SOCIALISM ON A GRAND SCALE

The recent proposal, made by prominent senator,

seems to have met with the strong opposition of the
American press
Typical editorial comment came from the Dowagiac
Michigan, News, which sad "Why not leave life
to the life Insurance companies? Or else whv not
take all business and let become employees with no
worries about getting payros Let's be social

Best Judge of Peoples Temper

He is probably the best judge Of
the temper of the people and their
representatives in Congress. at any
given time, of any man in the United
States. He has an uncanny perspec-

the clamor of voluble and. vocifer-
Gus minorities and find the desires
Of the submerged majority. Perhaps
this is because he is typical Amer
ican, neither radical nor reaction
ary, but progressive and forward
looking
Garner would make great Presi-
dent because of his gifts of leader
ship and his judgment of and
ability to work with men. He has
often said that most men he has
known in public life were men of
good will. patriotically interested in
the welfare of their country. He has
always found a zest in sitting down
with men who review problems from
diverse angles. men of different ex-
periences. He believes that out of
such deliberations come sound, prac-
teal, beneficial and progressive solu-
tions. He takes to such counsel tables
his own fidelity to principles. clarity
of reasoning and ability to get at
facts.
His judgment of men is excellent.
When he became Speaker. in 1881.
he demonstrated his ability to choose
men for important assignments-of
finding the proper man to do job.
Men were placed in roles for which
they were best qualified He has al
ways liked TO reward merit in young
men, and this gave him the oppor-
tunity. Although the Democrats had
fragile majority of only three votes
overnight. he welded them into
cohesive, fighting organization.
