ill 8M IHM' 18 .; lr,,. la The- Day's ifavs By FRANK JENKINS Today' dose of politics: , Sautter Paul Douglas of Illinois (on of the abler middle-oMhe-road Democrats) brushes aside contemp tuously .today charges by the Re publican national committee that Democrats are misusing congress ional investigations to smear the Reawblican party. . ' Hat calls the complaint, "circus lntiaoade" which, he says, was letiaed long ago by Mark Twain jag-consisting of three drops of Ion; juice to a barrel of water. f statement, I'll go along with Sena tor Douglas. Tne amendment &b" old read something like this: :The Democrats' political cam paign charges against the COPs including the aemogogic lulmina lions of Minnesota's Senator Hum phrey in Klamath Falls the other day are just as ridiculous as 1b Republican compiauit that the Democrats are using committee Investigations to SMEAR the Re- f uWican party. Of course they are! When the Republicans were out and wanted ua, they used committee lnvcstiga. tiem to discredit the Democrats That's politics as practiced. '! ' , Why these tactics which are used by both sides? The answer is simple. The politicians are sure that at leaat 75 per cent of the voters are. morons, and plan their cam paigns accordingly. The Soviet Union is celebrating today the 38th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution of 1917 which is the communist FOURTH OF JULY. It was in the early days of November of 1917 that the peo ple of Russia, led by the Bolshevik party, arose in their might and . threw oft the yoke of tne czars The 1917 revolution in Russia had all the possibilities for human betterment of our Declaration of Independence and our enduing Rev olutionary War. It fizzled because the communists who engineered it bad no vision of the fundamental lights of man. Our Founding Fathers had a deep cense of the rights of man which they expressed in this pas sage of the preamble of the Declar ation of Independence: ; "We hold these truths to be sell-evident, that ALL men are created equal, that they are en dowed by their Creator with cer t-Oil unalienable rights, that among these are Life, - Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.' -' -'- " 1 "That to secure these TlgUti gov ernments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers liom the consent of the governed. ' r - Hie communists who led the 1917 . revolution had no such vision of human liberty. All they could think of was THROWING SOMEBODY ELSE OUT OF POWER AND GETTING INTO POWER THEM SELVES. , What tragedy that was! Siskiyou Man Gets Posts i WEED S. C. "Clint" Jackson. Edgewood.
