People and Politics

By: Solomon Bulkley Griffin

Excerpt from the Preface:"Do you think you have had a fortunate life?" asked my wife after we had been discussing the passing of a friend. Since I have no fellowship with troubled souls who waste time and force in introspection, the interrogation was disconcerting. But as thought came of the lines wherein my lot had been cast - of surroundings of boyhood, of the joy experienced in my own home, and in newspaper work long sustained; of the friends made, and of the city wherein I had lived and toiled; above all, of the interesting people with whom I had come in contact, and the public events observed at close range and often with intimate knowledge of them - as all these considerations passed in panoramic survey, there seemed to be but one reply to make to the challenging question.
