The People's Voice This column la for the use of our readers who wish to make suggestions for the general good or discuss qneations of Interest. No articlea will be I published without signature of | the author. o- - i— i , .... — -■ o TO THE EDITOR: Republican Comment This comment is directed to the one responsible for the editorial ’skit’ on Vice President Richard Nixon published in the Democrat August 12, 1958. When, in the name of Democracy, are small town papers going to refrain from indulging in ‘stinko’ campaign methods? Having lived a long time—let me say back when the ignorant Republican Protestants thought the Pope governed the price of eggs for the benefit of Catholics at Easter time—politicians and partisan papers thought this was the real deluxe method of handling politics and campaign methods for their side. In Heaven’s name—this is 1958— where is there any progress in keeping this out-moded campaign method? a small town—there is one newspaper. Tbat newspaper wants everyone as a subscriber — everyone to advertise — everyone to patronize—regardless of politics. How would it be for editorials to be confined to the real issue of political questions, and stay away from personalities? I know I am speaking for many Democrats as well as Republicans. Now is the time for any and all small town newspapers to get down to earth and remember“We Are AU Americans," and do not relish their inteUigence being insulted constantly in partisan editorial fashion. This is Decatur, not New York or Chicago. Fan Hammell Dear Miss Hammell: We thank you for your kind Republican comment on the editorial policy of the Decatur Daily Democrat. Your comment is directed to the president of the corporation, who is solely responsible for the editorials. I cannot speak for other small town newspapers, but this one will be happy to refrain from indulging in ‘stinko’ campaign methods whenever the two news associations and predominantly Republican big-city press allows them to. In the name of Democracy, we would certainly be very happy to end such tirades. But you must remember that»6o% of the newspaper circulation in Indiana alone is Republican, and nearly every radio station is also Republican. Citizens are bombarded with cleverly phrased Republican propaganda 24 hours a day. I regret very much that you lived in such a day when Republican Protestants believed such things. I feel very strongly that you erred in becoming a Republi- ] can then, since the Democratic party never felt so. If you will kindly recall the campaign of 1854. the Whigs, No-Nothings (a violentI ly anti-Catholic, anti-German, anti-foreign-born party) and the abolitionists put up a fusion ticket in Indiana. In the 1856 campaign this was called the Republican party, and has persisted to this day. My authority for saying this is not my faulty memory on the question, but vol. II of Dr. Logan Esarey’s very scholarly history of Indiana, available at the public library. Progress in a small town follows that in the large cities. New York and Chicago paved their streets. Then Decatur paved theirs. New York arid Chicago got electric lights, telephones, indoor toilets. Then Decatur got them. Decatur’s press will certainly be more than happy to follow the lead of the big city press, whenever they stop attacking personalities and begin again to discuss issues. Unfortunately, this has not been done. We vote for personalities, not issues. Some even vote for parties regardless of how they feel on personalities or issues. And some forget that the personality voted for, not the issue, will be running the government. The president, for example, is a figure-head, but his appointments number more than 6 million. It is important that he is interested in the right principles and is a man of principle. Therefor, personalities are important. Yes, Miss Hammell, like every newspaper or businessman, we sell our services to everyone, regardless of their politics. We encourage others to buy and read the Decatur Daily Democrat. We feel that two sides of every issue, whether of personality or of a party plank, should be known and understood. We feel that it would be a tremendous disservice to Republicans and Democrats alike for them not to have this available. We feel that there are already many newspapers available locally which give the Republican side, such as the Chicago Tribune, Fort Wayne News-Sentinel, Indianapolis Star, and many smaller newspapers. We read them, and also many area Republican newspapers. We hope that you do, too. We have certainly never criticized others for being un-American, although that criticism has frequently been leveled against Democrats. We never intend to do so. We do not believe that Democrats or Republicans who are most certainly all Americans, gan possibly be un-American, since both parties

Inflation Is Again Top Economic Threat Authorize Increase In Discount Rates WASHINGTON (UPI) — Inflation is once again the nation’s No. 1 economic threat, as seen by the seven - man Federal Reserve Board. . The board made that clear Thursday night when it authorized the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to increase its charges of loans to member banks from 1% per cent to 2 per cent, effective today. This boost in the “discount rate" reversed the money-easing policy the board adopted last November to check the business recession. The other 11 Federal Reserve banks are expected to follow the San Francisco bank’s lead and ask the board for permission to raise the discount rates. Letting the demand for credit press hard against the supply has been the board’s \yay of trying to curb spending and price boosts in inflationary periods. During the recession when it wanted to stimulate spending the board increased the supply of money and credit, thereby forcing down interest rates; Arraign Three For Traffic Violations Three Other Drivers Scheduled To Appear Three drivers appeared in justice of the peace court Thursday evening to charges filed against them for traffic violations. Three more drivers are scheduled to appear in the near future. Dale W. Deeds,. 38. Deedsville, arrested by the city police department at 9:15 a.m. Thursday for driving a truck through a red light at Fifth and Monroe streets, appeared in justice of the peace court at 5 o’clock Thursday and was given a fine of $16.75. Richard L. Bauman, 21, Pleasant Mills, was arersted Sunday at 11:30 a.m. on U. S. 33 approximately one mile south of Pleasant Mills for driving a vehicle that did not possess a current registration plate. The case was continued indefinately, and a fine of $1.75 was assessed for the Bureau of Motor vehicle. — _ John E. Bauman, 31, 1135 Nuttm,an avenue, was arrested for permitting a driver to operate a motor vehicle owned by him that did not possess a current registration plate. The case was continued indifenately, and a fine of $1.75 taken for the bureau of motor vehicles, John B. Brockhouse, 23, Fort Wayne, arrested Thursday on U. S. 27 three miles north of Decatur for failure to yield the right of way to an emergency vehicle that was displaying a red light, will appear August 20 at 7 o’clock to the charge. Melvin E. Shaw, 44, Columbia City, was arrested Wednesday at 6:25 p.m. on the Piqua road approximately three miles north of IF. S. 224, for failure to stop at posted sign at Piqua road and the Monmouth road. Shaw will appear in the near future to the charges filed against him. represent d i f f e r e n t. American views. Your argument has often been advanced to us by Republicans who would feel less squeemish about voting for some of their questioned issues and personalities if Democrats would not show them up as such. We intend to continue to show them as questionable. We believe that this is the two-party system. We hope that, and know that, Re publicans will continue to likewise question Democratic issues and personalities. We are very sorry that you and others feel that you are being insulted. However, as long as there remains the possibility of your being'wrong and our being right, we will continue to espouse the Democratic cause. We hope that everyone realizes that this is politics, and just as in religion, everyone has a right to his own opinion. This newspaper will continue to have an editorial and political opinion as long as this is continued by other newspapers. We will continue tc believe that you, Miss Hammell and all others, have a perfect right to accept or reject any idea in th< editorials. They are to help yoi form an opinion, not to give yot one. We are extremely happy tc see that your civic-mindedness has prompted you to point out to us what you feel is an error in our way. While we do not agree with you, we will defend eternally your right to your own opinion, and your right to express it freely. We hope that you grant us the same in return. This is Decatur, not New York or Chicago, but it is part of the United States which includes us all, and we must all pursue the same policy to keep this nation the way we all want it. Sincerely, __ Dick D. Heller, Jr. President. "
