A GREAT VISION
No one' can foretell what history
will say of Franklin D. Roosevelt, He
is yet to meet much critict*» at-the
hands of would-be leaders who put
party success and personal agrartd-
isement above common good. To
whatever extent these- malcontents
and ehronk; critics are able to hand!
cap the efforts of the President
his plans for the nation, to that ex-
tfcey vri^ffle^hl* future place
In history. .... ,.
However, regardlWh of ouccegg or,
there are none but that will
agree that he is a man with a great
vision. Not since the lowly Nksarene
worked and died in prder to save
wrongs, 1
mdh lived with vision so broad and
from their own
has a
. folly sympathetic as Mr. Roose-
velt. Even those who would destroy
his usefulness in order to raise
themselves and their followers to
power admit that realisation of the
things for which he stands would
liberate the world from much of its
sordklncss and suffering. Their op-
is based on the weak argu
ment that it is all too perfect and
cannot be accomplished.
In enumerating what has been
termed his twenty-five lyear plan,
which were it'realized would change
' -the customs and HNr-
the entire nation,
Roosevelt has definitely
placed himself as a servant of the
people, especially of that great mass
of common , peeplk whose lot it has
Been in all the past to suffer the
Wrongs of their more fortunate fel-
low men. Probably never in all the
history of^the world has a mere man
issued such a startling challenge to
the world as that which Mr. Roose-
velt has issued in his demand that
governmental agencies so func

and peace to all men.
Far and beyond anything that any
thrown down to the confe^ _ „ , Jd^^as^Zed
dream, Mr. Roosevelt has already
gone, in his effort to so change con-
ditiona in this country tW»t much of
known. His pian includes flood con-
trol, slam eleafenee, forestry con-
servation, placing of population in
productive centers, governmental
mrchase and owhership of sub-mar-
ginal land, supervision of labor and
Industry to prevent crowding in
trade, and Industries and wveFpro-
tton.* of °a

It means that a new day has arisen,
A new dra h»« begun, a new spirit
of brthOrhoo& has S»i*«t upon men
and to dream of a return to the past
is bUt to dream of failure and ob

this case it ia possible of^pdedm

will come to those men who have a
part in helping to make real the
things of which * Mr. RoOsevelt

should provide. A11 the vast .efforts
of the government are only make-

In the final analysis the question
comes down to the individual and He
must sink or swim because of what
he does or does not do. Thrift, sav-
ing and work are still the instru-
ments by which men may gain inde
