Show i soutn Our Editoria! PsSIcy For a Better CacBi Valley WASHINGTON. One thing General Marshall hasnt learned in his difficult role as secretary of state is the importance of keeping the American public informed. Not only has he abandoned the daily press conferences of previous secretaries of state, but also his undersecretary, Bob Lovett, has ordered a new blackout which helps to mystify rather than clarify the issues Marshall should want the public to understand. Twenty-od- d years ago, Secre- State Charles Evans Hughes began a policy of meeting the press once a day. At times he even held conferences twice a day. Thus began a period of genuinely frank and open . diplomacy. Other Republican secretaries of state Frank B. Kellogg, Henry L. Stimson followed suit. So also for a while did Cordell Hull. However, because of illness, Hulls conferences gradually lapsed. Jimmie Byrnes held conferences intermittently, but now Marshall has suspended them almost altogether. Instead of daily meetings, his press conferences can be counted on the fingers of two hands. At first this could be chalked up to inexperience. New at the game, Marshall was not familiar with various foreign questions, felt he couldnt talk about them to the press. But now that he has the reins firmly in his hand, Marshall still shuns the old Republican tradition of regular press conferences. tary Freedom Train Should Impress Us An occasion as Columbus Day gives reflection on the development of the U. S. since its discovery in 1492. It leads us to discuss the Freedom Train, a present innovation, composed of three exhibition cars, that is to make a tour into every state of the union, within the next twelve months. Prepared by the American Heritage Foundation, sponsored by., the.. Attorney General, endorsed by the President, this Freedom Train proposes to impress upon us the essence of democracy, the sanctity of the individual, our freedom and liberties, hard fought for. Its purpose is not to detract from a feeling of internationalism, but to instill further pride in our way of life. The Freedom Train contains 131 documents and many flags that mark the advance in liberty in America. The cars are painted red, wliite and blue, a fitting scheme for the exhibition. Among the documents, dated in order, there is a letter written in 1493 by Christopher Columbus announcing the discovery of America, through the United Nations Charter of 1945. Included is the Mayflower Compact, Jeffersons draft of the Declaration of Ideiendence, Bay Psalm Book, Washingtons own copy of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, original manuscript of The Star Spangled Banner, the Emancipation Proclamation, logbook of the frigate Constitution, Declaration of Independence of the Pliillipines, last message from Corregidor, Japanese and German surrender documents, the flag raised over Iwo Jiina, and many, many more interesting papers and flags. We hope it might be possible for every citizen of Cache County to see this exhibition on the Freedom Train. . of GILBERT McDOWELL South Cache Courier Lets Avoid Trouble candi- date personally, and usually they are friends and quaintances. There is no need for party politics under these conditions. ac- I Local issues and national issues have no connection what-- . ever. It certainly is not a fundamental with Republicans that all towns have sewers. It is not a basic tenet of the Democrats that they do not have them. If the issue before the townspeople should be whether or not to support th man that wants to put in a sewer, party affiliations and beliefs certainly have no bearing on the subject. All local issues should be weighed on their merit, and local candidates can be chosen without engaging in heated and bitter contests that cause lasting scars and create such a bad feeling in the community. o matter under the Act of March 3, 1879.

Published Democrat You can write it down that Henry Wallace finally has made up his mind not to lead a third party in the 1948 election campaign. The Wallace decision came after a political survey showed: 1. A third party would have no chance of victory in 1943. 2. A third party would elect Republicans everywhere. 3. There is more hope of liberalizing the Democratic party than of forming a successful third party. The Wallace decision means that he definitely will remain in the Democratic party, although he has reached no decision about supporting Mr. Truman for reelection. Wallace and aides wont admit it publicly, but privately they believe Mr. Truman has only a slight chance for reelection, no matter whom the Republicans nominate. In some towns of the valley the political pot boils hot, and in othei's the selection of city officials is a calm affair.
