Editor The Times-News and Vot-
ers Of Henderson County:
Are we going to sit down and
allow our county to return to the
hands of the Republican party,
which is an assured fact unless
something is done? We have
three commissioners that can't be
reelected and unless the Demo-
Gratis get out a different ticket
and do it at once our name as
Democrats in. this county in Den
mis-.
Now this is no gypsy dream. l
have had dozens tell me they
could not and would not support
the present ticket as it stands
and they are all good substantial
Democrats.
Now my advice is if we intend
to hold our footing as Democrats
in this county we must get out
three additional men for the Of
flee of commissioner and out Of
the six we can make our selec-
tions and in November we will
have chance to win, but unless
this is done we are going to per-
nit the Republican party to take
charge again. As for me / don't
bear the idea of being forced to
vote ticket whether it be good
or bad. Please give this your at
tertion now unless you think I,
am mistaken and if you think that
way November will tell the tale.

Basic Industry Sought
To Take Colds Place

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
Successive South African governments
have laid emphasis upon the fact this
country must 50 frame its policy that
there will be something to take the
place Of the great gold mining industry
when the present mines are worked
out, something that will take over the
burden of supporting this huge but
thinly populated country In. say.
half-century, by which time the mines
may be no longer pouring their mil
lions into the treasury.
There Is a growing movement for
state investigation Of the base metals
OF South Africa, these people pointing
to the big trade In manganese ore built
up with America. But, broadly speak
ing, the general idea Is that agricul-
ture must be built up, in spite Of the
fact we have regular droughts In which
live stock die by thousands. Successive

College Men and Politics

do not believe that we are getting
into the public service a proper share
Of our young men Of high promise. We
can do so only by increasing the pres
tige of governmental employment; we
can increase this prestige only by en-
larging the opportunities for distin-
guished careers within the service.
What have said relates to admins
tration as a career, rather than politics
as a career. I should like to say a final
word regarding the young man and
party politics. No one will dispute the
sef-evident proposition that the State
requires a vast array Of expert services
for the handling of the multitudinous
concerns itself, but the great problem
Of policy, Of adjustments Of competing
social and economic interests. cannot
be solved merely by the intellectual
equipment Of the expert. Neither will
Democracy delegate such decisions to
experts, but will demand that the deci-
sions in the larger matters be left to
itself and its chosen representatives.
College Men in Congress
For this reason there should be an
honorable career in politics as distinct
from the administrative career for the
young man interested in it. There are
goodly number of college graduates
in Congress and in the State Legisla-
lures, but unless they are Of recent vint-
age, they are hard to identify. II their
college experience left any imprint on
them at all. 1t frequently Is dif1cult to
recognize. The charge commonly made
that our universities have failed to pro-
vide American public life with . race
Of politicians Of brilliant parts and i'm
peccable integrity" such as the Brit
therefore has some substance. The
criticism unless materially qualified is
unfair because 1t ignores differences in
the social and political soils of the two
countries. Yet it Is true that our edu-
cational authorities have accepted the
current estimate Of q statesman as
being only a dead politician, and in
common with others have held the
term politician" in contempt.
Thousands Of boys throughout the
United States are studying history,
thought Of practicing them either &C
lively as q vocation or passively as q
voting citizen. II they consider them
selves particularly high-minded, party
politics Is probably the last thing they
contemplate. II young man OF talent
enters politics the friends of his fam
fly send cards of sympathy.
7 should like to see our colleges adopt
q more realistic attitude toward politics
as q career for the youth of the land.
There are more honest and capable
men in politics than most Of us imagine.
Participation in politics is entertain
ing; the opportunities for service are
rich, and success brings great personal
satisfaction, If not popular acclaim.
College teachers should not conceal the
dark aspects Of political life, but they
likewise should present In all honesty
the bright and attractive side.
