WE'LL I'll
TeIIYou...
says
Bob Burns

suppose if little rooster could
see New York wake up and start
its early morning hustle and hustle,
he would think it was because he
crowed. Connected with the cham
ber of commerce of almost every
big and little town in California,
there is somebody who has written
little pamphlet on the wonders
of California and each one prObab-
ly thinks it was his individual
pamphlet that is bringing thou
sands of people into the state ev-
cry day.
One day Rev. Tweedle noticed
an intelligent lOOkin' man who had
attended his church several Sum
days in row so he came right out
and asked the man why he came
to his church. The man said, "Well,
like to relax on Sundays and it
amt often 1 can find such a COM
Portable seat with so little to think
about"

CROP OF SOURDOUGHS

Imperial Valley wisecracks have reach
ed the annual turning point. For months
the commonplace question has been "Is
it hot enough for you?" Vacationists
have taken rare delight in sending to
the valley postcards picturing icebergs
and cool beaches. But not any more. The
"west wind hasn't arrived, but cooler
weather has, and tenderfeet who came
to the valley this spring are officially
"sourdoughs", with valley summer be-
hind them

The HIGH COST OF
INDEPENDENCE

The primary election week ago in
Imperial county cost more than $4,000.
AS an indication of where the money
goes, S2500 will be paid out in S5 checks
for the salaries of election board Off
Gals Other checks go for the thousands
of ballots needed for the valleys SO pre-
cincts, for election supplies, for print
ing the index of all registered voters
and score of other items large and
small. For example, it cost $1.25 to vote
a single absentee ballot in the primary.
Such is the price we pay for democracy.
A democratic form of government is
the most costly type in the world. Ad-
mittedly it is the most inefficient, in
dollars and cents accounting and yet
it is the only form so far devised which
allows people to govern themselves.
In frequent criticism of the high cost
of self government, it is a point to re-
member that freedom and independence
are expensive but worth it!

the old American SplrlC OF nope
and confidence. What is 1t?
Perhaps we have just naturally
talked ourselves into a blue funk.
On the one hand we have politicians
declaring that our old business sys-
TENS has collapsed for good and
can never work again unless 1T is
controlled and directed from WASH
ington, on the other, we have GER
tain business leaders asserting that
business can never possibly re-
cover unless the government goes
fishing or takes a long nap or
something.
If all of that has persuaded some
citizens that all is lost and that
a wise man will fasten himself per-
manently to a federal payroll, who
can wonder at it? Perhaps If we
talked less, spent less time in re-
elimination, and devoted ourselves
more earnestly to an Unconditional
search for recovery, the panic
which lies back of these pension
plans would disappear.

Editorials and Comment
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER g. 1898
WHY U S. HAS INTEREST
IN CZECH DISPUTE
(Haverhill (Mass.) Gazette)

(Haverhlll (Mass.) GaZette)
1t is natural that President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hull should confer on
the Nazi-Czech crisis.
American interests are clearly involv-
ed in that crisis.
If the Nazis should decide to seize
Czechoslovakia, or the Sudeten portion
of it. the CZechs would resist. France
would go to Czechoslovakia' assistance,
presumably by attacking Germany on
the west. Italy, an ally of Germany,
probably would go to German assistance
by attacking France. Russia like France,
is under treaty obligation to help Czech
OslOvakia in the event of attack and can
be expected to meet this obligation. Po-
land and the Balkans soon would be
compelled to take sides.
And so would Great Britain. Sir John
Simon was saying what is clear to every
body-or should be-when he warned
Britons that the most pacific intentions
in the world could not keep their coun-
try out of a European war. Britain can
not tolerate an enemy across the channel.
Therefore, Britain maintains friendly
relations with France. Therefore, Brit
ain can not let France suffer crushing
defeat.
If France gets into a continental situ-
alton that she can not handle, Britain
must go to her assistance. This fact was
in Simon's mind when he prepared his
speech. And comparable fact must be
in the minds of Roosevelt and Hull when
they discuss the Nazi-Czech crisis.
The fact is that the United States is
convinced that it can not permit the de-
feat of Britain in a European war. This
was a fact that was vital to American
participation in the World war. We did
not go to war solely to save the world
for democracy, we did not go to war
solely to protect American investments
in the Allied cause, we did not go to war
solely because We accepted as gospel
lot of slick propaganda. We went to war,
fundamentally because we can not toll
crate hostile nation just across the At
lantic from us, nation that, if it con-
quered Britain, through Canada would
have a menacing fOothold on this hemis-
phere-and because race and custom and
tradition bind us to Britain.
We can be as pacific as the most ar
dent lover of peace and as isolated as
the remotest planet, but we can not
keep out of a European war that gets
extensive enough and bad enough to
endanger the positions of France and
Britain.
Simon's speech was applicable to this
country. 1t was more Of a reminder than
a warning-and a reminder that en-
phasizes the importance of success to
Prime Minister Chamberlains desper-
ate efforts to end peacefully the Naz-
Czech crisis

THE BIRTH BELL
Riverside Press)

The German people are not allowed
to forget about babies and the need of
them. According to the Berlin CORE
spondent of a London paper, "the prop
aganda authorities have installed bell
in the most active quarter of Berlin,
the Doenhoff Platz, where passers-by
can hear the bell peal every twelve min
utes - since, according to statistics, a
new child is born that often in Germany
Austria"
The correspondent seems to have been
too conservative apparently it should
be every twelve seconds; that is the rate
at which German mothers make their
contribution to the Nazi stock of can
nOn-fodder. And the propagandists hope
to step it up little more.

Famous Sayings

To an ordinary man who always
supposed that it was every citizens
duty to make the best provision he
could for his own old age, the tre-
mendoaS vote rolled up in Cali
fornia for the $30-a-month pension
plan must look like an evidence of
mass lunacy.
Yet We have lived long enough
with this frantic, unreasoning de-
mand for complete, government
furnished security to realize that
the thing can't be explained that
simply. The scheme to put every
body on the payroll once a certain
birthday is passed, and to finance
the whole business by an involved
set of rolling-stone taxes, may not
seem very smart-but you can't
dismiss it by simply calling it crazy.
There is more to it than an ig-
noble desire to live on somebody
else. Underneath it runs a very
real and widespread feeling of des-
peration-a panicky, unreasoning
fear that hunger and want are
likely to overtake person in spite
of the best he can do.
Now the mere fact that an emo
ton of this kind should take hold
of great numbers of people in the
United States-of all countries on
earth-is one of the most startling
things that could happen.
America has, by traction, been
the land Of opportunity, of optim-
ism, of refusal to accept defeat
The fact that such a pension craze
has taken hold hereto the extent
indicated by the California primary
is a startling symptom of change.
To be sure, We have been through
some desperately bad years of late.
We have learned that even an un-
believably rich and fortunate ma
ton can get into depression and
can have a mortally hard time
finding its way out.
Yet even that ought not to be
enough to make millions of Ameri-
cans conclude that every citizen
is entitled to free support by his
government once he passes GER
tain birthday. Somewhere, some
how, we have done something to

CHow many people can you call
by nameO
Nick procures a guests name
without asking him for it. His
restaurant is so situated that the
guest can be seen when he stops
for his mail As Nick poprs the
water ana arranges the table, he
watches until he sees the number
of the room penciled on the en-
velope. Then he telephones the
desk. When he calls the man by
name, naturally, it pleases him.
why, here is a live, up-to-date
hotel"
At times a page boy comes into
the dining-room calling name.
Nick steps up to the man whose
name he wants to learn and says,
Pardon me. Is the boy paging
you, Mr."
During the pause, invariably the
man says, Did he say Conway?'
and Nick has another name!
He writes the names in a book
and studies them. He is starting
his ninth book.
When a regular customer doesn't
come in for some time, he writes
him a letter. The man feels that
Nick takes an interest in him and
likes him and he comes back
to the Hotel Astor.
Last Christmas Nick got half a
bushel of post cards addressed
Mick, Hotel Astor, New York"
He says that after a guest has
placed an order he should never
have t. ask for anything. The
waiter should keep the guest sup
piled without being asked.
He has sc walters working under
him. He breaks them in by having
them wait on him! When the new
man can satisfy Nick he can salts
fy the most eXacting.
I asked him to give me his three
best rules for pleasing his guests.
Here they are:
l. Make people feel at home.
2. Don't try to railroad a GUS
toner into ordering something he
can't afford.
3. Don't say, "Do you want some
tliing?" Be specific. Say, do you
wish more potatoes, sir?" or May
l serve you with more gravy?"
Good advice for people in other
lines of Workl If Nick can call
10000 people by name, why can't
you improve your ability to re-
member names? OF course you can!
Go ahead and try.

Good Friday, Apr. l5, Drama club
 will present play in four episo- des entitled Simon, the Leper," Y" by Dorothy Clarke Wilson. The author has woven a story about the character of Simon, one of the nine lepers healed by Jesus, who forgot to thank the Master for is gift of health. Simon is truely grateful, however. His loyalty to Jesus in fact cost him his wealth and his betrothed. Then comes the announcement of Jesus crucifixion and the tragedy of human suffering expresses the minds of all. But the subsequent glad tidings of the resurrection dispels the gloom. Death and are seen in their proper light.
 Since the play will be a part of a religious service, there will be no charge for admission. A sil- yer offering will be received, nasmuch as the cost of production is considerable.

Child Health Week Be Observed
 Nome, Alaska

MAY DAY has again been pro claimed Child Health Day by h" Alaskan Territorial Health De partment and plans are being pr pared fer the annual c9lebrat 7r Superintendent Calvin Pool the public school has been az pointed local chairman by th- Territorial Health Department.
 This is Alaska's second annual celebration of May Day-Child Health Day. By the act of Con- gress of May l8, 1888, the Presi- dent is authorized and requested to proclaim annually May lst as National Child Health Day. Each such yearly proclamation of the U. s. President is in reality an appaI to ach organized cornmun- ity to mobilize all local resources for the conservation and improve ment of child health.
 This May Day has been put on the calendar as a red letter day to focus the attention of the large number of people upon things which go on all through the year, but remain unnoticed. l. can really be called a day for balancing the ledger between the status of community health on one side, and thl stock taking of facilities and resources for the promotion of health on the other side of the ledg5r. This latter must include all phases of life as they affect the child. It must in- clude safe water and safe milk supply, facilities for protection from communicable diseases, ade- quate facilities for health super vision of young children in the homes and older children in the schools.
 However, achievements and ac- compliShments of organized pub lie health depend very much on the intelligent cooperation of the individuals who constitute the public. w cannot too strong ly stress the fact, that eventually improved health for mother and child must be made not only community, but a personal re- sponsibility.
 The entire community should participate in the public observ- ance of Child Health Day and should maintain through out the year its efforts toward cognanun- ity health improvements stressed on that day.
 A meeting of the Community Health Council is called for Mon day, April 11th at P M. at the high school to assist in prepar- ing plans for this important health drive.
