A Letter by Tom Marshall. IN March' of 1924 the Charlotte, N. C.; Observer news paper published an editorial suggesting that warring democratic factions might well unite upon Thomas Riley Marshall as a compromise nominee for president. Mr. Marshall wrote to the Observer repelling tho sug gestion, and tho Observer now publishes extracts from the former vice-president's letter as a posthumous ex pression of his views upon some political tendencies of the day. Wrote Mr. Marshall: I belong to that school which believes that the presidency la too exnltcd an office to be put up. through the primary, for aale to the 'biggest money bag or the most Inflated gas bag. Mine eyoB havo lived to see the tlmo when. Instead of the peopln hiring anrvnnta, servants are now trying to hire the people. Ito not deceived In human naturo. What a man buys ho owns and will use for himself. I am quite content nnd happy In the faith that good cltlzons are ns necessary na officials. , One may gathor from theso expressions thot Mr. Marshall had come to a realization in which ho was by no; means alono among thinking men, thnt our latter-day system of direct nominations, while it has removed completely tho evil of boss-dominated conventions and minimized boss dictation of polities generally, has also given opportunities to self-seekers nnd Bolf-starters in politics which have placed them in, ninny of our offioes below tho grade of president.',' It is to an extent true, as Mr. Marshall observed, that in the filling of public offices nowadays, "instead of tho people hiring servants, servants are trying to hire the people." Men used to be elected to office on the basis of the political and economic principles and policies which they supported. Tho candidate was recognized ns a leader, to whom the voters flocked becauso of what ho stood for. It is different now. Tho average candidate is no longer tho leader of a cause or a standard bearer for principle. His support is dependent almost entirely upon tho clement of personal popularity and , upon his ability to mako picturesquo or spectacular np ! pent. To attain popularity he "hires people"; that is ho caters to factions, cliques and various relatively small groups, ns wen ns to larger classes. Jijleeted under these conditions lie must devote his efforts to promo tion of group and class interests, to tho neglect nnd detriment of affairs of greater moment nnd moro gen eral concern. Tho state or national legislator, to get support for tho group and class measures that ho is pledged to support, must ngree in return to support tho group nnd class measures of others. And so wo ofteu find our legislators, state and national, voting for mea sures and policies in which they do not believe. Thus the. whole matter of legislation becomes materially af fected through this effort by legislators to favor groups and classes of voters who havo favored them. In his remark that "the presidency is too exalted nn ol'fico to bo put up, through the primary, for sale to (ho biggest money bag, or the most inflated gas bug" the Into ex-president reveals a cynicism rather un expected. One wonders just where he got his nppnrent impression that, the presidency could bo attained tlironirh corruption of the primary. The primary has its faults, but purchase of office through its mnl-mnniinilntion is liardly ono of them.

(Salem Capital Journal) In hia letter of reoignation from : the state game rommiMton, to the governor, K. W. Price alleges that former Mate prohibition eommiMlmer (Iforge h. Cleaver, who was ousted THE PRESS by the lrKilittre from office, but Is T HI nn the st(e payroll as a "special agent " for Covemor Pierce, solicited the tiistsncs ef three- members of the tame rommlsion tn an effort to "frame-up" on gm warden A.

It Is further alleged that Mr. Cleft ver claimed bo acted with tho governor's approval, pre en tin a a let ter to this effect, an appureutly tliia was the only way the warden could be ousted without the' executive's vio lating pledges given during the legis lative session to secure scnutorml support against the bill removing tbe game commission from bis control. The incident is typical of the k!tw of politics Governor Pierce has plac ed ever since his inauguration, Mr. Cleaver, with the asiistuuce of one Weinberg: and the approval of the governor, spent several thousands ot state money in the effort to "framo" Oregon's United States senators and other federal officials, as well as :o 'get" the speaker of the house of representatives. That hi evidently why the taxpayers continue to pay Mr. Cleaver's salary.

RIFFS REFUSE TO "FIGHT FAIR" Reason Comes Out For France's Failure to Use Airplanes More Frooly In Morocco. BY CHARLES P. STEWART (NBA Service Writer) TASHIXGTON, June 3. The un accommodating refusal of tho Riff tribesmen to "fight fair" is respon sible for France's inability to uae planes .success fully in her Moroccan campaign. So Teports the United States army air service. The fact that the world's premier power in the heavens seemed to be relying so little on aviation in North Africa has been spoken of before as quite a puzzle to experts. It interest ed this country's flying military men so much that they have been investi gating and now relate what they found out. "The Riffs," according to the in vestigators, "have no regular strong holds or supply bases, but operate singly or in groups of three or four, frpm enves nnd sheltered ock IcdgoH In the mountains, making aircraft of little, value. "If there wero- supply bases they could be bombed, or if the tribesmen gathered in any number they could oe wiped out by gns or machine gun fire. But their onslaughts are short nnd immediately afterward they dis perse in the mountains. "Besides, most of their Attacks are at night, when airplanes aro at a dis advantage." 1 It appears also that the tribesmen have bad good luck in bringing down low-flying planes by rifle fire. "And as tbe natives," adds the re port, "care nothing for International law and have a habit of disembowel ing captured aviators, low flying over the hostile country is somewhat un popular." France tries to give the Impression thnt the Riff struggle is between cir illrntion and barbarism and that the In New York Bv JAMES W. DEAN VEW YORK, June ii.

The Riffs are in rebellion against Spain. A people in revolt against Spanish colonial misrule are entitled to the benefit of every doubt. The Riffs may be savages but It's doubtful if they'll be improved by any civiliz ing they're likely to get from Spain. The French simply were s idea-wiped by the fight. They were glad of it, too. They've been wanting to get into it for quite a while. They hope to t'et some territory out of it for them selves. The Spnniph know it, and bad ly as they need help, are mighty bus picious of the kind tbe French are giving them. Another thing, as the American army air service notes cynically, Franco has been "overstocked wito general officers" ever since the war "and the Moroccan activity affords exorcise for Rome of tho surplus." tTIey oughi. tp be grateful to the Itttjfs, Instead of calling them savages. In reality, maybe they are. They're killing tlrcm, but without ill feeling, likely enough. The prediction that China's future will be industrial, rather than agri cultural, like her post, made by l)r. Chang-Ting Wang, he present Pekin government's high commissioner to Rirssta and a recent visitor here, is something for the western world to think about. Here's a country of 400 million in habitants, fully half of them workers for women ns well as meii do men's work in China willing to toil 12 to 16 hours a day, seven days a week, at a daily wage below' 20 American cents; a country with coal, oil aud iron resources perhaps surpassing America's. Industrially neither people nor re sources have been much exploited. If they're about to be well, it sounds like "some" competition. out their tunes on the piano, finger ing a run or two and then setting them down on paper, Jhnmie Monaco, one of the well-known habitues of Tin Pan Alley, has been doing that for 13 years, but ho recently changed his system. "There are 7,000,000 uke leles in tho couutcy," he says, "nnd unless your piece can bo played on the uke it s no go. So now I have discard ed the piano and pick out my airs on o uke, it can be played on a piano, but it doesn't work the other way 'round." "The King of the Greeks" is dead, He was Theodore Eokles, Coming to this country 25 years ago and penni- Ies, he worked until he had enough to buy a pushcart from which he sold i fruit. Then he went into the confec- tionery business. When he died he had more than a million dollars in the bank and owned more resaurants than any other man in town. . e ' " ' T " ' I nOWCll S (.01111110111 By CHESTER H.
