LACKS "T. R.” QUALITIES
Porltand Oregonian (Ind. Rep.):
We shall not know the truth about
Roosevelt until he reveals himself by
what he does about Mayor Walker,
Tammany’s gigolo.
We do know from the reaction in the
convention and attitude of the statesj
near where he lives that he does not
have those qualities of magnetic lead
ership which distinguished his distant
cousin, Theodore Roosevelt. He can
not assume that air or red-blooded
virility which made the country forget
that Teddy was born to the social
purple.
COLD POLITICAL BARGAIN
New York Evening Port (Ind.Rep.):
Without seeking to inject bitterness
into Governor Roosevelt's hour of
triumph, we feel bound to say that
both the way in which the nomination
was made and the prospect it Loids
out for the United States must strike
dismay into many American hearts.
The nomination was brought by as
cold a political bargain as our conven
tion histories have known. Speaker
John N. Garner, in control of the nine
ty votes of California ai\d Texas, was
bribed by an offer of the Vice Presi
dential nomination to hand over to
Governor Roosevelt the Presidential
nomination.
CAMP uGN LIKE THAT OF 189ft
Kansas City Star (Ind.): Governor
Roosevelt owes his nomination chiefly
to two considerations—policital avail
ability, and the belief in the West and
South that he represents opposition
to the big interests.
Most of the delegates at the Chicago
convention knew very little about their
candidate. There was an extraordin
ary lack of enthusiasm for him per
sonally. Roosevelt was far* from be
ing the idol of his convention support
ers that Al Smith was.
The set-up for the campaign then
is somewhat like that of 180ft, when
Bryan sought to align the South and
West against the East.
VETERANS MISLED
Chicago Post; The veterans gather
ing in Washington have been misled
by demagogical politicians, and in
many cases by revolutionary commun
ists, who delight to fish in troubled
waters and would be pleased to see
riots and other disorders in the Na
tional Capitol.
The right to petition Congress is
inviolable, but the veterans can sign
petitions at home. And they must
know that bonus legislation at this
time would wreck the financial pro
gram of the government and inflict
irreparable injury on the nation’s
business and great hardship on the
nation’s workers.
AN OPPORTUNIST
Boston Herald (Rep.): The Demo
crats have chosen a man who, by the
admission of friends long associated
with him, is deficient in the qualities
of leadership and statesmanship and
is inferior in character, ability and
intellectual impact to such rivals as
Smith and Baker and Ritchie. Not
since 1890 when William Jennings
Bryan orated himself into nomination
has the party selected a standard-bear
er in whom the country has so little
confidence.
The suspicion that Governor Roose
velt is a slippery opportunist who will
break the rules of the game when it
is to his advantage to do so has been
pretty well confirmed by the tactics
at Chicago.
QUIT KICKING AND GO TO WORK
Continual howling about reduced
earnings of many corporations is do
ing much to prolong the depression
intimidate the individual and drivt
money into hiding.
Why shouldn’t corporation and priv
ate earnings fall below the peaks ol
two or three years ago? We wen
then living under abnormal conditions
When an automobile salesman with
out any capital could open an expen
sive show room and sell automobile:
as fast as he could get them, we wen
net living in normal times. When i
bond salesman without any practiea
^experience, capital or knowledge ol
the intrinsic value of the securities he
i handled, could open an office equipped
; with expensive furniture and oriental
i rugs, and sell securities, bonds, stocks,
etc., to a clamoring public, and make
money faster than he ever dreamed of,
ordinary caution should have warned
anybody conditions were not normal.
When a real estate operator could take
worthless land and sell it at fabulous
figures which no normal crop value
could justify, it should have been self
evident that there was something
wrong. And so on through every line
of industrial, agricultural and financial
activity.
Iluring ten years of inflation, count
less persons came to think that by
their own ability and shrewdness they
were creating wealth for themselves
by speculation when, as a matter of
fact, most of them were creating noth
ing and raving nothing while they
lived in a fool’s paradise which they
thought would last forever.
The majority of persons have more
today than they had in pre-war times
but they complain about having less
because they are making comparisons
on a false basis.
This is true of individuals and it is
true of companies. Industrial concerns
expanded beyond any normal require
ments. They have endeavored to main
tain operations on an inflated basis
which cannot be done because there
is no longer any artificial demand to
maintain such production.
All over the nation, one-man in
dustries and one-man farms are start
ing again on a deflated basis. You can
drive through the country and see
little “shacks” springing up on cheap
land and in the far away places. The
occupants of these little homes are
going to produce their living and,
gradually make a little surplus. The |
big farmers who bought high-priced
land on the strength of high-priced
crops, as well as the industries which
built and equipped plants nt peak
prices and built up peak overheads,
are all going to have to readjust them
selve- to the basis of the man who is
starting at the bottom today. The
laboring man who enjoyed wartime
wages for the past decade is in the
same boat.
The same inflation that affected in
dustry and the individual also affected
government and taxation, and govern
ment is among the last to recognize
conditions and reduce its mushroom
expansion accordingly. The trouble
with government is that its managers
(our public officials and public serv
ants) will not reduce their own ‘'unc
tions voluntarily. The reduction will
have to be forced by a tax-weary
people who, after they have adjusted
their own personal and business af
fairs, will turn to their governmental
problems which in a large measure
they have permitted to expand, by
their own indfference, without check
during the past decade.
Emphasizing the term “hard times”
has become more or less a racket in
dulged in by a growing army of theor
ists who would remedy our ills through
schemes which try to create employ
ment at public expense, thereby furth
er discouraging industry through ex
orbitant taxation, thus creating more
unemployment. Most of our economic
doctors are afraid to state in plain
English that we are on a new basis;
that products of all kinds will be sell
ing at pre-war prices; that a large
part of our unemployed are going to
have to make employment for them
selves at wages more nearly what they
received before the war. Many of the
jobs they enjoyed will never return
bcause the conditions that producd

them are gone forever unless w* start
another world-wide war, which would
be a terrific price to pay to stimulate
employment.
It may be hard medicine to lake but
it is reality and the soo&er we recog
nize the conditions and adjust our-,
selves to them, the sooner will we
conquer the depression by merely re
turning to more normal standards of
living.
BACKING AND FILLING
Topeka Capital: More recent events
have shaken the confidence, however,
in Governor Roosevelt’s qualities.
Former Governor Smith was the first
to charge that hissuccessorhad hedged
on power control in New York State.
Meantime Governor Roosevelt began
a course of wobbling which continued
even up to the convention. He issued
a statement that attacks should not
be made on President Hoover. This
offended so many Democrats that he
quickly reversed himself and made the
speech in which he accused the Presi
dent of being run by big interests to
the neglect of “the forgotten man.”
In the Tammany inquiry he either
was silent or broke out in abuse of
leading citizens, including Rabbi Wise,
who desired corruption exposed and
punished. With all the evidence of
the misconduct of Mayor Walker in
accepting money in huge sums with no
pretense of returning value received,
unless in political favors, Governor
Roosevelt publicly criticized not Walk
er but Judge Seabury, conducting the
inquiry, although no charges against
Seabury were made of any character
from any quarter.
At last the New York World Tele
gram and the whole group of Scripps
Howard papers printed a blistering
arraignment of the Governor in a
featured double-column editorial head
ed: “The Transformation of Roose
velt.” Besides the independent How
ard press the New York Times, Even
ing World, Evening Post, The Amer
ican arid the Herald Tribune joined in
declaring loss of faith in the candidate
for President. “The saddest thing in
American public life,” deplored the
Evening World, “is the thing politics
has done to Franklin Roosevelt.” The
World-Telegram concluded its review
with the remark, “and thus is made
clear the reason why those who are
closest to him see in Franklin D.
Roosevelt not another Teddy, but an
other trimmer.” ,
He has four months to reinstate
himself among these and other former
adnirers*. The campaign will put
his qualities of iha.acter to a further
test. As between Herbert Hoover and
Franklin Roosevelt the country will
render a just verdict in November.
BLAME RESTS ON ADULTS
Education of motorists in traffic
safety is still in the little red school
house stage of development, in the
opinion of Harold G. Hoffman, Motor
Vehicle Commissioner of New Jersey,
who believes that adults are largely
responsible for the slow progress of
safety training.
Although good work has been done
in instilling safety codes in the young,
Commissioner Hoffman comments,
"Our efforts in teaching safety to
children cannot come to full fruition
until we have been successful in bring
ing to the adult motorist a full sense
of responsibility to his own children
and others. We must engender, too,
a general and wholesale respect for
the motor laws designed to promote
safety on the highways, and insist
upon their equitable enforcement.
Commissioner Hoffman also points
out that while younger children have
demonstrated an apitude to assimilate
safe practices, the elder ones, now in
high school and college have not shown
the same tendency.
“Statistics show,” he says, “that
these youngsters are notoriously un
safe drivers, and for the tragic ac
cident record of youth, I am convinced
that our high schools and colleges
must accept a large share of responsi
bility. The high schools prepare these
boys and girls for various activities of
life; but when it comes to an activity
that we are sure most of them will
take up, that of driving a car, they do
comparatively little.
“Education in the traffic field is un
iversal in its application. Too often
we are tempted to confine considera
tion of it to children, and even to the
motor vehicle owner and operator, for
getting that the automobile manufact
urer, the motor vehicle administrator,
the highway engineer, the legislator,
and even the corner traffic cop always
must go on acquiring new and more
useful knowledge.”
IT IS A NEW DEAL
Des Moines Register (Ind. Rep.):
The Democrats have avoided the effects
of a long, disruptive deadlock.

which he characterized as “a very
