Editorial Roundup
Let Us Fall
Upon Our Knees
The seething pot of internal troubles boiled over this
week and we Americans faced our gravest internal peril
since the Civil War.
What to do?
First, obviously, is the restoration of law and order in
all the sacked cities. Next, punish the guilty. Then, deter
mine the causes; cut them away at their roots.
In this last connection President Johnson has appointed
a commission to investigate. The Griffin Daily News would
feel better about it if Herman Talmadge, Dick Russell or
J. Edgar Hoover were a member. Still the commission is
needed and at least the authorities finally appear to realize
the great danger which threatens our beloved nation.
Also the President has called for a day of Prayer on
Sunday. This we heartily endorse. Let us all fall upon our
knees, search our own hearts and pray to Almighty God.
Surely Americans everywhere can unite in prayer. It well
could be the forerunner of unity in other matters.
Here are editorials from several Georgia newspapers:
MARIETTA DAILY JOURNAL
“We will not tolerate lawlessness. We will not endure
violence.”
“. . . Pillage and looting and arson have nothing to do
with civil rights.”
It was good to hear the words come at last from the
White House. Let us hope it signals a change of direction
for the prevailing administration attitude toward the dis
astrous riots in our cities.
Many responsible Americans, of course, have long main
tained that the so-called “racial” violence actually bears no
constructive relationship to the Negro’s climb to equality
in our society. But the White House had remained silent,
and the general attitude of Washington officialdom has
been that new laws and new concessions have to be ap
proved for the Negro before cities can cope with the riots.
Most noticeably, there had been an obvious reluctance
on President Johnson’s part to speak out strongly against
the recklessness, the mass destruction, the killing and mai
ming of innocent people on the streets of one city after
another.
With his strong statement Monday night and his dis
patch of troops to quell the violence in Detroit, Johnson
took a large initial step toward filling that leadership
vacuum.
It is well for government at all levels to extend a helping
hand to those mired in the poverty of the city ghettos.
When they are willing to help themselves, federal, state
and local aid can help them overcome poverty, ignorance,
disease and filth. Many such programs, already are avail
able for those who seek a better life.
But those who “cry for help” by rioting, looting, burn
ing, pillaging, killing, injuring and destroying will first have
to be taught what they apparently haven’t learned——res
pect for law and order. That respect is at the heart of
everything truly constructive and progressive in this
country.
A firm hand, then, is essential. And the firm policy must
begin at the top, in the White House.
“We will not tolerate lawlessness. We will not endure
violence . . . This nation will do whatever is necessary to
punish those responsible.”
We hope President Johnson is prepared to back up his
words.
ROME NEWS-TRIBUNE
President Johnson’s impassioned appeal against pillage
and lawlessness in American cities is likely to fall on deaf
ears. The present administration and that just preceding
it set the stage for the violent upheaveals which have visit
ed communities across the nation when they condoned
“peaceful” marches and demonstrations without demand
ing mature responsibility.
In recent years masses have been permitted to gather to
damage private property and interfere with lawful com
merce in the guise of securing certain “civil rights.” Such
actions not only were permitted but were upheld by courts
when communities tried to cope with them under local
laws. They were encouraged by irresponsible public offi
cials, educators and members of the clergy who professed
to see something noble in defying laws with which the dem
onstrators happened not to agree.
The price of condoning and encouraging such defiance
has been brought home to the whole country and is mea
sured in lives lost, thousands injured and property damages
in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Those who have
been given free rein in the past are not likely to be curbed
by appeals now. . . .
THOMASVILLE TIMES - ENTERPRISE
... It seems we have reached the point in our national
history, where too many highly placed officials are more
concerned with maintaining and protecting their own
political safety and well being, rather than in upholding the
laws which their oath of office dictates.
Whatever our socialogical problems may be, and they
are many, it is essential we recognize the basic principle of
protecting the rights of all the people, as against granting
immunity to punishment to those who take the law into
their hands, and in so doing usurp the functions of an
organized society, and cause a return to the law of the
jungle.
Unless officers of the law are given the protection of the
law, the time may not be far distant when it will become
even more difficult to employ men as officers, because of
the dangers which beset those who though armed, may be
officially directed not to exercise the authority necessary to
protect the public, whom they are employed to protect.
DUBLIN COURIER - HERALD
.. . But in the end, we are convinced, that only a respect
for law, or a fear of disobeying it, will bring again domestic
tranquility.
The question of how is still unanswered.

ANSWER rn
Adultry Wrong
Where In the Bible can I find
that adultery is wrong? W.P.
A more reasonable question
would be; where in the Bible can
you find that adultery is right?
The seventh commandment is:
"Thou shalt not commit adul
tery.” Jesus expanded this com
mandment when he said: “He
that looketh upon a woman to
lust after her hath committed
adultery with her already in his
heart.” (Matt. 5:28). There are
few sins mentioned as often as
the sin of immorality in the Bi
ble. It is the foe of the home, the
family, the character, and socie
ty.
In the twentieth chapter of Le
viticus the Lord expressed His
revulsion at this sin by giving a
severe penalty for breaking His
commandment regarding it. Man
has softened the penalty for the
sin of immorality, and our world
has paid a terrible price in di
vorce, broken homes, frustrated
children, and in the fragmented
morals of the nations.
God forbade adultery, forni
cation and all kinds of immora
lity because He knew what It
would do to devastate and ruin
the race. While it is not the only
sin, as far as it’s effect on socie
ty is concerned, it is one of the
worst. The advocates of sex
freedom, whose writings are so
popular, forget to point out that
with sex freedom goes respon
sibility: the responsibility of fac
ing the facts of history in re
gard to this evil.

REPORTS FROM THE. UNITED STATES SENATE '
J
THE INCREASING COST of conducting political cam
paigns has resulted in several varying proposals for some sort of
government financial support, including one Administration
measure that has become quite controversial.
Basically, the problem is to find ways and means for en
couraging greater rank and file citizen participation and interest
in the political process, and at the same time to provide political
candidates with an adequate source of funds to meet campaign
expenses without having to rely on large contributions of spacial
interest groups.
I have introduced a “tax incentive” political contribution
bill which will achieve these goals and which has several advan
tages over the Administration bill. In my opinion, my bill,
S. 2073, is the only acceptable approach to government support
for political campaigns and would be the best vehicle for con
gressional action in this area.
• • •
THE TALMADGE BILL would allow income tax credits or
deductions for political contributions made to candidates in any
federal, state or local general or primary election.
It would allow the taxpayer, at his option, (1) to take at
least one-half of his total contributions to political campaigns,
up to an annual maximum of $lO, as a credit on his federal in
come taxes, or (2) to deduct political contributions from his
gross income, up to an annual maximum of SIOO.
This approach would insure all taxpayers of an opportunity
to benefit regardless of their tax bracket, and it would encourage
relatively small contributions from the greatest number of per
sons, thereby reducing the likelihood of a candidate being forced
to seek campaign funds font special interests which have axes
to grind.
• * •
THE ADMINISTRATION BILL by providing for a direct
subsidy in the form of a congressional appropriation to political
parties, contains a number of serious faults concerning control
and administration of the funds and there is nothing in the bill
to prevent the Communist Party of the U. S. A. from receiving
congressionally-appropriated federal funds.
The increasing cost of running for political office needs our
attention, and I believe my bill provides the most sensible solu
tion.

New Morality
Counter Move
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Topic at college bull sessions
in recent years has been the so
called “new morality” which
encourages premarital sex ex
perience.
It has been enthusiastically
promoted by Playboy Magazine,
with an assist from certain
theologians who are not noted
for their reticence about publici
ty.
That it is having an impact on
undergraduate attitudes is clear
from a report in the Journal of
the American Medical Associa
tion by Dr. Seymore Halleck,
director of student psychiatry at
the University of Wisconsin. He
said that 70 per cent of the
coeds who responded to a
confidential questionnaire af
firmed the belief that there is
“nothing wrong” with premari
tal sexual intercourse.
However, only 22 per cent
said they had actually engaged
in intercourse. The disparity
between the two figures sug
gests that there may be a good
many girls who feel it would be
“square” to disapprove of
premarital sex, but who are
nevertheless maintaining their
own virginity for reasons which
they sense to be good ones even
though they are unable to
articulate them.
Presents Counter-Arguments
The Rev. Paul F. Bosch,
Lutheran campus chaplain at
Syracuse University, believes
that it’s time some counter
arguments were made available
to these girls (and to the
substantial number of boys who
secretly admire and approve
I their stand).
“I believe the ‘new morality'
can be shown to be false at
almost every point,” Pastor
Bosch writes in the current
Issue of the Lutheran Magazine.
He then proceeds to dissect
“the four arguments most
frequently mentioned in bull
sessions by exponents of tho
'new morality.’ ”
Argument No. 1 is that sex is
simply a game, like tennis. “As
long as no one gets hurt, and no
one takes is seriously, it’s fun
and there’s no harm in it.”
The Syracuse chaplain ack
nowledges that this light
hearted view of sex may make
some sense for boys. But he
notes that there is “a vast
difference between male sexua
lity and female sexuality.”
“Sex is one thing women take
seriously, even if they joke
about it. Their whole physiology
is bound up in their sexuality in
away that it isn’t in the male
of the species, and a woman
has a lot more at stake.” For a
woman, "seriousness and re
sponsibility and commitment”
are inevitably tied up with a sex
1 elationship, no matter how cool
and casual she may try to keep
it.
Normal Human Appetite
Another argument of the
"new moralists” is that sex is
merely an appetite, like hunger,
and should be satisfied as
matter-of-factly as any other
normal human need.
“There’s a large measure of
truth in this argument,” Pastor
Bosch concedes. But it smug
gles in the premise that human
happiness consists in prompt
satisfaction of all appetites. And
this just isn’t true, he says.
Only spoiled children expect to
have all their wants gratified.
The ability to discipline appe
tites — including sex — is the
mark of a mature personality.
The third argument holds that
"sex is simply a matter of
getting-to-know r -you,” a bond of
intimacy which helps two people
develop deeper mutual under
standing. Pastor Bosch grants
that sex does perform that
function. In fact, he points out,
the Bible uses the verb “to
know” as a synonym for sexual
union. But again, there’s more
to it than that. For “knowledge
means power, particularly in
Interpersonal relationships.” To
know someone intimately is to
put him or her in a position of
vulnerability.
Need Complete Relationship
“We must be scrupulously
careful, in all human relation
ships, that the levels of
knowledge shared are appro
priate to the actual bonds which
exist, or else we’ve wounded or
been wounded, or both . . .
There’s something inappropriate
and inauthentic—something ‘in
sincere’—about ‘going all the
way’ sexually while at the same
lime going only part way
emotionally or intellectually—or
financially.”
The final argument for the
“new morality” is that sex is
simply an expression of love, a
sign or symbol of affection.
Since Christians uphold love as
the ideal basis of all human
relationships, the argument
Implies, they should be in favor
of maximum sex activity for
everyone.
This, however, is just a
semantic game, made possible
by the fact that the English
language has only one word,
“love,” to cover a range* of
human emotions for which the
Greeks used at least four
different verbs. The kind of love
which Christ commanded his
followers to show to all persons,
including their enemies, was
what the Greeks called
“agape.” It is a pure disinter
ested, unselfish love which has
nothing to do with going to bed
with someone (a kind of love
which the Greeks called
“eros.”)
