The basis of sport is fair play. Sport is more than recreation it is the prov ing ground for the development and exemplification of the laws of right living. Most of the ills of our busi ness life and out public life and our private life would speedily improve, if individuals could learn to play the game of life according to the ideals American sport. Every man, woman and child eith er is now or should be, on the all- American team, striving for noble victory. Fair play in politics should be just as sacred to us as fair play in foot ball cr baseball. This man Roosevelt is today tht object of foul play in his race for the presidency. Men and women not "playing the game" are whispering false rumors about his health, to th effect that he will not be able to dis charge his duties as President, ant" that he will not live out his term They base this whispering on the faci that in the year 1921 he suffered ar attack of infantile paralysis, which upon recovery, left him without the full use of his legs. Dr. Samuel W. Lambert, A. B., Ph. E. and A. M. Yale, Dean of the Col lege of Physicians and Surgeons, 190 4-1919, personal physician to ex President Theodore Roosevelt up tc the day of his death and one of the most prominent diagnosticians New York City ha3 known; Dr. Russell A. Hibbs, Chief Sur geon of the Orthopaedic Dispensary and Hospital; Dr. Foster Kennedy, most eminent nerve specialist in Xew York City, graduate of Queens college, Belfast, and Royal University of Ireland, con sulting neurologist New York Gener al Hospital, Memorial Hospital, Nurs ing Hospital, Lennox Hill Hospital. French Hospital, St. Vincent's Hos pital and Child's and Women's Hos pital, New York City These three men, on April 29, 1931, certified a3 follows: "We have today carefully ex amined Governor Roosevelt. We believe that his health and pow ers of endurance are such a3 to r allow him to meet any demand of private and of public life."

Roosevelt, as he has daily written it in his public activities demonstrates that the after effects of his attack are purely muscular and In no way affect any part of his mental ir physical activities except in the nuscles of his legs. i Last year, at my camp, Edgar War- en, while in the lake, got into an utboard motor, and he lost his left irm. He was Captain of the Yale baseball team for the coming year That college did not remove him as 7-aptain. He triumphed over the dis ibilitv. learned to catch with one and, throw the glove In the air, re atch the ball and hurl it home. He earned to bat with one hand. He aptained his team to the champion ship of the college league. Social lonors were already his. He could lave enjoyed them with the sym lathy and kindness of the entire col ege, but he preferred to show the in lomitable spirit which is Yale and vhieh is America, and he becomes a art of the wealth of tradition of Yale port and American character. This man Roosevelt, when stricken. lad wealth, social position, a pleasant lome in the country everything to empt him to give up the grand strug gle. But he had the heart and the nind and the character to triumph )ver his handicap to develop to jigher extent his mental faculties- o seek public service and to give an example to all the thousands cf child en who have been attacked by infan- ile paralysis and to all of our child en and our children's children to shorn these recurring epidemics may iring physical impediments. DOr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, In a recent sermon, spoke as follows: "Once when Ole Bull, the great violinist, was giving a concert In Paris, his A string snapped and he transposed the composition and finished It on three strings. That is life to have your A string snap and finish on three strings. How many,, here have had to test that ot?r Some of. the finest things inhuman. life have been done thai way. In deed, so much the most thrilling part of the human story on this planet lies in such capaeity vic toriously to handle handicaps that, much as I should have liked to hear Ole Bull with all the re sources of a perfect instrument at his command, if I could have heard him only once I should choose to have heard him when the A string snapped and he did not rebel nor pity himself nor quit, but finished on three strings." Roosevelt refused tcf admit that he could no longer bend the bow of Uly sses. He did not give up his place on the All-American team. He has serv ed four years on that team as the Governor of the State of New York, divi Ct7 and no man has dared say that he has not pulled his weight In - the boat, however one may differ from his poli cies. Can the bad sports not see that in whispering against Rooseveyt, they are not only being unfair to him, but they are unfair to every child who is struggling against the effects of an attack of infantile paralysis unfair to every person trying to conquer tu berculosis or diabetes or any other disease; unfair to all our people? For which one among U3 has not his han dicaps, mental, moral, spiritual or physical? Are we forgetting Pasteur and our debt to him, who for 37 years laid the foundation of modern medicine, drag ging his paralyzed limbs behind him? Xaguchi, the great bacteriologist, one of whose hands was destroyed by burning as a child; Steinmetz, the greatest electrical wizard of the age, crippled In his legs! all his life; Saint Francis of Assisi and John Wesley, both of whom for many, many j-ears suffered from active tuberculosis, which could not deter them from handing down, by the force of their example and teaching, spiritual con solation for countless millions of all times; DeQuincey; Carlysle; Darwin; Huxley; Browning; the deaf Beeth oven, writing music; the blind Mil ton, writing his poetry. Clemenceau, Edison and Eastman were diabetics to the end of their day3, giving their public service by virtue of their self-denial and con trol. Andrew Jackson, one of the founders of the Democratic party. Tu berculosis dogged him through a life time. Hemorrhage after hemorrhage came to him, yet he lived through his two terms as President of the United States and until he was 78 years of age, to the enrichment of American history. Thaddeus Stevens, often call ed the founder of the Republican party what a picture he make's as when 76 years of age, having lost the use of his legs, he is being carried in to the House of Representatives, of which he was the master for many years and he turns to the two men carrying him in his chair and says "Who will carry me In here when you two fellows are dead?" In this galaxy of conquerors whether elected President or not, this man Roosevelt, by his conquest, has earned his place and is entitled to recognition for the kind of courage and the type (of character which would tend to make a splendid Pres ident. Instead of an argument against him,-his- affliction and his conduct under it is a sound argument for him. Vote for or against him on any other grounds, if you will, but he has demonstrated in his fight that In fair play you cannot vote against him and base your vote on lack of health, lack of courage, or lack of character. You may feel inclined to vote against him because Mrs. Roosevelt is as dry as Father Matthew and as staunch for repeal as Al Smith him self. You may vote against him because you have mixed up your religion, either Catholic or Methodist, Jew or Gentile, with your politics, and thus you have become a bad churchman and a corrupt citizen. But I urge up on you not to become one of the gal axy of, bad sports and foul players in America who listened to the whisper ings against George Washington, too foul to repeat Andrew Jackson, that tuberculosis would prevent him from becoming an able President or from living out his two terms Abraham Lincoln, that his mother was illegiti mate Grover Cleveland, his youth ful indiscretion Grant, that he had been a drunkard. I need not go on in humiliating references to other sim ilar filths. Let us take counsel with the Holy Book (King James Version, Old Tes tament, Psalm 147; Catholic Bible, Psalm 146): "He delighteth not In the strength of the horse; he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man." Old Dr. Parry of Bath said a cen tury ago: "It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease, than what sort of a disease a patient has." not be elected President. That result may or may not be vital to the inter ests of the American people. But it is vital to the interests of our child ren and our children's children, that fair play govern our Presidential elec tions. It is vital that our children and our children's children, who fight the good, fight against their handi caps, should be protected against the slurs of bad sports. . . . :o: Don't worry about college boys. You also had your pup days when you talked radically all night and didn't believe in women or God. :o: If you are languid and take no interest in things, borrow a hundred dollars and you will learn a new meaning of interest. - GERMANY'S NEIGHBORS OBJECT Arthur Henderso.n a former Brit ish foreign minister and the present chairman of the world disarmament conference, feels that there Is "such a volume of opinion in favor of im medicate action" toward permitting Germany full equality in armaments, that the problem can be solved at once. The only difficulty is that this volume seems to be least where it would do the most good. There may be Frenchmen and Foles who believe that Germany should be given abso lute equality with their countries in the matter of armaments, but they are relatively few. Apparently, most of their fellow-countrymen are con vinced that Germany must be kept at a permanent disadvantage, to pre vent a war of revenge. As long a3 they continue to feel that way, Mr. Henderson's volume of opinion is not likely to" be very effective in produc ing world disarmament. :o:o GRINDING GRAIN ON YOUR FARM Why haul your grain and hay to a stationary mill, when you can get Potter's big portable grinder to come right to your farm, grind your feed. elevate it Into your bin at no added cost.
