What is "Moderation?
Apparently Adlai Stevenson i3 going to have
plenty of competition for the Democratic nomination.
Governor Lausche of Ohio the state of Presi
dents has thrown his hat into the ring, and Senator
Kefauver is expected to follow suit in a day or two.
Governor Harriman has not made any announce
ment as yet, but with Mr. de Sapio and Tammany
Hall trying to push him, he will, no doubt be in their
pitching when the Chicago free-for-all opens.
"II7ELL why not? The more the merrier.
We don't care so much about who the -winner
is as what he and his party stand for. And just HOW
they stand.
If there is any mealy-mouth equivocation or spine
less straddling of issues on either side, then a great
opportunity will be missed.
For 'we believe the people of the country are
pretty well fed up on double-talk, playing both ends
against the middle, and shadow boxing instead of
fighting on. principle for votes.
MOT that we are against Adlai and his program
1 of 'moderation." Not at all. We are for it 100
per cent.
But as previously pointed out, moderation does
not mean modification or adulteration, nor pussy
footing around principles instead of meeting them
squarely and vigorously, face to face. It merely means
cutting out the breast-beating and table-thumping,
the noise and fury, signifying nothing but a desire
to get a quick vote, the old time flim-flam that claims
all the virtues are in one party and all the vices in
another.
In short it means talking SENSE. It means as
suming that the voters of the country a majority
at least, prefer a factual, objective presentation
of the chief issues involved, as the speaker sees them,
in a sane and reasonable fashion to a side-show
ballyhoo to get in the crowd and then presenting
them with a bucket of partisan bunkum. .
VUf ANY of the professional "pros" on both sides of
the fence don't" agree with this prescription.
They believe a certain amount of pretense, humbug
and claptrap necessary to rake in the essential majority.
Well they may be right. We know of no Supreme
Court qualified to decide such a question.
But we DO know how this paper feels about it,
and we believe there are thousands of voters who
feel the same way.
It all comes under the heading of putting away
childish things politically speaking, and becoming
reasonably ADULT.
In the opinion of this newspaper, Adlai Steven
son is the one presidential candidate thus far intro
duced best qualified by character and temperament
to do just that. R.W.R.
"IF"
For many years the Mail Tribune ran a regular
column for offerings in verse called "The Poet's Cor
ner." But as demands for news space increased, and
the poetic aspirants hereabouts increased even more
so, the feature was abandoned.
As things appear at the present writing, particu
larly the quality, rather than quantity of the few
stray offerings received, this ban will continue.
DUT that does not mean poetry, professional or
amateur, good or bad will NEVER soil our pro
siac pages, when and if in the judgment of the
poetry editor they have intrinsic value or a genuine
news interest.
So we print under the latter classification the
following poem regarding safe-auto-driving. It was
designed for'S.D. Day but we believe its message
can well be taken to heart
any time during me year out particularly aunng tnis
season of ice, snow and slippery corners:
Here it is:
. If everyone who drives a car could lie a month in bed,
With broken bones and stitched up wounds or fractures
of the head,
And then endure the agonies that many people do.
They'd never need preach safety any more to me or you.
If everyone could stand beside the bed of some close friend,
And hear the doctor say "no hope" before the fatal end,.
And see him. there unconscious, never knowing what took
place,
The laws and rules of traffic, I'm sure we'd soon embrace.
If eeryone could meet the wife and children left behind, -
And step into the darkened home, one with sunshine lined,
And look upon the vacant chair where daddy used to sit,
I'm sure each reckless driver would be forced to think a bit.
If everyone who takes the wheel would say a little prayer,
And keep in mind those in the car depending on his care,
And make a vow and pledge himself to never take a chance,
The great crusade of safety would suddenly advance.

CRIME AT CHRISTMAS
A resident of the Spencer
Butte area drops in to complain
about the number of people who
are chopping Christmas trees on
private property in that area.
Most farmers in that area, she
points out, try to manage their
woodlots on a tree farm basis,
and matters aren't helped by
indiscriminate ax work on the
part of city folks. Moreover, she
complains, too frequently trees
are chopped from the roadside,
leaving only an ugly scar where
Sunday drivers used to see a
green tree.
Thursday. December IS, 1955
by any of our readers, at
Often, she says, the people
in that area are willing to per
mit a family to harvest a Christ
mas tree from their property.
But she wishes they'd have the
courtesy to ask. It's both good
courtesy and good forestry to
consult the owner about which
trees may be cut.
Furthermore, the theft of a
Christmas tree from somebody's
woodlot is just that a theft.
And petty thievery is a poor
business at the start of the
Christmas season. Eugene Register-Guard.

The other day in Washington,
President Eisenhower met with
GOP leaders to discuss the ad
ministration's domestic policies.
The administration's domestic
policies will provide the frame
work of the platform which will
be the Republican party's bid
for votes in the Presidential cam
paign year of 1956.
The dispatches report that the
farm problem GOT TOP BILL
ING AT THE CONFERENCE.
The GOP leaders were pretty
weU agreed that something dras
tic will have to be done to win
the farm vote or the Republican
party will be in a pickle.
THAT raises this question: "
WHAT TO DO?
OEVERAL weeks ago, Congress-
man Harris Ellsworth, repre
senting the Fourth congressional
district of Oregon, asked himself
this same question. Trying to an
swer it intelligently, he discov
ered that he didn't know what
ought to be done. So he decided
to ask the farmers of his dis
trict what they thought about it.
He asked them these ques
tions: Which in your opinion repre
sents the SOUNDEST agricul
tural program:
1. High, rigid price supports
for basic crops coupled with pro
duction controls?
2. Flexible price supports as
advocated by the present ad
ministration? 3., NO price supports, per
mitting agricultural commodi
ties to find their own level in
the market?
ITHEN the replies came in, they
' ' gave him quite a jolt of sur
prise. Here, percentagewise, is
how the Fourth congressional
district farmers who answered
his questionnaire voted:
FOR No. 113.1
For No. 239.4
FOR No. 3 47.5
rrHAT is to say:
Of the FARMERS who re
plied to Congressman Ells-
worth's questions, only 13.1 per
cent prefer rigid high supports
for basic crops, coupled with
production controls. Flexible
price supports, as proposed by
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son and embodied in the present
law, are preferred by 39.4 per
cent.
NO PRICE SUPPORT, per
mitting agricultural commodities
to find their own level in the
market, is preferred by 47.5 per

THE DOCTORS AND
THE REGENTS
There has been a notion in
the air that at some future date,
say in February, the President's
doctors will hf
able to tell
him whether
or not he
should run
for a second
term. The
White House
press confer
ence on Satur
day, at which
Dr. Snyder
and Col. Mat
tingly submit
Walter Lippman
ted to rigorous cross-examination,
made it plain that while
the doctor might -advise the
President NOT to run, it is the
President himself, not his doc
tors, who will have to make the
final "determination" that he is
ABLE to run.
Dr. Snyder, who was pressed
on the point, was scrupulously
careful to insist that the Pres
ident's "ability" to run again,
would, even if everything goes
favorably, have to be left, to the
President's own decision. His
decision would be not merely
whether he wanted to run,
whether he felt it his duty to
run but whether he was "able"
to run. This cannot be a medical
decision because the doctors can
not foresee what demands will
be made on the President during
the next five years. "Is it pos
sible," Dr. Snyder was asked,
"to assess how much another
term will take out of a man?"
To this Dr. Snyder replied, "No,
it is not. It is not."
THE task of assessing how
much another term would
take out of him is if the doctors
give him the most favorable re
port the President's own per
sonal responsibility. There can
not in the nature of thmgs ever
be an objective, scientific, au
thoritative determination that he
CAN carry the load of the Pres
idency during the next five
years. That is a question for his
judgment and for his conscience.
In the meantime the President
has already, it would seem,
made an important preliminary
decision, which is to put off his
decision about running again.
There are two main considera
tions involved.
The one is that the better his
recovery, the better able he wiU
be to bear the heavy load of
making the decision about run
ning agam. Whichever way he
makes that decision, it will be a
demanding decision, one fraught
with heavy responsibility.
The 'other consideration is, of
course, that the longer he is able
to put off ihis decision about a
second term, the longer will his
leadership remain undisputed
inside his party. That is why
Senators Knowland and Bridges,
who are reluctant about his
leadership, are asking for a
prompt decision; and that is why
Mr. Stassen wants to put off the
decision until about June.
PRESUMABLY, the inner Eis
enhower circle, sometimes
called the regency, feel that
were the President to announce
his retirement, there would at
once be a struggle over the suc
cession and that the struggle
might go against them. Perhaps
the greatest weakness of the Eis
enhower administration is that
there is no genuine, self-evident
successor to whom the Eisen
hower Republicans and the Eis-
SUGGESTED BIBLE
READING VERSES
The Medford Council of
Church Women each year be
between Thanksgiving and
Christmas sponsors a pro
gram of daily Bible reading,
recommending a different
verse of the Bible for each
day during that period, in co
operation with, the American
Bible association, the Med
ford Ministerial association
and the National Council of
Church Women.
Following are the passages
recommended for today:
John 3: 1-17.
Harahap is going to have his
troubles if he remains in office.
He is a pleasant, friendly man.
Like Sastroamidjojo he wants to
keep Indonesia neutral in world
affairs. But he does not, like Sas
troamidjojo, depend on the Com
munists for support. He also is
more friendly to the United
States.
The Netherlands and Indone
sia are now conducting negotia
tions on various problems,
among them the future of West
New Gumea.
But there again arises the
question of what Indonesia
would do with it. It is the most
primitive area in the world.
Some of its 700,000 people .still
live as their ancestors did in the
stone age. The Netherlands, con
trols only 400,000 of them. And
the Indonesian government can
not even control all of its own
territory.
Tomorrow
Lippmann
enhower independents can read
ily be rallied.
The crucial question is
whether the Eisenhower men
are using the postponement to
prepare a successor if he is
needed or whether they are
wishing so hard to have the Pres
ident run again that they do not
dare to tempt fate by thinking
about his not running. If it is
the latter, that they are shrink
ing from an unpleasant subject,
it must be said that they are
playing for too high stakes at too
poor odds.
SINCE there are not precedents
for what to do when a Presi
dent is partiaUy incapacitated,
it is only fair to recognize that
the inner circle of the White
House and of the Cabinet have
been doing very well indeed
They are, of course, treading
water, not moving much from
where they are though the times
are full of movement. Eisen
hower, to be sure, has happily
not been so much incapacitated
as Wilson was. But he has Tjeen
largely absent from the seat of
government. Yet in his absence
there has been an agreeable lack
of the intrigue and of the throat-
cutting which usually take place
when teacher is away.
Yet it would be silly, not to
say uncomplimentary to the
President, to act as if his illness
and absence do not make a big
difference. On the other hand,
they discourage, indeed they
tend to prevent, that reappraisal
in our foreign policies - which
should have been, but never was,
made at the time of the first
Geneva meeting. We have had,
instead, a remarkable display of
bureaucratic inertia. There has
been lacking that element, which
the President alone is able to
provide, the win to change
course and not to be afraid or
too proud to do so.
ON THE other side, the absence
of the President has, as Mr.
Roscoe Drummond pointed out
on Monday, left the Administra
tion without a responsible
spokesman. For more than four
months there has been no Presi
dential press conference. It
seems unlikely that the Presi
dent's doctors will soon let him
hold a press conference. The
way these affairs have devel
oped,, they must be to use Dr.
Snyder's word among the most
"demanding" of the President's
labors.
I agree with Mr. Drummond
that "some alternative method
of putting questions to the Pres
ident needs to be worked out
very soon," and with his sugges
tion that once a week written
questions should be submitted to
Mr. Hagerty. They could be
given written answers which
would, of course, be prepared by
the Departments and edited by
the regents.
Even before the President's
illness it was fair to argue that
the oral questions and answers
were not sufficiently informing
especially on intricate mat
ters and that they needed to be
supplemented by written ques
tions and written, that is to say
deliberate and fully informed,
answers.
