SPEED IN REFORMS
CONSIDERED TO BE DANGEROUS “Patience is the first virtue of a democracy,” said Mr William Allen White, the American editor and philosopher, in a recent interview. ‘The liberal fight of the past generaion has been well worth making. We gained a lot between the two Roosevelts. We went just as fast as the :ountry would go with us. Speed in reform is dangerous. Look at prohibi:icn! My feeling is that the liberal ieed not break his heart, no matter ■/hat happens to President Roosevelt. .Ie has done a fine job. The pitcher has ;one to the well once too orten. if his vork is done—well, it’s done, and Well lone! But tomorrow is another day, ind another fight is waiting and new leaders will apchr. The biologists tell is that there arc plenty of good fish a the sea.”
