Here was man who sacrificed
everything for his country. Call
him a rebel if you willard at
the same time rightly call George
Washington a rebel. He was as
patriotic, this South Carolinian,
as any New Yorker who faced
him on the battlefield. He just
had different convictions, he
fought for them, lost, and bowed
to the inevitable.
In this country, as in no other,
a man has a right to express
his opinion and swing all the
weight he can to the side of
his convictions. Picking up a
rifle and a bayonet to do so
stretches that a trifle-but after
all we still do pirate of States
rights.
THIS ragged old gentleman
= and the bed-ridden old lady
he married when she was a
belle of Southern society sub
sist on a State pension of $50
per month. He lost his all for
a cause which, now that IS
years have elapsed, is honored
by the Government of the
United States in the form of
this Gettysburg reunion.
Surely we are big enough
and rich enough to care for the
old mer in gray as well as the
old men in blue. We won't have
to do it for very long. And the
difference between the $50 State
pension and the $10O Federal
pension is only $40. But it
would mean a tremendous lot to
the old soldiers of the South.

talism by a system Of socialized
industry support Roosevelt pol
icies, it is not because those pol.
icies constitute Socialism. It is
rather because they prefer life
under a more humane and tenn
pered capitalism to existence rin-
der a capitalism that is utterly
unrestrained and heartlesS-a
preference which will appeal to
most sensible people Of all poHt-
ical faiths.
Mr.. Cochran is, then, 100 per
cent mistaken in thinking that
the Roosevelt administration is
governed from MOSCOW" He
is equally mistaken in believing
that my tribute to the PreSi-
dents warm sympathy for and
stout championship Of the un-
der-priVileged was rendered be-
cause I considered him unde=
Muscovite control. I knew full
well the absurdity of any such
assumption.
Many groups of citizens with
widely divergent views as to the
final solution of the politico-
economic problem are backing
Roosevelt today because they
regard him as their common
leader against powerful and evil
forces that would hurl us into
fasciSm. This immediate dan
ger must be dealt with first.
The ultimate goal of society
could not be attained at present
even under conditions Of normal
progress and its attainment
might be retarded a thousand
years if fascism should engun
us in the meantime.

Indignant

Have seen a lot of things hap"
pen in towns all over the coun-
try, and a few things here, but
I was parking my car July 4,
1888, on Biltmore Street, when
around the corner to the drug
store I witnessed a so-called po-
liceman arresting a white woman
for firing firecracker-but the
So-called policeman did not see
this woman throw the said fire
cracker-and he rough-handled
her and pushed and dragged
her to the box at Biltmore
and Calvert Streets about
1918 p. NJ, called the pa
troll wagon, refused an offer of
a private car for himself and
the woman he was arresting and
he talked very bad to those that
offered to help.
Action of this kind helps to
run up the cost of the police
department, for the wagon from
No. 10 on Park Road had some
ride for a firecracker.
You will say it is unlawful to
use a firecracker in D. c. The
woman, policeman, myself and
everyone else know it, too, but
if there was no one hurt, why
not use a little common sense,
Of which the policeman did not.
and would say he should be put
in No. 4, Southwest, so they
might make a man out of him.
His number was 882. Helm, I
think, was his name. I remain,

white-haired old gentleman
whose father had owned a great
plantation in South Carolina.
He, himself, had graduated from
West Point and had held COM
mission in the United States
Army. He resigned to fight for
his convictions. He came out OF
the war with the rank of colonel
and minus a hand. His father
had died while he was away and
six years after the end Of the
conflict he had lost the planta-
ton, sold to satisfy the mort
gage.
He married a girl of his own
class and together they went
down into the purgatory which
is allotted for some unfathomed
reason to many persons who do
not deserve such treatment. His
trip to Gettysburg was the first
railroad journey he had made in
40 years, because he could not
afford such things. His wife
was too i'll to accompany him
but she insisted that he go,
along with the escort provided
for him by the Government.
They have no relatives.

"He Is Neither"

Observing in The Times my
letter in which I said that ITO
the average citizen, Franklin D.
Roosevelt is the symbol Of the
struggle of the masses for bet
ter economic conditions and
against their exploiters," Mr..
Page A. Cochran can "see clear.
ly that our so-called Roosevelt
administration is governed from
Moscow"
Most people see nothing Of the
kind. What they do see is that
Roosevelt is trying to lessen the
inequalities and injustices Of
capitalism and to assure the
average person more prosperity
and comfort than he has been
getting. The President is not
attempting to abolish the profit
system. He wants to retain it
and soften its seventies.
The intelligently selfish cap
italist should see that such a
policy would rebound to his own
interest-that if he goes on ex-
plotting without restriction, he
will precipitate the downfall OF
the economic order under which
he has amaSSed his wealth. But
a large contingent Of capitalists
are too dumb, Short-sighted and
stubborn to realize this. Fur1-
ously they assail the President
as a Communist or a near-Com-
munist. OF course, he is neither.
The Administration, instead
Of being governed from Mos
cow" is pursuing a program OF
social amelioration emphatically
approved in three elections by a
tremendous majority Of voters
in these United States.
When those believing in the
eventual replacement Of capi'
