Batting Andrew Mellen.
Editor Brisbane points out that in
stead Of abusing Secretary of the
Treasury Andrew Mellen the country
give him a vote of thanks. His finan-
cial astuteness has saved us millions
in taxes. He gave up imperative per-
sonal interests to take what to him
is a clerks salary.
There is a lot of indiscriminate
abuse going on now. We think we are
accomplishing something by it. The
Herald doubts this exceedingly. I'm
thinking abuse, suspicion and mud
singing never accomplished any
thing

A Good Road
to PIatteVille.

With the hard roads to Potos1 and
the river an assured fact Lancaster
good roads boosters should now turn
their artillery toward the east.
The next drive, increasingly until
the objective is reached, should be
toward Platteville.
We will have hearty cooperation
from Platteville boosters. We can
turn it around and say that we are
helping them. Either way is all right
so long as the purpose is attained.
Lancaster people want hard road
leading from the city to each of the
four points of the compass. We want
to see Lancaster as the hub of a
wheel the spokes radiating into Grant
county.
Grant county people residing out
of Lancaster want good roads to the
county seat. Business demands this
At some time of the year or other
nearly every resident of the country
wants to come to the county seat
Present road conditions often prevent
this.
The next point to be reached is
Platteville. We serve notice we VIII
not give up until this is attained.

Coolidge the Logical Candidate.

An omission of a paragraph in an
editorial on the political situation in
last weeks Herald made it read that
La Follette's chances were brighter
than a month ago when the oil in
vestigation was rocking the country
The missing paragraph referred to
President Coolidge. 1t is, of course
perfectly obvious that Senator La
Toilette is neither gamer nor loser
by the oil investigation. He probably
would have participated heavily had
his health permitted. AS it was and
is he is q silent factor
Coolidge has run ahead OF Johnson
in nearly every state and his nom1n-
alton seems practically assured. This
means that as far as regular repub-
licanism goes he will receive the sup
port of the party. Johnson represents
the radical element in the party. His
poor showing evidences that the rad
ical element is no longer in the party
but on the fence waiting for third
party. The logical candidate for that
third party is La Toilette. If he de-
cides to stay regular there will be no
third party of any consequence.

delegates to the national convention

vention was in session for three days,
beginning Thursday. Every state in
the union was represented. Herbert
Hoover, secretary of commerce, and
other notables, were on the program.

protection and conservation of all

necessary destruction.
God Beats Man
in Balancing Nature.
There are people who would kill
every wolf, every panther, every wild
cat, every weasel-if they could-no
matter how much they might upset
the balance of nature" thereby. In
the Sunday Journal is a picture of
thousands of rabbits about to be
slaughtered in a drive" made neces-
sary in Eastern Oregon by killing off
the coyotes which formerly "remov-
ed' the surplus rabbits. When it
comes to balancing Nature man isn't
in it with God.

The New Patriotism.

The patriotism OF our fOretatherS
redounded in expressions surrounding
freedom "Give me liberty of give me
DEATH" said Patrick Henry. MY on
Iy regret is that l have but one life
to give for my country" said Nathan
Hale as he faced his eXecutioners.
Our national anthem, the Star Spangl-
ed Banner, is built upon the symbol
of a nation recently released from a
tyrant's oppression. And so does MY
Country IT'S of Thee" another an
them of equal fervor, express this
idea of freedom along political lines.
Today, in a political sense, we are
all free The old symbols no longer
kindIe us because our forefathers
fought the battles and won political
freedom for us. And not satisfied
with freedom for the whites they
poured blood from thousands of bod
les that all might be free.
Today we have new meaning OF
patriotism. 1t is not fighting battles.
It is not uttering denunciations of a
tyrant. 1t is not the cry for repre-
sentation or for the ballot. 1t is
Citizenship.

POST OFFICE IN
s. D. GETS MUCH
new EQUIPMENT

SAN DIEGO, Aug. Io.-San Di-
ego g steady growth has constantly
increased the demands made on its
postoffice and within the last few
weeks the postoffice department at
Washington has taken recognition
Of the need for new and additional
equipment.
The postoffice has received -
new brass letter boxes of norma
mental design and quite different
in appearance from the iron boxes
hitherto used. exclusively here. The
sending of these brass boxes here
IS something in the nature of an
experiment, for it is the theory of
the postoffice department that they
will withstand the effects of the
salt air Non this coast better than
iron.
The brass boxes arc much more
expensive to manufacture, but the
government expects to effect an
economy III their use because it is
believed they will outlast by years
the iron boxes. They will not re-
qpire paint, which has to be ap-
piled frequently to iron boxes. All
but three of the dozen received
have been placed ON the streets,
and James f. Metcalf, superintend-
ent OF mails, stated yesterday that
they have proved far more salts
factory than the old boxes.
They can be cleaned easily with
damp cloth and are provided with
a slide for notices to the public
concerning postal Affairs, in addi
tion to the usual slide for the sched
ule Of collections. The boxes sup
piled as not large enough, however,
for service in the business district.
Provide Storage Boxes
Another notable addition to the
postoffi5e equipment consists of q
storage boxes of a type not in use
before here and which are expected
10 facilitate work for carriers hav-
ing large routes. The department
rules provide that carrier shall
not be compelled to carry more
than 80 pounds of mail at one time,
and so on large routes it is neces-
sary to provide storage boxes where
the carrier will renew his supply of
mail when he reaches it and CON
tinue on his rounds.
The postoffice has many requests
for package boxes and the boxes of
this type which have been in use as
storage boxes will be used to meet
these demands. Business men have
responded generally TO the postof-
fees appeal TO tie mail in handles
and this creates Il demand for pack
age boxes.
\ The postoffice also has been mott
fled that an order has been placed
for the shipment here of concrete
posts to replace the steel posts now
used as supports for letter boxes.

Local Artists
Exhibit Work

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 12.-The exhi-
bition of the San Diego Art guild
now on at the art museum in Bal
boa park is one which marks Il de-
cided step forward in the achieve
ments of the guild and should be of
much interest to those who follow
the art movement in this city.
The guild s exhibition committee
decided this year to send in ex-
amples of their best work; plan
which has had very happy results.
There is n good deal of late work
shown, as well as examples of that
done at earlier periods in the
careers of the artists, and the OPP
portunity of comparison adds to
the interest.
The exhibition comprises paint
ings in oil and water-color, pastels,
sculpture, etching and
haudicrafts, and those who see it
will feel well repaid for the time
they spend in doing so.

Century Plant
Blooms in Sd,
Is Unique Sight

A century plant 0 bloom is an
unusual specimenI-af vegetation
brought Y to the attenfTor~~af San
Diegans
The Century plant is at 3247 j
strsif, the property of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. f.. Chamberlin. The stalk
which bears the clusters of yellow
ish flowers began to grow from
the center of a six-feet- diameter
rosette Of zent lass-hke leaves in
April. 1t is now nearlv 30 feet
high, rearing itself like a telephone
pole against the sky 1t virtually
shot sup. One interested neighbor
who watched its phenomenal growth
said it grew two feet over night.
Since The plant began TO bloom
swarms of birds, particularly hum
ming birds, bugs and bees, have
buzzed around il, attracted by the
pungentIy sweet sap-like fluid
which eXudes from the flowers and
trickles down the stalk.
The century plant (agavc pro
nounced agay-ve) is not uncom-
mon to this region but in bloom
it is n rare sight. 1t occurs in the
arid and desert regions of North
America and is found frequently
in Mexico. The most familiar
species is the Agave Americana
Whe American century plant), of
which the plant in the Chember-
lin s yard is believed to be speci
men.
Some of the species flower every
year, Others only occasionally,
while some flower only once and
die. An ancient fable THAI the
plant bloomed only once in 100
years accounts for the name. The
plant owned by the Chemberlins,
though several years old, has never
been know DO bloom before. The
blossom, obviously, is II drain on
the plant S vitality. The rich, green
lustre of the finely grained, moirc-
like leaves las become tinged with
siekly gray. From a sprightly,
vital aspect they have dropped into
a more or less wilted condition.
The leaves, troughlike, stiff,
fleshly, curve outward and up
ward and terminate in danger
GUS point. The species of century
plant found here are grown chiefly
for ornament, but in Mexico they
are regarded as most useful plant.
The leaves yield n coarse fibre used
in the manufacture of thread, twine,
rope, while one species is the source
OF the well-known sisal hemp.
