Whether or not we approved all of his policies or actions, whether we were among his critics or his friends, we each of ns admitted and admit his neatness and his overwhelming desire to serve America and the cause of peace. A great American has lift ns. And the nation grieves for this man who rose so bravely above physical handicaps. He set his coarse to the stars and held the helm true in spite of the winds of hate and calumny. The price of democratic government is high. Three presidents have died in oar wars—three presidents—Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt. How can we atone? No marble memorial, no spire of stone is enough. What we must do is to write indelibly on the pages of history the Four Freedoms. The real memorial should be to make a lasting peace in the name of the sum who fought for the rights of all men. And as we sorrow for the nation, for the family of the sum Roosevelt—let ns pray for the new President—for the man who will have to carry an in the most critical hours of the world’s history. The tired hand has laid down the torch. The only tribute that Franklin Delano Rooaevelt would want would be the renewed and renewing unity of the American people in striv ing to achieve the ideals for which he lived and hoped and fought and died—his undying purpose—the brotherhood of all men. The price of freedom has been paid. The sacrifice has been laid upon the altar. Let us my of him as John Banyan said of that other warrior: “So he passed over, and afl the trumpets sounded for Mi on the other side.’* --- 25 CANDIDATES ARE ON LIST IN CITY PRIMARY FOR CHARLOTTE MAYOR Herbert ^H.
