Spring, inevitably as the buds burst, brings
its deluge OF spring poetry. Christmas. just as
inevitably, brings a flood Of this stuff and non
sense about papa playing with juniors electric
train, to the presumed exclusion of junior.
Possibly the yarns and pictures of the old
gent down on all four maneuyering a Whzzng
string of about tin track funny. We
have such odd ideas of humor in this land that
we'd not dare suspect the scene lacks comedy.
Yet comedy is the least element of tn picture
the story. When father spraWls over the liv-
ing room floor he is getting back to fundamen-
tails, even briefly, without which the race is not
so we'll off He is doing what philosophers and
psychologists long have preached and prayed
he should. He is getting down to the level of boy
hood again where he can have basis of under
standing with the young responsibility he has
taken to nurture and to foster in ways that are
good and works that real. The result is good
for junior, but it is better for father. 1t keeps
him from getting old before his time and it pro-
duces a degree Of intimacy with his boy that is
not attainable up to dads level until time has
contributed its effects, father can descend to
boyhood if he will.
Whether it is the proverbial electric train of
picture and jest or simply the spirit of Christ
mas that actuates dad to pal up with junior, its
a fine sign that there's a vast background of
genuine quality in the American home which
enrches not only the home, but the individuals
who profit from the close association of father
and son.

A New Years Editorial

the national welfare as well as ON
our own balance sheets.
LABOR LEADERS: We will stop
pickering among ourselves, and put
personal ambition definitely be-
meath the welfare of working men
and of the country at large, We
will not snarl up the country's pro-
ductive machinery on slight pre-
texts not allied to the general well
fare. and will recognize that the
welfare of all the people is greater
than that of any part, however
large.
THE ADMINISTRATION: We
will stop sniping at business lead
ership in general, abandoning tao
tics whose tendency is to harass
without specific legal objective. We
will try to provide firm, intelligent
leadership, now lacking in Con-
gress, without demanding any
blank checks.
All these resolutions would help,
out what would help most of all
would be for 130,000,000 Americans
to resolve singly and individually
to think a little harder, work
little harder, be a little more pro-
ductive, a little kinder little
more tolerant, a little better. If
We will, We may look forward with

Life is Not
All Romance

Here's a note for all the light-headed
youngsters who believe life should be
romantic at all times, who try to dram
atize themselves and everything they do
and go into tailspin when hard facts
tip the apple cart of drama.
Frank H. Spearman wrote blood ard
thunder books of wild western drama.
Guns belched smoke, rustlers swung
from trees against the full of the moon,
two-gun men thundered across waste
lands of the west and pretty heroines
always got their men-in Mr.. Spear
mans books. There were no unhappy
endings for his fiction-people, and there
were no commonplace events in their
lives to bore them. His were hardy,
swift-living characters who went out,
when the story made it necessary, in a
blaze of glory and gun-smoke.
Frank H. Spearman died Friday from
a stomach ailment

One Man S Life
Lights the WAY

Almost on the eve of a new year, death
claimed DR.. W. T. Heffernan this week.
We will not attempt to pay any tribute
to him. Imperial Valley is his tribute.
1t is a monument in which the name of
DIR. Heffernan will never be obliterated.
In DR.. Heffernan's life, however. all
of US can learn a lesson that is parti-
cularly appropriate at this season, when
we look ahead into the future with deter
mination that the next year shal! see
new accomplishment and provide great
er happiness.
When sand and sagebrush stretched
where agriculture is lavish today. DR..
Heffernan was one of tiny group which
saw this eountry's possibilities. With all
the money and influence at his command
he pursued his vision. He helped defeat
the desert, and then he helped build
a foundation for the future He proph-
esied great things for Imperial Valley.
and worked to make them come true.
In death, he is man whose vision has
been justified.
Imperial Valley is on the verge of a
development beyond even the vision of
the early pioneers. Thousands of acres
of land and millions of dollars still will
be added to the wealth of this region.
If we who live here made no other New
Years resolution, we should resolve that
the work of the pioneers shall not Ian
guish.

France Deals With
Municipal Strikers

We still prefer our own government
to that of France, but there are times
when we cannot help wishing that GER
tain things were handled here as they
are there. Take, for instance, the strike
of municipal laborers which halted sub
way and bus service and threatened wa
ter, gas and electricity supplies in Paris.
The strike began only "a hours before
it ended.
1t ended because the French govern
ment told the strikers they would either
call off the walkout, or the government
would break the strike
Of course the French government
wouldn't break a strike in private in
dustry that way Neither would ours.
Nobody should ask that.
Our government could, however, take
a strong stand in any strike where pub
lie welfare is threatened or public money
is involved. Several snch strikes have
happened. There was the general strike
in San Francisco, and there were strikes,
too numerous to mention, on public re-
lief projects. Our government might
very we'll take hand in such events.
The public should come first, strike or
no strike

Jan. is just another day. The
coming of every mornings sun Of
fers just as clean page, just as
fine a chance to make something
better out of ourselves as that first
day of new year.
But somehow We don't usually
think of it. And since we usually
think of that first day of the new
year as the unusually clean first
leaf of a beautifully blank book
Of the new year, the day has come
to be one of Stock-taking and fu-
ture promise.
New Year, 1888, finds many peo-
pie discouraged because the coun-
try's feet have slipped on the up
ward path that was leading rapidly
out of the swamplands of depres-
sion.
Except for those people who
have actually lost their jobs. de-
spair is largely unwarranted If
we can divest ourselves of an un-
reasoning mood of discouragement
and despair, We will find that every
element urging better business in
the middle of 1887 is present today,
some in greater power than before
the slump. In some lines produc-
ton has been actually below the
point of current consumption fur
ther inroads into inventories have
been made by a Christmas trade
surprisingly little below last years.
Whether We can firmly set our
feet again on the upward path re-
mains with ourseles. Perhaps some
New Year resolutions like this
would help:
CONGRESS: Ashamed of the
pageant of paralysis We showed
during the special session, We will
roll up our sleeves and go to work
in January, to prove that not only
relationships but democratically
elected congresses can act and
function with speed and decision.
BUSINESS LEADERS: BY action
we will disprove the ugly story of
all too wide circulation, that we
deliberately betrayed the national
economy. We will strive unceasing-
