STATE RELIEF IN POLITICS
[ San Bernardino Sum

(San BernardlnO SUM
Observers who claim to be on the inside
of the new political set-up in California
declare that the state relief administra-
ton, which has 1000 non-civil service jobs
at its command, will become the chief
political agency in state affairs.
We would doubt that Culbert Olson, a
crusading liberal, will permit anything
of the kind. The state relief adminiStra
tion has not been a patronage organiza-
ton under Governor Merriam. There was
lust as much pressure on the present
governor for jobs as there will be on the
new governor and Mr.. Merriam was able
to avoid undue political activity in his
relief organization.
Proposition No. on the November bal
lot, providing authority for the legisla-
ture to reorganize and consolidate the
duplicating relief agencies, was adopted.
The next legislature will undertake the
task. A long list of civic organizations
coOperated in the movement for reform
in relief administration activities. Doubt
less these organizations will continue
their interest One of the features of new
legislation should be the civil service
requirements for all employees.
The movement to get state jobs out of
politics has made important progress
during recent years and we do not eX
pect such a liberal as Governor-elect Oh
son to turn his back on the ideals that
caused the people of California by an
overwhelming vote to inaugurate civil
service

OUR FLAG IS AN EMBLEM,
NOT A FALSE GOD

A 39-year-old Merced rancher H. A.
Pulasky, was jailed this week because
he cannot understand the difference be-
tween an emblem and God. Mr.. Pulas-
ky's case Is not significant except that
II unfortunately reflects the idea of a
growing portion of our American popu-
lation.
Specifically, the rancher went to jail
on charge of violating the state COM
pulsory education act when he took his
children out of school because they were
required there to salute the American
flag. He considered the salute a viola
tion of religious principles-a worship
ing of pagan gods, as it were.
1t is an interesting sidelight possibly
without meaning, that he intends to
ask the American Civil Liberties Union
which so often has defended Commu-
nists-to help defend him in court.
1t might be we'll if Mr.. Pulasky, and
others like him, could be brought to the
realization that they and their children
when saluting the American flag, are
not saluting merely thing of cloth.
fringed with gold, barred with red and
white and dotted with stars on field
of blue. To salute bit of cloth would
be silly.
L lie IHlnS we salute, the INSTITUTION
we honor, is not bit of cloth 1t is an
emblem, and in its folds are wrapped
up the blood of martyrs to freedom,
the suffering of pioneers who blazed
trails where others feared to go, the love
for humanity of the worlds greatest
leaders, the greatest form of government
yet brought forth in this world. 1t is
America and the American government
we honor when we salute the flag.
Certainly that is no false god, no pag-
an diety. Certainly it deserves all the
honor we can give it.
Old Glory is not a thing unto itself;
it is, rather, an emblem of all that Amer
lea stands for. 1t is an emblem which
we should be proud, indeed, to call our
own.
Jesus himself was not averse to the
use of emblems His teachings are filled
with verbal emblems; even his actions
turned toward inanimate things as repre-
sentative of honored or divine facts To
Jesus wine and bread were emblems of
God Surely, to Americans it is not un-
Christian to see in our flag an emblem
of the nation we love.
We are proud to bare our heads when
our flag goes by; we are honored in the
right to repeat allegiance to the flag as
an emblem of this nation which we re-
gard as the greatest of them all.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS
NOgaleS Herald

tNOgaleS f1efdlQJ
About a year ago the bottom suddenly
dropped from under the flow of business
and, as income fell, it became necessary
to Law off thousands of workers.
Politicians Immediately jumped on this
to prove that business did not want re-
covery and charged that the depression
was conceived as political move by bus
iness to embarrass the present national
administration.
1t would be interesting to know how
these political economists now explain
the fact that just few weeks before
the election, at time when more men
should have been laid off to carry such
a strategy through, industry found its
markets coming back and rehired many
of those laid off. The automobile indus
try alone, which was reputed to be the
big bad wolf of the scheme, called back
more than 100000 workers within d
month before the elections.

Bruce Cation Says
DEMOCRACY Means Voting on War or Peace

Although Americans are sup
posed to be the greatest braggarts
III the world. and often do their
best to live up to the title, it just
happens that one of our troubles
these days is the fact that we're
not cocky enough.
Perhaps you could blame it on
the depression. The 1929 crash
made us discover that some of our
most cherished idols had feet of
clay: and we went on from there
to tabulate our faults in great de
tail, with the result that we fell
into the habit of picking flaws in
everything that has been done in
the last half century.
This may have been good for
us. A proud soul is usually all the
better for a little Christening. But
it did not create the best possible
psychological atmosphere for re-
covery. The elements that go to
make for recovery are intangible,
and one of the most important is
confidence confidence in ones
ability. in ones future, in the drive
and energy and intelligence of ones
fellows. A dash of the old time
American cockiness would have
helped wonderfully.
So it is proper to call attention
to remarks made the other day by
William O'Neil, president of the
General Tire and Rubber Company,
on his return from a tour of Eur
ope.
America may have her troubles,
says Mr.. O'Neil, but compared with
Europe she is practically next door
to the golden gate. The best labor
in the world and the best employers
in the world are to be found in
America; they operate in the
worlds richest market, and be-
tween them they maintain the
worlds highest standard of living.
Which leads Mr.. O'Neil to his
next point.
Some politicians" he says, have
tried to persuade us that America
succeeds because of its natural re-
sources and because it is a COM
paratively new country. Go to

COOPERATION WORKS
BOTH WAYS

EDITOR, The POSt-PreSS:
My letters to the press during the
last three years have been, in the main,
requests for cooperation in various cam
paigns for the promotion of safety on
the highways. Now, with the date of my
retirement as Director of Motor Vehicles
close at hand, it is my pleasure to eX-
press my appreciation of your close CO.
operation.
| feel secure in the belief that lives
have been saved by our constant safety
crusades and I am sincere in my state
ment that you should share the credit.
l have inferred that this letter, unlike
the others, would not be request but |
do have one request to make. | ask for
my successor, as yet unnamed, the same
fine spirit of cooperation you have eX-
tended to me and to the department dur
ing my administration.
George Rochester of Los Angeles, the
Deputy Director, joins me in this express
sion of appreciation.
Sincerely,
RAY INGELS,
Director, State Dept. of
Motor Vehicles.

Europe and you will see the fallacy
of this. Relatively there are more
natural resources in Rumania than
there are in the United States, just
as there are in Brazil, but this
country has gone ahead OF them
both"
And that is a truth it wouldn't
hurt us to remember.
We have had a rich continent to
exploit, to be sure, but that isn't
the whole answer and we do our
selves a diSseryice by pretending
that it is. Our great advantages
are human-our system of govern
ment, our social and economic Or
ganization. the vision and ability
of our business leaders, the intel
ligence and ambition of our labor.
It is on these things that Ameri-
cas- greatness has been built in the
past; it is on them that its recov-
cry from this depression will be
built
So it would help if we could re-
gain some of that old-time cocki-
ness. For recovery and progress
rest, after all, on confidence. We
don't create confidence by telling
ourselves that we're just lucky. We
can create it-and we have every
right TO do So-by examining the
reasons for past success and doing
little eXultant cheSt-thumping

1.-TWO YEARS ago, Pebeco chemists set
i out to create new type of denti-

free of harsh abrasiveS and irritants -.
with maximum cleaning and polishing
efficiency, yet SO gentle and soothing it
could not harm or irritate the most sem
sitive mouth.
Neither time nor expense was spared
in achieving these objectives. And they
were achieved eVen beyond our greatest
,expectatiOn%
For during the researches new cleans
ing agent was perfected and adopted -.
an efficient emulsifying detergent to help
remove the food particles that cling to
the teeth-a common local origin of
unpleasant breath.
This ingredient was christened "mira-
clene" and added to Pebeco's modern
lied formula-a formula we are proud
to publish. In tests over a period OF
months it was found to be not only an
effective aid in cleansing and brighten
The Washington times., 1938-10-13

ing the teeth, but also in maintaining
proper oral hygiene.
In technical language, "miraclene" is
a sodium sulfonate of an organic ester
new, active, gritless and sOapIeS cleanser
which bubbles around the teeth and acts
to loosen the grip of adhesive food par
ticles before they can cause trouble. Un-
pleasant breath is only one of the risks
from fermenting food particles. They
may also discolor the teeth, encourage
growth of decay germs.
To be efficiently removed they should
be em~lsjfed. And that is exactly what
"miracIene" in Pebeco now does. Read
Pebeco's open formula. You have right
to kmOw what you are using on your
teeth; they are priceless possessions
which deserve the purest, most whole
