A Lost Cause Already?
In scanning recent issws of papers throughout
the state we've noticed what might possibly be
the indication of a rather Reneral feeling among
political observers and writers that already the
Republican cause eitlw Is, or may soon be a lost
one as far as top national politics are concerned.
Maybe it's just the way things look right at
the moment, that is causing all the pessimistic
comments as to the OOP's prospects, and we have
a rca.-ifiii.-.bly firm belief that it is still too early to
fortoll with any accuracy what will happen this
summer and fall, though we do know there are
plenty of good Republicans who are beginning to
have grave doubts as to the possibility of a party
victory.
One statement of this feeling is shown in an
editorial from The Dalles Optimist where Marquis
Childs, well known Washington columnist is quot
ed. "Said Childs: "As for Taft, he seems with
every day that goes by to embrace more closely
the old-line Republicanism of those who believe
that you can't say anything bad enough about the
administration and its foreign policy, including
the charge of wholesale treason which is what the
McCarthy attack amounts to.
"These Republicans may be able to nominate
the senator from Ohio. But whether they can elect
him to the presidency is another matter."
The LaGrande Eastern Oregon Review comes
up with the same feeling in a recent editorial
which discussed the entire Republican presiden
tial slate and then concluded with the following:
"With McArthur, supposedly in the Taft camp,
proposing an all-out war against red China and
Taffs isolationist views, it is difficult to determine
just what the nation would do were the Ohio sena
tor successful this summer and fall. We hardly be
lieve that the rank and file of the people in this
nation are willing to accept the fact that the Uni
ted Nations is a flop and that it should be buried.
The League of Nations was killed by an unfavor
able action of our law makers and left the aggres
sors of the world a free hand to ravage the weaker
nations. Our people, we think, are not willing to
see that performance reenacted.
"Our personal opinion is that of the declared
candidates, within the GOP orbit, Gov. Warren of
California offers the most hope but we question his
ability to make much of a showing in the conven.
tion this summer.
"Our guess is that Taft will be the nominee
and that come next November he will be defeated
by whatever candidate the Democratic party places
in the field."
It is a well known fact that in politics the out
look can change almost over night, and there are
plenty of things that could happen to influence
the thinking of the public. With President Tru
man's .res'ige at the lowest ebb of his career, it
would apix-ar on the surface that the Republicans
should have a fi.s.t class chance for a victory if
they observed a few of the simple rules of what we
might call "Gentleman Politics." Are they going
to throw this chance away too? Overconfidence
helped give the Democrats a victory last time, will
"dirty politics" and bickering do it again?
Another paragraph from the editorial which
quoted Marquis Childs issues a warning, " . . . .
if the Republicans in 1952 are to gain and hold the
respect and confidence of good American citizens,
they must have no truck with demagogery, and
those who traffic in malicious charges."
We go along with the LaGrande editor in
his belief thaf if Taft is nominated, he will lose
to the Democrats, but we still feel that, as things
look at the moment, the only Republican who has
shown interest in the president's job so far, who
has a chance to win is Eisenhower.
BETTER DIET FOR CONVICTS
Well-fed men do more work.
Southern slave owners knew
that.
State officials have just found
it out.
Admitting that the present food
ration, with a calorie content of
2.400 to 2.500 daily, for Inmates of
the Oregon State Penitentiary is
sound, Warden O'Malley recom
mended that the stale board of
control allow him to provide a
better diet.
The board Instructed O'Malley
to prepare estimates of the exact
funds needed and submit them to
the emergency board.
O'Malley said the slate wards
produce more than one-third of
the food they consume. The pri
son last year produced $213,059
worth of fond and canned food
valued at $55,0(10. This year a
freezing plant will lie added to
the processing department and
the value of the food processed is
expected to reach $100,000.
"An inmate's fond costs on the
average of 274 cents a day w hich
is l'-j cents higher than the aver
age cost in Rl.'iti. The cost of food
produced by the convicts is not
included in these figures.
ASSAIL PARIMUTUEL BETS
A constitutional amendment to
end Oregon's state-operated pari
niutuel horse and dog racing was
endorsed by the Oregon Council
of Churches meeting in the capi
tal this week.
The Council voted to sponsor an
Initiative measure classifying the
pari-mutuel system of betting
with loteries and other illegal
gambling.
John Merrifield, a member of
the executive committee of the
United Churchmen told the Coun
cil, "Americans have done things
bigger than anyone else but have
not used the same talents in the
church."
"Ernest Peterson, a religious
editor, who recently returned
from a trip through Europe said,
"The best answer to communism
Is a verlile church ... we need to
bolster our faith that this still is
God's world and will remain so."
Speaking about the devastated
people of Europe he said, "If we
pull out of Europe and let these
people get hungry, they'll walk
towards a bowl of soup, even If
It's held by a Red."
HEALTHY STATE
Public health in Oregon re
mained at a very high level dur
ing 1951, according to a report
of the State Board of Health just
released.
Although the total number of
communicable disease cases was
somewhat higher than for the
previous year, the increase was
due to epidemic incidence of in
fluenza and measles, both disea
ses tending to run in cycles with
years of unusually high cases.
The number of cases of polio
myelitis dropped sharply from
the very high of the previous
year, 300 cases being reported as
compared with 520 last year. In
complete returns indicate that
the percent of fatilities will be
about 3.3 compared with 5.1 in
1950.
ADVERTISING WEEK
Importance of advertising and
the part it has played in the life
of the nation and its people was
emphasized this week by Gover
nor Douglas McKay in designat
ing February 17-23 as Advertising
Recognition Week.
The governor's statement:
"1 believe we can all agree that
there is one basic principle that
distinguishes us Americans from
other people. It is a belief in the
freedom to have ideas, to use
ideas, to accept or reject ideas.
"It is the wide open competi
tion of ideas in this country which
is the key to success of the world's
newest and most successful form
of government and way of life.
POLITICAL JERKS AND STARTS
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's
name will not appear on the
democratic primary ballot in Ore
gon as Sen. Tom Mahoney who
filed petitions to place it there
has asked that it be withdrawn
following what is thought to be
the General's request.
Already two republicans and a
democrat have filed in the 22nd
legislative district (Gilliam, Mor
row, Sherman, Wheeler) counties
where Giles French has stepped
up from nine-sessions of service
in the house to run for congress.
The republicans are J. P. Stiewer,
Fossil and Chas. A. Tom, Rufus.
The democrat, Robert E. Smith,
Condon. Then there is Henry
Peterson to hear from with five
sessions to his credit.
Rep. Lloyd Crosby, Milwaukie,
has filed for the unexpired two
year term in the senate, vacated
by the death of Senator Manley J.
Wilson.
Lowell Paget plans to use 4
cent stamps on all mail leaving
his Taft-for-President office,
(stamp has a fine portrait of Wil
liom Howard Taft, former presi
dent and father of presidential
candidate Senator Robert A. Taft.)

KNOW THE CAR YOU DRIVE
Behind th wheel of a new
or strange car, even a careful
driver can be a menace, says the
AAA driver training book,
"Sportsmanlike Driving."
Workers make errors with
new machines. So do drivers
with strange cars.
An unfamiliar automobile can
Interfere with your old driving
habits. Strange gadgets may
confuse you.
Your driving habits were
built around the mechanical set
up of your own old car. This is
especially true of motor skill
habits. Your muscles learned
through practice just what
force, direction, and time you
need to reach and use your
brakes, clutch, and gadgets.
With a new or strange car, the
same force, direction, and tim
ing can be all wrong. The car
goes haywire. In a split second,
you cause an accident!
Be extra careful when you
drive an unfamiliar car. Don't
let your old habits fool you.
You have something new to
learn.
Be alert. You and your new
car can cause an accident. Get
acquainted slowly with that
brand new carl
feind; vice president, Judy How
ton; secretary, LaVelle Speelman;
news reporter, all memers of the
club.
It was decided that we keep the
same name for our club, The
Stitcherettes.
The lone Stitcherettes met on
Saturday, January 26, in the
school lunchroom. At this meet
ing we cut out our garments. Mrs.
Maude Caswell met with us to
help fit a suit for Elise Baueren
feind, who Is taking clothing V.
Mrs. McCabe gave a demon
stration on stay-stitching.
All members were present and
all were interestingly working on
some part of their clothing pro
ject. Janet Howton was well
along on her remodeled garment.
Grace McCabe and LaVelle Speel
man cut out dresses by attractive
patterns and Dorothy Dobyns was
working on some fascinating pajamas.
"SEW IT'S FUN"
The "Sew It's Fun" sewing club
met at the home of Mrs. Anderegg
Wednesday, February 6, 1952.
We are starting to make pin
cushions that you can wear on
your wrist. We will stuff them
with pieces of old material. Each
girl brought her sample of three
buttons sewed on a piece of cloth.
Next meeting we are going to
start our head scarfs. Mrs.
Califf was a visitor at our meet
ing. The following members were
present: Walda Thompson, Bar
bara Anderegg, LaDean Risley,
Wanda Hug, Lorelie Hamilton,
Karen Califf, Edna Goffman,

4-H Club members who exhibit
