why NOT AN ISSUE?

Several Of the Republican leaders
have announced that, in their opinion
the league of nations should not be
an issue in a political campaign.
Why it should not, we confess we
see no reason beyond that Of political
expediency.
To our mind it appears that in a
democratic government the only way
to ascertain the will Of the people is
to have them pass on any question
that affects them through the ballot,
and the use Of the ballot can be ap-
piled successfully only to party ques-
tons 1t would indeed be both futile
and disastrous to submit issues Of
public policy to referendum Of votes
because such a course would lead to
a wilderness Of primaries, involving
such vast expense the government
would soon be bankrupt, outside the
fact that no one would have the right
to determine just what should be
submitted to a referendum and what
should be handled directly by our
representatives.
To suggest such departure from
our established customs would be a
more radical and complete abandon
ments Of our form of government
than that contemplated by the en-
dorsement Of the league Of nations.
The document brought back from
Europe by Mr.. Wilson is and can be
nothing else than political ques-
tiOn.
Whether we shall continue as an
isolated people and selfishly take re-
sponsibility only for those who are
our actual citizens, or adopt the
broader view that humanity is only
one great family, and as its members
we should advise and direct in all
that concerns the welfare of that
family, remains for the people who
constitute this great republic to de-
termine. and whether they will or
not the two great parties must take
their stand and succeed or fail at the
option of the suffragists of this
country.
It seems that the Republicans are
hearing from the people and are
afraid that the ideals for which we
fought in the great war are not dead
and that the flesh pots, Of which the
Republicans have been dreaming, are
becoming more and more an unrealiz-
able mirage.

SAN DIEGO AND
CORONADO HAVE
NEWER FACILITIES

Of interest to all visitors to
southern California is the improved
transportation facilities between
San Diego ard Coronado now avail
able. through the acquisition of
new and much larger ferry steamer
to the fleet of boats operating be-
tween those cities.
The ferry steamer "Morena" ar
rived under her own power from
Wilmington, Calf, last week and
will be in continuous service In
conjunction with the other boats
all winter. This ferry boat cost the
San Diego and Coronado Ferry
company upward of 100000. 1t
has a capacity for about 500 pas
sengers on the upper deck and
space on the main deck for be-
tween forty-fiVe and fifty automo-
biles.
A feature of the new boat is the
fact that quick handling of auto
mobiles will be insured by loading
and unloading machines two at a
time instead of singly, as Ii the
custom on ferry steamers with even
greater automobile space than has
| The Moreno"
Hunt, Mirk & Co. of San
Francisco had complete charge of
the construction of the ferry
steamer, the construction of the
hun being awarded by Thomas
Mirk, president of Hunt. Mirk &
Co, to the Ralph ]. Chandler
Shipbuilding company, Whining
ton, Calf.
The improved transportation ia
cilities are expected not only to be
great convenience. to residents
and visitors at Coronado and San
| Diego but also to touring parties
who generally prefer to take one
portion of the trip to Tijuana. Old
Mexico, via Coronado and the Sill
yer Strand route.
Although strikes and shortages
of material prevented the compile
| ton of the Moreno" in time for the
throngs of daily visitors at Coro-
| nauo Tent City this summer. con-
siderable satisfaction is espresso
that the boat is now in service in
ample time to accommodate the
! crowds of pleasure seekers of the
winter from the north and east.
