The University Daily Kansan editorial page has been running a series of political editorials and comments which have waxed the wrath of some of its readers. The paper has been subject to such invective as "Democratic" and has been accused of partiality . . .
The Daily Kansan is independent and neutral in all political matters, both on and off the campus, according to the constitution of the Kansan Board, governing body of the paper.
The Daily Kansan is pledged to print all sides of any controversial matter within space limitations. The editorial staff will respect this obligation.

All material printed on this page reflects the view of the editorial staff or the person who submits the copy. These opinions in no way constitute an approval or disapproval of any subject by the Daily Kansan.
However, to allay any suspicion readers might have that this page is covert or underhanded in the expression of its views, the members of the editorial staff are frank in their unanimous endorsement of Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson for president.

Matt Murray's Smile Shows Noble Qualities
Somewhere there may be someone who has had life a little harder, but in our mind Matt Murray has taken his difficulties—and there have been many—without a complaint and with a smile.
Matt was seen the other day hobbling along the street with a cane. Smiling, he nodded and spoke to nearly everyone he saw.
Matt didn't have much to say. Because his accident had temporarily impaired his memory, he had some difficulty in remembering names but his smile was the same.
"I'll never be able to express my thanks for all the wonderful help that was given me. But I'll never stop thanking everyone," he said.
Matt stayed out of college 10 years, working to support his mother and his brothers and sisters and to save money before he came to the University. While in college he continued working to help with expenses at home.
Then came the eventful date of Feb. 23, 1952. Coming back from Kansas City that Saturday night, Matt was injured in an automobile accident. Suffering a fractured thigh, head injuries, and cuts and bruises, he lay unconscious for nearly two weeks.
Meanwhile on the campus, plans were carried through for a benefit dance for him to help defray the cost of his operation.
To us a student like Matt is an honor to the University. His determination to receive an education will be surpassed only by his success after he is graduated. For Matt has shown his qualities.

Our legislators apparently are going under the theory of "take from the rich and give to the poor." Only the loot gets lost along the way.

Republicans Raise Cain In Liberal Washington
(Editor's Note): This is the eighth of a series of articles written to acquaint students with the issues and personalities involved in key states and their impact on society.
As the 1952 election approaches, the Eisenhower forces have little choice—they must hold all the seats they now possess and pick up three Democratic Senate seats as well.
One of the states that the Democrats hope to capture is Washington, traditionally explosive and progressive. The state is extremely liberal, labor is proverbially strong and its social legislation is probably the most progressive in the United States.
James A. Farley is supposed to have said of this area: "There are 47 American states, and the Soviet of Washington."
Washington Republicans will have to forget their differences and unite behind Sen. Harry P. Cain if he is to be re-elected, Opposing the senator who, according to New Republic, has "stood on every side of every issue" is Henry M. Jackson, a seven-term Congressman representing the Second (north-western) district.
Rep. Jackson has an impressive liberal voting record, which is even more impressive in Washington, with its Poplist and Progressive tradition and reputation of recording large Democratic majorities in the last five presidential elections.
There may be some lack of Republican unity because of Cain's split last spring with W. William Williams, Seattle, chairman of the State Republican central committee. Cain demanded William's resignation when the latter requested a leave of absence to head the Citizens for Eisenhower drive last spring.
A group of pro-Eisenhower Republicans, including Gov. Arthur B. Langlie, seeking re-election this year, are still remembering the raising-Cain incident.
Sen. Cain, an extreme right-winger, began his career as a leader of the Young Democrats. A former mayor of Tamoca, he defeated Rep. (hten Sen.) Hugh B. Mitchell (D) in the 1946 Senate race. He has been critical of the administration's foreign policy, and particularly the dismissal of Gen. Douglas Mac-Arthur.
He has further criticized the handling of the Korean war and the State Department's "softness" toward communism. He has been a leading critic of the administration's housing program and extension of rent control.
1950, "is endowed with a matchless ignorance on foreign affairs." He is known on the Senate floor, reports the New York Sun, for his "vigorous gesticulations, endurance and partiality for button-down collars and knitted ties."
"Harry P. Cain," said the New York Herald Tribune on June 15,
Rep. Jackson may have more in common with Eisenhower than Cain has, Anticipating that Cain would win the Sept. 9 Republican primary, Jackson armed himself with a fully documented case against Cain, based on the senator's voting record. The Democratic candidate is using it to full advantage to show that Cain differed from Eisenhower on many issues, particularly on foreign and military matters, and that Cain has not pressed Senate measures in
One Man's Opinion
By CHUCK ZUEGNER
Sen. Joe McCarthy (R-Wis) delivered a nationwide television speech last night in which he defended his position as chief communist hunter in our government.
In couched terms, he likened his crusade to the "skunk hunting" he did as a farm boy. "It was a smelly business," he said, "digging out the skunks. But it had to be done."
We're curious to know how the senator from Wisconsin went about his hunt. Did he use a logical method? Did he make a preliminary survey of where these skunks might be hiding and then systematically seek them out? Or did he helter-skelter hunt up every animal in the forest?
Perhaps in his foolish zeal the senator hunted down some pets of the farm, or a few stray chickens. But what is the difference? He got the skunks, didn't he?
Morally and politically, communists might be compared to skunks. Unfortunately, they do not emit the same odor and are not as easily detected. The senator acts as though they were.
Which is the whole point against the senator's helter-skelter hunt. Instead of using the force of reason based on irrefutable facts, he hunts with his nose.
