Editorials and Comment
SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE q, 1886.
News Behind the News
The Parties Don't KnoIc The Men :.
Vague Remarks Uppermost j.. Then
Comes Nomination

WAsHNGTON-The political racket re-
mains essentially the same from decade to
another but it is rather out of the ordinary
to find each big party this year presenting
candidate who was, as you might say, something
bought in poke.
It certainly veers bit toward the quaint
side when the Republicans who have been bel
lowing their anguish these last couple of years
over the sad fate of a Democratic party which
elected president who disregarded his platform
and demonstrated that the party had never
known what he really stood for, now discover
themselves in a pickle jar on the same shelf.
Vague indeed were the 1882 public utter
ances of Franklin D. Roosevelt and even more
vague-also very scarce-were the pre-conven-
ton remarks of ALI Landon on national issues.
N0W in somewhat the same manner as
Roosevelt took the Democratic conservatives for
a ride by introducing the New Deal-but of
course to a much lesser degree-LandOn has
fooled some of the powerful Republican elements
by promptly broadening the party platform after
its adoption.
He waited until his nomination was cnched
before he took the party into his confidence.
The Republican convention doings were
conspicuous for the differences between the
public and private statements of statesmen.
Senator Borah, fer instance, had been tell
ing his friends that the hackers of Landon
reactionarieS and monopolistS of the worst type,
and that he couldn't support such a man in
his campaign. Publicly, however. he insisted he
was interested in the platform only.
Senator Vandenberg, from the start, has told
every friend he has in Washington that he
deems the 1886 Republican nomination to be
worthless and that he would be silly to take
the presidential or vice presidential nomina-
ton in losing year.
Publicly, of course, he would say nothing
Of the sort.
Few men have taken worse lacings toward
the end of their careers than poor Borah. Plain
fact is that Father Coughln and DR.. Townsend
were more influential in the writing of the
platform than he
The bid to Coughlin in the currency
planks failure to mention gold, which Of course
was agreeable to Borah.
DR.. Townsend was recognized in the secur-
ity plank's approval of pay-aS- -you-go policy,
old age pensions for all needy Americans
65 and financing by "a direct tax widely dis
tributed"
And then, as B0rah left town, Landon hurl-
ed a couple Of dead cats after him by suggest
ing change in the Constitution, which Borah
opposed and by declaring for the gold standard,
which Borah detests
If Borah can claim that he's even
half-satisfied by what happened in Cleveland,
he's the kind of fellow who would congratulate
a dentist who pulled the wrong tooth.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-06-21
POWER DROPS ON THE
ALL AMERICAN CANAL

Imperial Valley residents, regardless
of their interests in distribution meth
DDS, should welcome the news that the
federal government has provided for
construction of power drops and fcun-
dation structures along the All Ameri-
can canal.
The federal decision means two
things:
That the last step has been taken to-
ward completion of the canal project,
and
That the Imperial Irrigation District
will not be compelled at some future
date to make expensive changes at the
drops on the canal in order to install
power generating equipment.
There has ceased to be any serious
controversy over whether power will be
developed on the canal; the controversy
centers about methods of distribution.
Therefore it is certain that power plants
will be built on the canal If the federal
government had not seen fit to construct
the proper structures and foundations,
the developing agency would have faced
an expensive task in changing structures
at the drops to fit in with the power
scheme. Hundreds of thousands of doll
ars have been saved to the people OF
Imperial Valley through the govern
ment decision.
Because the irrigation district, in eff
feet, will own and control the canal, 1t
will own and control, also, the power
plant structures. This seemingly sim
pie statement carries with it a world of
import. If the federal government had
not thought seriously of aiding the If
rigation district in installing power
plant equipment other than structures
and foundations, would it have provid-
ed for construction of these facilities?
There has been no delay IN the power
programs thus far The canal has only
now reached the stage where installa-
tion of power drops and foundations is
possible The federal government has
not hurried its schedule, but neither
has it Jagged behind. 1t seems reason
able, then, to assume that, when the
time comes for installation of generat-
ing and distribution equipment, the gov
ernment may be counted upon to give
the matter its thorough consideration.

PARALLEL PARKING
A FORWARD STEP

There are many arguments for and
against parallel parking, required by
state law along state highways where
they pass through cities, but Ell Gen.
trans have been demonstrated the best
possible argument for this community.
1t is, strangely enough, a matter of
Identification.
Ell Centro looked busy, crowded,
bustling, when cars were parked on
Main streets with their noses into the
curb-but the wear and tear on nerves
was terrible. A motorist never knew
when one of his fellows, without paying
particular attention to who was COM
ing from behind, would shoot his mach
inc backwards into the flow of traffic.
The person who had parked, on the
other hand could never be quite sure
when he would get an opportunity to
wheel his machine into the continuous
flow of traffic without damaging some
one else's tenders.
Now, with parallel parking in effect,
Ell Centro's Main street actually has
acquired the appearance Of thorofare.
Traffic has been speeded up, it is easier
to tell whether another motorist is
coming out of parking place, and it
is very little more difficult to park par
alel to the curb The only drawback is
that there are fewer parking places
and that really is no drawback. Proper
enforcement of parking regulations will
maintain a flow of traffic even enough
to make room for all who have legiti

Ira Aten, director of the Imperial

near Ell Centre. This is Aten's third
wear as a flax grower and he is en-
thusiastic as to the possibilities of
this comparatively new crop for
valley lands. He extends an inVl-
tation to all those who are inter

TO visit his ranch as he is using

The late and distinguished British
poet and Latin teacher at Oxford,
A. E. Housman, was the most metlc-
ulous of the minnesingers. His total
works comprised but two thin VOL
umes. He often spent a month on
a line or twelve lines to a year.
william Allen White once told me
he did not believe good writing could
be hastily done His best editorials
have been those polished over and
over, put away awhile and polished
again. There is a fluff writing often
acquires in speed but the durable
stuff is, like any other masterpiece
labored over long and lovingly.

And. of course, the best headline
ever fashioned was by Boss Clarke,
of the old Sun. 1t graced a story
only half stick long which re
counted the tragedy of tenement
child wandering one swelterine
night on a roof top in search of a
breath of air and toppling to her
death The caption read: "a Little
Child In the Dark" Boss Clarke
confessed he wrote and reWrote 1t
more than a dozen times before
achieving that poignant simplicity
for which he stroye.

7 once tried to wax facetious with
a headline telling of man named
Blast engaging in a brawl with a
fancy lady named Stump. Every
body seemed to enjoy my CuteneSS
save Mr.. Blast, who called to see
the editor in person with fire in
his eye. And bulge on his hip.
He roared so loudly that even Col.
Jed Rossiter, our totally deafened
editorial writer, looked up from his
proofs. then, being the bravest fel.
low in the room, walked over and
kicked Mr.. Blast down stairs. II

A magazine reveals that Gov
Herbert Lehman is a dry cigaret
smoker-using up 20 day without
ever lighting up. This followed
years of heavy smoking. 1t is often
a custom among cigar and pipe
smokers but is the first ever knew
with the cigarct. There was once
a Grand Ruin, yanked back from
the horrors at Bellevue, who came
TO the reluctant conclusion that
drink did not agree with him. His
world was the world Of bars and he
still made the rounds, toying, sniff
ing never tasting the three fingers
OF rye which he always poured out
For 10 years he never touched q
drop-a dry drinker TO the end!
