A study of bin in extreme contradictions of pérgonality and character. He is a courman, and we have admired is the urage of audacity, not the tough fiber required to dismiss an incomtent administrator, or publicly konfess error, or tell a Henry Waljace honestly and frankly that his ‘‘mumber is up. His is not the cour* age of humility: or candor. _ Mr. Roosevelt . has ~ imagination, fut he does not always see things Hes elearly.: He is capable of same deep convictions—yet he has ain He is yet he geems to have contempt for the intelligence of the common man. He thinks first, always, in terms of political effects. His is essentially the ‘paternal approach. He “believes he knows what is best for the common man. His philosophy does not encompass the Lincolnian ideal of democracy that everybody knows more than anybody. Few men in public.life have come a@g near as Roosevelt--to expressing and dramatizing the mood and will of the people—yet few have appeared to hold thé people in such little trust. He has great masculine vitality—yet is vain, capricious, self-@entered and jealous. He is capable executions—yet those too frequently are offset by smallness, trickiness, and vindictiveness. His reactions toward those who disagree with him are punitive and he has not hesitated to.use the high power of his position for the purge. You have to be with him 100 per cent; 98 per cent isn't enough. To the 100 per centers he is 100 per cent loyal, regardless of whether they can do their jobs. . Madam “Perkins, for example. As the war years came in, Mr. Roosevelt sensed the trend. A great many of his policies designed to meet, the danger were sound in concept, if not in execution. Yet throughout his three terms as president, he has meddled with many explosive forces with no more apparent understanding than a child examining a hand grenade. Too often he does not seem to comprehend the chine is already on hand for immediate action. ‘Firemen have had previous. instruction in the use of this equipMent and are ready to’ put it to test at any time.

He traded his party off ito Sidney Hillman at Chicago—he gambled withhis place in history —for the chance of just one more ‘curtain call. _ Few men have captured our imaginations as has Roosevelt. He held us enthralled ‘while he lifted rabbite trom hats, tripped the tigh rope, jus‘gled TNT. He did his high jinks gaily and with a vast grandeur about him. He has given us a great show, but we'can’t afford him any longer: He is too expensive. There have been many good things At a time when masses of Americans were struggling’ to reach new levels ef economic and political self-determination, it was a medium of exPression for millions of disillusioned and frustrated people; in a world charged with revolutionary explos-. ives, it was a cushion against vio~ lent eruption. In the years between Harding and Hoover, president schanged, but the tore of Republican thought and powef remained too long intrenched. To have thig dynasty uprooted was 4 healthy thing for. the republic. It was Wholesome to witness the discomfiture at the hands of a then viricle reform movement, of thai earlier Political hierarchy which had grow” contemptuous and arrogant. “Mn_ its early days, the New Deal} ary was a genuine thrust upward toward Tickets to the tea sponsored dy the joint Parent Teachers Associations of Nevada City on Wednesday, November 15, in connection with the art exhibit to be held during that week at the elementary school, will be put on sale beginning Monday by pupils of the elementary and high school.

ASSOCIATED SPORTSMEN ADOPT PROGRAM The Associated Sportsmen of California, Inc. adjourned the 20th annual convention held in Guernewood after endorsing the following resolutions: (1) favoring a state forest program (2) teaching of conservatino and forestry in public. schools (3) establishment of a striped bass hatchery in California, (4) archéry reserves set aside for bow and arrow hunting. The keynote of the convention was unity. Unity ofhotghtaad action by thre sportsmen, cattlemen, wool growers, fish and game commission, forest seervice, U. S. fish and wildlife service in the establishment of a game management program in California that will supply the much needed increase in fish and wildlife and greatly increase our forests. The association, as the leaders in conservation anr of this unified plan for the future. x propagation will bend every effort to the achievement ‘people of mental attainments suitable for the’ guidance of our children,’’ the governor expressed his belief. that teachers are now paid sub-standard salaries “insufficient to ‘continue to attract the kind of teachers we need.” : @ Brachrodt, a deader in the California Council of Education which initiated the ballot measure, announced that the governor's message tops a long list of strong endorsements for Proposition 9. “Every statewide organization that understands the broad problems of education and the vital need to maintain it on a high plane for the benefit of our children, is backing the school proposal,’’ he declared. ‘Every major women’s club in the state has endorsed it, as has every branch of organized labor, the Democratic party platform, Republican central clubs, American Legion, State Department of Education and countless other informed and forward looking organizations. The only groups so far opposing the issue are those which put their personal pocketbook ahead of the welfare of the children of California.”’ The governor’s telegram read: “Replying to your inquiry on be-' half of the ‘elementary teachers of California, I believe the welfare of our country requires that public education remain a state and local function of government. This will remain the fact only if public education is kept on a high plane. It cannot” be ‘kept on a high plane unless it attracts to the teaching ‘profession people of mental attainments suitable for the guidance of our people. The salaries now paid to the teaching profession are sub-standard and are not sufficient to continue to .attract and hold the kind of new teachers we will need. Beelieving that the increased appropriations for the schools provided for in Constitutional Amendment No. 9 on the November 7 ballot will provide adequate salariés for our teachers and insure the benefit of our children I favor passage of No. 9.” Warl. Warren, Governor of the State of California. RIGHT TO WORK PROPOSAL . Deliberate misetatement about Proposition 12, the Right to Work amendment on the November ballot, backed by unfounded aseertions on the part of the opposition, is charged by E. C. ‘Kimball chairman of the large group of organizations and the citizens conducting ‘the campaign for the passage of the measure. “Labor unions*are resorting to the wildest assertions as to what will happen when Proposition is successful.’”’ said Kimball. “They are apparently unwilling to face the simThe fact that the initiative petitions to place Proposition 12 on the ballot mere so very greatly successful indicates the temiper of the people of California who are determined that every worker, man or woman, shall have the right to work in California, to join a union of not to 70 as he or she may choose.” That the voters may determine for themselves} the untruthful apsert{ions made by the opposition.
