ELIMINATE PERSONALITIES

In less than three weeks from this
date both the national campaigns will
be in full swing, the national, very
naturally overshadowing that of the
state.
Just now it looks as if personalities
were going to overshadow issues, es-
pecially in the national ballot contest.
The papers are filled with insensate
rot about the whiskers or lack of hir-
suite appendages of the candidates,
the contour of their chins, the gen.
uineness or falsity of their molars are
lengthily discussed, their smiles are
carefully analysed, how they can
shake hands is matter of grave i'm
portance, their manner of jumping on
trains is illuminatingly portrayed,
their wives hats and gowns are deem
ed worthy of extensive comment and
whether or not they travel with maids
is heralded to a breathless and ex-
pectant public.
Things as inconsequential as the
old fashioned game of "tit-tat-
toe" fill columns of space until we
wonder if the high salaried reporters
are writing up a national political
campaign or chronicling the account
of meeting of an old ladies' sewing
circle.

THE STICK THAT STIRS TIKI
MELTING POT

America has been rightly styled tie
Melting Pot Of the Nations. A mighty
caldron into which is cast a heter,-
genous conglomeration of peoples,
kindreds and tongues and out of whicl
energies a great, composite popula
ton.
1t is a true Characterization and the
stick that stirs the melting pot is the
automobile.
New Orleans starts out in a car,
takes Wednesday dinner in st. Paul
and on Sunday goes to church in Win
nipeg, scattering southern geniality
and absorbing northern thrift all
along the route.
New York hops into benzine bug
gy and tours to San Francisco, and
incidentally learns that there is a
large portion of the United States ly-
ing west of the Allegheny mountains
and is immensely benefited by the
knowledge acquired.
The farmer boy works days hauling
cars out of miry stretch of road
and nights hauling water to keep it
miry, gets chummy with every cuss-
ing chauffeur he drags out of the
mud hole.
The automobile obliterates boun-
Diary lines; levels social distinctions;
wipes out caste; annihilates space;
and transforms remote communities
into adjacent neighborhoods and
amalgamates the Republic into one
great gasoline brotherhood.

1T CAN'T BE DONE

The Regular Editor of this illumin-
ating sheet, who is so busy running
for Chief Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives and raking in the shekels
from his lucrative business, that he
permits US to occasionally indite ed
itorial illusions, is forever and ever
lastingly insisting that our articles
are too long. He snarlingly informs
us that what we say in two columns
could be condensed in stickful.
Of course it could, but if we could
perform the feat we would not be
writing for the Herald. We would
be getting $4,000 a year like Arthur
J. Brisbane or Henry Watterson, as
editor of some great metropolitan
daily.
We wonder how long it will take
the world to learn that you can't Sc
cure roast beef man for soup-bone
salary. 1t can't be done.

realize that the contest is not between
Hughes and Wilson only in the indi-
rect way that they represent different
policies.
Practically everyone comedies that
both are able, conscientious, high
minded christian gentlemen; that
which ever is chosen to occupy the
most important position in all the
world he will give to his country's
service the best that is in him.
We believe, if we are to have a
Democratic president, which the Good
Lord forbid, nine-tenths of the Amer
lean people would prefer that Wood
row Wilson occupy the chair than any
other Democrat in the United States.
If we are to have a Republican
president and it is written in the stars
that we will, it is patent that an over
whelming majority of all the citi-
zens would prefer Hughes to any
other Republican that has been men
toned in the campaign.
Whiskers, chins, smiles, teeth, hats,
gowns and ladies' maids are silly, ex-
traneous issues created by buffle-
heads. Men of ordinary sense care
no more about them than they do
about the teething troubles of Micky
O'Flynn's baby. Such fol de rol is
diaper politics fit only for the feeble
minded.
Ever since the foundation of the
government one of the dominant par
ties has always espoused one policy
and the other another.
Why not drop some of the candi-
dates and discuss policies? Why not
eliminate the personalities and dis
cuss principles? Why not cut out the
idiotic chatter and talk sense?
The people care mighty little how
the candidates look or what their wiv-
es wear, but they are greatly interest
ed in knowing what they stand for
and what they propose to do.

ACTION AGAINST

Department of Justice Plans
to Prosecute John D. and
Others.

Washington, April 15.-Off,cials Of
the department of justice announced
this afteroon they are considering
Bringing criminal action against Joha
b.. Archbold and other Standard Oil
officials and direc tors.
1t was stated that the supreme
court dissolution dGcree in the stand
ard Oil trust" suit never was car
ried int; effect.
1T was pointed out that the action
was entirely civil one and because
it was not obeyed the department
feels it is Justified in bringing crimi-
nal action against the Standard Oil
official under the Sherman anti
trust law. An early decision is to be
reached in the matter. 1t was said
today. if the German and Mexican
situations had not been acute the
cabinet would have been asked to con-
slider the standard Oil case.
Officials are unanimous in the
belief that the Standard Oil company
is. responsible for the rise in gaso-
line prices. 1t was also announced
that the criminal indictments are ex-
pected to follow an investigation now
being conducted by the department r

BIG DUAL ROLE

Strength is ever the watchword with
William Fox when placing William
Farnum in photo-dramatic offering
and this watchword is particularly
emphasized in the present Hawaii
.theater program, "The Wonderful
Adventure" The plot is unique, one
man posing as another In his bust
ness and his home life. The man who
is replaced has fallen a victim to the
wiles OF a dancer and has become adj
dicted to a drug habit There are
times when he fears to face his wife
and child on account of his moral and
physical condition and there are
others when the call of the siren is
strong upon him.
A Westerner, vigorous and manly,
who In appearance proves to be the
of the wreck, crosses his
horizon and is induced, for a monetary
consideration. to play the part. The
stranger gathers up the strings of the
life Of the man he would represent,

he studies his characteristics and en-
deayors to actually live the life of
the other man and succeeds admir-
ably. =.
Eventually the hand of death is
laid on the wreck and the finale is
a great climax. Farnum essays both
parts and his work is admirable.
