Easily Satisfied
The greatest man in the world is the fellow who
can knock a baseball the farthest in the minds of
the American people. More people listen in on a
game than on a gathering of kings, queens, popes, and
potentates. It is just the thing that satisfies the folks
in this country. We have no special need for scien
tists, statesmen, or preachers. Good ball players sat
isfy us.
Shouse’s New Attitude
Jouett Shouse, who was largely in charge of the
Democratic party during the past four years, is now
using his office as president of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment in trying to defeat Wil
liam Gibbs McAdoo for the United States Senate in
California, and is making an effort to deliver the wet
Democratic vote to the Republican candidate, Tal
lant Tubbs.
Nobody has ever suspected Mr. Shouse of having
any political principles that were higher than a liquor
jug. We wonder if he will be read out of the Demo
cratic party or will he be permitted to desecrate it in
drunkenness.
Time For a Combination
Franklin D. Roosevelt is apparently about to di
vorce the Western Republicans from those of the
east. The grounds are good, because the West has
been overworked and underfed.
The special laws for the protection of the East have
proven of very little advantage to the West.
Now is the time for a South-West political combina- i
tion, one that will demand fair laws governing the
business structure of this country to the end that
everybody and every business may enjoy equal ad
vantages.
One Element Not Needed
It is to be hoped that Governor Roosevelt is mak
ing no overtures to Tammany. It will be too hard
to please Tammany and help the people, too. ^
If the East Side dive in New York City wants a
common grafter like Jimmy Walker to rule over them
we have no grounds for complaint. But let Jimmy
Walker keep his hands out of decent politics, or he
will defile them and sell them out.
A Privilege All Are Entitled To
The Socialist Party will have electors on the na
tional ballot in this state in November, as the party
succeeded in getting a petition signed by more than
10.000 voters.
There is no reason why they should not be entitled
to have their electors printed on the ballot, since
there are a fairly good number of people in the state
who vote that ticket, and they should have a free
chance to vote as they wish in this democratic state.
Xo democracy had the right to crowd out a minority,
and if they do the minority may grow to be the ma
jority party some day.
Josephus Daniels’ Tribute to F. D.
Austin (Texas) American.
Josephus Daniels has been one of the outstanding
leaders and editors of North Carolina for 40 years.
He has attended every national convention of the
Democratic party since the crown of thorns and cross
of gold speech of Bryan in 1896. He was an adviser
and right-hand man of Woodrow Wilson for eight
years. He was the Secretary of the Navy who made
history in the dark days of the World War. He con
tributes to the current number of the Saturday Eve
ning Post a remarkable story of the life and public
services of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is really the
best contribution to the Democratic cause that has
appeared since the nomination of Roosevelt by the
Chicago convention. It should be read by all Demo
crats as well as all voters of independent minds. It
is worth while from forelines to finish. It tells the
story of the protection of the naval oil reserves by
outstanding personages and the looting of the oil re
serve after Woodrow Wilson had been retired to pri
vate life. It tells of Roosevelt, the man of sterling
qualities, high American patriotism, and his love for
justice for all men, his sincere sympathy for those
who need a helping hand, and his ideals and policies
of government from his entrance into public service
until the present hour. Incidentally, there is a tribute
to Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, who trailed
the looters to their lair, wrho forced them to disgorge,
and who was instrumental in sending Albert B. Fall
to the penitentiary for his crimes against the Ameri
can people. Josephus Daniels is one of the outstand
ing leaders of America. He is one of the outstanding
Democratic regulars of the South. He is a man of the
people. He worked his way from a printer’s devil to
a high pinnacle and his record as a public servant
has never been surpassed by any American who clas
sified himself as a Democrat.
