THE OLD WAY
NOT ALWAYS BEST

Near INLAND a man Is growing toma-
toes in muslin covered frame house.
Some of the plants are little fellows;
some are 10 feet high. The tomatoes
grow big or little, as the grower wishes.
Within certain limits, they ripen when
he desires
Perhaps his system of tomato growing
will never be universally adopted in I'M
perial Valley. He is still experimenting
with seasons, fertilizers and all the other
details of crop growing. If the system
does prove practical for a large crop,
there will be some growers in the valley
who will use it Immediately, some who
will use it later, grudgingly, and some
who will never use it. These latter are
the kind who believe always that the old
things are best.
The miniature tomato patch near Nj
land is interesting to tomato growers
because it may show them a new way to
make their business more profitable 1t
is interesting to the man who knows
little about tomatoes, except that they
are good to eat, because il proves that
in every line of endeavor there are new
ways to do things, and new fields TO eX-
plore.
The grower who Scoffed at the INLAND
experiment without first seeing how ii
works would be CHANGING the loss of
valuable knowledge. 1t is the same with
the average person who scoffs at the
new things simply because they are new
There are always such people-and al
ways they are in the rear-guard of prog
resS. Because new things are beyond
their ken, they refuse to recognize that
new things might be better than old
The world has come through centuries
of development because here and there
were men who kept up a constant search
for new things. To these men the world
owes its present state of civilization, and
the least the world can do in their honor
is to give a fair trial to those latest new
things that come along from time to
time.
The old way is not always the best
way.

Every disconnected angle of the for

In America the watchword is and al

government.
Since the beginning of social Organiza-
ton, individuals have divided themselves
into three groups, so far as their ideals
of governmental theory have been dis
covered by historians and legal philoS-
OpherS.
One group is that which believes in
organized might. which proclaimS the
weak must die"
Another is that which defines justice
as the equality of law-an equality which
limits the strong and thereby protects
the weak-an equality which proclaims
that laws shall apply to every individual
equally and shall be administered impair
TALLY.
One or more of those theories of JUS
tice has influenced world affairs since
the beginning of social organization. They
are the keystones of the political history
of mankind.
Students of history who are of mind
to be charitable toward all theories of
government might contend that all gov
ernment, of whatever nature, represents
the cropping of men for liberty. But even
these charitable souls are bound to dis
Germ almost without effort the fact that
a dictator's idea of liberty is opposite to
the ideal stoutly defended by true liber-
alsts, The dictator's leadership depends
solely upon his ability to maintain, by
force or otherwise, his followers SO long
as he can compel his followers to remain
in state of subservience, he may retain
his own power.

KIDNAPPING AND
CRIMINAL PUNISHMENT

In Florida and in New York child kid
napings have made front page news this
week-the kind of news that makes the
hackles on your neck rise in anger. Thugs
worse than murderers have stolen young
children from their families in each place,
and have asked ransom for return of the
children. Ocean waves returned one
child's body to his parents in New York,
terribly mutilated
A normal person cannot understand
the fiendish impulse that embarks any
one on kidnapping crime, much less the
crazed mind that allows the kidnaper to
add murder to his other crimes. Yet or
ganized society-the society made up of
normal, average peoples partly re-
sponsible.
A criminal system that allows habitual
thugs to go free from prison on parole,
that turns known moral degenerates loose
without trial because their trial would
cost too much or because some "respec-
table" member of society will not testify
against them, is deserving of most of
the blame for such crimes as those of
New York and Florida.
The law of averages, borne out BY
federal prison records and departments
of justice lists, makes it highly probable
that the New York and Florida fiends,
when captured, will be found to have
lengthy previous criminal records.
extremely weak?
We believe in giving criminals a chance
to rehabilitate themselves, but we do not
believe in carrying that chance 50 far
that the fields Of crime are thrown open
even wider to them.

PUNCTURING OLD TRADITION
Riverside PreSS)

The hlde-bOund tradition that life ends
at forty-or perhaps fifty-as far as in
dustrial and business fitness, productive
ness and efficiency are concerned, has
now been publicly challenged by one of
the very best authorities on the subject
the medical profession.
Not only is that tradition being ques-
toned in the ranks of the medical frater-
mites, but the movement to keep older
people in productive employment, either
on a pieceWork or full-time basis, is be-
ing strongly backed by the profession
from one end of the country to the other
These developments were brought out
in sharp relief at the recent annual meet
ing of the American College of Physi-
clans at convention in New York, pre-
sided over by Dr. William J. Kerr profes-
sor of medicine in the University of Cali
fOrnia Medical school,
In a great hospital at Welfare Island,
in New York state, the community, it
was learned by the delegates, is not only
returning many of its old folk to gainful
employment, but is helping overcome
many of the bugaboos regarding the
disabling effects of the aged. In Cali
fornia, San Francisco is planning SINH
lar hospital at the Laguna Honda Home.
In the convention Of the American Col
lege of Physicians, DR.. George Morris
Piersol, professor of medicine in the

Famous Sayings

We would be a pretty fine peo-
pie if We could live up to our pro-
fessed principles. We talk very
sensibly indeed, but there usually
is pretty big gap between the
way we talk and the way we act.
For sample, there is the capi-
tal-and- labor business.
We are very fond of saying that
there is no real, basic conflict be-
tween capital ana labor, that their
interests are III the long run iden-
teal and that the sensible thing is
to recognize that fact and behave
accordingly.
Yet so rarely do representative
leaders of capital and labor act ON
that theory that when they do it
becomes front page news.
A good deal of attention has
been drawn to the fact that in San
Francisco on June 3, leaders of the
business community and of the
CLIO. are going to hold big mass
meeting to see if some peaceable
and mutually profitable way of
getting along together cannot be
found.
The background of that meeting
is interesting. The last four years
of San FranciSco's Labor history
have been more than little
stormy; so this spring a group of
industrial leaders appointed a
committee to study industrial re-
lations and work out a program to

deal of preliminary work, invited
the labor leaders to join in Great

which capital and labor can get
along and prosper together.
What will come of this meeting
is, of course, open TO speculation.
Maybe the whole plan will fall
through. and San Francisco's val
liant effort to obtain fair peace
will come to nothing But the inn
portant thing is that the effort is
at least being made.
Yet it is strange, when you stop
to think about it, that the fact
that this effort is being made
should be news.
These San Franciscans, after all,
are doing nothing more than act
ing on a principle We all give lip
service to-the principle that cap
ital and labor are going III the
same direction and can help each
other get there.
If that principle is true, as we
all say it is, why aren't there more

Evidence of monopoly law viola

Justice Department files, under
Arnold'S new policy. 1t will be
tossed before grand juries and
courts for whatever it is worth.
And instead of dropping anti
trust criminal prosecutions when
defendants promise to cease the
violations with which they're charg-
ed. Arnold and Attorney General
Cummings will insist on further
"cleanups" by accused corporations,
designed to promote public interest
and free competition, before they
recommend nolle PROSE- OF indict-
mentS. No one can tell how this
will work out. but the policy con-
tains large possibilities in the field
of supervision of induStrial-flnancial
practices.
In its current action against the
Ford Chrysler and General Motors
companies. the government is con-
cerned with complaints that the
automobile companies have diScrl-
minated against independent fin
ance companies, that dealers have
been coerced into doing retail fin
ancing only with finance compaieS
affiliated with manufacturers, that
dealers were making secret profits
on time sales as a result of eXceS-
sive charges required by finance
companies and that in one case
bad practices were aggravated by
an automobile company'S complete
ownership Of its associated finance
company.
just what else Arnold would cX-
pect the companies to stop doing
or start doing-is his own secret.
No one can prove charges of Ger
man newspapers that the U. S. gov
ernment induced President Vargas
of Brazil to take the stern measures
against FascistS and Nazis which
preceded the recent attempted
coup de'etat at Rio de Janeiro.
But Roosevelt and Secretary Hull
secretly have been patting Vargas
on the back.
Last summer the Integrelistas,
with Nazi connections, were max
ing headway in Brazil Vargas in
vited them to put on a parade
promising to review it, The Presi
dent had his men out with me-
chanical counters which proved tht
IntegreliSta marcherS numbered but
a third as many as their leaders
said they had mustered. Vargas
then revised the government and
left Integrelistas out, broke up Ger
man cultural" societies, deported
or jailed many German NaZi or
ganizers and pretty well ruined the
IntegreliStaS
The State Department has seen
no evidence to prove the claim of
Vargas that the amateurish at
tempted revolt was inspired from
Berlin. Vargas is thought to be
making the claim for home con-
sumption. But Vargas is a pet hero
in Washington, just the same.

important than outstanding good

5. The girl must be from sixteen
to twenty years old. Sometimes
Fanchon selects older girls. but
they must have outstanding ability
in some other way.
6. The sixth most important
thing is personality.
7. Disposition. A fretful, fault
finder is a trouble-maker when the
girls are out on a circuit, and
Fanchon does not want her.

me most was Number 6. Even
though a girl does not speak a
word, her personality either gets
across the footlights, or doesn't
