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.

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.
Mail Call
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (AP) - Things a
columnist might never know if he
didn't open his mail:
Safety belts in automobiles could
save at least 19.000 lives in the
country each year and reduce in
juries by 50 per cent, a Cornell
University research group esti
mates. Motor cars now kill someone
every 14 minutes . . . and injure
someone every 23 seconds.
Love this sign on the fence of
a, Texas yard bordering a golf
green: "I'm a golfer, too, and I
understand. But we are raising
three little children behind this
fence. Please try to refrain from
enriching their vocabularies "
The brief leaf: Scientists figure
that each year leaves trap and
store from the sun energy equal
to that released by burning 300
million tons of coal.
The Romans really believed in
a clean army . . . their troops
built portable baths and carried
them along on battle campaigns.
Most Americans seem to have
lost the art of walking ... but
U.S. factories still turn out up to
5,000 pairs of shoes a minute.
Poor posture is now becoming
common among American chil
dren as young as 4 years old . . .
some authorities blame it on lack
of enough protein in the diet ...
Incidentally, studies now show
that farm diets are better in most
nutrients than those of city people.
How many Christmas cards did
you get? . . . The average family
now sends out 65 cards, the aver
age business firm about 145
the three-billion Christmas cards
mailed this year weighed about
100,000 tons . . . which explains
why many mailmen prefer the
Fourth of July.
Don't feel bad if you can't fig
ure out why moths always fly to
the light . . . scientists have many
theories, but proof fs difficult.
Here's some good advice from
international attorney Arthur W.
A. Cowan: "Don't ever worry
about getting even with a man if
you have to stoop to his level to
do so."
Denise Lor, the singer, nas an
unusual iodiosyncrasy . . , before
singing, she "warms up" by hold
ing an ice cube in her mouth for
five minutes ... her explanation:
"I read somewhere it's good for
the throat."
Julia Meade, perhaps televi
sion's leading "pitch lady,'1 earns
about $150,000 doing commercials
She has 75 cocktail dresses in
her wardrobe.
How many juvenile delinquents
do we have? , . .Roughly 500,000
children aged 10 through 17 ap
pear in court each year . . . that's
about 2.2 per cent of the U.S. chil
drenor roughly one out of every
45.
In the pre-Civil War era 75 per
cent of Southerners owned no
slaves at all.
Only 25 per cent of the U.S.
land area is suited to growing
crops.
Among the delicacies that Mar
co Polo, the 13th century globe
trotter, found in China were spa
ghetti and ice cream ... but posi
tively no chop suey.
How often do you bathe your
dog? ... the American Humane
Assn. says that three or four, times
a year is plenty ... if the animal
is brushed and combed regularly.
It was Albert Einstein who ob
served. "The man who regards
his own life and that of his fellow
creatures as meaningless is not
merely unhappy but hardly fit for
life."
