POLITICAL BLUNDER

GENERALLY speaking, President Roosevelt ranks
as among the most skillful of politicians, but
he went off form when he ordered Mai Gen. Hagood
home"
one doesn't have to be prophet to see the MARTYR
role that will be built for the general by the Re-
publican orators of 1886; the picture of a man who
had served his country at the front in the worlds
greatest war removed from his important post be-
cause of his criticism of WPA
That what Hagood said classified technically
as INSTRUMENTATION is beside the point insofar as
practical politics is concerned. True, one should
have reached the age of discretion by So, and Ha-
good is 63. Just shooting off ones mouth about the
way ones commander chief is running things
isn't done" in the Army punishment under such
circumstances being the custom
But for purposes of 1886 speech making army Gus
tom won't count and what Hagood said about WPA
expenditures being "in stage money" has been
dramstized by the Presidents personal action in
ordering Hagood from his command.

GOVERNOR RITCHIE

A LBERT CABELL RITCHIE hated hypocrisy. He
1 = never contended many politicians do, that
his participation in public life was in response to
higher call of patriotism, or that it entailed
personal sacrifice.
He said frankly that he preferred public life. that
he regarded it field of endeavor where man
of his temperament and qualifications ec-ld carve
out career personally more satisfying than pur-
suit OF any private profession or business And he
carved out an honorable one. Four times the people
of Maryland elected him Governor an honor never
accorded to any other man in the free states his
tory. And each time he received a larger plurality
OF votes His unsuccessful bid for fifth term was
the only rebuff in IS years of Maryland politics
He was a political liberal He believed in state
rights and accepted the component Of state respon-
sibilities. He defied President Hardng's demand
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-02-25

that he send troops to settle Maryland coal strike.
Then worked for peaceful settlement. But he did
not hesitate to use troops against lynch mob of
his own people. He fought national prohibition
when many of less fortude qualified before the then
dominant political forces of intolerance and re-
preston.
He was an economic conservative. Even the COL
lapse of economic system in 1888 failed to shake
his aissez faire views He looked upon the troubled
national scene with eyes accustomed only to pene-
tration of the comparatively simple problems of
governing compact unit whose citizens on the whole
enjoyed a solid tradition of independence and Sc
curity Of that state and for those citizens he was
a good Governor.

THIS BEATS US

CALIFORNIA; presidential offerings recall what
- Sir Walter Scott said about woman, sin our
hours OF ease, uncertain, coy and hard to please"
First comes Mr. Hoover of Palo Alto protesting
he isn't candidate but giving perfect imitation
of one.
Then comes Mr.. McGroarty of Tujunga, Cali
fornias poet laureate, Townsendite and statesman
First he swears he's done with politics Then he
says the Townsendtes would make tragic mis-
take" if they started third party. Then he accepts
their offer to head third party as the Townsendtes'
presidential candidate.
And now Gov Merriam of Long Beach
with the master puzzle. Although his friends are
pushing him as G. O. P. presidential favorite son
candidate he got up in Presbyterian meetin the other
day and, according to the United Press said that
President Roosevelt is "a raised up by Almighty
God to meet the country's present crisis"
History will show that Providence raised the
proper man to meet present emergencies and will
demonstrate, think, that the who now holds
the presidency just the one to meet the situa-
tion,' he is quoted saying.
Have we now a conservative Republican running
on a platform in support of Roosevelt?
Maybe it's the climate.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

TN beginning to feel chummy with Eleanor Roose-
velt Our columns within hailing distance
of each other. And recently I was in a estam-
pede of women at the White House and we
talked about our sons in Fort Worth. So the
First Lady is person, instead of name to me.
I've got four hats and take them all off to her.
One must have special gifts to go through her daily
official routine. So far could discover she's the
Understanding person in the Administration-an
loves it.
Her life must be ordeal with flashlights far
ing, eyes watching her every move and reporters
taking down every word she utters I'm tired of
hearing her called charming. She's so much more
than that. She's gallant Only valiant soul could
maintain such gracious attitude toward the thou
sands of visitors whom she greets each week and
keep that greeting so sincere, so truly kind
Everybody is twice as stiff as usual once they
find themselves within the presidential residence
And you know how ladies are-always twittering,
always curious and always taking tea.
We took tea the day was there In the dining
room, stately and impressive and little gloomy,
the table glowed with candles. Pink cakes twinkled
and frail sandwiches Swooned in heaps or silver
plates. Mrs Roosevelt wore orchids The rest of us
had on our best company manners.
With the exception of the hostess there was not
an unfiuttered person in the room and I doubt
whether she was calm after having run the CANT
let of introductions
was in other, because another appointment
was imminent However, had been told that any
one who wished to keep the respect of Emily Post
never left while the Presidents wife was in
it, so was stuck Then the tray was fetched and
helped myself to tea
Imagine my surprise and delight when with the
very first sip. gazed into the depths of badly
cracked cup. I felt at home Immediately
