What Is the Cop Attitude?

How much more appropriate to ask,
What Is the attitude Of the Republi-
cans on the subject? Today that
party is in absolute control of all
branches of the government. with
printed In black and white in the
record a pledge to go into the league
OF nations. Tho most absolute of all
the recorded pledges on the subject
is the one signed by thirty-one Of the
most eminent Republicans in the
country, printed all over the land just
before the election OF Mr.. Harding,
telling the people that the proper way
to get into a league of nations was by
electing Mr.. Harding to the presiden-
cy. Among the s!gners were Secre-
tary of State Hughes, Secretary Hoov,
er, ex-Secretary Root and former
President Taft. Can anyone believe
that this statement was sent broadcast
without fullest consultation with Mr.
! Harding and the highest officials of
| the Republican national committee? :?
| 1t Is the recollection of this writer
that Senator Medill Mccormick him
self was one of the immortal thirty
one. Any reasonable man would take
the position that that pledge is bind
| ing on the president and his party.
move toward carrying It into effect.
! This raises the question of sincerity.
! There were many who at the time OF
its utterance believed 1t was merely a
political fake for the purpose of hold
ing within the Republican party that
host of Republicans who had enrolled
for the league under the leadership
OF Hamilton Holt. 1t was another OF
the many bats the Republican party
had used to catch gudgeons-and II
caught a great many. II 1t did not
meet with the presidents approval
he had a strange way of showing his
displeasure. He put Hughes and
Hoover In the cabinet and Taft on the
supreme bench.
What About League OF Nalons7
But after the president had gotten
his seat warm what did he have tc
say about the league OF nations, fol
which he had voted with reservations
when a senator? In his message ht
referred to the Administrations atti
tude as rejecting the league covenant
and uttering that rejection to our owl
people and to the world" Thus thu
president kept the pledge given fol
him over the signatures of thirty-on'
OF the most eminent Republicans IL
the land. II the president was sincere
in the language quoted from his ad
dress to congress, what was he wheI
he consented 10 the publication OF tn,
statement from the eminent thirty
one7 And II they were sincere, VIII!
are they all so quiet and agreeable 4
the presidents rejection Of tn
league7 They do not howl in protes
because the president has put them Il
the position Of being false prophet
and fake promisers.
II comes with very bad taste 70

Flood Menace First Concern

San Francisco.-The primary need
In development of Colorado river pro-
jects is flood control to protect the
residents and lands of the Imperial
valley of California, Herbert Hoover,
secretary of commerce and chairman
Of the Colorado river commission, de-
clared in an address at luncheon of
the San Francisco chamber Of COM
MERGE. In the past two years, he
said, the Imperial valley has been
saved from destruction only by mar
row margin and the menace from flood
waters still is great. Describing the
Colorado river as the greatest single
un,leveloped resource in America
Wednesday. Mr.. Hoover predicted
that the rivers full development would
add 100000 population to the hin
terland of California and would open
an agricultural area the size of the
state Of Maryland. Secretly Hoover
reiterted that industry must take a
Place secondary to agriculture reaping
the benefits from the Colorado.

FIRE DESTR0YES
CANNING PLANT
LOSS OF VAN ALIEN CORPORA.
At OGDEN ESTIMATED AT
MORE THAN $4,000
Fire Which Breaks Out In Early Eve.
ming Requires Service Of All Fire
Fighting Equipment Of the
City Trouehout Night

Ogden.-Losses in q fire which des-
troyed the large canning 70 ctory and
warehouse of the Can Allen Canning
corporation on West Twenty-first
street Wednesday night. was estimated
at $150.OO0 to 100000.
The fire broke out at G 80 o'clock IN
the evening and all the fire fighting
equipment Of the city was pressed into
service. At IL o'clock the fire had
eight streams of water still playing
upon the structure.
Gage B. Rodman, president of the
Van Allen company, said that he would
be unable to estimate the loss and
probably would not be able to deter
mine anywhere the loss until after a
survey Of the property. He said the
new warehouse, which also was des-
troyed. was packed full Of canned to-
matnas, peas, catsup and canned fruits
OF this seasons pack. He added that
this would be total loss. Only q
small portion Of the product is said to
have been covered by insurance.
A survey of that portion of the
structure made showed that the brick
office was intact and small portion
OF the canning machinery near the Of
flee was partially injured, but the can.
ming machinery on the second floor,
and the old and new warehouses were
burned, with only the charred walls
remaining. 1t is believed that less
than 1000 cases of the several thou
sand cases of canned goods will be
salavged.
The fire was discovered in the north
west corner of the building, when
little smoke was seen arising from the
roof. Within less than ten minutes
the fire had broken through the roof
and the flames shot into the air a dis
lance of about 100 feet. Almost in
stantly the flames spread over the
two warehouses, but were prevented
from reaching the main floor of the
canning department, or office. I'M
nediately upon the arrival of the de-
partment, Fire Chief George A. Graves
called in the day platoon men and
the equipment from station No. 3, as
well as using all available equipment
In the Central station, the new fire
hydrant which was installed ut the
corner Of Reeves avenue and Twenty
first street was pressed into service
and the large pumper was used to
add force to the stream.
In addition to the loss of canned
goods and the building, the new ware
house contained several dollars worth
of furniture belonging to Thomas
Keogh and mother. Alex M. Daggett,
Gage Rodman and others.

There are dozens Of different styles and ~
terias from which to choose.
THE TITANIC.

THE TITANIC.
Within the dungeon OF the deep.
There sleeps the queen OF all the seas
Who swung assurance at the sweep
OF ghostly peril on the breeze.
And dared the elements to ply
Their angered forces at her head
That she might battle and defy
And 10 one battle left her dsadi
With all the gracss Of a court
She slipped the tethers of the tide
And glided far from out the port
That bound her power and her pride,
And with the promise Of her youth
And all the future in her sway.
She strobe in triumph over truth
And tossed the danger with the sprayi
Within. her heart was great and gay.
Without, her sinews stretched in length,
The very heavens seemed to play
Beside the pulses of her strength
And through the day and through the nixht
OF billowed pleasure undi1mayed,
Her throb Of fervor set to flight
The toll Of fear. and fear obeyed
Peaeei While the even waters glide
By quiet stsrs from night to day;
Peace While the measured horvs stride
In swift descent upon their prey:
And there in shrouded silence steals
The stealthy espion Of the sea,
Whose frozen mask afar eonceals
The dark decree Of destiny.
Peaeei While the miracle Of man
Yet flies her flag in majesty:
Peace! While she breathes her final span
Serene unto eternity:
And then-the muffied knell Of doom.
The fash Of fate. the riven rod.
nj, h. 80
And last-the very touch Of Godi
A thousand lives embosomed are
Beneath the wonders Of the wave,
A thousand spirits vanished far
Beyond the waters Of the grave;
And sunken In that solemn keep.
The carcass Of vessel vast.
Where only the weeds and fishes creep
Among the portfolios Of the pasti
No marble monolth may mark.
Brave sons the trace, Of your doom.
Where but the caverns of the shark
Return the echoes of the tomb,
And but broken bulk of steel
Crushed in the seas eternal bed,
Shall tell the distant ages still
Where tender homage may b. led.
And yet. about that shattered shell
Whose glory crumbled in ar hour
The waves may wind a coral spell
And weave poem into power,
Until the heaving depths of slime
And clinging beauties Of the deep
Shall hold monument sublime
Unto your ceremented sleep.
And here. since every sorrow swings
Some note of beauty on the tide,
And not dark despair but brings
feeble glimmer to abide,
Bereaved, benumbed, all hearts may fold
About the courage of the dead.
And honor strength that died enrolled
To yield the weaker. life instead.
And while the winds and waters merge
In mournful requiem of sigh,.
And chant great eternal dirge
OF far regret unto the skies,
The wave of all the ages still
Shall sweep the reef Of m mory,
And yearning breakers curve and thrill
In music of your eulogyi

 The White House has been opened to the people and approach to the president has not been hindered, Mir. Coolidge said. Communication be- tween congress and the president has likewise been open, frank and inclu- sive, he added.
 If those who think the present con- gross is lacking in accomplishment should cease their criticism long enough to examine the record, Mir. Coolidge said, they would soon find they had been misinformed.
 Economies have made it possible, he said, to reduce government eXpen- 1ltures from an actual outlay of five and half billion for the past year to an estimated outlay of three and ] half billion for the coming year. This accomplishment, he added, has had remarkable beneficial effect, has made possible the passage of the revenue bill which for the first year t is in operation, he explained, will 'educe taxation by an estimated amount of about $500, ,oOo. The costs of transportation already had been greatly reduced, he asserted, md "the prosperity of the nation and of the business of the nation has been restored to the people,"
