Probably other parents of small children do, too. We can assume the Hickenlooper girl was old enough to know she might be leaving the door open to trouble.

Just to be able to tell the editor off and state what one would do if he were the editor. What he would publish; and on what page certain news events should be carried and so on. Of course it should be the privilege of the censoring individual to have all the articles of his own choosing to be his liking published on the front page, and those items not to will be it where relegated to some inside and obscure page difficult to find. That is what the censoring editor would do if he were in charge of the paper. And of course if the censoring editor was the actual editor he would only carry articles of a political nature that would coincide with his own political opinions. But for some reason most newspapers are not publshed that way. A newspaper that is worthy of the name is published for the dissemination of news of all kinds that is of interest to the readers of that paper, It is the editor's job and privilege to so sort the many news releases that come to his desk each week and pick and choose from them such morsels of news as he thinks is of interest to his readers. Of course he is anxious to carry as much of the purely local news as he can or is able to get. The news columns of a country newspaper are made up of such local news as is available and such other news articles as are of interest to his readers. If such releases closely apply to his particular area so much the better. He chooses those of such nature with the understanding that should be in the minds of all his readers that such articles are not his own, but have come to him from various agencies and news gathering facilities organized for that purpose. Sometimes such releases have a personal reference to some individual or company or associate and when not considered of a derogatory or libelous nature the editor publishes it. The reader should known that such article is not written by the editor, nor does it always have his unqualified approval. The readers of a newspaper should know and understand that it is the editorial columns of the paper that voice the opinions and policy of the paper and, of course, the editor. That is his purely personal ami what his editorials, if any, sav, can rightly be taken as the opinion of the editor and the policy of the paper. The editorials that are carried in a newspaper arc the personal privilege of any reader to criticise. The reader has the right to approve or to object to any editorial that a newspaper carries, for it is the editor speaking and any reader has the privilege to agree or disagree to any opinion by the editor. Hut it should be the obligation also of the reader to confine his criticisms in reasonable terms, giving the editor the full right also to people would probably say freedom. The desire for has been liberty t me leasuu .1uia.1i. wars have been fought. Every Li? human owes it to being him-- s f sometime in his life to learn to be his own boss, to do his own thinking, to make his own plans, to stand on his own two feet. Yet of the forty billion people that have lived on the earth in the last two thousand years, only one billion have been free. Even in the great, free land of America, where everyone is politically free, most men are living in economic and occupational slavery, where the hours, vacations, unemployment, kind of work, etc., are determined by e 1 someone else. When we enumerate the great freedoms and count our benefits, we should remember that most of our troubles come because of our free agency. If we fail, who is to blame? If we lack objectives and fail to plan no one can . . . be held responsible but ourselves. If we lack industry or fail to study or fill our personality full of defects and our effort full of sloth, who is responsible? The lack of the ability to manage ourselves is a common weakness in the executive agencies during ad- human beings. The of man took place bejournment. It is during this pe- cause fall of freedom.

Dawson Most political columnists would have you believe that it is Washington's summer heat that puts the pressure on Congress to adjourn. This is not the case. Most members of Congress have families to accompany them when they return home to meet with their constituents and review state problems. In order to make this possible, Congress must adjourn before school starts. This year we did not make it. As a result most of us will reluctantly leave our families in Washington, while we return to the state. fi-- ruovo OFFICE My plans are to open an office the City and County Building Provo. The office will be open from 9 a.m. 'til 5 p.m. Monday through Friday from September 16 to September 20. During October, I will have an office in Salt Lake City in the Newhouse Hotel. I hope any resident of my district who has a problem with his government, or who has some suggestions that would assist me in my work in Congress will feel free to make an appointment to see me. Many outstanding legislative accomplishments originate as the result of independent thinking on the part of our citizens who share these ideas with their representatives in Washin in and benefits obtained by work ers under this act.

We're also told by one segment of psychiatrists that these men are often sane in the literal interpretation and it is unfair to keep them in custody. Therefore they are released. Interestingly enough, you can almost always get an sometimes argument on the sanity of an individual. Sanity, it times defies seems, is a thing which many description. Because it is so boundless, it becomes largely a matter of personal opinion. Some psychiatrists say yes; some no when discussing the same individual. Be that as it may, none of us untrained in diagnosing and treating the mentally ill can consider ourselves capable of judging. Only when that man, released upon society, again demonstrates his lack of sanity can we feel our opinion might have weight. Then, unfortunately, it is too late. This little tyke will long remember the advances made upon her. The fact the man was insane will not erase the indelible tracing left on the pattern of her mind. The fact the man was insane does not lessen the magnitude of his crime. It was only fortune that protected the victim from death itself. We find ourself wondering whether parole is applied correctly. Do we not assume a criminal is never released until authorities are virtually certain he will not again violate the law? But how many parolees are returned to prison? Should we not be able to assume a released inmate of a mental institution is safe to be allowed freedom to roam among others? Yet how often does such a crime as that of last week recur? How many parents felt, as we did, that this man should now be so placed in an institution that he will never be let but the safety out again? We've tried to be objective, too of a child is far more important in our book than the rehabilitation of a psychopathic criminal. Prexy Lauded v r As other editors see it . . . to take up.
