We haven't heard anything from
Rich Hill by way OF keeping her
promises to the people of Bates
county TO get up the required petition
TO have an election called to move
the county seat to the town. When
the Adrian Journal called attention
to this oversight of that town, the
Tribune answered with abuse. Our
people credited Rich Hill people with
a sincere desire for this prize and an
honest belief that they could obtain
it, when they fought the proposition
to build a court house at Butler The
field is now open and if they fail to
make the effort. We will be forced to
the conclusion that other motives
prompted their opposition. We hope
it is not another case of the dog i'll

THE YOUNG NAN IN POLITICS.

Many young men throughout the length
and breadth of this land are now debating
with themselves the question as to whether
or not they will go into politics. There is
a demand for young men in politics and
the tempta tons are great In this coun-
try, where there is no aristocracy and
where every citizen is sovereign, it is
not necessary that a young man be OF
noble birth or that he have great riches
in order to hold office If he has a bright
mind and popular manners and a certain
shrewdness the way is wide open to him
and he may go on from one office to an
other until he REACHES the top Of the lad
der.
There is to most men fascination about
politics that is almost irresistible. We re-
member to have heard a prominent Vir-
ginia politician say that the man who had
ever stood before political audience and
heard the music OF popular applause never
got over the desire to hear that music
again and again. Moreover, politics is
game in which many of the elements Of
gambling enter and as most men are gamb-
offensively-it is not surprising that they
should love to play the game Of politics.
In this country the political field we say.
is a broad field and there is no Chinese
wall around it. It is open to all and any
young man is free to enter and play.
1t is a public duty for every man to
take an interest in politics, local, State and
national. The trouble is that many good
citizens do not take any part IN the poll
teal affairs of their section, but leave 1t
all to the professionals and so it comes to
pass that the Government falls into the
hands Of political rings. SO called. Every
good citizen should attend political meet
ings and nominating conventions and
try to have the best men nominated, and
then they should go to the polls and vote
for the best candidates. But there is a
difference between taking an interest in
politics and being a politician. Shall a
Young man be a politician, which means
shall a young man seek office? That IS
the question under review. That is the
question which, as We have said, many
Young men of this country are to-day
a asking themselves To be more exact,
shall a young man make politics his pro-
fession? We shall not volunteer any ad-
vice, but we say that it is dangerous
career and we do not believe that the
game is worth the candle. To be a pro-
fessional politician man mist be more
or less: a, demagogue. A professional
