“A voice from the grave” came
to me recently. I didn’t hear it; I
read it. A friend in Charleston sent
this to me; it is a sort of farewell
to the American people by “Al”
Smith, the man who began life as
a boy working in the Fulton Fish
Market of New York, and served as
governor of the state of New York
four times.
One might think that election to
political office is not always proof
of great qualities, since the element _
of popularity enters so largely, but! Smith for the presidency in 1928.

which the Constitution designates.
But let there be no change by
usurpaion; for, though this, in one

instance, may be the instrument of
good, it is the customary weapon
by which free govemmenta are de
stroyed. The precedent must al

any time yield.”
This is the very essence of wis

, lowed has done great harm.
‘‘As a very important source of
strength and security', cherish pub
lic credit, not ungenerously throw
ing upon posterity the burden
which we ourselves ought to bear."
That is timely, though it is late
to think about it.
"A passionate attachment of one
nation for another produces a va
riety of evils, sympathy for xa«

“Against the insidious wiles of
foreign influence (I conjure you to
believe me, fellow-citizens) the
jealousy of a free people ought to

and experience prove that foreign

had set and the evening shadows
had come upon them. Perhaps I
might sum it up in the parting

York, was regarded by Elihu Root
as the best informed man in the
convention. Mr. Root was a great
lawyer and a Republican; Al Smith
was a Democrat who rose from
poverty to eminence by hard work
and unaided study. In his last days
Al Smith, a man of wealth and po
sition, looked back over the years
and spoke from study, observation
of Al Smith which I quote today
and ripe experience. So the words
are like a voice from the other
world. Hear him:
J‘Whgt are these dangers that I
see? The first is the arraignment
of class against class. It has been
freely predicted that if we were
ever to have civil strife again in
this country, it would come from
the appeal to passion and prejud

gogues that would incite one class
of our people against the other.”
Well, we certainly have a full
measure of that.

George Washington, the towering

Let Washington speak to us:
“I have already intimated to you

a more comprehensive view, and
warn you in the most solemn man

We have seen great changes
merely by the whim of bureau

“The common and continual mis

sufficient to make it the interest
and duty of a wise people to dis

proper, but in the hands of polit
ical puppets of an economic autoc
racy, such power would prbvide
shackles for the liberties of vour
people.”
Verily how true, indeed! A well
known newspaper said editorially
last week that the Truman Admin
istration has on hand almost seven
billion dollars of unspent money
for aiding other nations. Why, then,
ask for seven billions more? Some
time ago I quoted an authority as
saying that the Truman Adminis
tration now has on hand unspent
appropriations baout equal to the
vast amount it now asks from Con
gress. Don’t you see that all this.
gives to that horde of bureaucrats j
vast power without going again to|
Congress; it means that Congress is
losing its grip.
‘The next danger that is appar
ent to me is the vast building up
of new bureaus of government,
draining resources of our people in
ar common pool of-redistributing
them, not by any process of law,
but by the whim of a bureaucratic
autocracy.”
“Al” was a prophet, wasn’t he?
“That was pretty plain. That was
a recognition in the national con
vention of the rights of the States.
But how is it interpreted? The Fed
eral CJovernment took over most of
the relief problems, some of them
useful and most of them useless.”
(Relief to be through the States).
Well, we can’t deny that, can we?
“And the sin of this whole thing,
and the part of it that worries me
and gives me concern, is that this
haphazard, hurry-up passage of
legislation is never going to ac
complish the purposes for which it
was designed and—bear this in
mind, follow the platform—under
State
ernment so firmly controls all this
that the Chairman of one such
Board wrote to me mat although
he agreed with a suggestion of
mine he was afraid to adopt it for
fear of losing FEDERAL AID. And
so we proceed on the merry way
of strangling the States and local
self-government.
“Let’s see how it was carried
out. Make a test for yourselves.
Just get the platform of the Dem
ocratic Party, and get the platform
of the Socialist Party, and lay them
down on your dining room table,
side by side, and get a heavy lead
pencil, and scratch out the word
‘Democrat’, and scratch out the
word ‘Socialist’, and let the two
platforms lie there.”
“Now I am going to let you in on
something else. How do you sup
pose all this happened? Here is the
way it happened. The young Brain
Trusters caught the Socialists in
swimming and they ran away with,
their clothes.”
“Now what is worryng me, where
does that leave me as a Democrat?
My mind is na wfixed upon the
Convention. The Committee on res
olutions is about to report, and the
preamble to the platform applauds
everything. -

“In fact, one brock has 80,000 miles on it, and the
only replacement has been a new jet in the carburetor.
That’s economical maintenance you just can’t beat!
