An Editorial

world-old antipathy of the weak for the strong, are ever at work.

There is both penalty and reward for leadership. The reward is wide-spread recognition from those who think straight. The punishment is fierce and malignant detraction and denial, and oft-times even persecution from those who do not.

As they say in the street, success is never all gravy.

"It is of eloquence as of a fame; it requires matter to feed it, motion to excite it, and*it brightens as it burns."-Tacitus.

Thus did Tacitus, one of the great names in the history of Greek philosophers, d*escribe what is called oratory.

The pages of literature from the beginning of history are freely illuminated with words of patriotic fervor that have been uttered by innumerable men who have sent their fine thoughts echoing down the corridors of time, to stir the blood of posterity. * * *

America has contributed liberally to the patriotic lists of inspired speakers, who have given mankind thoughts couched in masterful words. Starting, perhaps, with Patrick Henry and his "Give me liberty or give me death," volumes have been written about our great American orators.

Of course Lincoln's Gettysburg Address "leads all the rest" in showing what can be done with simple words when played and uttered b5r a master. *

Thinking men swell with pride at the knowledge that there lives today in England one of the greatest orators of all time, the mighty Churchill.

BY JACK DIONNE

The United States today is not blessed with many men of great patriotic eloquence. General Douglas MacArthur would probably draw a preponderance of votes if we were to elect our present best orator. Many of his public utterances rank with the finest in* our history.

Time was when almost every district in this country had men with silver tongues. Orators seem to come in groups. Daniel Webster was one of the mpst eloquent orators in our history. But in his own time there were many other men who could bring audiences to their feet by the great power of their words. Webster had to meet such men as Clay, Calhoun, and others as*oratorical rivals.

It would require pages to even try to list the names of really great orators this country has known in its time. Every American state has had citizens to whom it can point with pride as examples oj fin*e public speakers.

In the early days of world history, there were three men whose names became immortal, Demosthenes, Pericles, and Cicero, the first two Greek, the third Roman. Pericles it was who prayed to the gods before each public utterance tfiat he might "misuse no word and use no unnecessary word." Demosthenes was ttre thrilling, flag-waving type, such as was illustrated by William Jennings Bryan in this country. ***

The most thrilling public speaker this writer ever heard was a Texas Senator, the late Joseph Weldon Bailey. He was of the Periclean type of speakers, making every word count, and he grew more slow and deliberate as his force mounted. As an example of his oratory, we shall guote from a speech on patriotism that he once made to a convention of fumbermen. He said that he agreed with Lincoln that all the arnries of Europe could not by force set foot in the Adirondacks or drink from ttre waters of the Ohio, but, and herd we quote Bailey: * * t9t9

"If this nation ever dies, it will die from within and not from without. And I warn you that if this nation ever dies, there will be no resurrection morn; there will be no guardian angel to roll away the rock from our sepulchre door; there will be no Easter Morn for this republic." And in this fashion Joe Bailey "O*oO"*"r one having authority.

Of all the innumerable orators that he has heard. this writer names Joe Bailey as best, and General MacArthur as next. Bryan can not compare with these two.
