observation that the majority
of newspapers in this area are
constantly striving to obtain
the maximum in appearance
and presentation.
Newspapers are performing
an essential service in a man

of all of us in the reading pub

formational and entertaining

THE GAME OF POLITICS
The Democratic Party Split
BY FRANK R. KENT

the somewhat feverish activi-
ties Of the Messrs. Butler and
Mitchell along the Ike must
be destroyed" line has had
three definite and not ct all
anticipated results. One Of
these was to reveal that the
split" in the Democratic
party which gave Mr.. Eisen-
hover in 1852 three States and
several million votes in the
South still exists. Largely this
is due to the genius of Mr..
Mitchell for disunity. In sew
eral recent speeches he an
nounced that the efforts of
himself, young F. D. Roosevelt.
jr., and others to impose q
loyalty oath" upon the dele
gates from the South In 1852
would not be renewed. How
ever. he added, mentioning
the names of Gov. Shivers of
Texas. Gov. Kennon Of Louisi-
ana and Gov. Byrnes of South
Carolina, that delegates from
these States would not be per-
united to take their seats If
they had failed to support the
party nominee (Mr. Steven
SOM in 1852. At first Mr..
Butler seemed to support this
punitive proposal, but later,
after it had been vigorously
denounced by Senator Byrd
and others. appeared to retreat
from it-though not very far.
Chairman Not Popular
A second result was in the
anything but startling dis
closure that neither Mr.. But
Ter nor Mr.. Mitchell is popular
in the Democratic Party either
personally or politically. This
was evinced by the almost
total lack of favorable re-
spouse to their suggestions.
Senator Byrd, as has been said,
expressed himself forcefully as
unfavorable. Gov. Shivers, aft
er a conference with Mr.. But
Ter. fiatly declared that If Mr..
Stevenson was renominated he
would again not vote for him.
Nothing as yet has been heard
from Gov. Byrnes, but If any
one thinks he is quietly going
to permit Mr.. Mitchell or any
one else to lay down the con-
dition under which he can take
his seat in a Democratic con-
vention. they know little about
Mr.. Byrnes. Not even Gov.
Hartman, as Arthur Krock
points out. could be persuaded
to say he thought it a good
idea. /
The third and final result
(and this was one altogether
unforeseen and most unwel-
come by the propagandists)
was to make 1t clear that their
candidate, Mr.. Stevenson. is
not going to be drafted" in
the next convention. If he
wants 1t this time he has got
to get out and fight for it.
That Is what the boys Say
and they say 1t like they
mean It,

Our attitudes often have q
close relationship to our en-
vironment. The ideas that
dominate us depend to a large
degree not only on what we
are but where we are. Whether
they are our next-door neigh
bors or half a world away, we
see others through the lenses
of our own interests, our
privileges and our prejudices.
1t recently was said about a
columnist whose comments on
contemporary affairs are read
by a multitude of Americans:
ION any subject, he is always
sure that he is right, and that
there is no other point of view
worth considering" In the
very same issue of a great
daily in which was found that
criticism of one mans opinion
there was a long statement
from one who was born in
India and has spent most of
his life there. 1t was a plea
not that America should al
ways agree with midas policies
as she deals with her teeming
millions of human beings,
feeling the ferment of new
aspirations and determine
tons. but that she should at
least try to see things through
her eyes. 1t was an almost
pathetic appeal of one who
now loves America, not that
we should underwrite his
country's viewpoint but that
We should understand it.
X X u x
Even when we understand
certain policies, we may be
dead against them. But, at
least, we ought not to de-
nounce until we have made an
honest effort to understand.
AS one has put it:

Men stoo often are busy
building a wall around their

a path to the place where their

OF setting up the supreme

need to view the world from

Some helpful advice to college grad
yates is contained in an open letter which
Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell has
directed to the estimated 264,000 young
men and women who will receive their
college diplomas within few weeks.
Noting the high pace of business &C
tivity, Mr. Mitchell points out that job
opportunities are plentiful-while the
number of graduates is lower than in any
recent year. At the same time. he en-
phasizes that this is an age of specialists
and that a college degree is only step
toward the further education and training
needed in the most essential professional
skills. Certainly this is a timely reminder,
as both Government and private enterprise
search for the great number OF young
people needed to carry on the research
and the operations manifestly vital to
the national security, to the public health
and to the prosperity of the country.
Mr.. Mitchell outlines the opportunity
picture in his letter-specifying some of
the professions and sciences that are most
in need of the inquiring minds and the
demonstrated talents of college graduates
He informs them, too, of how State and
Federal agencies, as we'll as private ones,
can help in guiding them to their next
phase of education in living. 1t is, on the
whole, IN unusual gesture, and one which
should be of value to the country and
to the individuals concerned.

FIFTY YEARS AGO IN THE STAR
" No City offers More"

NO City -. OmerS More"
On May /. 1905, The Star
quoted the New York Tribune
as follows: washington now
with a population of more
than 278,718 stands fifteenth
in the list of our great
cities. In 1890 it stood
thirteenth. Detroit and Mil
waukee both passed it in 1900,
Detroit's total going to 285.704
and Milwaukee's to 285,315.
These two western cities are
still gaining population rapidly,
and they may hold their own
against Washington in 1910.
But New Orleans-now twelfth
in ranks in some danger of
being outgrown by all three.
New Orleans population in
1900 was 287, 104, and it's per-
centage of growth from 1890
to 1900 was only 1876. Unless
that growth is greatly accel-
Grated, New Orleans will fall
to fifteenth place and Wash
ington will rise to fourteenth.
Evidently the charms of the
Federal Capital as a place of
residence are beginning to
make themselves felt. No city
in the United States offers
more to its inhabitants and
very few offer so much. The
natural growth Of the Federal
Government insures a steady
and splendid development to
the Capital. and that develop
ment will continue to attract
population, If it does not di-
rectly encourage manufacture
ing and general business" Half
a century later, Washington is
ninth in the roster of American
cities with a population in ex-
cess of 802,178 Gas reported in
the census of 1850, while De-
troit is fifth, Milwaukee thir-
teenth and New Orleans twen-
ty-second.
Gorgeous Circus Spectacle
The Star for May 16, 1905.
reported: 1.-THE youngsters of
Washington were in their glory
yesterday and today for the
reason that the circus is in
town After the orchestra
had rendered the first part of
the program the perform
ance opened with an elaborate
spectacle. The Field of the
Cloth of Gold About 300 per-
sons are engaged in the pro-
duction, which vividly embodies
in changing scenes the meeting
Of Francis I of France and
Henry VIII of England, to-
gether with the flower of the
nobility. the ecclesiastics, the

military Of the period to con-
summate a treaty for the
maintainence of the peace of
Europe. The meeting and all
its multitude of details were
arranged by Cardinal Wolsey
and occurred on the plains of
Andres. France, in June 1920
and eclipsed in magnificence,
pomp and splendor any similar
event In the history of the
world The production of
the Ringing Brothers of this
magnificent spectacle is much
applauded. At the conclusion
OF the Field Of the Cloth OF
Gold the three rings and two
stages were at once occupied
with performers. The ele-
plants surprised the 10000
people in attendance by their

mouths, but with open minds.
There are facts and reasons
in any situation which are not
within reach of our own dog
matte easy chairs.
Gen. Gordon frequently spoke
of the sovereign duty of creep
ing under the other mans skin.
There is no duty more impera-
tive in these desperately cru
cial times, with all their cyni-
cism. than just that-clothing
oneself with the other mans
skin and seeing the world
through his eyes. That atti-
tude is the chief need of the
world. 1t is the only hope of
the world. It underlies the
fundamental idea of the Unit
ed Nations. 1t is the desperate
hope of the meeting of world
leaders at the summit" The
VI uC1d1 4CAAl1 CAAECAt dt ouIAA
a meeting must be: "Camou-
f1age aside, let us all tell the
world what are our aims" The
West will say, What do you
want? We want to understand
your global viewpoint. We are
eager to give frank answers
as to ours. We want to UNDER
stand what it is you fear, what
1t is you are after"
An understanding of the
ruling passion of others, If
that purpose is sincere and
fair to all, is the one bridge
between the factions and the
only balm for the frictions Of
these suspicious days.

who had made up his mind
