enough of a fighter to overcome
opposition, political or otherwise?
Every day develops more indica-
tons of a warm time in the Long.
view convention of the Washington
State Good Roads association
which convenes September 80. Pro-
posals for new system for man
aging the state road program con-
tinue to stimulate discussion, max.
ing plain, at the outset, that there
is growing sentiment against an
elective" highway commission.
The indications are that most of
the delegates will favor either the
semi-independent highway com.
mission, which would stand out by
ITSELF. or control centralized under
the governor. Discussion of this
matter will surely enliven the con-
vention.
But there are other lively topics
coming up. From Spokane and Sc
attic will come plea for indorse-
ment of an east-west paved high
way, while Walla Walla will swing
In with demand for paved con-
nection. This will result in a de-
mand for a recommendation for an
extra cent tax on gasoline, making
three cent gas tax.
Backers of Stevens Pass, Cas-
cade wagon road and other high
ways will seek to break the policy
of limiting the state highway sys-
tenn. They want their highways
made part Of the state road pro-
gram.
These things promise a lively
off-year convention. But, it seems,
the tendency is to outline and rec
ommend plans to guide the voters,
or to seek voters, in the 1928 leg
islative elections.

AGIN HOOVER
Governors Crowd Favors
Dawes - Road Fight
Is Political
RICHARD HAMILTON

1t can now be said under sub
stantial authority that many men,
bers of the Hartley administra-
ton, including Gov. Hartley, will
show no enthusiasm for delegates
to support the nomination of Her
bert Hoover for president. Hartley
followers, especially in Olympia
and Spokane, are not united for any
one candidate, but they reflect a
preference, at this time, for Vice
President Dawes.
The governor, while publicly
showing no preference, is under
stood to be cold toward Mr.. Hoov-
er. Then it is known that at least
five members of the governors
code cabinet, are "off" the Hoover
candidacy. In Spokane, ex-speaker,
Floyd Danskin and others of the
Hartley group are thumbs down
on the man who is now the pace
maker among the republicans will
ing to succeed President Coolidge
as the party nominee.
This does not mean that the
Hartley people are organizing to
oppose Mr.. Hoover in the state
convention. On the contrary they
profess to follow the hands off
policy in the national end, the bet
ter to concentrate on state affairs.
But there is the possibility, of
course, of them getting together
later to seek delegates favorable
to. Mr.. Dawes Or some other candi-
date aside from Mr.. Hoover.
Two political reasons for this
coldness toward Mr.. Hoover can
be mentioned. Mark E. Reed and
Charles Hebberd, Spokane. Both
Of these men, recognized as anti
Hartley leaders, are openly car
rying the Hoover banner, stepping
forward to be in position to claim
the credit if Washington sends a
Hoover delegation to the national
convention. Mr.. Hebberd is unus-
ually active in behalf of Mr.. Hoov-
er, visiting here and there, includ-
ing Olympia, and that makes GER
tain Spokane republicans sit up
and bristle. And, naturally enough,
you can't expect Hartley loyalists
to fall in and rah-rah behind Mr..
Reed. So, you see, the Hoover out
look in this state may not be so
rosy after all.
Several arguments against Mr..
Hoover are beginning to make the
rounds. Some Of the Hartley people
complain that he is an internation-
alist, strong for the league of ma
tions, and that he is cancellation
alist-that is, he would cancel the
debts owed by England, France
and other European countries.
Then, they say, he might fail to
stand up under fire. They agree
that he is good organizer under
favorable conditions, emphasizing
that Everybody was for" wartime

No Wolf in Police Dog

German police dogs are German
shepherd dogs police strained. The
history of the German shepherd
dog breed dates far back into an
tiquity. In the opinion Of Max Won
Stephenitz, noted authority, 1t is
descendant of the Bronze age
dog. This theory refutes the more
or. less popular present-day idea
that the wolf has been largely in
strumental in the development of
the breed, and it is in line with the
beliefs of other authorities who
consider it very doubtful that wolf
outcrosses were made with the
German shepherd dog, and that If
such were the case the relation
ship is remote and of minor impor-
lance.

Newspapers are the only read
ing matter of many adults. Chill
dren who learn to read newspa-
pers intelligently, discriminating be-
tween the important and unimpor-
tant, have acquired the basis for
liberal education which will grow
broader and richer with every
passing year. They have acquired
the habit of really thinking about
what they read, discerning from it
the trend of history, the march Of
science and the progress of the art
Of living. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Engineers in South America

every ten Americans one meets are engineers
They are everywhere. But the hitch is that
Colombia also turns out annually great num-
Der Of engineers-the other Latin American
countries run to doctors and lawyers, but Col
ombla goes in for engineers. Most of these
are from the national universities and with no
practical experience.
When an American boy gets degree from
an engineering school he holds himself lucky if
it will gain the chance to become a workman
and start in practical way, but when Colon
bian graduates he is through with learning
that is, most of them are. And since all the
services are owned by the public, his only
chance for job is with the government. That
makes him politician at once and he resents
