IN THE last issue Of the Saturday Evening Post, Sam
uel G. Blythe has Illuminating article on the pol
iica situation in which he depicts the folly OF letting the
politicians name the next president Of the United states
ard urges the people to assert their rights and force the
election of such Of demonstrated capacity as
Herbert Hoover.
There Is no essential difference declares Blythe, be-
tween the Republican party bossed by the "od guard
and the Democratic party ruled by the "od gang Each
engaged in seeking control Of the government Tor the
spoisand It is criminal folly for the people to permit
the political machines to proceed in exactly the same man
ner they have proceeded for years in picking candidates
and both machines at work to produce the old pro-
ducts entirely political entirely partisan, entirely ar
chaic" working for partisan and personal aims rather
than the future Of the republic
"The two parties" says Mr. Blythe, so far as fun
damenta policies 60 have ceased to be deneave of any
wide divergence in political and national feeling. The
country has progressed but the two old parties have
stood still until the names Of them merely ornate sign
boards on empty houses The Old Guard and Old Gang
continue to try To herd their sections Of the public under
the old banners and rails them with the old battle cries
They insist that the shadow Of the present the substance
Of the past"
DO the people intend to stand by and let the politicians
select for them Of their obsolete and partisan
stripe for candidates take what is handed to them and
conde the future to hack Of organizations without
ability to comprehend the task the vision to furth
than narrow partisanshp? If not they should begin
at once to assert themselves by insisting upon the nomin
aon OF the right kind Of man-preferaby business
man WIN capacity 70 blhg ofaef out OF our caotc con-
ditions.
We are business people, our national fabric bust
fabric the problems Of reconstruction business
problemstherefore the proper candidate is business
man-not professional office holder not wind JAM
ming politician not political soldier but business man
Of proven capacity and world land popular demand
can force the nomination Of such man. BY one or both
parties regardless Of politics.
Mr. Blythe suggests Hoover Sproule of Pennsylvania
and Dawes Of Illinois possibly filling the bl--wtt
preference for Hoover the only national and ntena
tonal figure Of whom he says

FRIEND.
This comes from a plain ordinary
everyday fellow who is attending
school several nights a week in an
endeavor to better a limited educa-
tion. and who, like most people in
trouble, is seeking advice.
About eighteen months ago be-
came acquainted with a young lady
whom / found to be in about the
same position in life as myself and
to whom I became somewhat at
tached. I had known her but three
weeks when / was told that she
cared more for me than anyone she
had met, and from actions I inferred
that she did not care for me to go
about with anyone else. AS l
thought 1t would please her, and
since IL was entirely in accordance
with my feelings. 1 gave up all my
girl friends and devoted every spare
moment to her. and have continued
to do so ever since, even though 1
have not at times been recipient OF
similar treatment.
Our friendship grew and for a
considerable period we have been
engaged. Upon this happening
had hoped to learn a great deal
more of her ideas Of life, and also
looked for a change in her actions
toward me, and expected her to
confide In me in certain respects.
These hopes have all faded and
never DO hear a word of her ideas
At times l long for a good sensi-
BILE conversation with some one re-
gardless of the subject, but she
does not care to talk about any
thing and seems entirely disinter-
ested in current events and the
lfke. or course understand that
everyone Is not a talker and that
some OF us must be listeners, but
when one refuses to talk and then
interrupts and rails st one who.
