The Future Of The Democratic Party New York World. The attempt to forecast the fu ture of the Democratic party is idle speculation, and responsible leaders of the party will be well advised not to rush into print with prophecies, declarations, recriminations. Four years are a long time in the history of a party, and What is said now in a mood of depression or elation can have very little value. What is needed now is a clarification of mind, and to that end we suggest t ntatively the following considera tions: 1. 1928 was a landslide in the electoral college slightly but not much larger than 1912. 2. The Democratic party polled a larger proportion oi the popular vote this year than in 1904, 1920 or 1P24 and only a slightly smaller proportion than in 1908 and 1912. 3. There will be two parties in u e United States. 4 Almost certainly they will be celled the Republican and Demo ciatic parties. 6. A party which polls at least 40 per cent of the popular vote is not negligible. 7. A party with*at least 12.000,000 votes in the pivotal states is not negligible. 8. A party which has more than 75 per cent of its popular strength outside the old solid south will have > consider the wishes of that 75 per cent. 9. Events hi the next few years rather than wishes and opinions to* y will set the issues and reveal the leaders. In the mean time we suggest to the 12,000,000 Democrats outside of the south that they study and re member the gallant fight of the •outhern leaders and southern newspapers vho vindicated the best .radit.ions of this country. We know if no nobler episode in American politics than the sustained and bril liant struggle conducted by the dry Protestants of the south against bigotry and fanaticism. They fac 'd odds which would have daunted nil but the bravest find most hon orable men. The world for its part does not know how to pay them adequate tribute. Lutherans To Have School For P?.«tors (Special Lo The Star.) The committee charged with the responsibility of arranging for a school of pastors has not simply marked time since its election and appointment may 15, 1928. Three meetings have been held; one in Hickory, one in Rock Hill, and one in Columbia. A curriculum attrac tive and full of value has been out lined, and an able faculty has been elected. This school is to be held in the Lutheran Theological Southern sem inary. Columbia, S. C . beginning Thursday, May 16, 1929, with for mal opening on Wednesday night, following the annual commence ment in the morning of May 15, continuing through the following Thursday. The idea of a pastor's school is not entirely new, ( the Lutheran synod of S. C. having sponsored such a school for two years, through the efforts and support of a few' prominent laymen of that synod,) but this is the first time the school is to be held under the auspices of the alumni association of the Theo logical seminary. While this school is definitely authorized and spon sored by the alumni association, it is hoped that every pastor within the territory of the Southern-semin ary will avail himself of the oppor tunity offered. Watch for the complete program to be given later, and plans for eight' days of delightful benefits. REV. N. D. YOUNT. Secy. "To Those In Flanders Held." (By Lloyd Mauney.) Ir. Flanders field the soldiers sleep Beneath the poppies red, They gave their lives that we might keep Old Glory over head; In battle lines they gave their all That we might thus be free, Oh worthy ones that suffered thus Our hearts are still with thee. In Flanders field the crosses stand Against the azure sky, They stand as one against the sun To those that had to die; Beneath the sod the soldiers rest In sleep of sweet respose, While all around the earth is crown ed With glory of the rose. In Flanders field the guns are quiet Beneath the glowing sun, Their work of death and work of On earth is already done; The fields are drapped in silence there In tribute to those that died, The Holy Master of the world Keeps vigil at their side. In Flanders field the dove of peace Spreads its wing of love, The noise of strife and surging life Are lifted far above; The years may drift along Time's path And peace or war both yield. But our minds will turn forever j back To those in Flanders field. TRY STAR WANT ADS. | Around Our Town - Shelby Sidelights - .— With Renn Drum --—.-. JUST BY WAY OF GETTING ! started, we notice that in the ft* ! nancial report of an uptown church I in Shelby $40.16 is listed in tne cash disbursements to the credit of "bad checks.’’ Now, whaddya Know about giving the parson his pay with a bad check? Who in the heck said the world was getting better? THE ABSENCE OF THIS COL yum apparently was not noted dur i ing the campaign excitement, but i now that there are no wild tales | to tell about Herb and A1 it ap pears as if one or two folks, any way. would welcome this space fill er back. As proof we present the following f letter, written on the stationery of i the Cleveland Springs hotel: ■‘Now’ that the election is over and you have time to observe the | things that are happening locally, ! let me suggest that while Bruno Lessing is all right, Dr. Copeland’s ' health talks are instructive, and ! the comic strips are funny—all of which have added greatly to The Star—still I can't say that I en \ joy any of them as much as I do 'Round the Town Stuff.” They lack the at-home atmosphere, and be sides it's hard to keep up with you in your ramblings tHow's that?). I think that a fellow of your type should account for the time he’3 putting in. (Note: The discarded brown derby perhaps can explain). "So. let's have it back. That old home town stuff is best after all. Yours, etc., “J. D. L.” Thanks. Here we are, for the vacant columns yawn like the Grand Canyon just after an elec tion. T SPEAKING ABOUT THAT election business, do you remem ber that Just a week or so back the ! political scandal-mongers were yelping because Hoover had spent I most of his life in some other coun try, arid because there was some body who could see A1 Smith was drunk every time he hove into sight. Such stories were told here in Shel by, y'know. Now that it is over the announce ment comes that President-elect Hoover is going to visit South Amer ica, the only coyntry he has never been in, and nobody cares enough to say anything about it. Likewise, with the election gone for a week not a soul has reported seeing Gov. A1 all "lit up.’’ Now, isn't that funny? Looks as if they howled so much about Hoov er going abraoad before the elec tion they would raise cain sure enough now that he is going off again just as soon as he is elected. And if a man ever needed "a shot or two” it seems as if A1 would after that licking, yet no one has seen him “all lickered up” since. Such Is, or are, politics. BY THE WAY HAVE YOU tried to drive from one traffic light to the other with the green signals an since the changing time has been cut down? If you have, and made it before the red light, you very near broke the speed limit. INCIDENTALLY, HAVE YOU noticed that each Saturday, as It comes tripping along toward Santa Claus, sees a new record crowd of shoppers in Shelby? Last Saturday along the shopping district could be seen autos with license plates from Forest City, Rutherfordton. Gaffney, Lincointon, Cliff side, Spindale, Kings Mountain and other points. You’ve heard that old saying about the world beating a path to the door of the man who ccould make a real mouse trap. Well, Shelby seem’s to be the mouse’s trap when it comes to shopping in this section these days. AMONG THE YOUNGER SET there is considerable interest in the announcement that “Ikey” (Harold) Griffin is coming home from Tur key for the holidays. The item makes one wonder how many changes have taken place in Shelby in the last year or so while he has been away. Those who stay in the old home town realize that changes are, and have been, taking nlace. But those of us who linger an soon get accustomed to the change, and in a week or so after a change everything looks just the same. On the other hand the fellow who spends just a month or so away from Shelby comes home to note that many things have hap pened while he w'as away. Haven’t you noticed it? As for the young fellow coming in from Turkey for the holidays (wonder if he will be wearing one of those peculiar fez caps?), Shelby will hardly look like the same place. Where old Central hotel was he will find a fine new building rapid ly taking shape. In that change, tragic as the recollection is, he will miss several familiar faces. And in between the old hotel and the new one there was another tragedy, and other faces that he will be miss ing. On every street in town will be a new business and new- business buildings that he never saw before he left. Out every residential street there will be new homes, and in several cases there will be en tirely new residential sections. Just sit down and go over in your mind every street in Shelby as it was a year and one-half ago. If you take time to do it, you’ll be sur prised at the change. "Ikey” will remember it as it was, and will see it as it is. Much water has passed over the mill wheel, wherever it is, since he left, and many new mounds have Best Dressed "The best dressed woman in England and the continent” is the title that belonged to Mrs, Joan Nash for several years.

He has ordered taxi drivers to remove the mirrors which they have been fastening on the in side of their windshields and with which they could watch their pass engers. Stamboul chauffeurs have become so absorbed in watching back-seat occupants that the num- | ber of traffic accidents has increas- I ed by leaps and bounds. The chauffeurs plead that the mirrors are needed against passeng ers who have a habit of .jumping out and running away without pay ing their fares and also against bandit clients. Consistent Winner.
