Tt wilt be recalled how Jimmy, in the carly days of his father's occupancy of the White House, suddenly
became an important factor in the writing of insurance, something new to him. Of course, it was only a co-
' incidence that Jimmy’s company got some of the highly profitable insurance business coming from folks who
| had big, juicy government contracts for this and that wherein it was desirable to have the good will of the Royal
| family, especially the Royal Mamma who at times stayed at the White House with the Royal Papa. Not long
after this strange looking deal was given publicity, Jimmy was made a Colonel so as to act as a physical aide
I, to his ailing father. When it became necessary for Jimmy to be absent from his busy desk in the insurance
company, so the news stories told a wondering public, Mamma looked after his interests because the revenue thus
gained was not hay. Then followed Jimmy's daring exploits in the South Seas which gained for him special
citations for bravery, or something which has never been made clear.

oi soap called “Sweetheart” that would make clean even the skin of someone engaged in dirty politics. Now
| Mamma was a traveler of renown. The fact that her husband was sick in mind and body and constantly needed
| the care of those about him, did not deter her from flitting around, attending parlor-pink and red meetings
which she dignified by her presence as America’s first lady. She became greatly interested in race equality and
| used her influence to mix negroes in with whites, much like raisins stirred into an angel food cake. She grew
| bolder daily, finally reaching the point where she was passing out opinions having to do with administration
policies. Next followed the publication of “My Day”, a syndicated newspaper column which netted a pretty
| penny as she told the anxiously waiting world what she had done and where she was as she used greatly needed
\ transportation space, hopping from place to place, the self-appointed and well-paid representative of American
womanhood. This she continued as her failing husband limped alone toward the grave, finally passing away
with her and ali the others of his immediate family far from his side.

down by experts qualified to pass on it, was a practice not entirely new to the family for it will be recalled that
when his mother christened a ship built by Henry#Kaiser at Vancouver, Washington, according to newspaper
stories published that day and never disputed, she wore a corsage which Henry gave her, made up of over
seven hundred dollars worth of War Savings Stamps. Just 2 little something from the Kaiser family, that was

The administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt will go down in history as one of the darkest pages of
human progress. His utter disregard for the truth and the unprincipled methods he employed in remaining in
office saw him stoop to practices of arch hypocrisy, since exposed by his intimate associates, that passed far
beyond honesty, even after making allowance for the latitude ordinarily granted in politics. He clasped to his
bosom all the riff-raff of the nation and installed in important public offices both men and women whom he
could not help but know were unalterably opposed to our form of government and were surreptitiously planted
at vantage points to help bring about its ruination. While carping about race and creed inequality, as a theme
song to bring the unthinking masses to his support, he and his wife actually did more to promote creed and
| race strife than was ever done before in the history of our country of will ever be in the future. The evils of
| this one specific heritage from Roosevelt's administration alone will remain to curse and bedevil generations to
come. The seeds of such philosophy were purposely planted in foreign lands where they will grow and some. /
