Members of President Roosevelt s Cabinet
wrangled over plans of action but all were
agreed that conservation of this nation s re
sources was sacred. Mr. Roosevelt, caught
in the middle of rivalry among the depart
ments. did not get much peace ot mind, but
the nation gut a lot of conservation
It has been pointed out that President
Eisenhower is-having no such trouble, that
if there is rivalry in Washington now it is
to see who can give away the most to the
few.
Lowell Mellett, writing in the Washington
Star, said, in part:
President Eisenhower is havipg no trou
ble of this kind. If there is anybody in his
immediate Government family filled with
fervor on the subject of conservation the
fact has not been made evident.
Nobody stood up against the raid on the
country’s valuable offshore oil lands. No
body is putting up anv fight against the |
gift of tire Snake River at Hells Canyon to
a Maine corporation, masquerading as an
Idaho local enterprise. The present Seere
tarv of the Interor is actually aiding in this
pillage. No I ekes. he. The Soil Conserva
tion Service itself is being whittled apart
by the present Secretary of Agriculture
Only TVA still stands firm, thanks perhaps
to its mdepeo<|8B.t, and »
merit inherited from the previous admin
istration.
rfo aetd to the harmony avnon^, tM ;
idert’s helpers there can be expected pres
ently a report by the Hoover Commission
calculated to furnish a boost to the give
away program Mr. Hoover is opposed to
public power projects Recently he appoint
ed a “task force” to plan the reorganization
of the Government’s public power program.
To head this group he named Ben Moreel,
chairman .of the board of Jones & Laughlin
Steel. Mr. Mot eel believes the Kith amend
ment, authorizing our national income tax.
is a “Communist planq” -or so he once
u rote.
The task force is stacked with engineers,
lawyers, and other experts with views not
too dissimilar, nearly all dedicated to the
proposition of “getting the Government out
of the power business”; very few dedicated
to keeping the Nation’s resources for the
people. Mr. Hoover even managed to find
in TVA territory a man for his task force
who says he cannot be described as a sup
porter of TVA.
Mr Ickes though,*. In was being sold down
the river. He should be alive to see what’s
being sold down the river today.
Familiar Hi up
In his address to the country a short 1imr
ago President Eisenhower said something
that had a familiar ring.
The President closed his talk with the
promise of “Prosperity for All" Less than
a quarter century ago another President -
Mr. Hoover—was saving, “Prosperity Is Jusl
Around the Corner.”
It will be recalled that a change of horses
was necessary to get us to the corner to set
the prosperity that was so elusive undei
Mr. Hoover.
Dig Riisiness
More evidence comes to light day bv da?
supporting the Republican Party as one o
big business.
The largest single theft uncovered ii
Washington during recent Democratic ad
ministrations was said to have been les
than $20,000. A short time ago, the Burea
of Engraving and Printing reported a $100
000 theft, or one just eight times bigge
than the piker one pulled while the Demc
crats were Veigning in the area along th
Potomac.

The Christian J ieaftoini
!
It was a funeral. How frequentl^hey !
occur. And .sometime it will be mine or j
yours.
Most of us, strong, healthy, normal peo
ple. put the thought of death out of our
minds Even those of us who believe the
promises of Our Lord Jesus Ohrist and
look forward to a home in heaven,—still we
dread the thought of leaving this beautiful
world and our friends and loved ones.
Maybe death is like birth, merely a change
from one form of existence to another. Sup
pose a doctor could speak through his ste
thoscope to an unborn baby and the uri- ;
born child could speak. “Would you like
to be born into the world”” we imagine the
doi to; asking.
-Oh no,’’ we fancy the unborn child as j
saving “I do not want to leave this warm I
nest. Ali my sustenance comes from my J
mother. I don’t want to be born.'’
Of course we know how mistaken that |
idea would be. It would be tragedy of the j
deepest sort for the baby to .continue un- I
born. We know the wonder, the beauty,
the goodness, and the gladness of life. The
unborn child does not.
Maybe, if we knew, we would look for
ward to death, when it comes, as an en
trance' into a more wonderful and glorious
existence. “Eye hath not seen, nor ear
•heard, neither have entered into the heart
of man. the things which God hath prepared
for them that love him.” (1 Cor. 2:9 A. V.)—

terian Junior College.
Mystery Came
Christian Science Monitor.
Many a dignified judge, clergyman, or
bank president will recall that as a small
boy he played cowboys and Indians with a
lusty relish for bloodcurdling “realism.” He
will note that the civilizing process of grow
ing up tamed the lighthearted savagery of
the small boy, so that the grown man today
evinces no propensity to scalp or torture his
associates.
Even so, we doubt that he will be inclin
ed to buy for his young sons or nephews a
new “mystery game” for children of “seven
and up”. The advertisement for this game
reads:
Striking lithographed box. four weapons,
hatchet, revolver, knife, and bottle of poison
. 100 playing cards, four murder cards,
and complete directions.
Somehow this gruesome and crass com
mercial appeal seems far removed f.-onv-tbe
spontaneous war whoops ot the neighbor
of redskins iAagbag a rip-rearing
j slaughter on the corner lot. Part of the dif
ference mav he in the statistics of juvenile
delinqueuev in the United States
eluding a horrifying increase in sadistic
crimes of violence.
The youih today does not so easily come
to realize that the bang-bang make-believe
“murder” of his childhood days has not rela
tion to norma) life. Instead, he is encourag
ed by TV, radio, movies, press, and comic
books to look on killing, torture, and vio
lence as constituting the major part of adult
living. Grownups may well ask themselves
if they are doing all they can to counteract
this impression by first of all wiping out of
their own minds all morbid or obsessive in
terest in crime.

It is not the critic who'counts; not the
man who points out how the strong man
i stumbled, or where the doer of a deed could
have done better. The credit belongs to
the man who is actually in the arena,
, whost; m <vd by dust and sweat
and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs
and comes short again and again because
there is no effort without error and short
coming. It is the man who does actually
strive to do the deeds, who knows the
great enthusiasm, the great devotions, wh<
spends himself in a worthy cause, who a
the best knows in the end the triumpl
of high achievement, and who at the worst
it he fails, at least fails while daring great
ly so that ills place shall never be witl
those cold and timid souls who know neithe
victory nor defeat.

There are 'many definitions of a gentlt
man, but this one taken from an old scrap
book is about as good as any we have eve
heard:
“A gentleman is one who is clean both ii
side and out; who neither looks up to th
rich nor down on the poor; who can los
without squealling and win without bra|
ging, who is considerate of women, childre
and old people; who is too brave to lie, ar
too generous to cheat, and who takes h
share of the world and lets other peop
have theirs.”—Alice Crowell Hoffman.
