Rich, Good and Wise Alexander Hamilton, secretary of the treasury under George Washington, and founder of the Federalist party, forerunner of the Whig and Republican parties, was very distrustful of the masses of people; so he founded a party based on the theory that only the rich, good, and wise had the right to rule. Now few would deny that the "good” and the “wise” should rule. They might even feel that the “rich” would have more interest in government than the “poor.” But ■ how would you judge if a man were rich, good, and wise? For Hamilton this was very simple. If you were rich, then you owned land. Therefore, ownership of land was,a prerequisite of voting in his system. If you were wise, you could read and write, so literacy was made another prerequisite. And of course if you were “good.” you were a member of the state church. So membership of a particular church was made'necessary. In addition you also had to be white, a male, and 21 years of age. How did this work in practice? Well, in Virginia a voter had to own a certain number of acres, be a member of the Episcopalian church, and be able to read and write. Now reading and writing seems to be a reasonable qualification today, when every boy and girl has the right and duty to attend school for at least 9 years. But in pioneer times, only the rich had. the spare time to learn to read and write, and there were no public schools. Many did not believe in the state church of Virginia —they wanted to practice the religion in which they had been brought up, the religion of their mother country. Ownership of land was somewhat difficult in the earliest days, as most people indentured themselves for seven years or more just to obtain passage to America. That meant that they must serve as maids, butlers, or kitchen help without pay practically like slaves or serfs, until they had “earned” their freedom. It was difficult under these circumstances for the people to obtain enough money, education, and desire to own land. So, while in theory the idea of the “rich, good, and wise” sounded wonderful, in practice it broke down into a form of tyranny of the “haves” over the “have nots.” The democratic theories of Jefferson changed all this. Jefferson, founder of the Democratic party, believed that every man should have an equal chance. As author of the declaration of independence, he put his thoughts into words. He believed very strongly that every man should be economically free, educated at public expense, and given a chance to carve his own fortune out of the wilderness. Jefferson was the author of the Virginia bill of religious freedom, which gave every religion the same rights in that state—no longer did you have to belong to the Episcopalian church to be counted as a citizen of the state. He founded the University of Virginia, and moved for more public education. In other words, Jefferson made it possible for all of us to be rich, if we want to work that hard, to be good, and to be wise. It is up to us. And it is also up to us if we want to take the time and interest to vote, and take part in government. Jefferson wanted no standards set by the state which would attempt to separate and judge people as good, wise, and rich. He just wanted them all to have the opportunity to be good, wise, and rich, if they desired to be.

Unbelievable Trip Outlined Bor Ike

WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Eisenhower's forthcoming 11 nation good-will tour shaped up today as the most ambitious and - arduous undertaking since recovering from his 1955 heart attack. With the receipt, of last-minute cables from foreign governments, the White House was making public one at a time, the detailed country-by - country schedule of his 22,370-mile trip which begins Thursday night. And with each schedule, the three-continent journey unfolded as a story of almost unbelievable expenditure of energy on the President’s part; unbelievable in the sense that most men 69 years old and with a background of three major illnesses in the last four years would not dream of racing across the world in the Eisenhower manner. Not only will Eisenhower follow a rugged schedule in each country on his itinerary. He will start his trip with a major speech to the American people Thursday night just before takeoff, and! speak to them again shortly after. his return Dec. 22. One Basic Message Why this back-breaking ac-> tivity? Associates of the Presi-i dent said he’s tired of hear-1 ing that the Communists are ahead not only in the race into space, but in the battle for men’s minds. He thinks the time is overdue for visiting a number of countries where no American president has ever ventured. He will speed by jet half way around the world with one basic message: If the free nations want to stay free, they'd better stick together. While he’s away, he wants the American people to understand ■ [that they have a stake in world | peace, too. Hence his pre-depart-ure press conference Wednesday and the speech Thursday night ; just before takeoff when he will 1 discuss not only his journey but the steel dispute at home. Meantime, the. varied and en- t ergetic nature of Eisenhower's t

trip grew in scope with each new announcement from Press Secretary James C. Hagerty- His detailed itineraries largely were for I planning of pess, radio and photo-1 graphic coverage, but here are' some indicative enties: Four Public Talks —His Dec. 7-9 visit in Karachi, Pakistan, will include four informal public talks; a procession in a horse-drawn state carriage, attendance at the Australian-Pakis-tan cricket matches in the national stadium; attendance at a mass band concert, tribal dances, a demonstration of cavalry riding and even tent-pegging by Pakistani troops. He’ll also make an aerial survey of a huge refugee colony by helicopter. —When he visits Iran for a few hours on Dec. 14, hc'll start his day before dawn in New Delhi, riding to the airport with Prime Minister Nehru in time for a takeoff well before 7 a.m. Members of his entourage must be ready to move from their quarters in New Delhi before 5 a m. The President will be in India from the’ afternoon of Dec. 9 until his early morning Dec. 14 departure. He will make at least six speeches, visit with girl guides and boy scouts, pay homage at the tomb of Mahatma Ghandi. fly to see the Taj Mahal, visit a farming community and an agricultural marketing center, attend assorted receptions, luncheons and dinners — and hold business talks with Nehru.

Exchange Student May Return To County Word has been repeived by friends here that George Stergiou, of Spata, Athens, Greece, who was an I FYE student here during the summer of 1956, may be able to return to this country for a visit this winter. Stergiou has only to pass a physical examination now to receive his passport. If all goes well, he will leave Greece December 17 by air, and arrive in the United States the following day. During his visit in this country, which will include a number of business stops and will last until the end of January, he expects to visit in the Decdtur area with the Arthur Koeneman family in Preble township.

. Early Christmas Mailing Is Urged “It's time to start those ChristI mas mailings!” postmaster Leo f Kirsch said today. “On the calen- > dar Christmas is 24 days away, but here in the post office it's ‘ Christmas every- day from now I on.” ' "Actually, to get all of the Christmas gifts and cards deliver1 ed on time is largely a matter of advance planning and preparation that should be done this week,” • the postmaster pointed out. “Don't take chances on mailing poorly wrapped packages,” he said. “Use sturdy corregated mailing cartons, plenty of hbavy brown wrapping paper, and be sure that every package is tied with strong cord. Cartons containing several I gift packages should be well sfufj fed with tissue or old newspapers to cushion the contents.” He said further, “If you have articles of unusual size or bulk, 'better check with the post office (before attempting to mail them — the limits on size and weight of packages vary, depending on where you mail your packages from.” As an extra precaution against loss, the postmaster advised placing both the return address and the recipient’s address on an extra label inside the carton or package before it is wrapped. • “If you use Christmas stickers or seals, put them on the back of i your Christmas card envelopes so that they will not conflict with the address on the front. "Before you mail your gift packages be sure that proper postage is firmly affixed to each. "It's always a good idea to place a piece of transparent cellophane tape over the address portion of the label to prevent defacing it in transit. Most important of all. be

sure to include the recipient’s full name, street address, city, zone and state on your labels.” Here are some other helpful sugigestions from the post office: “Al- • ways send your Christmas cards by first class mail. They will be delivered quicker and they’ll be forwarded or returned, if it becomes necessary. Christmas cards sent by first class four cent or seven cent air mail may carry written messages; whereas, cards , sent with third class three cent . postage may only have a written ( signature and will not be forwarded or returned. “It is always advisable to include your return name and address on each Christmas card envelope because this helps your friends to keep their mailing lists up-to-date and insures correction of your own list if the card is returned as undeliverable. “The entire Christmas mailing period is primarily a battle against time. If you delay now in getting your Christmas cards and gift packages to the post office, dreaded pile-ups are bound to occur, causing unavoidable slowdowns in deliveries as the holiday approaches. “All mail going long distances should be sent well before DecemI ber 10. Christmas packages for local delivery should be mailed by December- 15, and be sure to mail Christmas cards for nearby destinations at least a week before Christmas.”
