PRESIDENT HOOVER is coming home
! to California to vote.
The announcement should be pleasing
10 members of his party in this state
and indeed to all Californians. 1t is
asking too much, perhaps, on the eve of
election to expect those opposed to his
reelection to break into cheers at the IN
nouncement of his coming, but we have
sufficient confidence in the respect the
people of California have for the high
office of President of the United States,
to believe that he will be cordially greet
ed during his stay in his home state.
Regardless of political differences,
and even of the fact that his visit here
cannot be divorced from politics, Mr..
Hoover is the President and as such is
entitled to the respect and courtesy of
all citizens.
We can understand how political ami
mostly may make men say harsh things
and possibly under pressure to believe
them to be true. But we also believe
that his fellow-citizens of California are
big enough to keep their politics in one
place and their courtesy in another.
We concede the right of any citizen to
vote against Mr.. Hoover if he so desires.
That is his privilege, but we do not con-
cede that it is the right of any citizen
at any time to show disrespect to the
President of the United States. And we
can see how citizen may with the
greatest claim to consistency, applaud
and cheer the President as he appears in
public, and then vote against him in his
polling place if his conscience dictates
the latter action.
1t is foolish to hope that there will be
no boots or jeers for Mr.. Hoover. They
have been the lot of practically every
President of the United States, not ex-
cepting the great Washington. There
must always be some so bound by pre-
JUDGE and hate that they cannot be gen.
tlemen. But we do hope that such in
stances will be few during the Presi-
dents stay in California.
1t is well to take politics seriously, but
not too seriously. We might reflect fire.
quently on the fact that we are all cit
liens of the United States, Mr.. Hoover,
Mr.. Roosevelt and every individual Re
publican, Democrat, Socialist or Prohlb-
itionist. AS such we should not forget
the dignity that goes with citizenship nor
the fact that the constitution gives each
man the right to live his own life in his
own way, but does not sanction his con-
demning the other fellow because they
do not agree.
All of US can afford to be courteous
and he only cheapens himself who is
discourteous.

MANY RETURN
ACROSS L INE
FROM MEXICO

Economic conditions IN Mexico
pressing heavily upon the residents
of Baja California have brought
about an increased desire on the
part of Mexicans already deported
once to their own country to re-
turn to the United States.
This was the comment of Jailer
Edward r. Nett at the sheriff's
office today as he reviewed the
number of prisoners taken recent
ly by immigration authorities, not
ing those who returned across the
international line after having been
deported on a federal court order.
At present the Imperial coun-
ty Jail holds IL Mexican prisoners
coming under this classification,
awaiting deportation for the second
time, preceded by harsh Jail SEN
tence.
Many have been deported on
warrants, with orders never to re-
turn. and some second offenders
have been given voluntary depor-
tation,' under which they may re-
enter the United States by legal
means.

CHICAGO'S DILEMMA

NO better example of the muddle into
IN which law enforcement has been per-
mitted to drift could be cited than the
arrest In Chicago of 10 of the city's most
notorious gangsters.
Their headquarters was in the citys
largest office buildings, and resembled
that of legitimate corporation, except
Tor the slight detail that guns were on
the desks instead of the usual inkwells.
In the same building is housed the or
ganization sponsoring the Secret Six,
founded to war on gangsters, a choice
bit of gangster irony.
All of the men taken into custody are
known as gangsterS and racketeers vet
the police were at a loss to know what
to do with them for there appeared to
be no charges that could be placed
against them. They were credited with
being the henchmen of Al Capone, now
serving term in a federal prison-not
Tor his many known crimes of force but
for evasion of income tax payment.
The police who took them into custody
apparently were looking for somebody
else and Numbered onto the group. They
realized that their prisoners would not
be in custody long before the lawyers
would be around with writs of habeas
corpus, the legal document designed to
prevent illegal detention of citizens but
which has really proved the instrument
that blackjacks law enforcement.
What happened or may happen in
Chicago, is equally true of any large
city in the country and occurs daily.
These men are known criminals, yet
they. escape trial and punishment for
their crimes. At the same time some
poor man hungry and impoverished
through his inability to get work, can
be jailed for begging or for stealing
enough food to keep himself and his
family from starving.
Law enforcement does not, as many
seem to believe, apply only to the 18th
amendment. But it has been rendered
difficult to maintain in many other
lines primarily because of the inability
of the nation to enforce the Volstead
act.

MUSIC PART OF EVERY DAY LIFE

L. Douglas Russell, national
chairman of music week for the
State of Arizona. has urged all
club presidents and all organiza-
tions to encourage music pro-
grams at their meetings for the
week of May 1 to z.
That music is becoming more
and more an integral part of
every day tife of the American
people is attested by the annual
observance of the first week in
May as national Music week, "
said Mr.. Douglas.
The Importance of the move
ment is seen in the governmental
recognition given to it. The
honorary com mittee for the cele-
bration is headed by President
Hoover and includes the COVER
nors of neary every state in the
Union. A formal statement, or
proclamation, in honor of music
week was issued by 25 of the
governors last year. Governor
George w. P. Hunt is among
this list of governors. This year
marks the ninth celebration of
national Music week and the
dates include May l 10 z.
The interest taken in music
throughout the land is a reflex
of our civilization and culture.
When primitive wants are salts
fed man turns to aesthetic en-
joymeot. Music as a mode of
self expression Is unequalled.
In some 1000 cities or towns
throughout the land local com
mittees suggest to help people
get the thrill of hearing music,
making music, enjoying music.
No attempt is or should be made
to regulate the method locally
employed to make. hear aud
enjoy" There are grades OF
music and each community should
emphasize the type most gener-
ally agreeable to the majority
there. But rhythm and melody
have an instantaneous appeal
and are elemantaliy universal.
However, this year three sug
gestions are made: First, the
celebration of the Tooth an
| niversary of the writing of
America" by Dr.. Samuel F.
/ Smith: second, special tribute
to our national anthem. The
Star Spangled Banner" third i,
singing of certain musical phases
of the George Washington bi
centennial during national Music
week.
It is particularly fitting during
the present emergency that mu
sic be utilized as salutary form
of recreation. This year above
any of the eight that have pre-
ceded, music should be of ser.
vice as a vital force in human
life because of the period of
present stress.
1T is hoped that many activi
ties started during Music week
will continue to be a force for
good throughout the year after
the extra enthusiasm of Music
week shall have subsidized.
Each community in the state
has been urged to actively ob
serve national Music week again
this year. Where there are no
music clubs perhaps there is
some other club capable and
willing to sponsor Music week
In th event there should be
neither, the chamber Of com
merce should fuction in this ca
pacity. Give music an opportun
ity to serve" "-Arizona Republic,

u. s. SENATE WILL VOTE ON
BEER

Washington, April. senate
opportunity to vote on beer this
session was virtually assured to
day despite disapproval of the
Bingham bill to legalize 4 per
cent brew by the manufactures
committee.
Ia reporting the measure ad.
versely z to 4. committee mem.
bers agreed to let it go to the
senate floor.
Meantime, an official of the
American Federation of Labor
warned of a revolution" unless
the employing power of the beer
industry is revived but before
another senate subcommittee
Bishop James Cannon. Jr., said:
We are never going to sur
render"
rs it that you want revolu
ton 10 this country?' asked Mat
thew Woll. vice president of the
American Federation Of Labor,
in urging upon a senate judiciary
sub-com mittee the legalization
of 2.75 per cent beer.
The remarkable thing to me
is that labor has been so calm, so
conservative during this depres
sion. But let that condition con
tinue I'll not venture to say what
labor will do"
Bishop Cannon was a specta
tor as Woll sharply criticized
prohibitionists and asserted
labor resents the idea of the
church that condemns the labor
ing man as incapable of taking
care of his own conduct"
John P. Colpoys, secretary
treasurer of Labor's National
Committee for Modification of the
Volstead Act, which Woll heads,
said be had never seen anyone
whe has been prominent in the
advocacy of this law who has
not been a hypocrise of the first
water"
Bishop Cannon's turn came
late ia the day before another
judiciary subcommittee. There
be replied warmly to the charge
of hypocrisy as be and other
drys urged enactment of bills to
strengthen the Volstead act by
making the purchaser of liquor
equally guilty with the seller
and punish those who make wine
at home.
He said the members of his
church who have been referred
TO as hypocrites" favor streng
thening rather than weakening
the law.
Those testifying 10 behalf of
the bills to strengthen the Vol
stead act were Bishop Cannon,
Dr.. Clarence True Wilson of the
Methodist Board of Temperance,
Prohibition and Public Morals,
and Senator Sheppard, Demo
crat, Texas, sponsor of the legis
lation and co-author of the pro
hibition law.
Rufus Lusk, of the Crusaders,
anti-prohibition organization, re-
piled that to make the purchaser
of liquor law violator would
compel the jailing of two thirds
the population of the United
States in the first year.
Bishop Cannon and Dr.. Wilson
charged that the wealthy and
persons in high places" are re
sponsible for the existence of the
bootlegger and for crime because
they buy liquor. thus providing
bis source of funds.
Some even on the floor of the
United States senate" said Can
non, Haunt the law and con
tinue to purchase the liquor"
The purchaser, be said, must
be "branded as a criminal" as be
is equally hostile to the great
purpose of the 18Th amendment. "

THE ALARM-CAVE MEN OF The
NEANDERTHAL RACE.
BY SIR ARTHUR KEITH,
Author Of Concerning Mans Origin"

A LII the world has joined in the
" search for our remote ances-
II tors; almost every day dis
4 \ patches appear in the press
from distant countries an
nouncing the discovery of this and OF
that which throw light on the manner
in which men lived long ago and on
what kind of beings they were.
What, then. have been the recent
gains? They amount to this: COM
plete subStantiation of the modern an
thropologist's belief that there was a
time when no man possessed more than
he stood up in and that the mode OF
life of the highest was lower than that
OF the meanest of savages now, known
to us. And, seeing that man has ac-
complished so much in his long jour
ney up through the cons Of time and
that such improvements have been ef-
fected in his body and brain-tor
which he can claim no credit-are not
our anthropological gains heartenlng
for the years to come?
Not that human progress ever has
pursued a steady movement onward
and upward. Sir w. Flinders Petrie
Is right; civilization always has had
its cycles or waves; the wave Of prog
reSs, having reached its crest, invari-
ably sinks into the trough Of decline.
Nevertheless, If our view is wide
enough. we see that succeeding waves
always are higher than those which
died away in the more remote past.
Presently We shall have to consider
what point of the wave the mounting
civilization of the white man now has
reached-whether on or near the crest
but, meantime, let me direct attention
to the manner in which the search into
the past is being conducted We have
two armies in the field. One army,
having passed beyond the verge of
written history is pushing its campaign
into the prehistoric past by digging
Evening star., 1932-04-10

into the foundations of Egypt and of
Mesopotamia in order to reconstruct
the ancient and vanished civilizations
of these two lands.
Fights With Spades.
This army is seeking for the begin
nings of our city civilization, for the
city is the mark of our modern way
of living. 1t is an army which fights
its way into the past by means of the
spade. Last year, in Mesopotamia. it
succeeded in reaching the further
limit of the Fourth Millennium; but,
even at the date, 1000 B.C-four
years afte" the creation of man, ac-
cording to Archbishop Ussher's reck-
oning-cities already had been built
on the plain, it has been ascertained.
Mr.. Leonard Woolley discovered that
the first city of Ur was overwhelmed
by great flood about the end OF the
Fifth Millennium, or the beginning of
the Fourth. Our city civilization. then,
