Edward L. DOheny.

Edward L. Doheny belonged to
school of American industrial leaders
which now is becoming extinct. He was
born in Wisconsin In 1856 when that
State still might be described as pioneer
territory. His youth and early manhood
were spent exploring the further West.
From the start he was in quest Of
wealth susceptible of being had for the
taking-natural riches requiring only to
be Staked out The search was vain
until by lucky chance he recognized pay
dirt" in the form of earth showing signs
of oil exude in the outskirts Of Los
Angeles He was on the margin of
middle age when he made that strike,
opened the premier well Of the Pacific
Coast field, and with the capital thus
obtained constructed the foundations of
the empire he was to rule until his final
illness laid him low.
Riches, however, did not bring him
happiness Like many of his contem-
porarieS, he was handicapped in the
enjoyment Of success. The talent for
management, he was to learn by eX-
perience, differs fundamentally from
that of prospecting. He shared the fate
of his class and suffered the misfortunes
which somehow appear to be the lot of
men who accidentally come to power.
Indeed, his name would be but one Of
a long list of sorrowful millionaires sub
ject to citation from the history Of his
period. 1t may be doubted if ever again
In the United States there will be such
q crop of money kings created by chance.
But it would be an error to suppose
that the passing dynasty of speculative
magnates has failed to be of use to the
Nation. On the contrary, to their
initiative and courage, their tenacity
and forcefulness, the country owes much
Of the industrial expansion of the past
six decades. They were the trail blazers
and the prophets of tomorrow that is
yet to be as well as Of the present hour
of change and socialiZation. Their pur-
pose and function in the drama Of
America probably will be better UNDER
stood and more justly appreciated a
century hence. Some one, certainly, had
to do what they did-the seeking, the
finding. the exploiting Of values. And
their mistakes, like those of Bret Harte's
miner. might have been far more costly,
far more tragic than in fact they were

proper. But in going to extreme lengths
to explain why he could not take judicial
cognizance of the sentiments or motives
which actuated the rioters he did exactly
that-he did take cognizance of those
sentiments, and in a manner sure to
arouse hostility Of the German people,
not against Magistrate Brodsky so much
as against the country whose judicial
system he happened at the time being
to perSonify.
Americans expect their flag to be re-
spected in foreign lands, and foreign
countries expect the same thing OF
America. Magistrate Brodsky technically
upheld the law, but was in a manner
guilty of the same disrespect that led
to an unlawful incident. He has placed
his country in the embarrassing position
which is always assumed in having to
explain the conduct of its nationals.
Evening star., 1935-09-10
A Regrettable Incident.

Magistrate Brodsky, by yielding to the
sweet temptation to indulge in obiter
dicta, missed an opportunity to preach
O sermon against NaZi-iSm and Com
uaunism and other "isms" much stronger
than the unfortunate words he used in
disposing of the case before him. That
case involved breaches of the peace in
connection with rioting aboard the s. S.
Bremen, in which the German emblem
was torn from its staff. And Magis-
trate Brodsky's duty was to rule on the
guilt or innocence of the alleged rioters
and not to pass judgment on the Ger
man nation, which happens to be out
of his jurisdiction.
Unfortunately, he did both. He dis
missed four defendants for lack OF evi-
dence and held one on the strength
of evidence-which may have been
