Does Not Think This A ‘One-Man’Country I-ardner Think* Country Would Survive Without Any Onr Trad er. Even Hoover. (Special to The Star.' Oxford. Nov. 7— Speaking here; Thursday night, Governor Gardner' declared that, he did not believe America to be a country so depend ent upon one man that it could not pet alonp without him He reminded that the country continued to grow and prosper after Washington, after Jefferson, Jatk son, Polk and others, and lie ex pressed the firm belief that it would keep going forward alter Hoover, the latter to the contrary, viewpoint notwithstanding. Said the Governor in part: “I have never subscribed to the un-American doctrine that any per son is so vitally necessary that this, country would absolutely .go to the dogs If he should quit, resign, die or be defeated. If the Democracy of this Republican is so barren of re creation that it does not constantly generate new pieo and new ideas,! then the decline and fall of the Rr-' public is at hand “Mr. Hoover in his New York j speech gave utterance to a monop olistic Republican philosophy worthy of the Bourbon King louis XIV of France, who. in a moment of po litical egotism exclaimed' “The State, it is I'' Mr. Hoover made the unprecedented statement that unless he and his party were re elected to the control of this nation grass would grow in a hundred cities and towns and our churches and schools would decay What a man! What a man' Is it possible in a country that has been governed by political parties for more than 135 years one party alone has a com pi ftp monopoly on the brains, char acter, and capacity to govern? Is a Democrat to be disfranchised from becoming President of the United States? Were the foundations of this Republic undermined by such Dem ocratic Presidents as Jefferson Jackson. Polk. Cleveland and Wil son? "Mr Hoover from hi? high place, that is crumbling under his feet.1 takes himself too seriously. Hej should remember that he is not the< first President to be defeated. Cleve land and Taft both tarred defeat and took It without prophesying that the foundation of the Republic would collapsp Not Disturbed. "Think of it. the President says that grass wall grow in the streets if he is not. re-elected. If Mr Hoov er is no better prophet about growing grass than he was about chickens, pots and poverty, in 1928, 1 do not believe the American peo ple are greatly disturbed with his present predictions or his present maledictions or his present political horticulture. Why No Grass Grows. "Did it ever occur to Mr Hoover that perhaps one reason grass has not grown in the streets during his administration is that it never had a chance to grow ft was tramped into /lust by the feet of more than 1 19 million men and women walking the streets of this country in ab solute idleness. "The President could have had inly one Idea in view when he made the New York speech, and; •hat was to parade the goblins and; ghosts of fear. It Is the sarcasm of politics that a people already bust-; "d are now to be scared to death by! the defeated President of the United j States. The Republican campaign) touched the bottom of pessimism and despair when the President spoke in New York. The real issue in this campaign is the fundamental difference in philosophy of the two parties. The philosophy of the Republican party is to stand hitched to things as they are. The philosophy of the Democratic party is to abandon the camp fires of President Hoover and move into the territory of the new deal The Republicans in their de fense of things as they are have an ancient and historic precedent. They occupy in this campaign the same position that the Pharisees occupied in the social and political life of Judea The Pharisees were a powerful but selfish class. They created great walls of prejudice and constantly reconstructed the citadels of privilege. The Pharisees were stand-patters of the first order. They believed, and honestly be lieved. that grass would grow in the streets of Jerusalem if they were not in control of the govern ment They were as bitterly oppos ed to the new deal as President Hoover. They were as much in fa vor of a prohibitive tariff as Sena tor Grundy. They actually believed, just, as Ogden Mills believes, that their class was the only class fit to rule, They were as great monopol ists as Andrew Mellon The Phari sees were not whilly bad people They just believed that they were better than other people. They fasted with .punctilious regularity twice a week—didn't eat a thing but they never gave themselves any concern or made any plans for the unemployed and idle that went hungry all the time. The Pharisees were meticulous in giving alms to the poor. The. believed in benevo ,(-"ce and unstinted charity. but they never tried to reconstruct or change the social and economic order which made men so poor as to require the giving of alms. The Pharisee was our first stand-pat Republican. "The Pharisees of this nation are going to have a hard time and a bad haedache on November 8. 1932. The American people have made up their minds tha! they are going to Have a new deal." Book Is Returned After 38 Years Cambndgp. Mass.—Fmeless week at the Cambridge public library last week resulted in the return by .John Mackintosh of a book, “The Story of Scotland." 38 vears overdue Fines on the book, which origi nally cost the library 65 cents in 1890 would have amounted to $290 —the sum the borrower escaped paying by virtue, of the cancellation offer.

Ewzabeth Instructing her, Ciw Kexxco City. £ Inasmuch as moat conferences between the United States and Europe®* nations invariably produce nothing but rivers of verbiage, it is refresh ing to discover that at least one of these parleys, prosaic as it was, gav« birth to the romance that recently climaxed in the formally-announces engagement of Miss Elizabeth Morrow, daughter of the late Senatoi Dwight Morrow, and Aubrey Niet Morgan, young Welsh business man Miss Morrow met her fiance in 1930 while visiting the English capita with her father, who was a U. S. delegate to the London Naval Confer ence. Up to now that is the happiest result of the parley. Miss Mor row's engagement occasioned surprise here, for the romance was un suspected by all but the most intimate friends of the family. Elizabetf is the eldest of the Morrow children. She is a graduate of Milton Acad emy, Milton, Mass., and of Smith College. She has also studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. When her father was appointed U.
