Will II. Hays, chairman of the re
publican state committee of Indi-
ana, believes il is a patriotic duty of
every young man TO take a practical
part in the politics OF the nation.
Mr.. Hays himself is a young man.
He has written his ideas on this
subject In the following exclusive
article for The News-Times.
BY Will III. Hays.
To the young men of America 1
appeal for a larger interest in the
politics of the country.
The young men of today are the
burden bearers of tomorrow. on the
shoulders Of the young voters will
very soon rest governmental prob
lens measured only by the vastness
OF the country's future.
These difficulties must be met.
This evolution is inevitable.
Young men are trained to enter,
and entering. strive TO increase their
proficiency in the professions, their
ability as artisans and their success
in business.
Yet in all their multiplex activi-
ties, in all their efforts really TO be
and do, many young men neglect the
one prime duty and privilege of their
sovereign citizenship. the richest
heritage TO which they are born and
the one real basic responsibility Of
their entire temporal welfare.
This is TO qualify to understand
the governmental affairs OF our state
and nation. and, qualified, then 10
participate therein with an increas-
ing interest and thoroughness as our
knowledge broadens and our expert
ence deepens.
Upon the wise solution Of these
problems and the successful ad-
ministration OF these affairs rests the
ultimate contamination OF all our
hopes and aspirations-aH contin-
ent upon the preservation in its full
ness Of this glorious liberty which is
now ours and which was obtained at

appeal. Become interested in poll

Compost is one Of the quickest
