(StatesvUle Daily) Spring is gone but evidently the wigUulneso for an Utopia lingers on in the spirit of these questions propounded by The Oastonia ' Gasette: "Wouldn't It be a fine thing If every voter in the country could cast his ballot as he pleased with out being Influenced by surd heelers and professional politicians, who are paid by candidates to get out the vote? What sort. of an election would ws Rave if everybody voted as he pleased without suggestions, directions or compulsion from some one of the candidates? Will It ever be possible to have clean elections in tbis country? There Is little doubt thct the elections nowadays go to toe candidates who can hire the most jitneys to carry the voters to the polle, or hire the most workers who hang around the polls to 'help' voters with their ballots- Is there such a- thing as a man running on the strength of his character and record? 'We leave those questions with our realers. but that last one we want to undertake to answer our own elf. There is such a thing as a man "running" on the strength of his char aeter and record, but under the pres ant order; if he depends on tnat ?

The Land of Opportunity By RAYMOND PITCAIRN National Chairman Sentinels of the Republic ?? A great thinker once aid that every time he itood In the preeenee of a boy he wanted to take off his hat to the possibilities there represented. Much the same Idea must occur to countless Commencement Day orators as they address - this month the eager army of Arrferican youth being graduated from high schools and colleges throughout our Nation. For despite set-backs and discouragements, that thought applies to the young men and women of America today, as to the youth of no other nation on earth. It was for them?as for their predecessors?that America was established as the land of opportunity; a land where no aspiration could be too high, no achievement too great for the individual to attain by virtue of his own enterprise, his own courage, his own ability. That's why the men who made America wrote Into Its fundamental law a Bill of Rights which guarantees to. every man freedom of conscience, of speech and of opportunity. these newer governments ef Europe, where an lights are eaksrfllaatod to ths will at the man or the party la power, and white Intlvliwl eppeiloilHj wllh the press sad riMgten wh chstaw To ths youth of America has been bequeathed a priceless heritage of opi portunity. which unfavorable oonrtlttons I can delay, but must never destroy. It was won for them, often at heroic sacrifice, by the generations that out of a wilderness hewed our groat nation. It is theirs to use to the limit of their ability. Bat tt Is theirs she to pnosrvo for the generations that follow. Tbo future of AmeHca h not tn the hands ef an abstract fate. As always It h In the hands ef youth.
