OOINO UP
Why don't more people get up thii time of year with the
tin! It's the most stimulating and beautiful time of the day,
and close to the most beautiful time of the year! The answer
probablv is, they don't HAVE to.
Well we had to, to reach Salem in time for the McNary
luncheon, and as far aa that goes, were glad more people haven't
the habit. For one of the great charms of the very early morn
ing ii the peace and quiet all about you. The outstanding ad
vantage from a motoring standpoint, moreover, is the absence
of ears.
Left Medfnrd at 20 to 6 and never met a ear until we hit
the bend at Rogue Iiiver. And then only one, all the way to
the Pass.
Nice looking eowa and calves in the dewey fields along the
way, quietly grazing. We know only a few people who would
like to do that, start eating with the sunrise and keep it up
steadily until sunset, (Only one, in fact. And probably after
eating steadily for three hours even he would have to quit.)
Unlike the present atate of the world the Pacific Highway
ia slowly but surely getting better and better. A decided im
provement just this side of Grants Pass, with the old right-angled
curve and narrow highway taken out. Wonder how long
it will be before the Highway Commission will pay some atten
tion to the antiquated and dangerous section from Central
Point to Savage Rapids!
They are making a similar improvement entering Cottage
Grove, sending the highway straight through instead of around
the block. And perhaps Drain will be next.
Sometime, oh probably about the close of Wendell Willkie'g
second term (he will of course observe the tradition against a
third one!) there will be a uniformly modern highway all the
way from Ashland to Oregon City.
A big banner across the Highway as one motors into Salem
reads "This is the home of Senator Charles L. McN'ary, candi
date for Vice-President on the Republican ticket!"
The banner must have been up for some time, for it is dirty
and bedraggled, badly in need of a wash. The fields and
orchards around about are in a similar state, Salem must have
been the victim of a drought. (How about that irrigation sys
tem for the Willamette?)
Made better time than expected, walked into the new
capitol building at 11:20 a. m. to procure a duplicate driver's
license. Some night prowler on the Michigan Central betweeu
Ituffalo and New York liked the looks of ourn so well he
KEPT it!
"Fir Cone," Senator McN'ary 'g ranch home, is nearer Salem
than we expected, only a few minutes' drive at a leisurely pace
on the Newberg road. We expected more banners and even a
few peanut and pink lemonade stands perhaps, but only a lone
state policeman at the entrance marked it off from all the rest.
that and rather a better kept orchard, with the soil between the
filbert trees a uniform gray granulated, weedlcss mulch.
No imposing iron gntes or high privet hedges covering
barbed wire, as at the President's Hvde Tark summer place!
No dog AT ALL, in fact.
A heavily-tanned rnncli hand, with sleeves rolled up pointed
out a parking place under the trees in the orchard not far from
the house. We were enrly, only a few cars had arrived.
L'pon the sloping lawn to the bungalow, shaded by huge trees,
there were a few groups of men, engaged in that form of desul
tory conversation common to strangers who have time to kill
before the eating starts. There were several army officers
among them, in bright silver and freshup pressed khaki, also a
Catholic priest, no one we knew, so we strolled on down the
drive and back of the house where we tried to make friends
with Charlnttc'a "Shetland" pony who was busily munching
grass on the terrace.
Not much of a success. In fact, we were wondering if "horse
bites editor" wouldn't make the front page of the Oregonian
when a cheerfill greeting behind us caused us to turn and there
was Salem's "Charley Mac," coming off the side porch with
his usual smile, bow tie and extended mitt. Yes. it was just as
informal as that, from soup to nuts. In fnct, as far as we could
make out, there was no FORM to it. (By the way, whv are
Shetland ponies so uniformly crabbed and cross, is it the
pigmy complex!)
On the other side of the trout stream in another green, open
space under even larger and more stately trees, three long rows
of tables were set, and without any announcement, that we
could hear at least, the crowd of two or three hundred men
(with a few women sprinkled here and there) filed in, took
their seats and started to cut. Huge salmon bakej in a live coal
trench, equally huge baked potatoes, cold chicken and turkev
formed the piece de resistance.
There was one colored man in the group with a clever

This was a luncheon for the notification committee and the
press, but there were a few other notables, of course. several

If any daily newspaper lads from the great state of Oregon
failed to get in on tliis charming "al fresco" gathering, we
failed to note them. Editors (iroen of Ashland and Powell
of Central Point were on hand. and our own Herb Grey who
is on his annual vacation took time off from chauffeuring the
family, to break hrend with "Charley Mac."
There is one disadvantage in being a member of the press.

Raynaud waa wiping hia eyes aa the
crowd moved, on.
The second episode occurred on the
day of the last French appeal for
American aid a message addressed
by Reynaud to the president, which
has not yet been published. The
night before, after ths appeal had
been drafted, the premier had driven
into -Bordeaux to make a radio ad
dresa to the French people. He re
turned late to the chateau outside
the city, where he waa established
with the celebrated Comtesse De
Porte. The next morning Ambassador
to Poland Anthony J. Drexel Blddle.
then acting aa American representa
tive at Bordeaux, arrived at the cha
teau rather early to get the appeal.
Reynaud had to be waked to receive
him.
Reynaud, In hie dressing-gown,
greeted the Immaculate Blddle tn the
salon of the chateau. Tbe two men
talked for a few mlnutea of the des
perate state of affaire. Then Blddle
reminded Reynaud that facilities
were poor, and that it would take
aome time to get the appeal on the
wire for Washington. At the mention
of the appeal. Reynaud looked puz
zled for an Instant, said he could not
remember wnere he had left It; then
remarked that he believed the Com
tesse De Porte must have It. She was
sent for, and appeared In the salon,
still In pajamas, with the document
In her hand.
The Comtesse De Porto is dead,
killed In the same motor accident
from which Reynaud emerged a badly
Injured and a broken man. Neither
la any longer a significant figure.
Yet when a wise American heard the
two tale not long ago In Washing
ton, he remarked grimly, "those have
a moral for us. Like the French peo
ple, our peoplo are all right. And
while we do not have any Holene De
Portea In Washington, we have our
own disease of wishful thinking,
which poor Reynaud was certainly
not troubled by."
Indeed, what troubled Reynaud far
more than the Influence of the Com
tesse De Porte was a sort of political
paralysis which does also afflict
American leaders. After It began to
seem probable that the battle of
France was lost, he could do nothing
but make speeches and draft mean
ingless pleas for aid from the United
States. Although he was defense min
ister, war minister, foreign minister
and prime minister simultaneously,
he found himself unable to rally the
strength of France. He personally
wished to continue the war, removing
the government to Algeria If neces
sary, and at least protecting the Eng
lish flank in the Mediterranean. He
might have done ao. for although
there waa a narrow majority In the
cabinet against him. he had with him
President Albert Lebrun. Herrlot. the
speaker of the chamber of deputies
and the president of the senate. The
meana to escape existed, for Jean
Monnet. head of the Anglo-French
Joint economic warfare board, brought
the English clipper plane, the Clare,
to Bordeaux for the purpose.
But Reynaud let the Pctaln minis
try come In because he thought the
German armistice terms would be too
severe, that Prtain would fall, and
that he himself could return to
power with renewed support. It waa
a politician's Ulck. Unfortunately. In
such tlmrs ss these, even the smart
eat politicians' tricks no longer work.

the division of labor that has

to the nation as a whole.

Nary'a themes. He Is familiar
with them all. and in his 2:t
years in the senate he has had
a finger in them all rather an
important finger.
With Representative Haugen.
he was the author of the first
farm air legislation. Hindsight
tells us now that if the Mc.Nary
Haugen bill had been enacted
into law (instead of being twice
vetoed) American agriculture
would be better off today.

He knows the West.

Deal. llrNirv says:
-With one hand the Hew Deal
pars farmers not to sow and reap:
with the other It lowers tariff bar
riers so that foreign trope UNDER

McNary aaya that la unsound. If
you are a farmer, you know It Is
unsound.
Without eockaurely offering a sure
fire remedy, ha save: "The McNary
Haugen act was at least a system
enabling ua to export without Injur
ing the domestlo price level."
BY way of aummlng up. ha aays:
"During the seven New Deal

has averaged aeven billion dollars.
During the preceding aeven or Re

with Willkie. Is for full

Grand Coulee without recklessly de
straying private Investment.
This writer believed from the ,ftrst
that McNary waa the best choice the
Republican party could make for
vice-president, and Is even aurer of
It row.
AS to the campaign that la now
beginning In earnest. Governor
Stasaen of Minnesota, flying to Salem
to fcear the McNary acceptance
speech, says:
"Thla movement for Wendell Willkie
and Charles McNary la a CRUSADE,
not a political campaign. Everywhere
I find men and women stepping for

THAT, In this wrlter'a judgment,
TELLS THE STORY.
In thla movement for Wlllkte and

Penlea Roosevelt Reforms
To the Editor:
In your editorial yesterday,
"Want 4 More Years?" you do
a very good Job, so far as you
go. In listing the failures of the)
Roosevelt administration.
But you say "In the direction
of reform President Roosevelt
has accomplished wonders" etc.
We seem to remember that you
have stressed that same thought
several times, even since enlist
ing as Willkie supporter. But
your sweeping statements ara
vague, indefinite and general,
like the above. In that form
they must bring much comfort
to the Roosevelt camp, and not
a little assistance where the M.
T. has Influence. Please be more)
specific. Just what are those
wonderful and benificent "re
forms"? Was it the way he has re
formed the Supreme Court?
Was It his attempted purge of
those he disliked from congress?
Was it the vast increase of bur
eaus and bureaucrats? Maybe it
was the destruction of pigs,
sheep and cotton, and hiring;
the farmers (with borrowed
money) to NOT raise wheat, so
as to bring prosperity through
scarcity. Or you may refer to
the junking of all we had ever
learned about the wisdom of
saving, economy, thrift and bal-.
anced budgets and teaching us
to grow rich by borrowing and
spending. Possibly it was the
placing of a booze joint on
every street corner and two in
the middle. Or again it might
be that vast, complicated sys
tem of dole and relief by which
millions were transferred from
private to governmental em
ployment, so that feeding from
the New Deal hand, they would
not bite it. You see, if we have
been unconsciously receiving
such wonderful benefits from
the new rjeal, we ought to be
told just how, so that .we might
vote to continue the "status
quo".
We thought we had watched
the new deal program with
much interest and attention, yet
we seem to have been just too
blind and dumb to recognize
those "wonderful reforms". That
program has seemed to add up
to just one result, viz. MORE
POWER TO THE PRESIDENT.
Of course, we want to be fair
and "give the Devil his due"
etc. And If F.D.R. and his ir.
responsible "brain trust" has
really given this country such
wonderful reforms, some one
should "show" us.
But In the interest of the Will
kie campaign may we suggest
that you clearly identify those
"reforms" or quit bragging
about them.
N.B. REAL REFORM WILL
BEGIN WHEN WILLKIE AND
McNARY TAKE CHARGE.
