Through the United States Mails, as a Second Class Matter
Under the Act of March 3, 1879
Like a Monkey on a String
Our respect for administration leaders in Washing
ton goes up and down like a “Monkey on a String.” We
have disliked a great deal of domestic legislation which
has been forced through congress by President Johnson
in his “Great Society” program—namely, federal aid to
education, the civil rights act that eliminates the states
right to require a minimum of education to have a voice
in our government, the acquisition of more land and the
continual effort to run the farming industry from a
desk in the capitol.
A number of these, along with the proposal to elimi
nate the Right-to-Work laws, have been abhorrent to us.
Then when the president takes a firm stand to con
tain Communistic Russia and China, we gain new re
spect for him and his advisers. This is added to when
he decides to protect our American citizens in Santo
Domingo. But does his own party support him? No, the
Fullbrights and Morse’ attack him, saying he is in the
wrong and should “negotiate” with these ruffians who
have never been known to honor an agreement when it
was to their benefit not to do so. But the Republican
leaders are strongly supporting him—so four years from
now, if the program is successfully continued the Demos
can take the credit.
In his March 28 “Report to Oregon” our Oregon
senator says, “The United States has engaged in acts of
international outlawry’ and acts that shock the conscience
of much of the civilized world. If the American people
do not take their government in hand and demand a stop
to these activities, they may find the nations of the
world so up in arms against us that our self-assigned
mission to save Asia from Communism will encounter
increasing opposition not only from the Communists,
but from the very people we claim we are saving.”
In this two-page letter, not one criticism of the Reds
—most of it criticizing our use of the gas that made our
enemies sick, not killing them!
And our other Oregon senator, Mrs. Neuberger, car
ries on a heavy campaign against cigarettes, asking that
a warning be printed on each package and in ads stat
ing that they are injurious to health.
How many of us who use the “weed” have not known
this from the beginning of the habit? It seems that she
might have picked out alcoholic drinks to better advan
tage.
Have cigarettes ever caused many crimes to be com
mitted or been the cause of people being maimed and
wrecked in auto accidents? Or have they been the cause
of neglect of children and wives—or gambling away the
weekly paycheck? In the case of our two senators from
Oregon we have not had many reasons for a rise in
respect.

an administrative law enforce

community and its citizens.
In my many years as a law en

with being an impartial and non
partisan policeman. Over these
years I do not know of any time
that the arrest of any person gave
me any feeling other than sorrow
or grief.
