The First Two Years ‘When President Roosevelt started | upon the second half of his four-year term in office last Monday, many edi- tors took it upon themselves to re- | view his administration to date. A few painted it in glowing colors, but others adopted the somber view, com- menting bitterly upon his failures and condemned his alleged vacilla- tion on some important issues. The latter, generally speaking, cwere those whose world came tumb- ling down around their ears when this nation abandoned the gold stand- ard. They are located in or repre- sentative of the industrial east where the money power has long had the golden calf as insignia over its house Of worship. The New-York Herald-Tribune, for example, sees little of good in the New Deal. Although temperate in its phraseology and adopting the atti- tude of being willing to give credit where credit is due, it accuses the president or having muffed the ball. It sees his administration already Tabeled as a failure, presumably de- ives satisfaction from this fact. Its cans to unite once more and rescue the country from what it sees as im- Pending destruction. The Chicago Tribune, bitterest critic of Roosevelt and his policies, is more belligerent and less temperate in its language but urges the same course of action. Representative of the northwest, Perhaps, is the view of the Minne- apolis Tribune which asserts itself as more interested in the next two years than in the last two years, important as they have been. Although recog- nizing the president's failures and the weaknesses of the system which he has built up, it sees more good than | bad in the last two years, indicates a desire to “string along” with Mr. Roosevelt until, at least, it has a bet- ter idea of how the thing will work out. In North Dakota, there is no real way of judging the sentiment of the People. Our people are not satisfied. ‘They should not be under present conditions. Yet there seems little dis- Position to blame Mr.’ Roosevelt. On the contrary, the general attitude seems favorable to him. The whole thing, of course, has a Political complex. With editors as ‘with others the wish is too often father | to the thought and even skilled com- mentators see as through a glass, | darkly. ‘These reviews are just a little point- Jess, politically, because they are made too soon. No one knows what the situation will be in the fall of 1936 and that is when the next major political deattle will be fought. If conditions pick up the president will get credit for it. If we get copious rains and good crops it is to be presumed that Roosevelt will be the beneficiary of this act of Divine Providence as other office holders have been before him. But the most we can say right now, viewing the two-year kaleidoscope as a whole, is that no one can complain sbout lack of governmental activity.

Though he never reached the post of chief jus- tice, his name will rank along with John Marshall and other giants of the American bar, for no other man of his time exerted greater force in guiding the trend of supreme court During his early years on the na- tion's highest tribunal he earned the jtitle of the “great dissenter” because he failed to agree with his colleagues in numerous cases, A New Englander of the old school and a firm believer in property rights, he nevertheless refused to condone all of the things which were done under the contention that the right of property must be preserved. Over and above it he placed a broader and probably truer interpretation of the constitution. He held that the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of {happiness” applied to the poor as well as to the rich, An old man during his best years on the bench, he nevertheless re- mained young in spirit, was a marvel to those who associated with him. His character may best be assayed by the effect which contact with him had upon the lives of young men.

Because of this the good which he did will live after him and not be interred with his bones. A veteran of the Civil war, wounded three times in his country's service, Justice Holmes will be laid to rest in Arlington cemetery. His should be a hallowed grave, for he was truly one men of his generation. THE IN —BY RODNEY DUTCHE! (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Golf Links at Gatun Dam Leaves Canal Wide Open to Foes .

Ernst of the American Civil Liberties Union. The Wilson transfer is likely to). come before the appeal is heard. HUEY HITS PAY DIRT The latest whisper as to the docu- ments which Huey Long insisted dug out of PWA investigators’ records to aid his campaign to “get” Farley is that the papers will be extremely interesting, but not highly sensa- tac There probably will be enough in- teresting material as to certain build- ing contracts, however, to cause Huey to demand production of files of the Department's procurement section, which has handled the fed- eral building program. The procurement section is under ‘Secretary Morgenthau and in direct charge of Admiral Christian Joy Peo- ples, who until recently was being touted as probably the most. power- ful figure in Roosevelt's four-billion dollar work-relief program. It is rigidly guarded by troops except as to the links.

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, The Heretical Mr. Gore (Minneapolis Tribune) The constituents of Senator Gore of Oklahoma who sent him tele- graphic warning that they would vote him out of congress if he did not get behind the $4,880,000,000 work relief bill have discovered to their amaze- ment, that there is something new Tt is, to wit, a con- » who is not averse to in- sulting a large group of voters in de- fense of his convictions, and who even takes particular pains to do so. Thus Mr. Gore, instead of couching his re- Ply in syrupy and soothing dashed to the nearest telegraph office and dispatched the following sizzling acknowledgment: “Your telegram intimates that your Much as I value Roosevelt is expected to suggest to Cummings that he get Wilson another job, which probably means Wilson will be transferred to that politic- ians’ haven, the Department of Jus- The deciding point was Wilson's ac- tion in overruling a federal prosecu: tor, denying a jury trial, and himself acting as prosecutor and judge in the trial of a PWA employe named Mc- tosh. The trial was widely regarded Pearson-Wilson fight, with its strings leading back to Wash- ington. There was a one-day sensa- tion when one of Ickes’ press distributed copies of an article in the Nation which told all about it. votes are for sale. votes, I'm not in the market; I can- not consent to buy votes with the People’s money. I owe a debt to the taxpayer as well as to the unemploy- ed. I shall discharge both. None but the bully resorts to threats and none but the coward yields to them.” This is clearly heresy of the rank- est sort. It is what is known, in the vernacular, as getting oneself out on @ limb, or popping one’s head into As swift and sure a method of committing political sui- cide, it is heartily recommended by almost all the experts in the field. The telegram not only senator from Oklahoma as brilliantly insulting, but as # gentleman who has apparently not learned the most ele- mental rules of office-holding. Mr. Gore, in effect, tells his con- stituents to go jump in the lake. Even if the taxpayers are hopelessly out- numbered, he will consider their in- terests along with those of every oth- er voter. This is the very essence of foolhardiness; it is sufficient reason for demoting the senator to the kin- dergarten class in politics. Neverthe- less, we seem to detect a faint huzz2h for Mr. Gore, and it comes from the direction of that all but forgotten -|man—the patient and long suffering ag tt Hl : i wit i bls ‘ARDLY had the residents of the Saar voted to return to Ger many, whén the Reich, celebrated the victory with an issué of four stamps showing a young Madonns like mother cheerfully embracing her little daughter.
