LEADERS OUT OF POLITICS.

a southern paper, polnItE 20 Az
disappearance from the public life at its
section OF great political leaders hrses
young Southerners to fit themselves FOR
politics and bring back the good old
days when the South could speak by

length and breadth of the Union. II
asks why the men who might lead are
unwilling to do so; why they are CON
tent to live in an era OF small politics
when issues may arise to summon
Calhoun to the Senate and jackson
to the Presidency?
These questions are often asked not
in or Of the South alone. but the an

ators come and go, their dreams or
greatness soon shattered, their names
soon forgotten: Presidents in the zenith

the great captains of industry are al
ways in the saddle, winning victories
and keeping in the public eye. Proba-
bly, no greater American has lived In
recent years than the late G. p. Hunt
ington. He would have made one OF
the strongest of public leaders if he
had gone into politics rather than busi-

gnawed the file of disappointment with
Grant or met the misfortunes of Blaine
and Conkling. He chose life which
