" For reasons of his own. whether "t salary or other considerations, he yit' .ed to the im portunities of the President to be come comptroller, an appointment go< d tor lil'ti-en long years, and from which lie cannot be ousted except for high crimes <>r misdemeanors by the inipijchirent roiite. and to which he is by law ineligible to re-appoint ment at the end of that time. But fifteen years hence Lindsay Warren probably will have satisfied all ambitions he ever had of a political nature, and will be ready to return to Washington to live in quiet l'etire ment the rest of his days. He m; y not be the best qualified man in the nation for the office he has accepted, but he is in many respects eminently fitted for dis charge of the duties that devolve upon him. And there is no reason that we know of why he should not fill the office as acceptably as any man who has held it. —But vote Next Tuesday r- flection day in Vance co'inry. in N"<■: th Carolina, in the nation at largo. It is the occasion of the qi;adr< ruia! presidential bal loting. and all hand- everywhere who are eligible arc supposed to have a! voice in the .-el»>f officialdom• to serve for the next two or four years. The high' -t nrh ii"ge of a citizen ;n a democracy is that of exercising fhe ballot iri determining those who will hold office and in helping to decide the course of government. When a qualified voter fails or re-' »fuses to do that he is neglecting a sacred duty and in that secminglv insignificant, yet highly important, omission is contributing toward pos sible decadence and disappearance of the freedom guaranteed by a demo cracy. Whether we have willed it or not, or whether we wish it. issues at stake this time are vital to the republic. The outcome of the national election next Tuesday may have great bear ing on whether or not we go into the war. regardless of which can didate shall be successful. Most voters, we take it, have an idea in their own mind as to which course will be the wiser. If ever it were important that they should give ex pression to their convictions, this is that time. That man or woman who willingly stays away from the polls without unavoid: ble detention certainly has no right to complain about the course cf events and action of public offi cials. It he does not like what they do. he certainly can blame no one more than himself. One indi\ idual ballot rarely decides the outcome of an election, but millions of ballot? that will be cast will be nothing more nor le^s than Millions of individual votes. The local county ticket is of nc consequence except a. to the for nr:lity of voting men into ot'tiee Hero, where the outcome Ls always une-sielcel and overwhelming, tin decision was reached last May. I'.ut there is a State ticket as wel as national. And in all of these fields every qualified voter has the riglv to as much voice as any other per son -rich or poor, prominent 01 humble, influential or insignificant A vote is a vote, for a' that. So that on next Tuesday each ol ' | ii.-' has the right and the privilege of in-coming, for a day at least, a \ king <>i queuen. In this land tin | individual citizen is sovereign. Go to the polls, then. am", accepl the blessing for which thousands ol ' patriotic, red - blooded American.-' , have fought and died to vouchsafe to you. Vote as you please—but vote Government Pay J Skilled workers nro being called for t<» cio important work at army I posts, training camps, in ship yards j . iv! elsewhere. and the government ' is finding it ;i l>it more difficult to get them than might have been sup j p«>si'd. in view of the millions of pcr on« reputed to be without jobs and unable to get them. Because of this scarcity, labor of this type is at a ' premium and is able to comrftand fancy pay for its services, i " * These skilleo workers arc offered wages of from seven dollars to a reputed twelve dollars or more a day, with extra pay for overtime. And with it they have the right to go and come at will, when off duty, may j drop out if and when they desire. and may g.> to other more desirable ( connections. Now contrast the men in the re gular army, the National Guard and those from the conscription ranks, who will serve as long as the gov ernment requires their time, abilities and energies, at a dollar a day. un less they hold higher positions in •'•e organi >n. When they sign up they are in : a specified time and without the right or privilege to get out or to g<> where they will when they like. Of course thev receive , clothing, food :;nd all necessary per sonal services pertaining to their •.fa 1th. which is quite an item, and which, tends t.> equalize the dollars and cents consideration. Skilled workers serve unnoticed and without the distinction that at taches to military duty honorably done. Perhaps the government feels that is important. When the work man comes back home, he will not be met with a welcoming band and with ;! holiday declared in his honor. May be public service rates that ot an importance that money cannot buy. The soldier doubtless views it in that light, too. It is generally accepted as the standard of service par ex cellence. But the worker gets his seven to twelve dollars a day and the soldier get- his dollar. It is a contrast in bold relief, whatever else may be said of it. British warships have cruised a total of 500.000 miles in the Mediter ranean looking for Italy's navy, ac cording to the admiralty. Ha! Ha! The joke's on them—We hear Jl Duce's boats stayed in port all that time! The man at the next desk says a pretty girl must feel old-fashioned having her picture taken in a bath ing suit unless she is queen of some thing. Those propagandists in Rome and Berlin must be slipping. It's almost two weeks now since they last of fered us Canada and Bermuda. Woven wood, we read, will soon be cm the market. Now mother will be able to knit us a new dining room ti'ble. Those whose favorite football team is Army must be hoping that at least two dandy halfbacks and a good lot ol linemen were drafted. OTHERS VIEWS PRAISES ROOSEVELT To the Editor: I quote from page live the Durham ■ Sun Tuesday, October 29. 1940: J "NO THIRD TERM "North Carolina Democrats for j Willkie. '' "It will be said for a thousand ' years that October 23, 1940, was the " day that millions of Americans, re t gardless of party affiliations, or i ganized to defeat a third term fur »!any man." Let me first inform you that thcro is no such creature in North Caro "i iina as Willkie Democrat. s Also please be advised that it will be said for the next two thousand r;years that the only time in the his t tory of this country that we did not s have any government was in tin n Harding and Hoover administration. ".The government is supposed to be "it'or the people, and by the people. yjAnd here is what was for the peo e pie in Hoover's administration, long 1 hour;, low wages, sweat shops, de f pr jsion, bank failures, mortgage : jreclosures on farms and homes ,t Hoover carts, overalls without pock "jets, short school terms, forty dollar , per montii school teachers, low price i farm products, soup kitchens and o'bread lines, eggs six cents a dozen -'sweet potatoes twenty-five cents ,s (jUbDLtlO novou SF.EVGT t SES- _ e^aiTo? v^EAW. 1 But LOOK I IS LQQKIN! iirliel. corn a dollar and a half a barrel I. and that my friends was by the t»i-publican admmstralion ol gov |L mncnt for the people.

And sad but true the glorio;;.- heros of W:isini was routed from under the vet\ sitadows of the flag that they so gloriously followed to victory oii the western front, Wilson's heroes were turned into Hoover hoboes.

And as for third term stuff that does :u>t make any difference as long as a man is efficient, that ;s what the people want, as for Jefferson and Washington's traditions that was in their day bul this is another day. The people don't want traditions, they want business and prosperity. It was a tradition in Hoover's ad ministration for every body to be broke. It was a tradition for every body to work for nothing, it Wi-tS 11 tradition to be hungry and ragged: it was a tradition for farmers to sell their crops and get nothing; it was tradition for their homes and farm to be sold under mortgage fore closure when they were in a help less condition without any hcip from me fivenimum. n ii n ..v.. for t farmers and their loved ones to work all the year and be .sold out and turned out homeless and penny less. It was a tradition in I860 for human beings to be separated from their husband and children and put up and sold to the highest bidder like cattle. God forbid such tradi tions. Suppose all the railroads would turn off all of their engineers that had been in service four years and put green men at the throttle. What would be the consequences? Why they would wreck the trains as fast as the Republican party would wreck the country if they get in power. Once you have been cured of a ter rible disease would you ex nose yourself to the same disease again? t would hardly think so.

Chalk will i love his job as head of North Caro lina's Game and Inland Fisheries division of the Department of Con servation and Development. Reason is that it will add further : ;lo the feeling that Chalk invited a fight over control of the game in jiv.l'onal forest areas when no fight was necessary. It would have been ■ ••ill righl if Chalk had won, but the | courts held that the Federals have | complete jurisdiction, and so the state lost the share it had in a pro | gram which could have been made | to go along very smoothly on a co i operative basis. j At least, that's the reason of those who want to see Mr. Chalk ousted i | for one reason or another. He hung ionto his post through the Hoey ad ! ministration only because Director ' Bruce Etheridge of the C. and D. de- j ipartment went to bat for him when i ' the governor wanted to hand the gi me and fish job to Cutler Moore as payment for the Robeson man's work in the two famous primaries of 11936. . Under the old plan of operation for the forests, there was an annual deer i hunt in Pisgah from which the state j derived considerable revenue through ^alc of special hunting licenses. Now ; I the Fods have decided they'd rather : | trap the deer and ship them to other ! I forests than .have the annual hunts (effect the decimation necessary to ! keep the animals from damaging | property surrounding the forest | areas. j Chain's going to be blamed for los- i i ing the revenue pnd for loss to the •sportsmen of the annual hunt which j was quite a feature for many of I them.
