A NEWSPAPER IS A CITIZEN OF ITS
COMMUNITY.
AFTER THE HURRICANE
AFTER tha political hurricane, whatt Wall, tba
sun seams to ba abla to sblna aa usual. Every
where you go, people (except a few professional
Republicans who are facing unemployment problama
for tha first time) are hopeful. After many months
of emotional disturbance one can settle down to
business (If any) again. Business men and farmer!
and "workers" are feeling better because they
feel that aomehow, nobody knows just how, things
will be better. We, the people have had our long
pent-up political spree. We have "turned the ras
cals out" in numbers. We may have put a new set
of "rascals" in. We shall see. The only definitely
encouraging tact Is that millions of people, for no
particular, logical reason, are feeling happy and
hopeful again.
The election can best be described as a typically
American demonstration. The reaction of the
American people against Hoover and the Republican
party la aa typical as the reaction of American
college alumni when a coach has failed to produce
winning team. We have demanded a new coach,
new players, a new playing "system," but we have
been very careful not to change the fundamentals
of "the game." We see the election Interpreted by
many observers as expressing a nation-wide deBtre
for "ohange." There may be some such underlying
Intangible and vague desire, but what we, the
people, have voted for Is "betterment," not change.
The vote for the Socialists and other radical parties
baa proved surprisingly (and to most people) grat
lfylngly email. Over Wall itreet, nervous center
of our economlo system, the "Business As Usual"
. banners flutter (see quotes of leading bankers).
We have changed managements but not methods;
the vote says that we are satisfied with our
political philosophy, as It Is so far.
But what If the Democrats fall to produce the
better times so gaily promised by Mr. Roosevelt?
Will there be another hurricane at the end of an
other four years? Already we notice In the writings
of William Allen White and some other keen ob
servers the confident prediction of counter-reaction.
It may not be Quite so simple aa that
If the Democrats fall It will be because they
have within their ranks the same absurd and
Illogical divisions that have hampered the Re
publicans for years. If the Democrats are to make
good in their new role as the country's great liberal
party, they will have to banish their Tory section
which has long furnished some of their most
potent leaders. If the Republicans are ever again
to be accepted seriously as, the repository of all
constructive conservative wisdom they will have
to abolish their "Bolshevik fringe."
We are facing an extremely Interesting and
significant four years In the political development
of the American people. In the vast uprising of
Toten last Tuesday we tee little threat of "change"
bat we do see a warning to both parties that unless
they mend their ways parties with definite, un
compromising, unmistakable social philosophies will
merge. In the next tour years we are likely to
leave political adolescence behind and come of age.
OREGONIAN GOES INDEPENDENT
JO longer la The Oregonlan a "straight Itepub
llcan" newspaper. The Oregonlan haa gone
"independent" with Republican Inclinations. This
la on of the most significant poat-electlon develop
ment! In Oregon. In fact when a paper with The
Oregonlan'a prestige and attainments abolishes
the old creed, "our party, right or wrong," It Is an
vent ot national significance.
With the decline of the parties In intellectual
integrity and positive political leadership. It has
become more and more difficult tor thinking people
to bold to the old party loyalties. Blame the de
cline ot the parties on the spread ot the primary
aystem or on the "political and economlo Illiteracy"
within the party organisations which has hampered
the development of the parties as organs of definite
social and political programs the decline la a fact,
and in many ways a lamentable fact.
This country stilt needs great parties, inspired
by Intelligent and courageous leaders, rallying their
followers around great Idoals and . principles of
government for the handling of the problems which
a modern civilisation must meet. Our leading
parties are eobwebbed with obsolete traditions,
stultified by the compromises of stupid and some
times craven leadership, and handicapped by hench
men and hangers-on who can see In polltlca no
higher aim than the meal ticket.
An Independent paper, we welcome the great
Oregonlan to the ranks of the Independents, though
we don't mind confessing that It Is often an un
comfortable place. Working for political Improve
ment outside the parties ta a good deal like working
for religion outside tha church. It Is difficult to
explain your creed; It Is sometimes Impossible to
be consistent; it is often damaging to immediate
effectiveness.
There Is, however, a tremendous compensating
satisfaction In picking and choosing men and meaa
area, regardleaa, and In submitting opinions for
what they are worth, without thought as to whether
they pleaae or displease or whether they produce
results. In these times, when men's minds are
contused, when they cannot be too sure they know
what they think they know or that they really
believe what they think they think. The Oregonlan
haa adopted a policy which will not Impair but
will enhance Its long record ot usefulness in this
tate.
THE NEXT LEGISLATURE
WITH seven Democrats elected to the Home and
" fifteen to the State Senate In the landslide,
the next legislature becomes one ot the most Inter
esting possibilities In Oregon political history. In
the last session the Democrats bad only one mem
ber In the Senate and only seven In the House.
They are still a decided minority In both houses
but they are strong enough to be very bothersome
unless effective cooperation can he engineered.
It la to be hoped that party alms and aspirations
M U anbmargad la general policy at the coming
session. Aa a matter of fact there is no reason
why they should not be submerged because party
policies have ceased to have much to do with state
problems. What Oregon needs this year Is a legls
lature which will work intelligently and patiently
with the governor and other administrative officers
to meet the emergencies which have grown with
the depression.
To meet mounting state deficits, a sales tax
may have to be adopted If an unbearable load Is not
added to the already excessive property taxation
(Income tax Increases having Just been vetoed by
the Toters),
To save the railroads from disaster, legislation
will be needed which will at leaat equalise compe
tition from trucks and other carriers.
To preserve the highways from destruction,
downward adjustments of license fees (necessary
ai they are) must be made with businesslike regard
for bonded obligations.
Liquor laws must be adjusted to the changed
temper of the Oregon people.
For unemployment relief, some setup will be
needed which will not turn the highway depart
ment Into a disguised poor relief department.
Higher education may be a target for much
legislation but the vote on the moving bill seems
to Indicate clearly that the voters want few changes
till the present unified system 'has been given
fair trial, and the other issues are all more pressing.
In Senators H. 0. Wheeler, Joint Senator Joel
Booth and Representatives Hill, Huntington and
McCornack, Lane county presents a delegation
which has an unusual opportunity to lead the way
toward constructive policies. Some observers, view-
Ing the badly split setup predict "a madhouse
session." If this occurs It will be regrettable. The
state Is at a crisis where petty differences must
be forgotten.
JUDGE HARRIS, EUGENE CITIZEN
XTO one person, no one group of persons In the
state of Oregon can be given more than
share ot the credit tor the overwhelming defeat ot
the sohool moving bill. Not even the people of
Eugene who bled themselves white to defend the
University can claim more than a share In what
was really an uprising ot the people of Oregon In
defense of all education. It would be difficult to
name an outstanding cltiren In any community in
Oregon who did not help In some way Iq the fight.
Yet there had to be somewhere a definite lead
ershlp to bring about that remarkable change ot
sentiment which brought November victory out of
July defeat. We believe the people In this com'
muntty ought to know more about the part played
by Lawrence T. Harris. Judge Harris was Just one
of the rather numerous committee called Into action
last spring by the Chamber ot Commerce. In the
course ot time, it became apparent that In order
to have prompt, effective reaulta In an ever-changing
situation, much of the campaign would have to be
left to a small "executive group."
Judge Harris became the accepted head ot this
small group, Just when or how, nobody can quite
remember. He gravitated to leadership. There
were plenty of younger men to "do details," hut in
laying out a broad campaign, establishing policies,
the younger men depended on the Judge's wisdom
and experience tor guidance. Night and day for
months, Sundays and holidays as well as week
days, Judge Harris has been on the Job, giving all
he bad In time and strength.
One very Important fact characterised the lead
ership of Judge Harris. Hundreds ot suggestions
poured in at all times to the "steering committee."
At no time would the Judge sanction any method
which even savored ot political trickery. With a
cause that was fundamentally right, he Insisted that
very policy must bo right.
It was under Judge Harris' guidance that
Amedee Smith and Harold Young were brought In
as active heads ot the state-wide campaign, ama
teurs In political management but men whose stand
ing and sincerity could not be questioned anywhere
In the state. It was due largely to the guidance
of Judge Harris that the campaign waa lifted above
the mean Issues which threatened to degrade it
and placed on an appeal to the right-thinking ot
the state.
If Eugene had the practice common to many
cities, of selecting each year a olttsen who has
rendered outstanding community service, we would
nominate Judge Harris. He does not expect any
such reward or recognition, because as he sees
things he did only what somebody had to do, but
the men who worked with him feel that the com
munity ought to know how they have relied on his
calm, high-minded, Indomitable leadership. When
others despaired he would not even talk of defeat.
When others lagged, he spurred them on to new
effort. He waa a pillar ot strength.
Brewers ot the county are getting all hopped up
in anticipation of prohibition repeal. Bootleggers
are aald to ba all hopped up over the prospect ot
honest employment. The real problem Is to get a
plan eo that everybody won't get all hopped up
before It's over.
Just wbon everybody waa feeling so happy be
cause election was over, the newspapers had to
remind ua that Congress Is going to have the
customary "short sosalon" In December. Bring on
that "lame duck amendment."
The Democrats will have things all their own
way in the next congress until some of the bright
minds among them get to arguing who won the
election. MrGttrk says It was the Republicans.
With the school moving Mil licked to a fare-thee-well,
AJax MrGurk says he finds some ot the
bora still gloomy because they have nothing to
worry about but depression.
Well, Prink Calllson's boys didn't do so well at
Troy," but no alibis are necessary. Another year
with perhaps a Utile bit better balanced schedule
is coming.
Some people are still wearing "Vote 317 No"
on their tire covers. Dr. 0. F. Stafford suggests
that we change them to read "Thanks for Voting
81? No." A good suggestion.
The AP tells us that the Soviet government Is
letting out SO.OOO shiftless government "white
collar workers." There may he some good Ideas
after all In that form of government.
There are still a few old fashioned Republicans
left. An old fashioned Republican Is a guy who

WHAT SOME THINKERS THINK
Compiled by CLAY E PALMER
Pastor of First Congregational Church
ZONA GALE, eminent American
those who are most afrcid of the word
'anarchist' are most willing to prac
tice anarchy no less in socinl and
international relationships. To cry.
Every nation for itself. All is fair in
war. In warfare all laws, human and
divine, ar suspended.' Now that is
anarchy. From star to crystal, order Is
the convention of nature. Yet there
is a brand of anarchist who asks us
to believe that in human relationships
alone, nature suspends her universal
law and delights in discord.
Dr. Edwin D. Mead: "Abraham
Lincoln declared Thomas Jefferson to
be, and likely to remain, the greatest
of American political thinkers. In his
own struggle against slavery, he owed
to Jefferson his aspiration, his pro
gram and his argument; and ho ap
peals to him more than forty times,
whilo thcro are but two or three ref
erences to Hnmilton (his great op
ponent), and those passing and per
functory. Ho eminent nn American as
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler has re
cently declared in a pregnant and
powerful address that while Hamil
ton's work waa done, Jefferson is but
in the morning of his great influence."
Editorial In The Business Week,
Oct. 19, 1932: "In our bettor mo
menta we dare to hope some of the
lessons so painfully burned into us by
the eventa of the past three years
will really be learned, and remember
ed for a while. Per haps, for one thing,
honesty, just plaia honesty, may have
a revival of esteem. Tbo real scandal
of 1029 was not one collective and
unanimous foolishness; it was the fact
that common honesty was so hard to
find among business loaders wo were
following. It wasn't even recognized
aa dishonesty."
Lincoln 8teffens, great Journalist:
It was with this baffling experience
In mind that I asked Albert Kinstein
how be, a philosopher and a scientist,
had been able to discover anything
new. Ilia answer is the answer. He
did what he did by CHALLKNO INt
AN AXIOM. Thatas what those busi
ness men who cannot find their way
out of this depression are unable to
do. They cannot challenge an axiom.
That's what some of our boys and
girls will have to do.'
Christian Century Editorial: "The
hands of the Christian church are
ataiued with Insull's guilt. The
church has no ethical standard ex
cept the ethics of secular respectibil
ity. It la not crenling in Its members
a type of moral character whose
stnndnrds transcend the estnblisberi
economic system. It talks about the
good life, but it means the respect
uble life of conformity to the right
eousness of the world. It bus no mes
sage of regeneration for the good
mnn, the respectable citizen. It lays
no cross upon ita followers,"
Dr. George A. Coe, probably Amer
ica's greatest religious educator:
"Capitalism and democracy do not go
together." Entangling alliance between
capitalism and the church, will soon
strangle the church, he declares.
Dr. Will Durant, philosopher: "The
greatest question of our time is not
communism vs. Individualism, not Eu
rope vs. America, not the east vs.
the west; It is whether men can bear
to live without God. Religion was pro
founder than philosophy, and refuses
to root human happiness in the
earth."
John Erskine, mttn of letters: "It
oeema to me that the human race has
been given to two bad mistakes in its
thinking. One, is to forget that our
spiritual life is just as nnturnl as our
physical... If it is a mistake not to
recognize that our spiritual life is as
natural as our physical, it is another
and probably a more common error to
confuse our spiritual Ideals with the
actual facta of existence."
Dr. Charles Beard, one of our
greatest historians: "For myself I
may Bny aa I look over the whole
drama of history, I find (or seem to
find) amid the apparent chaos and
tragedy, evidence of law and plan and
immense achievement of the human
spirit in spite of disasters. I am con
vinced that the world is not a mere
bag In which men and women trample
themselves in the mire and die. Some
thing magnificent is taking place here
amid the cruelties and tragedies, and
the supremo challenge of intelligence
is that of making the nohlcst and best
In our curious heritage prevail."
Dr. Robert A. MMIIkan, one of our
greatest scientists and an active
Christian. He denies that science Is
anti-religion. He cites a long list of
scientists who gave a place in their
scheme of things to n divine force:
Maxwell, Faraday, Galileo, Newton, j
kin stein, Jeans and Eddin:;ton. He de- !
nies that science is getting less reli-j
nious. Quite the contrary seems to be i
the cane, if church membership Is any
indication. An examination of Who's
Who In America revealed, of the old

bers. But of the youngest one-fourth,
44 per cent were church member.

The following is U. S. government
figures: In the year of 1912, 600,000
young men between the agea of 18
years and 25 years went to an un
timely grave.
One half of that number went to
a drunkard's grave, the other one
half confessed on their death beds
that they went down because of the
dress, of mothers, wives and sisters
also the pictures and calendars they
had hanging on the walla, caused
them to seek the saloon or beer par
lor first, and then to the home of
the prostitute woman.
Now, dear people, it was your vote
that Bent those boys to hell and I
beg of you to think before you cast
the same vote again.
Some day we will have to give an
account to our Creator for the way
we vote on Nov. 8, 19.'2.
For over 40 years I have been a

of prohibition and not be guilty by
my vote of sending a soul to a drunk

And every man in all this mill and

His every action proved his Inmost

To bring the greatest good to every
man.
What wonder tbat we hold In high

Tha man, who played within our

Though he is gone, his memory

But will live on forever, enshined
in Westfir'a heart.
