Bv WALTER LIPPMANN

In the town of Emporia in the
State of Kansas there died on Sat
urday one of the most widely be-
loved Americans of our time. Yet
for nearly fifty years he said what
was in his mind so that none could
misunderstood where he stood on
the greatest issues which have
aroused our people; and again and
again he was a crusader for his
convictions. II was not then by hid
ing his opinions for fear of offend
ing those who disagreed with him
that he won and held the affec-
tionate confidence of men and wo-
men in every walk of life and OF
every faction and every sect.
Will White was loved because
he did in fact give unto others
that which they were then lrreslstl-
blv drawn to give back to him, and
would have been uncomfortably
ashamed not to give back to him.
He liked them enough to enjoy
them. He liked, and he had the
eve Of a poet to discern, that thing
in each other man which, then
all the tumult and the shouting
are over, is still the best thing the
other man is and could be. And to
this. because modern men are
lonely in their souls and are hum
gry for fellowship, his countryrnen
responded, and they laughed with
him at themselves and at him with
themselves, and felt comforted and
were made whole again.
His life is the proof that democ,
racy is more than method OF
government, and more than a bill
of rights and more than the liber-
ties and equalities of men. 1t Is a
fraternity which holds men to-
gether against anything that could
divide them. 1t cools their levers
subdues their appetites and re-
strains them from believing and
saying and doing those irreconcll-
able, irreparable, incapable things
which burst asunder the bonds OF
affection and of trust.
Will White was a gifted writer,
a shrewd politician, a fascinating
person and something of a prophet.
But what made him the greatest
single influence for good in the
journalism and in the public life
of our age was that he was an
example of how a free citizen can

TODAY and TOMORROW
BY WALTER LIPPMANN

be entirely independent within the
community of his fellow men. He
could not and would not become
separated from them. He was
never Grabbed, envenomed, fanati-
cal because he felt instinctively
and knew by experience, that the
community must go on, and in
deed will go on, no matter who
wins the argument, who carries
the election, who has triumph and
who the disappointment. This is
the positive virtue of which toler-
ance is only the negative aspect.
And this is the true patriotism of
democracy that a man should, as
William Allen White did, love his
countrymen along with his coun-
try.
All my life, since I first became
aware of anything, 1 have known
him and, like countless others,
have leaned upon him as younger
men do upon older men. He was
something to lean upon, far SOL
ider and more genuine than the
enumerated distractions and the
series of generalites by which we
have sought to express the demo-
cratic faith in this age when faith
had become dim and the faith is
challenged. For as long as I can
remember when any one wished
to find out or was advising some
Ole from abroad how to find out
what was the American view at the
heart of the nation and in its pur-
est form, he turned as matter
of course to William Allen White
in Emporia, Kan.
Yet he was no more the average
or the typical American than was
Lincoln or than Churchill is the
average and typical Englishman.
He was a representative man who
could have been only an American,
could have matured only on this
soil and in this tradition. But he
was not the composite average of
the American qualities, the good
and the bad; he represented what
these varied qualities are meant
to be and are capable of being.
That is why he touched mems
hearts. For they felt that somehow
he was something of which they
who live on the same soil and in
the same tradition were meant to
be.
