Returning to discussion of our American " ,ni <>f government as it existed until five sj\ years ago. we notice that a contem 1 <»i ii\ newspaper undertakes to present < president ot" (lie United States as the • \ecutive and as the head or leader i political party. This newspaper does • >t accept that view and does not believe • • ;s according to the views of the greatest , i>.l 1>« n: men w ho have held the office ot' ; adent ot" this republic. \ candidate for president may l»e re • !< >! for the time as the leader or head a political party. It* the candidate is « I'ited he becomes the president, not of a wic.d party, but of all the people of the I'uired States. That is something vastly JifJVrent to being the head of a political pa»*ty. Roosevelt is not the president of the !'• Liiocratic party alone, of the new deal pat*ty alone, or of ar.v other party. He is, • ought to be. the president of all the • ;'tical parties existing in this country. As it matter of law and of rectitude, he is not the president of any one class of citi 7"11.*. but is the president of all classes of citizens. \ow, as a matter of fad. ono of the •: rouges! indictments this newspaper Vings against Roosevelt is that he has V't'ii a class president, fie has ignored the !'•!>• i»> which ho proclaimed allegiance t candidate for president: threw two its national platforms into the ash can ;> d forgot promptly all his pre-election ? :omi^ts; surrounded himself with men in ii i pointive positions who are known not to b»: Democrats; and has loudly proclaimed Jus independence in voting. His position 1 these matters is not one that can be • proved in its entirety, we believe, by a hw ity «>f tln^ country's citizens: but Mr. r p!t a class president has mad« ' - !(.nuc: t and most dangerous.departure h tu \merican principles and policies. Hi* administration has been the most narked of any in the history of the nation »>\ otoss division, class hatred, and efforts tf> divide the population of the country 1 'ig elav.s lines and to array class against Koosevelt hits proved conclusively • iiio actions, regaidless of his words, that he has endeavored to be the president of ertain dashes and that he was out to ar ray the mighty power of th° central gov f-nment against ceitain other classes, in an effort to crush and destroy them. «>t' course, nothing could be more un •< asonable, unfair, indefensible under our •tern of government, or could more defi nitely and roundly merit the severest con •! mnation of patriotic Americans than this course of the president. Thw newspaper takes the position that Roosevelt as president is not the active political head of a party. No man can track tiie federal constitution and the laws and keep the spirit and letter of the moral law, by attempting to be the president of a political party or of one or more classes of 'itizens. This is true no matter how great his majority may have been in an .election and regardless of any alleged /'mandate" he may hold from that ma \?nrity. The principle involved here is a asic principle of right in a free country. The president of the United States is the president of minorities as well as majori ties of voters: and he has a constitutional and moral obligation to treat minorities with consideration, to use his power to see that their rights are respected, that they are protected in all their rights as citizens. ' He has no right to seek to oppress or de stroy minorities. But, if the president is a partisan presi dent, seeking to servo exclusively the in terests of his party, he may easily become a tyrant and the oppressor of many of his fellow citizens, as has been so forcibly and unfortunately demonstrated by the Roose ! velt administration. In conclusion—lest some of our readers pret crossed in their understanding of The Times-News' opinions of political parties and public service—permit us lo say: We accept and believe in political par ties in ;i free country; in the right of e\ery honest citizen to choose his party and sup port it. That applies to candidates for president: nor do we believe that a man's party affiliation ceases if he is elected president; we d«» believe most earnestly that the attitude <»f the citizen elected president should t>e outlined in about this language : I am a Democrat and believe in the prin ciples and policies of the Democratic party. I was a candidate for this high office on the Democratic platform, which a majority of my fellow countrymen accepted and en dorsed by electing me. I am now the presi dent of all the people—not of one party, not of a particular class; my obligation and duty is to the nation and to the people as a whole—but I will be guided in serving my country by the principles and policies I professed in the campaign for election and | bv the declared principles of my party. This declaration means, emphatically, that all classes of citizens will be given a square deal, that the opinions and rights of minorities will be respected, that we d<» not regard our honest political opponents as unpatriotic, dangerous, destructive citi zens. With charity for all. with malice toward none, as president of ALL TUB PEOPLE. 1 will devote the influence and power and prerogatives of my high position to an earnest, honest effort to serve my country; not through political partisanrv, no1 by placing party interests ahead of national, welfare, not through stirring up class ha tred and strife in my country; but through a realization of the conviction that thej president ought to be a man big enough.' able enough, liberal enough in his views toj be the chief executive of every man. wo man and child in the country. That man will not consider himself the! partisan head of a party, bent on the total destruction and annihilation of all who disagree with him; called to boss and con trol co-ordinate departments of the gov ernment; demanding abject servitude from members and leaders of his own party: j prepared to go to the length of destroying! the American system of government to gain his ends and gratify his lust for power. | NEWSPAPERS* OPINIONS NO LOCAI. AFFAIR Georgia newspapers arc not the only ones in the South which have commented adversely <>n the president's intervention in the Georgia primary election campaign. The Observer of Charlotte,' North Carolina, devoted more than a column of its' editorial pace no Monday to an article under the I t | heading. "I Accept th*» Challenge," those word? that Senator Walter F. George utt^r^d to the presi , den* at Barnesville immediately after the latter' had called for the defeat of Senator George Th° I Observer says: "It is infinitelv more Hian a personal • hy.Menge "He mean^ not only that he proposes to hgh* ( hack at the president of the Irnited States for hi?, political honor and name as the latter ruthlessly • invades the senator's own back yard, viciously dis owns his democracy and orders hi? friends ar.d the , ! public of hi^ state to repudiate him as a public i servant. "Senator George is accepting a challenge for the 1 entire South. j "lie is accepting a challenge for the entire na | tion." These are strong words to come front a southern : newspaper, but. the provocation has been great j enough to overcome loyalties of long standing. The Observer sees that today's threat in Georgia ' might he repeated in North Carolina tomorrow. If senators and representatives are going to be chosen by the president and his intimate advisers, the practice will not he confined to one state. Mary land already knows that. New York has been warned. The Georgia campaign has ceased to be a j local affair.—New York Sun. BRICE'S WARNING Presiding over the gubernatorial campaign meet ing in his county, Luther K. Brice, Spartanburg Democratic chairman, sharply criticized the inter vention of President Roosevelt in this state's xsen ) atorial race. Americans, Mr. Brice said, should cease to take for granted their cherished freedom of the ballot and should look to its preservation. It would be far better, he declared, to endure the hardships of depression and some economic mal adjustments than to chance losing the freedom of the ballot and the American form of government. We salute Mr. Brice for speaking as a thought ful citizen and an earnest patriot. More of his kind are needed in these times.—Greenville Piedmont. In 11)37 New Mexico had the highest birth-rate in the country, New Jersey the lowest.

Why should just our more war rub out Knaland and France bill not Germany find Italy? The reason is that Hitler and Mussoli ni have skillful ministers of prop aganda. The fart is a democratic nation can stand more war and come out of it better than a nation ruled by a dictator.
