POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

The editor of the Jackson Daily News hasn't a great deal
of use for the average politician as can be seen in an editorial
which was written several years ago-we reprint
'Politics is the road that leads to hell. 1t is the most
hypocritical game in the world. Those who play it must
inevitably suffer heartaches, diallusions, dsappointments and
taste ashes of Sodom on their lips.
"we can brave the ordinary dangers of life, the strike
of the rattlesnake, the bite of the dog, the crash of coliding
automobiles, the lies of women, but many the Lord preserve
us from the tricks, the wies, the schemes and the importuni-
ties of the politicians"
Major Sullens makes this comment in Sundays News to
emphasize his first words: Politics hasn't improved any
since those two paragraphs were written. 1t is still cruel,
sordid and selfish, yet it remains the world's most fascinating
game"
He might well have added that politics is going TO re-
main a selfish, sordid game until the public wants a change
bad enough to demand it, When the people of our country
are themselves on such a high plane that they personify I'M
s~elfshness and fairness then they can demand the same
qualities in their public officials.
We are not condoning the actions of grating public
politicians, But We do say that the majority of them go
wrong in an effort to keep their patronage and respond to
what they believe the public expects of them if they are TO
keep office.
The average man is egotistical enough to like the feel
ing that he stands in with various public officials and can
demand or request certain favors he might need from time
to time and get them. And it is this attitude in
the public that is largely responsible for the morale of the
politician.
A politician $ a man that grant you farors from time TO
time and only asks that You remember them when election
day comes
When politics ceases TO be a game perhaps TIT ral1st5ans
and the public viii qait playing Maybe sant cay Fel5tses

come a career and profession for which young yeerle hope
and strive for-and prepare for. Maybe The rime VIII GONE

II read those querulous epiStles
from the Messrs. Phillips and Mac
Arthur Friday. and think can
help them. They talk about leaving
because everything Is too rosy. I can
FIX that. Realizing that the caste
system in force among critics does
not favor the burlesque reviewer, I
make suggestion with the hope that
it will not be considered presumptu-
GUS by my nlustrious brethren.
Boys, you can have my job. That
is, you can toss a coin for it or alter
nate at the chore. It's not such q
bad existence, and those vitriol squirt
guns can be oiled and trained upon
the sumptuous productions which
will meet your appraising eyes. OF
course, you will cease to saunter up
F street. Your old acquaintances will
either snicker or make you feel the
need for a bit of soap as a mouth
wash. People chirp the CHEEKY greet
ing, "How's everything down on Ninth
street," or murmur, How about
meeting the gals?" But, fellers, you
want to ''pan," and mine is the racket
for you-for while at least.
''The first show will react unfavor-
ably-I can guarantee that. Like
wise, the second, and the third and
more. After that the jokes will be
ancient and will pop up every two
weeks, without fail, and the caper-
ing cuties will be thinking about q
seven-horse parlay instead of their
stepping. Promptly your poison darts
fly thick and fast, all the choicest in
vectives roll off the keyboard, and
you'll wonder why your time has been
wasted on sugar-and-creaming cine
mas when these atrocities were be-
ing staged.
Then, after a while. something will
happen. A discovery is certain to be
made that the customers actually like
this stuff, it's all colossal by the bur-
leSque yardstick. Your cherished alb
solute standard of entertainment
value goes out the window, you gush
religiously every Sunday evening,
then HE away to Ninth street and
try to chisel free beer. You will have

The dependable "wop" team, Pinto

work on the banjo falling pleasantly
upon the ear and Jimmy Pinto "giv-

bass instrument. Billy AinSley and

Ainsley seems to have become con-
