A few weeks ago memorial exercises were held in the Metropolitan theatre in| honor of Former President Theodore Roosevelt. There were many genuine admirers of Roo: ‘ is were thie fk tendencies.

They did not call him an “anarchist” any more;) they did not even call him a “bolshevik.” Col. George B. Lamping, Spanish-American war veteran and personal friend of Theodore Roosevelt, | was asked to preside at this meeting—asked by some | jof the very men who are now calling him “bolshevik.” | At that time Lamping wasn’t considered a “radical” or a “menace.” At that time he was in harmony with them—namely, he was ready to give praise to |the same man they were praising—and while he was always | ‘a Roosevelt man and they only belated “admirers,” they | chose not to make any distinctions. He was a nice fellow) then; a public-spirited citizen; a great friend of a great man, and so on, and so on. If anybody had gone into that) | Roosevelt meeting and called either Roosevelt or Lamping al “radical” or an “anarchist” or a “bolshevik,” Lord, what a) riot there would have been! Yet today, because Lamping chose a course independent of private dock owners and Jap interests and the political | Jackals who are trying to run everything here, he is called a “bolshevik.” What a change since Octobert The same interests that are maligning him are the very ‘ones that maligned Roosevelt—and for the same reason because he was independent of the political jackals who ran the party conventions. | Not one thing that has been said against Lamping but was said by the very same newspapers and the very same} | political interests against Roosevelt. So much so that if Theodore Roosevelt were the candidate for the port commission today, in place of his friend Lamp- ing, he, too, would be the subject of abuse and vilification and character assassination that has fallen to Lamping’s lot.

Imported Americans keep alive a tender regard for “The Fatherland.” Quite natural and, in a way, commendable. But do we not sometimes lone sight of the fact that WE are fathers, too, and we are fathering a land for our sons and their sons? Doesn't the thought help as a little not to rely on what our an- cestors have done for us, not to be gulded necessarily by precedent, to be steered forever by the dead hand, but to remember that we, are making history and that we need to make ft not alone to mave own skins, but for the safety and freedom of our descendants?
