Robinson of Arkansas, majority leader Senate and the man upon whose shoulders has fallen much of the burden of handling the New Deal pro- gram in Congress, and the nation has lost a brilliant statesman; a faithful guardian al s of the public welfare, a Jo- in the Pew men have made a more enviable record in public life than the Senator from Arkansas. Since his advent into public life until his untimely death he revealed a steadfast loyalty to Am an ideals and ‘Democratic principles. A political warrior of the first water, in victory or defeat he carried forward for thos~ idcals and those princ’ples. Thoroughly routed when he ran for the Vice Presidency with Alfred E. Smith as the standard bearer in 1928, he went on, backed with the confidence of the people, to become a bigger.figure in our national life than had he moved into the second highest office in the land. As President Roosevelt aptly put it, “a soldier has fallen, his face to the battle.” Joe Robinson’s face was always to the battle, and political friend and political enemy alike will both say that his philosophy was to fight the good fight; honest at heart, sincere in principle. No more fitting tribute can be paid to any man. . . g The principles for which Senator Robinson fought will prevail, as sound principles always have prevailed. Despite such hysterical utterances as that attributed to Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana—"I beseech the President to drop the court fight lest he appear to fight against God"—the battle for a better exis- tence, that Joe Robinson led and believed in, will go forward and his influence will long be felt in support of the general program. Senator Wheeler's implied thought to rally the Almighty against the court plan as compared with the record of the mourned Senator Robinson reveals the difference between a member of the Senate and a statesman. Senator Robinson was in every respect a statesman. . . 5o Death of Senator Robinson again calls attention to the ever-growing pressure of modern existence on our public men. The constant strain under which the leaders are compelled to carry on under the force of our more complex living takes annually a heavy toll. In the last couple of years, the nation has lost the late Speaker Byrnes of Tennessee, Connery of Massa- chusetts, Bachman of Tennessee, Stubbs of Califor- nia, Tloyd of Washington, just to mention a few. The cost to the human being for effective public service appears to be mounting and the time may come, as our tempo increases, that steps will have Presuient Roosevelt Tosses Out the First One President Roosevelt turned pitcher for a moment to toss out the first ball in the all-star game which Here he is doing it with (left to right) Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington club; Bill 'lerr) manager of ihe National All-Stars, and Joe McCarthy, American Pilot. was won by the American League outfit.
