W e e k ly Papar P ublished a l A .n la o d , O re g o n At first, says Mr. Baker, “in those ardent early days, he thought he would be ready for the great task at 45; when he was 15 he looked forw ard to 50. At 50 he was in a desperate struggle over the reorganization of Princeton university. Nothing done ¡Nothing done!” And the years slip by. He becomes a national figure in politics, goes out from the cloistered life of the campus to be gov­ ernor of Newr Jersey. He is nominated for presi­ dent of the United States, and elected. But the great work is not accomplished, the dream has not come true. The most powerful figure in the world, he leads a mighty nation—le«~cis the mightiest of mighty nations—into the most ter­ rific war of all time. He rises to unprecedented heights, rides the crest, then the sun begins to wane. His health breaks, death hovers, he beats it back; the hour strikes for him to leave the office he has held so capably for eight years—during nearly a decade. And then—“in the broken days after his retirement from the presidency the old vision flared up again. He wrill yet write the great book! The novum organon of politics! When he closed his tired eyes for the last time the magnum opus was still unpenned.” Is it not true of every last one of us? W'hat dreahiers we are and what dreams we dream? Many another man has risen to great heights as life has swept along to the sunset years without realizing the one dearest dream of his existence. It may have been of writing a monumental book, or of composing an opera, or only owning some day in his own blessed right a comer of the soil where he could make the fragrant flowers grow, where he could sit at evening and watch the stars come out arid listen to the crickets chirp. No mat­ ter what, he dreams his dream—the dre^m that won’t come true. Every man has his Carcassonne. Perhaps it is better so. The wise men tell us, have always told us, that anticipation is better than realization, that the yearning to achieve is more to be desired than the thing achieved. Is not life itself a tempestuous dream unrealized? There is forever that mysterious Something that we nev­ er quite make out. Is it not the insoluble enigma - that lies back of all our metaphysics, that turns our gaze upward to th 1 heavens and makes real and indestructible our belief in immortality? Baffled here, man does not despair, but lifts his eyes and strives to pierce the veil that shrouds eternity’s undawned Tomorrow. And he feels, he dares to hope, that some day, out there beyond the dark, he will understand. He dreams his dream the dream that w »n’t come true. And it is—it must be—better so. MAKING SPEECHES Speaking of talkers, one of the things that people in a democracy grow most tired of is the use that is made of the right of free speech. Wit­ less public speakers v aste more time of their fel­ low men—time that might be spent at a movie or playing poker or reading a detective story than any other pest. So when Mussolini, the world’s most popular tryant, signed a decree the other day forbidding after November 6, “speeches of what­ ever calibre," we were all for packing up and moving over to Italy. But there is a joker in that order, after all, that constrains us to endure freedom a while longer. Mussolini did an inspired thing when he silenced the orators and forced them to return to work. But there is one exception to the rule, and that is Mussolini himself. He can go on making all the speeches he wants to. and every reader of the newspapers knows that Mussolini is one o f ' the most tireless speakers in the world today. We can endure a democracy in which every man has the right to speak. \Ve miffht enjoy an autocracy in which no man had the right to make a speech. But we could never stomacn a tryanny in which only the tyrant has the right to mount a soapbox. Mrs. F ra n k Jo rd an had charge o f thef d eco ratio n s and the dining room.
