Liberals and
Every once in a. while, it seems, most writers
of editorials feel compelled to attempt-to define
the difference between a liberal and a conserva
tive. f J- ' '
- Most recent such -attempt to come to our at
tention was in the La Grande-Observer. ;
. The editorial commented:
"The average person who prides himself on being
a liberal is likely to define his liberalism in this way:
He is not afraid of change. He is willing to try some
thing new if it promises to make things better."
i -. Then it goes on to indicate that liberals have
become, increasingly, advocates of governmental
action to improve the condition of the country.
I
T ADDS:
"Conversely the man who opposes government in
tervention, or government control, or government reg
ulation, is likely to be considered the opposite of
liberal a reactionary."
It also points out that
by men seeking liberation from an excess of gov
eminent controls and interference with individual
lives..' . ;
"Somehow, .unaccountably," the Observer
says, "the definition of 'liberal' changed from one
who wanted less government to one who con
siders more government
everything.
Up to a point we can
ers editorial.
fXTE CAN agree, for instance,
not opposed to change if a
ising.
We agree that the least government necessaiy
is desirable. ..;
We agree that the founding fathers liberal
in their own way did seek a minimum of gov-
ermental controls and interference.
We agree that government is NOT neces
sarily "the answer to just about everything."
Where we arrive at a disagreement with the
Observer is at the point it implies that an ex
tension of government controls, aides and exten
sion is, of itself and necessarily, a bad thing.
.
CONDITIONS in this country when it consisted
f of. 13 under-populated colonies along the At
lantic seaboard,, and conditions now, with 50
states stretching from Alaska to Florida, and
Hawaii to Maine, with nearly 179 million people,
are vastly different.
he. problems are vastly different..
The solutions to these problems cannot be the
same as the solutions to the problems of 185 years
The needs of ; a . small, isolated agrarian re
public are not those of a large industrial nation,
intimately involved in the affairs of the world. "
f : -
CACH extension of governmental power and
authority and "interference" has been in re
sponse to a specific need. (Sometimes, it should
be pointed out, when the need has vanished, the
interference has remained
tine in many cases.)
Each of the departments of government was
established to meet a specific situation, and the
process is still going on. (It was only a tew
years ago, for instance, the department of
health, education and welfare was organized and
given cabinet status.) :
Most of the problems
tension of federal prowers were those which
could not be solved by private enterprise, by the
states, or by any measures on a less-than-nation-
al level.
CO, WHILE we may agree with the Observer
that a "liberal" is one who is not afraid of
change, as such, we would add something to
that. - '
We would say that a liberal is actively seek
ing solutions to the nation's ills; that he would
prefer them to be solved first, by the people in
volved; second by local units of government;
third, by the states.
But, rather than bungle along with no solu
tion at all, he is not afraid to seek federal leader
ship for solutions at the national level.
Too many people think of the federal gov
ernment' as something which is remote; imper
sonal, and, somehow, inimical to their interests.
.;
nrOO FEW see it for what it really is a po-
litical extension of their own needs and desires ;
an agency OF the people to do FOR the people
what they cannot do, or do as well, for them
selves. . :
In addition, too few think of the federal gov
ernment as an agency which, ultimately, is run
BY the people, through their votes and their
elected : representatives.
Government, even big government, is not evil
per se. It is only when it fails to be responsible
to the needs and desires of the people it is design
ed to serve that it becomes evil. i
To put it another way, government, of any
size, is good when the people are its master; gov
erment, of any size, is bad when it is master of
the people. E.A.

Matter of Fact
KENNEDY'S DILEMMA
Washington - Not long ago,
the backers of Sen. Stuart
Symington were cast down
into the depths of gloom, and
the camp of
Sen. J o h n F.
Kennedy was
filled with a
glow of hope,
by a simple
statement
from Mayor
Richard Daley-
of Chica
go. Joseph alsop m mis state
ment, which got almost no na
tional atention, Mayor Daley
merely indicated that he
would not be a candidate for
the Democratic nomination
for the Governorship of Il
linois. The Kennedy backers
had been praying for just this
statement, and the Syming
tonites ' had been praying,
even harder, for a statement
in just the opposite sense.
They both had good cause to
pray too. Mayor Daley was
known to feel that it would
be too much of a good thing
to ask the Illinois citizenry to
vote for a Catholic Democratic
Governor and a Catholic Dem
ocratic Presidential nominee
as well. If the Catholic Mayor
had decided to stand for the
Governorship, in other words,
the Symingtonites' claims to
the large Illinois convention
delegation might well have
been made good. Instead, the
Mayor's withdrawal opened
the way for Kennedy in Illi
nois. .
. .
SYMINGTON'S Illinois back
ers, the downstate leaders
John Stelle and William Pow
ell, made a brief, convulsive
effort to repair the damage by
securing the gubernatorial
nomination for another Cath
olic candidate. But they were
quickly over-ridden in the
state committee. The commit
tee decided, over the week
end, to endorse the candidacy
of County Judge tto Koerner,
a big Illinois vote-getter, a war
hero, and a Protestant.
With Koerner and Sen.
Paul Douglas heading his
state ticket, Mayor Daley will
now be ideally placed to give
Kennedy the 45 to 55 Illinois
delegates whom he will con
trol. Later on, in short, the
recent developments in Illi
nois may add up to another
break for Kennedy almost
equal to his handsome gain
in Ohio.
But this potential break for
Kennedy is a symbol, not just
of his high hopes, but also of
the grave risks that he must
still run to gain the great
prize. Mayor Daley is highly
unlikely to make any com
mitment until Kennedy has
proven himself in the state
primaries. Hence the battle
for the highly important ma
jority group in the big Illi
nois delegation is likely to be
decided, not in Illinois at all,
but in Wisconsin's crucial pri
mary. ON THE subject of the Wis
consin primary, there is a
deep split in the Kennedy
camp. The two leading polit
ical professionals who are
pledged to Kennedy, Con
necticut's Gov. Abraham Rib
icoff and Democratic State
Chairman John Bailey, have
loner been insisting that Ken
nedy must go into Wisconsin.
The risk of losing there, they
argue, is much less than the
risk of making nonsense of
the Kennedy- claim that he is
ready to take on all comers in
primary fights.
Senator Kennedy's closest
adviser, the head of his per
sonal staff, Theodore Soren
son,' is known to feel just the
other way about the risks in
Wisconsin. A poll in "depth"
recently taken in the state on
Kennedy's - behalf indicates
the reasons, both for Soren
son's caution and for Bailey's
and Robicoff s willingness to
gamble.' "
In brief, the polls showed
that Wisconsin's three' Con
Menace
about ruff: he nmt picks
By Joseph Alsop
gressional districts along the
Minnesota border were almost
sure for Sen. Hubert Hum
phrey of Minnesota, who is
making his major bid in Wis
consin. It showed that Ken
nedy might hope to take three
more districts, yet could not
count on doing so by any
means. And it showed Ken
nedy with a seemingly unas
sailable lead in the four east
ern, more industrial Wiscon
sin, districts, including the
Milwaukee area.
.
TTNDER the Wisconsin law,
- each Congressional dis
trict elects two convention
delegates; ten more are elect
ed by the winner of a state
wide majority in the primary;
and one more delegate vote is
split between the state's na
tional committeeman and na
tional commi tteewoman
These two are also split, one
for Humphrey and one for
Kennedy. Thus, if Kennedy
carries five districts and gets
a state-wide majority, he will
win 20V2 Wisconsin delegates
-enough to give him a solid
majority, so Bailey and Rib-
tcoff argue.
The great risk is, of course,
that Humphrey will carry all
six districts where he has a
chance. He is known to be
making progress in Wisconsin
and a Humphrey victory can
not be excluded. Therefore
Kennedy has lately been see
ing a lot of Wisconsin's Demo
cratic Sen. William Proxmire,
who is thought to be sure to
defeat Humphrey if he enters
the primary as a favorite son
Proxmire has disappointed
Kennedy to date, however, by
refusing to run as a favorite
son favorable to Kennedy.
Thus it is about a five to one
bet that Kennedy will finally
enter the hot Wisconsin pri
mary fight. If he does so, just
about everything will hang
upon the issue, including the
Illinois delegates,

Social Security's Future
To the Editor: I noted with
interest your informative edi
torial on Jan. 4, ' concerning
Social Security and taxes. I
was particularly interested in
the statement that "a notable
lack of public squawking
about increases gives support
to Representative Aime J.
Forand's (D.-R.I.) contention
that people are willing to pay
to get the benefits." It seems
to me that if people were to
stop and take a good look at
what is happening with re
spect to Social Security and
what is to happen in the near
future they would do a lot of
squawking.
. I wish to make it clear that
I am not opposed to the Social
Security program as such, but
I am very much concerned
about where we are going
with it and what we are doing
to the next generation. Being
an insurance man, I know that
the average young worker
coming under Social Security
can provide much better bene
fits for his family if he were
to die and for himself for old
age by the proper type of
planning and for the same
amount of money paid in,
than he can expect from So
cial Security. :
As the program was orig
inally set up it wm a good
thing- because it forced many
people, who would not do so
of their own free will, to pro
vide benefits for their families
if they were to die, and for
their retirement. However,
some were not satisfied with
this , and every congressional
session there are bills intro
duced, such as the Forand Bill, ,
Philosophical Shoe Store Owner Finds
Maxims and Axioms Aide in His Business
By DICK WEST
Washington - (UPD - Franz
Richey, as far as I know, runs
the only philosophical shoe
store in America.
The shoes I can't vouch for.
having never been a Richey
customer, but the philosophy
seems sound enough. It falls
into a category, or chasm,
somewhere between Schopen
hauer and Edgar A. GuesC
to raise benefits and lower age
limits. Since the program has
not been in actuarial balance,
even without any further in
crease in benefits, the taxes
paid by a worker and his em
ployer by 1969 will be 9 per
cent of the first $4,800 of
earnings per year or $432 per
year. As you pointed -out, it
has been suggested that the
maximum earnings base be
placed at $9,000 per year so
that the total tax paid on that
amount of earnings in 1969
would amount to $810.
The increased taxes each
year are so small that they
creep up gradually on us and
the average worker does not
realize what is happening to
him. I think it is high time
that we realize what is being
done and call a halt to any
further increases. Surely we
have not forgotten how to be
independent enough to do
things for ourselves and not
have to depend upon our gov
ernment to do everything for
us, when it has been proved
that they cannot do these
things in the most economical
manner.

Let Teachers Teach
To the Editor: The enclosed

up the educational system that

Editor's note: The clipping
follows:
Colleague Charley (Town
and Country) Camige has fired
a salvo at Twin City teachers
over the fact that milk is no
loneer distributed In local
schools.
Principals . and " teachers
think it would be too much
bother, Charley says, in urg
ing parents to put on the
pressure for classroom milk
breaks.
Charley Is obviously on
sound ground in boosting milk
as a necessity , for children.
But it strikes us that there's a
wider question involved.
It's simply this: Are our
schools to focus on teaching
the three Rs and sundry asso
ciated subjects, or are we go
ing to continue the trend that
is turning teachers into com
bined babysitters, nursemaids,
recreation directors, dieti
tians, drama coaches and what
not.
Surely somewhere along the
line parents are going to have
to accept some remnant of re
sponsibility for raising their
offspring. We just can't keep
foistintr it off on the schools
in one breath, and then be
moan the educational system
in the next.
Let's let the teachers stick
to teaching, and give the job
of child-raising back to we
parents. And that includes re
sponsibility for child diets-
milk and all.
It's about time we did some
thing to restore schools to
their their primary function,
because day by day education
is becoming more and more
vital.
What you don't know does
n't hurt you? Wo, it doesn't
not until you find out some
body else is getting paid for
knowing what you don't.-

SYMINGTON REPLIES
TO KENNEDY
On Sunday on "Meet the
Press" Senator Symington re
fused to accept the challenge
which Senator
Kennedy had
issued the
week before.
The challenge
was to meet
him in some
P r e s idential
p r i m a r i es.
This challenge
was based on
the new and
strange doctrine that no one
deserves to be taken seriously
by the nominating convention
who has not entered and won
a few primary elections. .
To this challenge Senator
Symington has replied, quite
rightly it seems . to - me, that
his own state, Missouri, does
not have a Presidential pri
mary, that in fact only about
one -third of all the states
have them, and that less than
10 per cent have primaries
in which the delegates are
bound to a particular candi
date.
. Thus if Senator Kennedy's
rule is to become the unwrit
ten law of politics, the con
vention is bound to nominate
not the choice of the delegates
but the winner in two or
three primary fights. This
amounts to saying that the
convention is not to be a
deliberative body. It is a de
mand that the convention sur
render its judgement and
abide by the outcome of
hand-shaking contests in a
few widely separated and ar
bitrarily selected states. .
rFHE Presidential primary
- was invented with good
intentions. It-was to limit the
power of the state bosses and
to give the voters a greater
say in the nomination of can
didates. But since 1905, when
the Presidential primary was
first used in Wisconsin, it
has been adopted only in a
few states and in various com
plicated forms. It has never
been adopted even by a bare
majority of the states. In the
states that do have primaries
only a minority of them pro
vide for binding instructions
on the delegates whom the
registered voters elect.-
As a result, according to
Edwin S. Corwin, there has
been no convention at which
the number of pledged dele
gates amounted to a majority
required to nominate a candi
date. Yet Senator Kennedy's
theory is that if Senator Hum
phrey and he are the only
candidates who enter the
Presidential primaries, no one
else, not Symington, not John
son, not Stevenson, not
Bowles, is entitled to serious
consideration 1

ite axioms and maxims for ap
pearance on the blackboard.
Some even bought shoes.
Richey had to axe many of
the axioms because they did
n't meet the minimum for a
maxim. For example, "Hate is
a prolonged form of suicide"
was rejected as unfit for shoe
store philosophy.
But he soon acquired so
many acceptable contribu
tions, such as "People will be
lieve anything if you whisper
it," that he was able to put
away the quotation book and
depend entirely on volunteers.
Even changing the black
board message every week, he
has enough entries to last for
two years.
No Particular Philosophy
Harry Van Pelt, store man
ager who helps Richey select
the philosophy of the week,
said they were not wedded to
any particular school of
thought. They just let their
fancy be their guide.
Possibly because of the
store's proximity to the U.S.
Party Faces
Even his opposition agrees
that so long as Nehru is
around, there can be no ef
fective opposition party.
And even though his reac
tion to the Red Chinese men
ace had been tardy, there was
a general belief that only he
could deal with it.
But 1959 had been a crit
ical year and this 65th party
convention since- the party's
founding in 1885 was one of
its most critical. Industrial
and agricultural de . elopment
had not kept pace with the
population. . ?

Lippmann
VIHY, we may ask, if the
' Presidential primary is all
that important and significant,
do so few states have serious
primaries to choose pledged
delegates? For a number of
reasons, no doubt, which have
to do with the interests of the
party machines. But a good
and sufficient public reason
is that the Presidential pri
mary is an extensive and ex
hausting ordeal which cheap
ens the quality of the discus
sion of national issues and
puts an excessive premium on
the arts of demagogy.
Senator Symington has done
the country a service by re
jecting the idea that the can
didate of the Democratic party
should be chosen in two or
three Presidential primaries
At the best, these scattered
and haphazard elections
should be regarded, if and
when the votes have been
thoroughly analyzed, as sam
pies of public opinion to as
sist the convention in making
its final judgement. They
should never, as Senator Ken
nedy proposes, be treated as
decisive.
For those who know poli
tics know only too well what
can be done in a primary by
money and organized block
voting:

Treasury, they lean toward
monetary themes - "Fun is
like life insurance, the older
you get, the, more it costs." "A
rich man is nothing but a poor
man with money."
Another favorite is the ma
trimonial maxim. "Why is it
that success comes much fast

most married?" "One good
thing about being married,
you can't make a fool of your
self without knowing it."
Van Pelt showed me a fold

one, "is one thing that cannot

There is one bit of philoso
phy, however, that I was un
