Respect
Democracy
BY Ruth Taylor

Father Wilfrid Parsons brought
out an interesting thought not
long ago which expresses a great
deal of what is wrong in our atti-
tude toward government. He said
that we r out to treat Leg
islation as a sports event, that a
bill may be carefully and thought
fully worked out and brought be-
fore Congress but when the vote
is taken the headlines read, "Such
and such a side won"
This is a strong indictment. rs
legislation to be a battle of wits.
or a genuine effort to bring to
pass a law for the government 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 be more dignified in
our concept of public life. We
must make it not a sports event
where the cleverest is the best,
but a career in which a man does
the best he can. We need to treat
with as much respect the oath Of
office as we do the physicians
oath.
Only Is we take seriously our
duties as citizens, prayerfully,
earnestly seeking out the best
men for the job, regardless OF
the party or the creed to which
they belong, then Identifying them
with respect and expecting them
due recognition Of the responsible
lily they owe. not to the voters
who elected them, but to all the
people Of the United States. only
as we act this way can we pro-
perly dignity the democratic pro-
cess.
Let us show what we really
by a government Of the
people, by the people. Let us stop
thinking of it as a race or a glori-
fled advertising competition and
treat U government as we would
have outsiders consider It. IF WE
don't respect the democratic pro
cess, we can't expect our world
to do 50.
The election is over. The major
ity has decided. Now let us ALL.
majority and minority alike. get
behind those whom we have cleo
ted and prove that we truly re-
5pect democracy.

Funds Urgently Needed
To Set aside Three Million Dollars
To Fight Dreaded Cancer Disease

1. What causes and controls
growth of the normal living cell?
2. Why does cell growth get
out of control to form cancer?
3. What are the fundamental
differences, chemically, physical
ly and biologically, between the
normal cell and the cancer cell?
4. What is the relation between
the many substances that can be
used experimentally to develop
cancer in animals. and similar sub
stances that may develop within
or enter the human body?
5. What is the relation between
the sex hormones and cancer?
7. What influence does diet
have on cancer? One substance,
for. instance. will cause cancer in
animals that have diet DEFICIENCIES
and will not cause cancer in 9TH
ers whose diet is not deficient.
8. Is there a virus factor in
human cancer? Such a factor has
been found in n among fowls
and has also been developed in re
search on mice.
8. What clues may be found
through study of the formation OF
cells of the blood, which itself is
subject to cancer in the form of
leukemia?
10 What are the hereditary
factors in cancer in plants, ami

them?
IL. Can we starve or otherwise
kill ca7cer cells in the human

IL. Can we find a way to treat
cancer internally by making "a

Life 1t
"A Glance

Well the Republicans walked
into a sweeping victory in every
| part of the country except the So
lid south. What with all the pub
1icity that has been given them,
the south should awaken; they
| may not be SO hot after all. May
be they should have crawled UP
on the elephant, and made the vic
tory complete. Already there is
much talk about cutting down
taxes. but hardly a day passes
but there is not something in the
papers about the increase of some
commodity. But what strikes me is
I haven't seen or heard a word
about any increase in wages.
Well, it should be well known by
this time that John Q Public was
aware of the reasons the Demo-
Gratis tossed the meat situation on
the lap Of the Republicans, and
they in turn, flooded the market,
with steaks and pork chops. But
what I don't think anybody has
thought about, is what they may
be paying for a rib or neck-bone
this time next year.
Look out for the lifting Of cell

next? The lifting of the controls
Of rents. In the not too distant
future, you may wake up on the
next morning and find the land
lord slapping a ten to fifteen per
cent raise on your rent. Yes sir,
that will be the day, and I mean
the sad day..
What Mister Politician does not
know now. and hasn't understood
in the past about his dear voters
is that they will change up on you
over night. You knight, they may
vote for you this time, and if they
feel they have been let down (al-
tho I don't say they are) they
will cast the most asparaging vote
against you. Beware Republicans
don't let the steaks and chops
stop flowing. The voters might
do it to you in 1948.
The late FDR seems to have
been about the only politician who
knew his voters. He called them
my friends and they liked it.
But what's nor he liked them and
