I have a friend whose definition of politics is
near the heart of the matter.
Politics, he says, lis organized prejudice.
That comes nearer than you may specifically
think in telling what politics is are-which is it.
is are?
The mass mind is inspired into thinking along
given line popular line line that appeals to
its passions rather than to its soberer judgments
line that calls out the primary and primitive in
stincts rather than reasoned and developed concu-
sions. "
And such prejudiees and spites and passions ex-
plodes in favor of given candidate for public Of
fe who has been adroit enough to play the keys Of
such motives.
That accounts, of course, for the multiple acct
dents of politics which are becoming as mighty a
threat to good government as any social or moral
perversion that is sweeping through the land-peo-
pie voting their right to choose policies and per-
sonalities which, combined, hostile to saneness

And now comes an aspirant fer the office now

Of Greene county who in the interest of promoting
his own political aspirations. undertakes to blow

Thew have been repeated by The Observer, not
in the interest of partisan propaganda for Mr. Ell

information on this point.
This newspaper has repeatedly said that the re-
ouest made by Mr. Erwin for an appropriation OF
500 600, 900 was compromise sum set and hxed
nv and with the agreement and understanding OF
The Congress of Parent Teachers, the North Caro-
lima Educational Association and the North Caro-

We have an idea, however that such official con-
sultation might acduit Mr.. Erwin in their indict-

In addition it might, also, give verify to the
general opinion among school interests in the state
that this agreed-upon sum of S22,0000O0 would
have been wrested from the General Assembly ex-
cept for reported interference on the part of the
State School Commission in reporting to the Legls-
