held on Washington s birthday, as
originally suggested.
There is still much to be done,
Scott said, before the celebration
plans will be completed, but it has
been decided to have big barbecue,
plenty of sports and entertainment,
addresses by prominent men, and a
general iollification. 1t is hoped to
have the governors of Arizona and
California in attendance, also the
highway commiSs-al ers of both
states, DR.. Sam VI. johnson, prcsi-
dent of the Lee Highway ass0cia-
tion, Colonel Benehan Cameron, pres.
ident of the Bankhead Highway as
sociation and flock of good roads
and Yuma highway boosters from
San Diego, headed by Colonel Ed
Fletcher, who has been one Of the
hardest workers in getting action on
q good road all the way from Sar
Diego to the Atlantic coast.
Cooperating with the local men.
and taking an active part in Sat
urday's conference We're Judge +.
T. Robertson, chairman of the Good
Roads Association of Arizona; l.. l..
Alexander, secretary of the Yuma
Chamber of Commerce, l.. l.. Odle,
superintendent of the Yuma Indian
reservation, and Judge Westover of
Yuma, who WAS chosen chairman of
the California Highway Route cele-
hration.
Will Invite President
Invitations to attend the celebra
ton Will be, sent TO the President
and members of the cabinet, and
even though they may not attend,
Scott says it will not be because
they were not invited.
In order to work up plans for
the celebration in Imperial Valley,
President Scott has appointed the
following committee to assist him:
j. l.. Travers, FL Centre; T. J.
Worthington, CaleXico; +. W. Cuff.
Brawley, and NJ. {. Blanchard,
Holtville.
'This celebration is going to be
the biggest thing of its kind ever
held in the southwest, President
Scott said today, because it typi-
fies a genuinely big event in the
history of this section. In another
year or two, there will be upwards
of 1000 cars n day from the east
passing through Imperial Valley, par
ticularly in the fall and winter. 1t
is easy to realize what this will
mean for the valley, when one con
sidcrs that all these cars must have
supplies and that tourists are going
to spend their money as they pass
through.
Even now there are many cars
coming through here, and ON the
way to Yuma Saturday we passed
them from % Or more middle west
and eastern states. The Lee and
Bankhead associations will help us
in telling the travelling public that
the southern route is the best route
10 California, and as the Lincoln
highway, takes the tourists through
snow in the winter time, there is no
reason why we should not get prac-
ticailv all westbOund travel at the
period of the wear.
Arrangements viii be made to op- !
rate the route over the plank road I
" controls on the day of the cele-
ration, 50 that traffic will not be /!
lowed down or hindered by crowd !

llght 90 OH lHto the sand, thereby
others from reaching the
Gene Of the celebration.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON,
THE ELECTION EXCITEMENT NEARLY the Unite


the United States TO KEEP OUT of
European politics. NO MORE CONSCRIP-
ITON FOR AMERICAN BOYS TO FIGHT
FOR COR AGAINST) ROYAL THRONES
IN EUROPE-is one of the things craven
with an iron pen in the rock forever" on
the minds of our own people. All can vol
unteer if it so suits them, but no more con-
scripts with without regard for color,
or previous condition of servtude!
IT is we'll to say, in this connection that
it was a Democratic president who EQUAL
INED the military forces Of the United
States and gave the SAME PAY, the SAME
UNIFORM and the SAME PENSION to black
as well as white conscripted soldiers, and
the result, is now partly apparent The
ex-service men of the Worlds war voted
in yesterdays, election, and the wives and
widows of cOlOred ex-service men have also
liberty to vote No grandfather clause"
will operate against more liberty to the
ex-service colored voters in these United
States!
The solid south cannot soldify itself
against the outside states much longer. We
have made it business to vote for only
one party since Appomattox, and the south
is now dividing itself on racial and religious
intolerance 1t counts locally at home, but
is voted by smarter politicians for personal
gain and political prominence in other sec
lions, while we continue to play humble
peg" and allow sO-called farm blocs" to
block all national legislation by their use
Ii
states to further their combinations and
cOnspiraces.
Mr. La Toilette has carried his own state
and Mr.. Davis failed to carry West Vir
ginia. Mr.. La Toilette organized a So
called farm bloc for political warfare in
1921, and he brought in five western Re-
publicans, including himself, and four
southern Democrats joined him in close
bonds of unity and loyalty When the
story is written in full, we will discover
that the SOLID SOUTH 1was wrecked by
that combination and Mr.. Davis had a
hopeless task before him after he was
nominated in Madison Square Garden last
July.
He made a gallant fight against hope
less odds Behind him, working like beav-
ers in creek swamp, were these farm
bloc conspirators hoping to control the
western vote. When the end came yester-
day, the only loser who retains the SYM
pathy of the United Statessis Hon John
w. Davis, who would have nowhere to lay
his political head save ip the solid south,
which always counts for next to nothing
in hand-to-hand fight for the highest
prize

THE ELECTION RESULT IN
GEORGIA

" EASONING from cause to- effect in In
X terpreting the election result in Geor-
n gia, John w. Hammond, wel-known
political writer and special correspondent,
comments interestingly in dispatch to the
Augusta Chronicle, which has attracted
widespread attention.
First and foremost" remarks Mr.. Ham
mond Georgia not only kept the Demo-
cratic faith, but strengthened it. While the
country was going overwhelmingly Repub-
lican; while the battle cry of the Red filled
the political atmosphere and gave foundation
for real alarm in Georgia, this State gave
a total Democratic vote in excess of that
given to Governor Cox when he ran four
years ago. An index to just what this situ-
alton is may be gained by study of the re-
suit in Fulton county, where confessedly
the strongest Republican and Progressive
work was done, where there was more for
those campaigns to work upon; where they
claimed their greatest hopes of gains from
the Democratic part.
Looking backward a few weeks, though,
it was easily perceptible to those who know
State politics, and who have had ample OPP
portunity to size up the drift of things on
the approach Of the balloting day, that Geor-
gia in just that precarious Democratic
condition which leaders at that time pic
tured it. That there was, in tho last three
weeks of the campaigning formidable turn
ing back of the tide is as obvious as it was
tide-turning and today, in rejecting what
brought about return to the Democratic
fold of those weakened brothers who were
talking openly of having strayed from the
fold, the somebody becomes visible. 1t was
Major John S. Cohen, the new National Com
mitteeman. Major Cohen poured into this
campaign an unreserved effort such as he
nor any other man has before turned onto
any national fight. He stayed with the fight
day and night. He lunched with it; sat
with it in every conference he could get
held; talked it; wrote about it for publica-
ton and in mountain-high pile of letters.
In a word, Major Cohen lived his party fight
in this campaign-and he simply made his
party, not win for it would have won any
way, but turn back a threatening tide, strike
the voting-day tide of the States old party
alignment. and score for itself bigger rec
ord than it had before. 1t was Major Cohen
and those leaders who so loyalty imbibed his
enthusiasm and >determination--and they
have justified themselves quite fully, not in
theory, but in results obtained"

Hole for the Chestnut Tree

hope for the Chestnut Tree
~ EORGIANS who have feared that then
4 States once luHuriant growth o
chestnut trees might succumb entirely
to the blight which has played havoc in
other regions will welcome the reassuring
words of a scientist of Rutgers University
Arthur Pierson Kelley, who has been study
ing the situation in New Jersey. His OBJ
servations convince him that in certain
areas, at least, there is a decrease in the
number of branches killed annually and that
new growth is making Roadway against the
blight
After describing, in Science" his methods
Of measuring these developments, Mr. Pier
son goes on to say:
'"Not only are saplings showing recovery
Of growth but older trees as we'll. Near the
writer's home is a fine grove of chestnut
trees of thirty to forty years of age; the
tops were killed, but the trees are produc-
ing new crowns in some cases recovering
half their former height, and are now we'll
set with fruit. This condition seems COM
mon in southeastern Pennsylvania, the trees
flourishing more on Chester and Manor soils
than on the more sterile Dekalb. 1t may
also be rather a widespread condition, for
in passing through the mountains from Har
risburg Pennsylvania, to Buffalo, New
York, many trees were seen similar to those
described In the Niagara Peninsula of On
tario, especially near st. GATHERINGS, recov-
cry seemed evident. The improved condition
may not be due wholly to greater resistiYe
powers, but to a lessened supply of spores,
for it is evident that the total production of
spores is vastly lessened. The trees have
also shown their ability to heal serious cank-
ers, although ultimate recovery is not nee
essary consequence
Unhappily, however, there is danger of
extinction. even for the growth which shows
the greatest power of resistance and propa-
cation, 's1nce the public has been taught
to believe that cutting of all chestnut trees
from woodlot is virtue" Here again we
encounter the urgent need of a WelI-sustan-
ed forestry service, through which commu-
mites can be educated as to the Importance
of conserving valuable trees and through
which other endeavors to that end can be
carried steadily forward

Thinking IS Better Than Whipping
By DR.. Frank Crane

a NUMBER of correspondents have re-
~ piled to my article upon 'Beating Chill
l. dren." I have been called "maudlin'
and "blabbering." When people go to call
ing names it shows they are very much in
earnest.
There is one man, however, that has fur
nished me with new text. He says in sub
stance, that corporal punishment is justif-
able for boy rowdies who throw stones and
then run away hooking.
Which reminds me of a historic occur
renee that may shed little light upon the
question.
When John H. Patterson built the first
shops for manufacturing his cash registers
at Dayton, Ohio, he made them with many
windows. They were, however, in a section
of the suburbs where a host of bad boys
dwelt. These boys amused themselves and
exercised their destructive propensit1es by
breaking the windows.
Now, the natural, ordinary, and stupid
thing for Mr.. Patterson to do was to have
the urchins arrested, fined, and sent to pris-
on. That is the average fool logic of men.
THAT will show them how to damage other
peoples property. That will brighten them
into obedience of law"
The only trouble with that process is that
it never has worked and never will work.
Punishment has never abated crime since
the foundation of the world. 1t increases
Mr. Patterson did not arrest the young
hoodlums. Instead he sat down and thought.
If people would do little serious thinking
it would save them deal of folly.
And he asked himself: ''Why do these
boys throw stones through my windows ?
They don't know me, nor hate me-" And
after more careful thinking he came to the
conclusion that the boys wrecked windows
simply because they had nothing else to do
that was so interesting as that.
SO he determined to give them something
to do He gave a plot of ground to the
boys of the neghborhood. He hired an eX-
pert gardener to show the boys how to raise
things. And the boys took to gardening as
a monkey takes to sugar
For boys love to be outdoors, to exercise
to raise things, and to make money. They
like that better than breaking windows.
SO Mr. Patterson "killed off, the bad
pests in the very best way to kill any dad"
people, which is by tact and forethought and
belief in the Unborn goodness of human ma
ture
That is the gist of the whole matter.
There are few bad boys and girls There
are too many ignorant, dull-minded and
childish grown people. A child is bundle
of activities. Spend proper amount Of time
and trouble in arranging for these activities
to be normally and joyfully exercised and
your children's badness" will disappear
Punishment, the ancient and venerable
superstition that fear will make character,
is an utter humbg
The Boys Garden" idea has spread 1t
has been adopted by many pubIo schools
Unmeasured good has come from the plan
More good is yet to come when we shall
get all the little ones out of doors to play
with Mother Earth. And all because a man
had sense enough, when he was injured, to
think and not to strike

in planning for tomorrow. Let us not forget
the peril and the folly of those elements of
reaction within the party which conspired
far in advance of the New York convention
to defeat the one outstanding candidate of
the rank and file, and which did defeat him
despite the expressed will of the people This
The Journal says with cordial regard and
undiminished admiration for the chivalric
American who finally was nominated and
who proved as knightly leader as it was
ever our privilege to follow. Be it remem-
bered in seasons ahead, however, that if the
Democratic party expects the people to be
true to it's needs it must be true to the
peoples Instructions. Thus purposed and
thus led, the party of Je~-rson and Jackson
and Wilson will fulfil splendid destiny and
will triumph in the justice of the years,
whatever may be it's reverses of the moment.

Rosamund believes him guilty. Desir-
ing to protect Lionel, Oliver can only
protest his innocence; but he obtains
from the justices a document, to be pro
duced in case of trial, attesting to the
fact that he bears no mark of recent

threatens; and Lionel, crazed with fear
that oliver will reveal the truth, hires
a pirate sea captain, Jasper Leigh, to
abdUct him and sell him as a galley
slave. With divers disappearance it
