Six For Sheriff
This is another in a series of editorials briefly
discussing the offices at stake in the primary election,
and the candidates.
Six men are running for the office of sheriff
of Jackson county in the primary election. Three
are after the Republican nomination; three after
the Democratic nomination.
The Republicans are :
Joseph D. Walsh, Central Point. Walsh is a
young man who has spent all his adult years in
one form or another of law enforcement. He is
now chief deputy under Sheriff Howard Gault,
who is not running for reelection. Walsh is clean
cut, appears to be able and experienced, and so
far as we can learn, has a good record in office.
Vern Smith, Ashland. Smith has had 20 years
of experience in law enforcement, some of it as
weighmaster, some of it as Ashland patrolman
and police chief, some as a forester, and some of
if as deputy sheriff. His record is clean and
sound. He also has taken an interest in a number
of civic affairs other than just his job.
Ralph A. Larson, Eagle Point. Larson for 10
years was a deputy in the Los Angeles county
shernt s department, and
scientific" approach to
present, he is in business.
HE Democratic candidates are :
Earle E. Fichtner. Medford. Fichtner (not
to be confused with his
of Mediord police) also
a deputy sheriii here.
Larrv Sheehan. Roene River. Sheehan, a
7 CZJ
businessman, has had no
experience, but stresses
annroach in the office,
- x ' s
collection division. He has been active in Demo
cratic party politics.
Raymond R. Ko'ch, Central Point. Koch Has
been a "private investigator," operating his own
detective agency in the county. He has voiced
no platf orm, but says if elected will let his actions
speak for themselves.
"THE sheriff's office has: four principal func-
tions. He is the tax collector for the county,
processing some $5 million annually; he is the
custodian of the jail ; he has a civil department
which serves summonses and other legal papers,
and, best known of the four, he is the county's
chief law enforcement officer, maintaining order
principally outside of the incorporated cities.
The job demands integrity and honesty of a
high order; it must be conducted with a maximum
of impartiality and good horse sense; it needs
a professional approach to law enforcement, and
the humility and diplomacy which make the dif
ference between a "tough cop" and a public
servant who must preserve law and order, and
respect the rights of the public.
THE sheriff must be equipped to work with
other police agencies, those in the cities and
towns, and the state police. (In many counties
there is friction between the sheriff and the state
officers, but when an effort is made clearly to
delineate responsibility and to work coopera
tively, the job can be done.)
And, like all public officers, ' the sheriff
should be open and above-board in his dealings;
his public and press relations should be good, so
that his thousands of "bosses," the voters and
taxpayers, can know how-well he is fulfilling
his public trust. E.A.

great hullabaloo is being
raised about the need for

educational standards to the
level of mediocrity. In the
present world struggle of the
survival of the fittest, we need
to turn out from our colleges
something considerably better
than mediocre teachers, scien
tists, and businessmen. The
colleges need something to
work with in the first place;
the large numbers of purpose
less, immature high school
graduates who find their way
into our colleges have no busi
ness there.
Frequently I am asked if I
do not think the large num
bers who flunk out of college
do not constitute a great na
tional waste of manpower.
The real waste is for colleges
to continue to use funds for
more buildings to house more
and more incompetents who
are bound to flunk out; or
who, if they don't flunk, will
drag down the level of per
formance. The problem which
confronts us is one of intellec
tual honesty.' It begins with
secondary school headmasters
who, with tongue in cheek,
recommend for admission to
college individuals whom they
must know are not qualified
for college.
Many college directors of
admissions will tell you, in
confidence, that the supply of
fitted students is far from
abundant. I could give cases
in which principals have made
parents, pupils, and college
officials believe the young
people were something they
really were not. They got
them into college with obvi
ously abstruse recommenda
tions; then left them for the
college authorities to flunk
out and send home. I am told
that a certain prep school
guarantees your son's admis
sion to the college of his
choice, or your money back.
what that school does not
guarantee is to keep the son
in college.

JUST IVWIH) TDpL W
A college education for sons
and daughters is eagerly
sought today by many parents
more as a mark of social ac
complishment than for the
learning the degree should
represent. One college dean
has said this about the attitude
of parents whose children
flunk: The amazing reaction
many times is: "But my son
just can't flunk; what will the
neighbors think?"
Inferior educational prepa
ration for college, or in col
lege, cannot be cured just by
raising teachers' salaries and
building new buildings. First,
there must be a rekindling of
the will to learn something
parents have a lot more to do
with than they will admit.
Second, colleges must make of
education a privilege, not a
right. Perhaps Sputnik No. 1
will prove to have been our
great educational Pearl Har
bor, a jolt into the realization
that for self-defense we had
better become intellectually
honest with one another.
Young People's Role
I wish thoughtful young
people had more of an oppor
tunity to speak out without
fear of incriminating them
selves with their teachers. One
young man recently wrote a
plaintive letter to the editor
of a large city newspaper. In
it he made a plea to the school
committee of that city to stop
wasting the time of talented
students. He said that good
teachers spend too much time
with children who do not
want to learn. His plea was to
throw out the non-learners, to
group homogeneously the
bright children who want to
learn, and to discipline severe
ly those who would make a
joke out of school.
Our young people must be
come very familiar with the
fact that the "cold war" is a
struggle of intellect. They
must know why our schools
must raise their standards,
from the elementary grades
up. Our colleges and universi
ties should hold their admis
sions standards high, barring
those who cannot qualify and
flunking those who are look
ing for a four - year loaf on
father. More selective admis
sions policies and a tightening
of standards would find many
colleges with much less of a
teacher and building shortage
problem than they now ap
pear to have. It is not neces
sarily more money that our
schools need.

that people of Oregon who

How Not To Vote
To the Editor: To ,the for

to everybody's victim, the
taxpayer. You are now getting
much advice on how you
should vote. Please let me
suggest how you should NOT
vote.
Po not vote for an official
who thinks that a surplus in
the county treasury is foolish
and positively sinful, and who,
to change this condition,
would raise every depart
ment's budget and every
worker's salary in the court

idea they were "born to com

after the court and the budget
committee spent weeks to
draft a budget which they
thought would be fair, to you.
Then come these minor offi
cials with a budget they have
made up which is so much
higher it makes the court's
and community's budget look
sick.
Do not vote for a person
who can't stand it to hear
the words "Economy in Gov

Not Very Worried
To the Editor: I always look
at communications in the Mail
Tribune, and while I soirie
times wonder that you bother
to print some of the letters
sent in, I appreciate your
t o le r a n t attitude regarding
the opinions of others.
My reason for writing is
the result of a letter appear
ing in the Sunday paper. Or
dinarily I consider religious
subjects to be a bit sacred to
discuss in a newspaper col
umn, but this attack seems
to merit an answer.
It is unfortunate that Mr.
Krauss was raised under a
"State Church" regime. An
example of that and its re
sults is Russia before the
overthrow of Communism.
Christian politicians are an
advantage, but State religion
where our ministers have to
have government approval,
and school teachers are re
quired to have church ap
proval, is bad.
Mr. Krauss inferred that he
accepted the Gospel of Christ.
Of that I am a bit doubtful.
I can not imagine anyone
who has ever been a Christ
ian accusing us of "worship
ing" the Holy Bible. We "wor
ship" it's "Author" who in
spired "Holy Men of Old" to
write it. Certainly we revere
the Bible because we feel it
is God's own instruction to
us. But worship it? No! The
Bible not a moral guide?
Where, Mr. Krauss, is a better
basis for morals than "Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self"? The "shocking epi
sodes" you mention came as
men refused to walk accord
ing to their consciences and
as a result were brought into
trouble, teaching us the ines
capable law of "sowing and
reaping." Contradictions? .- I
gladly challenge anyone to
give me a direct contradic
tion from the Holy Bible.
The Christian religion has
stood the test of centuries in
spite of skeptics, modernists,
unfriendly scientists and dic
tators. I am not very worried
about the effect of one man's
"reasoning powers."
In conclusion I would like
to suggest that Mr. Krauss
study the "inspired Book." To
escape fear? No, to find peace
of mind and heart that noth
ing else will bring. Try read
ing from beginning to end the
Gospel of Saint John.

Two Editorial Points
Are Questioned
To the Editor: In your ex
cellent editorial of April 21,
1958, concerning the judges,
you briefly mentioned two
points I question:
1. You inferred that Judge
Kelly was opposed to capital
punishment and that Mr,
Nunley favored it.
2. You mentioned that Mr.
Nunley had his past exper
ience as a prosecutor while
Judge Kelly had served as de
fender.
Why is either of these a
campaign issue?
Under Oregon law, the
death penalty is imposed by
the jury. The judge has noth
ing to say about it.-
Who, besides a district at
torney, can prosecute? Mr.
Nunley couldn't defend ac
cused persons when he was
district attorney, and he can
no longer prosecute them
since he was defeated for re
election; he now is like any
other lawyer (including Judge
Kelly before he became a
judge) and if he is going to

Knowland's Venture
Could Remodel GOP
Political Strategy
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington HP) Sen.
William F. Knowland is well
started on a venturesome ex-
periment
which could
remodel Re
publican Party political
strategy.
K n owland
is a candidate
for this year's
R e p u b 1 ican
g u bernatorial
Lyie c. Wilson nomination in
California. There and in the
Senate where he is GOP lead
er, Knowland is tramping nois
ily in a dangerous area where
most of his Republican associ
ates fear to tread.
That is the area of organized
labor. Panding now in the Sen
ate is Knowland'h proposed
legislation to enforce demo
ractic practices in labor un
ions. Before California s vot
ers as part of his campaign
platform is Knowland's simi
lar proposal for state legisla
tion. .
At the state level, however,
Knowland favors state right-to-work
legislation and oppos
es c o mp u 1 s o r y unionism.
Knowland's luck in California
it will have to be as a de
fendant's attorney.
Isn't the real issue one of
competence? Which candi
date is capable of doing the
job? Assuming both are able
to do the work, then which
candidate is best fitted and
will do the best job?
As far as I personally am
concerned, there is no substi
tute, for ability and exper
ience, and Judge Kelly has
both!
Henry A. Wilson,

(Editor's Note: In these pre
election editorial comments,
every effort has been made
to give as factual and accur
ate a picture of the candi
date's experience and back
ground as possible, solely for
the information of the elec
torate and not to in any way
influence their final judg
ments. The interpretations
made and the conclusions
drawn by our correspondent
are needless to say, his own
and not this paper's. This pol
icy is something new in the
Mail Tribune's treatment of
party primaries, and was ad
opted this year because with
such a multitude of candi
dates running, and so many
relatively unknown, it seem
ed the Mail Tribune had a
certain obligation to give the
voters some of the broad sal
ient facts concerning them).

GET THE AUTO INSURANCE
PROTECTION YOU NEED NOW, AND
II!
No need for you to lay out heavy cash for auto
insurance protection. Allstate's Easy Payment
Plan lets you buy the insurance protection you
need now and make the payments over a
period of months.
And with Allstate's low rates, you may be
able to make substantial savings in auto insur
ance simply by switching to Allstate.
The most common saving is 20, compared
with rates of most other leading companies.
But savings isn't your only advantage with
Allstate. Wherever you drive, help is always as
near as the nearest phone. Claims are often set
tled "on the spot."
Wouldn't you be wise to get all the facts about
Allstate's broad protection and money-saving
low rates? Why not stop in or call today?

Remembers Taft Win
If Knowland should be
elected governor of California
next November, Republican
strategists probably would
take another look as their
party's labor policy, if such
exists. Such as it is, the Re
publican policy is one of ap
peasement although back in
1947, under pressure from the
late Robert A. Taft, congres
sional Republicans did enact
the Taft-Hartley Act.
Organized labor's leadership
went all out against that legis
lation, which they called a
slave labor law, and against
Taft as its principal author.
The fascinating political as
pect of that development be
came evident in Ohio's 1950
senatorial election.
Big Labor put all it had in
to the 1950 effort to beat Taft,
who was a candidate for re
election. Men and money pour
ed into Ohio to defeat the
principal sponsor of the Taft
Hartley Act.
Democratic Allianc
Taft swept Ohio. He carried
every industrial county. To do
so, the senator had to have
the votes of thousand of union
members who, obviously, re
jected their leadership. Taft'i
frontal attack on abuses with
in organized labor paid off big.
Taft wholly rejected the tim
id Republican strategy of ap
peasement, perhaps on the
theory that no imaginable de
gree of Republican appease
ment would divert the leader
ship of organized labor from
alliance with the Democratic
Party. That alliance was firm
ly established by Franklin D.
Roosevelt when he created the
left-of-center New Deal poli
tical coalition.
Knowland, a Taft disciple
who was hand-picked in 1953
to succeed to the Senate GOP
leadership, hopes to achieve
what Taft achieved in Ohio.
He remembers that Taft all
but won the Republican presi
dential nomination after his
Ohio triumph. Knowland
knows what he is up against.
Speaking this week before the
CIO Committee on Political
Education in California, he
said: "You have a powerful
and effective organization.
Your power in this state Cal
ifornia has become so great
it is no longer realistic to con
sider your organization as a
junior partner of the Demo
cratic Party."
Republican policy is to ig
nore such facts, hoping they
will go away.
