State and County Newspaper) THE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY After all, this American Democracy of which we hear so much must be pretty effective. : Half a century ago two boys were growing up, in poverty, on opposite sides of the continent. In Oregon an orphan named Herbert Hoover was helping his uncle in a real estate office and facing, apparently, a lifetime of hard toil and obscurity. In New York another fatherless lad named Alfred Smith was selling papers to help support his widowed had @ treat China as an equal. Meanwhile the other European nations followed the old policy. They maintained fleets and garrisons in China. They maingained their own courts there, set le certain quarters of Chinese cities for their own use, and maintained a high and mighty attitude in every respect. That, they agreed, was the way to deal with the Chinese. Then came the turmoil of revolution. And now read these sentences fromethe magazine article: “The British concession in Hankow was seized and kept; Bri American and French women and chil- dren evacuated the town. Property of these national- ities, as well as of the Japanese, was destroyed in Nanking. So far as these nationalities were con- cerned business virtually ceased all the way up the Yangtze from Nanking to Ichang and trade was seriously curtailed. “At the same time, however, the Germans carried on. In all the centers where revolution raged German Property was not molested and German residents were not harmed. ... German firms in Hankow continued to operate after all other foreign firms had suspended.” The writer gces on to remark that while British and Japanese merchant ships were being fired on daily in the Yangtze river, German ships invariably were al- lowed to go by unmolested. There is a lot of food for thought in that article. The nations that used force on China have seen their trade shrink and will see it shrink more as time goes on. The Germans, who did not use force, have reaped the benefit. Force, obviously, has failed. Nations—and people—who cannot be dissuaded from force by the argument that it is morally wrong may eventually give it up when they learn that it is worse than useless. y FRENCH POLITICS AND RAIN It seems there is quite a difference between the French and the Americans. France held elections the other day, and politicians were hoping for rain. If election day was rainy, they mother. The streets were his school; one would have said that his prospects were among the dimmest. This fall one of these two—Herbert Hoover or Alfred Smith—will be elected president of the United States. The two boys who had to start making their own way while yet in their ‘teens have reached the top. One or the other of them will, within a year, occupy the highest place that an American citizen can attain. Our Democracy, after all, must be a pretty real thing when that can be true. The rise of the poor boy to the heights—the old story, “From the log cabin to the White House”—is one of our most cherished traditions. It symbolizes the equality of opportunity that we have been taught to prize above everything else. And we are justified in so regarding it. For it is the faith that justifies our works. It is the outward, visible symbol‘of an inner, spiritual grace, to drop into the old phraseology of the churchmen. It is a sign that however much injustice and inequality ‘we may have in our country, however much poverty and discouragement and frustrtion may rest upon some segments of our population, the way is still open. Not yet have we solidified into castes. Not yet have we grown old and cautious and calculating. Not yet have we surrendered to the notion of @ ruling class, rich and well born. There are those who see in our growing industrial-| ization, in the ever increasing accumulation of wealth, a sign that this old avenue of opportunity is to end. Yet while we lean more and more on the machine, on the power of finance, on far-flung bigness in busi-| ness, industry and politics, by the same token individ- ual ability is becoming more highly prized than ever, We need capable men now more than ever before, anJ ‘we are trying harder than ever to find them. When one arises—a product of poverty and hard work, like Hoover, Smith, Henry Ford, the Fisher brothers—he is heaped with power and honors. Much remains to be done, of course. But for the present we can be encouraged. The great old tradi- tion is still flourishing. The two nominations of last month prove it. THE BEAUTY OF TODAY The city of Rheims has been largely rebuilt. The great cathedral that was shattered by German shells is now something like its former self. The surround- ing houses of the old French town have been restored’ to their old appearance. The scars of war are being removed. The beauty of Rheims once made the place a magnet for travelers from all over the world. When news- papers, during the war, announced that that beauty was being obliterated by high explosives, the world felt a pained astonishment. It was hard to realize that; the loveliness which men had spent long centuries in perfecting could vanish overnight, ripped apart by snub-nosed little cylinders of lyddite and TNT. Yet that is the way things are, and, all too often, the lost beauty cannot be repaired afterward as Rheims is being repaired. The world is a rough place, and men are careless. Beauty is fragile, easily de- stroyed. Sooner or later all beautiful things—build- ings, poems, actions, melodies—disappear. Only the memory apd the inspiration of them remain. But, perhaps, things could not well be ordered any other way. We need to make our own beauty. If we could bask all our lives in the aura of the fine things other men did and made we might not bestir our- selves. If the music of Orpheus had been preserved, | The what need would Beethoven and Wagner have had for| thi: self-expression? . If the glory of heroic lives like Paul, Spinoza, Joan of Arc and Washington did not grow dim, might we not forget to be brave and virtuous and altruistic ourselves? m Also there is this to think of. The brutal ruthless- a negs of the world compels us, to our own lasting bene- fit, to take advantage of beauty while we have it instead of living too much in the future. Do you have, in your own life, something extremely precious and lovely—some such thing, for example, as love, creative work, @ quiet home? Then cherish it with all. your soul; some day, for all your watchfulness, the world may take it away from you. Do net look too much to the future. You get your happiness here and now. The finer a thing is the more perishable it must be. To face that fact frankly is to feel the essential tragedy of life, but it also is to be self-sufficiont and Prepared. A LESSON ON FORCE - The sooner the world learns the great lesson, that force is one. explained, the people would vote; if it were bright and shiny, too many of them would take an outing in the country and would not go near the polls. In this country all of this is reversed. A rainy day keeps the vote down; but if there is sunshine, people flock to the polls in great numbers. This striking contrast probably has some deep significance regarding the national characteristics of the two peoples. But, what is it? THE PENNY MATCHES At any cigar store or drug store you can buy a little box of matches for a penny. Offhand it would almost seem as if these were merely® sold as a con- venience; one would hardly suppose that the manu- facture of penny matches was a great undertaking. Yet the Department of Commerce rev that in 1927 there were 18 match manufacturers in the United States, doing a gross business of $24,785,885. These plants employed nearly 4,000 men, and paid out up- wards of $4,000,000 in wages during the year. This hardly compares with the industrial giants, of course. But it is a safe bet that the business is far larger than most of us ever imagined. | Editorial Comment | POLITICS AND THE FAMILY (Duluth Heraid) Mrs. Clem L. Shaver, a Democrat, in a statement issued in Washington yesterday repudiated the Dem- ocratic candidate for president. She said that “we dry Democratic women will not support the dripping wet ticket and joke platform named by the Tammany delegates at the recent convention at Houston.” Moreover, she intimates that Tammany can have no logical complaint of this repudiation, for Tammany has sup; the national ticket when it suited Tam- many’s local purposes, and not otherwise. That's interesting, but it is still more interesting to note that the husband of this outspoken woman Dem- ccrat is the chairman of the Democratic national committee. It is very plain that no means all women kee] their politics 4 their NusBande’ names. . OLD MEMORIES (Hartford Courant) Pleo noted a few days ago the death of ran!

Young men as well as young women read it, the former, though, only when light reading had become scarce. These occasions Were not infrequent between 1860 and 1870. Godey was the son of Louis Antoine Godey a who founded “Godey’s Lady’s Book” in 1830 and issued it for more than half a century, when it was absorbed by another publication. Until the Civil War was over it had the field to itself.

Here, in an impenetrable, walled playground of the rich, the ancient dowagers and aristocrats still hold the power that has been shorn from them in New York.

The speech in which Franklin Roosevelt presented here the name of Al Smith to the convention was a foretaste of the new day.

At any rate, he was the only nominating speaker at Houston whose talk eould be considered a sincere, well reasoned and well phrased statement which carried respect if not conviction as it was heard in the home. Other speakers inspired nothing but amusement, eontempt, or derision. High-flown orato: of thought made their y and thé who! ities seem childish.
