It i more difficult than ever to imagine that leu than 100 miles away li the Lake Mohonk Mountain House, stretching nos talgically alone the tranquil wooded shores of that little spring water lake teeming with trout; no automobiles, no airplanes, no motor cops, no music, or jazz or dancing, not even canasta: Just old ladies knitting on the sunny piazzas and old gentlemen, swing ing their putters rheumatically on the hotel pitch-and-putt course. "Out of this world" is an over-worked term these days, but it is the perfect one for this 83-year-old Quaker resort tucked away in the pastoral quietude of the Shawangunk hills, going Its way serenely complacently Just as it did a year or two after the Civil War. By the way, we wonder If Rip Van Winkle did not spend gome years there after he awakened, the Catskills are not far away. t In his final speech in Chicago President Truman defied his republican adversaries to come out and light, give him and his party some worth-while opposition, for two strong opposing parties would be good for the country, and in harmony with democratic principles and the time-honored American tradition. e We assume the challenge was accepted by Senator Robert Taft in his speech which was given the same three-way national broad cast as our chief-executive's, the night following the Utter s return. In that speech there was certainly plenty of opposition. We don't know whether it satisfied Harry or not. We not only listened over the air but read reports of the speech in the New York papers the next morning. Frankly, however, while it was reasonably clear what the senator from Ohio OPPOSED, everything that President Truman and his party have done, it was not so clear precisely WHAT Mr. Taft favors, except retention of the Taft-Hartley bill, and a repub lican congress. In fact Senator Taft is as wholeheartedly against the demo cratic party, ihe Fair Deal and all its works, as an equally plain spoken and forthright republican, a few years ago, was against sin. Nothing good or desirable has ever come out of the democratic party under its present leadership and nothing can. And the conclusion was equally obvious, elect a republican congress this year and a republican president two years hence and all will be well.

In spite of all the partisan alibis and political gohbledgobhle the plBin truth is the Pennsylvania result indicates a political trend EXACTLY THE REVERSE of that in Florida. In Florida the winner was a democrat who took up the GOP battlecry note, verse and chapter, swinging with both fists at all the New and Fair Deal principles, pleading for votes to turn back the threatening tide of Communism, Socialism and the Welfare State! In Pennsylvania the winner was a republican i PROGRES SIVE republican. who almost word for word took tip the DEMO CRATIC battle cry, ."Down with the reactionary GOP machine, the unprincipled and mercenary bosses, those who put property rights above human rights, and turn a deaf ear to the pleas of the underprivileged and the oppressed. Up with the enlightened and forward-looking welfare state of Pennsylvania," etc., etc.! The victory of the democratic "theme-song" in Pennsylvania was even more impressive and overwhelming than the victory of the republican theme-song in Florida. Which adds up to what? Just this: The present "state of the nation" politically is as confused and contradictory, as the political state of the world. The only certain thing about either Is the uncertainty. That Harvard rain maker has had to issue another public state ment denying he is in any way responsible for the prevailing New York weather. There were, ns before reported, only two or three really nice sunny days in April. the sunless record in fact, for 20 vearg was broken. Thus far In May there has been more sunshine hut not much. It rained yesterday and last night, is drizzling to day, while the prediction is for more warmth and moisture over the week-end. And still the reservoirs are only Bl) per cent mil where a year ago at this time they were full. The weather, like most things, is all mixed up. . , , . However, as lone as the Harvard weather man insists all his efforts at producing rain bv seeding the heavens above have failed, why doesn't he resign and let his $100 a day be turned over to Sea men's Relief.

Universal-International heard the call first. When they sent "Francis" around Germany, thev also sent along a flock of movie stars.

Perl - Frank Perl City Workeri To the Editor: It .seems a lot of people have taken a certain attitude towards men working for the city, particularly the pub lic works maintenance men. Now, as a rule, we fellows pro fess to be just as sociable and helpful as is possible. We have gone out of the way many a time to help certain people, although we are restricted to certain things. The contention is that the tax payer is not getting his or her money's worth. Well most people don't know what constitutes the building and' maintenance of a city. They see some men work ing on the streets, or other places, and never consider the labor expenditure. Now we are not trying to get in the limelight, although a little recognition would help, as far as the cooperative spirit is con cerned. In recent papers the mayor gave the amount of men working in other cities, comparing them to our own. This shows that we. with a skelton crew must surely have accomplished something. Maybe we don't work as hard as mill hands and other workers, but in comparison to wages, it is pretty well equalized. There are many emergencies which come up, and we meet them in any kind of weather, at all hours. Now if you give us a little rec ognition, you will find us a pretty good bunch of cooperat ors.

S. R. Hale. Jacksonville, Oregon Dead line en Classified Adst 5:30 p.m for following day. 10 a m Monday for Monday, noon Saturday for Sunday a m Welfare Plaint To the Editor: I read in your paper so many times where someone is always crying about the democrats making a welfare government in our nation and 1 can't help but wonder why any Oregoniani, especially the repub licans, could criticize our nation al government for doing what they so proudly boast of. They refuse to pay or claim to pay an old age pension and tell the majority of the voters in the state that they are silly and don't know what they are doing when they vote in an old age pension to pay S50 per month. They tell us that that would break the state. At the same time under what they call the "welfare state, ' there are some of our so called ! old folks getting as high as S80 , or S90 a month depending (as I j understand) where they spend it, i while there are others that get S40 or $50 a month. I would like I for some one to tell me w h y I there should be any difference in old age. If one person over 65 years of age gets S80 per month, why don't all old people over 65 gel 580 per month. If you can answer that maybe you can tell me why my dad and mother can't get any welfare money at all. Dad is 86 years old and moth er is 89 and have no income only what their sons can help them. They haven't got a son that has any income only as he works with his physical limbs to get it and believe it or not it won't be too long 'till their sons will be pin to apply for old age welfare (I say welfare because that is In troduc tory Offer They Last Longer New Nylon Lace (mesh) Hudson No-Seam Hose 88cPair Regularly $1.00 3 pair for $249 Save 51c on 3 pair!
