TWO GOOD PARTIES.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
It would seem that what we need in America today is
not more political parties, but better. Our democratic sys
tem owes its success chiefly to the existence of two virile
parties, although third-party movements have at times been
important for the development of ideas and programs event
ually taken over by the major parties.
The political party in a country such as ours has three
prime functions. One is to provide the mechanism for dis
cussion of public issues and the formulation of platforms.
Another is to select nominees for public office and try to elect
them. A third is to provide the discipline necessary to in
sure execution of policies and orderly performance of gov
ernmental functions, especially in the legislative process.
For our party system to carry on these functions, we
need two vigorous groups. If both are reasonably strong,
we always have a party in power strong enough to determ
ine and enforce major policies, and another party in opposi
tion virile enough to subject every move of Government to
close scrutiny and courageous enough to make an issue of
any policy that seems undesirable.
This, of course, means that there should be important
differences in the two parties. When either party fails to
champion the interests of an important segment of the popu
lation and becomes a mere shadow of the other party, as did
the Liberal Party in England, it is destined to decay. With
this in mind, it is clear that Republican strategy this year
and next ought to involve a conservative orientation. Should
the G.O.P. swing about to win the Middle Western farm
population, as now seems unlikely, it certainly would fail
to give adequate expression to the mounting of anti-New
Deal sentiment in the business community. The main con
tours of Democratic policy are already determined of course,
by the character of Mr. Roosevelt’s policies.
From this point of view, the coming Presidential cam
paign seems to promise a more informing and beneficial
alignment on great public questions than we have had lor
many years. It remains to be seen, however, whether the
G.O.P. will clarify its platform sufficiently. It cannot be
blind to the fact that we have moved beyond the ideas and
conditions of the 1920's, and that no effort could restore the
individualism of that epoch. Yet it must offer a retreat
from rash experimentation, or it will have no reason for
existence.
In any event, there is no place on the political stage for
a nationwide third-party movement. The two major par
ties are far enough apart on major issues so that there is no
point where a new party can take hold. It is when the ma
jor parties become too much alike that the chances of a third
party become interesting.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
In the heart of the average man this venture into higher
taxes is a mystery. It brings on little ills and frets. The
multitude of taxes upsets the mind and one is worried as
to how to pay them and what they are used for. Many of
the taxes seem to be caused by dreams of the New Dealers.

It is never well to dream except it be in bed—and even then
it’s likely to end in a nightmare.
Some business men have visions of greater things, but
in carrying out their plans they forget the Golden Rule and
go only far enough to miss their goal of achievement and
their plans result only in a mirage.
Classified advertising is considered the most effective
means for securing direct results at the lowest cost.
Almost every successful business man considers the
good will which he has built up through years of continuous
newspaper advertising and honest dealings as his one big
asset.
A whole lot of cities are long on good starters, hut short
on good finishers.
Too many men are so intent upon admiring their own
methods, their own progress, their own wisdom, that they
do not have time to observe their own faults.
