has to ride along as 8 forgotten man.

My Dear DR.. Lennox:

My Dear DR.. Lennox:
Some time ago you wrote to Mr..
Arthur Mullen in Washington re-
garding the probable discharge of
certain employees under Civil Ser
vice. Mr. Mullen advised you that
he was turning this correspondence
over to me. Since that time I have
tried to find out if there was a move
under way to discharge colored en-
ployees-- wrote CERTAIN officials
who might be behind such a move
and expressed in no uncertain terms
my objection to discharging any en-
ployees just because they happened
to be colored. Not only that, but I
have endorsed five members of your
Democratic League with the hope
eventually there will be more Of your
race on the Government payrolIs, in
stead of fewer. / am not one of
those who subscribe to the theory
that a peope should be discriminate
ed against,-in fact / believe they
are entitled to their proportion Of
the patronage.
About the same time I received
this letter from Mr.. Mullen, I chanc-
ed to note an article in the newspa-
per in which a group of prominent
colored citizens of Omaha were pro-
testing to the Home Owners Loan
Corporation, and also the Federal
Employment office, because these Of
fices were discriminating against col
ored people seeking loans, and also
seeking work on Federal projects. /
was given assurance by the execut-
ives of these offices that they do not
discriminate against any race of
people. Since then I have heard no
further protests, so I hope this sit
uation has been eliminated.
| have been wanting to call on you
and a group of your friends, but
since l returned from Washington
last June my congressional business
has been so rushing that l even find
it difficult to take care of my cor
respondence. However, I hope to
talk to you before leave for Wash
ington for the next session. If you
chance to be downtown anytime, I
wish you would call at my office as
| would like to get your views on
the present day conditions, etc.
Anytime I can help you in, anyway
feel free to call on me- If you have
any veterans who need advice or
help, give them a note to me and I
will take car Of them Also, if
you have any friends seeking loans
from the Home Owners Loan Cor
they do not think they n being

AS A FEDERAL E
EDITORIAL ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, DEC. ., 1889

IEDITUKIAL ATLANTA CUNSTITUIION, DEC. y 1861
AS a result of the recent mob-law outrages in wide
~ separated sections of the country, it is probable that a
law making lynching a federal offense will be urged at
the approaching session Of congress.
The enactment of such a law would be in line with
the action of congress in enacting a measure making kid
mapping a federal offense when that crime became so gen
eral in its scope that it assumed the proportion Of a ma
tional menace. Tide federal activities made possible by
this law have resulted in greatly reducing the KIDNAPPING
evil, the apprehension and conviction of most of the GRIM
inals responsible for the kidnapings of the past six or
eight months, and the prospect that the evil will soon be
exterminated.
Now that mob law is no longer a sectional evil, the
most conspicuous examples Of it recently being in states
other than the South, it is not surprising that congress
should deal with the evil in the same manner in which it
proceeded against the kidnapping menace.
Thre is no room in the United States for mob law
under any conditions. If our civilization is to be protect
ed, the punishment for crime must be left to the courts.
There is no midway ground.

The PASSING
Year
By Henry Loukusa, in Detroit News

The year that we measured has ended;
And has fused with the cons sublime.
The landmarks we knew have all blended
In the age old image of time.
Its suns and its shadows have persisted,
Like the loves that we quickly forzet;
But the spring and the autumn il cherished
Still haunt with a tinge of regret.
We meet on this threshold each seasca;
And we sigh as the sands must drift by.
Each grain is as precious as reason.
For they total the years til we die.
