The Ends of Government
What are the uses, the functions, the ends,
the proper aims of government?
The question is an eternal one, and has been
debated since man forst joined family to fam
ily and the need arose for an ordered society.
The form of government alters to fit differ
ing situations and differing needs. It has varied
from the most absolute and tyrannical monar
chies and dictatorships to permissive near-anarchy.
.
Today, at least in what we know as western
civilization, the debate increasingly centers on
how far government should go in controlling the
actions of its citizens; how to achieve liberty
with order; law with freedom; individual rights
with the common good.
e
"NE of the most commonly heard comments,
usually attributed to Thomas Jefferson but
in standard reference works assigned to Emer

Carried to its logical conclusion this would
mean that the best government is no government

imply that government of
So the valid question is, what are its proper ends?

It la this: That as you leave this school you are entering
- a world of labor, of business, the professions, civil serv
ice, the sciences, or even more education, all of which

increasing degree.
"This is so regradless of which political party must
be dominating the city council or the Congress of the
' United States, and no matter who is in control in Mos
cow, Brasilia or New Delhi.
"As the population of this earth increases and its nat
ural resources are consumed; as new nations of people
become educated and sophisticated and demand their
places in the sun and in trade and in political equality;
as science and technology continue to give us a greater
life span - then the peoples of this nation and this earth
are going to need more and more help from their re

In productive and enlightened harmony."

Someone Explain
To the Editor: I've just
heard a very interesting story
from a friend who is afraid
for her own children. Seems
a child on her street was run
over by some teen-agers in a
car. The teen-agers left the
scene of the accident betore
the police came to investigate.
When the police finally did
come they were not very help
ful.
What I'd like to know is
why these kids in cars are al
lowed to squirrel around in
the residential area where
very small children are. This
particular child was also on
her own property when hit.
Now would someone kindly
explain this situation so I
wouldn't be so mad?

Prophecy Fulfilled
To the Editor: Having con
sidered a few of the changes
to occur in the body and elec
tronic structure of man as he
journeys through the Aquar
ian magnetic field, let us turn
our attention to other Interest
ing changes to take place.
Notable advances will be
made In religious philosophy
and science, and these two
will become a great deal more
compatible than they have
been heretofore. Art, litera
ture, music, architecture, In
dustry, farming, rural and
city life, education and the
methods of learning, modes of
transportation and communication-all
will undergo vast
changes as will every field of
man's endeavor, due to the
higher vibrational frequency
of the New Ago of Enlighten
ment. I will not go into these at
length, but you will be pleased
to know that free energy from
the ethers will replace present
day fuels, and air pollution
will be a condition of the past.
Had certain "big business
boys" not seen fit to blow up
the laboratory of Nikola Tesla
several years ago, this advant
age would already have been
ours to enjoy.
By the use of certain elec
tronic rays, foods will be
grown under snow and on the
desert, then ripened and pre
served without the aid of re.
frigoration as it is now
known. Crops will even be
raised and harvested in the
sea. Certainly hunger, too,
shall be relegated to the past.
At this time the Golden
Age docs not appear to be too
"golden." There is always
great turmoil when our Earth
leaves one magnetic field to
enter another of a different
vibratory rate; the "rains'" of
all the inter-relatcd cosmic
powers constituting the field
fall on all alike, so all of Earth
and Its Inhabitants are exper
iencing the quickening influ
ence of the Aquarian frequen
cy. This could be confusing
enough to many of us, but
being still on the cusp of the
Piscean Age, we are exper
iencing the slower frequency
of that field of expression as
well.
We are going through a
house-cleaning stage: evil, as
sisted by nature, must destroy
itself, the destructive, non
progressive elements are be
ing swept away to more suit

well they planted ' groves
and hedges
To give shade in the heat
of day.
Along the fence and pasture
edge
The Honey-Locust tree held
sway.
They withstood the
blistering heat
And the winters freezing
cold,
Their pea like blossoms
were so sweet,
But their thorns grew long
and bold.
Hedge-row or windbreak,
which ever you please
It has sheltered many a
beast and man,
In its shade they can relax
with ease
Their branches seem to act
as a fan
Raised rapidly did the
black clouds.
Quietly, Miss Lightning
sends her message.
But, Thunder roars his
aloud.
Then Rain and Hail
becomes outraged.
Blizzards howl, as only a
blizzard can,
But the trees stood tall and
as one,
To shelter a lost horse or
a man,
From the cold or the heat
of the sun.
You can see as far as the
eye can look
Rolling hills and shallow
stream,
A campfire with a cowboy
as a cook
Enjoying this country, so it
seems.
Have you viewed her fields
of golden grain
Where heads of grain and
sun had met,
And fields of waving wheat
of sugar cane?
It's a memory you cannot
forget.

Loss of Sam Rayburn and LB.
By LYLE C. WILSON

It is President Kennedy's
bad luck that Sam Rayburn
died and that it was deemed
necessary to
p u t Lyndon
B. Johnson on
the 1960 Dem
ocratic presi
dential ticket
to hold the
Deep South.
" M r. Sam'
and Johnson
were congres
sional leaders
who knew how to lead. That
cannot be said of the leader
ship of the 88th Congress. The
Democratic party enjoys ma
jorities in the House and Sen
ate, Democrat chair tne com
mittees, occupy the seats of
power. The President in the
White House is a Democrat.
With all of that going for
the New Frontier, the Ken
nedy administration is unable
to move its legislative pro
gram. The U. S. Congress does
not function much beyond tne
routine of convene-recess-con-
the writer, although under
tides of Faith. However, if
the Governor had acknowl
edged their sources instead of
letting it appear they were
his own ideas it would have
been more becoming him. But,
unfortunately, modesty does
not appear to be one of the
Governor's outstanding vir
tues. When a man's conscience
begins to stir, two roads are
open to him. He may repent
and confess his sins, or he
may take the human way and
say, "Look at Tom Jones, he
is a worse sinner than I am."
It is obvious that Mr. Nel
son Rockefeller senses the
fact that he has lost some
status. He cannot confess and
make restitution. And so, he
points his finger at Conserva
tives and cries, "Extremists,
lunatic fringe, etc.," and
hopes some of the tar will
land on Senator Goldwater.
That was the same kind of
smear Kennedy urged Pat
Brown to fling at Nixon. And
Dick, as politicians some
times do, opened his mouth
and stuck both feet in. Wheth-
Goldwater will do likewise
remains to be seen. But Amer
icans would better wake up.
Regardless of labels, demand
that we must have govern
ment that is sane, sensible
and sober. Otherwise Com
munism will not bury us. We
will do it ourselves as other
nations have done it, via
loose liquor, loose living and
loose lucre. Those are the L's
of destruction. Wouldn't that
be an 'Ell of a destiny for
America?

Hard Nut
To the Editor: According to
a report from Washington,
the railroads declared them
selves willing to carry on as
is for another month in order
to give the President and
Congress time to work out a
settlement. This the RR man
agement is willing to do re
gardless of the fact that they
lose $30,000 in that time.
(Their statement).
If such be the case it should
be worth while for Congress
to tike over and nationalize
the rail roads. In doing to
taxes could be reduced for
people who need relief and
everybody would be happy.
But when the question of na
Uonal takeover of railroads
comes up. there Is always a
howl against it, the antis say
ing It won't do to have gov
ernment in business. So that
is another hard nut to crack.

NO SOLUTIONS
There are some problems
that have no solutions. Being

ning argument over the sub

the children if hostile parents
stay together, or if they sepa

answer to this question.
Those who oppose breaking
up marriages can point to a
wealth of evidence indicating
well maintained. However,
they are of interior frame
construction with brick ve.
neer and do not meet safety
standards for hospital care.
Our experience has been that
it is economically unfeasible
to alter such buildings to pro
vide modern hospital care.
The small medical and sur
gical service which has been
established at Roseburg pri
marily serves the needs of
the psychiatric patients, but
may also be utilized for emer
gency admissions from the
surrounding areas. The cost
of establishing1 and operating
such a unit in a 654-bed hos
pital complex is far less than
the establishment and opera
tion of a complete hospital.
We recognize that addition
al facilities would be needed
in many areas if all eligible
applicants for hospitalization
were to be provided care.
However, the statutes provide
for hospital care for non-serv
ice connected veterans only
within the limits of Veterans
Administration facilities. In
1959 the President established
a ceiling of 125.000 beds
as the limit of Veterans Ad

planning for hospital beds
must, therefore, be based on
the most equitable distribu

"The GAO portrayal of

The charge stemmed from

Republicans should be the
last to forget that a lost and
hopeless cause produced a
political miracle in 1948 when
Harry S. Truman directed his
presidential campaign exclu

so far, HST might want to

This session probably will

Kennedy made an effective

President Eisenhower had
failed to provide the nation

attention now to the situation
in Congress where the Demo

J. Harris
that the children of broken
homes are often in trouble,
psychically, socially and aca
demically. There is no doubt
that a child with only one
parent is severely handicap
ped in growing up.
e
Those who take the oppo
site view point out that it
is healthier for a child to
grow up with one parent
than in a bitter and wran
gling atmosphere, in which
the child often becomes an
emotional pawn between
the parents and suffers life
long scars.
Neither side can ever
convince the other, be
cause there is no solution
for a bad marriage: staying
together is terrible for lha
children, and so is break
ing up. There is only a
choice of evils.
Every well, says the opti
mist, but there must be a
lesser evil: we can surely
make some rational esti
mate of what is less bad for
the children. And that wa
will choose.
The doctrine of the "less
er evil" is one that has be
guiled mankind since lha
beginning of time, and its
pursuit has always proved
a will-o'-the-wisp. Lesser
evils have a way of turning
out to be as bad as the
greater evil, if not worse.
Where human beings are
concerned, there is no cal
culus of probabilities for
the future.
The fact is that mistakes
must be paid for, and when
children are involved, they
are paid for by the children.
This is what the Book means
when it says, "The parents
eat sour grapes, and the chil
dren's teeth are sot on edge.'
In a bad marriage, whatever

We are realistic enough or
grown-up enough to under

terms of "problems" and "so

simply a predicament with

Man has been defined as
"the problem - solving ani

animal, with a
capacity for devising prob

of many of our activities, we
will think we are finding

pot at Miami Beach like Bry
an hit it at Chicago 67 years
ago, he'd have it made.
It's little wonder they're all
giving their best.
The prize at stake is a big
one.
POLITICS these days is full
of problems.
They have one down at Fres
no, where the Western Sun
bathing Association is holding
its annual convention at tha
Calyptus Grove nudist camp
near Fresno.
rpHEY'RE looking for a
speaker.
But the prospects are all
shy.
The Mayor of Fresno - who,
the reporters say, seldom
turns down an opportunity to
make a speech - begs off. "I'm
no prude," he says, "but I
honestly don't think I could
do it justice."
Everybody else seems to
feel the same way about it.
rTHE chairman of the con-
vention, a Mr. Howard
Lane, says: "We have run into
this kind of problem before.
Civic leaders are just too sen
sitive." He adds:
"I've thought of asking tha
Fresno convention bureau for
help, but I suppose that's out
loo. One of our agency's prin
cipal functions during a con
vention is to have pretty
young women fill out nama
cards and PIN THEM ON
DELEGATES. That, you
know, can be a painful pro
cedure." PROBLEMS.
Problems everywhere.
It's a weird world we'r
living in.
