THOMPSON TO SEEK
NO ENDORSEMENT BY
POLITICAL PARTIES
Urges Compliance by Politicians
With Spirit Of Mo.Party
Ballot Law
WOULD RUN WITHOUT HELP
Says Injection Of Politics Into
School Issues Il Harm
full to State
WOULD RUN WITHOUT HELP

Arthur E. Thompson, superintendent
Of public instruction, said In q state
ment Friday he will seek reelection
without endorsement from any Of the
political conventions because he de-
sires to place this office on Q strictly
non-political basis, as the law clearly
contemplates."
He called attention to the fact that
the law provides candidates for the
office Of superintendent Of public In
struction must appear on no-party
ballot, declaring Il am hopeful that we
may get back to the spirit and letter
Of our state election laws"
His statement reads:
"Our state election laws provide that
candidates for the office Of superin-
tendent Of public instruction shall
be on a no-party ballot along with
members of the judiciary. The intent
OF this law is clear. It's trainers recog-
nized the truth that partisan politics
should not operate in the field Of edu-
cation nor In the administration Of
justice.
"For some years. however, the prac-
tice Of endorsing candidates for this
office In partisan political convention
has rather generally prevailed. How
ever, am aware that delegates to
these conventions have done SO re-
luctantly, and have justified their
action on the grounds that the other
or opposing conventions had done like
wise.
No Place For Partisanship
MY brief experience In this office
fully confirms my previous convic-
lions on this point. am completely
satisfied that there is no place In our
state government where the injection
Of partisan politics can work greater
injury than in the administration Of
our public schools established for the
benefit Of all the people regardless Of
political alignments. As an ex-officfo
member of the state board Of admin
istration, too, my observation has still
further convinced me that our state
institutions are seriously hampered
and injured whenever political con-
siderations are placed first In their
administration.
I'm the organization Of my own
office force last year, decided to dis
regard mere political consideration
and to place efficiency first. I am
quite happy over the results Of that
policy. I have diligently and con-
scientiously tried to avoid discussion or
controversies where the issue was
plainly political.
In seeking reelection this year.
therefore, am hopeful that we may
get back to the spirit and letter Of our
state election laws and that no en-
dorsements may be made In any OF
the political conventions for this Of
flee. In stating this I wish it to be
distinctly understood that I am not
unmindful Of nor ungrateful for en-
corsements given me In 1882 by two
Republican organizations as well as
the Democratic state convention. ]
am simply DESTROYS that we get back
to the clear intent and spirit Of our
election laws and place this office on
strictly non-political basis. as the
law clearly contenplates."

A MAYORS WEDDING PRESENT

Sometimes in public affairs the seemingly little
things take on the most extraordinary significance
Thus by single appointment Mayor LaGuardla
has greatly weakened the brave fight he has been
making for economy in New York City.
Undoubtedly the financial affairs of New York
are in a rather precarious position and the mayor
has been trying to get through legislation at Al
bany which would cut operating costs and in other
ways bring the budget into control He has had
lot of opposition to overcome this opposition com
ing from politicians, city employees including teach
ers whose pay would be reduced and other
sources.
1t appeared that the fight was going to be won
and then. a few days ago, the mayor performed q
marriage ceremony and Immediately thereafter ap-
pointed the bride to lucrative position in the pub
lie service. The bride, it seems, a young woman
of 21 was "research assistant to Mr.. LaGuardia
during his campaign for the mayoraty When she
got married to young lawyer the mayor reward
ed her by giving her job which pays $4,000.
That, of course, is pretty good for young wo-
man of 81 and there are plenty of other young
women in New York, and plenty of young men, too,
who would have liked very much to have had the
job Some of them believe that they in line
for it through years of preparation and service. 1t
makes them boil to see it 90 to personal favorite
| for campaign services.
Some of the taxpayers rather disturbed over
the incident also. One of them says in a letter to
| the New York Times that it is evidence that the
civil service employees are being sacrificed to the
interests of the politicians"
! 1t was right handsome wedding present that
the mayor gave the bride in this instance but 1t
may prove fairly costly one to the causes ne rep
resents.-Asheville Citizen.

to books and libraries? 1t has Bought mental a.
well as physical undernourshment. rs
| new book tells what has happened to other
books during years of stress. In "Our Starving
Libraries R. L. Duffus writes his studies of pub
lie libraries in ten American cities. His revelations
are challenging reading. In every city Mr.. Duffus
found the public library seriously handicapped by
diminished income at the very time it was called
upon for increased service to readers with more
time to read and more need for help on a wider
range of subjects and problems. But everywhere
he found librarians and their stats rising CALAMITY
to unselfsh service despite slashed salaries. Yet
this gallantry cannot obscure the plight OF public
libraries.
Chicago provided the paradox of Century of
Progress being celebrated with an exposition cost
ing millions of dollars while the Chicago Public
Library went without book fund for the third
consecutive year. The state of libraries IN the
other cities studied was not so dramatic, but was
extremely serious in Detroit Indianapolis LOUIS
vile, Knoxville, Richmond Baltimore, Brooklyn,
and New York Springfield Mass, on the other
hand was found to have treated its library better
than other cities. It's library maintenance budget
had been cut but slightly and ingenious readJust-
ments made it possible to meet added demands.
If the ten cities studied are typical of others,
there are bright spots and dark spots in the state
of public libraries, but the dark spots predominant
Rounded recovery cannot come until these dark
spots are frightened. The vast capital investment
in public libraries may be forgotten for the mo-
ment, to ponder rather what library service means
to community, in satisfying the hunger of knowl-
edge, in charging understanding to meet new prob
lens. Mr.. Duffus suggests a remedy for the con-
ditions he found revolt against fiscal policies
that crippled libraries" He adds:
"The banks of the world are gorged with capl5ai
that seeks safe investment. The depression has.
at least proved that there is no safer investment
none more remunerative, and few more unmistak-
ably conducive to the common veal, than the pro-
vision and maintenance of libraries"
Here indeed, is field for gilt or even golden
edge investments. Dividends will be as certain as
they are varied No defaults need be anticipated
Dividends will not be passed. They will not be
paid quarterly or annually, but daily. Perhaps,
after all, the slump in libraries is an opportunity
to disguise, an opportunity for generous and dis
eliminating investments which will enrich life at
a rate wholly dispropOrtionate to the capital re-
quired.-Christian Scnece Monitor i

THE IMPROVEMENT OF VACANT
PROPERTY

The GOldSOOrO NeWS-ArguS makes q SuS-
gestion to some of the property owners OF
that city, and it is worthy of their consld-
Grafton, and of the consideration Of prop
erty owners in other towns and cities. 1t Is
that vacant business houses should be kept
clean and made attractive to prospective
tenants. All rubbish should be removed
from the buildings, they should be kept
clean, the windows should be washed and
everything possible done to make these
vacant buildings a presentable part OF an
otherwise attractive city.
That is the view of the Goldsboro news
paper and it is a logical presentation OF
the subject. For some time past, in almost
all towns and cities of the country there
have been an unusual number of vacant
business buildings. This condition is due
to the slowing down of business and the
disappearance from the business ranks OF
all kinds of business enterprises. In many
of these places is an accumulation Of rub
bish, plainly visible from the streets, they
are dirty and the windows are dusty and
covered with out of date signs, These Va
cant. business houses detract greatly from
the appearance of any town or city and
givelit a black eye from the standpoint OF
publicity or community advertising
In every town and city in the country
the owners of vacant business property
should get busy along the line suggested
by the News-ArguS. HendersOnville has a
number of vacant business houses-nOt as
many as in time past-on Main street anu
other streets, and The Times-News believes
one Of the best things the owners could do,
for their own good and the community
advancement, would be to have these
places cleaned up and made as attractive
as it is possible to make an unoccupied
building. This course will aid in securing
tenants for5 vacant property in the future
and it will improve the appearance Of the
town.
No doubt Hendersonyille will have q

POET OF MANY STATUES

On the 175th anniversary of Robert Burns, which
fell in the early part of this year, upwards of 400
Burns clubs in various parts of the world observed
the day. At the same time it was recalled that the
Prince of Wales had said that in his travels he had
seen more statues erected to the memory of Burns
than to any other man. Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare,
Milton are greater-perhaps much greater-poets
than Burns, but apparently they do not evoke such
widespread and spontaneous tribute. What is the
explanation of this enduring popularity?
Mr.. John Drinkwater has probably given the
right answer in saying that Burns is the simplest
of the worlds supreme poets.' AS such he has a
peculiar value today. The present age has plenty
of greatness without simplicity, and plenty of SIM
plicity without greatness, but combination of the
two is very rare. Mr.. Epstein's sculptures may be
very fine. but their beauty is not Immediately ap-
parent to the man in the street, the relatively the
ory of Dr. Einstein is doubtless wonderful
achievement but it is distinctly more complicated
than the multiplication table; and even if the
poems of Mr.. T. S. Eliot are as epoch-making as
they are considered to be in Cambridge, the fact
that their admirers say that they require an ac-
quantance with ancient and medieval literature
before they can be understood puts them somewhat
outside the pale of simplicity Christian Science

CENTURIES ago housewives
~ learned that there was no way
to bring out the delicious flavor in
foods so well as to stew and SIM
mer them in earthenware pots.
These were the first casseroles. AS
other materials were discovered
that would withstand heat, casse-
roles or closely covered pots were
made of each in turn, until today
they are available in several makes
of vitrified pottery as we'll as
china, glass, iron, enamel ware,
aluminium and copper.
There are many points in favor
of casserole cookery, but its great
est virtue lies in its economical
properties. Foods cooked zen cas-
serole" are delicious-even the
cheapest cuts of meats that are
most unappetizing when cooked in
other ways-and there is no loss
of food value.
Keeps Meal Hot
Aside from this true economy,
the casserole has these merits
which should endear it to the
heart OF the%up-to-date home-mak-
err: 1t goes straight to the table,
saving last minute "dishing up"
and future dishwashing. 1t can
be used for meats, vegetables and
desserts. 1t is a perfect medium
for zone piece" meals, is a sDlen-
did means for "camoufaging"
left-overs and it keeps a delayed
meal hot and inviting.
Any food which can be boiled,
steamed or baked can be cooked
in a casserole. In preparing it

ing. in the case of meat. richness
