fixed and suddenly discovered
that he could see as we'll. if not
better, without the glasses, de-

considered them absolutely indis-

He's not going to wear them
again unless there is an abso-

players of New York and other
Eastern cities will oppose him.

depriveS the country of a great
executive and the Administra-
tion of an enthusiastic sup
porter. He well knew that by
accepting the Secretaryship of

his life. 1t was a privilege to
have known him and to have
worked with him in the Treas

tial to sound judgment: easy of
approach, with a broad vision
and kindly nature-these
were some of his outstanding
characteristics. He served. He
died because he served"
