son of village blacksmith.
And, indeed, this up-from-the'
bottom business has nothing to do
with democracy. 1t simply means
that the people who run things
recognize that there is no sub
stitute for ability, and that you
have to take ability where you
find it. If ability happens to be
lodged in the boss's son, well and
good; if not, look elsewhere.
There have been a few societies
which ignored this principle; one
and all, they cracked up. The Eng
land Of George Hts day entrusted
government and armies to WELL
born nincompoops and lost the
American colonies. The France of
the same era did the same-and
wound up with a revolution and
Napoleon. CZarist Russia had
the same habit, and no one needs
to be reminded what came of it,;
For this is the one aristocracy
which no society can ignore: the
aristocracy of ability. Sooner or
later. the able man will find his
way to a position which let's him
use his abilities to the full. If he
is kept from finding his way, he

Hitting a New High
In the Ridiculous

On the floor of the august Los An
geles city council chambers last week
were heard walls from no less person
ages than the Los Angeles city council
men that the Elysian Park Landslide
was nothing more than scheme of
wildcat oil promoters to force the price
of lots down, while others held firm
to the belief that the slide-which that
same night dumped thousands of tons
of boulders along Riverside Drive-was
mere newspaper talk"
The ostrich, sticking his head into
the sand of the Sahara desert, is piker
compared to those Los Angeles city
councilmen. The chap who murders a
man in a robbery, and then pleads self
defense, is more logical.
The really tragic thing is that most
communities have that particular type of
official He is one VINO believes that
anything, whether it be an earthquake
or a scandal in public places, should
not be printed if it is "bad publicity"
He forgets public service does not in
clude censorship of the things the public
should know And the reasons he can
find for keeping unfortunate happen
ings secret are legion.
Fortunately for the people who lived
and drove along Riverside drive, even
the Los Angeles city council could not
keep it secret when mountain started

You could preach pretty little
sermon, If you cared to, on the
fact that the newspapers announ-
ced on the same day two indust-
rial promotions-o in America,
the other in Soviet Russia-which
were remarkably similar.
In America, John Holmes was
made president of the packing
house of Swift and Co. He is the
first man not named Swift to be-
come president of the company,
he entered the firm in 1906 as a
messenger boy, and worked his way
to the top in the traditional way.
In Russia, good-looking young
woman named Tatiana Morozova
became head of the Soviet Co.'S
metic Trust, replacing Nine. Vya-
cheslaff Molotoff. wife of the So
Wet premier. Nine. Morozva is the
daughter of a Moscow day laborer,
and started out as a floor-sweeper
and box-heaver at the age of IA.
So. we have neat little parallel
up from the bottom. in both cases,
and you might go on to say that
Russian industry and American
industries are sisters under the
skin in that they reward merit
where they find it.
But the thing goes little deep
er than that. For what this CO.
incidence really means is that we'll
run organizations in any land
Communist Russia, capitalistic AM
erica. or wherever-have sense e.
nough not to build up heredi-
tary caste system, an aristocracy
of birth. They bring their leaders
up from the bottom simply because
that is one way to get good lead.

America has no copyright on the
rags-to-riches story. The willing
ness to accept new blood, to re-
ward ability where it found
and to give it a chance to exert
itself, is simply the price of sur

two great European nations which
stand as the very denial of DEM

a rule that the likeness of any living shall

If an Americans likeness is to appear on
foreign stamp, however, it would seem the post
office department would be glad that it would
be not to appear on our own stamps and
thus there would not be chance for mistakes.
The underlying motive for the stamp and
Browns strange reaction, however, is that the
stamp is TO be sold in this country for collec-

A Move for Greater
Interest in Baseball

1t is good omen for baseball in El
Centre that the name of the team here
has been changed from the Coca Cola
team to the Merchants team, indicating
community interest and community
support for the organization.
At the same time, we should not for
get that there would be no semi-profes-
sional baseball team in El Centro now
if H. w. Fawcett and his Coca Cola
bottling works had not supported the
squad through many years when it
might very well have been considered a
losing investment. Without that support,
the team could not have survived.
It is a tribute to Mr.. Fawcett's civic
spirit that he was willing when the
time came to withdraw his claim to COM
mercial benefits and publicity derived
from performances of the team before
larger crowds in a better park.
Now, under its new name, the strength
ened team actually may be said to repre-
sent the entire community, and undoubt-
edly the change in name will remove
any doubt that it is, in fact, team which
deserves the support of the entire COM
munity.

Heroism : A Common
Human Trait

The heroism of nuns, nurses, firemen
and neighbors in taking mothers and
babies to safety through fire which
swept st. AIMS maternity hospital in

again that heroism is not a thing con-
fined to those mortals of Olympian
stature who never rub elbows with the
rest of humankind. 1t is universal.
Your friend, your neighbor of your

heroes are made; he needs only the op-
portunity to demonstrate it. No, it is
not heroism which is scarce-it is the
event that develops heroism.
