CANDIDATE FOR
CORONER HAS A
POLITICAL FAITH
Dr.. ". e. Lyons Before People
on q Pledge 10 Conduct the
office On q Basis of
Economy

What would you tnlnK ABOUT
a candidate for Coroner having
a platform? ?"
The ordinary person thinks
Of the duties of Coroner as per-
functory-that it is not possible
to be good Coroner or a bad
Coroner, but merely a Coroner.
The wayfarer conceives of the
duties of Coroner as being de-
fined, possible of being inter-
preted in one way and no other.
AS a matter Of fact, however,
there are policies in relation to
the Coroner's office in which
the people are very much inter-
ested. The things which he may
do, or leave undone, are of very
great Importance to the tax
payer and at times they may
have a bearing upon the per-
sonal convenience of any citi-
zen of the county.
For example, if there is a
case for the Coroner's attention
at inland and the body is
brought to Ell Centre it means
that all of the witnesses must
come from inland to Ell Centre.
not.merely losing their time but
also mourning all of the ex-
pense involved in making the
trip with no way of recovering
from the county. May J times
in the farmers busy season it
involves very great sacrifice
and expense for coroner's iur-
,ors and witnesses to do that
and the fact that in times past
they have been required to do
so has created a feeling of in
jury and resentment.
DR.. w. E. Lyons who is a
candidate for Coroner has a
platform. That platform is
that the convenience of people
is entitled to consideration by a
public official. DR.. Lyons de-
clares that the undertaker's
relation to the Coroner's office
is merely one of convenience
and economy. When there is
a case for the Coroner, the un-
dertaker to be summoned is
quite obviously the nearest one
and the place for the inquest
is on the spot where the tragedy
occurred. Thereby the time
and money and convenience of
everyone is conserved.
DR.. w. Z. Lyons is man of
the highest standing, not only
In his profession, but also as
business man and as citizen.
He is a successful physician
and a busy physician. but he
has found time to play a citi-
zen's part in the affairs of the
county.
DR.. Lyons is a rancher and
a heavy tax payer. AS a pro-
perty owner he is able to re-
spond sympatheticaIly to the
problems which are close to the
heart of the man who is max
ing Imperial Valley go and
who is paying the bills there
for.
Those who have brought DR..
Lyons into the race for the Cor
oner's office declare that it is
a privilege and a rare oppor-
tunity to enlist in the public
service a man of such high
principles and conscientious
standards of citizenship. He
applies these principles in the
every day relations of life, So
cially, professionally or in
business way. He may be ex-
pected to introduce them into
the public service as a matter
of course. Dr.. Lyons campaign
for the office of Coroner is be-
ing made by those who have
learned to have high regard
for him in other situations.
He is candidate for office
on the record Of what he has
been and IS.

Candidate for Sheriff

the prohibition law. Bootleg
gers need expect no comprom-

am elected Sheriff. The law of
the country has declared
against the liquor traffic. In
accepting office | deem it a
duty to enforce the law and
shall do so to the best of my
ability. In making this declara-

what has been a lifetime pol
icy. I have ALWAYS been for
the prohibition cause.
II am for economy in the
conduct of office. There should
be as much help as is needed to
administer the office and no
more. The people are entitled

that is to be my standard.
II make no campaign prom

pect me to be what I have been
and faithfully to carry out the
pledges which are made at this
time"
j. E. OLDHAM.
The foregoing is a platform
which was nailed to the mast
head by J. E. Oldham when he
announced himself as a candi-
date for sheriff and he has
never departed from it. Ed
Oldham adopted his declara-
ton Of official policy as a mat
ter of principle and he has
never waivered from it under
the pressure of expediency or
any political advantage that he
might gain by compromising
with those who may hold these
things in less high regard.
These are the things that Ed
Oldham is for. He is for them
as a candidate and he would be
for them as a sheriff because
they are the things. in which he
believes.
j. f. Oldham is a man of
long residence in Imperial
county. He has reputation
as a square shooter-as a man
who keeps his word and pays
his bills. He comes from old
Kentucky where they grow
sheriffs. Though he has a
record as a successful business
man, Ed wants to be sheriff
because the thing is born in
him. He is making a campaign
over the county and is reported
to be receiving very liberal
support and encouragement.
Notably, the law-abiding ele-
ment Of the county have taken
pains to signify their approval
of his course. The enemies of
John Barleycorn are reported
to be rallying to the support of
Mr.. Oldham and pinning their
faith to his platform and his
record for keeping his word
whenever he has pledged him.
self to thing. A very large
number believe that Ed will be
on the ticket and many declare
that he will be the next sher-
iff. Anyway, there is j. E.
Oldham's platform, and win or
lose, it will always remain the

Europe's Move First

The British Treasury has drawn
up new war debt cancellation plan
for discussion with the other Allied
governments in Europe. 1t suggests
an agreement between Great Britain
and France not to demand the pay
ment of war debts due them by the
other Allies unless the United States
requires payment and nothing sub
stantial is recoverable from Ger
many. AS to reparations, it contem-
plates fixing Germany's debt at
10,000,000,000 gold marks, 65,-
600, 100000 of which would be re-
mitted if the inter-Entente debts are
cancelled
The great merit of this plan is
that it puts Europe in the position
of doing some debt cancellation on
its own account before negotiating
for remissions by the United States.
Europe's public debt to US is not
now collectible in any practicable
sense. 1t may never be practical
Bile or desirable to collect it. That
is matter for the future to pass
upon. 1t would be unwise for US to
consider this debt as an economic
asset if collection will do us more
harm than good. To what extent
it is valuable moral asset is an
other question.
The main obstacle to any move
ment on our part to remit the debt
is the realization here that as it now
stands the obligation is, in fact, no
present burden on Europe. 1t is
only the shadow of a burden. No
interest is being paid. We hold de-
mand notes which have not yet been
funded into long-term bonds. We
are not harassing our debtors. All
that we are asking Of them is the
conversion of one form of confes-
sion Of Indebtedness into another.
Under the funding act passed by
Congress we retain our claim. 1t is
now, as before, nothing but claim.
If Europe goes ahead on the as
sumption that this claim is to be
moderated, as it undoubtedly will
be, both as matter of internation-
al equity and of financial prudence.
the connection of American debt
cancellation with European debt
cancellation will be much more
definitely and convincingly estab-
lished. Europe has everything to
gain and nothing to lose by starting
first. If she readjusts her inter
Entente debt account it will be
easier for the United States to make
that final gesture which will lift in
large part the hold-over war incubus
which weighs on labor, industry,
commerce and finance and blocks
return to normal interchanges and
prosperity.
The British governments step is
wise one. 1t is Europe's move
first.

No Reaction

The Congressional election in
Maine failed to show any reaction"
against the Administration. The
same thing happened there as has
happened in other by-elections for
Representative and Senator'S. The
Sd Maine District gave the Republi-
can nominee a plurality of 1000
The Republican plurality in 1918
was 5,363, in 1916 1864 and in 1914
1,515. The Democratic candidate
finds some consolation III the fact
that he cut down by more than half
the 1920 plurality of 1882 But
there would be no zest left in politics
anywhere if the Republican plurali-
ties of two years ago should remain
intact
There is no visible reaction against
the Harding Administration The
Presidents personal popularity is
undiminished. His first year In office
has been a shining success. The
country has faith in his character
and intentions. There will be lapses
back to normality in party divisions
But these have not been hastened by
the Administration course.
Maine is normal. The election of
Monday was affected by no deep-run-
ming cross currents. There is no in
dication Of discomfort with Mr.. Har-
ding's leadership and policies. And
these will continue to count with the
country generally more than any
thing which Congress may do or
omit to do.

Ihe Two-thirds Obstacle

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Has not the country had abont
enough of the rule that requires two-
thirds vote to ratify a treaty? We
boast of our democracy and of "the
voice Of the people" and "maioritv
vote" Why should not a majority de-
eide for or against a treaty?
The four-power treaty was formu-
lated in a few weeks because the
makers were in accord and believed it
was a step toward lasting peace, and
the people the world around reioiced
because the important task had been
done so quickly and so we'll. Now the
ratification of this important document
hangs trembling in the balance be-
cause, under the present state of af
fairs, one-third Of the Senate has
more voting power than thirds 1t
may be that one vote added to a one
third vote against the treaty will de-
feat it, and the will of the peonle
will be ignored and our democracy be-
come reproach the world around.

Unscrambling the Transit Lines

Nobody but Mayor Hylan expected
that the traction companies would
agree to the valuation placed on their
properties by the Transit Commits
sion. The commissions figures of
$465, ,680,00O were merely tentative.
as its committee on valuations stated
at the time they were published
They were computed as basis of
possible agreement.
Somewhere between these fonros
and the vastly greater estimate Of
the companies lies the truth. It will
In the end be discovered, provided
the companies are willing to meet
the commission fairly and work with
1t IN an effort to unscramble the
traction mess and formulate some
plan by which the system can be uni
fed and extended.
There is not the slightest indica-
ton Of a purpose on the part of the
commission to insist on an estimate
that is confiscatory or to seek to
throw the companies into receiver
ships. What it is obviously trying
to do Is to carry out the work in
trusted to it by the Legislature. The
utterances Of Chairman McAnenv
and of Mr.. Shearn, the commissions
counsel, indicate that they expected
opposition and are desirous of dis
cussing the valuation with the COM
panies until some agreement can be
reached.

Running Amuck

IF Senator Borah ever for an
instant believed that the members
of the arms conference had told
Paul d. Cravath that they had
with the British delegates entered
into a secret agreement with Japan
he cannot believe it now. Mr. Under
wood and Mr. Lodge have made
specific and indignant denials. Mr..
Cravath has repudiated the remarks
attributed to him in the steno-
graphic report that Mr.. Borah so
theatrically read to the Senate.
But it appears to make no differ
ence to Mr.. Borah whether or not
he believes his own assertions so
long as there is possible chance
Of making his colleagues on the floor
of the Senate believe them. He is
out to beat the four-power treaty.
He accepts any allies in the fight
even the former President, whom he
once 50 savagely denounced He
employs as evidence any document
that comes to hand, even though it
be wholly unauthenticated and
brings the gravest charges against
Cabinet members and Senators.
If Mr.. Cravath had used the
words he is quoted as using he would
have impugned the honor of every
one of the American members of
the conference. Any Senator, save
Borah alone, would have taken the
pains to learn whether these words
were actually used before shouting
them through the Senate chamber.
Any other Senator, suspecting that
Underwood and Lodge could be
guilty of double dealing, would at
least have verified his suspicious
before making public accusation.
But Borah is Borah. He has
become a mere destroyer-a man
governed not by his judgment but
by his hatreds. He no longer de-
bates-he Eliminates. In his blind
fury at those who dare to inau-
gurate international policy without
his advice and consent he employs
any weapon that comes to his hand
even if it be the poison gas of
baseless determination.
1t is not surprising that he has
become a morose and an almost soli-
tary figure in public life. He trusts
nobody and believes in nobody. His
sole purpose seems to be to pull
down every structure that has been
reared by American statesmanshiip

Bullets for Bandits

The aldermen are granting per
mits to banks to install pistol ranges
and to train young men to "get"
bandits. Bank messengers will not
be such easy picking from now on.
1t is hopeful symptom. Little
enough has been done to make free
booting dangerous occupation.
The crack of the pistol is the
only argument the outlaw under
stands. He ought to be fair game,
but the Sullivan law says no. It's
a hard law to respect while the
bandits hold carnival. A liberal
distribution Of firearms licenses to
law-abiding citizens competent to
use them will arouse no criticism at
this time. There is need of small
