IMPERIAL COUNTY
DOES 4 SERVICE

All southern California has reason
this week to thank Imperial county. The
county, when 1t closed the entryway to
the southland against hoboes and other
undesirable intinerants by means of its
own hobo blockade, performed a service
that has already had its effect, not only
in this county but in counties adjacent
TO us.
Word will go out over the hobo hitch
hiker grapevine that southern California
again is closed to penniless undesirables
The grapevine will make no distinction
between Imperial county" and south
ern California
Unless Riverside county follows the
example set by Sheriff Robert W. Ware,
Blythe may get double portion of
hoboes, bound for Los Angeles. Many,
however, will hear Of the hobo blockade,
think that it includes all of southern
California, and forego intended visits to
this region of sunshine. They like sun
shine-but they don't like jails.
When the entire southern portion of
the state took part in hobo blockade
last year, crime decreased almost over
night in every single community. Los
Angeles, keeping statistics, found that
the drop amounted to almost half. The
only trouble was that such cooperative
blockade, including several counties, was
held to be Illegal The immigration of
intinerants, and subsequently the crime
ratio, increased again.
Imperial county itself will continue
to feel considerable benefits from the
blockade Petty theft is on the wane
since hoboes have been turned back at
the county line, and may be expected to
continue at low mark as long as the
blockade remains in force
The problem of shifting, penniless,
undesirable population is one that may,
eventually, have to be met by the federal
government. Until then, Imperial coun-
ty's best bet is to enforce its own restric-
tions.

liberal members of Congress and with the AID
of many other members who are not progress

I'm the incident of DR.. Stanley High VINO was
publicly and obyiously-although not by name
rebuked by Roosevelt because OF 'an article IN
a weekly magazine whose editors proclaimed
him as a CLOSE" presidential advisor he had
confidently forecast a complete break between
roosevelt and such administration leaders as
Vice President Jack Garner, Senate Majority
Leader Joe Robinson Senator Pat Harrison and
other southern and northern conservative Demo-
Gratis
High was correct in SO far as he tagged
the bulk of the southern Democrats as conserv-
atiyes who look askance at Roosevelts New
Deal But this assertion OF that much truth
was only one mistake he made. Southern DEM
ocrats such as Robinson knew High as one who
helped write presidential campaign speeches
and had had intimate conferences with RooSe
velt since the election. They had every right
to demand OF Roosevelt whether or not he
agreed with High.
And the president found Highs article pub
lished the very day before he secretly planned
to send to Congress his historic proposal lor
supreme court reforms - a proposal whose sue
cess depends hearty support from the same
administration leaders who had been reused
to anger by Highs article. So High at least tem-
porariy was tossed into the doghouse.
Whether or not Highs predictions ever come
true, it is possible to distinguish roughly be-
tween conservative Democrat senator's who are
willing to follow the president along whatever
progressive pathways he may lead them INTO,
and those who instinctively turn around and
run the other way. There is a middle group
which stands irresolutely at the crossroads ana
has been expressing itself noncommittally as to
Rooseyelts supreme court plan. This middle
group will decide the issue.

Bruce Cation Says:>>
prussian Discipline is Not for U. S. Soldiers

of the great god Discipline.
For the plain fact is that the
sturdiest feats of American arms
were performed by soldiers who
would have made Prussian drill
master faint with sheer horror.
In the Revolution, Washington
never saw the day when he could
get together an army. "clad in iden-
tical uniforms. He was usually
happy enough If half OF his COM
mand had pants and shoes. But
his ragged army was able, some
how, to whip the highly -disciplin-
ed, exquisitely-uniformed English
troops, and make good Americas
Declaration of Independence.
Andy Jackson's backwoodsmen at
New Orleans hardly knew what
uniforms Were-nor can one picture
them doing any heel-clicking or
'button-polishing for any power on
earth. But it took them just two
hours to inflict a staggering defeat
on England's priced veterans of the
Napoleonic wars.
And in the Civil War-well, there
were outfits in that tragic conflict
which would measure up to Prus-
sian standards, but they were few.
Lees army was a ragged, chatty,
elaborately informal gang, and so
was Sherman's; and yet If dis
cipline be the quality which makes
a soldier perform great deeds coolly
in the very jaws Of death, those
armies had discipline that is be-
yond all praise.
All this is worth going into at
this length because American off,
GERS, above all others, should be
able to understand what discipline
really is. 1t isn't an endless parade
ground rigmarole designed to reduce
the soldier to machine; it Is
spiritual something which has MOTH
ing to do with shoeshining or salut-
ing. Our army should be the last
one on earth to succumb to Prus-
sianiSm.

MAKING THE NATION
IETTTICE Conscious

The Western Growers Protective AS
sociation is embarked on a campaign to
regulate the price of lettuce. Not crop
destruction, nor idleness of land, mol
any other similar means, will be used.
The association takes the simplest way,
and the most effective 1t will attempt
to increase national consumption OF
lettuce
The best of all possible ways will be
chosen to do this: advertising. Growers
in all lettuce areas are asked to cooper
ate in an advertising campaign to, in the
words of the current day, make the ma
ton lettuce conscious" Those who use
lettuce will be shown other ways to
make use of it, and those who do not will
be tempted to add it to their menu.
The advertising schedule will be so
planned that it will make its biggest
drive when the market is most in need
of sales. So will price regulation be
achieved.
Imperial Valley, where lettuce is
major crop, will watch the campaign
with more than casual interest. A good
price for lettuce is vital to full pros
perty in Imperial Valley. Anything
that will assure such good price Will
be welcomed here.

That outspoken soldier, Maj. Gen.
johnson Hagood, recently wrote a
book telling what he thinks is
wrong with the American army;
and all former doughboys will be
glad to know that he thinks one of
It's chief faults is its fondness for
the kind of Discipline which is
spelled with a capital D.
The American army has no Prus-
sian ancestors. unless you count
doughty old Baron Won Steuben.
But it has come under the Prussian
influence. nevertheless.
During the war, General Hagood
points out, some brass hat in Wash
ington issued, for the benefit Of
company commanders, a little bro
chure on the life of the soldier; and
in it was the outstanding assertion
that no troops could be considered
disciplined unless they were clad
in identical uniforms which were
kept scrupulously neat, clean, and
trim at all times.
y II X
Just how an American officer
could have committed heresy like
that is hard to understand. General
Hagood remarks that the best pos
sible field uniform would be simply
a suit of blue denim overalls-con-
sidering the great variety of ways
in which soldier is called on. to
get his clothes dirty when on active
service.
And one is forced to conclude
that simple course in American
military history would be the best
antidote for officers who have CIV

NOT ONE WEEK
BUT EVERY WEEK

Public Schools Week, which VIII De-
gin April 26, brings to mind the thougnt
that there should be no reason for such
a week. There should not be reason,
but there is. Too many people give too
little thought to the institutions when
train their children for manhood and
womanhood.
Americas public schools are second
in Importance to no institution. Neglect
ed, they may make for an inferior pop
ulation in years to come. Given the
cooperation of the public, they may do
much to continue the growth OF TINS
nation to a stature greater than any
other in the world.
1t is not enough to send our children
off to school, then forget about their
training The schools are pubic, as
their name implies. They are puDllc
responsibility. They are as good as the
public makes them.
Public Schools Week would not be
in vain if it brought with it the reailza-
fion that every week should have place
for consideration of school problems.

There were flashes OF unshod

uniform of a night club attache

Somebody suggested hospital but
