seems unlikely, the rule of Law, is going to be more and more the rule of reason as judges see it in the light of due process. Critics of the Court must realize that in most cases what they are objecting to is this rule of reason. Justice Holmes who did as much as anybody to foster the use of due process, could not say today with the old finality, 'This is a court of law!' For better or for worse the U. S. Supreme Court has become a tribunal of law and individual justice, with law in the traditional sense running a poor second."

I feel that this situation will bring about more decisions in favor of ONE Magazine and the Gay people, and will eventually put a stop to all the persecutions, both in the social and business world and in public service.

Dear Sirs:

Mr. W.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF.

I must hasten to tell you how much I think the Magazine has improved. It's almost like new magazine. TANGENTS, as always, keeps us informed as to what's going on around the country in an interesting, chatty style. The quality of the fiction is much higher, and the articles are right up-to-date. I like the "Letters" section, too, for a real exchange of ideas.

I know it's late, but you do deserve credit and congratulations on the Supreme Court decision. I wish I had funds to make a genuine contribution to the excellent, probably tiresome and mostly unrewarding work you are doing.

Dear ONE:

Mr. I.

BOSTON, MASS.

Especially enjoyed your June issue. I think the new series beginning with the Highway Patrolman quite a good one. Keep up the good work.

To the staff of ONE:

Mr. J. PORTLAND, ORE.

The June '58 Magazine is good throughout. Thirty pages are space enough when you have solid material to put on them. Although opportunities don't often come to me, I have tried to find subscribers, and in a few cases succeeded, but my failures have outnumbered the successes. Particularly irritating is the "better-than-ONE" attitude taken by some Easterners (and others). I picture them as sitting wisely on their behinds, doing nothing of any value for the cause. They'll read ONE, and read it greedily, if it is presented to them on a silver platter, but won't condescend to subscribe.

I am sure it's no news to you that your main support does come, and will come, from from the minority within the minority. However, there are many people who would read the Magazine if they knew about it. I would suggest advertising, but you know your actual limitations in this regard, at which I can only guess. You might remind the faithful to keep working through personal contacts and to find new subscribers.

If you could afford to add pages to every issue I'd suggest that on one page of every issue you publish a manifesto-a much boiled-down summary of facts, crucial points, aims

this for the benefit of those who had never read the Magazine before, and particularly for the benefit of those who know little about homosexuality. Such a manifesto should have careful consideration. You might ask various people to submit their versions. or outlines. Perhaps a study of past issues of ONE would bring out most of the material needed.

Such a manifesto should make a brief, hard case for justice, both in the laws and in attitudes. It should not ask for more than justice, or for less. It should appeal to reason, but it should rest on a sense of humanity.

Dear Editor:

Mr. W. DENISON, TEXAS

Some of the criticisms of ONE are unjustified. There are those who like to be extreme in their feelings and opinions. There are articles that I do not enjoy, but I think of those who would. For example, the Feminine Viewpoint does not interest me, but I am sure it interests the women. I am also a clergyman and was glad to read how Reverend K. feels toward his vocation.

If seems to me that many homosexuals avoid the practice of their religion. Could it be that they suffer from a guilt complex regarding their way of life? I feel that a man's sex instinct, like any of his human instincts, is a part of his creation. In his development into manhood his sex life does not always take a line acceptable to social standards. If he has not done anything to cause this then he should not feel guilty in the presence of the Divine. Neither should he feel that he is bad and take a "I don't care" attitude toward himself. It is only through the development of religious faith that a man is able to maintain self-respect. Homophiles should come to grips with this matter. I am wondering if this isn't why so many letters to the editor are tales of loneliness and anxiety.

I feel that ONE is doing just what it should do. Keep up the good work.

Rev. A.
