THE PRIVATE SECRETARY.

"The Private Secretary" the Senior
class play. was presented Friday eve
ming to large audience in the Junior
HIGH auditorium, with Libby High
School students and Miss Witt doing
some excellent dramatic work. The
play, an old favorite, with an ENGLISH
setting and "asides" offered something
of more difficult nature than the cen
eral run OF present day high school
plays. Raymond KuiawaA as the private
secretary, portrayed an excellent per-
formance. We do not know how The

Grating within the Democratic ad-

With such a struggle as that under
way 1t Is meaningless, and a misfor-
tune to the Nation, for men to think
of themselves as in the traditional
sense Democrats" or Republicans. /"
AS 1t seems so farm the absence
of any visible progress toward forma-
ton Of a new party-probably the
struggle must be fought out within
the frameworks of the two old
parties. 1t will be a great irony II
the Democratic party should become
the one opposing individual liberty;
but as 1t seems now they will go into
this congressional campaign indors-
ing the enormous deprivation Of in
dividual liberty, the great transfer Of
power over the individual to the
government and to the President as
an individual, which has marked
the Roosevelt administration. And,
since the two-party system is too
deeply embedded in American usage
for change to be practicable in so
short a time, probably the Repub-
lican party will carry the banner of
individual liberty of resistance to
state encroachment upon the inde-
pendence Of the individual and the
integrity of the AZ States. 1t will be
almost a perfect reversal of the his
toric roles of the two parties, but 1t
seems probable.

BALTIMORE POST

BALTIMORE, March 24.-The Bal
timore Post, an evening newspaper,
was sold today by Scripps- Howard
to the Baltimore Evening News, owned
by William Randolph Hearst. This
leaves two newspapers in the Balti-
more evening field, the new consol-
idated evening paper and the Balti-
more Evening Sun.
In an announcement today the
Post said:
"Todayis issues of the Post will he
the last published as such. Mondays
issues Of the News will be a consol-
idated newspaper, published under
the title The News and the Post.
THE Post during the past 13 years
demonstrated to the satisfaction of it's
owners that there was no hope of
success In Baltimore as long as there
were three afternoon newspapers in
the field. Being unable to buy either
OF the other two, ScrippS- Howard
therefore sold"

ment said:

will be served by the four great news

ciated Press, International News

Is going on Is so vital that the need
Of effective opposition for the sake of
public debate and understanding is
imperative. II It should be necessary
for the Republican party to disappear,
and for existing Republican leaders
and figure -heads to step aside, that
price would not be too much to pay.
The ideal quarter for a new party
to start from would be from among
the Democratic leaders. That is the
merit OF David Lawrence's suggestion
Of a new party to be called a Con-
stitution Democratic party" I say
from among the Democratic leaders. 4"
Democratic leaders" is a broad
phrase. Read literally, 1t includes all
Democratic leaders. Even so, it is
not much too broad.
Perhaps I should say Democratic
leaders of the type Of Senator Carter
Glass Of Virginia." But Senator Glass
merely happens to be the one con-
spicuous Democratic leader who has
spoken publicly In the severest pos
sible disapproval Of what the Roose-
q.
Glass becomes, therefore, about the
only one who can be mentioned pub
Hcly. But am quite confident that
more than half of those Democrats
who have rank as leaders approx
mately equal to that Of Mr.. Glass de-
plore equally with him the things that
are being done in the name Of the
Democratic party. I have heard a
Democrat who in official rank is one
of the five foremost in the party say
in private conversation: "Oh, yes, I
know we are on a course which will
lead first to a period of Fascism fol-
lowed after a brief interval by Com
munism, but" If the shrug of
the shoulders which completed that
sentence were translated into words,
it would read somewhat as follows !:
Il am a rather oldish man, I have
been a Democrat all my life, I have
held office as a Democrat almost all
OF my mature life, and I don't care to
imperil what future have left" Or
1t would read: THE party tie Is
strong, there is no general disposition
TO revolt yet, and I don't want to be
the first to make a break" Or it
would read: President Roosevelt Is
strong with the country, the hope of
the Democrats to stay in power rests
largely on him, and I don't want to
start a row against the source of our
party good fortune"
Dichotomy Obsolete.
If Democratic leaders of the type of
Senator Glass, or If younger Demo-
Gratis In the South and elsewhere
young men not yet active and not vet
widely known but having the caliber
to become the Carter Glasses of 10
or 20 or 80 years from now-if such
should start either new party or a
movement to restore the Democratic
party to its old principles-if such a
movement should get under way and
II success for it should require that
the Republicans join it, the duty to
do so would be plain. The issues
ahead OF the country cannot be de-
scribed in terms OF Democratic" or
Republican"
To describe present-day American
politics in terms Of Democratic versus
Republican would be as obsolete as
to describe them in terms of pro-
slavery and anti-slavery, or Wing
and Tory. What is really going on
is a tug-of-war between two sets Of
forces personified in two groups of
leaders. One set Of forces and lead
ers is trying to hold America to the
principles embodied in the Constitu-
ton and TO the familiar American
