IN THE SPOTLIGHT

CALIFORNIA; political forest fire, which
seemed to have reached its peak last
week with the primary election, has ap-
parently jumped out of control and de-
veloped into a national conflagration
which can be expected to roar from now
until the general election in November
Within the last few days we have had
Mr.. Hoover's first comment on national
affairs since his retirement. 1t brought
sharp answers from Secretary Ickes and
other Democratic leaders. Simultan-
eously with Mr.. Hoover's article came
blast from Senator Hiram Johnson,
praising the administration and the new
deal"
Yesterday gave us the spectacle of Up
ton Sinclair, Democratic candidate for
governor of California, sitting down to
tea with Mr.. Roosevelt for a two hour
discussion of policies. Not politics, for
politics was supposed to be tabooed.
Was it?
Sinclair left the Presidents home with
big smile on his face, announcing that
the conference, originally intended for
an hour, had stretched into two at the
wish of the President. Sinclair S atti-
thde as he departed is taken as an indi-
cation that he has at least the tacit ap-
proval of the administration as its Cali
fornia leader, if not its actual endorse
ment.
Hoover-J Johnson-Sinclair, all Califor-
mans, loom as three of the chief politi-
cal figures in the country.
Whether we realize it or not, the po-
litical eyes of this nation are upon Cal
ifornia and we will continue to be in the
spotlight until the November election is
decided.
In other words, the election of Cal
fornia governor is not going to be re-
stricted to state affair. The entire ma
ton is interested in it. Another way of
saying it is that California is ION the
spot" She is on trial before the other
az states?
Is she going to accept the radicalism
of Sinclair with its high-sounding theor-
les which, as is so often the case with
theories, are more than likely to develop
into burst bubble, or is she going to
continue practical and accept the prac-
tical leadership of Frank F. Merriam?
That is up to the voters of California.
They have the choice to make and upon
their decision rests the welfare of their

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
BOB BIRD

Once upon a time when Uncle
Wiggily was walking in the scrub
pine woods back of his seashore
cottage, he heard what he thought
was a voice calling:
bob! Bob WHITE!' The last
name White,'' was called much
more loudly than the first name
"Bob.'
"Ha! Hal" laughed Uncle Wig
gily as he hoped along, his pink
nose twinkling like a strawberry ice
cream cone. "that bird can't fool
me! I suppose he thinks III take
him for boy in the woods, calling
to another boy named Bob White.
But I am not so easily fooled by
the Bob Bird
Truly, if you had been with I'm
Gle Wiggily in the scrub pine woods,
you might have thought 1t was a
boy calling to another by the name
of Bob White. For, every once in
a while. there would be heard:
bob! Bob WHITE! Bob! Bob
WHITElo
Again Uncle Wiggily laughed and
said:
"Come on out, Bob Bird!'

LEADING PAPERS COMMENT ON
MAGAZINE ARTICLE BY HOOVER

NEW YORK, Sept. 5. U.R)-Edi-
torial comment on former Presi-
dent Hoover's magazine article in
the Saturday Evening Post:
New York Times-'Mr. Hoover s
outline of the historic struggle for
liberty throughout the world :.
is spirited ana deeply felt. His abb
stract doctrine is well conceived
and established. Only when he
comes to the practical application
of it will he arouse controversy.
There is no denying that his
enumeration of the extraordinary
powers granted to the President by
congress makes, despite his dis
Chalmers, bold and frontal attack
on the Roosevelt administration. :.
1t is unfortunate, though newt
able. that personal and partisan re-
elimination will be provoked by
what Mr.. Hoover has written :.
Both Hoover and Roosevelt agree,
however, that liberty is too price
less a boon to be carelessly thrown
away; and that the tried methods
of government should be restored
as soon as poSsible.'
New York Herald Tribune Mr.
Hoover offers to the country the
impersonal and philosophical re-
Elections on politics of thoughtful
man in retirement. He shows
why a planned economy can be put
into effect only by the sacrifice of
the rights of the individual. =. l..
Mr.. Hoover's views are those of an
old fashioned liberal, firmly devot-
ed to that philosophy of govern
ment which evolved the constitu-
ton and to the social philosophy
under which the United States
grew strong. In so far as he is
unwilling to see either modified he
will arouse the scorn of the "new
Dealers" 1t is of particular
interest to note the obvious dis

San Quentin prison, urging the
temporary release of Tom Mooney
so that he can attend his mother S
funeral, it was said here today by
the national committee for the de-

Uncle Wiggily of the Bob Bird
"Oh, suppose she is teaching
the young birds how to fly, how to
look for berries and seeds to cat

birds that they must learn to
whistle Bob! Bob WHITE! as I do.
You know" said the quail to Uncle

Noted Botanist

she had swallowed poison, presum-
ably because Of i'll health.
The botanist, who joined the Vi

teaching at Ohio State university,
left a note concerning post-mortem
directions. 1t offered no explana-

FEDERAL AID
To Be GIVEN
COTTON MEN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. W.R)-
Acting to aid cotton farmers in
drought stricken areas, Henry A.
Wallace, secretary of agriculture,
today announced creation of ma
tional pool to 1aciiitaJe sale and
purchase of tax exemption certifi-
Gates issued under the Bankhead
cotton control bill.
Wallace fixed the price of four
cents pound on the amount of
cotton which the tax certificates
represent. This figure is approx
imately TO per cent of the tax of
SGT cents a pound imposed by the
act on the ginning of cotton.
Under provisions of the Bank
head act all cotton farmers
throughout the south were allotted
a specific production which was
tax exempt. Certificates were is
sued to the planters which they
were to present with their cotton
at the gin. AS many cotton crops
were seriously damaged or wiped
out by the drought in the south
west, farmers in that area held
tax exemption certificates repre-
senting much more cotton than
they actually produced
Wallace announcement today
insures these farmers of at least
four. cents a pound for the cotton
which they were entitled to pro-
duce but, which will not come on
the market because Of drought con-
ditions.
Producers in other sections of the
south which were not hit by the
drought will purchase the exemp-
ton certificates.

with grayish brown feathers and a
plump body. AS he flew he called
again:
'fBobl Bob WHITE!"
"Well, here you are again, Bob
Birdlo laughed the rabbit gentle
man as the quail, for such was the
real name of the bird, perched OH
a tree near Mr.. Longears. The
reason the pine trees were called
scrubs wasn't because they scrub
bed the kitchen floor with their
brown cones.
1t was because the trees were
small and rough and gnarled and
they looked something like an old
scrubbing brush that has lost halt
its bristles. The scrub pines were
not at all tall and stately and with
long green needles on them like,
perhaps. the pine trees that grow
in the woods where you live. The
pines near Uncle Wiggily's IS seashore
cottage were stunted and looked
very old. For many years they
had been blown upon by strong sea
winds. The wind had twisted the
branches of the scrub pines until
they looked like knotted ropes.
In one of these scrub pnes perch
ed the quail, or Bob Bird, as Uncle
Wiggily called him, because the
quail's song sounded like: Bob
Bob WHITE!" Perhaps you may
think it strange TO call what the
quail said q "song" But differ
ent birds sing in different ways.

CANAL DELAY ESSENTIAL

Whlle 1t is disappointing to many val
ley residents, to learn that construction
OF the All-American canal on a large
scale will not be started for from 60 to
80 days, this announcement, made YES
terday by representatives of the con-
tractors, gives an indication of the mag
nitude of the job.
The layman finds difficulty in Wis
ualizing the immense amount of detailed
preparation that must be gone through
before work on such large contract
can get under way.
There are thousand and one things
which must be done, and only long ey-
perlence and highly efficient training in
his profession enables the contractor to
foresee them. There is much more in
volved than merely digging and dispos-
ing of what is dug If that were all to
the job the canal would not take long to
build.
We confess that much of the detail is
unknown to us. However, we have faith
in the contractor. He knows his busi-
ness or he would not have been given the
Job. He is just as anxious to get start
ed and complete the work as any canal
booster is.
