NEW MINISTER
GIVES PRAISE
TO CHAM BE r

"A live chamber OF commerce is
wonderful asset to a community.
Nothing will assure a progressive
spirit in community more than
an up-to-date organization, COM
posed of live, active men," stated
Rev. 1. T. Raab, new pastor of the
Presbyterian church at the Ell Cen
tro Chamber of Commerce luncheon
yesterday. Rev. Raah cited incidents
in his experience, stressing the
growth of Seattle, as an example
of what can be accomplished for
the development of a community
If the chamber of commerce and
the men who compose it are pro-
greSsive.
The speaker stated that he was
impressed by the independence OF
those who make up the population
OF Imperial Valley. In industrial
communities, he stated, the resi-
dents are dependent upon factories
for their prosperity and this neces-
States frequent periods of hard
times when factories are forced to
close. In mining communities cor
porations control economic condi-
tions, but in an agricultural COM
munity, such as this, the citizens
are dependent to a great extent
upon their own efforts, and, what
is even more important, the farm
er is independent and dictated to
by no group nor corporation.
Ell Centro's fine, large stores and
business buildings were remarked
upon by the speaker, who stated
that the business men of this COM
munity must be progressive to bund
up the businesses which they have
with attractive goods, large stocks
OF merchandise, and modern dis
plays. But" stated the speaker, "in
order to make an attractive COM
munity we must have more than
material assets. We have schools
and churches and we must not ov-
erlook the instruction of the child
ren and young people in those
things which build up character,
We must turn to the teachings of
the Great Teacher, which are the
only rules for the general conduct
OF human society. The disregard OF
these rules is what has cause our
present economic and political con-
dition and we must turn to them
once more if we are to build a sue
cessful and happy social, political
and economic structure"
Hugh T. Osborne told of the I'm
perial Highway meeting held last
week in El Centro, and stated that
recent survey he made of the
southern end of this highway much
impressed him with its scenic and
historical value. He and Mayor
John T. Rice conducted a survey,
which Osborne stated revealed that
the building of the Imperial High
way in Imperial county would not
entail a great deal of work or ex-
penSe.

Residents Warned
AUay From Desert

Because a marine detachment
stationed at Yuha Wells, west of
Mt. Signal and south of Coyote
Wells, began target practice this
morning with three inch guns and
French 75's, Sheriff George L.
Campbell today issued a warning
10 all residents of Imperial Valley
against making any trips into that
section during the two weeks the
marines are there.
Under Captain G. w. LeGette,
the marine gunners are occupying
for the first time, the 15-mile tar
get range set aside by the super
viSors for their use. Camp was
made Saturday night, and the
range preparing for firing this
morning.
Clear atmospheric conditions and
deceptive distances make the new
ly established range ideal for ex-
perimental purposes, while the de-
serted desert country will give the
marines a clear field in which to
carry on their practice and exper-
imentS.

Objects to Designation of
New Junior High School

To the Editor Of The Star
In your issue of September II, 1882
IN report of the substance of a talk
over WMAL the day before by the sec
retary of the Board of Education. the
following appears:
Buildings contemplated in the near
future, he said, include the new ele-
mentary school at FoXhall Village and
the new william Howard Taft Junior
High School. in the Wcodridge-Lang-
don section of Northeast Washington, "
etc
The definite location of this new
junior high school is north of Rhode
Island avenue near Eighteenth and
Quincy streets northeast, and it should
have been so stated.
Both Woodbridge and Langdon are
lawfully located south Of Rhode Island
avenue northeast. the nearest point to
this new school site in either of them
being at least three-quarters of a mile
away.
This new junior high school site is
much nearer to Brookland. Villa Park
and Sherwood, all of them lawful Sec

careful in the use of such names VIXEN
they realize that private property rights

Psychoanalysis in the Dock.

During the past twenty years attacks
upon the theory of psychoanalysis have
been numerous, but they have not been
particularly effective. Theologians have
indicted its atheistic quality. Socioli
ogists have arraigned its anarchistic
influence. But it remained for psychol-
ogists to put it in the dock. This, at
last, has been done.
There is a certain poetic justice in
the fact that 1t is French scientists who
have done the work, for it was in France
that Sigmund Freud Of Vienna devel-
oped his weird and immoral notions
concerning the mental and spiritual
character of man His ideas were not
new. On the contrary. they were very
old They we're concepts which society
had outgrown and rejected through a
long process of evolution. Freud
rephrased and reaSserted them.
Naturally, his psychological studies
met with immediate oisapproval on
the part of his colleagues. But there
was no one available to do to them
what Bernard Shaw so capably did te
the equally absurd doctrines OF Lom-
broso and Max Nordau. Freud took
full advantage Of his opportunity HI

the Democratic nominee. II is high time
that Gov. Roosevelt let the country
into his confidence on this matter.
Probably the veterans demanding the
bonus payment would be glad to know
how he stands, too, before they go to
the polls in November, The New York
Times, which is supporting Gov. Roose-
velt, has expressed the firm conviction
that Roosevelt will be opposed to the
immediate cash payment Of the bonus.
But that is not the voice of Roosevelt
himself.
Whatever the reason for Mr. Smiths
withholding his active support of the
Roosevelt Garner ticket-and many rea-
sons have been assigned-his silence
has been a thorn in the side Of the
Democrats in New England, New York
and New Jersey. Many emissaries
have gone to Mr. Smith on behalf of
Gov. Roosevelt. Speaker Garner him
self essayed the task Of appeasins the
former Democratic standard-bearer.
But so far there has been no pro-
Roosevelt statement from Mr.. Smith.
Democrats in New York close to Mr..
Smith have indicated that he is likely
to continue to say nothing about the
national ticket although he may speak
for Lehman, If he Is nominated for
Governor of New York, and he may de-
liver a speech for Gov. Ely Of Massa-
chusetts.

The Silence of Al Smith.

The silence Of Alfred e. Smith is
deepening. Mr.. Smith, it is now an
nounced, has decided not to write an
article on The Democratic Case" for
the Saturday Evening Post. No reason
is vet assigned for his change Of plan
and the public is left wondering wheth-
er Mr.. Smith has no intention OF de-
Tending and supporting the Democratic
national ticket-Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
welt and Speaker John N. Garner-or
whether he will use some other vehicle
for his expression, possibly the new Out
look, Of which he is now editor
The announcement that Mr.. Smith
will not write The Democratic Case, !"
as heretofore advertised, is dash Of
cold water on the heads Of Democrats
greatly enthused by the victory OF their
subernatorial and two Of their con-
gressional candidates in Names elec-
tion. AL Smiths enthusiastic support
of the Roosevelt Garner ticket would
be worth more to the Democrats today
than the victory in the Maine State elec-
tions. 1t has been the hope Of the
party leaders for weeks that Mr.. Smith
would change his attitude and come
forward with real fervor to the sup
port of the national ticket. Again,
it appears, the cup has been dashed
from their lips. But there is yet time.
Even an eleventh-hour speech from the
idol Of thousands Of Democrats would
give Joy to the Roosevelt supporters.
In an article published in the cur
rent issue of the Saturday Evening
Post Mr.. Smith gave his views boldly
on the soldiers bonus, saying that he
opposed. the present payment of the
bonus. At the same time he declared
that 1t was Uncomfortable that candi-
dates for President should not state

No justification
OF Mob Rule

From the Oklahoma City Times.
Although there is widespread sympa-
thy for the farmers strike, selling
holiday designed to raise the price of
farm products TO figure comparable
to the cost of production, there can be
no general approval of mob violence in
furthering that program. If organiza-
tion and general agreement can with
hold farm products from market until
the price advances, the strike MY prove
beneficial to agriculture, and. indirectly
and later, beneficial to industry and
commerce. But If there is division of
interest and purpose, and violence is
needed to keep farm products from con-
sumers, then the movement is fairly
sure to fail, with nothing more accom-
plished than added emphasis placed on
the sad plight Of the farmers. -"
There are many farmers who will not
join the association. Their rights. un-
der the law, should be protected, as
should those of the strikers. Whatever
this program can accomplish, its back
ers should strive for their goal by peace
full and honorable means.
