NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SWEEPING THE WHITE HOUSE PREMISES

Word is out that President Roosevelt Is going to
surround himself with a virtually new official FAM
ily With, perhaps, two or three exceptions, ne is
thinking of supplanting his present cabinet and
looking for new blood for these vital and infuen-
tia portfolios.
That will be heartening if the Presidents lean
inps are in the direction of more craftsmanship IN
these positions and less politics.
It will be inspiring also if, in his plans, Mr..
Roosevelt desires the counsel and leadership In his
cabinet of men whose traditional mould of mind
lies along more conservative grooves
And while he is about this business of interject-
ING new vrility into his official household, the Pres
ident would do we'll to take his broom and scour
bit behind the curtains, busting out and off OF
the official premises of the White House some of
the present important and influential personalities
whose views are known to be at variance with the
Democratic traditions of the American people.
Whoever these may be who in their advisory
capacity have been Turing the President into ex-
permentations contrary to American traditions and
perlous to American democracy, Mr.. Roosevelt
would do well to divorce himself
We still want Americanism in America, not Eu-
ropeanism.
We insist upon retaining every ancient heritage
that has been proven, upon critical cross-examna-
t;on and trial. to be sound and valid and promotive

rel That is Europe's business.
Rut America demands respect for and fidelity to
ire own established liberties, and if there be those
in high places who prefer an experiment with po-
cal theories as against the practical merits Of the
American procedure, their proper place is nowhere
near the throne of American government'-Char-

A FAMOUS VICTORY

famous victory it was, that of Tuesday, for
the forgotten man, for humanity, Democratic IN
situations and all those things. This staunch DEM
ocratic strongholds part in it ought to suffuse US
with pleasure and satisfaction. But it remains TO
he seen how much of the more abundant life may
be realized by remote control, which is to say by
policies shaped in Washington when affairs under
our own direct and sole supervision are needing
attention.
For example, at about the time people all over
the city were voting for Mr.. Roosevelt and Secur-
ity, the regular monthly police report was issued.
1t showed that four murders had been committed
during October bringing the total for the year thus
far to 81. Security will not do these corpses much
good.
There are several factors to blame for this dis
graceful homicide record, all of them chargeable to
neglect and indifference in the community ITSELF
Hence, by voting for the humanitarianism OF Mr..
Roosevelt, we did not absolve ourselves of the re-
sponsibility of practcing humanitarianism at home
A good way to start would be by saving some OF
the 80 or 40 lives that are lost every year by
murder.-Charlotte News.

A SOLDIER IS JOHN GARNER

So spoke John Nance Garner, Texas, candidate
for vice president of the United States in 1882:
"In my opinion nearly all of our civic troubles
are the consequences of governments departure
from the legitimate functions The gravitation
of power to Washington has buded structure Of
administration vast beyond the imagination OF the
builders of the constitution - complex involved,
and uncoordnated; fabric of bureaus, commits
sions, boards, and departments that overlap and
Interfere with one another-and all at the cost OF
the people"
So spoke John Nance Garner four years later IN
accepting denomination for vice president OF the
United States:
az am soldier and my duty is to follow where
my commander leads. accept the rules OF war as
laid down in the platform"
soldier is John Nance Garner HIS not 10 cues

on salient issues is plainly said however bndiy ne

Editor, The Times-News:
"To the victors belong the
spoils," was slogan coined by
Jackson, and it has heen q policy
followed too closely by both the
major parties in our country.
This is to express the hope that
the recent election, so overwhelm-
ingly Democratic, will not cause
political leaders in either state OF
nation to use their delegated pow
or in q way to work a hardship on
any citizen belonging to any los
ing party. 80, 3,
This is a great country, filled
with a great people, whose ideals
are Christian. Let the Democratic
party live up to those ideals by
avoiding littleness and unneces-
sary favoritism. If position be-
comes vacant, let the most capa-
BILE man fill it. If relief be neces-
sary, let the most needy be served
first. If a suggestion for commun-
ity betterment is made, let one
and all lend helping hand.
Let us do away with strife, bit
terness, and envy, and learn to
give more of the milk of human
kindness and more of the spirit of
the golden rule.
Many a citizen who heretofore
belonged to some other party
voted the Democratic ticket last
Tuesday. Now let the Democratic
party show its bigness of soul in
this it's day of fine opportunity.

THINGS ABOUT LIFE

king. A king cannot live a prl-
vate life. Everything he does is
food for the thought and the dis
cussion OF his subjects. If he lives
uprightly, he sets an example that
will irresistibly improve the char
acters of his people; if he lives
unworthily, he sets an example
which tends to tear down the char
acters of his people.
A king should not expect to have
q life apart from his people.
1t is the duty Of a king to set
his followers a high standard of be-
havior, both in his public and his
private life, for they will be
strongly influenced for right or
wrong in their own lives by the
example set by their monarch in
his. -...a.

T. A. Holcombe, supervisor for

prised that so few farmers shown
any signs Of distress over possibly
threatened loss of their farms. Mr..
Holcombe and the committee will
be glad to carefully weigh the
facts and rs a result might make
satisfactory adjustments with
creditors. This has been done in
many sections. Mr.. Holcombe
