News Behind the News
- Mr.. Landon S Progress

WASHINGTON u Behind Republican scenes
the chief development of the last few weeks has
been the progress of Alf NJ. Landon to position
where his influence in the party now equals
and perhaps exceeds that of former President
Herbert Hoover.
In this contest for power between the de-
feated presidential candidate of 1896 and the
defeated presidential candidate of 1882, Landon
started from behind and fell even further be-
hind after one or two false starts.
His handicap lay in the fact that Hooyer'S
influence was more important in the COP ma
tional committee and among the political hench
men Hoover had attracted to himself in eight
years secretary of commerce and four as
president. Although there never was any friend
illness between the two men, the first open
breach came when Hoover campaigned indus
triously for national party convention this
year and Landon declared against it.
Landon undertook to assert his leadership
Of the party by addressing mass meeting
of all Republican voters by radio in an attack
on the Roosevelt administration. The speech
fell flat and Landon lost rather than gained
ground. Hoover himself then made speech
which seemed to help him more than it hurt.
Combined influence of Landon. the bulk OF
the Republican congressional minorities, various
would-be 1910 nominees and others who
pected that Hoovers convention proposal
designed to build up the ex-president for an
other nomination, proved enough to beat the
convention proposal when the national COM
mittee met at Chicago.
Some carefully timed blasts by important
Republican figures, who are undeniably anti
Hoover, forced compromise by which it was
agreed that the national committees executive
committee should choose a very large commit
tee of representative Republicans to draft
party statement of policy.
Republican in Congress are not impressed
by the makeup of this policy committee to
judge from their private comments
But the really important inside news about
the party is the fact that Landon, despite the ST
Louis doings, is now to be regarded by informed
politicians as at least strong a Republican
leader as Hoover if not more SO. Landon achiey-
ed this by two bold, spectacular strokes:
l. His flat assertion in Washington that he
would not accept the COP nomination in 1940,
even in the remote contingency that it was
offered him.
2. His publiczed assurance to President
Roosevelt that he would stand by him in mat
ters of international policy when, according
TO Landon, partisan considerations should be
forgotten
The second declaration was natural bound
to excite popular admiration and acclaim. Ger
tain other Republicans VINO started to pooh
pooh the Landon gesture stopped dead in their
tracks as they realized that Landon intention
ally or otherwise, had solidified his position as
a public figure.

Now S the Time
To Cheat Death

Now, with the new year scarcely more
than week old and with one highway
death already marked up against the
record of Imperial county, it is the prop
er time for every motorist in the county
to make sure that he will not be added
to the bloody total before 1889 comes
into being. There's only one way to make
sure, and that is to drive in such man
ner throughout the year that death will
not have a chance to occupy the drivers
seat.
Every person in the county knows
that an automobile is deadly weapon,
if not properly handled. 1t is the fault
of most of us that we always regard the
other fellow as the one who doesn't know
how to handle his machine. The death
rate will never be reduced as long as we
hold to such an opinion.
The California Safety Council has pro-
posed regular accredited courses in high
schools and colleges to teach pupils to
drive properly. The idea is a good one,
but what of those who have long since
graduated from school? Most of them
need some instruction, too.
Imperial county's death rate in traf-
fic would be non-existant if eyesy motor
list in the county could be taught to drive
as though every other auto contained
a maniac.

Be Content with People
As They Are

DR.. Frederick Woellner of the Univer-
sity Of California at Los Angeles gave
the El Centre Kiwanis club bit of adj
vice last week that applies TO every hu-
man being on the face of this old globe
and every one of us would be a lot
better off if we learned to follow his
advice.
1t is simply this: Be satisfied with
people as they are. Do not try to change
your friends to fit circumstances; change
the circumstances to fit your friends,
There is nothing particularly new or
startling about the advice. 1t is merely
a derivation of the old theme of a square
peg in round hole Yet it embraces
an idea that many of us never can get
through our heads.
Most of us have, at one time or an
other, tried to change the habits or the
PHILOSOPHERS or even the native traits
of the persons we love most deeply. And
probably, if We succeeded in changing
them, we did not love them as much
afterwards.
Every person is born into this world
with certain basic traits that determine
what sort of person he is. They last
through life time. They are the things
that make him an individual The fact
that he is unsuccessful in one thing does
not mean that he will be unsuccessful
in everything. 1t means merely that he
has been forced amid unfriendly circum-
stances, either by his own action or by
the actions of others. The necessary
thing is to change the circumstances;
not to change the man.
The leaders of men learn to accom-
plish things by assigning to every man
the task for which he is most fitted.
They do not choose recluse of the her.
nit type and try to make high pres
sure salesman out of him. They do not
try TO make business executive out of
a man who would rather draw pictures.
They do not try to turn bricklayers into
farmers.
Application of this rule to our every
day life would make each of us much
happier, and would rebound to the hap
piness of those with whom we come in
contact.
We can't plant roses in the desert and
expect them to grow without care-yet
cacti grow there with beautiful blooms.

marches on. The only thing We can
think of to add is And howl"
Lets take a glimpse at what
Americans we're thinking about in
January of 1918. These things, 20
years have done:
JANUARY, 1919 Bitter criticism
leveled at War Department for
failure of American arms program.
After eight months of war Amer
ican arms not yet available to
American soldiers. SECRETARY Ba-
ker savagely arraigned as a wob-
bling incompetent, almost a traitor.
JANUARY. 1898: Secretary Ba-
ker Just buried, is widely hailed
not only as the greatest secretary
of war the country ever had, but
as really great man.
JANUARY, 1918: General compl9-
isance and expectation that the
move will be permanent greets the
recent taking over of the country,s S
railroads by the government Tor
the war emergency.

raods bankrupt and nearly all OF

of culture and erudition, but often
a bit run down at heel. There was
Lawrence D'Orsay-looking Eng
liShman. once a shunter at the old
Paddingtotn station who became a
sub-editor of the London Times.
Lately he has been attached to an
American encyclopedia. He spoke
French fluently Indeed, he pro-
fessed to talk IN 20 languages and
to prove it would carry on credi-
table conversations with the Greek
shine boy, a German waiter and a
French bartender.
1t does not strike me there is a
place for Mae Vests dubious in
Elections on the radio. Nor on the
screen. for all that. In my book,
she is definitely for the Minsky
trade That much discussed ap-
pearance on Sunday night radio
hour had a tinge of sacrilege
Miss Vests brand of innuendos
does not strike me as even clever
double entendre, but if it were only
the usual jovial commonness it
has no right on programs heard by
children. Such cutlery material is
exactly what jockeyed the legiti-
mate theatre behind the eight ball.
Entertainment purveyors seem un-
able to learn the lesson of charm
and profits in 'Iightnin' which
ran three years without a single
suggestive line of situation. And
watch Snow White" with the
same purity top the movie records!
Strictly speaking, New York no
longer has sob sister. That is,
il the manner of Zoe Beckley,
Nixola Greeley-S Smith, Jane Dixon
and similar by-line favories of an
ether decade. The sob sister was
most conspicuous in the Evelyn
ThaW era. Special women Writer5
today, such as Adela Rogers st.
Johns and Helen Worden make no
effort to wiring tears. They merely
write from the feminine angle.
