* 4 POLITICIANS ALL . , . , f The word “politician” is usually linked with graft, cm ruption and moral squalor. “Politicians are apt t« be as sociated with big city “machines' captained by gangsters and criminals. Yet. every citizen is a politician. The party “machine” comes into existence only bet arise the voter refuses to fulfill his obligations as a politician. T ic party “machine” ds built upon a definite number of votes, a definite number of followers to deliver that vote. The calibre of the “machine”__or you may call it organi zation_depends upon the number of votes in an election. I voters are few, the “machine” can be captured by the few. If the voters are many, the machine must have candidates and policies that meet the demands of the public—victory is al ways the aim of anv political organization. In 1950, only slightly more than half of those who were qualified, voted. . Reluctant politicians among us sometimes think they ?££ better off as Independents. In this way, many avoid what is called partisan politics. The answertothi^^Tcoursf, is; Onl)c by^working within a party can a citizen-politician have any weight in determining pol icy.and candidates. The Independ ent, sitting out the preliminaries, often finds himself faced at election time with candidates he cannot support. Politicians now are faced with critical political issues: Communism and corruption in government, the Korean stale mate; foreign policy; high taxation; deficit spending; Re publicanism as opposed to Socialism; and many others. The issues are political. We are all politicians. Let us be good ones. AGREEMENT OR DISAGREEMENT We believe-you will agree that the guy with whom you can always agree is a sort of human sleeping-pill . . . and we can assure you that your editor doesn’t expect you to agree with him more than 90 percent of the time. In fact, at this writing, we believe that every thoughtful —. person is having quite a time of it agreeing with himself! Is social progress properly a concern of Government? Probably. But where does enlightened Government stop and Paternal ism, or Socialiism begin? Should we spend for defense what we haven’t got? We have to, now. But who is to say we had, to get into such a mess? Are profits too high? What profits? Not ours! Taxes too high? Of course. But just when weren’t they? And so it goes. All any of us can da in this collossal game of Blind-Man’s Buff is stumble and grope . . . and try to call by their righfnames the things we clutch at. , IS THERE A PARALLEL For centuries the Roman Empire prospered. Its people enjoyed an extremely high standard of living. T hey were heirs to all the luxury and vast learning of the ages. Many things we know and use today, such as the calendar and architectual designs, were products of this civilization. Yet, this empire came to a catastrophic end. Why this came.about is something that each of us should pause and consider when we celebrate this month our own Independence Day. - _ - In Gibbon’s monumental work, “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,” the author lists five reasons for Rome’s fall. They were: __ _|iu_ *—. — i; Flie rapid increaseTh divorce; the undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which is the basis of human society, 2. Higher and higher taxes the spending of public mon •' ies for free bread and circuses. 3. The mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every yeai more exciting and more brutal. 4. The building of gigantic armaments when the real en emy was within; the decadence of the people. •. 5. The decay of religion; faith fading into a-'mere form losing touch with life and becoming impotent to guide th< people. > ■ Pick up a daily newspaper today. How many divorce stor ies can you find? Taxes, we know, are at an almost unbcliev able all-time high. Are our sports more exciting and bruta today? Do we find evidence of corruption and decadence it our public officials?
