PUBLIC OPINION

C. L. TOBIN-"I don't believe
people here have occasion to antici-
pate a flood this year that will any,
where nearly approach that of 1910,
when the bridge spanning the Hum
boldt river here was washed out.
Conditions are not at all similar.
During that year the ground was
frozen when the thaw commenced
and the water could not penetrate
the earth. Another thing, when the
thawing commenced it kept right up
until the snow was out of the hills,
or nearly so, before the ground COM
menced to thaw. This year it is diff
ferent. The ground has been thaw-
ing to a certain extent, but the snow
remains, and this means the earth
will absorb a good portion of the
moisture. There will be high water,
yes, but nothing that will effect this
community adversely. l think the
severity of this winter has been
overdrawn. 1t has been nothing
compared with 1917 for real cold
weather or length of winter. l re-
member distinctly that there was no
green grass that year on March /,
while this year the grass was to be
seen far earlier than that date. Ny
observation has been that this has
been an ideal winter all around, with
no stock losses, and storage of snow
that is later to become irrigation

manner that man could not improve

was held out that recent meetings
IN Indianapolis might BRING The OPP
orators and miners together, these
meetings being sponsored by the
government. But at that time some
of the operators refused TO meet
with the miners to discuss an inter-
state wage agreement. Other meet
ings are to be held before April
and it may be that something will
develop to relieve the situation.
However, warmer weather will be
with US before long, and people will
not burn SO much coal. In fact, re-
cent warm days have materially re-
duced the quantity of coal delivered,
except to some who are laying in
an extra supply in anticipation of
the strike. My information is that
there will be no trouble in the Utah
mines, because men working there
are receiving more money for their
labor than are you or |. They work
in pairs and it has frequently been
reported two men receive as much
as 5000 per month. They would be
foolish to strike. So, as in times
of stress from other causes, Winnie
mucca will not feel the strike as
much as other places will, unless the
government should issue orders, as
it did before, that the Utah product
be shipped east. The principal dan
ger from a coal strike lies in the
fact that industry in other lines will
be tied up during the period the
miners are out, if the strike should
endure for long. For instance, steel
mills would be unable to run and
many men not connected with the
coal mining would consequently be
thrown out of work Railroads may
be seriously handicapped in trans
portation of commodities, though
here again this western country will
be favored because of oil-burning
locomotives. In the east this will
not be so, because railroads there
are enormous users of coal. The
supply of coal here will probably be
adequate to take care of needs I'M
less the strike should endure for a
longer period than is generally the
case"

Bidding for Immigrants.

An interesting story was told yes
terday in a special dispatch to The
Star from Atlanta. The Canadian gov
ernment is not only making an effort
to induce its nationals who have re.
Gently emigrated to the United States
to return home, but Is holding out
special inducements to American
farmers in our northwestern states to
cross over and take up residence in
that country.
This Is from a statement just issued
by the acting Canadian minister of
Immigration:
We are concentrating attention
upon settlers of this type. But one
of the difficulties is that many Of
those who were desirable immigrants
have not the necessary funds with
which to buy land in Canada. In order
to assist as much as possible we are
bringing our immigration agents in
the western states to Canada to make
q survey and to list desirable farms
which the owners will rent for a
year OF two. in the hope that the
renter may eventually purchase and
become the owner. This is something
that has not before been attempted in
the way OF immigration WORK py our
agents.
Ought it to have been attempted at
all? Is it neighborly to invade the
United States in such fashion and
play upon farmers with such tempta-
tons?
Canada could not find anywhere
else, on this or the other side Of the
Atlantic, people as desirable for build
ing up her interests. The American
farmers are Industrious and capable,
and in Canada, speaking English,
would move along easily with the pro-
cession.
But they are needed at home here.
We do not wish to part with them.
Special attention is being paid to them
at present. in Congress and out.
Maybe we can outbid Canada. and
hold on to our own. The flag of the
Stars and Stripes looks good to the
great majority Of those who were born
under it.

Mr.. Harding and 1924.

Secretary Hoover predicts the re-
nomination of President Harding. A
considerable number of politicians
same opinion.
Well, why not? The republicans are
in power, with Mr.. Harding their
leader. They have made the record
for the past eighteen months. and will
make it for the coming eighteen. That
will bring them to national convention
time.
They must stand upon the record,
and by the man under whose leader
ship it has been made. y refusal to
renominate him would he tantamount
to confession of failure. Renomina-
ton, and especially with a show of
unanimity, would be a clear challenge
to the opposition under whatever
form and leadership it may appear.
That opposition cannot be forecast
now. The recent elections have un-
doubtedly heartened the democrats
everywhere. Talk about both Cox and
McAdoo has been quickened, while
new names have been added to the
list of those democrats appraised as
of presidential size.
There is good deal in f1uX, and the
bloc maneuver, because of it's newness
in our affairs and it's possibilities, is
causing quite as much uneasiness as
curiosity. What will it's authors do
with it? Or what will it do with it's
authors?
Presidential election day is nearly
two years away; and in two years.
with the world in a condition of fer
ment likely to continue for some time,
a great deal of a surprising nature
may happen.

work before breakfast. At that meal
Mr. Taft foregoes the things that fat

form, nor does he take a drink.
He likes vegetables better than

he eats of it freely. His breakfast is
largely of fruit. 1t is followed by

An Impressive Spectacle,

Yesterdays parade was a vivid safe
ty lesson. 1t presented the warning Of
death from carelessness in the streets
in many forms. 1t pictured the coAse-
quences of recklessness in a manner
that everybody could understand. 1t
showed all sides Of the question of
safety, in the streets, in the homes,
on the rails, in the woods. on the
water, safety for the nation, safety
for the children.
Rarely has Washington had so i'm
preSsive a spectacle. 1t left little to
the Imagination in its address to the
understa nding of the beholders. Pic
torial effects We'd with gruesome
dramatic representations. Drilled
marchers held the eye and ingenious
floats visualized the consequences of
recklessness or haste or incompetence.
How long will these lessons last? If
all Of the thousands who yesterday
saw the safety parade will acquire
the habit of care which it so striking
ly urged, this day will be released
from a heavy toll of casualties. But
habit is strong. and the habit of care
lessneSS prevails to a degree that
makes for danger at every point.
Doubtless many Of those who wit
messed the parade walked carefully, on
dispensing, between the painted lines
at street crossings and watched the
impulse signals at control points. or
drove with scrupulous care in obedi-
ence to all the rules, written and un-
written. If only that first response to
the pictorial appeal could last.
To those who contributed to yester-
days valuable spectacle the city owes
warm thanks, those who managed and
those who participated. The spirit of
competition between the units of the
departmental section of the parade
was manifest in variety of ways. As
always before, the government offices
so important a factor in Washing
tons make-u-came to the front with
their contributions without stint of
labor and with enthusiasm.
These safety parades are effective
jolts to the public conscience. But the
main point is to get the habit Of care
which they teach.
