A Pyrrhic Victory 1
The overwhelming victory of Senator C. Wayland
(Curly) Brooks in the Illinois Primary is hailed as a
crushing defeat for President Roosevelt.
In a sense it is. For Warren Wright, Brooks' oppo
nent, made the Roosevelt pro-war program, his main
issue, and was smothered in a landslide of over 5 to 1.
But even more the result is a defeat for the Repub
lican party.
For it clearly demonstrates, that as far as the great
state of Abraham Lincoln is concerned, an over
whelming majority of the Republicans in that state,
uphold the discredited policy of U. S. isolationism,
and the injection of political partisanship into the
present war.
Carve this piece of bologna, as you will, that is the
only answer that makes sense !
.
FOR while since Pearl Harbor "Curly" Brooks has
been doing what all other. Isolationists, including
the Chicago Tribune have been doing, hitting it up
for sanguinary slaughter and carnage, particularly as
far as the Japs are concerned, he is still as isola
tionist and anti-British at heart as he ever was, and
certainly there can be few literates in the great Illi
nois electorate, who went to the polls yesterday, not
entirely aware of the fact
In fact "Curly" has always been the Tribune's pet
and white-haired boy from the outset, taking an
eloquent and aggressive stand against the Roosevelt
administration, and voting against every prepared
ness and war measure presented lend-lease, enlarg
ing the army, the draft, securing bases in the Atlantic,
dispatching troops to Iceland and Ireland and what
have you.
CERTAINLY had there been any disposition within
the ranks of the Republican party in Illinois to
deplore such isolationism, or condemn the effort to
make political capital out of the strong passion of the
American people for peace, Brooks would have been
kicked out of public life, instead of being made the
G.O.P. nominee with a vote standing, at the present
writing, at nearly 500,000 to his opponent's 90,000 1
VES, it is a great victory for "Curly" and the Chi-
cago Tribune.
But unless the great state of Illinois is not only the
"sucker" but the "SLACKER" state, it spells certain
doom for Illinois Republicanism in November.
Sprague Versus Snell
. Fortunately there will be no such issue in the Re
publican Primary in this state next month.
The main contest will be between our present
Governor, Charles Sprague, and his Secretary of
State, Earl Snell.
We entirely agree with Governor Sprague's first
formal statement at Salem last night, as he fired the
opening gun of his campaign.
Said he:
"Secretary of State Earl Snell, my opponent, is a very
thorough gentleman. We have no personal animosities.
Times are such, however, I have honestly felt it my duty
to remain In the office if the voters so willed, because of the
war emergency organizations I have undertaken to set up
and because of my many contacts with the army, the navy
and federal officials."
The Governor is right.
Earl Snell IS a thorough gentleman, and a very
popular man. There is certainly no issue between
them as far as a vigorous prosecution of the war or
devotion to the welfare of Oregon are concerned.
IF there ever has been any validity, however, to the
well known dictum of Abraham Lincoln:
"I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude
that I am the best man in the country; but I am reminded in
this connection of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to
a companion once, that it was not best to swap horses when
crossing a stream. '
We say, if that familiar saying ever HAD any
validity and of course it has had, then certainly
it has very special application in the state of Oregon
at this time.
Modest and somewhat retiring we are quite sure
Governor Sprague does not regard himself as "the
best in the country" (or state) but,
In an emergency such as exists at present, we be
lieve the wisdom of NOT swapping horses, will ap
peal to all Republicans, at the coming Primary,
and all the people of the state, regardless of party
in November, as far as that is concerned.
"War of Survival?"
If, as reported from Washington, President Roose
velt has selected "War of Survival" as his choice for
first prize in his war slogan contest, then we trust he
will keep the decision to himself, and forget about it
In fact this jejune stunt from the outset, has ap
pealed to this department as undignified and in
decidedly poor taste.
The present world-wide conflict is in all proba
bility the greatest tragedy of ALL HUMAN HISTORY,--certainly
nothing to regard in the light of
just another sporting event, or a Palm Beach beauty
contest
Let history name this grim epic of human
suffering as history WILL, not the lads and lassies
at the President's press conference, bright as they
are.
MOREOVER "War of" Survival" in this depart
' niont's view is far from a happy choice.
SURVIVAL! we can survive, and still lose the war,
survive as a nation, with Germany in control of all
Europe, and Japan, master in the Pacific.
But what sort of an existence would that kind of
survival be? No, we don't know what the proper title
IS, but we do know what it ISN'T.
And a war of mere survival, is LN that list

Young man whose inquiry
concerning use of sedative
hypnotic (suggested In popular
book by a pro
fessor of psy
ch o 1 ogy) we
printed here
the other day
compl a i n e d
that he has
been a "chron
ic" introvert.

ally unioel
able" all his
life (28 years)
and has not "achieved the de
frce of expressiveness" he
would like to have, whatever
that means.
Except the detail of age, the
young man's description of hit
temperament would serve for
the Introvert who conducts this
column, and therefore I am
anxious to see whether any
thing Is to be done about It.
After all, folks, it is no crime
to be an Introvert. Vou know,
that worried me for many years.
I couldn't shake off the unpleas
ant feeling or Idea that some
how my Introversion made me a
kind of outcast or outsider, not
one of the party, a crank or
something. It gave me an inferi
ority complex. There, damn it,
I've slopped over into the vapid
psychological lingo. But we'll go
no further.
Just what is an introvert any
way? Well, without relapsing
into psychological blah let us
take Webster's definition a
person strongly Inclined to in
troversion. And introversion,
Webster explains, is "interest
directed inward; a propensity
for finding one's satisfaction In
the inner life of thought and
fancy."
I wish I knew how the young
man and thousands of other
young people of similar temper
ament could become as much an
extrovert as he and they believe
they would like to be.
Personally, having observed
and studied Introverts and ex
troverts under various circum
stances I am content to remain
an introvert, although I know
many extroverts who are appar
ently happy and cheerful about
their predicament, and withal
fine company and loyal friends.
Suppose we were all extro
verts. What a wretched affair a

fixed incomes are not getting
any of it.
There are supposed to be 40,-
000,000 workers in the country
and only around 8,000,000 or so
are in the dues-paying union
labor wage scale group, whose
income Is naturally greater from
the war effort. This is not an
exact distinction between those
who are making more now from
the war effort, and those whose
income has not been increased.

those directly working in war
production lines, while an unde

In all this direct and indirect
refrigeration, wages would be
chilled only by their proximity
to the freezing apparatus and
not by direct action.
By freezing prices, the Hend-erson-Eccles

therefore calculate that the wage
aspect would be eliminated.
They would supplement this ex

trade unions.

are being drawn by these argu

70 Common Items
Under WPB Ban

Forest Fund
: . By John W. st.llr
Washington, D. C, April 15.
Two oil companies with outlets
through thousands of service
stations in the northwest plan
discontinuance of the highway
maps they have been distribut
ing. This step is taken to con
serve paper and with the know
ledge that touring will rapidly
diminish in that area, especially
with gasoline rationing. The
road maps advertise, of course,
the particular gasoline. Later,
it is predicted, all gasoline will
be pooled and this is further
reason for not advertising the
gas. About the opening of deer
hunting season sportsmen may
look for a warning from the na
tional capital not to waste am
munition and shells. The crack
down may come earlier.
The American way of life Is
rapidly changing since Pearl
Harbor. Donald Nelson's war
production board ia doing its
best to impress this fact on the
people, that this nation is In a
war and that sacrifices must be
made. Within 60 days or less
there will be 70 items now of
everyday use under the ban and
their manufacture will not be
permitted until peace comes
again. These items range from
metal ash trays to weighing
machines and they include all
manner of electric devices from
waffle irons to toaster.
Without exception each of the
70 articles ts composed in part,
if not entirely, of metal. Ex
planation is that metals are more
essential for war work than for
civilian purposes, and war
comes first just as the army
was arguing (without effect) two
years ago in mapping out a ten
tative war program. By June
the radio manufacturers will be
up to their necks in war work;
there will be no more Venetian
blinds of metal but those of Port
Orford cedar will be permitted;
mixers, whippers and Juicers
which lessen the work of the
housewife will no longer t-
made, and this also goes for the
vacuum cleaner, vegetable bin,
clothes trees, plant and flower
supports, washing machines and
pressing irons. At first blush, it
would appear that the housewife
will be compelled to make the
greater sacrifices, for the con
traptions forbidden are largely
for domestic use.
To a large extent the building
of dwellings will be frozen, the
exceptions being the claptrap
domiciles thrown together to

THE situation is viewed philo-
nnhiMv hv W P Ft Kelson. I
Scores of factories which have
been producing the 70 items can
not adapt themselves to any
other endeavor and must fall by
the wayside. Mr. Nelson says
these are the casualties of war
and he only hopes that there
will not be too many. Such
small plants as can be converted
to war work will, eventually, re
ceive orders. Uncle Sam is
moving rapidly as he can to gear
up for the greatest productive
effort in the world's history; he
has accomplished more in four
months than Britain did in the
first year. The automobile fac
tories are producing tanks or
airplane enginet; autot and tires
for the general public are things
of the past; comes now a long
list of conveniences which can
not be made after April, others
in May. Around the corner is
another ukase which will deal
with the use of steel. Mr. Nel
son admits that the orders of
WPB will have a profound ef
fect upon the whole economy.

REALIZING what a forest fire
means, people on the west coast
poured in so many letters and
telegrams that the senate appro

sum of mone. The pleas came
from Aberdeen, Spokane, Seat

Portland, Salem, Eugene, Ore.,
and several California communi
ties. Owners of timber, saw
mills, plywood plants united in
stressing the urgency for forest
fire protection in wires to Sena

by Senators Bone and Wallgren
of Washington, Senator McNary
of Oregon, and Senator Thomas
of Idaho, and a long list of of

the interior department.
