THE OLDEST GOVERNMENT

Here is something good, loyal Americans may
well thing over when they come up against the ar
rument that our government and social order are
all wrong and that they ought to be changed for
something they conceive to be better
We have here in America the only form of gov
eminent and the only order of society which has
not been long ago tried out and discarded.
We may have been thinking popular republican
government and democracy have been getting a
setback in many parts of the world during the last
few years.
That. on the surface, may appear to be what has
happened. But careful examination of the Sltua-
ton opens up the question whether the countries
where something of this sort has happened have
ever been actually Republican Democratic.
4 government may be called Republican, and yet
be long way from being a popular government
"of the people, for the people, and by the people
There are a number of so-callcd republics in Eu-
rope and other parts of the world which are mere
oligarchieS.
Something at least quite closely approaching our
American form of government is the only really
popular government government by the people,
there is or ever has been in the world, And it is
the one form of government which has long en-
dured without needing to be 'made over
1t has been said with truth that we have here in
America the oldest existing form of government IN
the world today. the one government which has
existed hundred and fifty years without radical
change.
There must be something fundamentally sound
and good about such a government Let's keep this
we'll in mind when theorists and rcformerS, intel
lectua or otherwise try to tell us America needs
to be made overlook Hill, S. c., Herald.

So far as South Carolina is concerned, more and

WHAT ARE THE ANSWERS?

Many things are happening III the 1880
national political campaign that would De
highly amusing if they were not so serious
rs to their ultimate consequences.
For example. there is Mr.. Jas. Z. Var
burg. who walked out of the Roosevelt
party some time ago and then penned two
books in which the New Deal was neatly
and completely skinned and President
Roosevelt was bliSteringly indicted as a
very dangerous man. unfit to be chief eN-
ecutive of the nation.
Now Mr.. Warburg has trotted back INTO
fhe New Deal ranks, with the explanation
that he is going to vote for Roosevelt be-
cause Cordell Hull is Secretary OF State
and he endorses the policies of the State
Department framed by Secretary Hull, but
not endorsed. as far as the public knows,
with any particular enthusiasm by the Sec
retary'S chief.
Thus Mr.. Warburg makes himself utter
" ridiculous, we believe, in the estimation
of all honest and sincere citizens OF this
country, no matter to what political party
they may belong.
An honest citizen can respect another
honest citizen who has always been a DEM
ocrat. whose views of the administration
and Roosevelt are exactly what Mr.. War
burg wrote two books to prove his views
TO be. but who courageOuSly and conslS-
tentlv makes the application of his views
and principles by declining to vote for
ROoSevelt'S reelection. On the other hand,
no honest citizen is disposed to violently
criticiSe another citizen who has been a
lifelong Republican and who now sup
ports Roosevelt for reasons that have some
basis of logic and common sense.
James P. Warburg's position is SO weak
and absurd that we doubt if any honest
American can retain a feeling OF respect
for him i'm the future. Certainly, no intelIl-
gent. honest persons will hereafter be IN
fluenced i'm the slightest degree by his po-
litical views or prOmulgationS.
Thoughts similar to the foregoing occur
to The TimeS-NewS in considering cases
closer home than Mr.. Warburg'S.
For example, there is the case of The
Charlotte Observer, which used five or SlX
columns of space a few days ago to tell
why it had decided to advocate the re-
election of Roosevelt, after using hundreds
of columns of space in the past year or two
TO take issue with the policies OF the New
Deal and to condemn in the severeSt and
most devastating sentences practically al
Of he important steps taken by Roosevelt
If five per cent. of what The Observer
has had to say about RooSevelt's record a.
President is true, he is not fit to be CHIEF
executive of the nation for four years more
and his reelection to the office will be the
greatest mistake the country has evel
made.
If The Observer believes what 1t has Salt
in criticism of Roosevelt and his policies
must be convinced that he is the Dangerous
man pictured by Mr.. Warburg and that M
greater calamity than his reelection coult
befall the country.
Yes, these are strange times and many
strange things are happening, many o.
which would be extremely laughable bu
for the serious implications connected
herewith.
