A MONDAY BROOKLYN TIMES UNION FEBRUARY 18. 1935 WILL END WHEN A DERBY WINNER'S COLTS INHERIT THE ANNUAL PURSE -By ROBERT Years ago the kings of England, being none to sure of keeping either their crowns or their heads, bought support and paid for loyalty by gifts of land and titles. Thus a few families acquired the greater part of England and became a privileged class. As all privileged classes do, they made rules to sanctify and perpetuate their advantage. The property was inherited by the eldest son and so entailed that no future half-wit could be deprived of it by abler men.

As a result of this scheme, a few people in each generation were born with a monopoly of wealth, culture, freedom, social standing and power and the millions were forced to compete for the lean pickings that were left. This arrangement, common to all "civilized" lands, seemed unfair and unreasonable to those who were cheated it. And when they learned about the new land across the by where all men were free and equal, those who hated ocean, tyranny and injustice pulled up stakes and migrated. For a little while the new land fulfilled its promise. of virgin soil and virgin forests to be There were empires had merely by robbing the Indians.

Competition was and each man could take according to his wit free and open and strength. But those who took and kept had children and these had children in turn.

This was such a common occurrence that people said: "Only three from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves." generations But shrewd men thought up a way to defeat the natural Fortunes were tied up in a trust, so they couldn't process. be lost. Thereafter the great fortunes became greater with each generation; money accumulated faster than heirs could and the reinvestment of earnings began to absorb spend it the whole wealth of the nation. Is there equal opportunity now for each new generation? Yes, equal opportunity to compete for what is left.

Let the best man win. That is fair. OBITUARIES EUPHENIA SAILL, native of Staten Island, died Saturday. Widow of James Saill, she leaves three children, Ralph, Euphonia and Viola; three sisters, Mrs. W.

Ge- Church where a solemn requiem AFTER sitting for more than two hours the other night in a hall in lower Queens and watching James C. Sheridan face what he thought was going to be a hostile audience, and by the logic of his words, the witchery of. address and the sheer force of his personal appeal, convert it into a roaring crowd of sympathizers which all but carried him out on its shoulders when he left the place, I think I begin to see why he is leader of Queens and will continue to be for some time. Sheridan is magnetic. He has personality plus as speaker, He has a stage presence.

He knows his subject and understands how to present it. He has a grasp of things other than patronage. He has sympathy. He can appeal to local pride. Whether consciously or otherwise, he has all the tricks of the trained orator- -such as Mark Antony possessed when he spoke over the body of Caesar: as Cicero had when he assailed Catiline; or Demosthenes displayed when he sought to oppose the onslaughts of Philip of Macedon.

He went to a hall at which, in effect, he had been challenged to appear by the insurrectionary ecutive of a zone in the Fourth A. D. It- had been intimated that he was "to be put on the spot," that he would be asked to answer a long list of questions and to reply to a resolution denouncing him for hav. ing ignored that territory in the distribution of patronage and "for failing to consult the elected leader of the zone." The hall was jammed, there being close to 400 men and women who were wrought to a high pitch of excitement by statements in the local press. There was delay in fact a protracted delay--in the leader's appearance.

The chairman stood looking at his watch and rapping idly with the gavel as the audience moved uneasily in its seats and began to murmur, A grin spread over the chairman's face. "We have given the leader he said. "It is now far past the hour. It he does rot appear I shall recognize the gentleman on the right, who has a resolution to present- He did not conclude. "Sheridan dramatically appeared.

He strode to the stage. He had been with the Governor in Albany--fighting to secure bigger things than to win larger representation for Queens in State and national hall of legislation. He had been championing reapportionment. Sheridan had ridder: all afternoon to get to the meeting he was now addressing. He the audience his talk.

He swept the crowd off its feet. It cheered his every sentence. It sided with him against the rebel leader. When he stepped down from the stage, as I said before, the whole audience, practically, left the hall with him and stood cheering in the street as his car rolled away like the chariot of a conqueror. SHERIDAN IN ACTION I WENT, really thir.

king to behold a spectacle. To see a man thrown to the lions, as in the arenas of old. I felt a bit squeamish when the hours approached and he failed to show up. I didn't know about his trip to Albany or what was keeping him away. I had never seen Sheridan In action.

I whether he could talk or holde, crowd. I imagined him the ordinary run-of-the-mill type of political leaders. I thought to myself, "He has suddenly gotten cold feet and fears to face this crowd." The broad smile on the face of the belligerent man in chairwhich said plainly, "See, I told you he was a quitter and wouldn't be here' -heightened this feeling. And then he strode into the hall- and I saw the belligerent's 100k change suddenly to one of dismay, There was nothing timid or halting in Sheridan's manner. I have learned since that he is an accomplished sepaker as well as a cultured student and crafty diplomat.

He was years ago chairman of the speakers bureau of the Democratic organization in Queens and through the years he has spoken to audiences in every section of the county. In a word, he knows his county from one end to other- from Flushing Bay on the north shore to the ocean front of the Rockaways on the He was thoroughly at home with this audience gathered in the K. of C. hall in Springfield. He touched the pride of his listeners by telling how he had spoken in that section often in the past.

Long before the newcomer assailing him had even heard of Queens or thought he might live there. His constant, clever references won ripples of applause at the beginning. His dignified tone, changing to be impassioned appeal as he went on, drew more enthusiastic shouts and as he proceeded, describing his interview with the Governor and telling of the great battle for reapportionment, he swept the audience with him until finally it WAS a Sheridan meeting until the end. I sat hypnotized at the transformation in the crowd. I was also so fascinated in a way by the palpable change rapidly taking place in the chairman.

He sought to stem the rising tide of pro-Sheridan sentiment. It was not what he had planned or expected. His followers sought to read the questions that were "to have placed Jim on the spot." They were read, but it seemed in a halting manner. The audience shouted many of them down. The anti-Sheridan bomb proved to be a dud, NEW LEADER TYPE STUDYING Sheridan there on and the stage as he stood smiling confident, ready to answer any charge, I saw an altogether new type of leader.

A man perhaps in his late 305. A man in the full vigor of his faculties sensoned, physically strong, intellectually alert and He has a shock of thick, reddishpsychologically perfect. brown hair- -the color or that denotes the belligerent Irish temperament. His features are full, his eyes determined and his mouth snaps shut in the grim, fighting mould when, as often, makes an impressive point. He can sink his voice as occasion requires, It 18 not a monotone or harsh, but.

well modulated, sometimes melodious, and always timed to let the ideas sink in between pauses. He has few gestures. He sways his body as he stands with one hand on the speaker's table and he leans now and then over the footlights to look into the faces of his auditors. He glances all over the house and gives the impression of seeing and knowing everyone seated within its walls. He is thoroughly ease when speaking and never at a loss for just the right word or what to say and when to say it.

He was so refreshingly different from what the audience expected or many of them had been to that he caught the popular fancy and become the idol of the moment, As I looked on at all this I said' to myself: "Here is no dumbbell leader who will be satisfied to sit in a headquarters miles away and depend solely upon patronage to hold down his power. "This man is moving about the county meeting the men and women- -the enrolled voters of the zones face to face. He is selling himself. to them as a first class drive leader sells his ideas in campaign. "He is putting his program across by direct contact." It is a new method of leadership.

Generally men raised to power hide away and make themselves scarce sought after, exclusive, hard to reach. Sheridan is reversing this plan. He is going out to meet the crowds. And judging by the way I saw him perform the other evening he will win his way with the rank and file wherever he goes. THE BUSY SEASON I SUPPOSE I owe apologies to number of organizations from which I received invitations to appear last Friday night.

Four were speaking engagements and the others were bids to attend banquets and annual balls. I made three of these but it was close to 1 A. M. when I headed for the fourth. The others, much to my regret, had to gO by board.

This is the busy seasor: for an4 nual receptions, installations, elections and festivities in advance of Lent. I am heavily booked until the middle of next month--or rather to and including March 16, when. ns I look over the engagement diary. there seems to be a flood of invi tations for St. Patrick's night, celebrated this year a day in advance.

Since Election Night last November, I have been speaking on the average once a night every night in the week. Sometimes it has been two and three meetirgs a night. I would like much to be able to go to all the affairs to which I am invited, but my good friends who read this column and who do me the honor to invite me can easily see that it is physically impossible for me to make them all. However, I am glad to hear from the boys and girls and even if I do not get around to an appearance there will be word of some sort about it in the column. I meet many of friends at these gatherings and make new ones.

am constantly a approached by groups which grow in numbers, whose members tell me they came especially to see and hear "the man who writes the column." I am surprised and delighted at the increasir.g strength of these readers- -persons who pop up when I least expect it, who crowd to the stage after a meeting or linger at the door to have a word and tell me "what they like best" about the topics discussed here, It is a healthy, happy familyand I want you all to be satisfied. If seem at times to neglect, don't feel badly about it. We shall get around to it finally. And, anyhow. the mails are always working and the columr: is open to any reader who has anything interesting to discuss or who seeks an answer to some question of general interest.
