A ————————
SHADOWS OVER HARRISBURG
“If we are forced into war” wrote Thomas Jefferson, a century and
a half ago, “we must give up political differences of opinion and unite
as one man to defend our country. But whether at the close of such a
war we should be as free as we are now, God knows.”
We have thought about that remark many times since the war was
forced upon us and we have seen apparent indications that we are sce-
ing ourselves and others in a new light,
We have hoped that the JeDersonian expression, we must give up
our political differences of opinion and unite as one man to defend
our country. We had a Utopian hope that we could adopt that in toto
and also by leaving off the “to defend our country.”
Of course we would unite to defend our country, But we are hoping
too that the experience would teach us the wisdom of the first part of
the sentence,
: When the present regime took over at Harrisburg and our ow Gen-
eral Martin became Governor Martin, we hoped even more that petty
politics would be forgotten, And when his administration took over
with such a general gesture of men seeing eye to eye for the good of the
commonwealth our hopes rose appreciably.
It is beginning to appear that all men at Harrisburg are not seeing
eye to eye. It seems that politics will be injected to disrupt the program
of 4 war-time session,
If this develops, it will be generally regretted. It is not important
from which side of the political fence the initiative or the offense comes,
both will suffer.
There is a phase of office holding which all too many men fail to
grasp, They are servants of the people and not sent to the state halls to
fashion legislation to fit themselves, A measure should and must be
considered on its merits and on its affect on all peoples and not how
it will affect the political destiny of one man or a group of men,
There are rumblings being heard and they have ominous portent.
We hope that they will disappear in the light of reason and a break
between admin nistsation and a minority group will not develop~From
