Portland has become famous
for its Rose Festival, because it
may be said that there is one hun
dred per cent co-operation on the
part of everyone in the city. The
Pendleton Roundup, I can remem
ber, was once just a small rodeo.
What made these two events fa
mous? Co-operation, of course. It
is all that is needed light here
in Brookings.

For What Ifs Worth .
----------------------------------------- By C lifford P. R owe
As the tim e ap proaches for p a rty conventions, th e voting citizen
begins to 1 m * a little w orried about the choice of candidates w hich
m ay lx* offered him com e next N ovem ber. Som e
of th e m ore serious ones a re even beginning to
doubt the reliab ility of e ith e r p arty .
T he D em ocratic p a rty is definitely a t a low’ ebb,
stam ped as it is w ith th e co rru p tio n which com es
to any group too long in control. T h eir only hope
is a leader not involved in the p re sen t governm ent
mess. K e fau v er would seem to be th a t m an.
H ow ever, since no m achine ev er q u its running
for sen tim en tal or sensible reasons, it is highly
probable th a t th e new -deal, fair-deal bigwigs
will risk losing the presidential jackpot in o rd e r
to nom inate one of th e ir own hirelings as a sort of
wolf in donkey’s clothing.
T h e R epublicans face th e ir g re atest o p p o rtu n ity since H oover’s
m o rtg a g e w as foreclosed in 1932. Yet they a re alread y beginning to
act in th e ir usual stum bling, bungling m anner. W ith R epublicans
ev e ry w h ere praying for an o u tstan d in g leader, a m an in whom all
can have confidence, E isenhow er would seem th e logical answ er. B ut
again. Eisenhow er, as K efauver, is not a p a rty m achine m an, and
ao it m ay w-ell be th a t th e tw o conventions m ay ignore th e people’s
choices in the in tere st of selfish p a rty (xditics.
W h ere th e people have voted in prim aries, K efau v er and E isen
how er have tak en o u tstan d in g leads. W here political p arty p o ten
ta te s have selected can d id ates through h o rse-trad in g and p o rk -b a r
rel prom ises, th e tw o m en have been ignored.
T h e very tact th a t E stes and Ike a re not the fair-haired boys of
th e p a rty m achines m ay bo the very clue th e A m erican v o ter is
seeking. If the p a rtie s are sm art, they will heed th e choice of the
people for those sam e people a re g ettin g m ighty fed up w ith po lit
ical m onkey-shines. If th e re w as ever an ap p ro p riate tim e for
th ird p a rty to win an election, it is now.

On the other hand many dairy

hay mowed and were unable to
put it up before the rain hit, and
damage will be suffered by thf
hay since it to discolored badly.
Cherry growers in the Hood River
area hate suffered untold damage

Will grant that the local library
will not compare with those in
Eugene, Salem, and many large
cities, but nevertheless, the library
has more facilities than many are
aware. Increased use of this li-
bray will enable the library com
mittee to expand the present fa
