New York City, N.Y., May 18 Back to the seething cosmo
polij. 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.

admit to something less than complete mfallability lor ms own
group and something more than complete ineptitude, criminality
and incapacity for the opposition.
One thing is sure, surh a revolutionary tactical change would
cause a Ereat sensation, and might bv its very unexpectedness and
novelty make a great hit with the rank and file. (On the other J
hand it might cause a casualty list in tne union league ciud, as
long as a Mohammedan's prayer).

Meanwhile the primary result in Pennsylvania is extremely
Interesting, coming as it does so soon after the defeat of Pepper in
Florida.
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

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.

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

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
