MAIL TRIBUNE
"Politics" Is All of Us
The word "politician" is in high disrepute, these
days. It is bandied about like an epithet.
Which is too bad.
Politics is the art or science of government ; a pol
itician (in its best and truest sense) is one skilled in
that art or science;
It is to our advantage to get the best possible men
to make a career of politics. We do ourselves no good
by using the term as one of opprobrium.
'THE TROUBLE is that we have come to apply the
term commonly to the worst, rather than the best;
of our public servants. And the phrase, "Oh, he's
nothing but a politician," carries with it the implica
ton that the subject is a no-good feeder at the public
trough.
Political partisans refer to office-seekers of the
other party as "politicians," but to their own as
"statesmen" or "public servants."
Silly, isn't it?
But the fact remains that each of us is a politician
or should be if we take sufficient interest in our
own government to find out what the problems are,
and to vote intelligently regarding them.
XME BLAME the misuse of the word "politics" f or
another absurdity which is too current. This is
the shying-away from "politics" by good, substantial
organizations which should know better.
Most of the service clubs have provisions in their
charters which proscribe them from taking part in
political activity, and which require them to remain
non-political in nature.
That's all well and good and probably necessary
if the groups are to attract a broad cross-section of
the community, as they must do to survive.
But this has led to a curious, head-in-the-sand sort
of attitude which results in a pretense that politics
the art, if you please, of governing ourselves is
something apart from everyday life.
It just isn't so.
THHIS pretense has resulted in some colleges and uni
versities prohibiting candidates for office from
making "political" addresses on their campuses
with the result that the poor office-seekers talk ban
alities, and the students are barred by a silly rule from
exposure to the very stuff of government.
(This type of hypocrisy has been mercifully absent
from Oregon campuses in the past year or two, after
a few examples of political censorship were shown up
for the absurdities they were.)
It also results in some service clubs insulating
themselves from the facts of life.
yHE MOST recent instance of this attitude was at a
Rotary club meeting in Coquille the other day,
where Sen. Richard Neuberger was the guest speaker.
Now Senator Neuberger is a controversial f igure in
Oregon politics, but he IS a United States Senator,
elected by a majority vote of the people of Oregon.
His talk was in relation to the Eisenhower adminis
tration. People have a right to know how he stands,
and then to agree or disagree.
But the Rotary "no politics" rule came in to play,
with the odd result that the presiding officer, smack
in the middle of the senator's talk, called him "out of
order," and told him he could talk about those pro
grams of the administration with which he agreed,
but that he couldn't talk about those with which he
disagreed ! ! !
TOR ADULT, presumably intelligent men to permit
this sort of situation to arise is a sad commentary
in a land where the ballot is the ultimate authority in
the conduct of public affairs.
A "non-partisan" rule listening to both sides
would be entirely appropriate and proper, but a "non-
pohtical rule, particularly when interpreted to mean
a silly pretense that politics doesn't exist, or, if it does,
is of no importance, is the height of something or
other.
"Politics" is NOT something that hangs in a void
somewhere. It is the way you and I, and the guy next
door, do things to get the sort of government we think
we should have. The last thing we should try to do is
isolate ourselves from it. E.A.
Third Industry
An estimated $141 million was brought into Ore
gon this year by visitors from other states.
That is a lot of money. It is more "new" money for
the state than from any other single line of endeavor,
except for two: lumbering and agriculture. It makes
the "tourist industry" the
m the state.
THE total "take" this year is up from an estimated
$127 million in 1955; the total number of visitors
was estimated at 3,453,000, traveling in 1,096,000
cars, which were increases of 216,000 persons and
65,000 cars over the previous year.
The travel information division of the state high
way department also believes the visitors stayed long
er than before, on the average, and spent more while
here.
The figures are significant, first, to service sta
tions, hotels, motels, restaurants, and others. But re-
member, the operators and
cies live here, spend their money here, and contribute
to the general health of the state's economy. That's
why the "tourist industry" is important to all of us.

Hunting "Laws" i
To the Editor: The following
Game Laws and Regulations I
found amusing, and thought you
might too:
1. All deer hunters will sound
horn at intervals of 10 yards
when proceeding through any
woodland.
2. Slow-moving hunters will
keep to the right and allow fast
moving hunters to pass.
3. A hunter about to stop and
shoot wiU hold out his hand to
indicate which direction he in
tends to shoot.
4. Isolated hunters will be re
quired to send up flares (colored)
at intervals of 30 seconds.
5. Other hunters may shoot
at the flares but not at the
hunter.
6. All hunters separated from
the main body - and wishing to
move through the brush shall use
a banner not less than 8 feet
long and 4 feet high with the in
scription: "Positively not a deer,
elk, moose or other quadruped."
7. Any hunter mistaking a
fellow hunter for a deer or oth
er animal, and shooting at him
and missing shall forfeit his am
ateur standing, and be penal
ized 25 yards for unnecessary
roughness.
8. Any hunter shooting at an
other and hitting him shall ' be
considered guilty of profession
alism, and have his license sus
pended for 60 days.
9. In circumstances where two
hunters shoot at each other at
the same time and both miss,
both shall proceed to the nearest
zoological garden and leave it
to the keeper to decide which
looks the more like that animal.
The hunter so designated shall
return to the heavy brush and
allow the other man to take five
shots at him.
10. It shall be the duty of the
warden to place stuffed heads
(deer, moose and elk) on trees at
intervals of every 500 yards in
all forests so hunters will know
what they look like.
11. The placing of soft hats,
collars and sports shirts on the
animals to confuse other hunters
shall be considered unsportsman
like. 12. Whenever a hunter thinks
he sees a deer, elk or moose, he
shall blow a police whistle three
times before firing. The test is
this: If it really is a deer, elk or
moose, it will rise and ask for
a cigarette.
13. All hunters shall at all
times obey the traffic laws gov
erning deer hunting and care
fully observe the signals.
14. Red light in the traffic
tower shall be interpreted as
meartfng deer ahead, but only
open to east or west bound
hunter.
15. Green light indicates deer
ahead, but only open to north or
south bound hunter.
18. No hunter shall bag more
than two deer, four game war
dens, or five innocent bystand
ers in one day.
Good hunting.

Wanted Humane Society .
To the Editor: In most coun
tries, Oct. 4 is World Day for
Animals, the day dedicated to
St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint
of animals. We are urged by
most humane societies to think,
speak, act for suffering animals.
Kindness to animals is surely
one of the greatest virtues; above
all, because of their helpless
ness and dependence upon man.
All the finest men in history
have believed this. The great re
ligions, too, have taught the
Oneness of all life and the vital
importance of extending love
and compassion to every fellow-
being without exception even
the very humblest.
Unfortunately, much cruelty
still persists and is practiced in
so many ways. Unwanted pets
are dropped on the roadside
or left to starve and run wild
as an indifferent owner moves
to a new residence. Animals die
slowly in traps that torture
them. Unenlightened farmers are
cruel in exterminating benefi
cial animals like hawks, skunks
and snakes to name but a few.
Cruelty to livestock, kicking,
striking and transporting ani
mals in overloaded trucks with
sharp corners and protruding
nails, is as yet too prevalent.
We had an editorial recently
on the cruelties practiced in the
slaughtering of animals. Then
there is bull-fighting and many
other forms of so-called enter
tainment where helpless ani
mals are exploited. Progress can
be made in reducing pain, ne
glect and fear imposed upon so
many pets and other animals by
thoughtless, callous p e o pi e
through a properly functioning
humane society. Let us have one

A Man of Stature
To the Editor: Oregon has
contributed many phases of
worth to the total magnificence
of these 48 states, but none
greater than its gift of Wayne
Morse to the U. S. Senate.
We, in Nebraska, because we
have allowed ourselves to drift
into a stage of total traditional
ism, are'virtually unrepresented
in that all-important body. For
sooth, since the passing away of
our Sen. George Norris, who like
Wayne Morse was representative
of the common peoples' interest
throughout the nation, we have
become notorious as a negative
voting state! We have placed the
Hruskas and the Wherrys in
places of power, with shame de
served. As things stand now, we
have to depend upon Senators
from Oregon and a few other en
lightened states. We owe much
to Oregon's voters. This is but
one of the many testimonials
that need to be written.
We in Nebraska need Senator
Morse in there, despite the dis
pleasure of Mr. Eisenhower. We
need him to safeguard our pub
lic power . . . our one-house
legislature, our water rights, our
labor standards. We need him
to give his powerful voice and
his great humane heart to the
cause of our farmers everywhere
. Oregon, Nebraska, and all.
We need his great statesmanship
in the greatest deliberative body
in the world, for there is no
guarantee that international af
fairs will continue to wallow
through warlike, but warless,
behavior.
Wayne Morse, in the estima
tion of earnest, observing Ne-
braskans, has attained a stature
that is a living reminder of the
need to have about 16 of our
senators elected from the entire
U.S.A. and called Senators at
Large. He and Kefauver and
Douglas and Magnuson' are the
type who are in there fighting
when fighting needs be done.
Though we who have the
"againsters" fronting for us in
Washington hardly are in a posi
tion to advise other states what
to do . . . still we venture the
plea . . . Keep that trustworthy
man in there.

Good Record of Canal Piloting
Seen Point in Nasser's Fayor
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Egypt will have at least one
strong point in its favor when
the United Nations Security
Canal dispute
Friday.
That is, that
canal traffic is
moving n o r
mally under
Egyptian di
rection despite
the walkout of
about 180 for

Caajles M. HcCfcnji
It was predicted that calam
ity would result when the pilots
quit on Sept. 15 because of Pres
ident Gamal Abdel Nasser's at
tempt to seize full control of the
world's most important canal.
Nasser was left with about 80
Egyptian and Greek pilots and a
scattering of others, not all qual
ified to handle ships of any ton
nage.
Calamity may come, especially
when bad weather sets in. But as
of now, it has not.

Pilots have arrived from the
United States, Russia, Greece and
other countries to start training
for canal work.
Dispatches from Cairo which
there is no reason to doubt, say
that about 37 ships a day are
moving through the tricky wa
ters of the 10-mile canal which
links the Mediterranean and Red
Seas. The previous daily average
was 41.
Egyptian Foreign Minister
Mahmoud Fawzi will be able to
cite this fact when the Security
Council invites him to speak in
its debate.
Another strong point in Nas
ser's favor will be the danger
ous division between the United
States on one side and Great
Britain and France on the other
about Suez Canal policy.
Blames United States
Britain and France are keenly
aware that Nasser, when he de
creed "the nationalization of the
internationally owned and op
erated canal, blamed the United
States for his action.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles had announced the with-

He refuses to answer newsmen's
questions as to whether he will
seek a new political career in
Germany. He merely answered:
"Such a man as I can have
only one task to remain silent
and feel his way back into the
world."
A BOUT aU that can be said for
Doenitz is that he took the
wrong road and has suffered for
it. Suffering sometime brings
out good qualities in a man if
he had any good qualities to
start with.
At any rate, Doenitz's future

drawal of the proposed United
States aid to Egypt in building
the great Aswan Dam, Nasser's
dream of bringing prosperity to
his impoverished country.
Britain and France were
ready to use military force to
keep the canal open. The United
States rejcted that idea.
Instead a series of schemes
was proposed by Dulles to insure
international control of canal
traffic and, if Nasser refused to
agree, to put an economic
squeeze on Egypt.
These schemes have been pro
gressively watered down. Now
15 canal-using countries have
formed in London a "Suez Canal
Users Association" to handle the
Suez situation. But nobody
seems to know what the associ
ation is supposed to do or can do
if Nasser doesn't cooperate.
Solution Appears Dim
It is most unlikely that either
the Security Council or the U.N.
General Assembly, which holds
its annual meeting in New York
starting Nov. 12, can do any
thing to solve the dispute.
Russia can veto any action
against Egypt in the council.
The Asian-African bloc of na
tions, and' the Soviet bloc, can
prevent the necessary two-thirds
vote by the assembly in favor of
any action they oppose.
Hence the outlook is either for
a compromise betwen the canal
users and Egypt or a long-range
economic battle.
It is indicated that a compro
mise is quite possible still. But it
probably would be a compro
mise that would leave Nasser a
happy man and increase the di
vision between the United States
and its two chief allies.
