Rededicoted Holiday

In recent years there has been
tendency to regard the Fourth Of July
as a day primarily for fun, picnicking
and sports, with only incidental atten-
ton to its original patriotic purpose Of
celebrating the birth of American inde-
pendence. The Theodore Roosevelt Gen.
tennial Commission has done the Nation
q worthwhile service, therefore, in call
ing for a Nationwide rededication to
the ideals of freedom which led our
forebears to fight VIGOROUSLY for
national ndependence-ideals which
Theodore Roosevelt so vigorously pro-
NOTED as leader Of the people.
President Eisenhower undoubtedly
had in mind the modern trend away
from the traditional concept of the
holiday when, in commencing the COM
MISSIONS plan for "rededication to the
obligations of citizenship he urged
restoration of "the original purpose of
our great national holiday as day of
heroic memory and challenge" The
President pointed out that such a
strengthening of the responsibilities of
citizenship is vitality needed Gin dealing
with the critical problems of our times"
The centennial commission has dis
avowed any intention of attempting to
appropriate" independence Day for
Theodore Roosevelt. What it hopes for,
during this part Of the centennial Of
T. RS birth, is to inspire Americans to
give more thought to the meaning and
Importance of national and individual
liberty. BY so doing, the commission
believes, the average citizen is more apt
to renew his faith in freedom, accept
the responsibilities of freedom and give
his heart to America-his symbol Of
freedom"
This sounds like old-faShioned pa
triotiSm, some may say. But patriotism,
love Of country and its traditions, is not
something to be outdated or derided.
All of us should commend the efforts of
the commission to restore the word pa
triotism to wider favor and to make
the Fourth of July, 1858, day "of
acceptance of the citizens duty to build
up the strength of the Nation by build
ing up, within himself, those qualities
that Theodore Roosevelt summed up
as character-courage, honesty, de-
cency, resolution. the willingness to
work effectively for the public good"

Speaking of Influence

Representative Oren Harris of Ar
kansas, chairman of the subcommittee
which has been investigating influence
peddling" in Federal regulatory agen-
cies, has every right to be bit red in
the face these days. For Mr.. Harris,
in an old-fashioned manner of speak
ing, has been hoisted by his own petard.
We do not mean to suggest that
Mr.. Harris has done anything wrong"
All he did was write a letter to Chair
man Doerfer of the Federal Communi-
cations Commission. This letter called
Mr.. Doerfer'S attention to an earlier
letter from a man down in Arkansas
who was opposing construction permit
for new radio station in Pine Bluff.
Mr. Harris wrote that there were a
number of interesting items in con-
nection with the case, and asked Mr..
Doerfer to send him copy of his an
swer to the letter from the Arkansas
man.
Did this influence" Mr.. Doerfer,
and, II so, was it improper influence?
We do not know the answer to that.
q 1t is an interesting circumstance, how
ever, that the Harris letter, dated May
6, 1858, was mailed just a few weeks
after the Harris subcommittee had
forced FEC Commissioner Richard Mack
to resign because he allegedly had per-
mitted himself to be subjected to i'm
proper influences. Mr.. Doerfer may be
pardoned if he is wondering just where
this influence business begins and
where IL ends

time by the familiar chant of

Organ Dispute

I cannot disagree entirely
with the comments made by
Edwin D. johnson and Grey
Leslie, but from an overall
point Of view / think that
your Mr.. Thorpe had the
facts on his side in the
church-organ debate.
I once heard an old Roman
organ, built for a fire house
not for a church. played over
the radio and it certainly
was not a very ecclesias-
tical sounding instrument; it
sounded more like a flute.
When an organ originally
appeared in a housG OF wor-
ship it was there for a very
practical purpose. 1t was
something Of a job to make
out from the choir books
which note was which; 1t
was a help to have somebody
who knew the music punch
out the notes. The organ
was originally something Of
the nature of a pitch pipe.
Gothic cathedrals were built
for services in which the
sole music was the Gregorian
chant. Gregorian chant and
organ music do not go to-
gether.
The idea of having divided
choirs and elaborate organs
was hardly ever heard of be-
fore the end Of the last CEN
tury. The general acceptance
Of congregational hymn sing
ing both in Catholic and in
Protestant churches led to
the adoption of small cabinet
pipe organs, melodions, har-
moniums, ETC., at an earlier
time.

Strife on Cyprus

The centuries-old British
policy Of divide and rule is
ready to pay of once again
in Cyprus. In spite Of the APP
plause that the British new
plan for Cyprus" Is receiving
from the American press and
other sources, to those who
know the British best 1t is
nothing more than another
treacherouS and hypocritical
effort to win support for their
position and at the same time
perpetuate their colonial rule
on Cyprus.
After creating a monster
out Of a relatively simple
problem of self-determina-
ton, the sly foxes of London
are now assuming the role of
a referee between the Greeks
and the Turks, and are call
ing upon the world through
their powerful propaganda
machine to approve of their
sincere" efforts to solve the
Cyprus problem.
The Sincerest word ever
heard from a British mouth
about Cyprus was Henry
Hopkinson's statement in
1854 that. Cyprus could
never expect to be fully in
dependent"
Both the Turks and the
British are forgetting one
very important thing: That
the island is inhabited by
$4,000 Greeks to the $4,000
Turks and that those 49,
900 Greeks own 81 per cent
of the land, and that the
United Nations has already
rendered q decision on that
matter in favor Of the self
determination Of the Cypri-
OTIS.

so Years Ago

Washington dedicated its
city Office building so years
ago. Reporting the event on
July 4. 1908. The Star said:
"A new American flag Of
shimmering silk crept to the
top Of the tall staff on the
new Municipal building at 10
O'Clock this morning and fiut-
tered there, with halyards
dashed. whipping lazily in the
intermittent southwest wind.
So began the formal pro-
gram Of exercises at the OPEN
ing Of the new District build
ing today. q program that
win not end until late to-
night, when the last bit Of
the Monument lot pyrotech-
mics has burned itself out and
the red fare illumination Of
Pennsylvania avenue has died
down. -"

often the maligned one, not
being present. is denied the
opportunity to refute false
or unfair impressions which
idle gossip creates. DR.. Alex
ander Whyte. the famous
Scottish preacher, often used
to say and write reprovingly:
Who In my presence ISLANDERS
absent men,
Can neueT at my table cit
again.
In q modern novel, this Is
the best that could be said
about one whose portrait is
there drawn: HE could whis-
per away q character by an
innocent interrogation. He
could destroy q high reputa-
ton by a shrug Of the shoul-
ders. He could assassinate q
soul by silence. when silence
became the strongest instru-
ment." And let us remember
that every one Of us must
answer not Just for words
said, but for words unsaid.
There are times when silence
is golden. There are times
when 1t is craven.
But our words not only
affect others. they also adj
vertise things about our
selves-about our knowledge
or our ignorance, our culture
or our crudeness, our kindness
or our. cruelty, our fairness
or our bias. Every psycholo-
gist knows that bitter, dis
illusioned TRADES regarding
everything and everybody
are mostly self-revelation.
How true is DR.. Harry EN-
erson FoSdick's comment:
The bully thinks the world
is full of DULLES; the bad
tempered man always dis
covers bad temper in others;
the liar says all men are
liars" And another great
prophet of our generation,
after long years Of close OBJ
servation of human behavior,
gives as his deliberate judg-
ment: mo man is better
than his gossip. He may
preach like an archangel. He
may work like a Trojan. He
may give like a prince. But
1t is by his gossip that he
must be judged. 1t is in his
conversation with cronies
that a man stands revealed"
1t Is In such intimate con-
versation that you have the
measure of the man.
The supreme satisfaction
is not that evil words laden
with contagious germs of de-
struction are stopped at the
lips by a bridled tongue, but
rather in the words that are
uttered which keep men on
their feet and put cheer and
courage into their very souls.
James Whitcomb Riley has
some lines entitled, Let
Something Good Be Said"
He is thinking not just of the
bridled tongue, but Of the
unbridled tongue. Listen to
the Hoosier poet:
