Mr.. BorkIey Bows Out

The end Of a long and faithful career Of
service to his country and his political party
seems to be drawing near for Alben Barkley.
It has been a career in which the Kentuckan
and his host of friends may take great pride.
When Mr.. Barkley in recent weeks let it be known
that he was first available and then actively
seeking the Democratic presidential nomination
most political observers felt that it was candi-
dacy doomed to failure At "a, the Vice Presi-
dent is hardly the man to lead his party in
what appears to be it's toughest fight since 1882;
or the man to lead the country as President in
such momentous period of history.
Even those observers who did not favor the
Barkley candidacy, however, felt that honor and
respect were due him for his past services, and
that the action Of placing his name before the
convention would provide an appropriate tribute.
Others, it seems, had different ideas with the
result that the Kentuckian Withdrew last night
on note of bitter denunciation against unnamed
labor bosses, and leaders of certain large con-
vention delegations who are now finding it
"expedient" to withdraw earlier support and to
oppose him.
It is, indeed, an unhappy chapter in story
Of great political loyalty, and hardly one in
which the parties responsible can take great
satisfaction.

A Primary Plank

The petition by bloc of Democratic members
of Congress that the party's 1852 platform should
contain plank favoring Nationwide presi-
dental primary raises an old issue of some merit
but of little appeal to those who really run the
countrys politics.
The original purpose Of the presidential pri-
mary idea-dating back to early in this century
was to give the voters a direct voice, and
ultimately the dominant voice, in the selection
of the nominees for this highest elective office,
rather than leaving such choices to "the party
bosses in smoke filled rooms at national conven-
tions." The plan was in fact, part OF a
progressive movement of that period for popular
control of government
Several States enacted primary laws in the first
decade of the century, with Oregon in 1910 being
the pioneer to provide not only for the public
election of convention delegates but also for
expression of public preference among the
announced presidential candidates. Several
other States followed this path and in 1912 both
the Democratic and Progressive Party platforms
contained national primary planks President
Wilson subsequently advocated Federal legisla-
ton to implement the Democratic plank and bills
we're introduced to conform. The question Of

It was common practice in that place

This gave the merry fellows in gray

Soon they were at it again, and the

were mice that couldn't be stopped.

words would have set them to thinking.

Who were these candidates who, as
Barkley charged. had sold out the genial

its machinery? Was it true that the

was publicly proclaiming to the world
and especially to the Republicans that
he was the victim of a sinister con-
spiracy within the ranks of Democrats?
Given the news, and the details, of what
the Vice President had said, given the
time to ponder it and talk about it,
would it have occurred to the delegates
to take another and a colder look at
proposition to split the Democratic
Party-a proposition emerging from the
same area in which Mr.. Barkley
smelled evil conspiracy? Perhaps not.
But if the tired delegates woke up this
morning with disturbed feeling that
perhaps they went too far and too fast
in the pre-dawn hours, it was not sur
prising. But it may not be important,
either. Some time during the day they

will have another opportunity to decide
whether they want to make permanent
the new purge rule temporarily adopted
by voice votes. In all probability they
will vote again as they did last night.
For the votes are there, and that is the
way the leaders are telling them to vote.
The immediate question now is the
process to be followed by the Creden-
tials Committee, as it calls the roll
beginning perhaps today-of the dele
gates to the Democratic National Con-
vention of 1852 and in some way asks
each of them to "give assurance
that he will exert every honorable means
available to him in any official capacity
he may have, to provide that the nomi-
nees of the convention for President and
Vice President appear on the election
ballot under the heading, name or des-
ignation of the Democratic Party"
No one knows just how this pledge
is to be exacted. But it will be impress
sive. Those who do not give the pledge
will not be seated. And to unseat so
many, one by one, will be a colorful
ceremony not unlike the repeated thud
OF the guillotine-moving up and down
on separate necks. Or the delegates
under sentence may prefer to unseat
themselves. B. M. MeKeIwoy

Fools Paradise

Would that there were some great
writer Oike John Milton Of Paradise
Lost") to epicize the present condition
of the United States and such of the
world as it has been able to direct and
to confuse!
I note that one Of your headlines
reads: "CIO Fears Recession in SO II
Buying Power Doesn't Keep Pace" This
is most provoking statement to ema-
nate from that source when we note
that they have been for weeks doing all
they can to destroy conditions which
would tend to keep things going. After
forcing four raises in their wages, and
although seeing that wage raises are
not the answer to our problems, they
still, in the midst Of chronic war con-
dition, stop production Of one Of the
basic materials, and yet make great
show and parade Of their patriotism.
This can be done only with either the
connivance or tacit consent or approval
of those in political power. There will
never be stabilized economic condi-
ton in this country as long as these So
called labor union leaders are able to
defy the law Of economics, which is as
inexorable as any other natural law.

This is rather bad on some nerves,

After all. one doesn't meet up with
snake every day, but q mouse is an
everyday occurrence in some households.
Mice have q nasty way of rtStling
through wastepaper baskets. although
what they find there in tidy households
is unknown. Perhaps no house can be
called 100 per cent tidy with mice in it.
We recall the mice that frolicked
nightly in an old apartment we once
lived in on Lanier place, right on the
corner Of Ontario place, We believe it
was.
That was a long time ago.
The kindly man who rented us the
apartment is now gone from this strange
world. He was always aware Of its
strangeness, and rejoiced in it. May
God bless and keep him where he has
gone.

Municipal Court Staff

An item in the estimated budget for the
Municipal Court reflects an administrative prob
lem that ought to be solved without further de-
lay. Once again the judges Of the busy court
have joined in urging that they be given
clerical staff commensurate with the administra-
tive workload. The request is justified. The work
of the court is being seriously hampered by the
inadequacy of the staff available for handling
the administration of 1s-judge court.
Chief Judge Barse complained of this in
adequacy in his recent letter announcing desire
to retire from the tribunal. Insufficiency of the
courts staff, in fact, was one factor in Judge
Barses decision not to seek reappointment. He
had found that his administrative duties had
been so increased as q result Of the courts
growth that he had little time for his judicial
responsibilities. Yet every effort to obtain more
help had met with frustrating defeats.
Although the court has been enlarged by
three judges, no corresponding enlargement Of
the administrative force has taken place. The
clerks staff today is the same strength as 1t was
six years ago. when the workload was about half
what it is today. Judge Barse asked for Is ad-
ditional workers last year, but the request was
thrown out of the budget by the Commissioners,
for economy reasons. The chief Judge renewed
the request in his annual report. Now, having
been forced to continue on the bench because
of failure of the Senate to act on the nomination
of a successor, Judge BarSe has made a modest
request for only eight additional employees. It
would be nisdirected economy to deny the court
any longer the help 1t needs to do It's Job ef-
fectively. q

constitutionality was raised about national
legislation, however, and no action was taken
in the Congress.
In the succeeding years there has been a
continuance Of the hodgepodge pattern Of State
primary laws-some Of them enacted, amended
or repealed primarily for the purpose of suiting
the circumstances Of local political control. AS
now operative the primary system provides a
measure of candidate popularity in some States
but in relatively few cases is binding even upon
the convention delegations--leaving the choice
still in the hands of the bosses and the bargainers
at convention time.
While either constitutional amendment to
permit direct primaries or legislation to permit
Federal Subsidization of uniform State primary
system might constitute genuine improvement
in our procedures of choosing President, it is
the sort Of reform unlikely to arouse much
favorable congressional pressure after the period
of campaign declarations is over.

Democratic Crockup

There was perhaps a certain inevitablty
about the rupture in the Democratic Party that
took form last night when the so-called COM
promise party loyalty resolution was railroaded
through the convention.
Over the past 20 years the theological gulf
between the Southern Democrats and the rest
Of the party has been steadily widening The
controlling faction in the party took the position
that the votes of minority groups in key North
ern and Eastern States were more important to
party success than the votes of the Southern
States. And, until now at least, they have
counted on the political prejudice that arose out
of the Civil War to hold the South in line.
But the loyalty resolution" assuming its
adoption as a permanent rule, can well mean
that this incompatible political alliance has run
its course. It is hard to see how the delegates
from most, if not ALL of the eight Southern
States can subscribe to the loyalty" pledge
And if they refuse to subscribe, they are auto
matically barred from the party under the terms
Of the resolution.
1t may we'll be that the Fair Dealers planned
1t this way. Certainly there have been hints
from time to time in the past that they would
be willing to cut loose from the South and stake
their political fortunes on an appeal based on an
all-out civil rights stand and on a clear-cut
denial of the States rights argument.
Time will tell whether this attitude was the
product of political wisdom or political stupidity
There is much reason to believe that the latter
is the case If this rupture becomes final, how
ever, it can be a blessing in disguise for the
South and for the Nation. form of political
slavery based on dead tradition is an evil
thing when it precludes an effective two-party
system in so large segment of the Nation.
If the final result of this business should be the
opening of the South to the Republican Party,
or even the establishment of a workable indie
pendent party the end result can be good for
our political system.
