COMMENT


The Evening World has commended that WOOD
row wilson Is the logical man for the Democratic
presidential nominee. We admit having little
prejudice in his favor because of his Virginia
birth 1t would he immensely gratifying to see
the mother of presidents more figuring In
the White House. Mr.. Wilson's good fortune in
pelng a Ntrginian. however, is not all that APP
peals TO us by any means. II that were all he
had We would not consider him for a moment
We want for President good strong man, no
matter where he Is from. whether from Name
virginia, Louisiana California. The question
that should be uppermost In the mind of every
citizen Is which of the aspirants measures up to
highest standards. An honest answer leads In
evitaby to Mr.. Wilson, He has all the admira-
bic qualities of the others and he possesses what
they do hot rossess-a freedom from profession
aiism In politics. The older the world grows
the more 1t becomes suspicious of the man who
devotes his life to hunting Office 1t wants the
independence of thought and perfect freedom
from doubtful compromise. We all know that
professionalism in politics is hostile to frank
ness, and apt to lead individual into ways
ri insincerty and dupcity. Until he was elected
governor Woodrow Wilson did not dream of en-
terIng the political arena, and therefore the
principles for which he stands born of truth
ana not borrowed from the crowd For his ut
terances on great issues he has not felt the pop
ular pulse. They have come from his heart and
mind, born of sincere conviction. and We cab
feel In trusting him with presidential power
that We shall have real eader-Roanoke Even

Day after day they are racked with

Resigns Post-OAfice Position.

Walter Key, ireman-laborer in the
local post-office, Monday morning
sent in his resignation to the super
vising architect at Washington, D. G.
although Mr.. Keys resignation came
very sudden it was not unexpected
in-as-much as he had entertained the
thought of quitting the services OF
Uncle Sam ever since last March
when he, as he claims, was treated
unfair by representative of the de-
partment who was sent here to investi-
gate some complaints. These COM
plants had been made by several
employees in the local post Office for
whom Mr.. Key evidently acted as
spokesman. The supervising architect
states in his letter to Mr.. Key, dated
March it'll, that the statements are
proven unfounded and that he Key
seemen to be the disturbing element
at the building" Mr.. Key states he
had intended to resign Immediately
on the receipt of the letter from Wash
ington shut withheld same as he
thought the new postmaster would
have better system and that things
would go more smoothly. In this,
however, he seems to have been dis
appointed and when told to do work
which, as he claims, does not belong
to his routine, as for instance collect
ing the mails for private concerns, he
forthwith resigned. Mr.. Key has left
for Courtland where he has taken up
his profession as machinist. What
ever the cause OF this particular
trouble may have been, one thing is
sure that it ought to be an easy matter
for the public servants in Washing
ton as we'll as for the ones in New Ulm-
to move on smoothly and harmonious
ly because the civil service hangs over
both and the regulations for the
employees, no doubt, are plain and
specific in defining the duties OF each.
