EDITOR’S MOTTO
“Be not diverted from your
duty by any idle reflections
the silly world may make
upon you, for their censures
are not in your power and
should not be at all your con
cern”—Epictetus.Roman philo
sopher.
VOLUME 47 - NUMBER 23
A Voice in the Wilderness
Have You Looked at
Your Graduation Gifts?
Take a look at the long list of presents given our
high school and college graduating students this year.
The “loot” they have garnered is astounding in
value and importance if they will but examine it
carefully.
A country of freedom and opportunity has been
laid in their laps. A representative republic where
everyone is equal before the law and where the
poorest can become the richest.
And in their hands has been placed the accumu
lation of wisdom and knowledge of a thousand
thousand years and more.
In the hands of these 1969 graduates has been
placed all the scientific inventions of the keenest
minds the world has produced for centuries, the
electric age, the atomic age, the planetary age —
the wonders of this illimitable universe.
At their hands and in their service mankind has
struggled, suffered, agonized up through the un
counted centuries of time. Oceans of blood has been
shed to bring them to this day of graduation. All
that mankind and God hath wrought since the
foundation of the world has been brought and simply
placed in their hands.
The ardous pilgrimage of mankind has been
made in their behalf.
No generation of graduates has ever had such
a treasury of gifts laid in their laps.
Unlimited horizons are theirs because mankind
has lifted them to the pinacle of all human achieve
ments.

I Herman Talmadge
v . W.VA*
REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE j
.v. O
THE UNITED STATES has been plagued in recent years by
growing traffic in obscene material, with virtually no control over
its production, distribution, or sale.
The tremendous increase of obscenity which we have seen
throughout America is mainly the result of broad and ill-advised
interpretations of the First Amendment by the U. S. Supreme
Court. Worse yet, the Court has persisted in a policy of striking
down anti-obscenity laws in our cities and states.
Thus far, the Court has not even adequately defined “obscenity”
and “pornography.” One major guideline set by the Court is
whether such material has any “redeeming social value. I defy
anyone, on the Court or off, to look at some of the filth on maga
zine and book stands, to read the so-called “underground” news
papers, and to see some current films, and then to tell me that
there is any “redeeming social value” in this stuff, or in fact any
value at all.
TO COMBAT THIS THREAT, I am backing the Administra
tion’s anti-obscenity drive by cosponsoring two bills introduced by
Senator Dirksen. One measure, S. 2703, would prohibit the use of
the mails to send obscene and pornographic material to minors.
The other, S. 2704, Would bar the interstate transport, including
the mails, of salacious advertising, “designed to appeal to a prurient
interest in sex.”
Both bills call for stiff penalties, with fines up to $50,000 for the
first offense and imprisonment up to five years, and a possible
SIOO,OOO fine and 10 years imprisonment for a second violation.
THE TIME IS LONG OVERDUE for Congressional action to
stop obscene materials from going through the mails, and from
possibly falling into the hands of minors. In fact, we ought to do
whatever we can to stop their sale once and for all.
American citizens are fed up with smut peddlers. They have
looked to the courts and to law enforcement agencies for relief
and found it woefully inadequate. In the last nine months alone
about 140,0 C— protests concerning salacious mail have been filed
with the Post Office Department
Our people have a right to expect their government to set up
enforceable defenses against obscenity. I hope the Congress will
soon respond to this urgent need.
