We don't think anyone questions that
fact. This state has got to be for Roose-

Selected Poem

(Teoberta Haskins Macauley in the New Haven
Journal-CourierD
There was time when your gay glance
Could cause my heart TO thrill,
did not know If 1t were chance
Or II 1t were your will,
And yet caught DIT OF bliss
In seeing you each day.
And II my dreams we're more than this
None but myself could say.
There we're no footprints on the shore,
No path across the sand ..
Had anyone been here before
In this uncharted land?
Had someone stood and looked about.
AS / did unawares,
And heard the little feet OF doubt
Go scampering upstairs -?
And felt those clutching hands OF fear
That caught so at my throat,
Then suddenly would disappear
Because you smiled. remote?

Could cause my heart TO thrill
But love Is something more than chance.
And something less than will

A NEW RAILROAD
FOR B4JA CALIFORNIA

The northern district of Baia Cali
fornia is taking the greatest step of
years toward greater progress. Even
now Mexican surveying crews are busily
mapping out the route of a railroad line
to connect MeXicali with the Gulf Of
California. 1t is a government project
one for which the residents of BaJa
California and the residents of Imperial
Valley as we'll may thank the Mexican
government for years to come.
The lands below the American border
are rich for agriculture, rich for Scien-
fists and rich for tourists. None of the
resources have ever been fully developed.

you must traVerse. q country that will

BLISTER RUST
DISCOVERED IN
NORTH CALF.


Blister rust infection was recent
" found on sugar pine in northern
California and southern Oregon by
J. l.. Mielke and w. w. WAGNER
Of the Division Of Forest Pathology,
Bureau Of Plant Industry, u. s. De-
partment of Agriculture. This is
the first known occurrence Of the
disease in California. However, the
relative susceptibility Of sugar pine
had been studied previously by
planting young trees in infected
areas of British Columbia ano
northwestern Oregon where it was
found that the sugar pine is more
susceptible to attack than either
eastern white pine or the western
white pine, the other TWO Of the
American white pines which are es-
pecially valuable as forest trees.
Blister rust, a fatal disease OF
white pines, became established in
the Pacific NorthWest as a result
Of diseased white pine planting
stock introduced from Europe and
planted near Vancouver, 3. G. IL
1910. Its presence in western Brit
ish Columbia and western Wash
ington was first discovered in 1921
Since then it has spread through
natural means into the commercial
western white pine belt in eastern
Washington, northern Idaho anc
western Montana. 1t mas gradual
" extended southwark towards the
sugar pine belt of southern Oregon
and northern California.
During the past several years in
lection on currant and gooseberry
plants. the alternate hosts Of the
rust, has been found at several
points within the sugar pine belt
Of oregon and rust outbreaks al
ready have appeared on the sugar
pine in Oregon.

aimed at safeguarding tne nlsny
valuable sugar pine stands is al
ready well under way At the close
Of the 1885 field season about 375, 900
acres Of sugar pine forest land haG
been treated by the removal of the
currant and gooseberry plants from
within and near the pine stands.

News Behind the News
Republicans and Democrats Which
Is Which? -. The National Con-
sOIidatiOn Tendency =.

wAsHNGTON-It isn't exactly scoop to
report that Republicans have taken over the
cid Democratic shibboeth OF states rights ana
that the Democratic party IS now carrying the
hod for the advocates OF concentrated federal
power There have been laughs long before this
over that reversal Of position.
It is mora important to raise the question
as to how it will all turn out, to guess which
side is riding the winning horse, and to spe-
culate as tC the effects Of the result
The tendency TO national consolidation has
been sweeping along for $50 years and in the
last 100 years much of which has been spent
under Republican presidents, there has been no
important step away from this federalist trend.
One Is reminded of this fact by Irving Brant
in his book. storm Over the Constitution"
subtitled Democracy Turns TO Federalism Mr..
Brant is chief edtorialst for the st. Louis Star
Times and an outstanding authority on the
writings Of the Founding Fathers.
In this campaign are involved the rights Of
property and the Republican party IS the party
Of property In early days men OF property TOOK
charge of the government and rapidly expand
ed the federal power. Now the men with the
most property look upon such expansion with
loathing and shout for the sanctity Of state
sovereignty.
jefferson himself was the first Democrat
to abandon Jeffersonian democracy in favor
of a Hamiltonian conception Of national power"
says Brant, and proceeds to prove II up 10 tne
hilt showing that jefferson Was an ant-Fed-
eralist before he became president a Federallst
while presdnt and an antl-Federallst tnere-
after.
The Fathers wrote Constitution for strong
federal government in reply to agrarian rebel
liens and state legislative threats OF paper
money and debt cancellations, says Brant.
The Fathers soft-pedsled federal powers IN
discussing them for public consumption, but
privately admitted those powers were sweeping.
The states rights slogan served the slave
owners until the Civil War-they tired to pulla
a state buiwark around slavery by warning
that breakdown Of state control meant monarchy
and despOtism.'

ture-untl today one corporation controls more

TWO FRONTIERS OFFER
STUDY IN CONTRASTS

Two frontiers invite the worlds at
tention these days.
One stretches for 1000 miles between
the United States and Canada. The 9th
er runs a shorter distance between
France and Spain.
Along the American-Canadian frontier
there is peace; peace SO firmly eStab-
lished, so taken for granted, that there
are no guns to enforce it. and no one
ever stops to think that it Is anything
especial in the way of blessing.
On the Franco-Spanish border there
are guns. tension, and Watchfulness.
From below the Pyrenees come the
crackle of firearms and the smoke Of
battle: on the mountains. anxious guards
peer to the south, and 10 the north
French statesmen try to make out the
shape of things TO come in the battle
smoke.
1t is quite within the bounds of pos
sibility that the question Of life or death
for some millions of healthy young
Europeans will hinge on what happens
in Spain in the next few months.
There is a contrast between these two
frontiers which goes far deeper than the
mere fact that one border is fortified
and the other is not That fact is mere
ly a symbol; back of it there are two
utterly dissimilar conceptions of the
way human society can be conducted.
The American conception is that of a
world in which men will get along very
we'll together if they are Just left alone
and allowed to work out their own sal
vation according to their lights.
1t begins with the assumption that
the human race Is made up OF men OF
good will, reasonable men who will find
and take the better course If they have
a chance to look for it.
The European conception is the re-
verse 1t must have walled boundaries
to divide man from man. 1t does not
admit that there are enough good things
in the world TO go around. but suggests
that only a few fortunate groups can
get them-from which it follows, logic
ally. that the good things must be fought
for.
1t assumes that men must be led,
whether they like it or not. Its only end
is the rule Of the mailed fist.
The one conception sees man as
creature of infinite possibilities, and his
history as an endless progression from
good to better. The other sees him as
a blind brute who will relapse into say
agery if he is not constantly cuffed into
good behavior.
Or, II you WISH 10 Don II al uO"H~
democracy flourishes in America while
overseas it is in dire peril Of extinction.
And with all its faults, its Inconsistent
cies. and its blunders, democracy is the
way of hope for mankind. 1t calls for
freedom-freedom between man and
man. and between nation and nation
and it assumes that man IS worthy OF 1t.
Ii is noble assumption and great
hope. Americans and Canadians have
no more sacred duty than to preserve.
it.
Their magnificent frontier which
runs free of suspicion and fear from
sea to sea, marks road to the fulfill
ment of the races grandest dream.
