PartiSanShip Meaningless

We have come to point in our
political life where partisanship
means little, and there the average
voter is obliged to indorse many
things he does not like and oppose
many things he does like if he
stands by his party.
This is what caused the Demo-
cratic deadlock three years ago, and
this is what makes a President like
Calvin Coolidge likely to be can
didate in 1928.
The probable denomination of
Coolidge proves that the Republic
an party is just as badly deadlocked
and just as foggy in its ideas as is
the Democratic party.
The American people have be-
come more indifferent to politics
than they used to be because poll
tics has ceased to mean much that
is definite and understandable.
Big business has taken the place
of statecraft in moulding public
opinion.
This is not because big business
is so much better than it was twen-
ty-five or thirty years ago, but be-
cause statecraft has ceased to be a
clean and purposeful influence.
You can tell quite accurately
what General Motors is trying to
do, and why the coal-carrying rail-
roads are in freight war, but you
can not tell what the United States
Government is trying to do, or why
marines are in Nicaragua.

Lax, and Justice
BY Dexter NJ. Keezer

truck driver drew well off on the right side of
the road at night to fix tire. After fixing the tire
he was cranking the truck when car crashed into
the back OF 1t and pushed it forward that it ran
over him and injured him. He sued the driver of
the car which had hit the truck for damages claim
ing that he driving recklessly and at high rate
OF speed. The man who had hit the truck admitted
that he was travelling fast and that he had seen the
truck when about eighty feet from it, but he con-
tended that he should not be held for damages on
account Of hitting it because it had tail light and
consequently was being operated in Violations of
the law.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Mich
igan decided that the absence of tail light on the
truck, although violation of the traffic laws, did
not prevent the truck driver from recovering damages
for his injuries 1t said that the driver of the car
which had hit the truck had it far enough away
to avoid hitting it if he had not been driving reck
lessly and consequently could not escape liability on
the ground that the truck driver had not fully COM
piled with the law.

Business Looks Ahead

Who gives thought to where this
country will be twenty-five years
hence with respect to oil, with re-
spect to forests. with respect to the
control of electric power, with re-
spect to the production and distri-
button of farm products, with re-
spect to its policy toward Latin
America?
Business concerns, like the United
States Steel Corporation, the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company. General Motors, and the
great railroad combines, are think
ing ahead. They are not content
with the idea that next weeks, or
even next years business has been
provided for. They build with an
eye to the future, and that is one
reason why their stockholders and
employees have confidence in them.
Political leadership has shriveled
to a point where it seldom tries to
penetrate beyond the next election,
and where it's idea of service con-
sists chiefly of safeguarding itself
in the next campaign.

Russian Oil and Ours

While Standard Oil Of New Jersey and certain
other oil concerns fussng over the ethics or
whatnot of trading with Soviet Russia another grim
reminder of how low our oil supply is comes to us
from the Black Hills of South Dakota
"Our future safety depends upon our naval, army
and air forces Ralph Arnold, geologst and prominent
oil man of California, told President Coolidge. "And
the ships the seas, motor transport on land and
the planes in the air cannot be operated without OIL
Yet the Nations supply will be exhausted in seven
years.
1.-THE nation whose oil supply Is exhausted" he
then warned twill be at the mercy Of every aggressor
If transportation fails, great cities would starve to
death.
1.-THE Government should limit borings in order
that the precious supply may not be wasted. 1t
should join with the States in compelling regulations
against wastage and encourage every possible system
of oil conservation
Unpleasant words, these but words which the
Nation should heed. And Of the best ways to
what we have left is to encourage the pur-
chase and Use of oil from other lands
STUPIDITY we boast of producing 10 to 80 per cent
of all the oil consumed in the world apparently utterly
oblivious to the fact that the faster we sell our
limited and fast dwndling stores, the quicker we
will be at the mercy of every aggressor.
Standard Oil of New Jersey may be indignant
because of the rumored oil deal with the soviets
but Standard Oil of New York-a member of the
same family-shoud be warmly congratulated if it
is true stated that it plans large purchases from
Russia, however "red" or otherwise unorthodox the
Russians may be. We don't usually invite the whale
to weekend parties, but we've used powerful
lot of his OIL
For decades American oil concerns have Wed with
one another drilling for petroleum and marketing
it around the world Fast and furious the game has
gone wells being sunk close together in some dis
ricts that goat could almost leap from derrick top
to derrick top
The result is an all but exhausted supply. When
that is gone, look out. Foreigners have smiled up
their sleeves as they watched waste what we have.
Indeed they have gladly bought oil while con-
serving theirs helping to waste it, knowing that when
it is all gone we would be at their mercy.
Our oil concerns and the Government at Wash
ington must find way to prevent the waste Of the
little we have left. And using Russian oil is one
such way.

Speeding PurpoSeIy

People not only need the leader
ship of men to work effectively in
politics, but they need the leader
ship of ideals and principles.
They cannot become interested,
much less enthusiastic, without a
fairly clear understanding of where
they are going and why. They need
detectives to inspire them-some-
thing of a tangible nature that
promises to result in tangible bene-
fit.
Such detectives appear sadly
lacking in the political life OF this
country. 1t is steaming ahead at
a tremendous rate, but without di-
rection Of purpose.

For lack of issues, all the political

Issues are not really lacking, but
the two major parties are so or

Tariff, taxes. prohibition, flood
control, foreign policy and most
other important questions find a
sharper division within the parties
than between them.

ISLANDERS ABOUT YUMA


Yuma, Arizona. has a dry climate,
but not so dry as has sometimes
been alleged. I once quoted in a
magazine article somewhat over-
wrought picture Of the aridity pre-
vailing there, from the pen of that
usually accurate writer. the late DR..
]. S. Billings, and was properly calls
ed to account by the meteorologist
in charge Of the Yuma weather sta
ton.
The same place is rather subject
to hot weather. but the following
poetic gem Of purest ray serene.
which appears in the Journal
American Speech" is a SANDER:
The boy stood on the burning deck.
He did not whoop ncr holler.
The fire came up and scorched his neck
ana Singed his paper collar.
His comrades said. why don't you
Said he "oh. won't you loan
Man a pair OF blankets. I'm
From Yuma. Arizona"
What are the cold Cor any rate
cooD hard facts about Yumas cli-
mater My official colleague at
that place writes that 'its reputa-
ton for holiness is worldwide, but
not more than half deserved. The
aridity is assumed from the small
rainfall naturally but not right
fully"
The humidity is. however. low
enough to temper greatly the heat
of summer. Thus on one occasion,
when the thermometer climbed to
100, there were no heat prostrations,
no heat strokes. Work and business
went on as usual. The dry heat was
quite endurable.

LOOKING OVER NEW
EVENTS AT THE PALACE

Heading the bill this week at the
Palace theater is the musical COM
edy sketch Hereafter" 1t is about
the trials of a bootlegger in "Hades,
and the wonderful time he has in
the devils domain. The girls are
pretty and the songs are tuneful.
Some of the ideas used are those
that have made the musical revues
what they are. Billy Purl and Com
pany have a most UNUSUAL comedy
presentation.
To make things disappear and to
perform tricks with cards and such,
always is the ambition Of the young
