The President of the United States,
RECEIVED
The White House,
Washington, D. C.
My dear President Roosevelt:-
Would you please accept the enclosed
picture of Andrew Jackson, who is some times referred to, as the
Daddy of Democracy. This was made from a daguerreotype from an
original painting by Alonzo Chappel about 1861.
Said picture has been in my family
many many years and would part with same only to a very dear
friend, or some one I hold in greet esteem, and that person is
you, President Roosevelt.
The local Press has carried many a
story about the Andrew Jackson dinner and that prompted me to
take the liberty of presenting you with this picture which is
77 years old. I hope you will like it.
I am a District Government employee.
Yours very truly,

With pleasure, I hand you a gift
for your birthday - something I think will appeal
especially to you. It is a photograph of Warm
Springs, Georgia, taken, I am informed by Mrs. McCauley,
when we were on our honeymoon, in September, 1911.
The negative has been lost but by some strange co-
incidence the small print from which this enlargement
was made - only this week - has remained unimpaired
during that time after being shunted here and there
during twenty-seven years of moving about.
Wishing you many more years of continued
happiness, I am

The publisher has shortened the article and plan, but
this contains the gist. Since all voluntary plans for peace between
the nations in theopast have failed, this plan is urged as the only
remaining logical, practical and permanent alternative. And consider
the billions of dollars it would save which is now being wasted in
a futile effort! And now is the time to strike for the inaguration
of this plan, while most of the world is in confusion, and willing
to listen.

Challenge to Democracy.
But here is the challenge to our democracy: In this nation I see
tens of millions of its citizens a substantial part of its whole
population who at this very moment are denied the greater part of
what the very lowest standards of today call the necessities of life.
I see millions of families trying to live on incomes so meagre
that the pall of family disaster hangs over them day by day.
I see millions whose daily lives in city and on farm continue under
conditions labelled indecent by a so-called polite society half a century
ago.
I see millions denied education, recreation, and the opportunity to
better their lot and the lot of their children.
I see millions lacking the means to buy the products of farm and
millions. factory and by their poverty denying work and productiveness to many other
I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.
It 1s not in despair that I paint you that picture. I paint it for
you in hope - because the nation, seeing and understanding the injustice
init, proposes to paint it out. We are determined to make every American
citizen the subject of his country's interest and concern; and we will
never regard any faithful law-abiding group within our borders as super-
fluous. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the
abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provile enough for
those who have too little.
If I know aught of the spirit and purpose of our nation, we will
not listen to comfort, opportunism and timidity. We will carry on.
Overwhelmingly, we of the republic are men and women of good will
men and women who have more than warm hearts of dedication - men and
women who have cool heads and willing hands of practical purpose as well.
They will insist that every agency of popular government use effective
instruments to carry out their will.
Government is competent when all who compose it work as trustees for
the whole people. It can make constant progress when it keeps abreast
of all the facts. It can obtain justified support and legitimate critic-
ism when the people receive true information of all that government does.
If I know aught of the will of our people, they will demand that
these conditions of effective government shell be created and maintained.
They will demand 8. nation uncorrupted by cancers of injustice and, there-
fore, strong among the nations in its ecample of the will to peace.
Today we reconsecrate our country to long cherished ideals in a
suddenly changed civilization. In every land there are always at work
forces that drive men apart and forces that draw men together. In our
personal ambitions we are individualists, But in our seeking for economic
as one people.
and political progress as a nation, we all @ up - or else we all go down -
in dealing with different methods, a vast smount of humility, But out of
To maintain a democracy of effort requires a vast amount of patience
the confusion of many voices rises en understandine of dominent public
need. Then political leadership can voice common ideals, and aid in
their realization.
In taking again the oath of office as president of the United States,
I assume the solemn obligation of leading the American people forward along
the road over which they have chosen to advance.
While this duty rests upon me I shall do my utmost to speak their
purpose and to do their will, seeking divine guidance to help us each and
every one to give light to them that sit in darkness and to guide our
feet into the way of peace.

many other millions. I see one-third of the nation ill-housed, 111-
clad, ill-nourished.
"It is not in despair that I paint you that picture. I paint
it for you in hope, because the nation seeing and understanding the
injustice of it, proposes to paint it out --- The test of our pro-
gress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have
much. It is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
Throughout the address ran a central home - the President's
contention that the processes of democracy are capable of meeting
and conquering the nation's social problems; that the Constitution,
as it stands, provides a power of government increasing as the
intracacies of human relationships increase."
Contrary to precedent, Vice-President Garner received the oath
of office as part of the ceremony of inaugurating the President.
Senator Robinson of Arkensaw, the Democratic leader, recmited the
oath of office to him and he responded with a drawled and resounding
"I
do."
na President Roosevelt stepped forward on the arm of his son and
secretary, James Roosevelt. He was met at the front of the scantily-
covered inaugural platform by Chief Justice Hughes, gowned in the
robes of his office. Hughes recited the oath while the President
listened, his right hand upraised.
As he did four years ago, Mr. Roosevelt repeated the oath in
full after him. His head bobbing with the rhythm of his
phrases, he weighed every word with obvious care and raised his voice
perceptibly at the pledge to "support and defend the Constitution.
The word "defend" he accented heavily.

A warning followed:
"To hold to progress today, however, is more difficult. Dulled
conscience, iresponsibility and ruthless self-interest already re-
apper. Such symptoms of properity may become portents of disaster;
prosperity already tests the persistence of our progressive purpose."
And in conclusion:
"In taking again the oath of office as President of the United
States, I assume the solemn obligation of leading the American people
forward along the road over which they have chosen to advance.
"While this duty rests upon me I shall do my utmost to speak
their purpose and to do their will, seeking divine guidance to help
us each and every one to give light to them that sit in darkness and
to guide our feet into the way of peace."
In the spirit of the closing phrases of his address, the
President's day began. With members of his family, Vice President
Garner and his cabinet officers, the chief executive first of all
proceeded to St.John's Church, tiny and ancient, B. block from the
White House.
There were private devotions and special prayers for his
guidance, led by the President's old schoolmaster, the Rev.Endicott
Peabody of Groton, Conn.

Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President of the United States,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President:
gueint
Having heard you announce that the door of the White House
is open to anyone who has an idea that would help along a new
deal for the people of our country (and perhaps the whole world),
and taking forgranted that such an invitation also applies to
your mail-box, for the reception and consideration of a suggestion
Inno
made in writing, I venture this missive.
It may be that I have been one of your most severe critics,
after having looked forward to your first election, as president,
for the attainment of a new deal for all those who seek to be
righteous, but I have notived, according to newspaper reports,
that another new deal is being considered and so I again enter-
tain some hope that a new deal will be revealed that will satisfy
the masses. Perhaps you can use some suggestions from my book,
"The Gift of Grandeur," copy of which I forward under separate
cover. You may regard it as a birthday gift, if it pleases you
to do SO. I have the idea, and have had it for several years,
that the best new deal of all is one that takes into consider-
ation, not only the living, but also those, now supposedly dead,
who sought to merit the heavenly life, - and where is there a place
that should be more prepared as heaven (or the first one) than
this earth itself? "Thy kingdom come" applied to the earth, as
it is in heaven.
With a view to aiding a new deal, I have, as you will note
in my book, assumed the role of the one who takes and punishes
the sinners, and I give some authority for assuming such a role.
No one who seeks to avoid sin need fear the Old Serpent, and co-
operation might help rid the earth of sin and sinners. Sinners
have had enough time to mend their ways.
So, for a new deal, why not plan for a heaven on earth?
Any other new deal is only a temporary remedy. A new deal for
such infants as are born with infantile paralysis requires a
study of sex problèms, and, after all, perhaps such plague and
other ills, as well as the need for a new deal, were inflicted
on mankind on account of sexual and other sins.

As for my book, please read it in the right light, if you
find it of interest. I am not satanically satirical for no good
reason at all. Sooner or later all sinners will bremble. Perhaps,
to go farther, there would be no sinners if mankind knew what sin
led to. It may be worse than the way of the cross or being cruc-
ified. Moreover, I did not criticise, without cause, the idol of
Christians, and, in criticising the head of one great Christian
Church, in such book, I referred to the titles that he was given,
and not to his pleasing personálity or to his efforts to do good.
No one should be called Holy Father who is not God himself.
Reminded of Proverbs 3:27, I offer my hand for whatever good
I may be able to do, and I hope to add to your birthday annivers-
ary joys, and to the joys of all afflicted with infantile paraly-
sis, or any other ailments, who seek the paths of righteousness.
No man was ever made to sin, nor did anyone ever have a monopoly
on will-power.
Yours very truly,
Momor Shiller
