But "whist" off they go to that bourne from which, as far as available records go, they will never return. 17E HAVE in mind, at this time particularly, Phil " Parrish, who was editor of the editorial page of the Oregonian for nearly ing the late 60 s, we frequently called on while in Portland. We were never close not see eye-to-eye politically, but he was a delightful and rewarding person to current events, educational you, nor was the somewhat sial game of politics ever We always came away with increased admiration for the young man with that rank and rampant head of bushy dark hair he naturally (to any egg-head ob server) , appeared younger than he was and with re gret that he did not own therefore write as freely as VU'E DON'T mean to indicate that Phil Parrish ever had a wandering eye from a strict party stand point. He was no doubt, a lican he would hardly have held his job long if he had not been but he had too much intelligence and humor to indulge in any elephantine GOP worship, and off-the-record, he was ic of both parties. He had a special allergy for the "Old Guard" troglodytes and isolationists in the GOP as he did for the extreme and fanatical New Dealers, and while the undersigned did not always agree with the latter comments, it was always interesting and often enlightening to hear them. THE PERIOD of our acquaintance preceded the "rise and fall" of Joe McCarthy and McCarthy ism, but we never doubted what he thought about both and if he had had a paper of his own, how he would have gone after them the David and Goliath scen ario would have been a tame affair in comparison. Not that Phil was ever the the stones in his sling-shot e TXETWERE surprised to from the Oregonian and not knowing it was due to illness expected to hear he had decided to devote himself entirely to historical writing or perhaps fol low the example of Bill Tugman of the Eugene Register-Guard and get a small paper of his own. . The news of his death, therefore, came as a com plete surprise and shock we had not pictured him as Tennyson's brook "going on forever" but we did think he was going on in the journalistic or literary field or both for a long time. And it is a great loss to both in this state, that we were so sadly mistaken. R.W.R. "Fortune Looks at Oregon Fortune, the big-business magazine, in its current issue reviews "Five Hot Senate Races" that may de termine which party will have control of the U. S. Sen ate next year. The first and hottest is the Oregon con test between Senator Wayne Morse and ex-Secretary Douglas McKay. Here are some of the observations of Fortune's reporter after his visit to Oregon, quote: "Prior to 1954 (McKay last ran for office in 1950) there was something of a civil-service atmosphere about cam paigning under the Republican banner in Oregon; GOP pluralities were dependable enough to ensure the election of primary winners without any messing around with 'issues.' "But there are good grounds for believing many. Repub licans wanted someone more liberal than McKay, who though sympathetic to Ike is rather drably conservative in viewpoint." Relating how McKay, campaigning in "Pete and Mary's" cafe in Joseph, hurled his customary epithet of "Socialist" at a Democrat who happened to dis agree with him about Hells Canyon, Fortune's report er concludes: "This little episode . . . underscores the by now well established McKay proclivity for putting his foot in his mouth . . . Unhappily, his talent for saying the wrong thing is not balanced by any aptitude for saying the right thing with equal force." Fortune's reluctant forecast: A Morse victory in November. To which we may say, "Amen." 956 Is an Election Year! Senator William F. Knowland, Republican leader in the Senate, as quoted in U. S. News & World Re port for December 24, 1954 : "Granting the Communists an armistice in Korea was a mistake. I thought so at the time and I have not changed my views on that. I think the armistice is a farce." Senator William F. Knowland, as quoted by the Republican National Committee on September 5, 1956: "The whole nation knows that the Democrats tried vainly for 18 months to end the stalemated war in Korea. The people know that Dwight D. Eisenhower visited Korea and a peace ensued under which the Communists gained not One foot of ground." What could have changed Senator Knowland's mind? Senator Neuberger Thursday, October 18, 1958 may go but I go on forever." the brook. and go particularly go. them of late who can't be two decades and who dur friends, and even then did talk with on any subject problems and what have demented and controver taboo. the Oregonian and could he talked, and as well. loyal and conf irmed Repub a wise and penetrating crit "give 'em hell" type, but had sharp edges. e hear of Phil's retirement Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of e pen name or initial for publication is permissible.

"Forward Without Fear!" 10 the Editor: bociaism is a horrendous word. A Socialist is a hybrid of the Witch of Endor and the Devil. A Socialist has a forked tail, cloven hoofs, horns growing out of his forehead and breaths fire and smoke out of his mouth and nostrils. His eyes grow out on the end of a stalk like a crab's and he can shoot poison out of his eyes like a basilisk. (You can look that word up in the dictionary if you don't happen to know it. I did.) And a Socialist CREEPS. CREEPING SOCIALISM. So get down on your knees and thank Tricky Dick for saving us from CREEP ING SOCIALISM. Examples of Socialism in the United States include public ownership of the highways (U.S. or state), county roads, the post- office (which really ought to be sold to the highest bidder so some "malefactors of great wealth" could charge us what they please for transporting our letters), public schools (let's do away with all of them, they're subversive), government owner ship of waterways (the Columbia River yet belongs to all of us even if Hells Canyon doesn t), municipally owned power plants such as some Washington cities have so their electricity costs them about half what ours does. TVA (the big Dixon-Yates con tract didn't go over so big with the public, either), our county board of health, housing proj ects such as the payment to the City of Francisco of $162,000 in lieu of taxes by the San Fran cisco Housing Authority (10 per cent of authority's income from 3,672 low rental units now in operation). Old age pensions, social security, and unemploy ment insurance are Socialistic. Ask Mr. Eisenhower to repeal them and see what happens. Sure Socialism s creeping right up on you, Dick, just like the ocean crept up on King Canute when he sat in a chair by the ocean and commanded the tide not to dare soak his kingly feet. Look out it doesn t happen to you like it did to Lot's wife you might turn into a pillar of salt if you don't look forward instead of always backward. America is going forward, not traveling backwards like a lob ster swims. Americans have bet ter brains than the lobster. Look up the word Socialism in the dictionary. Don t let Bogeyman Dick scare you. The great English writer H. G. Wells was a Socialist. So was George Bernard Shaw. The U.S.A. made great prog ress under 20 years of Demo cratic administration. Forward march. Democrats. Let the Re publicans look back. We're not afraid. We're going ahead. Edith Y. Ingle 38 Bessie St. Medford, Ore. Against McKay and Kefauver To the Editor: With so much to be said for and against both teams in their all-out slugfest for the presidency of the USA, it's hard to decide for which to vote, as party lines mean nothing at all to us. But when Kefauver came out recently for repeal of the Taft-Hartly law, that cooked both him and his teammate's hash, for our votes. Of course, he knew full well he would have little chance of doing that, if elected. He knows the labor unions and every right thinking person knows that it is the only ruling that gives job-providing industry a fighting chance, rec ognizes public rights and gives some protection to the union member against his union, gone predatory. But Mcriay wltn nis lavornism give-aways will be eased out of our voting the same as he was of his Secretary of Interior sine cure, but with no "so sorry dear McKay," from us. Morse has pulled some moves that don't sit too weU with us here. But , he has proved his sincerity and dis played lion-courage in staying with principle regardless of votes, just the reverse of Mc Kay's "principles mean nothing, it s the votes that count. How anyone can cast their sacrificed wealth, tears and blood, and vote for a, er, (must not call names) a citizen of that mental standing and reasoning, is be yond me. F. J. Clifford 1211 West Main st. Medford, Ore. GOP Tactics Disgusting To the Editor: I am descended from a line of staunch California Republicans. I cast my first vote for Herbert Hoover, and I con tinued to be a Republican and to be proud of it until I moved from California to Jackson coun ty and witnessed at first hand the kind of rabble-rousing tac tics the Republican Central Committee of Jackson county stooped to employ in its mis guided and wholly unsuccessful efforts to prevent the election of Richard Neuberger to the U.S. Senate. At that time, I became so thoroughly disgusted nause ated perhaps is a better word that I changed my registration from Republican to Democrat as a personal protest. Now, unable to profit from their own mistakes of the past, both county and state Republi can Central committees are em ploying the same kind of un savory mixture of half-truths, distortions, and down-right false hoods in their attempt to defeat Senator Wayne Morse, whose one unpardonable sin was his refusal to place party loyalty above his own integrity as an individual. Any political organi zation or group that seeks to exact that kind of sacrifice from its members is doing a great disservice to the cause of Ameri can democracy, Most assuredly it is not one in which I choose to have any part, nor is it one into whose care and keeping I can confidently place the gov ernment of my county, my state, or my country. From the outset of his politi cal career in the U. S. Senate, Senator Morse has been a person for whom I have held the great est admiration because he dares to stand for what he believes to be right, even though he stands alone a quality so rare in present-day public servants as to be virtually non - existent. During his years in office, he has done a tremendously-constructive job for the people of Oregon, for the people of the District of Colum bia, and for the American peo ple as a whole. Certainly I will do everything I can to aid in his re-election. In the words of Bonara Wilk inson Overstreet: "You say the litUe efforts that I make will do no good. They never will prevail to tip The hovering scale where jus tice hangs in balance. I do not think I ever thought they would But I am prejudiced beyond debate In favor of the right to choose which side Shall bear the stubborn ounces of my weight." Grace N. Pearson Route 2, Box 50 Jacksonville, Ore. Who is 'Joe Smith'? To the Editor: The Democratic party has built up a character they choose to call "Joe Smith", who is supposed to symbolize all "little" people. He has been presented as an affable, smiling, long suffering, underprivileged working man who wants so much to be noticed and praised, wants his government to give him all the things which others achieve through hard work, in telligent thrift and honest effort. Their Joe Smith does indeed represent "little" people, the "small" kind. He is the kind of person who would register in the- Republican Party, whose principles he does not believe in, infiltrate the party organization, worm himself into the good graces of its leadership by being the helpful, ingratiating sup porter of a cause he is not in sympathy with; his objective to become a delegate to its conven tion in order to create there con fusion and disruption, if possible; and to ridicule and cause doubt and suspicion among its mem bers. He is the "little" individual who would seek to divide the Re publican party while he works with the Democratic party to swell its membership by feeding the busy laborer and uninformed citizen a mess of half truths, out right lies and hope for fuzzy, phantom future benefits in order to gain sympathy and support. Joe Smith pictures the labor ing man as a paranoiac, sorry for himself and suspicious of all things, the present Guvmant in particular. - This smaU individual is the kind who uses the whispering technique and the anonymous threatening letter in an attempt to deceive and mislead the elec torate and intimidate honest public officials. It is time Joe Smith be un masked before the people he claims to bleed for. "Littleness" has no place in the government of a country where peace is at stake; where prosperity can be achieved by anyone who is willing to work for it through his own effort; a government which has been manned for four years by intelli gent, successful Americans of high principles and honorable backgrounds. Let's not insult the laboring man, the small business man, or the farmer by accepting Joe Smith" as his leader and spokes man. After all, the laborer, the small business man, nor the farmer need put on a false face to fight for what they believe in. They can read, think and evaluate for themselves, even though the bleeding hearted "Joe Smith" bleats to the con trary. Joe Smith, unmasked, looks a mighty "little" man! Bereth Jf . Hopkins Jackson County Clerk MORE EXPLORATION Washington (U.R) French Ambassodar Herve Alphand was asked Wednesday at a National Press Club lunch how American girls compare with French girls. The ambassador replied he doubted he had been in this country long enough to make a real comparison, then added, "I want to continue a little more exploration on this matter and perhaps can give a reply in a month." Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop JOE CLARK'S TOWN Philadelphia If the Demo crats carry Pennsylvania for Adlai Stevenson, which is now their central hope, the very least they can do is to erect a g r a t ef u 1, commemo r a tive statue of Joseph S. Clark Jr. in one of this city's pleasant, jo&epn Aisop squares. With a professionally trained companion, John Kraft, this re porter has just finished an ardu ous round of door to door poll ing in the old 25th Ward. The experience was rich and in teresting in many ways. But the overwhelming single impression that it left behind was an im pression of the far-reaching character of the political revolu tion that Joe Clark has effected here with the help of his suc cessor in the Philadelphia may or's office, Richardson Dilworth. Back in 1951, decades after most other big cities had gone over to the Democrats, Clark finally drove out Philadelphia's ancient, squalid and deeply en trenched Republican machine. He then began the job as one simple Negro woman described it "of pulling this here city right up out of the dumps. ONE result of Clark's success is a political phenomenon wholly novel in this reporter's experience. Everyone who has attempted door-to-door polling is familiar with the Franklin Roosevelt Democrats the peo ple who tell you, "we were al ways Republicans until FDR came along, but we've been good Democrats ever since." But in the 25th Ward we actually found considerable numbers of Joe Clark Democrats people who had changed their party allegiance only five or six years ago because of Clark. Without these Joe Clark Democrats, Adlai Stevenson could not have carried Philadel phia by 160,000 votes four years ago; and he would have little hope today of carrying Phila delphia by a sufficient majority to put all of Pennsylvania in the Democratic column. Judging by the 25th Ward, however, Steven son now has that hope. At any rate, the Pennsylvania race looks like being pretty close. Yet Clark may not need a bronze image to betoken the gratitude of his party, eitHer The responses of the 25th Ward voters also indicate that Clark's own Philadelphia m aj o r i t y ought to elect him to the Senate seat he is now seeking. He is running far ahead of Adlai Stevenson in this city, and therefore he is .really snowing under his Republican opponent, Sen. James Duff. INDEED, there is a strong spirit of picking and choosing in the 35th Ward nowadays, which was -perhaps best sym bolized in an extreme form, by Morris Stein. Stein, who runs a corner drugstore at 2824 Frank ford Ave., was positively vitrio lic about President Eisenhower, who he blamed for the current hard blight of small business men like himself. He was equal ly vitriolic about Adlai Steven son, " whose campaigning had "disgusted" him. "I'll not vote for either of the damn thieves," Stein snorted. "But I'll go to the polls just to vote for Joe Clark, the best mayor this city ever had." But besides this strong senti ment for Joe Clark, we got oth er interesting results in the 25th Ward, which is a solid, stolid, shabby but somehow homely working class district bordering on the Reading Railroad yards. In the endless, gray streets of small, old houses many people own their own homes, and a fair number are still Republicans despite Joe Clark. The 25th ! Ward gave Eisenhower 6,892 j votes against 10,493 for Adlai Stevenson four years ago. This I J SS J?" LM Take The Offices of Coroner and Surveyor Out of Politics!

DEMOCRATIC STATEMENT The old adage, attributed to various characters in literary history, "Like Me, Like My Dog," is currently being applied to President Eisenhower, on the one hand, and his administration on the other. It is being used strongly by the Republicans in the I Like Ike, slogan. Certainly, it is one thing to like Ike. Many people do. They like Ike, the man. But do they like his "dog," his administra tion? That is quite another thing, and like the old character, if you like Ike, you gotta like his dog. vv ell, a lot of people don t like Ike's dog, and for good reason. Since the two are inseparable, let's make some comparisons. On Oct. 4, 1952, Candidate Eisenhower promised the farm ers 90 per cent of parity, and promised to work for 100 per cent. And what did he do after he got elected? The Eisenhower administration gave farmers a sliding Benson scale. It gave them a "triple B" program, Benson, Below Parity, and Bankruptcy. Under the Democratic admin istration, farmers had been more prosperous than any time m history. Their products were sold at or above parity. Farm mortgages were at the lowest level in history. Farmers were on an equal footing with others, Ike changed all that. Candidate Eisenhower, in 1952, promised the people of the Tennessee Valley that he would give the TVA maximum support. He promised to carry on the great program of area develop ment. And what did he do? He tried to turn the entire project over to private power interests, and went so far as to enter into the notorious Dixon-Yates con tract. He publicly termed the TVA as creeping socialism. In contrast, the Democratic admin istration works for area develop ment, for the greatest good for the greatest number, in Oregon, in the Northwest, and in the Tennessee Valley. Candidate Eisenhower, in 1952, promised to reduce taxes. was a good Republican showing in such a district. 'Iiuda, several - pulls are visibly at work on the 25th Ward voters as they approach their choice for the .Presidency Other small merchants are as angry with the President as Mor ris Stein, but the others we talked to were now ready to vote foe Stevenson. A significant percentage of working class families who chose Eisenhower last time are also thinking like Mrs. Wanda Mishak, of 2008 Hartlane St. "My husband and I are back and forth about it, but I guess we re going to vote Democratic, even although we re not sorry we picked Ike four years ago. Mrs. Mishak said. "Ike's a good man, but there s Nixon; he both ers us. And then we think the Democratic party's more on the side of folks like us." Yet there are other 25th Ward people like Walter Daniels, a young bakery - worker of 2959 Memphis St. He voted Demo cratic in 1952 but now thinks things are going too good to change Presidents." Over-all, therefore, our poll of 128 persons in the ward indi cated that Stevenson was domg only a hair better than holding his own so far although there were others beside Morris Stein who did not like Stevenson's campaigning. The Democrats allege that if Stevenson does well in Philadel phia, he will carry Pennsylvania by a small margin. But that theory also depends on what happens in the rest of the state. Copyright 1958 New York Herald Tribune Inc. QUALIFICATIONS FOR COUNTY CORONER AND SURVEYOR. Purpose: To amend Oregon 4 Constitution by authorizing legislature to prescribe qualification for office of county coroner and county surveyor. He did. Corporation taxes were reduced by $200 million. You, as an individual taxpayer, know how much your taxes were re duced. The Democrats attempted to give the small taxpayer the reduction, but were opposed by the Eisenhower administration. Candidate Eisenhower prom ised to increase prosperity. He did. During the Eisenhower ad ministration corporation profits have increased $8 billion. The average personal income of the great middle class group in the United States has increased $8 per year, and cost of living is the highest in history. What the man. promises, and what the dog gives, are two dif ferent things, and since, with President Eisenhower, it is a case of "Love Me, Love My Dog," there isn't much to do but turn them out. The dog has fleas. REPUBLICAN STATEMENT Here's the breakdown of Re publican Prosperity: Employment: 66 V4 million in June, highest in history four million higher than the Demo crats highest peak, in' war-time August, 1951. Wages set new June records at $1.98 per hour and $79.40 weekly per average factory worker. This is 25 cents an hour and $7.26 a week more than the highest rates ever reached under the Democrats. Real wages are also much higher because Republicans have held the value of the dol lar to within 2 cents of its Jan uary 1953 value. In contrast, Truman's dollar lost 33 cent of its April 1945 value by January 1953. Cost of Living index is now 116.2 up 2 per cent under Re publicans, compared to 12 per cent increase in Truman's last 3V4 years. Gross National Product, America's total production, is now running at an all-time rec ord rate of $403 billion a year, 17 per cent above Truman's highest year wartime 1952. Per capita disposable income is also highest in history, at the rate of about $1,658 per year per person. This means that every man woman and child averages $150 a year more to spend under Republicans than they ever did under Democrats. Family income: The nation's 52 million families averaged $5,520 income per family in 1955 before taxes, the highest in his tory. Fifty nine per cent of U. S. families had before tax incomes of $4,000 or more. Av erage three-year family income under Eis-jnhower was $5,410 nearly $100 higher than Tru man's last three years, which covered the Korean war. Our country is doing very weU today and its future will be bright if the Eisenhower poli cies are continued. Nothing is more important in America than jobs millions of good jobs. To day, more people are working, earning more money in more and better jobs, than ever before in this-country. We have heard many fine - sounding promises lately but actions speak louder than words. The American peo ple in those good jobs, enjoying record prosperity under the policies of the Eisenhowir Ad ministration, will not trade a record for a promise. Our present prosperity comes from the confidence of 169,000, 000 Americans in the continu ance of the sound policies of this Administration. With this, confidence they are moving for ward as never before. Unless they are given some reason to fear a departure from these sound policies, this country can continue to rise to new peaks of well being for' all of the American people to enjoy. YES X NO.
