CHANGING POLITICAL STANDARDS

State politics occupied a bit of the
spotlight this week when two leading
figures-Upton Sinclair and Hiram john
son-were reported seeking political hon.
ors under the Democratic standard next
year.
Sinclair, for years a Socialist, and
many times candidate for governor of
California on the Socialist ticket, has reg
lstered as a Democrat, with the avowed
purpose of seeking that party's guberna-
torial nomination on platform that con-
tains a good many Socialistic ideas.
Johnson, who repudiated the Repub-
lican party last year, to support the
Roosevelt candidacy, comes up for re-
election as United States senator in 1884
and has been invited to run as Demo-
crat. There is small chance that john
so will be given the Republican nomina-
ton in view of his desertion OF the party.
Even were he to do so he would be placing
his head in the lions mouth, for he would
thereby be forced to battle Democrat
for the office and be compelled to oppose
the political stand which he took last
year.
He may possibly go the limit and ac-
cept the Democratic nomination, but this
would be certain to turn against him
whatever Republican support he may
justly claim and would not serve to pour
any oil on the troubled Democratic wa
tiers. There are too many dyed-in-the-
wool Democrats seeking public office to
let such a plum go to Johnson without
protest.
The alternative is to run as an indepen-
dent candidate, which might be john
sons best bet. but would still leave him
open to opposition from regular Repuo-
lican and regular Democrat. Such
condition might be to his advantage, as it
splits up the vote and gives better op-
portunity for Johnson's admitted per-
sonal popularity to get full play.
Sinclair claims to have been ap-
preached by leading Democrats whose
identity thus far remains dark Again it
is not likely that the dyed-in-the-wool va
riety will meekly submit to an outsider
being given the gubernatorial nomina-
tion.
The political desires of Sinclair and
Johnson will add plenty of color to the
1884 campaign. That they are colorful
cannot be denied.
We doubt that Sinclair can muster the
necessary strength to be dangerous COM
petition to the Republican party. AS for
Hiram-he is Hiram-and the G. 0. P.
will do we'll to admit that he is danger
Gus and start the battle now.

ed Democrats also were deserving.
Two job hunters drove up from
Georgia recently. They made for
the NRA. AT closing time that day
they were short of the employment
office door by six applicants. They
stood in line the next day with the
same result. But they noticed that
several NRA officials in shirt
sleeves and with papers in their
hands were able to push into the
office at any time.
So the next day they left their
coats in their car. Each stuck a
pencil behind an ear, and grabbing
a pad of scratch paper, made for
the office. The doorkeeper let them
by. Both got Jobs.
Then there is the experience OF a

MEXICO CELEBRATES

Mexico today observes the 123rd ami
versary of its independence from Spain
! While some authorities give September
| Is, 1910, as the date of the independence
| proclamation, September l6 is the date
| more generally recognized
independence was declared by Hidalgo
priest who led a small band of patriots
who sought to throw off the Spanish
yoke. He was defeated in 1911 and exc
cuted, his fate being made particularly
sad by the fact that like so many other
patriots he was betrayed by those whom
he wished to help.
Morelos, another priest, took up the
leadership which death had wrested from
Hidalgo, and continued the warfare
against Spain until 1915 when he follow
ed the same path taken by Hidalgo.
Thereafter guerilla warfare was waged
against the mother country until in 1921
the capital city was surrendered by
O'Donoju, a Spaniard of Irish descent
and the last of the viceroys.
MeXico's independence was established,
but it was only the beginning of long
years of turmoil, strong stable govern
ment not being established until the ad-
vent of Diaz in 1876. Thereafter, until
1911, and the MADEIRA revolution, he ruled
with a brief interruption in the eighties.
The history of Mexico since then is
comparatively we'll known to most Amer
leans.
1t will be seen that Mexico had even a
longer struggle for liberty than did the
people of the United States, and bloody
years followed the effort to form an in
dependent country Yet the Mexican
people have kept their independence in
tact and have succeeded in forming
government which rules-not through
subiugation of the people but through
their cooperation.
1t is pity that so many Americans,
living so close to Mexico, take such little
interest in its history, its people and its
struggles. Quite often the Americans
attitude toward them is not only un-
friendly but openly hostile. Yet MeXi-
cans cordially welcome friendliness from
Americans.
Celebration of Mexican independence
will bring together many MeXicans and
Americans in border community pro-
grams. 1t is to be hoped that out of these
will come better understanding with
our Mexican neighbors and kindlier at
titude toward them.
Leaders of India agree that indepen-
dence is the goal for which to work
Maybe yes, but we are independent too
Or think we are.
