Editor the Times-News:
Please allow me space to say
few words concerning the
changes in our politics. In my
early life no one ever meddled or
dictated who should be a candi-
date for any office in the coun-
ty or state. Now it seems that
everything must be centralized.
The state board fixes the ma
chinery that works as it plows.
The cities and towns plan to fix
for their own choosing. The
rural districts have no say unless
in a primary.
| | want to congratulate R. l..
Whitmire for his stand and cour-
age to speak his sentiment on
this matter. In my first voting
men were not inundated and
made afraid to vote their own
convictions. After their election
at home, in congress or in the
legislature in his state, but now
he must pledge to vote this way
or that way or he can't be elect
ed to office. Now | give you my
sentiment. He that pledges HIM
self to do the bidding of any
party organization or corpora
ton is a weakiing and is not fit
to represent any people any
where. The representatives of this
state will be asked to repeal the
sales tax act of 1888, and the
man who pledges to do that will
not carry my district. Let him
wait till he is in the legislature
then if they can plan something
better, all right, but never put it
back on real estate.
This intimidating began back
with Wayne B. Wheeler, the anti
saloon man who would tell the
members of congress that they
would have to vote for a certain
measure or he would direct their
defeat in the next election. He
thought he was doing the right
thing and 1 thought so but that
start has led to the corrupting of
everything, even the courts. !
hope to live till there is a law
that no lobbist is allowed on the
grounds Of the legislature.

A GOOD CITIZEN
By WICKES WAMBOLDT-

For in the democracy, every man
and woman has a very definite
part to perform. a very distinct
obligation to discharge, if he and
she would be a good citizen.
In the democracy, the people
themselves do the ruling or they
select their representatives to do
the governing for them.
A person can not be a good
citizen in a democracy without
taking an active part, however
small, in making that democracy
run right.
The democracy is actually a
form of government fit only, in
tended only, for a high-grade of
civilization-for a high type of
human being.
If you are living in a demo-
cracy, you are living under a spe-
cial privilege. You have not only
the privilege but the responsible
ity of seeing to it that your COM
munity, your state, your nation,
are honestly and efficiently gov
erned. You are not a good citi-
zen, no matter how well you may
conduct yourself personally UNI
less you are discharging the re-
sponsibility that your democracy
thruStS on you.
When you say, as you probably
do, "Our political situation is rot
ten," you are accusing yourself.
You are saying that you have not
been a good citizen, that you
have not put forth the effort to
prevent your democratic govern
ment for whose success you have
individual responsibility, from go
ing haywire, or becoming racket
eer-ridden.
AS said before, the democracy
is type of government suited
only to high type human beings
it really means self-government.
Perhaps we Americans are not
ready yet for self government.
think we are. But we are fast
approaching the stage where we
are going to find out.
Up to the present time we have
been self-governed. We have al
