Page 12 THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER What Of The Man In The White House? Who Bears The Heaviest Strain? (In The New York Mirror) No one ever seems to think of the terrible mental strain under. which Mr. Roosevelt must be laboring. No one ever seems to think of the sleepless nichts and the disturbing visions tnat must be nis We read more words of criticism than of sympathy for him, though it seems to us that he should have the deepest sympathy. ' You might judge from some of the comment that his critics think he is enjoying himself, when the trutn 01 tne matter is he is prob- , able one of the saddest of men. . . Mr. Roosevelt is flesh and blood and heart and soul. He is one of the real humanitarians of history. He will be so rated in the years to come. It is inconceivable that a man of his mold would not have tremen dous feeling in this hour, one of the most critical ever faced by a chief executive of the United States. It is our guess that he prays nightly that God give him guidance in the decisions he must make and which will affect 130,000,000 Americans. Mr. Roosevelt is normally a folksy sort of man, though he was born to money, to fine living, and to social position. He is a ' man who likes to laugh, who enjoys a good story, who dabbles in stamps and ship models as hobby, who finds pleasure in putting on old Clothes, and Groin? fishinc unit whn smokes cigarettes by the dozens, and gives his pals odd nicknames and who loves to see those around him happy and contented, He is still able to turn his famil iar and warming smile on his peo ple on occasion, but within him his heart must be as heavy as lead. It is not in human nature that a normal man could contemplate the dismal nrosnects of t.h Anvu ahead without foreboding and sor row, and Mr. Roosevelt is one of the most complete human docu ments the world has ever known. If the fellow in the street feels depressed, how must Mr. iRtoosevelt feel. - We think it cruel and unjust to suggest that Mr. Roosevelt wants to lead his people into war, which is the constant cry of his critics. Why would he? He knows the hor ror of war. He has seen the de vastated cities and the homeless women and children and the crip pled and blind men that result from war. His own sons would be in the fiehtinc line with tha anna of his old neighbors and friends and the sons of the little people he loves. ' He has manifested that love time and again. In return the people have given him the greatest dis tinction ever bestowed upon a man in the history of the Remiblic What a wicked thino- it ia to &v that a kindly man like Mr. Roose velt would want to sacrifice the lives of these people in war.' We think that anvone who he. lieves that Mr, Roosevelt would wantonly betray the confidence of the people is a fool, but too manv forget that this confidence imposes upon him certain responsibilities, first and foremost of which is tha preservance of our free life. And with this threatened, as it is, Mr. Roosevelt would be derelict. in the oath he took in the name of his Maker to defend the consti tution of the United States, did not take steps to avert the threat, I wherever, those stena miirht lead, i He would stand before the bar of history as an incomnetent and traitor to the American ideals and to humanity. That is why today he occupies the most tryintr position Of anv man alive, probably torn by con- nic.img emotions and his days darkened by dread. It is strange that his critics cannot see that this greatest of human beings must be sunering in this hour of trial. Well, we are goine to have a lit tie bet on Mr. Roosevelt to win the war for Britain without rat ting us involved in actual hostili ties. We admit that this looks like a hard trick to perform but we have seen him accomnlish mir acles before and this may be an other. In any event, we have al ways found it a urood idea to string with the champion until he loses one.' It is said that from the White House he can see the majestic pile raised to the memory of another man whose life was made sorrow ful by the burdens Disced UDon him when he was president, and, pos sibly, as he views that tribute of a great people to one of its great leaders, Mr. Roosevelt finds com fort and courage in the words of Abraham Lincoln : "Let us have faith that rio-ht makes might; and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it.
