Recording by Mary Schneider An American Idol The Life of Carlton H Parker by Cornelia Stratton Parker Section zero Preface It was a year ago today that Carl Parker died, march seventeenth, nineteen eighteen. His fortieth birthday would have come on march thirty first. His friends, his students, were free to pay their tribute to him, both in the press and in letters which I treasure. I alone of all, I who knew him best and loved him most, had no way to give some outlet to my soul, could see no chance to pay my soul. of my tribute. One and another have written of what was and will be his valuable service to economic thought and progress, of the effects of his mediation of labor disputes in the Northwest and throughout the nation, and of his inestimable qualities as friend, comrade, and teacher.
He gave us as federal mediator, so runs one estimate of him, quote, all his unparalleled knowledge and understanding of labor and its point of view. That knowledge, that understanding he gained not by academic investigation, but by working in mines and woods, in shops, and on farms. He had the trust and confidence of both sides in disputes between labor and capital. His services were called in whenever trouble was brewing. Thanks to him, strikes were averted, war work of the most vital importance, threatened by misunderstandings and smouldering discontent, went on. End quote. But almost every one who has written for publication has told of but one side of him, and there were such countless sides. Would it then be out of place if I, his wife, could write of all of him, even to the manner of husband he was?
I have hesitated for some months to do this. He had not yet made so truly national a name, perhaps, as to warrant any assumption that such a work would be acceptable. Many of his close friends have asked me to do just this, however, for they realize as I do so strongly, that his life was so big, so full, so potential, that even as the story of a man it would be worth the reading. And at the risk of sharing intimacies that should be kept in one's heart only, I longed to have the world know something of the life we led together. An old friend wrote Dear splendid Carl, the very embodiment of life, energized and joyful to a degree I have never known, and the thought of the separation of you two makes me turn cold.
The world can never be the same to me with Carl out of it. I loved his high spirit, his helpfulness, his humor, his adoration of you. Knowing you and Carl and seeing your life together were has been one of the most perfect things in my life. End quote. An eastern professor who had visited at our home from time to time wrote You have lost one of the finest husbands I have ever known. Ever since I have known the Parker family, I have considered their home life as ideal. I had hoped that the two few hours I spent in your home might be multiplied many times in coming years. I have never known a man more in love with a woman than Carl was with you. End quote. So I write of him for these reasons, because I must, to ease my own pent up feelings, because his life was so well worth writing about, because so many friends have sent word to me.
