tainS piercing the vault of Mexican
skies, combined with old world GUS
toms, hospitality and grace, make
a motor trip to Mexico a delightful
achievement unrivalled by the best
that Europe has to offer
Recently the Mexican govern
ment opened great new highway
seven hundred and siXty-three
miles in length from Laredo, Tex
as, to Mexico. This great interna-
tional highway. costing $20,000,000,
and over ten years hard labor, opens
wide the portals Of Mexican hospi-
tality. and what have formerly been
inaccessible regions Of unsurpassed
natural beauty and grandeur. 1t IS
the greatest of modern MeXico's
many accomplishments. The road
dition, and all of the rivers, large
and small, have been spanned with
modern steel and concrete bridges,
making the trip from the Mexican
border TO the capital as easy and as
pleasant as any trip of the same
length in our own country could be.
Longest Straight Road
bridge at Laredo, thence on ahead
over the great broad avenue Of
Nuevo Laredo, and almost immedi-
ately after crossing Arroyo del Coy
ote one swings into a straightWay
of highway, forty-five miles long,
which is claimed to be the longest
straight road in the world. At this
point ones enthusiasm grows with
every additional mile traVerSed.
From the loWlands the route
arrived and then the show went
on. We were all a dither. Even our
star was anxious about her make
up. repowdering her little nose and
patting her coiffure which was
already perfect and couldn't be
improved upon. We were all a
dither except Maui, King Maui,
nothing seemed to disturb his
perfect poise, and when it came
time for our hula dance the vocal
chant held a different meaning
to us. The soft plaintive strains of
the steel guitars and the slow
rhythmatical beat of the drums
and gourds were telling a story,
and SO we interpreted it with a
spark that night that we were nev-
er quite able to duplicate after
wards.
Too soon the season came to an
end and back in New York the
show was put in storage.

News Behind the News
The Roosevelt Garner Split 8. Jack
Doesn't Like Spankings :. Nor Nep
Deal Relief Policies

WASHINGTCN-As to the numerous rumors
concerning the sudden departure of Vice Presi-
dent Jack Garner from his job as presiding
officer of the Senate
The essential reason was that Garner ana
President Roosevelt had split widely apart ON
the issues of labor and relief and that Roosevelt
had undertaken on at least two occasions to
give the vice president mild private spankings
for what he considered efforts to sabotage his
policies
Garner is 81 years old and does not like
to be spanked He does not like to be around
Washington in the summer time, either.
He dropped the word around that he was
thinking of taking off for his home in Uvalde,
Tex, about the first of June, but failed to get
rise out of the President. Then he advised
Roosevelt in person that he would like to take
vacation. Roosevelt said he thought it would
be good idea.
Word was given out that the vice president
would be gone only two or three weeks. But he
told close friends he would be back by Aug.
if Congress hadn't quit by then.
Specifically, Garner gave secret backing to
Senator Jimmy Byrnes in the iatter's attempt
to make Roosevelt publicly condemn sitdown
strikes and to cut the federal relief appropria-
ton from s1,5O0 100000 to billion dollars.
He has also favored Byrnes' elevation to the
Senate majority leadership in case Roosevelt
can be persuaded to appoint Leader Joe Robin
son to the supreme Court, knowing that the
White House would want Senator Barkey of
Kentucky to succeed Robinson

A THIRD TERM
FOR PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

There Is increasing discussion through
out the country of the possibility that
President Roosevelt will defy tradition
by seeking third term at the national
election in 1910 Many, stepped in tradi-
ton, find it hard to believe that the New
deal leader could think seriously of such
procedure. There are others who point
to the record of the last five wears as
proof that you cannot go into history to
predict what President Roosevelt will do.
1t seems to US that the possibility of
President Roosevelt's third term cam
palgn rests on Just one thing: Can the
New Deal find another candidate as
likely TO be elected?
If there is no other New Dealer by
1910 who seems sure thing for the
presidential chair, then we believe it
likely that Roosevelt will 90 against
precedent by seeking a third term in Of
flee. The belief is founded on the DEM
onstration during recent months that the
New Deal program is intended as a long
range affair." remaking the economic life
of the country. The New Deal will not
take chances on ruin if it believes Roose-
velt can carry the banner better than
anyone else.
On the other hand there is a. distant
question whether Roosevelt will be as
popular in 1910 as he is now, ortwhether
the New Deal will continue to shjoy ITS
popularity. If continued economic un-
rest unseats the New Deal popularity,
then it is likely the candidate will be
someone entirely different from Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Even President Roosevelt could not
answer truthfully with yes or mo"
to the third term question right now, we
think. Too much depends on the swing of
the pendulum-and the swing is quicker
in politics than anywhere else.

ONE ANGLE THE NEWS
GATHERERS HAVE Overlooked

1t is easy to sit on the sidelnes and
pick flaws, but sometimes it is helpful,
too In all this welter of strikes, blood
shed and economic warfare it seems to
us there is one important story the me-
tropolitan newspapers and the large
press associations have overlooked.
What is the public thinking?
By public" we do not mean the strik-
ers, or the employers or the mediators.
We mean the farmers, the small store
keepers, the large merchants, the busi-
ness men and the laborers who are in
no way directly connected with the del
uge of strikes. What is the average man
the man who knows only what he
reads in the newspapers-thinkin of
all this big trouble? What is his wife
saying, over the dinner table?
After al, there is about 80 per cent
of the population of the United States
which is not involved directly in strikes
or labor warfare of any kind. What
is the attitude of that 90 per cent?
We know what most of our Imperial
Valley public is thinking. 1t is, in short,
that there must be better way to settle
all these difficulties. We would like to
know if most of the rest of the United
States Is not thinking the same Inlng.
The metropolitan newspapers and
press associations, it seems to us, would
be rendering a distinct service to the
government, to industry, to labor and
to the public by sending fairminded,
impartial men into the field to find out
what Mr.. John @. Public thinks of it
all. He is, to misquote Mr.. Roosevelt,
the Forgotten Man of this dirty mess.
1t is time somebody was paying atten-
ton to the public, and the first step
should be to find out what the public
wants.

The rather furiuS race toward
readjustment OF employment connl-
items in commerce and industry has
allowed today's worker little time
to browse about, take stock OF whaI
has already happened, and flgure
how he will fit into the scheme OF
things after the smoke clears away.
Legally and sentimentally, the
worker is entitled to whatever Juol-
lation he may find in his new posi-
ton. But if he is to be thoroughly
honest with himself he must SIT
down ana with cold figures deter
mine which side of the economic
balance sheet he will ocupy after
his demands are granted.
%
An Illustration of the wisdom OF
this sort of thing ocurred IN New
York City with the granting oil
the new six and seven-hour day
pacts in the building trades.
The contractors, from whom the
agreement was obtained, insist that
they are, for all practical purposes;
only hired men, and that the real
bosses are the people who put up
the money for the buildings. And,
pushing the point to its conclusion
they say that increased costs under
the wage and hour agreements, to-
gether with higher cost OF material,
will cause builders to cancel con-
struction of neW projects.
1t is argued further that the new
agreements do not take into con-
sideration tht seasonal nature OF
building work or the added unpro-
fitable time between start and COM
pletion of structure, due to slack
ened production.
The case of the plastererS has
been cited as an example of how
the things may work out. Here,
say the contractors, the boss is the
architect who is figuring out costs
and results. With the pla5terers'
working day cut to six hours, and
their wage increased to So an hour,
the architect seeks and finds a
cheaper plaster Substitute-and then
gives the work to carpenters or
masons.
Supposing the contractor to be
blessed with the most benevolent
attitude toward his men, he still
claims he is poWerless to prevent
the workers totai annual income
from decreasing, in spite of the
higher hourly wage.
From the workers viewpoint, the
wage and hour agreement was a

Another possibility equally dis

at home, and might detain|him IN
Italy to do his warbling on the
home grounds.

Even the contractors make no issue

What does seem unfortunate is
that the building employees APP

thorns. The contractors have been
placed in a ticklish spot at the
mercy of the laws of supply and
