Louis Schwartz, of the firm of
Schwartz and Dickey, expert
photographers of Detroit, Mich,
was an arrival yesterday over
the highway, to visit with his
friends. Jake Schneider, Mrs.
Schneider and the group from De-
troit who are wintering here and
do not want to leave.
Mr.. Schwartz came in for the
purpose of meeting with the
Schneider party because his
friend, Jake. had impressed on
him the many charms of Key
Vests climate and numerous 9TH
er attractions.
His one disappointment was
that he was told that there would
be no chance to take his automO-
bile down to Key West, and then
when he got to the ferry line to
find out that there was lots of
room on the ferry for his car and
several more, he stated.

human resources of the North
west.
But Abraham Lincoln, who
incarnated the spirit of the peo-
pie who were actually living in
the Northwest territory, summed
up their attitude when he said:
THE legitimate object of gov-
errlment is to do for a commu-
nifty Of people whatever they
need to have done, but cannot
do at all, or cannot do so well,
for themselves, in their separate
and individual capacities"
Today under new conditions a
whole nation, the original 13
States and all the West and
South that has grown out of
them, is on a mental migration,
dissatisfied with old conditions,
seeking, like the little band that
came to Marietta, to create new
conditions-of security. And
again the people see an ally in
their own government.
Many a man does not own his
cabin any more. His possessions
are a bank deposit.
The Washington times., 1938-07-08
Freedom Basic

Three provisions of the
Northwest ordinance I always
like to remember.
1t provided that mo person
demeaning himself in a peace
able and orderly manner shall
ever be molested on account of
his mode of worship or for re-
ligious sentiment in the said
territory"
1t provided that religion,
morality and knowledge being
necessary to good government
and the happiness of mankind,
schools and means of education
shall forever be encouraged"
And it provided for the per-
petual prohibition of slavery in
the territory.
Free, educated, God-fearing
men and women-that is what
the 13 States hoped the new
West would exemplify. 1t has
well fulfilled that hope.
Every generation meets sub
stantially the same problems
under its own different set of
circumstances. Anyone specu-
lating on our great migration
westward is struck with the
The Washington times., 1938-07-08

human parallel between the
driving force behind that migra-
ton and the driving force be-
hind the great social explora-
ton we are carrying on today.
Most of the people who went
out to Ohio in 1888 and who fol-
lowed wave on wave for another
hundred years went to improve
their economic lot. In other
words, they were following the
same yearning for security
which is driving us today.
At the end of the wagon ruts
there was something worth the
physical fears. The standard of
life in a log cabin amid fields
still blackened with half-burned
stumps was not high, but it was
certain. A family, or at most a
township, could be a whole self
Sufficin G economic system;
plenty of food to eat if a man
would but reach out and shoot
or cultivate it; plenty of warm
clothes if the women of the
family were willing to spin; al
ways a tight roof over the
family's head if the little COM
munity would respond to the call
for a roof-raising.
Whatever he used was a mans
own. He had the solid joy of
possessions, of owning his home
and his means of livelihood.
And, if things did not pan out,
there was always an infinite
Self-sufficiency beckoning West
ward, to new land, new game,
new opportunity.
Under such conditions there
was so much to get done which
men could not get done alone,
that the frontierSmen naturally
reached out to government as
their greatest single instrument
of cooperative self-help, with the
aid of which they could get
things done. To them the use
of government was but another
form of the cooperation of good
neighbors.
Government was an indispen-
sable instrument of their daily
lives, of the security of their
women and their children and
their homes and their opportu-
mites. They looked on govern
ment not as a thing apart-aS a
power over our people. They
regarded it as a power of the
people, as a democratic express
sion of organized salf-help like
a pioneer huSking bee.

Scarcely any man can call his

financing to find the cash. And
if that financing is of the wrong
kind or goes bad-he may need
help to save his home from fore

Once old age was safe because
there was always something use

When you think it through, at
the bottom most of the great
protective statutes Of today are
in essence mutual insurance
companies, and our recent legis-
lation is not a departure from
but return to the healthy prac-

early settlers of the Northwest.
Let us not be afraid to help
each other; let us never forget
that government is ourselves
and not an alien power over us.
The ultimate rulers of our
democracy are not a President
and Senators and Congressman
and government officials, but
the voters of this country.
I believe that the American
people, not afraid of their own
capacity to choose forward-look
ing representatives to run their
government, want the same CO
operative security and have the
same courage to achieve it in
1888 as in 1888. I am sure they
know that we will always have

MARIETTA, Ohio, July 8.
The teTt of President RooSe'
Uelt'S address tollotGS:
Long before 1888 there we're
white men here, spying out this
land of Canaan" An intrepid
outpost breed they were-the
scouts and the skirmisherS of
the great American migration.
The sight of smoke from neigh
bor's chimneys might have wor-
ried them. But Indians and red
coats did not.
Long before 1888, at Kaskas-
kia and VincenneS, with Scant
help from the seaboard. they
had held their beloved wilder
ness for themselves sand for us
with their own bare hands
and their own long rifles. But
their symbol is Vincennes, not
Marietta.
Here, with all honor to the
scouts and the SkirmiShers, we
celebrate the coming of a diff
ferent type of men and women
the first battalionS of that
organized army of occupation
which transplanted from ov4r
the Alleghenies whole little civ
ilizations that took root and
grew. They we're giving express
sion to a genius for organized
colonization, carefully planned
and ordered under law.
