AMBITION vs. DUTY

Buron Fits, district attorney of Los
Angeles county, and aspirant for the toga
now worn by Governor c. c. Young, is 60
i ing to be one busy man for the next few
months if he adhere's to his ambition and
his duty.
His ambition beckons him on to the cap
itol at Sacramento, which is a perfectly
laudable ambition for any man to follow.
His duty, it would appear, seems to be to
stay on the job in Los Angeles
and clean up as much as he can of this
Julian mess. Asking any man to clean it
up entirely appears to be hopeless task.
Some 10 days ago, when Fits was Wis
iting (and we suppose campaigning) in
San Diego, the story came out from that
city that Fits had cleaned up Los An
geles. In the light of developments of
the past few days, which have seen the
Indictment of six more persons in the JUL
ian mess, it appears that the clean up has
by no means been completed.
When Fits took office he was aware
of the rotten conditions existing in Los
Angeles, where bribery and corruption
had strangled the district attorneys off
40 and made the courts almost worth
less. He announced then that he was on
the job to clean up the city and would do
so.
If Fits does his duty in the Julian
mess, and we rather think he will, for
Buron is not the type to shirk duty, he
will have little time for campaigning. If
he campaigns he will have no time for
prosecuting. Recent appointment of
special prosecutor to handle the Julian
mess, will relieve him somewhat, but he is
district attorney and the job is up to him.
More than one staunch friend of Fits
has the opinion that he should stay on the
job, forgetting Sacramento this time. He
is still a young man and there is plenty of
time for him to get to the capitol. The
rest of US can manage to worry along
somehow or other, no matter who hap
pens to be in Sacramento, but in our opin-
ion Fits greatest duty to California is
to complete his job at Los Angeles.

AN IMPORTANT DATE

Officially today is the first day of
spring, but so mild is our winter climate
here that the transition from winter to
spring is hardly noticeable.
Time was when this date found us
watching closely for the first robin up
from the south to scout around and see
what New England's climate was like.
Quite often the poor robin received dir
ty deal from the weather man, and unless
he brought his red flannels up with him
from the south, he was one mighty cold
robin
Likewise the small boys, having been
wearing ''long ones for several months,
were anxious to get out of them and into
garments that did not cramp their style
SO much. There were also excursions af-
ter pussy willows, hardy forerunners of
those days when the old swimming hole
would be the center of the universe.
And even few bold sprites would ven
ture out to the hole itself, in the vain
hope that where they had skated only
week or two back, they might find the
place as it would appear in July and Au
gust Trying to hurry old Dame Nature
was the small boys greatest desire.
Patches of dirty snow might be found
here and there; the river might still be
full of dirty looking and treacherous ice,
but the calendar said March q and that
Imperial Valley press., 1930-03-21

meant spring. 1t was just about time to
put away the hockey stick and inspect the
bats, balls and gloves, and wonder if dad
would stand touch for equipment badly
ruined through neglect since last season.
We raved about the good old snow
fights we had had the sliding and skat-
ing, but down deep within us we knew
there was nothing like the good old sum-
mer time and we rejoiced that March 21
meant the best time of the year was close
at hand.
Fourth of July was important, and so
were Christmas and Thanksgiving, while
Easter meant new suit of clothes. But
March 21 meant something that a fellow
couldn't put into words, and it made him
tingle all over. Come to think about it,
March q was mighty important date.

GIRL ATHLETES

Need of athletics for boys is recognized
by physicians, educational authorities
and all who are interested in work among
boys.
Athletics for girls, although much
more recently undertaken, is recogniz-
ed as being just as important.
While the events in which the girls par
ticipate are not as strenuous as those in
which their brothers partake, there is all
the thrill and excitement of any athletic
event when the girls get on the baseball
diamond, the track field or basketball
court.
Tomorrow the track meet for Imperial
Valley high school girls will be held at
Central Union field at l 80. Anyone who
thinks the affair is tame, never watched
bunch of real live American girls COM
pete against each other.
Competition is raised to the nth de-
gree. A 100 yard run with five or SIX
girls participating, will not set up any
time that would cause Frank Wykoff to
fear for his laurels, but that group OF
girls racing down the field, each one de-
termined to finish first, is something that
will send the chills up and down the
spine of any red-blooded adult.
The girls are more or less neglected, as
far as spectators are concerned. If it is
difficult to get attendance at the boys
athletic events (and it is so far as Ell Cen
tro's adult population is concerned) it is
even more so when the girls are partici
pating.
These girls train just as hard as the
boys, and they are just as loyal to their
school and ambitious for its athletic sue
cess. They deserve the support of lEl
Centro fathers and brothers, and mothers
too. Let's get out tomorrow afternoon
and give them hand. -

q region of political confusion a group
of young and undisciplined republics
where revolutionary unrest continued
has baniShed all ideas of order and stability.
This conception of Latin America is due to its
history Of a century of political turmoil and
domestic disorder. And it is true that political
systems are still complicated, imperfectly adj
justed machines in the majority of the Latin
American nations. and the stability of their
institutions constitutes a real problem. How
ever to generalze in that respect is to risk
being unjust. In contrast to such abnormal
condtions-due to lack of experience in demo-
cratic methods and to their psychological in
heritance from Spain-there do exist today In
Latin America nations like Uruguay, Argen-
tina Costa Rica, which have not only attained
a notable degree of political development and
of domestic stability, but which may be taken
as examples of institutional organization.
Uruguay in this respect the most progressive
country IN Latin America, could well be taken
by any nation of the world as a model for its
institutions and advanced political systems.
Although the smallest state in South America
in territorial extent, Uruguay has placed her
self in the vanguard of them all far as
the development of her institutions is con-
cerned. For the past half century, Uruguayan
statesmen have been adopting all the reforms
which, through important political movements,
were being tested out in other countries,
well all the progressive theories in legisla-
ton and popular culture which the most adj
Vanced European states were putting into sue
cesSfu practice. Thus we find that Uruguay
was the first Latin American republic to adopt
social welfare laws, the elght-hour day for labor
compulsory public education, absolute divorce
and other notable reforms of our age many
of which are still only known by name in the
majority OF South American countries. She
has been called, on that account, the political
laboratory of the Americas" Today Uruguay
has system of civil laws and social legisla-
ton which leaves nothing to be envied in the
most progressive systems of the world
THE same may be said regarding public in
struction and the education of her people
Although working under the same difficulties
as do all other Latin American republics in
attempting to educate the masses, Uruguay
now possesses the most perfect system of educa-
tiOnal methods in Latin America and has the
lowest illiteracy index of any of her sister
nations.
Uruguay like other Latin American republics
had TO devote her efforts in early years to
combating political passions, economic chaos,
