No one can do more than guess at
the answer to this question until next
years congressional primaries and
elections do answer it definitely. If
there is heavy political mortality
rate among lawmakers who are OPP
posing the administration it will be
evident that President Roosevelt
knows best. If the present presiden-

of his present supporters are retired
by the voters it will be equally appar

Average Wrong?
Ordinarily speaking it. is a fair as.
sumption that a senator understands
his own state and a representative
his own district more accurately than
any one else can understand it.
President Roosevelt, however, is
widely given credit for degree of
political acumen superior to the aver

A DIRECT ROAD TO
THE MT. LAGUNA AREA

Among the most worthwhile endeavors
of the Ell Centre chamber of commerce
this year is the move to obtain Civilian
Conservation Corps labor in building
direct route from Imperial Valley to
the Mt Laguna recreational area in the
mountains between here and San Diego.
Such road, cutting off many miles
from the present winding route, would
be of considerable value to residents in
all parts of the valley.
The road proposed by the chamber
of commerce, through Coyote Wells, Car
riso Creek and Canebreak Canyon,
would open up new scenic region which,
unfortunately, very few valley residents
have seen. At the same time it would
make the trip to Laguna less tiring, and
would result in greater travel to that
part of the mountains.
With the C.C.C. on permanent basis,
there is no reason why a crew should
not be assigned to the construction job,
as suggested by the chamber of com
merce The move is one worthy of sup
port from the entire community.

used to tell of walking down a

his father, who had become man
ager of the old States restaurant.
There was Spring in the air and
affection between them and their
chatter was bantering and frothy.
Suddenly the father stopped, stuck
out his hand. and said "Son, I'm
leaving you here. Goodbye" Then
slumped to the sidewalk and the

most thoroughly equipped hotels in
America is in Wilmington, Della
ware, and built with DUPONT dough.
1t includes such gadgets as a flash
light in the room when mail arrives

ice water in the baths. About the
only thing it lacks is dingus to slip
on over-shoes without bending over.

instance. if one wants to remain
in bed in the morning there will be
a drop desk over the bed-headboard
upon which will be a device into
which one may dictate letters and
kilograms to waiting stenographers.
Under the pillow will be a radio
device that cannot be heard by a
sleeper in the same bed. Only the
highest grade of patrons will be
permitted to enjoy the many privi-
leges. The intent is to make it the
most efficiently equipped and the
most select hotel in the world.

Bruce Cation Says:>>
RoekefeIIers Virtues OUTLYING His Faults

But that is only half of the
picture. For if this man made
people uneasy by showing them that
one man can amass more wealth
and power than one man can
possibly need, he also showed them
that great wealth properly used
can have enormous social value.
The amount of good that the
Rockefeller money has done. ks
simply beyond appraisal The whole
world has felt the effects. The best
that science can do, supported by all
that money can provide. has been
put at the service of all mankind.
The man who made that possible
deserves, surely, some sort of graft
tude from the race.
So how are you going TO strike
a balance on that mans career? It's
two halves do not jibe. In the face
of the ruthless savagery of tho
early drive toward wealth, are you
going to say, This was a good
man.? In the light of the Rookie
feller Foundation, can you say,
This was a bad man?
You can't label him with ono
word or one phrase. Like all the
rest of us, he was a mixture of good
and bad-but on titanic scale. We
can say, perhaps, that his case
reverses the Shakespearean adage--
that the good he did lives after him.

The queer contradiction in the
life of John D. Rockefeller will
probably be giving social historians
some bad moments for many
generations.
If you like to have life wrap up
its rights and wrongs in separate
packages and hand them out neatly
labeled, so that a clear-cut judg-
ment can be pronounced on each
act and each life, Mr.. Rockefeller's
case will be highly unsatisfactory
to you.
He got his wealth in way that
cannot be condemned too strongly
He used it in way that cannot be
praised too emphatically.
How is a historian going TO
strike a balance there?
X Il
Until the early 1900's. there is
very little in the Rockefeller story
that can incline a socially-minded
historian to do anything but shake
his head sadly.
The story of the formation and
development of Standard Oil has
been told many times. Enough has
been printed to reveal it as a jungle
battle, in which applied acquisitive-
ness followed its chosen path with
utter ruthlessness.
In an age when monopoly was
riding as a storm cloud on the
American horizon, Rockefeller was
the king of monopolists. He was
hated by the mass Of the people
as few men have been hated, and
the hatred was all the more bitter
because it was tinged with deep fear.
We do not often realize, at this
late date, how greatly the common
folk of America were stirred by the
rise Of the giant corporations IN
the closing years of the last cen
tury. Tremendous pressures were set
up by the emergence of our in
dustrial giants; people felt that
their prized liberties were coming to
be at the mercy of the sort of people
recently dubbed economic royal
ists," and with some justice they
looked on Rockefeller as the man
who had shown these royalists how

JEAN HARLOW FACES
no BITTER HE4RT4CHES

Jean Harlow, taken by death when
her moving picture career was still aC
its zenith, has by no will of her own
escaped the penalty she would otherwise
have paid for the fame that made her
an outstanding target for jabs of the
vulgar and the envious alike.
Life for one in the place of Jean Har-
low is few years of fame, than many
years of forgotten loneliness. 1t is nard
for those in the moving picture business
to adjust themselves to the obscurity
that settles over them when their brief
time in the spotlight is done. Death open
ed the avenue of escape for Miss Han low.
That it is an escape she probably
would not have chosen is tribute to
the human instinct for life and the natur-
al urge of the individual, regardless of
the heartaches, to try again.

NEW YORK, June $40 my
| notion the most sinister looking
places in midtown are those Sc
veral-flights-up dime-a-dance halls
that seem to survive every sudden
sweep of the police broom. They
carry on year after year in what
seems from casual view de-
praved atmosphere.
To the casual passer-by no one
seems to enter or depart. A seedy
doorman lounges listlessly in the
narrow entrance with apparently
nothing to do but indulge an oc-
casional yawn. talk now and then
to a passing cop and sneak few
cigarets drags at the curb.
All the halls have the crepuscular
light of dusk. The managers are the
ferret faced pick-thanks so often
identified with gangster films. And
the girls. perhaps a dozen, mostly
pajama-clad walk about the floor
slowly with the few customers. Pale,
indifferent. they seem to be inte-
rested mostly in the art of gum
chewing.
Nothing about the girls, the halls
or tn habitues offers the slightest
touch of glamour usually to be
associated with the glitter of a

mysterious reason these drab dives
outlast the brilliantly lit and ex-
pensively orchestraed places.

DEFINITION OF
A NEWSPAPER

On the wall of one California news
papers lobby hangs what, to newspaper
men, seems an apt definition of the news
paper of today. 1t is:
"The newspaper is an institution de-
veloped by modern civilization to present
the news of the day, to foster agricul-
ture, commerce and industry toward the
end that more people may live better, to
inform and lead public opinion, and to
furnish that check upon government
which no constitution has ever been able
to provide"
The last clause is one which too many
people too often overlook. Crookedness
flourishes in dark corners. If news
paper courageously presents the news of
its local government, nine times out of
ten you will find that local government
a strictly honest one.
