RESIDUAUS n Cynic's lay By BILL JENKINS This business of turning the oth er cheek may be all right, but good old Uncle Sap has turned his so often he is beginning to look like a whirling dervish. I refer specifically to the recent and continuing uproar over the visit of Anastas Mikoyan, a nasty looking little man who currently holds the office of deputy Soviet premier to this country. President Eisenhower started the ball rolling by asking the Amen can people to bury the hatchet and forget all about any Soviet atrocities during the visit. A couple of days ago the little man hit California where he was promptly given the rotten egg treatment by the citizenry, thereby proving that at least a small seg ment of the US population has re tained a measure of independence and spirit. Out of this ruckus came an apol ogy on a nationwide scale made by California's newly elected gov ernor, Pat Brown. By the time the Soviet aide leaves this country he'll probably have American officials running around wringing their hands and crying like a teacher at a progres sive school. I cannot bring myself to believe that such a short memory speaks well for our country. Russia is the acknowledged ene my of not only Ihis country but of freedom wherever it is found Rus sia is the sole reason that this country is spending billions (of your money) for defense. Russia is still holding American men prisoner in slave camps. Rus sian satellites are still crushing the life out of anyone who dares raise a voice for freedom. And yet we, in this country, arc told by our leaders that we must show courtesy to the visiting big shots from that bloodstained re gime. Rubbish 1 What a shame it is for this coun try that Theodore Roosevelt came fifty years too soon. I'm getting tired of Ihis lace pants diplomacy. I'm gclting tired of seeing my country snivel and cringe and look desperately for an easy way out. And I'm getting tired of being bled white by confiscatory taxation made necessary through American efforts to buy peace and goodwill on earth. I seriously doubt il we would be any where near as close to war as we are now if we had taken a firm stand in 1045 and kept to il ever since. Nor would it have proven so cost ly in terms of money and worry. Let's have a little less of this arms-around-lhe-ncck business nd a little more standing on our own two feet and demanding our rights. Go home Mikoyan! Orson A. $iwiriiN By FLOYD L WYNNE A week ago, the first sludents entered the new Orson Stearns School at Crest and Lavernc. Until its dedication, it was known as Crest School because of its lo cation. But now. it's named for one of the true pioneer spirits of Klam ath County.' The Herald and News magazine section for May 25 carried an ex cellent history on Orson A. Stearns by Buena C. Stone. Little can be added to it, but for ihose who may have missed it, let's summarize the background of this man for whom the new school is named. It was 106 years ago that Orson Avery Stearns first saw the Klam ath country. He was 10 years old and travel ing in a wagon train with his fam ily. The Stearns circle included his three brothers and two sisters, his parents, and his 75-year-old grand father, John Stearns. They were six months out j their homeland of Winnebago County, Illinois. Pioneering was not new to the Stearns family. Orson's father Da vid was one of the earliest settlers of Winnebago County, castine his lot with the ancient tribe of Winno bago Indians in 1835. He had homcstcaded there, and for 18 years made it his home. One . day, the stirring news of the Ore gon territory lurid him west, and put the family on the trail to Ore gon. As the Steams wagon struggled through the edges of the Klamalh country, little did the young lad i realize that this wilderness would gome day be his home. The family settled in the area near Talent where civilization ha;i taken deep root in the Oregon ter ritory. In this area, Orson grew up watching Oregon officially become a atate in 1BT, when ho was 16 As the Civil War ended, Orson "bad turned 21, and enlisted in Com pany I of the First Oregon Volun teers, on November 17, 1864. All regular military forces were still in the East and Midwest en gaged in the final throes of the Civil War, and the volunteers were patrolling the frontier and provid ing protection for the settlers on the fringes of the Indian territory In May of 1865, orders were re ceived transferring the Company across the Cascades to the recent ly established post called Ft Klamath. So 12 years after passing through the Klamath country on his way to a new life in Oregon, young Stearns found himself back in the Klamath country, stationed at Ft Klamath. - During the next two years. Stearns, a sergeant, found plenty of activity to break the monotony of camp life. He helped build the new road across the mountains The old road was virtually impas sible, and the new route was con structed over the Cascades to Jacksonville and supplies were hauled in to the fort. He took part in several cam paigns against hostile Indians in the Snake country, and helped build Camp Alvord. ' Then there was always the task of wild hay to be cut for the horses and wood to be stacked for the long winter. His journeys also took him to Cralcr Lake. He was listed as one of the first persons to discover the lake, and to descend the sleep rim to the lake Itself. Orson termed it Lake Majestic, but it later be came Crater Lake, a name he didn't prefer. Then on July 19, 18H7, his com pany was mustered out of service. It was the last company of volun teers to be mustered out as the regulars returned and the Army took over the manning of Ft. Klamalh. Stearns, now a first sergeant. was mustered out at Jacksonville with the rest of his company. He and a buddy from his company, Lcwellyn Colvcr, had already agreed to head back for the Klam alh country as soon as they were discharged. (To be Continued Wednesday) Law Day By FLORENCE JENKINS The second annual observance of Law Day USA will be held on May 1, 1959, according to announcement by George L. Hihbard, president of the Oregon State Bar. The Oregon City attorney has named C. H. McGirr of Portland as chairman of a committee which includes the presidents of the local bar associations throughout t h e stale. "The purpose of the program is to emphasize the importance of law in our society and the poten tial of the observance of law 9s a means of establishing lasting peace," states the announcement of the observance. There are so many different ways of expressing fundamental law. History books relate thai greatest progress Is made during periods when people ere law-abiding which pretty generally coincid ed with some form of benevolent rule. Since the concept of the founding fathers of this country was to es tablish a government by the people, for the people and of the people. it should follow Uiat we could live under the most benevolent rule in all history. We have seen fit. however, to live under some of the silliest laws ever put on statute books and lo set rates of taxation1 which are nearly confiscatory. Fortunately the right of repeal remains. The greatest damage lies in the fos tering of disregard of the law and the tendency to look for legal loop holes to evade edicts laid down by the lawmakers. SHORT RIBS I The American system of juris prudence is based partly on old English common law, partly on statutes and partly on decisions by jurists down the years. Any program which can increase respect for the law should be able to reduce the amount spent for law enforcement. Every citizen has to pungle up his share of the money law enforcement costs. And law enforcement starts with the billions our government pays for defense. and runs through all phases down to city police action. Possibly the observance of Law Day in the United States can start a ripple which will extend farther than we hope. Possibly the violent "eye for an eye; tooth for a tooth theory can someday be replaced by a universal observance of the Golden Rule. IoIUI jiI Pro By JAMES HARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Liberals looked amateurish com pared with the professionalism of Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas who outmaneuvercd their efforts to make it much easier to smash a filibuster. To make a long story short When the showdown came they didn't have the votes. Johnson did. Knowing the thoroughness of Johnson, it seems safe to say he had his voles lined up beforehand and the liberals didn't. What happened would indicate one of two things about the fight they made: 1. Either they were overly opti mistic on the support they'd get from the rest of the Senate and didn't make a nose count, or 2. They knew their chance was slim but decided to go ahead and fight anyway for the sake of the record and to get at least some concessions. Under the old Senate Rule No. 22 a filibuster could be stopped only by a two-thirds vote of all the senators, or 66 of the 98 scna tors. A filibuster is a prolonged talking spree whose sole purpose is to prevent some bill or meas ure from coming to a vote. Such a two-thirds vote is tre mendously difficult to get in the Senate, where so many members traditionally cherish the right -which any one of them might want to use someday to block a dis tasteful measure. In addition, the rule provided no means at all not even that big two-thirds vote for stopping a filibuster against a motion to change the rule. The liberals set out to get the rule changed right at the start of Ihis session of Congress last Wednesday. They wanted it changed to let a simple majority 50 of the 9f members stop lilimister. But Johnson, leader of the ma jority Democrats, grabbed the floor right from the start. This was his right, as leader. And he beat the liberals to the punch by proposing that Rule No. 22 be changed this way: To let a filibuster be stopped not by the full two-thirds vole of 66 of the 98 senators or by 50 of the 98 but by a simple two thirds vote of just those senators present on the floor at voting time. This may seem lots easier to get. In actual practice, it prob ably wouldn't be, because on any thing so important as breaking a filibuster, most of the senators would be present anyway. But it was a concession to the liberals. Southern Democrats, who have used the filibuster to block civil rights legislation, didn't like the concessions. It was more than they wanted to yield. It was less than the liberals wanted. But Johnson, whose job is to try to keep all the Democratic sena tors working together during the By Frank O'Neal year on legislation he wants passed, is a .master at compro mise. What he proposed about the rule change was enough of a com promise to win the votes it needed ior adoption. From the time Johnson made his proposal, the liberals had al most impossible going. The rea son: Johnson had made a conces sion that wouldn't antagonize the Southerners too much and would satisfy those other senators who thought Rule No. 22 ought to be softened a bit but not too much The result: The liberals were voted down on one attempt after another to get the rules changed to their liking, thus paving the way for overwhelming adoption of Johnson's proposal. There's no doubt the liberals did a lot of homework: Research on the history of Rule No. 22 and the filibuster. But in the terribly important field of practical poli tics votes whatever they did wasn't enough.
