1t was suggested repeatedly that
the court decision merely climaxed
a growing popular establishment
with the Blue Eagle, and that the

decision, laid himself open to the
charge that he seeks 70 change our
form of government in such way
as to make the president himself
more powerful than either the leg

the government.
Coupled with this, there was dis
played in some quarters a DISPOSE

Two Outstanding Issues

II the attitude evident at the
grass roots convention wins the
support Of republican leaders on a
national scale, It is apparent that
the republican party in 1885 will
campaign:
Against dictatorship and bu-
reaucracy, and for the constitu-

states and individuals.
Against Roosevelt personally
as an autocrat who would trans
form our traditional form of gov
eminent in his quest for power.

No Favored Glass.

Some years ago a wealthy alumnus Of
o certain American university left a
considerable portion of his estate to
found a school of journalism. The
trustees of the institution perforce were
obliged to choose instructors for the
new establishment. Men with valid
academic claims were selected. But
graduates of the first few classes found
1t difficult to obtain positions. Managing
editors told them they needed practical
experience. A change Of policy, then,
was indicated as desirable. And it was
initiated with distinctive forthrightness.
Veteran newspaper writers were enlisted
as teachers Not one of the number was
possessed of a diploma. All they knew
was what they had learned on the firing
line of their profession. Yet their pupils
had no trouble getting jobs
Perhaps traditional doctrine OF folk
philosophy is involved in such matters.
In a democracy, anyway, it commonly is
believed that actual training is to be
preferred to theoretical training. People
who really can do things customarily are
more highly regarded than those who
merely have ideas about how to do them.
The difference, it seems, is factually i'm
portant in terms of results. A call of the
roll of great American characters pro-
yides evidence of the small part which

Put Governors on Motors
OF the Chronic Speeders

To the Editor Of The Star:
A United States Senator recently an
nounced he would initiate legislation de-
signed to compel automobile manufac-
turers not to manufacture cars capable
of greater speed than certain arbitrary
limit set by Congress.
Such legislation manifestly would
work a serious hardship on manufac-
turers, for besides the necessity Of re-
designing motors it would result in
slowing down, if not a practical diSap-
pearance, of new car purchases. Most
drivers would prefer to drive their old
cars to the purchase of the new low
speed vehicles In any event the law
would have no immediate practical effect.
If something of this nature must be
done to curb Speeders a practical Solu-
ton would be found in compelling car
owners found guilty of speeding to install
a speed governor on their motors, the
governors to be sealed by the police and
the operators licenses Endorsed accord
ingly. Besides eliminating these drivers
from the role of speeders such a law
would prove an effective deterrent to

Chicago Makes Time.

Chicago has adopted Eastern standard
time Decision to that effect was reached
yesterday, when the City Council, by a
vote Of forty-four to three, declared that
hereafter the clocks shall be set in accord
with those of Detroit. which is just in
side the Eastern" zone line, and New
York. which is we'll within the zone.
Chicago itself is two hundred miles west
of the zone boundary. The councilmen
were so set on changing the time that
they would not even consider an amend
ment for a referendum to the people on
the subject.
When the United States was zoned for
time in 1884 Chicago was included in the
Central section, one hour earlier in clock
reckoning than Washington. Since 1922
it has had daylight saving" which,
during the period Of clock changing, gave
it the same time as Washington, which
has not had daylight saving for a con-
siderable period-and only had it briefly
at that In the course of the debate
before the council in Chicago it was
urged that the mail carriers, milk wagon
drivers and other workers who arise be-
fore daylight were opposed to the change,
while public and parochial school officials
and child specialists favored it. One

new rule called 1t "fooling with the

Florida's Storm Visitation.

Florida's latest visitation from the
sea in the form of hurricane has passed
out to the Gulf after sweeping the tip
of the peninsula, taking four lives and
destroying property to the extent OF
about a million and a half dollars.
Compared with some of the previous
storms that have ragged over this ex-
posed territory, the devastation has
been moderate.
The early reports of the storm, as it
came roaring athwart the Bahamas,
were such as to cause the gravest anxi-
ETY.. The wind velocity was at such a
point as to threaten an enormous de-
struction when it hit the coast. At an
estimated rate of 135 miles an hour,
this was one of the most furious dis
turbances ever known to have been
generated in that cauldron Of seamens S
sorrows that lies to the east and south
of Cuba.
There is, however, no exact reckon
ing upon the performances OF these
storms. Some of them gain in force as
they approach the shore, while others
abate in their fury. While their courses
can be approximately plotted in advance,
after several reports have been received
to indicate the rate of the wind, the
direction of the center and the rate OF
progress, they have a perplexing way OF
suddenly departing from both course
and degree of intensity. Now they
weaken as they come swirling in toward
the land, and again they pick up in
their intensity. This latest storm seemed
to have abated somewhat when it hit
the coast.
AS rule, the storms which spin
toward the shore from the western end
of Cuba from the Gulf of Mexico carry
less dynamic power than those that
originate in more northerly waters and
skirt the upper Cuban coast. Both
kinds, however, are sufficiently dam
gerouS to cause great anxiety when they
are first observed, and warning is given
OF their approach. The storms from the
more westerly area Of the Caribbean
usually sweep their way northward, gen.
orally following the coast OF the con-
tinent. The easterly generating disturb
ances ordinarily cut across the Florida
peninsula and dissipate themselves In
the western Gulf. This latest disturb
ance has been of the latter variety.
Florida lies in an exposed position as
regards both of these classes of storms
and suffers accordingly. 1t has excep-
tional attractions of climate as place
of resort and pleasure, but those very
attractions have their disadvantages in
that they are to some extent incident
to vagaries that from time to time cause
distress. May it be hoped that this
latest visitation, which, in comparison
with past performances of the elements
in that region has done but little harm,
will be the only one Of the season which
is Just opening.

difhcult "Jlg-sa puzzle job ever under
taken, but the reward was one of the
greatest forward steps yet taken in
American archaeology. There was a rec
ord of every year since Pueblo Bonita
had been built. 1t was almost as good
as If there had been a written calendar
record.
One Of the most important links be-
tween the past and the present was the
Oldest continuously inhabited town in
the United States, the ancient Pueblo Of
Oraibi, in Arizona. Indians were living
there when the Spaniards came. They
are still living there. and in the same
houses. But in the centuries there has
been good deal Of repairing and patch
ing. Old timbers have rotted away and
been replaced. Some Of those used by
the original builders still are retained.
Thus there was a rich field Of over
tapping sequences starting with the pres
ent and stretching backward several hun
dred years toward the Pueblo beginnings.
The complete report of Dr. Douglass
work in building up this l,2o0-year cal
endar has just been made public by the
National Geographic Society.
-
The completed chronology tells most
clearly the story of the weather through
the centuries when these ancient cul-
lures existed.
The trees grew at the edge Of the
desert. They were quite sensitive to
changes in rainfall. AS the record is read
by DR.. Douglass, there were great drought
cycles in the region. which profoundly
affected the lives of the inhabitants.
During each drought building diminish
ed. The most difficult gaps to fill were
those represented by timbers of the
drought periods. The obvious deduction
Is that the people were plunged into
great economic depressions when home
building was nearly impossible. And
there always were revivals when the
rains came again.
The tree rings show that probably the
greatest drought exer experienced in the
history Of the Southwest extended for
% years, between 1875 and 1899. It was
associated with extensive disturbances.
shown by other evidence, in the lives Of
the people. Then the rains came again
and history continued with minor UPS
and downs for 300 years. Then came
another terrible drought, between 1873
and 1893. Another 300 years before the
devastating drought came again, between
1896 and 1904.
Specifically this indicates a 30O-year
drought cycle. If this is reality there
should have been a major dry period
about the year 1000 The tree ring
record does not show this at all clearly.
However, DR.. Douglass says, this is the
most unsatisfactory period in the whole
chronology. The rings are harder to
read than at any other time.
Between the great droughts there were
periods of from two to ten years of
minor droughts which must have been
tragic enough to the inhabitants of the
Southwest at the time. They did not
however. completely disrupt the ways
of life as did the extended dry times
when the land must have been turned
into an almost uninhabitable desert.
