By DAMON RUNYAN
No ane ever Sein to think of the terrible mental strain under which
Mr. Roosevelt must be laboring. No one ever seems to think of the sleep-
less nights and the disturbing visions that must be his. We read more
| words of criticism than of sympathy for him, though it seems to us that
he should have the deepest sympathy. You might judge from some of
the comment that his erities think he is enjoying himself, when the truth
the matier is he is probably one of the saddest of men
Mr. Roosevelt is esh and blood and heart and soul. He is one of the
great humanitarian: story. He will be 50 rated in the years 0 come
It is inconceivable dk a man of his mould would not have tremendous
feeling in this hour, one of the most critical ever faced by a Chief Execu-
tive of the United State It Is our guess that he prays nightly that God
give him guidance In the decisions he must make and which will affect
130.000 000 Americans
‘His Heart Must Be As Heavy As Lead’
Roosevelt is normally a folksy sort of man,
to fine living, and Lo social position. He is a man who likes to
laugh, =50 enjoys a good who dabbles In stamps and ship models as
hobby, who finds pleasure in putting on old clothes, and going fishing, and
who smokes cigareites by the dozens, and gives his pals odd nicknames
and who loves to see those around him happy and contented.
He is still able to turn his familiar reassuring snd warming smile on
his people on occasion, but within him his heart must be as heavy as lead
It is human nature that a normal man could contemplate the dismal
prospects of the days ahead without foreboding and sorrow, and Mr
Roosevelt is one of the most complete human documents the world has ever
known. If the fellow in the street feels depressed, how must Mr. Roosevelt
feel?

He knows the horror of war, He has seen the devastated

Most Trying Position Of Any Man Alive’
love time and again. I'm return the people have
) stinction ever bestowed upon a man in the his-
{ the Republic. What a wicked thing it is to say that a kindly man
like Mr. Roosevelt would want to sacrifice the lives of these people in war
ink that anyone who beileves that Mr. Roosevelt would wantonly be-
ay the confidence of the people Is 8 fool, but too many forget that this
confidence imposes upon him certain responsibilities, first and foremost of
which is the preservation of our free life
And with this threstened, as it is. Mr. Roosevelt would be derelict in
“the bath he took in the name of Kis Biker to defend the Cormtitution of
the United States, did he not lake steps 10 avert the threat wherever
those steps might lead. He would stand before the bar of history as an
incompetent and a traitor to the American ideals and to humand That
is why today he occupies the most trying position of any man alive, prob-
torn by conflicting emotions and his days darkened by dread. It is
his critics cannot see that this greatest of human beings must

‘String With Champion Until He Loses One’
Well. we are going to have a little bet on Mr. Roosevelt to win the war
for Britain without gelling us involved in actual hostilities. We admit
that this looks like a hard trick 10 perform but we have seen him accomp-
lish miracles before and this may be another. In any event we have
always found it a good idea to string with the champion until he loses one
It is said that from the White House he can see the majestic pile
raised to the memory of another man whose jife was made sorrowful by
the burdens placed upon him when he was President, and possibly, as he
views that tribute of a great people to one of its great leaders, Mr. Roose
