WHY KID OURSELVES?

South Carolinians will return an overwhelming
majority for the Democratic ticket Tuesday, as
usual.
We will do it in the belief that we have thought
the matter through and that we. in our mdepen-
dcncC agree that the Democratic party should be
continued in power
But in truth We will do it because of ancestry
and environment. because our fathers and grand
fathers were Democrats. because we have no desire
to toss tradition aside
Most of us are BaptiSts or MethodstS or Catho-
lies because we were born in Baptist or Methodist
or Catholic families, and are Democrats for the
same reason.
In this particular election we believe that. if we
were politically independent we still would return
a majority for Roosevelt. but it wouldn't be 9S
per cent vote for him.
South Carolina is virtually unanimous in national
politics by inheritance and by inheritance alone
Why kid ourselves about it?-Greenville Is c.
Piedmont.

TRUST IN OUR LEADERS SHOULD Bl
RESTORED
(Ry BRUCE CATION

When the nation again returns to what
passes for normal. after the excitement OF
the campaign, it might spend 4 little time
repairing some of its shattered faiths and
Royalties.
In some ways the most expensive thing
about the last few years has been not the
money that has gone down the sink, but the
diSmaying amount of bitter and INCREASING
criticism of men and institutions in which
Americans had always previously placed
confidence.
The campaign only brought this to a
head. Some of it grew out of the depreS
sion and some of it was hangover from
the campaign of 1882. But wherever it
came from and however it was motivated.
the net result cannot be anything but very
bad for us.
For example: any great nation of today
is bound to look for good part of its lead
erShip TO the men who control its financial
institutions As modern society is organ
lied. it cannot do anything else. And how
stands our confidence in bankers, these
days?
For years we have heard them de-
nounced up. down. and crosSwiSe as the
money changers" as men who need

ditch and made us wait there. helpless,
until the government hauled us out.
Perhaps, then. our intelleCtualS are in
better case. Not at all. Have not we heard
brain truSterS' eXcoriated as vain and err
ratio theoreticians. untrustworthy beyond
belief and so impractical and Childlike that
il actually has been q mark against the
administration that it took counsel with
them? Where, or where is our old respect
for college professors?
How. then. about political leaders? Sure
~ they do not share the unSpeakable de-
fectS of bankers and professors? Alas they
are still worse. We have been assured over
and over again that the bureaucrat is the
worst of all public enemies; that politics Is
unworthy of our faith and that no political
promise. no campaign summons to cause,
deserves the slightest trust.
Well, may we fall back on our leaders OF
business and industry? A hundred voices
declare that they are pitileSS and crafty eX-
ponentS of economic royalism, prepared
10 grind our faces in the dirt if we give
them a chance. For years the sky has fair
~ rung with denunciationS of them.
You could go on in this vein for half al
hour. There is hardly a group or an inSti
tuition. of the sort to which we ordinarily
look for leadership. that has not been un
der the most bitter attack for months anC
years.
If we believe half that we have beer
told. we can only assume that we are los
souls and that there is no hope for the re
public.
With the campaign out of the way, we
may be able to get back to sane view
point on these matters. 1t is highly impor
tant that we do so.
If We don't, we simply are paving the
way for some INSCRIPTIONS. Self-seeking

Keep the Eyes
Young
By DONNA GRACE

When a woman gaZes into a
mirror and notes any depressing
change in her appearance, the
first question arising in her mind
is What can do? Why did I
ever let this happen to me?"
1t would be foolish to say we
are as young as our daughters or
young sisters. We must do lot
to keep looking even as young as
we are ourselves, and there are
many little ways to cover up and
even erase the age marks that are
beginning to show.
Hands have an unpleasant &C
curacy when it comes to regarding
the passing years, but there Is one
other feature that dominates every
thing else when it comes to placing
us at an age, and that, my read
erS, is the eyes.
You have never seen any young
eyes framed by old features. When
the eyes are young, the whole face
is young. That is one reason why
you should not permit the eyes to
become dull and lose their keen,
expressive, youthful beauty.
Mo- beauty treatment brings
greater satisfaction than one that
helps to preserve strength and
health of the eyes and gives
them the sparkling brilliancy
that assures beauty.
To be attractive, the eyes must
have correct exercises. have
worked out a splendid set Of eye
movements that will do more to
keep them bright and strength
ened than any treatment have
ever heard Of.
Combined with that is the eye
wash that so many thousands OF
my readers are using.
