refugees, the United Nations Spec

Party Changer

Col. William Lightfoot Visscher
was born Kentuckian before
Civil war days. For several years
he was employed as an amanuensis
by Henry Watterson. and by choice
and by precept, followed Marse
Henry in his political affiliations.
He voted the straight Democratic
ticket Through several political
campaigns in the early part Of the
century Colonel Visscher's services
as an oratoricaI spellbinder were
on the market to the party that
would pay the highest price. The
Republicans, with more dollars to
spend, were the successful bidders.
1t worked satisfactorily until the
1912 campaign when the colonel
was sent to Kentucky.
That assignment proved dIsas-
trOus, both to Visscher and 20 the.
Republican party. Marse Henry,
his old revered employer, turned
on him and editOrialIy ridlculed
him as a Democratic Judas. Wat.
tersOn was powerful in Kentucky.
That FidicuIe cost Visscher his
standing as q Kentuckian, Of
which he was especially proud,
and the Republicans lost the state
which they had hopes Of carry
ing.

counting several million votes cast
by federal government payrollers.
The real friend does not keep

ADVISING THE YOUNG PEOPLE

About now, when young people are
through with school and college, they are
very apt to ask advice as to their future
careers from teachers, business and profess
siOnal men. We hear it said that young peo-
pie nowadays do not take any advice, and
many of them refuse to take any from their
parents at least. But many of the youngsters
feel bewildered by the problems involved in
starting their life's work, and they are very
serious as they approach their elders to ask
for advice on their problems. There is such
a'thing as taking too much advice. After
people have heard contrary opinions from a
dozen different sources, they feel completely
confused and are likely to decide their course
by chance. But those who accept advice usu-
ally come out better than those who strike
ahead blindly and take whatever comes cas-
lest. A prospect that looks very attractive
from the outside, is frequently the reverse.
An experienced person can be very helpful
to young people if he will give them the bene-
INT OF his observations. Some people have
such violent prejudices that their advice has
but little value. But when people have made
a success of some occupation, they usually
have balanced judgment, and their views
are worth listening to. Many of the young
people fail to get the results they are seeking
because of fundamental misunderstanding of
conditions with which they will be confront
ed. What they need is to go to some expert
enced person and ask their considered advice
In meeting their problems It is often diff
cult to advise them, yet anyone who has had
considerable experience can throw light on
their problems. The older residents of all
communities should be glad to give their time
Tor this purpose, whether they have personal
acquaintance with such callers or not.

could have an income of $4,000

vANDENBERG AND MARSHALL

If the American people chose
as presidential candidates the
men they most deeply trust-or
the men who most truly serve
them-the race this year might
we'll have been between George
C. Marshall and Arthur H. Van
denberg. But both have now re-
moved themselves from the con-
test-unless Senator Vandenberg
h GU d be drafted as a COM
promise candidate.
Just a year ago on becoming
Secretary of State, Mr.. Marshall
took himself completely out of
the partisan arena-and thereby
gained great freedom to do his
vital job. Today much of the
strength of the United States
foreign policy position derives
from the character of George
Marshall and the peoples trust
in him. This fact suggests that
it might be wise to leave him in
office to carry through the Mar.
shall Plan even should a Repub.
lican win the Presidency.
Senator Vandenberg has just
asked his Michigan friends not to
put forward or support his name
in either the t a e or national
conventions. And his reason-"l
can best serve my country by
completing my present term in
the Senate''-must be respected.
Mr.. Vandenberg occupies a un.
ique position. He is the keystone
of the bipartisan foreign policy.
