BY KI TH TAYLOIl Father Wilfrid Par.-mis nought out an interesting thought recent ly which expresses a great deal of what is wrong in our attitude toward government. He soul that we are too apt to treat legislation as a sports event, that a bill may be carefully and thoughtfully worked out and brought be ore Congress, but when the v te i's taken, the headlines read, "Such and such a side won." This is a strong indictment. 1 legislation to be a battle of wits - or a genuine effort to bring t" pass a law for the betterment of all the people? Must there be a winner and a loser in government? Or is this a government of the people, by the people and for the people ? We must he more dignified in r-*-r our concept of public lit*'. "0 must make it not a spot' an: where the clevete-l is the 1 e t. hut a career in which a man doc the best he can. We need ■■ neat : witlt as much respect the outh o.J office as we do the pin -', t m oath. Have you heard the with which foreigners greet man. of our "democratic vitrioi ‘!t-( tacks upon those in authoi ' It j starts with surprise hut t ten d ■ turns into a sort of dcrisio a .a- - j ing. "Is this democracy?" I you would understand why th< this way. read the legislative news , in your morning paper, criticuHs. not with amused tolerance. , Only as we take seriously out duties as citizens, prayerfully earnestly seeking out the m-t men for the job, regardless .d the party or the creed to wliich ni-y belong, then digniying them with respect and expecting of 'hem dm recognition of the responsibility they owe - not to the voteis win elected them, but to all the peo ple of the 1’nited Slat' - only a< we act this way cun \v * prop-. fily dignity the iit*nicri :u.>• i»i» its*. Let us show wliat we really mean by a government of tlie people, by the people, for the peo ple. Let us stop thinking of it as a rare or a glorified advertising competition and treat our govern-, meat as we would have outsiders consider it. If we don't tespect' the democratic process, we can'i expect our world neighbors t do so. 1 I FEEL PEPPV!
