Hoover Gets No YES Man
In Secretary Joslin

Being neither a so-called "fa-
naticar' Hooverite nor prospec-
tive Hoover "yes man." Theodore
G. Joslin, Washington newspaper

White House secretariat, promises
to bring a decidedly independent
note into the councils of the
executive offices.
Mr.. Joslin, in fact, is writer
who believes in plain speaking

in general-when he thinks the
occasion calls for it.

FROWN
ON 'BLUECOAT'

''The Bluecoat," a magazine
edited by Harry Douthitt, was for
mally banned by the Policemen's
Association last night when a
unanimous resolution was adopted
in which it was stated that the
magazine was not the official
organ of the department, and was
not sponsored by the association.
According to members OF the
association, many merchants in
the city have been led to believe
that if they advertised In the
"Bluecoat" they would receive the
bulk of the patronage of mem
bers of the association.
This, according to the resolu-
ton, is contrary to fact, as at no
time has that body sanctioned
any publication and does not in
tend to do so in the case Of the
Bluecoat.
Action of the organization re-
calls the proposal made when the
magazine was first started, that
a So subscription fee be charged
and 81 turned over to the retire
ment fund of the association in
return for support of the mem
berS of the force. The proposal
was turned down, first by Major
Henry G.. Pratt, superintendent
of police. and later by the Police
mems Association.
Copies of the resolution were
sent to all civic organizations
and trade bodies in the District.

with election day only three

Republican party is about to

Rarely if ever, have Repub-

apparently in the agricultural
west as it is in the industrial

plain Americas apparent extravaganza
at sea, as compared to Britain's econ
on1y. In 1914 John Bull was arming to
the teeth against the menace OF the
Kaiser's bid for naval supremacy. BY
1924 that menace had evaporated.
Britain thenceforward could afford TO
spend vastly less on her sure shield"
Between 1914 and 1924, Americas World
War fleet took form. Naturally its de-
velopment and upkeep made 1t neces-
sary to foot a considerably higher bill
than had to be paid ten years previ-
ously. 1t was within that same span
of years, and even more so during the
seven ye,rs between 1924 and 1881, too.
that the United States Government set
up, and more or less resolutely pur-
sued, its program Of achieving parity
with the British fleet.
Finally it needs to be borne in mind
that as a purely budgetary proposition
even a parity feet would cost the Amer
lean people more than such fleet costs
Britain. Our personnel is the highest
paid in the world. The standards OF
living in our naval service, ashore and
afioat, are notably higher, and CORE
spondingly costlier, than in other serv-
ices. Labor and material costs, too, are
probably heavier, on the average, in this
country than elsewhere.
Almost anything can be done with
statistics. To portray the United States
as setting the world a reckless example
in naval expenditure can easily be
shown to be a fallacious undertaking,
although no one in this country will
suggest that Mr.. Macdonald had any
Interior purpose in indulging IN the
Anglo-American comparison he has
lust made.

or neglected. There Is a touch Of fine
patriotism in the words Of Joseph as
recorded In the text, in which he ex-
presses the conviction that to him had
been committed the high obligation Of
preserving to posterity the gifts and
blessings he himself was privileged to
enjoy. He conceived Of his strangely
checkered life as designed for specific
ends. To his mind 1t was no accident
contributing to the security and per-
manence Of his people
To our present generation. especially
TO the youth, Is given the privilege and
opportunity OF SO ordering the affairs
OF our domestic, social and political
life as to insure to posterity the rich
privileges we enjoy. Highly conceived
civic duty has concerns and RESPONSE
bilities other than those which relate
to our immediate interests. 1t Is con-
celvable that a man may be a good
father and home provider and yet
miserably fail in his obligations as a
citizen OF the state. No one who Is
honest Is disposed to hold to the die
tum America, right or wrong" This
Is an expression Of loyalty unworthy of
high-thinking men and women. We
want America right and we want to
keep 1t from that which is wrong. but
We may only accomplish this through
the strong conviction that what this
Republic stands for and represents Is
worthy OF being maintained and pre-
served at any and every cost. That
kind Of citizenship that holds lightly
the strong elements that distinguish us
as Nation from other nations, and that
seeks to subordinate American princi-
Piles and ideals to a nebulous concep-
ton Of internationalism. makes no
contribution to our present wellbeing
or to our future stability. 1t is we'll to
remind ourselves at such a time as
this that fundamentally our love of
country, expressed in terms Of true pa
triotism, is related to our reverence for
God and things holy. We need citi-
zens today who believe in America, who
love America, who are ready with
Joseph to say, as they survey the fu-
ture: God sent me before you to pre-
serve you posterity in the earth" A

Of stability and devotion to those ideals

The Rotary Left Turn Passes.

A happy and satisfactory solution OF
a troublesome problem has been
reached with the approval by the Dis
trict Commissioners of the recon-
mendation Of William A. Van Duzer,
newly installed director Of the Depart
ment of Vehicles and Traffic, abolish
ing the rotary left-hand turn and re-
storing the turn provided for in the
National Code on Street and Highway
Safety, often called the Hoover Munich
pal Code This action is in line with
the recommendation of the Commits
sioners' Advisory Committee, which
passed on the matter last Summer.
The change in the traffic regulations
will not become effective until Septem-
Der Is. This postponement will give
plenty of time for all motorists to be-
come acquainted with the substituted
method. The new turn is really the
old one in Washington, for it was in
use here for many years until former
director of traffic saw fit to make the
change.
Washington now takes its place with
all but one Of the other large cities in
the interest of uniformity, that one
still retaining the rotary rule. Not
only is the National Capital in step
with the rest Of the Nation, but, what
is quite as important, it is in step with
itself
There are approximately 5000 inter-
sections here. About 800 of them are
controlled by traffic lights or police
men. 1t Is only on this ten per cent
that the rotary turn is in operation.
The 400 other street intersections call
for the center lane turn.
Confusion has constantly been caused
at the intersections which sometimes
are controlled by policemen and some
! times are uncontrolled. Unless the
motorist is a good gusser, he does not
know which way to proceed when he
is some distance back from the inter-
section and in line of heavy trafdc.
The turn effective in September does
not mean that the driver can suddenly
swing out to the left in the pathway
of continuous stream of moving traf-
fic. He must wait until the way is
cleared before completing his turn
Careful observance of this requirement
will not only avoid violation of the reg
ulations, but will make the intersec-
tons safe. Careful consideration must
at all times be paid to pedestrians.
1t is thus assured that the National
Capital will share in national left-turn
uniformity during the George Wash
ington Bicentennial, when SO many out
of-town visitors will visit this city.

George S. Graham.

Washington deeply sorrows at the
death Of Representative George s.
Graham of Pennsylvania, which occur
red yesterday. He had been Ill for
some time, but his affliction was not
considered a grave one and despite his
advanced age it was hoped that he
would recover and resume his post in
the House Of Representatives upon the
reassembling Of Congress in December.
For nine consecutive terms he had
been member Of the House. He was
dean of the Pennsylvania delegation
and in point of age the eldest member
OF the House since the death Of Rep
resentative Henry A. Cooper Of Wis
consin. His service throughout his
congressional career was marked with
brilliant achievement He was an
indefatigable worker and conscientious
in the discharge of the least as well as
the most important duties.
The District had in Representative
Graham champion in its endeavor to
secure political equity from Congress
in the form Of an amendment to the
Constitution permitting Congress to en-
franchise the Washingtonian rs q vot-
ing citizen, giving him representation
in the National Legislature and in the
electoral college. AS chairman Of the
Committee on the Judiciary before
which the Districts plea for the pro-
posal of an amendment to the Consti.
tuition was heard in the House Of
Representatives, he was uniformly con-
siderate and helpful whenever the case
was heard. He believed in the Districts
cause and did his utmost to advance
1t to the point Of favorable report and
enactpent. Washington regrets that
he could not survive to see the triumph
Of the enfranchised Capital that its
own faith holds as eventually assured.
