EDITORIALS

REPUBLIC vs. DEMOCRACY On Monday last while attending Rotary club, we had the opportunity of listening to one Clifford Hirschman, an Indianapolis manufacturer, who has Jor years and continues to make his summer residence on Lake Wawaaee. In fact, this same, gentleman is a member of the state conservation department's policy making committee. This position places our friend Hirschman in a position in which he can be of much help to our interests lakewise. In fact, he has proven to have had the Interests of this area very much uppermost in his actions. So far. so good. Mr. Hirschman did choose to speak briefly on conservation, but all too briefly. From there on the story changes. Our speaker ehtee to evaluate the United States in the terms of being a Republic and not a democracy. In fact, hls Utterances took on the tone of a & politician at times, and such being the case. he is subject to I criticism on the same basis. It’s a long story the difference between a republic and a democray and we think much of it is "much ado about nothing." However, we will not buy sight unseen a statement which claasifiea our country as a republic and England as a democracy with the Implication that a democracy is no good. If. however, we were anxious to narrow our thinking and permit a little cement to permeate »ur thinking apparatus, we would adopt the speech of friend Hirschman words. props and features alike Nonetheless, it presents the possibility that you too might like to spend a quiet evening at home musing over the question: "What is the difference between a democracy and a republic?'' Kick it around for all its wqrth For the life of us. we can t get the difference boiled down to the point where black is black and white is white. In this respect, our speaker has become quite successful.
