No Hunting to 1t;
He Shoots His Deer

Mitchell Kershaw is beginning
to acquire a reputation similar to
that. of the Canadian Red Coats,
who always get their man." But
"Mitch" varies his little: He al
ways get his deer. Furthermore,
he gets the first one of the season,
in the locality in which he hunts,
he gets it on the first morning in
the season, he gets it in nearly the
same spot and for three straight
years it has been fine four-point
buck. This year the horns meas
ured q inches between the points
and the animal dressed out at 223
pounds. He hunts in the Wenas
valley in Kittitas county, about 35
miles out of Yakima.

A Sickening Farce

When is drunken driver not a drunken driver?
Evidently the in the city of indianapolis is
when he is Republican politician with pull.
Every day men and boys without friends are sent
TO the penal farm to time in disgrace and worse
for driving cars when under the influence OF liquor
Punishment for this ofense is a policy on which
every one can agree drunken driver Of an automo-
bile is the worst of offenders. He is menace to life
and safety of every one else.
He is the one argument which the prohibitionists
produce that has any weight-and the numerousness
of the tribe under Volsteadsm suggests that prohi-
bition and the booegging are not the answer to
the problem.
But if law can correct individual actions, all Will
agree that this particular crime must be suppressed
But with regularity that is sickening, the poll
ticians Of the old Republican regime obtain freedom
when brought to the city police courts on this charge
The answer is that the judges Of that court are
named by the Governor The trick Of calling in some
friend to act as special judge when these cases are
docketed serves the futile purpose of attempting TO
dodge any criticism for expected acquittals.
When a drunken driver get freedom on the
plea that police warrant charged that politician
was drunk at Twenty fourth and Belefontane when
the truth was shat he was drunk at Twenty-fourth
and College, the law sinks to the low levels of bur-
lesque-
The Governor could of course, ask for the resig-
nation of Judges who play such tricks with justice
unless such judicial conduct meets with his approval

One More Rivet

shackles which the public utilities are attempting to

chester which has but very few people, unable to
fight as vigorously as might thoroughly aroused
larger city.
It would, if allowed to become permanent prece-
dent prevent public ownership and competition
That is the real fear of the utility barons 1t haunts
their dreams to contemplate the day when the people
will compare the records of cities which have private
y owned and operated plants with those Of the hold
ing company variety.
They fear even more the idea that the day may
come when the people will control their public serv-
ice commission and have public ownership of that
body instea dof private management.
SO it becomes important that precedent be estab-
ished for the guidance of commissioners who may
come into office after of the present messen-
ger boys are sent back home by Governor with no
secret or other commitments to these interests.
That two members of the commission rebelled
against further enslavement is a sign Of progress
That helps to break down the growing tradition of
insult omnipotence in this state.

About These SIums

Most American cities have improved or aban'
doned their wretched white tenement districts There
remain the sums in which the countrys migrating
Negro populations are forced to dwell.
In report to be made to the coming national
conference on home building and home ownership
in washington on Dec. 2 the committee on Negro
housing finds that "overcrowding dilapidated Struc-
lures with primitive sanitary arrangements, high
rents and unusual difficulties in financing home own
ership are the rule rather than the exception in
Negro housing"
On the one hand Negro populations in urban
centers have increased by 1878 per cent in the last
decade On the other, the colored strangers are de-
MED homes in the new subdivisions and forced to
find shelter in the rundown districts" abandoned
by the whites In northern cities only to so per
cent of these buildings meet moderate standards.
Here is a timely and double opportunity for the
cities BY razing and rebuilding these dwellings they
will provide employment for their jobless citizens; at
the same time they will be ending social nuisance,
a health menace and a moral stigma
Local communities and states last year paid 70
per cent of all unemployment relief costs through
taxes The new community chest report to the Gift
ford committee shows that in the 131 cities reporting
their chest drives only 80 per cent of relief is being
met from private funds.
Since jobs are better than charity the cities would
be doing themselves double service by paying out
these sums in wages for public works, especially for
the conversion of Slums.
No public work is more pressing than that of max
ing American cities fit for human habitation.

For the Treaties

Now is the time for the state department to de-
clare publicly that it will hold Japan responsible for
any further violation of the CAmercan) nine-power
churia.
Nothing short of the most open and vigorous pres
sure by the United States the strongest nation in
the world and Japan'a richest customer, will preserve
International respect for those treaties.
Japan has modified her militarism every time the
United States has co-operated with other neutral
lions to preserve the worlds peace machinery. But
Just as soon as washington pulls away breaking the
united 'front.' Japan takes advantage of the division
to drive her army deeper into Manchuria
: Ten weeks ago Japan made her first thrust and
then waited to see what the United States would do
to uphold the American treaties. When the state
department did nothing, Japan made a second
plunge Then, driven by the pressure of American
public opinion the state department belatedly
nounced that it would cooperate with the league
which had begun the task of protecting the neglected
American treaties.
At once Japan tempered her policy. But few
days later the state department reversed its brief
policy of international cooperation, and the Japa
nese army promptly moved forward as the Japanese
government and press cheered the state department
for its hands-of policy.
This week, under pressure of public and press
opinion and fortyone peace organizations President
Hoover has swung back to a very timorous and mild
ing to salvage the violated American treaties Japan

Cunha's Conscience

When man nurses a consuming hatred for an
other for fifteen years it's pretty good sign that he
has wronged that man and knows it,
Edward A. Cunha, former assistant district attor-
ney of San Francisco, took part in the ATTEMPT to
hang Tom Mooney on perjured testimony Today
Cunha is the only one of the old Mooney prose-
cution who openly opposes pardon for the man he
wronged Displaying the old savagery of the trial
days he swears he will crash the Waker-Walsh-
Sapro hearing before Governor Rolph on Dec and
oppose the pardon "if I have to fight my way in
Cunha should let time bury his hatreds-as have
his ex-chef, Charles Fickert and Billings prosecu-
tor, James Brennan who confessed himself blinded
by the chase" and sorry.
The record against Cunha is sordid enough to dis
credit him before he starts. For instance:
Cunha to Fickert Gas heard by the Wilson dicto-
graph)-"Chief, if you get witness who will put
Mrs Mooney at Steuart and Market streets I don't
give damn if you put her there in balloon"
Cunha Cestifying last summer before CALIFORNIA;
supreme court JudgeS)-"I wasn't worried about the
direct evidence. I was satisfied that Mooney should
be convicted on his activities alone I base that
statement on his ooneys) own activities leading TO
the preparedness parade; on the bringing in of all
the anarchists on the appeals to stop the parade
by the use of violence. At that time was satisfied
to have Mooney hang on that theory"
People will not wonder that Cunha's conscience
block the release of Tom Mooney

at once registered her sensitveness to such united
front of neutrals by starting to talk peace.
But japan has talked peace before, has promised
to Withdraw troops before, and each time she has
been able to wigge out of any peace agreement be-
cause the neutral nations could not count on the
United States at the critical moment
Now in the midst of Japan's latest armstice talk
the japanese armies are driving onward in violation
OF Tokios pledges Will the state department with
draw support from the neutral nations again. or will
the state department definitely, permanently and
publicly cut loose from the japanese war lords? It
is one course or the other
If the state department publicly will inform Japan
that America will not continue friendly relations with
any vioator of American treaties, Japan will think
twice before becoming outlawed nation.
1t is not our job to side with China against japan
1t is our job, our definite pledged responsibility, to
side with the American treaties against Japan or any
other violator. If America herself will respect the
treaties they be saved.
That is the issue. What happens to Manchura
IS OF minor Importance. What happens to the worlds
peace machinery is terribly important

Heavy Burden Of Praise

A ND in particular the Harvard
L A captain, Barry Wood, was rem
dered less than effective by being
made the target for too much praise.
He was pictured in the press and
sometimes on the air as a sort of
cross between young Shelley and
Machiavelli.
He was credited with practically
a magical skill in tossing the ball.
The legend grew that Wood could
not lose and that he must prevail
even at the eleventh hour.
AS result, pleasant young man
and skillful player became self
conscious in the Yale game and held
his best attacking weapons until it
was too late. He, too, had become
imbued with the Barry Wood le-
gend. The football writer's made
him myth instead of man. And
so, instead of gambling in the early
stages, he sat back and did not be-
gin to ride until the finish line was
past.
I agree readily enough that
youngsters in the colleges should
not be held up to public scorn as
stupid or incompetent. This tends
to bruise the ego. But it is just
as true that many football stars
have been spoiled not only for the
gridiron sport, but for any later

A Half Mile Down

WHETHER in the form of scrap
w iron, gold, or pearls, and
whether put there as a result of
human cussedness, or natural force,
treasure at the bottom of the sea
has lured men since the dawn of
consciousness, causing them not
only to take great risks but to make
great improvements.
Beebe has been down half mile
in his hollow steel ball designed to
withstand the enormous pressure,
and now Lake, inventor and build
er of submarines, proposes to walk
down a spiral stairway enclosed in
a f1ve-foot steel tube to the very
deck of the Lusitania.
At the lower end of this tube
there will be steel room, eight feet
wide, eight feet high and twelve feet
long, which can be converted into
an air-lock, and from which divers
can go out into the water, but which
will not be under pressure at other
times.
Lake says that he expects to enjoy
a smoke in that room, and to ex-
perience no more discomfort than
he would at the surface.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

IN AN article that strives to destroy the Washington
Siren myth which is printed in the current Serb
ners, Anne Hard assures us that women have very
little, if any, personal influence so far as changing
political opinion is concerned.
She denies, in short that our leaders in the
tona capital likely to trade their votes for the
smiles of any lovely lady lobbyist.
1 suspect that it is not only at Washington that
the men so hard-hearted.
A good deal of the talk about persuading men to
desert principle to change their stand the city
council because of the destinations of designing
dame is largely bunk, and always has been.
Women, 1t is true, have nurtured this pretty
thought since left them sitting in such attering
spotlight and endowed them with the power they do
not posses. From it that long-lived and
ridiculous propaganda about the Power Behind the
Throne That, as you know, supposed to be a
feminine monopoly.
L VERIFYING we got, too we had to acquire with
IL our school girl compilations, our fair FORMS and
falling before these concerted charms of in
droveS.
Yet the author of 1.-The Sirens of Washington"
probably is correct in all her theories. have no
doubt that not one of all these men who rule the
destinieS of the nation but would prefer his party
favors to those of any lady.
The bitter truth is that have far less influence
on men everywhere than fondly imagine.
Yet of that We should be glad, because this old
idea did not give us very exact picture of women
and rather a distorted of men,
1t left us without honesty and them without prin-
ciple. 1t denied us the possession of candor and
stripped of the garments of common decency, eX-
posing us as rather unpleasant frauds.
For If we used admiration or I'VE merely for the
purpose Of diverting from the true convictions
then we were unworthy of their respect and friend
ship.

Steel Made Speedily

IRON ore first comes from the
L blast furnace in the form of pig
iron" This is really an alloy Of
iron, carbon and silicon. 1t is brit
tie and weak.
Industrial demands make it nee
essary to change it into tougher
forms The old processes of max
ing wrought iron or steel from pig
iron were both slow and expensive.
But the Bessemer process ushered
in a new day.
THE Bessemer process converts
pig iron to steel by blowing air
through the liquid alloy and burn
ing the carbon and silicon, the
whole operation consuming but
few minutes" says DR.. Jeffries. =,
THE operation of Bessemer
converter is still a spectacle in the
steel plant, especially at night. The
open hearth furnace, at white
heat, makes the conversion from
pig iron to steel in a few hours by
adding iron ore to eliminate most
of the carbon and silicon.
THE refined steel then is poured
into large ingots, which, when hot,
are reduced to commercial sizes and
shapes in large rolling mills and
presses or hammers. One of these
large hammers is the equivalent of
the old-fashioned blacksmith mag
nified one thousand times.
Cheap steel thus made available
in nearly any shape or size solved
the problem Of railroad expansion
and then became the foundation Of
a great building industry, a great
pipe and tubing industry and even
tually revolutionized bridge and
ship construction.
Later the automobile provided a
great demand for many metal prod
ucts, but especially stimulated the
development Of alloy steels.
Similarly, the electrical industry
was built around copper, and now
the aircraft industry is being built
around aluminium.
"All industries, however, use di-
rectly or indirectly practically all
of the metals and alloys available"
