Rivera's Swan Song.
Cincinnati EnquirerD

The Dictator of Spain, Primo de Rivera, nounces that he is about to withdraw from the high place which he took over so abruptly and compet- ontly in 1923 He does not say with Shakespeare: My life has fallen into the scar, the yellow leaf. ,. On the contrary, there is great deal Of zest for life in the portly General despite his years as many senortas of the Spanish capital will cheer fully testify But the duties of a ruler of Spain arduous in these days of unrest and agitation they require a constant vigilance, and, more strenuous than vigilance, they demand an effort toward party organization which the great Primo has not been able to make
 So it is but natural that the dictador civil should seek graceful opportunity to retire. Then he go back to his natural eement--the theatre, the club and the corrida But without doubtng the sincere desire of Primo de Rivera to withdraw from his dictatorship, may well wonder what is to happen to Spain when he does retire. If he hands the reins of power to General revolution in Cataolinia may be expected to fol- down revolt, has made countless enemies over all Spain
 There others, of course such as the dapper Joe Yanguas Messia, President of the Ma tonal Assembly, and formerly Secretary of State But Yanguas is too much the diplomat to get far as man of blood and iron" And so may others be eliminated either for their brutality their incompetence, or their temperamental unfitness If a suitable man be found, it is probable that he will lack the full confidence of the nobility and the church, mainstays of the de Rivera regime Con- stltutlonal government by elected Parliament seems rather far off Perhaps Primos most difficult task in five years will be to find someone carry on his work

THE LEGISLATURE ENDS ITS WORK

It is unfortunate that the attempt of the bare Senate majority to force it's Controller Bill on the overwhelming majority of the House of Represen- tatives led it to hold up much legislation until the very last hours of the session that in the end trading and lottery had to be resorted to in order to settle things that ought to have been determined by reasoned judgments Not only there mad scramble for hours after the Legislature ought to have adjourned but a Territorial Auditor was chosen by drawing lots.
 However, The Empire believes that Auditor Cole will be a satisfactory official He has sufficient member of the Territorial official family. If he will forget the antics and motives of the political machine that gambled so desperately with the vel fare of the taxpayers and interests of the people in game of personal politics and use his ability and experience with mind single to the public welfare-and The Empire believes that he wil-he will do lot to aid people to forget the weird hours when the old Arctic Brotherhood Hall was mad house.
 MT. Cole reared in Juneau is graduate of the Juneau High School and all of his interests are here in the Territory where he has lived all of his life. He is honest, industrious and per- sistent The Empire wishes that he might have a successful and happy administration. He deserves the cooperation and support of the other Terri torial officials and the people We believe that he will receive them in full measure.
 It is too to review the grist of the Leg islature but it is not too soon to say that it did lot of good work. It passed some very worthy measures and killed a lot of them that were not so worthy. It did not raise taxes and made no unseemly raids invested capital.

THE AMERICAN WAR CONTINUES.

President Hoover asks the American people to be good and obey the laws and forthwith police men and gangsters begin mixing in life and death struggles in several American localities At the basis of most of the fighting is Prohibition, and the ef- forts to enforce it, and the illegal traffic growing out of it.
 People talk of the peace of the world and the pains that ought to be taken to prevent war yet bloody rages in many parts of the United States, the direct result of an attempt of part of the people to force other people to live they think they ought to.

 r. Ray Beech April g, 1928, set new record of speed in land travel by driving an automobile at an average pace of 2O755 miles hour on the famous Daytona Beach in Florida. Three days later Frank Lockhart tried to beat that record on the same course and instantly killed. Tn an English racing machine Major Segrave oh Monday went after Keech's record and set up a new one of 231 36 miles hour And two days later Lee Bible in an American machine with which he was not overfamiliar sought to beat the Se- grave mark and killed not only himself but news reel photographer who watching the attempt in the line of duty. The speed trials then called off by local officials.
 Keech and Lockhart Segrave and Bible, have succeeded in proving that it is possible to drive special course a specially constructed that is of no possible use at pace which is too dangerous to permit Why does not the automobile industry accept the proof sufficient and frown down such exhibitions in future? And why does any town government issue invitations to manslaughter?
