Famous Sayings
Bruce Carton Says
- Thermometers, BaIIyhoo, Valves and Steam

A useful thermometer to test the
temperature of the voting public
would seem to be the amount and
the nature of the ballyhoo used by
candidates in their campaigns for
office. When the ballyhoo is wild,
woozy and effective, the public's
temperature is up; when it becomes
semi-respectable, or fails to regis
ter with the electorate, you can as
sumo that John Citizen has nothing
in particular on his mind.
Judging by the recent primaries,
the voters temperature right now
is up-and maybe going higher.
Hillbilly bands, wholesale pension
promises, appeals TO every crack
potism and cureall in the politicians
lexicon-all of these things have
characterized the ballyhoo of this
summers campaigns. In some states
they have worked, too. AS a result,
we are due TO have a sprinkling
of more than ordinary untamed
demagogues in congress and divers
gubernatorial mansinos next fall.
Now it should not be in the least
surprising that the electorate is
suffering form a slight fever. After
what the American people have
been through in the past decade
an above normal temperature is
only to be expected. The point to
bear in mind is that the attack of
fever is, after all, relatively mild
For although the summers cam
paigns are tossing some queer fish
to the surface, they are not bring
ing up anything really dangerous
There is no slightest sign OF the
formation of one of those unthink-
ing mass movements on the Euro
pean pattern which might sweep
across the country and put our in
stitutions in peril.
The reason for this is obvious
The free-and-easy democratic pro-
cesses which premit demagogue'
and crackpot to have field da,
ever so often are the very things
which act as safety valves for dis
content. They permit people to blow
off steam. They bring the self-ap
pointed Mesiahs out into the opel
early and force them to expos

THEY DON'T HAVE
TO BEG FOR MEALS

w. II. Lorenz, CaleXico police Judge,
this week vented the anger of society
upon prisoner who was arrested for
begging on the streets. A six months
Jail sentence was imposed upon the beg
gar.
If more of US followed the lead of
Jude Lorenz, there would be less petty
larceny. and perhaps less major crime
in Imperial Valley. Beggars are anti
social, finding their level in the same
strata that produces burglars prowlers
and others of that type. There is no need
i'm this dav of organized and government
relief for anyone to beg on the streets
or from door to door. Thus the majority
of those who do beg are motivated by
one of two reasons:
l. Begging is profitable business.
A beggar arrested last week in San Ra-
fael was found to have a bank account
of $21 800.
2 Begging from door to door provides
ample excuse to survey premises which
the beggar may hope to visit later in
less humble and more predatory guise
as burglar.
The man who was sentenced to six
months in the Imperial county jail for
begging deserved every day of the SEN
tence Had he been actually in need, he
might have gone to one of the several
agencies organized for the benefit of
persons like him. He did not have to beg.
Residents of this county can do much
to protect themselves and their commu-
nity if they not only will refuse to give
money TO beggars, but will report to
police the presence of the individual in
the community.
Beggars are men-and sometimes wo-
men-who play upon the sympathetic
emotions of other persons for their own
gain, and themselves have no such emo
tons as those they profit by in others.
Remembering this, the community would
be wise to rid itself of these undesirable
Vagrants.

Mr.. DEANS EGO
New York Herald Tribune)

tN6W OGh
The case of Mr.. Jerome H. C"Dizzy'O
Dean, highly talented, but eccentric
baseball pitcher, presents several unu-
sual aspects, interesting alike to the base
ball fan and the student of behavior. 1t
will be recalled that Dean a simple
minded fellow from Oklahoma, was pur-
chased by the Chicago Cubs from the
st. Louis Cardinals for $185,000 and
three playerS-a neat sum even for these
days Then, on May 3, his arm became
ailing and he announced hescOuld pitch
no more. He even talked of suing the
st. Louis club for having overWorked
him. In this crisis, with much money and
prestige involved, the Chicago baseball
brains began work on Dean. Experts
examined his arm. Specialists wheeled
out fearsome-looking machines in an
attempt to find out what, if anything,
was the matter with him. He got more
attention than the Dionne quintuplets
get when they have a cold. There were
masseurs, bone and muscle doctors, ra-
diotherapists and what not. On top Of
all this they set a psychOanalist on his
trail. Nothing worked. The great man
became dizzer and dizzier. Into the situ-
alton stepped Mr.. P. K Wrigley, owner
Of the Chicago Cubs Che probably was
thinking of his $185, 5,OOO), who ordered
Dean to pitch last Sunday, arm or no
arm. Well, Dean turned in mastery
performance, holding Boston to four hits
He had everything. 1t would seem, there
fore, that Mr.. Wrigley qualities as gen.
uine psychiatrist of rare potency. Yet,
his method was hardly original. The
treatment has been known to work be-
FORE in other fields.

NORMA SHEARER
BOWS OUT

Either the press agents have put one
over again on the American press assocl-
alton or Actress Norma Shearer IS
very courageous woman, or both.
1t is rather difficult to penetrate the
glamor of Hollywood press agentry to
reach the facts of Miss Shearer's action
in turning down the role of Scarlet
O'Hara. There are several possibilities: !:
The million or so people who read
Gone With the Wind" may have pro-
tested that Miss Shearer did not fit the
part.
Miss Shearer herself may have be-
lieved she didn't fit the part.
The press agents may have arranged
the entire affair in advance-to get the
forthcoming picture on Page One again.
Of so, they succeeded admirably
Whatever the underlying reason, many
moving picture fans who saw Miss Shear
er in the role of Juliet will be glad she
is not going to play the spit-fire role of
Scarlet An equal number who have
their own mental picture of Scarlet will
be glad for other reasons that Miss
Shearer is not going to play the part.
And some. who believe Miss Shearer
is a sufficiently capable actress to play
any role cOnvincingly, will be sorry she
will not get a part radically different
from any she has ever played
Others know that, regardless who
plays Scarlet, a whale of lot of people
are going to think somebody else would
have been better. Maybe Miss Shearer
knows that.

UCAPAWA, CI0 OR REDS
TAKE YOUR CHOICE
{ Associated Farmer)

Practically all Of the regions in North
ern California where the fruit harVeStS
are in progress have been visited by or
ganizerS and agitators for the CIO field
union, known as the UCAPAWA. To date
their efforts have met with very little
success. The Winters area, scene of
strike last year, was passed up with a
meeting or two, the workers displaying
no enthusiasm over the agitatorS' sug-
gestions. Attempts to create strike in
Contra Costa county got no further than
a rather bedraggled attempt to form
picket line. A strike in the apricot har-
vest in San Benito county lasted just a
part of one day. The most serious threat
was staged at Bryte, in Yolo county,
just outside of Sacramento. Here the
UCAPAWA, under the direction of a
couple of old comrades, held forth for
a few days.
On Wednesday, July 13, quite num-
ber of the pickers who were picking fruit
on the Rose pear orchard of the Earl
Fruit company went on strike. They
were successful in driving from the or
chard those workers who did not wish
to strike. This they did by making
threats and by pulling down the ladders
from under the workers who continued
to work.
The farmers of the area came and
volunteered their services to see that
threatened violence did not occur. The
proper law enforcement agencies insist
ed that all laws be observed by every
one concerned. Workers who had been
forced out against their wishes asked
to return to work. Deputized officers
