more persons at work, a
larger total of local organ
iZations.
This is the substance of
organization. 1t costs money
to accomplish this. It will
continue to demand financial
support. But especially in the
urban areas, the Republican
Party is nearer establishment
than at any previous time.
And If, in net result of States
carried, the 1860 campaign
was not as successful as be-
fore, it was overall a supe-
rior performance, and it was
made the hard way without
the glamour and magic Of
Mr.. Eisenhower.
Southern newspapers which
supported the Republicans,
with but few exceptions, did
so for what might be called
the wrong reasons. That is
to say. they were angry with
the Democrats over the civil
rights and labor planks. Or
they had a liking not for Mr..
Nixon, but for Senator Barry
Goldwater. Not a one of them
which came to my desk can
didly declared themselves to
believe in the G. o. P. plat
form or its principles. It was
a business of finding that
platform "less worse" than
the Democratic.
But all this is the stuff of
political progress. Perhaps,
having supported the Repub-
licans once, they will do so
again, more forthrightly. And
those persons who are in the
transition period, having cut
loose from the Democratic
mornings, may tie up perma-
nently at the G. o. P. dock.
The G. o. P. is some time
yet away from a genuine two
party system, but the founda-
lions are laid and construc-
ton is we'll along.

orally disreputable delega-
lions to represent their
States. He said further that
most of them had been openly
for sale to the highest bidder.
He was right.
So in evaluating G. o. P.
progress in the South, we
must begin with 1852. 1t also
is necessary to consider a fact
which blurs the picture. Poll
tical scientists already are
beginning to say that the
statistics of the Eisenhower
campaigns cannot be tossed
into the computers or human
calculations along with all
others before and since. They
were something special. AS
the 1860 election demon
strated, a substantial portion
OF the vote which went for
Eisenhower in his two cam
paignS swung back to the
Democrats. The G. o. P. vote
in the Eisenhower years must
be considered separately.
1t is this fact which makes
the G. o. P. Dixie results in
1860 the more remarkable.
Without the magic of Eisen-
hover, the States of Florida,
Virginia and Tennessee again
were carried. The party in
creased organizational and
voting strength in Georgia,
Alabama and South Carolina,

oping world, we have been

truly responsible leadership.
both on the part Of manage
ment and of labor. Among
the evident instances of the
breakdown Of personal re-
sponsibility most deplorable
has been the widespread
cynical reaction to the recent
revelation Of dishonesty,
waste and malfeasance in
industrial relations"
OF significance, too. is what
the bishops say about the
pressures that ARE growing
for a constantly greater re-
lance on the COLLECTIVELY
rather than on the individ-
ual." Their statement con-
tinues:
IAN inordinate demand for
benefits, most easily secured
by the pressureS of organiza-
ton. has led an ever-growing
number of our people to re-
linquish their rights and to
abdicate their responsibilities.
This concession creates q
widening spiral of increasing
demands and pressures with
a further infringement on
personal freedom and re-
sponSibility.
Intensive Specialization can
achieve mass benefits, but
man and morality can be Sc
riously hurt in the process"
A great deal may be read
into that particular para
graph in the light of recent
pressureS to have the Govern
ment furnish financial aid
from the cradle to the
grave" not only in this
country. but in Great Brit
ain and in other countries of
the world.
Pertinent. too. is the appli-
cation by the bishops of the
phase personal responsible
ity" to the conduct Of inter-
national affairs. The state
ment says:
This tendency to delegate
excessive responsibility to
an organization is discernible
also in the realm of interna-
tional affairs. Some manifest
no sense of personal RESPONSE
bility in the affairs of the in
ternational community. On
the other hand, many citizens
seem to feel that our mere
adherence to the United Ma
tons absolves us from further
responsibility in the inter-

Despite Disappointment, Performance
In Election Is Held Advance Over 1856

Disbursement sits raven
like above the door of South
ern Republicans these days,
and some Of them seem to
hear the words "Nevermore,
nevermore." This is because
they are tired and dis
appointed.
Despite the bitter disap-
pointment which followed
the collapse Of high hopes,
the facts are that Repub-
lican efforts to establish a
competitive situation in the
South were quite successful.
That those who had labored
so, hard had set carrying
several States as their goal
should not be allowed to con-
ceal the advances made. 1t
was never possible to have
the Dixie wing of the G. o. P.
spring full-born from the
forehead of some fortuitous
zeus. The unhappy fact is
that until the coming of
Dwight D. Eisenhower, the
Republican party in the
South was, with painfully
few exceptions, made up of
some second-rate hacks who
had not the slightest interest
in establishing a genuine
competition.
The state of the party in
the South can best be illu-
strated by a conversation held
with Alfred Landon in early
1887. He had been shocked
by his meeting with the
Southern delegations at the
1886 G. o. P. convention. He
said, and allowed quotation,
that Republican State COM

When the Catholic bishops
Of the United States meet in
Washington every year, they
usually have something to
say which is of interest not
only to their co-religionists
but to others as well. The
meeting which has Just been
concluded has resulted in a
statement of significance to
all Americans and to peoples
everywhere.
For the bishops have placed
an emphasis on the personal
responsibility of free men"
which. while not spelled out
in detail, has an implicit
meaning of transcendent i'm
portance today.

where there is a tendency to
rely on organizations and
economic pressure groups to
obtain special favors and
benefits.
There is not a word Of
politics in the bishops state
ment, but the text of it, when
read carefully, has an in
direct bearing on many sub
jectS in the realm of educa-
ton, labor and management,
as well as of government.
IF our future is to be
worthy of our past" says the
statement, IF the fruit of
Americas promise is not to
wither before it has reached
full maturity, our present
pre-eminent need is to re-
affirm the sense Of individual
obligation. to place clearly
before ourselves the founda-
ton on which personal re-
sponsibility rests, to deter
mine the causes of its decay
and to seek the means by
which it can be revived"
While the bishops speak Of
the decline of personal
responsibility. in the family
and the failure Of parents
to fulfill their responsibilities
in<the home, stress is placed
on the evidence of decline
in the sense Of responsibility
within our industrial organi-
cation and in our general
economic life" The declara-
ton says:

She is in the sixth grade and
her favorite subjects are relig-

her mother farming their small

This is necessary because her
father is unable to work due to
wounds received during the

the mother and children cul-

to earn around four dollars a
month doing odd jobs.

Under the fine plan, the CAL

Shaw Selected
For Science
Library Plan

Shaw High has been selected
to participate in the Travelling
High School Science Library
program, this school year. This
experimental program is ad-
ministered by the American AS
sociation for the Advancement
of Science at the request of the
National Science Foundation
and financed by an appropria-
ton from the United States
Congress.
The purposes and detectives
of this program are: to give
the school librarians a years
experience with the most recent
science collection; to develop
the interest of high school stu
dents in reading such books; to
stimulate the choice of career
in science by scientifically apt
students; and to afford science
and mathematics teachers an
opportunity for up-to-date read
ing.
There are many kinds of
books in the library: biograph-
les, anthologies, histories of
science, general works, books
on scientific subjects, and a few
textbooks. These books are
mostly on the adult reading
level and were selected for the
academically talented senior
high schol students, those who
represent tomorrow's scientific
potential. None were selected
for the poor or retarded stu
dents.
The library is now ready to
circulate for this first period,
80 books that cover various
scientific fields. The books will
be charged out for no more
than seven days.
A science library browsing
corner has been set up in the
lounge area with hopes that
each faculty member will sup
port this program with sincere
enthusiasm and encourage the
students to come in and browse
around. Descriptive annotated
booklets listing the 200 books in
the collection are available in
the library and through Mr..
Baker, Science Co-ordinator.
