The democratic way has been proved, to the satis
faction of the average American, to be the best avail
able form of government. Eut singing hosannahs to
democracy will not keep our system firm of fiber and
pure of action.
Our greatest asset, perhaps, is free speech and a
free press, with a constitutionally-guaranteed right to
express our thoughts and beliefs. Yet the greatest
abuses of free speech and expression are not made by
those who would wilfully destroy our government, but
by those who profess land probably more or less sin
cerely) to be upholding it.
Greatest offenders against our institutions are
those who are sworn to defend them—congressmen
and assorted politicians who would rather further
party interests than the nation’s welfare. Current op
position to administration legislation largely comes
under this latter fault—politicians are forgetting
statesmanship and their higher obligation to the peo
ple in their jealous contemplation of the coming presi
dential campaign. They would wound an entire nation’s
business in order to make opponents limp at election
time.
Bad losers in our politics would scuttle their ship
in order to drown their captain. That is a weakness of
our democratic liberties—they force acquiescence to
opposition not because the opposition is right, but
because the opposition often stands with monkey
wrench poised at our vital machinery.

THE MARK OF A HAS-BEEN!
A man is never old until he starts living in the
past. Halted and gray, some are as up-to-date and
rarin’ to go as a high school athlete while others, in
their thirties, spend their time looking over their
shoulders and making of themselves has-beens.
The same is true of communities. Whenever a town
longs for the “good old days’’ instead of concentrating
on the present and the future then it has ceased to be
virile, progressive. Today and tomorrow demand the
full attention of people and groups of people who would
keep pace with times.
The truth is that the person who constantly in
dulges in “Now, I remember when—’’ usually has to
delve into the deep past to relate action in which he
took part. Those who have quit doing start recollecting,
and when a community does that it is on the road to
being forgotten.

CLIPPED QUIPS
HORSE AND EDITOR PERSUADERS!
According to a census bureau report, buggy whips
still are used for something besides getting even with
the editor. An estimated $500,000 worth was sold last
year in this country and with that kind of an output
there is wonder that subscribers find anything worth
reading.
As southern Oregon's buggy whip authority, this
department knows as much about the lash as most
horses, albeit it was applied to us in a different place.
Ah-h-h, them were the good old days a few years back
when The Miner was printed on pink paper and the
editor carried a fountain-pen tear gas gun that
wouldn’t go off at a horsewhipping but blew its top
in the Medford Mail Tribune office the next day. Phew!
What we got for THAT was worse than the horse
whipping!
And speaking of the buggywhip trade, apparently
it has never penetrated the Weston district up near
the Columbia river for were the weapons available
there surely Editor Clark Wood—he of the poignant,
truthful type—would have encountered the laying on
of willow.
Experience prompts us to advise other young edit
ors. trying for a start in the profession las we like to
call it), that it is better to be horsewhipped than ig
nored and, really, it don’t hurt hardly a-tall.
