McNary was to choose one of the l>est men the state of Oregon has to send — to Washing- ton. It is especially valuable at this time when the state needs a man in the capital who known the details of lawmaking in the senate. Cordon does. He has been watch ing the process for about two sen atorial tern» alreay as attorney for the Oregon Lana Grant coun ties. Cordon is intelligent. He came up the hard way, obtained h » law degree by reading at home and with (friends in the profewion lead by himself to obtain an ed ucation that is .now superior to that of many who attended uni- verwitiea. He is a hard worker. The com bination of knowledge of the job at hand, intelligence and ability and desire to work makes him an ideal appointment. It is hard to fee how a better man could have l>een chosen. SneH might well be compliment ed for the appointment. He had three choices. He could have named a stooge who would have served the remainder of the year vith oat filing for the office, thus leaving that for Snell. He could br.ve rerigned and been appoint ee by Senator Steiwer who would have succeeded him. He chose the third means of filling the vacancy, one that put him* entirely out of the race for the senate this year. He has indicated that he con siders the United States senator- chip a serious matter and one not Ao be a mere personal politi cal aonoideration. He has also shown himself to b? a better man than the majority considered him in the week before the appoint- • ment. \ ' It is to be hoped that Senator Cordon will immediately file for election for tihe four year term and that the state will return him to that office and retain him in the committee appointments he will obtain. DEAN ERIC ALLEN Oregon men, soldiers and sail ors, are learning th at Oregon new spapers are among the best to be found anyplace- The man who has had the most to do with mak ing them the best died at Eu gene Sunday morning. He was Dean Eric Allen, who started and made famous the University of Oregon school of Journalism. At 64 he had a youthful desire to better previous records and 0 fatherly watchfullneoa over the hoys and girls who had received their training in his class rooms. He taught them ' to read before he taught them to write. He taught them to gather information Ixrfore th e / dispensed it. Few ti-achers have mad« so fine a rec- 01 d of successes of their students.

Marjorie Marvin reports tlie picking of buttercups, Dick Moi- gan is out with wim u nurses anu his s horses and a pkw , Elvin Barnum has spaded his garden, merchants are wash ing their windows, the doors of the bank stand open, Zella Ken- ney has raked her yard, business men have much important con versation in sunny places, frosty nights have given way to rainy enes. Maybe this is spring. Certainly the above indicators are usually infallible and are fair- ly complete. Yet, to be seen are many women puttering in the fiotver and Vegetable beds* br early gardeners boasting of the fi»*st radish to break the surface end greet the sun. The croak of the frog» is »till weak and hr,- itant like a radio announcer say- ing ‘‘Testing”, not bold and as- sared as a spring time frog should croak. It is time. Yea, spring has come to the county on much earlier dates. But so far this spring seems as phony as the winter. It is like a woman with her hat and coat on sitting down to decida whether to go out or not; like a poker player fooling with his chips before the bet or the lay- down; as one with his hand on the plow looking backward. Since last fall the weather has nev<r really taken ahold and been decisive about it. One might al most conclude the weather man was a politician in an election year, afraid to be either flesh or fowl or good red herring. It has taken a stand on nothing. Thia spring, so far, seems to be of the same stripe. And that is too bad, too, for spring * should be •glorious, and bright, and positive, throwing off the mantle of win- U i with a gesture of abandon.
