MAKING OF A STATESMAN

A S DESTRUCTIVE as war is, its
\ waging or its imminence has
revealed an unselfish devotion to
country which shines as a bright
light in American politics.
Stephen A. Douglas, Little Giant"
of Illinois, is the man who
became statesman, back in 1860,
and helped elect an opponent!
Two years before, in 1853, Doug
las and Abraham Lincoln had
stunped Illinois in a series of de.
bates that had drawn the attention
of the entire country. Lincoln be.
came national figure by his
adroitness in forcing Douglas to ad-
NIT that the Dred Scott decision
on slavery destroyed Douglas
"squatter. sovereignty" doctrine.
Douglas saved Illinois for himself
by his reply but lie had alienated
the support of the deep South.
So when the returns were in, fol.
lowing the 1860 conventions, Lin.
coin and Hannibal Hamlin was the
Republican ticket; Douglas and H.
v. johnson represented the North
ern Democrats; John c. Brecken-
ridge and Joseph Lane, the South
ern Democrats, and John Bell of
Tennessee and Edward Everett of
Massachusetts carried the colors of
the new Constitutional Union party.
This split in his party's ranks
was a revelation to Douglas. Re.
publicans scoffed at lim with a
song which included the words:
His legs were short, but his
speeches they were long,
And nothing but himself he could
see;
His principles were weak, but his
spirits they were strong,
For a thirsty little soul was he."
But Douglas showed them all
something Of his principles.
Realizing the election of Lincoln
was inevitable, he cast aside his
own candidacy, made a speaking
tour through the South. "We must
save the Union," he urged them
there. Lincoln is the next Presi-
dent" And he assured his listen
ers that Lincoln alone could pre-
serve the Union.
The South, true to its convictions
on states rights and slavery, held
aloof from Lincoln, who failed to
carry a single state below the Ma
son and Dixon line. But when Lin
coin stood on the Capitol steps to
take his bath of Office, Stephen A.
Douglas stood beside him and held
the hat Of the newly-sworn Presi-
dent.

Says lAl
That Is Somethinq

If a man knows he is mediocre
he can console himself by sup,
porting noble and high minded
causes.
1t is a Hindoo epigram that
money will buy dog, but only
love will make him wag his tail"
Each day, praise the deserving
and somewhat less often scatter
rebukes among the undeserving.
Very little of education is mis-
taken. If it does nothing else it
confers polish.
Would II Unburden Us?
Not enough pains are taken to
put the great issues Of the day in
understandable form for the mill
lions.
We all think our "hearts are in
the right place." no matter how
freakish our affections.
If you have the talent to be sar-
castle, you'd better be afraid of
1t.
Failure after long perseverance
is much grander chan never to
have a striving good enough to-
be called failure.
Man Wants Bur Little
When a philosophical soul looks
on the happiness of others he sees
that much of it is shallow-mere
delight in the possession of mate
rial things.
Some men don't give up = and
hence win - because it is too
much trouble to give up.
Don't start anything that you
can't finish, and don't finish
everything simply because you
started it.
Be persistent for yourself, but
not too much SO toward other
people.
One likes to pursue absolute ef-
ficiency; yet one likes to be hui
man, too.

THE ORIGIN OF "RUCKFRIzE''


a MONG the political factions Of
\ a century ago it frequently was
the practice to pack, or "ruck-
erize" a convention with delegates
favorable to their candidates.
Of course it isn't done today,
what with committees on creden-
tials and all, but let's have a
peek at the Democratic convention
of 1885 and see how the expression
to ''ruckerize" originated.
Doughty old Andrew Jackson was
determined, despite spreading OPP
position in his own party, to pass
on the presidential mantle to Mar
tin Van Buren of New York. He
first sought to calm the Democrat
ic opponents of Van Buren and al
lay their fears Of the Jackson au-
tocracy, by addressing them as fol-
lows:
MY own race" Jackson stated,
''is nearly run. Advanced age and
failing health warn me that be-
fore long l must pass beyond the
reach Of human events and cease
to feel the vicissitudes of human
affairs"
Having issued this political
salve and given it time to perme-
ate, the willy Jackson issued a call
for a party convention to be held
in Baltimore in May, 1885, eighteen
months before the election. 1t was
the first of the so-called "snap"
conventions and its advantages are
obvious
More than 400 of the 622 dele
gates who attended, history re-
cords, were from four states over
which Jackson exercised absolute
control. No one was permitted to
make. a speech and there was no
platform adopted. Speeches, it
was explained by the chairman
who presided, might provoke an.
cry discussion and deter the con-
vention from the utter harmony it
sought
With none but the Jackson lieu
tenants permitted to talk, the nom-
ination of Van Buren became a
simple matter. In fact, he was
named on a single ballot.
The embarrassing part to Jack
son before the vote was cast was
that no delegates were in attend
ance from Alabama, Illinois, South
Carolina or Tennessee, the latter,
as everyone knows, being his
home state
So when Tennessee was found to
be absent, because of the split in
the party inimical to Van Buren,
Jackson's lieutenants went into the
streets of Baltimore and looked
around. They seized the first
TenneSsean they encountered,
brought him into the convention
and had him cast Is votes in be.

far more worldly woman who went
to her death.
The justification for these two con-
f1icting estimates of the characteriza-
tion is quite simple. A performance
may be called success" because it
draws great many people to the
Jheater and sends most of them away
content. But it need not be put in
the gallery of the immortalS if it does
not measure up to certain standards
which transcend the mere amuse-
ment value of an actress work.
Before reverting to Rex Ingram
and The Green Pastures" we would
like to touch on one more aspect Of
Mary of Scotland" Some COM
mentators have felt that the vast
pageantry of the picture obScured its
meaning, that there was too much
form and not enough substance in
its makeup. This critical generaliza-
ton does not take into account the
fact that the story is dealing with
a ceremoniOuS age and that the issues
between ambitious, regal persons are
often large and hollow and less
human than the dramatic business
we are accustomed to find in our
petty theater of Cinderella tales,
grown-up Rover boys and such. Ger
tainly no one could argue that John
Ford's direction is anything short of
inspired, for this greatest of Holly
unnd r11yrcfins fnrnotc fn ho in
cisive in his effects, even when he is
in eerie mood. 1t may also be noted
that there is nothing vacuouS about
the enormous settings or the crowd
scenes when Frederic March or DON
aid Crisp is on hand, for these two
chaps can make marble halls warm
with the fire of their work. If GER
tain others do not-iS it the fault of
the marble or the performer?
Rex Ingrams attack on the trying
task of playing DE Lawd" gains great
power from his obvious and profound
sincerity, his evident belief that this
was to be the greatest role Of his life
anS that his name would stand or fall
according to his work in it. Naturally
a man who harbors that notion about
his immediate Job is not prepared to
trif1e.
Therefore it must be acknowledged
that Ingram'S 'LaWd" is the best he
possibly could create, and that its
shortcomings are inherent in the phys
ical and spiritual constitution of the
man, not faults of technique or ability
In the first place, Ingram is a vital,
vivid person in his early forties, re-
quired to remold himself into a patri-
arch, to slow his speech and alter his
gait and mannerisms. Furthermore,
he simply has not lived long enough to
possess the innate spiritual poise and
the benevolent air that made the late
Richard Harrison's "Lawd" a gleam-
ing gem of perfection. These limita-
tions no man can hope to escape, but
Ingram surely has made a bold and
admirable effort to compensate for
them, and to those without memory
Of Harrison's performance to serve as
model, the Ingram impersonation
may seem completely satisfying one.
