MT. LAKE PARK
Fire Hydrants


1t seemed to be the irony of fate
that the fire hydrant located at the
corner just in front of the McClelland
property, where a fire occurred on
Saturday morning at an early hour;
had not yet been installed when the
fire occurred. 1t was about ready
to be placed when the work was halted
by the cold, rainy weather. However,
is it now in place.
On Tuesday afternoon just as soon
as the connection with the water main
was finished the Oakland Fire De-
partment, under the direction of Chief
Kerins, made test. It was found to
be all that was expected. The pres
sure was fine and a stream of water
was thrown above the tallest oak
trees in the vicinity.
There is a sufficient volume Of water
and the pressure is such that, when
the hydrants are placed in various
sections of the Park, Chief Kerins
expressed himself as being of the
opinion that the Oakland department
can successfully handle any fire that
may occur.
Another hydrant is now being in
SdllGu, d ItSU VI WillCh Will
be made this afternoon. Others will
be placed as soon as the finances of
the town will permit.
Shooting Season
A number of inquiries have been
made as to whether or not rabbits
may be killed in the Park. We are adj
vised by Town Clerk Martin that there
is no provision in the town ordinance
prohibiting the shooting of rabbits
within the corporate limits. However,
the practice may be dangerous unless
extreme care be taken not to aim
in the direction of houses or places
where people are in the habit of walk
ing or riding.
1t is we'll to remember that there
is an ordinance, carrying with it a
fine, for hunting or shooting squirrels
within the corporate limits. In fact,
a warrant may be issued today for a
man suspected Of violating that ordi-
nance.
Even though there was no ordinance
prohibiting their killing, squirrels in
the Park should not be molested.
Many householders feed them both
summer and winter and many are now
so tame that they will come within a
few feet of persons to be fed.

THE 20. P. FUTURE

The immediate future of the Re-
publican party was we'll summed up
on the night after the election by
Everett Sanders, the party's national
chairman, when he said:
"What of the Republican party? 1t
will become the minority party. 1t
repudiates none of it's policies, aban-
dons none of its principles. 1t apollo
gizes for no part of the matchless
record of the Hoover administration
or the traditions and records Of the
party throughout its rs years Of
existence. But as a minority party
it will not pettifog, it will not OBJ
struct any Democratic legislation or
executive proposal merely because it
bears the stamp of the Democratic
party"
There can be no gainsaying the
soundness of these statements. That
the Republican party will come back
and come back rapidly there can be
little doubt. Those who remember
the days of 1912, when the party
seemed permanently disorganized by
the great split, but came back
miraculously, will not have any doubt
about this. The ability of political
parties to recover rapidly is evidenced
by the fortunes of the Democracy
four years ago. Let it not be forgot
ten that in 1928 it's ranks were de-
moralized and it's political enemies
had split the solid South for the first
time in Civil War history.
The duty of the minority in the
coming Congress is clear. 1t must
and will not petifog or obstruct. 1t
must and will support all sound and
constructive measures put forward in
the interest of efficiency, economy,
and the defeat of depression. Its duty
will be to obstruct onlywhen measures
are proposed which are contrary to
the principles of sound economics and
American traditions.
That the Republican as temper
airy minority party will aid the
majority in constructive measures can
be judged by its record of the past.
In the Wilson administration it gave
heroic and needed help on critical oc-
casions during the World War. 1t
fought an obstructive battle only
when an effort was made to over
throw time honored American princi-
pies and place us in European politi-
cal entanglements and subsequent
history has proved that both in its
support of the administration, and in
its obstrution to European entangle-
ments it fought wisely and well.

Blocking Economy

The federal budget-balancng plan Is jeopardized
by the senate's unwlingness to accept economies 1t
did a fine job in putting through the tax BILL But
the job is not complete until economies allowed for
IN fixing the tax total, actually are made
One of the committee economies which the senate
has thrown out is s48714oOO for veterans Apparently
the lobby pressure too great The proposed
economy would not have touched general veterans
relief but only special items such as hospital and
other allowances for disease not contracted in the
service, and reducing the retirement allowances of
emergency officers with other incomes
AS pointed out in the debate about Is cents of
every dollar spent by the government goes to vet
erans Since there must be economies the relatively
small one applied by the committee to the vast vet
Grams outlay is only fair
On another fight from economy, the senate an
preparations committee provided summer vacation
camps for thousands of school boys and restored 1000
army officers which the house found unnecessary to
national defense The total cut in army expenditures
including public works, is only about one-third the
cut in interior department expenses
The Republican old guard is chiefly responsible for
blocking these economies. 1t is futile for the admin
israton to try to balance the budget with one hand
and at the same time unbaance the budget with the
other hand.

The End in Sight

When the party that sponsored the Wright bone
dry law and boosted that Indiana had the harshest
law Of any Of the states confesses failure Of that
law the end Of the prohibition experiment is in sight
1t is significant that the Anti-saloon League has
lost its power to terrorze either delegates or cand-
dates In fact every wise candidate knows that the
support Of that body which was once an essential to
election, is now most decided liability.
The Republican proposal to resubmit the eighteenth
amendment to the people is an advance It's decara-
ton in favor Of the amendment of the Wright law
to make it conform to any federal enforcement law
Is better.
When Arthur Gilliom, then attorney general, made
this proposal four years ago. he osracised by his
party associates and looked upon a hereto.
Even during the last session of the legislature,
when such a repeal proposed the power of the
fanatical drys great that members of the egs
lature were afraid to act
The law has always been monstrosty and never
enforced, except in cases when some individual
was under official disfavor.
The attitude of the Republican delegates indicates
that the rank and file have little sympathy with the
practices of the prohibition department.
1t is significant that there is enough Of fit
ness not to adjourn without attacking the law under
which the prohibition cheka obtained a sentence of
George Dale, mayor of Muncie.
It will be remembered that of the charges
on which Dale is under sentence to eighteen months
in Leavenworth was that he had brought liquor to
a Democratic convention. Dale denied it vigorously.
The evidence was scant but the charge served its
political purpose.
His chief of police is under sentence and the
main charge against him that he had taken
liquor to a convention of the American Legion at
Louisville.
Such precedent is dangerous The delegates must
recognize this There might come a time when it
will be unsafe for others than Democrats to bend
the prohibition law. That would be too bad

this would be terrible" thing
Recently Pershing was having another luncheon in
France. Prohibition had been put over" while the
boys were overseas and his country had tried it TO,

Prohibition undoubtedly is the basis of the rack
