No Threat From Left

EURTHER, if Mr.. Roosevelt is to be scared by
opposition, it will have to be fright conured up
by the opposition from the right There no radi-
cal or third party threat of any significant proper
tons whatever threat from the left however
would be the only type of opposition which might
scare Mr. Roosevelt into more constructive and de-
termined policies
Any real challenge will actually come only from
reactlonaries. Such challenge would in all proba-
blllty lead Mr. Roosevelt to play safe and to stress
MS moderation and the absence of any menace to
the captallStlc system in his policies.
Moreover, strong opposition to President Roose-
welt hardly could exist without cutting down his ma
Jorty in Congress very markedly in next falls eec-
ton. This would mean that he could not do very
much, even If he were ever sincerely committed
to real New Deal. He would be in an even worse
position than Theodore Roosevelt was in his second
term, when the Square Dealer" could make little
Roadway, even against the reactionares in his own
party. Further he would be slowed up for fear that
he might lose his majority in the congressional cleo
tions of 1888.
am willing to concede that there is some jlIsti-
fcatlon for having lost confidence in Mr. Roosevelts
intention of doing anything conclusive with respect
TO transforming our economic system. But, if one
does retain confidence in the President believe that
1t is most logical to wish that he shall receive an over
wheming victory at the polls in November.

few months that college held no
interest for him and went back to
his tinkering.
He made his first successful in
ventions in 1866. These consisted
of device for replacing derailed
cars upon railroad tracks and a
reversible steel railroad frog. His
father declined to finance him,
declaring he knew nothing of
railroad matters. Westinghouse
found two partners in Schenec-
tady.
THE following year he married
l. Margaret Erskine Walker He
met her upon railroad train,
managed to get her into converse
ton, and determined to himself,
then and there she would some
Gay be his wife A few months
later she consented to become Mrs.
Westinghouse.
In 1868 he and his bride moved
to Pittsburgh where, as already
related, the air brake was success
fully demonstrated and the air
brake company organized
The invention of so successful a
device as the air brake would have
satisfied many a. man. But George
Westinghouse was not that kind of
a man. The air brake was merely
a spur to his inventive genius.
Having successfully sold the air
brake to the railroads of America,
Westinghouse was off to England
to stage the same long battle all
over again with skeptical railroad
ers of Great Britain. Then back
to the United States he came and
began to turn his attention to i'm
proving the air brake and to in
venting other things.
An amazing restlessness drove
him on, seemingly tirelessly, from
one thing to another. The success
of the air brake encouraged him to
work on other devices for the rail-
roads and he began to experiment
with switching and signaling de-
vices. II
In the years between 1880 and
