Bruce Cation Says
FLORIDA Crime Points to False American WAY

1t is hardly straining a point to
detect in the sad business of that
Florida kidnapping a direct reflec-
ton of the shabby, wishful think
ing that We Americans are often
guilty of.
The most astounding thing about
that whole case was the calm, mat
ter-of-fact statement made by the
kidnaper after his arrest.
He committed the crime, he told
Mr.. Hooyer's G-men, besause "he
had been wanting the finer things
of life for his wife and himself
and had been unable to get steady
employment"
So, questing for the finer things,
he went ahead and committed one
of the most shocking crimes pos
sible to modern man, killed an
innocent child, and landed himself
in spot where the shadow of the
gallows is very clearly visible.

TIME TO CRACK DOWN
ON SPEEDING TRUCKS

Few Ell Centro motorists have escaped
a measure of nerve strain during the
last few weeks occasioned by speeding
trucks which, whether they have the right
of-way or not, assume they have and
protect their assumption with the bulk
of their vehicles in headlong course.
The shipping season in Imperial Val
ley seems always to be a season when
'Motorist Beware is the password.
Truck drivers, like other drivers, should
remember that the other fellow has some
rights on the streets and highways. They
should never depend upon the size of
their vehicles to earn them the right-of-
way at intersections, nor the right to
speed that is dangerous to themselves
and others.
Under ideal conditions, the truck driv-
ers themselves would learn that cour-
tesy pays. Since conditions are not ideal,
it is up to the law to teach them the les
son.

BARTER FOR 4 P4NDA

(Christian Science MonitOr)
For those who would like to own a
giant panda, much publicized denizen
of the mountains of Tibet, it has hereto
fore been possible to acquire one for
about So, 900 in the open market or by or
ganizing an expedition at a cost of about
$4,000. Now the New York Geological
Society has obtained one, fob San Fran
cisco, for total outlay of $500. And
therein lies a story.
Dean Sage, jr., who is a trustee both
OF the geological society and of West
China university in Chengtu, Szechuan
province, arranged barter by which the
university provided the panda in return
Tor books, lecture material and motion
pictures which are in as great demand
there as pandas are in the United States
Incidentally it is said that when news
OF the high American market for pandas
filtered to far-Off Chengtu in Szechuan,
there was an immediate glut of the ami
mails, brought in by hopeful natives. Not
scarcity in its original habitat but diff
Guilty of transportation seems the cruX
of the panda problem.
Nevertheless, the difference between
$4,000 and 1920 indicates that these in
stitutions of natural science and higher
learning know something about practical
mathematics and economics after all.

GERMANY ADMITS
ITS INCOMPETENCE

Nazi Germany, SO proud Of the Aryan
descent of its people, admits their great
est weakness in its merciless campaign
against those of the Jewish race If the
Nazis were the super-people they boast
of being, persecution of Jews would not
be necessary. Competition would elimi-
nate them.
1t has been the way of the physically
strong but mentally weak throughout
history to overcome, if they could, the
brains Of their competitors with their

of numbers to overcome the competition

WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT YOUR GOVERNMENT?

Eight aliens became citizens Of the
United States in FL Centre last Friday
after a naturalization examiner had
quizzed them on their knowledge Of the
United States overnment and its con-
stitution. Three were sent home for fur
ther study needed before they can pass
the citizenship examination.
If spectators in the courtroom where
the examination was held had depended
upon it to retain their citizenship-a
privilege that was passed to them at birth
chances are most of them, too would
have been sent home for further study
1t is a sad commentary on our own
knowledge of our own government that
most of US cannot answer the basic ques-
tions put to aliens seeking citizenship in
the United States.
Do you know, for instance what the
Bill of Rights is, what its chief purpose
is, and how it came to be a part of our
government?
An alien is required to know the an
swers before he becomes citizen. Per-
haps it would be good idea for the rest
of us, once in a while. to brush up on our
knowledge, so that we, too, might be bet
ter citizens

Census records for 1880 gave Texas Il

bureau estimate for 1887 reduced that
lead TO $4,000. If this ratio of increase
Is maintained, California will pass Texas
before 1910, causing the Golden State
to be fifth state in the union in number
of inhabitants.
Such expectation is in keeping with

If this were not so 'monStrous 1t
would be funny; and yet the
grotesque reasoning this stupid
Florida man followed can be seen
as a direct outgrowth of the sort
of reasoning that is common TO
most of us.
We all want these finer things
of life, and we have a rather
childish way of confusing them
with the things that money can
buy. OF course, a man who can't
feed his family or keep a roof over
his head is quite justified in MAX
ing some sort of economic indepen-
dence the first item on his list of
aspirations; but when that point
is passed. a civilized man must
realize that the things which real
ly make life worth living and are
really worth struggling for have
pecious little relation to a bank
balance.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-06-20

So we blunder cur way through
this world under a profound mis-
conception of what life really is all
about. We set the pace OF cur en-
tire social order by this unthink
ing desire TO get rich. AS by-pro-
ducts inevitably, our society throws
up mordid eXcresccnces like this
dim Drained kidnaper, who fanci-
ed that he could acquire the fin
er things of life by committing a
terrible crime.
once you assume that life's real
prizes are things that can be
bought with money, you open the
way for weird doings in the way
Of money-getting. And all of us
who have exalted the dollar must
share little of the blame for the
dreadful crime down in Florida.
