TROUSER-CREASING

Our American democracy may be interested in the
decree regarding pants pressing in London The decree
is understood to from the king himself though
naturally His Majesty, like President, cannot be
quoted directly King George it should be observed is
much of dictator Mussolini, though he confines
his dictatorship to clothes and manners while Musso-
lini spreads his around to cover everything.
Well, to get to the point, pants-or rather,
should say trousers-must be pressed with the
fore-and-aft. That is when by others than
bers of the royal family
The issue became of public importance when the
"swagger squad" of detectives from Scotland Yard
which safeguards the conduct of London's night clubs
started creasing its trousers the side in imitation of
King George. That was too much. 1t came parous
near being lese-majesty. Men have been hanged for
less. But King George who is kindly soul, gave the
detectives another chance before srngng them up OF
casting them into dungeon in the Tower.
Why does George, you ASK his trousers creased
the side? Oh, becaue that's the way English kings
happened to wear them when pants-pressng started.

UNOFFICIAL" AMBASSADOR ROGERS

Will Rogers used to style himself disappointed
ambassador, in series of letters to President Cool
idge conditions in Europe written several months
ago for national publication, series that attracted
considerable attention
Underneath mantle of humor there was great
deal of truth in the things he wrote, for Rogers is not
merely humorist. He has keen, analytical mind
that goes right to the heart of things in language that
the layman understand without having to puzzle
over it.
This by way of wondering if there is something more
than "selfappointed" behind Wills present trip to
Mexico. Yesterday he left the capital of Mexico in
the company of President Gales and Ambassador
Morrow for trip of inspection. A report on this
trip will doubtless appear in due course in public
print and we venture to say it will be we'll worth
reading.
There has been considerable misunderstanding for
States. The of the misunderstanding has been
due only to ignorance both Sides Apparently
Rogers visit is to enable him to get the Mexican view
point and tell US about it.
He may have been invited to Mexico by President
Gales. Perhaps his visit suggested to President
Coolidge, who doubtless consulted directly or in
directly about it. Whoever is responsible for Rogers
being IL Mexico has proven his sagacity. There could
be no better representative of the American people
chosen VIII is not likely to antagoniZe the Mexican
people Wel-intentioned American writers have
done. He is also bound to create friendly feeling
wherever his visit may take him for his humor is in
fectous and his personality is irresistible He will
be Just plain VIII Rogers to President Gales and to
the lowliest peon he may meet his trip
As Ambassador without folio" Will could be of con-
tinual and unusual service to his country but then
who would make laugh?

UNITED SUPPORT NEEDED
Once more the battle is on.

once more the battle is
Congressman Swing introduced in the House yester-
day. the same bill which met such close defeat last
year. and which all Imperial Valley hopes will be sue
cessfully passed at this session of Congress.
The congressman states that he intends to ask for
early consideration of the Swing ohnson bill and
hopes for favoPbe action by the irrigation and re-
clamation committees in the House and Senate.
With truth he points out that the government should
take advantage of the opportunity protect Imperial
Valley and not wait until disaster has overtaken it be-
fore acting.
Not only is Imperial Valley interested and hopeful
for the of the BILL but it is certain to be close
ly watched by the entire nation.
Since its failure at the last session. many prominent
congressman and senator's have come to Imperial Val
ley to study conditions here, and without exception
they have been convinced of the necessity for prompt
action the sill Imperial Valley has won many new
friends since the 69th Congress This does not infer
that the fight will be easily. AS the valley has
strengthened its position too have the enemies of
the bill.
1t will be hard fight and long one. Success will
require the united support of the valley agreement
the states interested in Boulder Canyon
dam and noquarer fight with the bills opponents.

COOLIDGE EMPHATIC ENOITGH

What the President said yesterday ought Just about
convince the wise guys" (incuding Senator Fess of
Ohio) who have maintained that Mr. Coolidge did not
it when he told the country last summer that he
did not choose to be candidate for reelection 1929
There is no further for doubling that he does
not intend to seek the presidency again Indeed there
never was any doubt for those who give Mr.. Coolidge
credit for respecting the dignity of his office his
word and his desire to deal honestly and above board
with his feow-citizens
With solemn dignity he states, my decision will
be respected" There is implied therein a command as
the leader OF his party, and expression of conf
dence in his fellow Republicans that they will seek
among other party leaders for his successor
Possibly Mr.. Senator Fess of Ohio will now abandon
his campaign to draft Mr. Coolidge against his wishes
and work for the candidate whom he (the senator)
would really like to in the White House-the Hon
orabe Simeon D. Fess.
