FAIR PLAY FOR EDI
THAT OVEBCOHETH
The American people are the great
est sporting people in the world. 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."

Every physician in the country
knows that the clinical history of
Franklin D. 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.
