Roper Forecasts
(continued from front page)
war lessons generally have, and
unless clearly evident economic
signs and portents are largely
wrong, this is a question that
must be answered during the next
decade if our present economic
and governmental system is to
endure.”
Replying, apparently on behalf
of the administration, to what he
termed the "wailing cry of ‘back
to the constitution,’ ” Roper hurled
what he called the “progressive
and American challenge of ‘for
ward with the constitution’.”
Most of the observers who
heard him were of the opinion
that the president had been in
formed beforehand of at least the
general content of his speech.
The “ifs” mentioned by Roper
generally was considered to hinge
upon coming actions by the
supreme court.
Husband: "If we had a- million
dollars, do you know what I’d do
with my share of it?”
Wife: “No, just what would
you do with a thousand dollars,
darling?”

Hoover Praises
(continued from front page)
Men’s inventions cannot be of
more value than men themselves.
But it would be better that we
sacrifice something of economic
efficiency than to surrender these
primary liberties.
“In them lies a spiritual right
of men. Behind {hem is the con
certion which is the highest de
velopment of the Christian faith—
the conception of individual free
dom with brotherhood. From
them is the fullest flowing of
individual human personality.”
Just Patience
“Patience and perseverance will
accomplish ell things,” said the
rather garrulous, passenger in the
railway carriage.
“Nonsense!” his fellow traveler
sniffed. “Will patience and per
severance enable you to carry
water in e sieve?”
“Certainly,” the other said.
“Simply by waiting patiently for
the water to freeze.”—Answers.
