Urges Leaders to Absorb
Some of People’s Courage
in Talk to Graduates.
By the Associated Press.
ATTICA. Kan*., May 19.—Gov. All
M. Landon's credo for youth, enun
ciated in a prairie village and heard
by a national radio audience, cour
aeled 29 high school graduates today
to undertake their responsibilities
courageously and to beware of
"prophets preaching the doctrine of
despair.”
The Republican presidential pos
aibility made an unusual appearance
In an improvised amphitheater under
flood lights and before a crowd of farm
folk and neighbors numbering several
thousand. Landon explained that he
came because he had been asked by
an old friend whose son was among
those receiving diplomas.
Concluding with a round of hand
ihaking which required an hour, the
Kansas Governor began an overnight
trip which brought him this morning
to Emporia. Kans., for a visit with
William Allen White, the editor and
author, who is a delegate to the Re
publican national convention at Cleve
land.
Dwell!! on "Truisms.”
Prom a flower-banked rostrum of
rough-hewn timbers the Governor
dwelt on “truisms” he termed “part
of the gospel of human freedom," and
cautioned against "a tendency to over
throw the fundamental truths of life
that have been learned from long ex
perience.”
Landon emphasized “there is no
Substitute for courage,’* and warned
••there is still another kind of courage
that this generation will have to show.
I mean courage in facing the fact
that many difficult adjustments will
have to be made in the future.”
“Now the first victory for you to
Win.” he said, "the first victory for
all of us to win, Is to get back our
belief in our future, and in the future
of America.”
"I believe that one of the outstand
ing needs of this country is for our
leaders, both public and private, to
take unto themselves some of the
courage of the common people.
Despair “Sheer Nonsense.”
“There are too many prophets to
day preaching the doctrine of despair,"
he asserted. “One such gentleman
aven went so far as to aay. 'There are
millions of Americans now alive who
Will never again be self-supporting.”
“Such a doctrine might have a
grain of truth in it if we were living
In an old country whose resources
have been exhausted, but in a young
and rich country such as ours your
own horse sense will tell you that
auch a* doctrine is sheer nonsense.
“We want no lost generation in
America.” the Kansas Governor de
clared. emphasizing "now the first
victory for you to win, the victory for
all of us to win. is to get back our
belief in our future, and in the future
of America.”
"We must realize,” he said, “that
the old pioneer days, with their hard
ships and their opportunities for sud
den, overnight riches, have gone and
we must have courage to hunt for
and find the right way of making
Jthese adjustments.
Sees Finer America.
"When the present economic de
pression is over, we will never again
be quite the same America. We will
have a new and finer America. • * *
"One of your duties as an educated
Citizen,” landon said, “will be to keep
your minds open to the possible needs
for change in government, to meet
cur rapidly changing life. * * *
“You will meet the urgings of some
who would solve your difficulties by
Changing everything: of others whose
veneration for the past causes them
to be shocked at the thought of
changing anything. Change is only
dangerous when people do not really
understand what it is they are trying
to change.”
The Governor said "many persons
In this country too long forgot the
warning ‘that civic virtue can never
flourish in a generation that thinks
of itself.’ That warning stands as
true for your generation as it did for
the generation of recent years which
failed to heed it and got us into so
much trouble. * * * It will be your
task to see that blessings of our civi
lization are more widely distributed.”
Marvel* at Courage.
"To me, one of the inspiring things
Of recent years,” he said, "has been
the courage of the common people.
All of us have seen the life work of
men swept away and we have seen
them go doggedly back to the tasks
of building their lives over, and the
wonderment to me W not that we
have had so much complaint but that
we have had so little.
“I belive that one of the outstand
ing needs of this country is for our
leaders, both public and private, to
take unto themselves some of the
Courage of the common people.
Emphasizing “some essentials, es
sentials that some of us are inclined
to take too casually,” Landon ex
plained:
“I mean such things as: ‘There
k no substitue for courage,” ‘he is
ft man of principle,’ ‘his word is as
good as his bond,’ ‘men cannot live
by bread alone.’ • * • they are fund
amentally right and apply to every
feneration.”
Citing the “one great instance in
the old testament when the quitters
won out,” Landon said the Israelites
"became a lost generation,” because
the quittersl told them the promised
land was held by an “enemy too
gtrong to be overcome.”
• Have Will to Conquer.
“We want no wanderings in the
wilderness,” he said. “We have the
courage, the will, the enterprise and
the wisdom to overcome our difficul
ties. giants though they may be. • • *
"When the Israelites came again
Into the promised land, and the land

was being apportioned out, what did
Caleb ask for?
“He asked for the mountain country
where the giants were.
"That is the victorious spirit in
which our forefathers saw America
as another promised land, and that
is the spirit that will make it so
and keep it so.”
Gov. Landon said that "after every
depression the American people have
created higher levels of opportunity
and progress * * * America is still our
promised land if we have the quali
ties of heart and head to make it so.
“Such is the hope that is giving
millions of city people, now out of
work or on makeshift jobs, and mil
lions of men and women on our farms,
the courage and strength to hold on
through the lean and bitter years.”
The governor prefaced his address
with an explanation of why he came
to this Kansas village of less than
1.000 population to deliver the com
mencement address "because the son
of a life-long friend of mine is gradu
ating from high school.”
He referred to Ward Crowell, son
of George (Pat) Crowell, captain of
the undefeated Kansas foot ball eleven
of 1908. a classmate of Landon and
now athletic director of the Attica
High School.
Landon urged the students to de
velop “an even greater sense of re
sponsibility than your forebears,"
adding “perhaps the greatest responsi
bility you will have to face is that
of citizenship. And the youth move
ment In politics today Is like a breath
of fresh air in a stuffy, smelly room.
We must reform our ranks and go
forward.
“Do not forget that under a popu
lar government you have a choice
whether you will be among the gov
erning or the governed.”
