NEWSPAPERS OPINION
GOVERNOR RITCHIE'S DEFEAT

Once there was in Athens great statesman
known to his contemporaries as Aristides the Just.
He descended from one of the "best families, y
we are told, distinguished himself as general, be-
came chief ruler of the city, made magnificent
record But he and another Greek statesman of
his time, Themstocese, became engaged in contrO-
versy, which waxed hot and noisy and the Athen-
ians took vote, which was little way they had,
on whether Aristides should be ostraczed or BAN
ished from Athens.
The story is told that on the day of the voting
an ignorant citizen, personally unknown to the
statesman requested Aristides himself to write the
name "Aristides' on the ballot for him. "But why
you voting to Danish Aristides?" Aristides
asked him. Quick came the answer: Because I
am tired of hearing him always called The Just.
The story came to mind in bordering the fate
which has overtaken Governor Albert c. Richie
of Maryland; for Mr.. Richie has been governor
of Maryland since 1920 and throughout the period
during which he has ruled at Annapolis he has
been known at home and abroad the best gov
ernor Maryland ever had and as perhaps the best
governor in any state Through good times and
bad times he has given Mary and an administra-
ton notable for its sanity, its ability its fairness,
its sound and illuminated craftsmanship. Never
theless, asking for fifth term, Mr. Richie has
been beaten by a candidate who, as well can
be discovered, is non-descrpt.
No doubt Mr. Ritehie's handling of the 1ynchng
situation on Maryands Eastern Shore year OF
so ago contributed to his defeat for he managed
at that time to arouse resentment which never
fully burned itself out; but he has gone down
principally, we think because many Marylanders
wearied of hearing how good he was and wanted a
change to see what it would be life. Four years
after he was exiled the Athenians were glad to call
Arstides again into their service. The Maryland

four years are out.-Ashevile Citizen.

ward it is right-if we look upon
it as what it is-an experience
ground, a testing ground.
If we behave ourselves properly
in this world, we shall have our
hands full and Our heads full.
Some persons are so occupied
with the next world that they
have no time to give sufficient
thought to this world. Some Of
our so-called saints are so busy
thinking, talking and singing
about pearly gates, golden harps
and golden streets that they for
get their duty to their fellowmen
and to their country right here
and right now.
Of course a person who reso-
lutely shapes his course right,
here, is heading himself toward
a better world than this one. In
that respect, he is not ignoring
the other world; that is well. A
boy in grammar school does not
have to burden his mind with the
problems he will confront in high
school and in college. Yet it would
be justifiable and even complen-
dable should he have his eyes fix
ed on high school and college
while wrestling with the Difficult
ties of grammar school. But
should he permit himself while in

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

According to the figures of the United
States Census Bureau, census OF 1881, the
charges for electric service Of all the mu-
nicipally owned plants of the country are
14,S per cent. higher than the charges OF
all the privately owned plants in the Unit
ed States.
Patrons of municipal plants are paying
on the average close to fifteen per cent
more for service than patrons of private
plants.
1t is fact, also, that in large majority
of communities having municipal owner
ship the taxpayers are putting up addi-
tional money to keep the plants in bust
ness. This is the result of poor business
management and the inefficiency of polltl-
cal control of plants. This increases the
tax load on property owners and makes 1t
necessary to charge higher rates than
those charged by private plants which are
free from the handicaps of public owner
ship. f..
It is a fact, also, that government owned
plants usually furnish less efficient and
less satisfactory service than privately
owned plants.
The government in business in the pow
err field is the same story as the govern
ment in other lines of business. The fed
eral government is now competing with
its citizens in more than one hundred diff
ferent lines of business. The blighting eff
fects of this un-Democratic and unconsti-
tutional competition is clearly evident in
every case where it exists.

high school and college.
Many a fellow has lost his girl
through failing to make himself
capable Of supporting her because
he thought so much about her
and daydreamed so much about
her that he did not do his work
properly, so lost his job. 1t is fine
for a fellow to have a girl and
to have his mind set on the pur-
pose of marrying her and proper
ly providing for her; but he
should not think so much about
those things that he can not at
tend to his business. The obiec-
tive in the distance should have
the effect Of calling out the en-
ergy and the effort needed to
reach the objective.
We should not live too many
days at time, particularly if the
days are heart-rending or trying.
Almost any one of us can stand
the burden and the distess of the

we pile into one hour or into one

is, who vote in general elections at all.
Franklin D. Roosevelt frankly says that he does

vote for Republicans or anybody else, but we, as
his followers, demur from this phrase of his lead
