Lloyd George.
Enthusiastic and noisy thousands
greet the great English Commoner as
he goes about the United States and
Canada. The echo of that welcome
has reverberated across the Atlantic
and stunned England. Lloyd George
stock has gone up at home. A man so
popular in the new world must be
good official for the old world. SO now
thinks England.
of the various European dignitaries
visiting this country Lloyd George
easily takes the palm for acquaintance
and popularity. One feels he might
rush nm to him and say in our breezy
American way, Hello there, Lloyd
George. Old Scout, how are they COM
ing" and not be rebuffed by an icy
English stare.
Whyq Because Lloyd George is an
merican-spirituall if not nation
ally. He stands for the things we
stand for. He typif1es Democracy IN
q land of caste, title and tradition

her salvation and redemption.
That is why we love Lloyd George
Commoner he stands with and Tor
the common people. $50 years ago he
would have battled for us against
the Hanoverian autocrat King George.
Today he is our firm and sympathetic
friend
welcome, thrice welcome, Lloya

Deserved success, the kind we
should applaud, is founded on indus

really successful men have practiced
these virtues.

Then there is Holly House, which APP
pears to have been pueblo of rec
tangular form. These are but a few
Of the historical structures that await
the pleasure Of the tourist. However,
they are typical of the splendid relics
that are to be found in the HOven-
weep Monument"
Palm Canyon National monument
was created by act of congress-with
two strings tied to it. The act author.
ICES the secretary Of the interior to set
aside 1900 acres In the county OF
Riverside, California, provided. that
before such reservation and dedica-
tion as herein authorized shall become
effective the consent and relinQuish-
ment of the Aqua Caliente band of In
dlans shall first be obtained. covering
it's right, title, and interest in and to
the lands herein described, and pay
ment therefor to the members of said
band on a per capita basis. at price
to be agreed upon, when there shall be
donated for such purposes to the sec
rotary of the interior a fund in an
amount to be fixed and determined by
him as sufficient to compensate the
Indians therefor"
That's the provision, verbatim ct
literatim. It certainly means that the
promoters must raise the money to
pay for the land. 1t apparently also
means that the Indians shall willingly
sell. Anyway, Uncle Sam isn't going
to pay anything. 1t Is said that a pur-
chase fund has been or will be raised.
The Indians, however. are reported to
be unwilling to sell.
Anyway. the area set aside with its
strings consists of three canyons with
their desert approaches: Andreas,
Murray and Palm. The center of
things is the village of Palm Springs,
which is hourishing winter and
spring resort in Our Araby" of the
Colorado desert of southern Califor-
mia. The purpose Of the monument Is
to preserve fine growths of native
American palm. the Washingtonian
tilifera.
Palm canyon, most impressive Of the
tHree, Is pass FutHer iHah canyon,
about ten miles long, with Palm creek
flowing through it. The palms are in
groves. Fifty feet is their average
height. with here and there one reach-
ing 70 feet. Andreas canyon also has
its stream and its palms with their
picturesque ''petticoats." Murray cam
yon lies between the other two and is
much like them.
In early spring the Colorado desert
here blossoms like the well-known
rose only more so-in sand verbena,
desert gold, luplne and primrose. "Keep
off the desert" is the proper summer
sign.

The third group, situated on Cajon
mesa, Is more difficult to reach.
1.-THE ruins in the Square Tower can
Won may be described somewhat as
follows: Ruins which have indica-
tons of inclosed circular kivas, with
mural pilasters and banquettes, and
closely appropriated surrounding
rooms. To this class belongs Hoven-
weep castle, the Hovenweep pueblo
and the so-called Unit Type house, the
last named belonging to the simplest
form of the pure type. Second. there
are the ruins, the main feature Of
which Is the absence Of circular
kiva. The Twin Towers belong to this
second or great house type.
1.-THE largest Of the ruins in this
canyon is Hovenweep house. situated
at the head Of the South Fork. AL
though many of its walls have fallen.
there still remains a semiclrcular
great house with high walls conspicu-
Gus for some distance. The ruin is
pueblo of rectangular form belonging
to the pure type, showing circular de-
presslons identified as kiyas, imbedded
in collections of square and rectangu-
lar rooms, and massive walled build
walls are remains of conspicuous
multi-chambered D-shaped tower.
"Hovenweep castle, like Hovenweep
house, has circular kivas compactly
imbedded in rectangular rooms ar
ranged about them. indicating the
pure type of pueblo. The massive
walled semicircular towers and great
houses are combined with square
rooms and kivas, indicating that 1t is
distinguished by two sections, an east
ern and a western, which, united, inn
mart to the whole the shape Of the let
ter L.
"Among the most impressive build
ings In Square Tower canyon are the
Twin towers. They stand on the
south side of the canyon on a rock
isolated by cleft from the adjoining
cliffs. the larger of the towers having
an oval ground plan while the smaller
is horseshoe shaped.
The pueblo known rs Unit Type
house is one of the most interesting
ruins in the Hovenweep. 1t is stu.
ated on the very edge of the canyon
Of the North Fork, not far from where
II begins. It is the simplest form OF
prehistoric pueblo of a pure type.
made up of a centrally-placed circular
ceremonial room.
"In Holly canyon the towers may be
approached on foot. The towers in this
CANYON show some Of the finest
masonry to be found on the reserva-
ton, one of the finest of them, Holly
tower, built on a great rock, its tip
rising to a height level with the mesa.

lterested in the prospective candidacy
of Henry Ford for presidential NOM
nation. The vague talk that has been
heard for months and even years has
within the last week or two crystal.
lied into definite movement" which
demands recognition. Ensel Ford is
quoted as saying his father is seri-
ously intending to enter the race and
actually means to stand for nomina-
ton. Whether he will seek the NOM
nation from the Republican or the
Democratic party or will head an in
dependent ticket is not yet known, and
is the question that Is causing the
politicians considerable anxiety. The
Republican leaders say they are not
worried about it, since Ford was a
Democratic candidate for the Michi-
gan senatorship, and that, even if he
did enter the Republican primaries,
he would not cut much of figure.
1t is generally believed Ford will
be the nominee of third party, and
if so, he will have the support Of
William Randolph Hearst and all the
Hearst newspapers. In published in
terview Hearst said: IF the presi-
dency of the United States were to
be settled by popular vote today
Henry Ford would be President, and
I am with him because Of this. He is
the man that should have all the peo-
pies support. But the only way
Henry Ford can ever run for the pres
idency will be to run as an independ-
ent candidate. / am a great believer
in independence and for that reason
want to stand with him in his great
fight for recognition"
The American Economic league, or
ganized to sponsor a third party
movement, was in session in Omaha
last. week, and its president, Roy M.
Harrop, said there was no doubt that
Ford was its choice for the presi-
dency, that the league already was
active in II states in efforts to get
Mr.. Ford's name before the voters and
that the organization would be extend
ed until all states were included.
Mr.. Ford himself refuses to COM
ment on the matter, because, he says,
no authoritative group has yet signi-
fed it wants him to be candidate.
But to a reporter he said last week:
"As far as national problems go the
two big problems at this time are the
railroads and the Judiciary. We pay
our judges such inadequate salaries
that some of them are retained by
corporations because they don't get
enough to live on.
"There is no question but that the
railroads should operate under one
central head. They are one indispens-
able agency for commercial expan-
sion"

sion with threats to invoke court
action to compel the interstate COM
merce commission to find the Original
cost" Of the railroads and the public
donations" to them.
Presidents of six big rail systems,
stirred by the dOings Of the LaFol-
lette conference, issued a statement
charging that the radicals do not aim
at fair regulation of the railways but
seek to cripple private management
and thus to make government owner
ship inevitable.
"The railways cannot furnish the
public adequate and satisfactory serv-
ice," says the statement, unless they
can constantly raise large amounts of
new capital with which to increase
the capacity Of their, equipment and
other facilities. They cannot raise
the new capital required for these
purposes unless they can earn net
return sufficient to pay reasonable in
terest and dividends upon the existing
investment in railroad properties and
upon additional investment that must
be made.
1.-THE net return the railroads are
now allowed to earn is based upon the
tentative valuation made by the inter-
state commerce commission. The net
return they will be allowed to earn in
future will be based upon the final
valuation made by the commission.
The proponents of government owner
ship are seeking to get low valua-
ton and consequent drastic reduc-
ton of the netareturn allowed, for the
plain purpose Of making it impossible
for the railways under private man.

@ OMETHING like half million
- miners and metal workers in the
Ruhr, who were engaged in hunger
strike that was fomented by the Com
munists for the forwarding of their
own plans, returned to their work
toward the end of last week because
the government raised their pay so
per cent. The Reds were disappointed
and admitted their main weapon had
been taken out of their hands. The
rioting which the Communists had
kept going pretty steadily came to an
end when detachments Of police from
the Rhineland appeared. The various
municipalities, disregarding the orders
of the Berlin government, strengthened
their police forces in accordance with
the regulations drafted by the French
military authorities there two months
ago.
