clans, this speaker said, do not
want the business men To take an
interest in politics any more than
they want the churches to take a
similar interest. "Beavc politics
to us" advise the politicians; and
they have put on Il persistent
campaign to make the business
man think his own interests re-
quire him to leave politics to the
politicians. The politicians want
every person who has Il mind OF
his own and who places the wei
fare Of the nation above the hene-
fits to politicians to keep out of
politics-and that is what is the
matter today with our govern
ment and much that is the matter
with our nation.
But the business men are get
ting their eyes open to this bust
ness of politics; they are begin
ming to see that the politicians
hvac been exploiting the public,
including the business men.
1t used to be customary for the
business man to say, II have no
time for politics. have my own
affairs 10 look after"
The constant suggestions OF the
politicians were responsible for
that state Of mind. But today We
do not hear that remark so often.
Let us hope we shall hear it less

SKIRMlSH IN SOUTH CAROLINA

News dispatches yesterday detailed the
story of how President Roosevelt, at his
press conference, following the South Car
olina primary, produced a sealed envelope
which, when he had opened it, was found
to contain prediction estimate OF ma
Jocity of forty thousand votes for Senator
Smith.
This pathetic effort to let himself and
his followers down easy family indicates
the force of the wallop given Roosevelt
and radicalsm in South Carolina.
The South Carolina result is probably
more significant aud far-reaching than the
general public is prepared to visualize and
understand at present. 1t may be that fu-
ture historians of these times will record
the fact that the end of radical control Of
the federal government began with the
victory Of Senator Smith and his support
erS.
However. from the standpoint of the
country at large the South Carolina con-
test was not more than a SkirmiSh, 1t is a
certain indication, this newspaper believes,
that the country (the South, primarily is
waking up and majority of the people
will soon have their understanding Of con-
ditionS focused on the facts as to what has
been happening in the nation in the past
six years. But il was Skirmish and not a
major battle, and no doubt number of
years and many conflicts, large and small,

ground for political dead cats, discredited
radicals and would-be dictators.
The devil is not more persistent than
these radicals and people who imagine
that a few lickings such as was admins.
tered in South Carolina will bring this
movement to an end, will be disappointed.
Nothing less than the humiliation of this
movement will finally stop it. So long as
this gang holds offices of prominence and
profit, has its hands and arms thrust TO
the shoulders in the United States treas
ury, and is thereby enabled to lord it over
the responsible citizens of the nation, the
alleged new deal will continue to under
mine and destroy.
War to the death with radicalism is
what will be necessary to save the country
from the consequences of this plague and
pestilence.
South Carolina has indicated the course
the country will he compelled to take,
May it be that Georgia, Maryland. New
York aud other States shall go and do
likewise.

NEW DEAL. VS.. DEMOCRACY

In resignng from the staff Of Governor John
ston a Charleston says that he is a Democrat
and not New Dealer"
The remark is significant of growing feeling
in this section of the country that there is dis
tincton between the Democratic party and what
various political commentators have called the
New Deal Party"
The Texas Weekly has interesting comment
along this line this week in discussing the prospec
tive plans of Congressman Maverick and Senator
Pope of Idaho, defeated New Dealers, to run in
the general election as independents.
THE cases of Congressman Maverick of Texas
and Senator Pope of Idaho might conceivably be
used to prove number of things" says the Texas
magazine, but the thing they prove most clearly
is what the South has been suspecting for quite
while: that many of the ardent New Dealers aren't
really Democrats at all. And while that hardly
comes under the heading of news, 1t is something
that should be brought home as often as possible
and as strongly as possible, to the good party
men who have been inclined to go along with the
New Deal because it masquerated under the name
of the Democratic party. If the New Dealers want
to be independents or 'progressives' or anything
ese that is their privilege; but in such case, let
them quit misusing the name of the Democratic
party. Only of course, they won't quit misusing
that name long the real Democrats of the
country allow them to get by with it"
This distinction between the New Deal party
and the Democratic party undoubtedly lies at the
bottom of the party split which now to be
inevitable as result Of the Roosevelt purge"
efforts
1t might also be said that the New Deal party
is Mr. Roosevelts own personal party, and its chief
political tenet is unquestioning support of what
ever plans, programs and schemes Mr.. Roosevelt
himself may develop from time to time. Some Of
these ideas in the past have not conformed with
genuine Democrats conceptions of their party
principles and very evidently there going to
be lot more Roosevelt ideas of similar conflicting
character-particuarly if he is elected to a third
term.
This New Deal party thus appears IN the light
OF n one-man party through which one-mau con-
troll Of the government would be the inevitable
power 1t is hardly necessary to point out the
marked resemblance between such plan and that
which Messrs Mussoln and Hitler have. put into
operation in their respective countries
Democrats who do not look upon this as in con-
formty with their party principles, nor with basic
principles of American representative democracy,
will continue to find fellowship in this political pro
gram increasingly uncomfortable, Already there is
q broadening realization of the basic conflict be-
tween the New Deal party and the Democratic
party which foreshadows the necessity for citizens
to make their choice between them.-Greenvillc

WTASHINGTON.-One trouble

child labor amendment to the

The amendment was submitted
10 years ago, and has not yet been

it effective. The argument has
been made that notifications made

and that the whole procedure
should be ruled out and a new
approach made. At the request

were on the losing end when Kan

arguments on the question in
