Attack on Hilles.
Lucas attack upon Hilles as domi-
nant factor in the Republican or
ganization is not new with him. In
July, 1885, he sent letter to the Re-
publican county chairmen all over
the country, in which he character
ICED Hilles as Republican boss of New
York, director of a number of Morgan
corporations, and the dominating in
fluence ou the Republican National
Committee.
He warned In that letter that Hilles
would put himself in control Of the
1886 national convention and that
If he did he would place the in
delible stamp Of Wall Street upon

party in the campaign about as pop
ular as a polecat at q lawn fete."
During his campaign for the presi-
dental nomination, Senator Borah OF
Idaho has denounced the Republican
old guard, Hilles among them.
Whether Senator Borah would be in
| terested in backing up such a move
ment as that advanced by Lucas to
upset Hilles' domination of national
convention arrangements was not dis
closed today. Senator Borah and
Lucas are far apart on other matters
and issues relating to the Republican
party. They both, however seem to
be agreed as to the need of wiping
Mr.. Hilles out of the picture as a
dominating figure in the party Or
ganiZation.
Smell Recommended.
The Committee on Arrangements
for the Republican National Conven-
ton, meeting in Cleveland some time
ago, selected Senator Steiwer of
Oregon as temporary chairman and
keynote speaker. It recommended the
election Of Representative Smell, the
minority lader of the Hous. for per-
manent chairman. Smell was per-
manent chairman of the Republican
National Convention in 1882.
Lucas is an "uninstructed delegate"
to the convention from Kentucky. In
his letter to the other delegates he
says that four months ago Republican
enthusiasm was running high, but to-
day defeatist psychology is creeping
over the party. This Lucas attributed
to a lack of ''able, unselfsh, courage
GUS and fighting leadership" to the
HilleS policy of wait until the storm
blows over and do nothing until
after the convention"

issued recently is an indication that
the community is advancing more rap

1t is hard, sometimes, for those who
see the city from day to day to realize
how rapidly it is growing The realiza-
ton is much easier for those who leave
the valley, then return after two or
three years. The improvements are then
punched before their eyes.
The number of building permits is
sued this year indicates even to residents
who are on the scene, however, that
growth is rapid 1t is encouraging that
the permits are not for exceptionally
large sums. The answer lies in a spread
ing interest which results in issuance of
many permits to many people, rather
than in issuance of one large permit to
one firm. This years huge total will not
be reached, as large totals have been in
the past. through the medium of one
large permit for thousands of dollars

NO EXCUSE FOR STRIKERS
ON RELIEF PROJECTS.

SeUerai instances hare deUel0ped in
The last feLc days of persons on relief
Jobs, created by the federal g0UerR-
meHt as buIUdrk against unenlpiOy-
mept, striking for "higher IUGges," bet
Ter HUiHg conditions or Uith some
similar demand. There is little to er-
cHse such a strike, any more than there
is an excuse for strikers in private
industry Hring on relief during their
strike.
In Los Angeles and Ventura, Incl
dents have developed within the last
week in which PWA laborers, dissatis-
fled with their jobs, have gone out on
strike. In Los Angeles, those who re-
fused to join the walkout were stoned
from their jobs by the strikers. The re-
lief project strikes, possibly, may be
directly traced to the practice of the re-
lief administration in granting doles to
those striking against private industry's
practices.
By handing out relief to strikers, the
government places itself in the position
of insuring living to man whether he
works or not His strike may be based
on the flimsiest pretense-he may not
want to work. If he can obtain federal
relief while refusing to accept job in
private industry, his own character and
the economic basis of the country are
in grave danger
1t would be almost the same if the
government, through another of its
agencies, were to feed the men who go
out on strike from relief jobs until such
time as they decided to work again. Re-
lief to strikers, among a certain class,
places a premium on unemployment.
Occasionally, a strike is justified.
Sometimes it is not If the relief ad-
ministration is to feed all strikers be-
cause they have quit their jobs in pro-
test against their employers, the admin
istration automatically recognizes the
business of their claims. 1t should not
be placed in such a position, any more
than it should send reinforcements to
the private industry affected by the
strike. The administration must remain
neutral.
