We the people have m ade our choice for the man who will direct the destiny of our nation for the next four years. lie is our Persident, irrespective as to w hether w e w ere tor him or against him during the campaign. We are all for him now. Therein lies the greatness and the stren g th of o u r nation, our willingness to accept the will of the people as law. T his is sacred to us. ’Phis condition does not prevail in m any other countries. Let us takek a survey of the last 80 years of history. The political regim e of all nations, except the British Empire, the Scandinavian countries, Holland and Belgium have been overthrow n by force, an unsuccessful rival seiging an opj>ortunity to raise an arm y and gain power by force. O ur sister republics to the south of us have had many internal revolutions, leaving th eir country a seething condition of unrest and a sta te of poverty as the after- m ath of internal strife. F o rtu n ately Am ericans will not tolerate any such m ovem ents ami accept as sacred the verdict of the people as final. This is on»* of ft he great reasons why our nation during its short period of history, less than two hundred years, has m ade g re a te r progress than all the rest of the combined nations of the world, many of them having thousands of years of history in the past. The defeated candidates gracefully subm it to the verdict ex pressed at the polls and send messages of congratulations to th e ir victorious rivals wishing them a successful adm inistration. One of th<* finest m essages showing the Am erican spirit con tained these w ords: "We subm itted the issue to the Am erican people and their will is law.” In this instance the cam paign had been what we call "a hot one.” Both candidates were exceptionally clean, fine men. How ever the unsuccessful candidate had been subjected to vicious a tta c k s of every kind; the ideas they advocated w ere new for th at tune, but most of ft hem have tieen enacted into law since then. His greatness was shown by his message to his winning opponent, acknowledging the basic American ideal The people's will is law and their condition such that it is the envy of the nations of the earth E verything is not ideal, th at is true, but we do not have to put guards around our people when they leave to visit other countries. They are alw ays very willing to come back and if they are not, they a re thrice welcome to stay away. If any dele gation of our people goes to another country, we do not have them guarded so they cannot com m unicate with the citizens there. How m arvelous it is to come and go as you please. T here is one evidence that proves America is the greatest country on the globe. 'Phis is the evidence: Should we throw down the bars and tak e off all restrictions on our im m igration laws, the people by the millions, from o th er nations, would m i g ra te here Millions of them are clam oring for an opportunity to get to America As far as national resources are concerned, they are as far forw ard as we are. but unable to develop them because of one form o r an o th er of absolutism . If they could adopt American dem ocracy, they could be prosperous as well as we. May (kxl continue to bless Am erica, for it is a blessing to m ankind. E. C. H. T he Chetco IV velopm ent proposes the construction of a je tty a t the m outh of the river and the dredging of the basin to a depth of from 12 to 15 feet of w ater at low tide. The benefits to Brookings anil H arbor arising out of this de velopm ent have been expressed to the Pilot as follows: An all-year en tran ce from the ocean into the Chetco Basin would be provided This basin would extend from the m outh of th e river approxim ately to Tide Rock A safe, adequate and calm w a te r anchorage would thus be p resid ed for a large num ber of sm all craft. Such an anchorage would entice alm ost all of the fishing fleet now operating between E ureka and Coos Bay. Most of this fleet would m ake the Chetco Basin its home port. Canneries, warehouses and docks would be erected on the the south bank of the basin to serve the fishing industry. O ther industries, opertaed in connection w ith the fishing industry, would move into this area. Many of the owners of these fishing boats would build their homes in this area. In fact, several of these boat owners are living here now. All of this w’ould mean th at th ere would come to Brookings and H arbor a great new industry. It would mean more employ m ent, more business and the expenditure of a large sum of money. This would be new money to the area, money th at is not being spent here now. It would be to our m utual benefit. Everybody living here would share in this potential prosperity. The Chetco Development could m ake this area the most pros perous and populated area on the Pacific Coast, north of E ureka. But this project does not end here. There are other advan tages to be secured from this development. The Pilot shall dis cuss these other advantages in la te r issues. Does a substantial m ajority of the people who live in Brook ings and H arbor desire th at the je tty be built and the Chetco Basin developed? The Pilot would like to know’ the opinions, pro and con, of the residents of S outhern C urry County on the pro posed Chetco Development. This is everybody’s business. L et’s have some public discus sion. W rite to the Pilot and express your sentim ents. The Pilot will publish all of the letters so received. In your lette rs please stick to the subject, do not indulge in personalities and sign the letter. E. F. A. The election is over. The Am erican people have cast their ballots. We have m ade our decision. We no longer stand inept, dilatory and stupid at the crossroads. Now we are on the m arch. To accomplish this we had to say “No” to the cherished hopes of a g rea t American. Adlai E. Stevenson is a great and gallant leader. It is to be regretted th at he could not have used his talen ts in a b e tte r cause. He carried with him, on his back, the Com m unists and fellow’ travellers and pinks who had infiltrated into our governm ent and w ere selling us out to the Russians. In his train w ere the five per centers and the thieves who were robbing us. And, as if this burden w ere not enough, he had H arry T rum an stru ttin g about on his w histle stops and implying th at Stevenson was T rum an's boy. As we have previously w ritten we again renew our question: "How stupid can politicians g e t? ” When Com m unists and Com m unist sym pathizers are called red herrings instead of red tr a it ors by our President, when this m otley a rra y is placed in control of high places in our governm ent, when Russia shoots down our peaceful airplanes and, with im punity, imprisons our citizens, dot's any hum an being in his right mind believe that, we are going to take it lying down? If today, in America or in the world, such a belief is prevalent let those who so believe consider the results of our November 4. 1952, election. Let the ty ra n ts and dictators, abroad upon this ea rth today, read of w hat has happened in the past to those ty ra n ts and dictators who have attem pted to enslave America. To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln. “You can’t fool us all the tim e.” America once again has vehem ently declared to all who will listen that the G reat E m ancipator was right. Before ninety days have passe,! Dwight D. Eisenhow er shall have been sworn in and e n te r upon his duties as our new’ P re si dent. Once again there comes up from among us a great A m er ican to lead us out of our adversity. Once again, in the m om ent of our peril, we have chosen a great leader to guide us. Ike Isenhow er shall be confronted w ith an awful responsi bility. His fellow citizens, by a great m ajority, have named him as the hum an instrum ent to bring about the accom plishment of their hopes and demands. And w hat does America ask of the Republican party and of Ike. its leader? America says. "No m ore appeasem ent of Rus s i a ” America declares. "Speedily end the Korean w ar w ith a victory for our American aim s.” America commands, “Kick the Com m unists and fellow travelers and pinks out of our govern m ent.” America proclaims. "P u t the thieves in prison and clean up our house.” America requests, "End the awful w aste of our resources and our w ealth which for the past four years has threaten,',! to impoverish us.” In the accom plishment of all of this America shall become im patient if there is any evidence of delay. Thus America has spoken, clearly, definitely and inex orably. When Adlai Stevenson, on election eve, sent his m essage of congratulation to Ike Eisenhower, he came to what was his finest m om ent. He said, in effect, th at even though we m ight be divided in our political beliefs we are all Americans and, in the dedication of ourselves and our saccred honor to the perpetuation of w hat we believe in and w hat we stand for, we, all of us. stand shoulder to shoulder in unbroken ranks. N inety years ago. alm ost to the day, America proclaimed that this country could not exist half slave and half free. To m ake America free our ancestors paid an awful price It has been given to us, we who have inherited th at freedom th at our forefathers paid for, to say to the world. "We can not exist half slave and half free.” And we do not intend to become slaves. If. once again, it shall become necessary for us to pay the price of hum an freedom on this earth we hum bly bow our heads before our God and pray to Him th at He shall sustain us as we pay the costs Thursday, November 6, 1952 Lodge Directory Satellite C hapter No. 165, O rder of E astern S tar, m eets on the first and third Tuesdays of each m onth it the I.
