Going Fishing

1CoAdSllG 1IOOocVeltS ) UleSSdSS 70
the Young Democrats, taken at it's
face value, is essentially a restate-
ment of the purge" philosophy, but
with one important variation. The
1888 primary battle saw the Presi-
dent decidedly on the aggressive,
seeking to drive from the party GER
tain Democrats who would not go
down the line for his policies. The
message to the Young Democrats
still reflects the old determination to
crack down" on the dissenters, but
the President this time is on the de-
fensive. Instead of reading the con-
servatives out of the party, he is, in
effect, struggling to keep the New
Deal in.
But it would be a mistake to as
sumo that Mr.. Roosevelt is merely
fighting rear guard action to pro-
tect his retreating forces. Although
on the defensive, he is still striving
for party domination and is adjust
ing his strategy to meet altered cir
cumstances as he sees them.
1t is of some significance that the
President now has taken a position
from which there is but limited op-
portunlty for further strategic re-
treat. He has told the Democrats,
in substance, that their platform
must embody the salient features of
his New Deal and that their nominee
must be in sympathy with that plat
form, and, failing of that, he has
served notice, as he has an undiS-
puted right to do, that he will go
fishing" during the campaign against
the Republicans. But if the conserv-
ative Democrats should stand their
ground and prove capable of resist
ing the Presidents demands, the New
Deal for present purposes would be
at end. Mr.. Roosevelt must realize
that if he should abandon his party
his influence will be lost after the
1910 elections, and that thought sug-
gests the possibility that even now
he is looking forward to 1914, be-
lieving that four years of an anti
New Deal administration, whether
Republican or Democratic, would re-
suit in swing back to his philosophy
at the later date.
There remains, of course, the pos
slblllty that, if the President fails
in his effort to dictate the choice of
a platform and candidate, he will be
liberal in his Interpretation of the
word conservative" which he used
IN describing the type of candidate
he would not support. But he has
said that the language of the mes
sage to the Young Democrats was
very carefully chosen, and earlier in
that message he referred, first. to re-
dictionary Democrats - those who
want to undo the New Deal-and,
second, to conservative Democrats"
those who admit that "all of our
recent policies are not wrong and
that many of them should be re-
tanned" If Mr.. Roosevelt really
meant what he said there, it follows
that he will refuse to support any
nominee who is not very close to
being a one hundred per cent New
Dealer

Siren Soma

Hemet, Calf, is the scene of a
curious and disturbing phenomenon.
For more than week, every night
at nine o'clock shrill blast is heard,
lasting for an hour and a half, and
sounding something like a siren. In
one respect it resembles the siren of
ancient fable, in that it's voice brings
forth hundreds of investigators who
want to know more about it. The
nearby San Jacinto Mountains have
been combed in vain for an explana-
ton. The disturbance, whatever it
is, is as elusive as Little Sir Echo,
and apparently just as unsubstantial.
1t seems to invite observers to come
over and play with it, but is always
too far away. 1t is comparatively
easy to get within several hundred
feet of it, but impossible to pin it
down. At the psychological moment,
it skips off merrily just out of reach.
While it is impossible to classify it
as animal, vegetable, or mineral,
nevertheless there is something
strangely familiar about it. It is evi-
IDENTIFY very closely related to the po-
litical siren, whose song has been
abroad in the land 10 these many
moons, calling on all and sundry to
drop what they are doing and follow
it blindly to the promised land. There
is even chance that it is the same
identical one, taking a busman's hol-
iday after the adjournment of Con-
gress, to keep in practice for the next
session. Those who believe this point
to the fact that it is obviously an in
tangible, will-o'-the-wisp limiting
vaguely at big things ahead, just
around the corner, darting hither
and thither to lure on as many hope
full followers as possible, and eventu-
ally vanishing with mocking laugh.

OF CnlS Jlny group were governed by the
family elder, or head man.
Occasionally, however, good pine nut
harvest or successful community an
telope or rabbit hunt provided enough
food to support considerable group for
a few weeks. Eager for association with
friends and relatives rarely seen dur
ing the year, many families assembled
to dance and enjoy festivities. At such
times temporary leaders took charge of
communal activities.
A few localities were we'll watered and
more fertile. These permitted from so
to 100 persons to live in more or less
permanent association. Gathering seeds
together, hunting together and dancing
together, they had the beginning of a
band organization with permanent
leaders
The highest form of political organi-
zation occurred among the Northern
Shoshoni and many of the Ute. The
horse, which they acquired at an early
date from the Spaniards, gave them a
great advantage over the Western
Shoshoni. AS they could travel into the
Great Plains, they came to rely on the
bison rather than on seeds and roots.
The advantage of communal hunting
over individual hunting and the dangers
of raids by Blackfoot and Arapaho In
dians were incentives to remain together.
Thus they came to form bands and the
band activities were controlled by def
mite leaders. Neither the authority Of
the leader nor the size of the band were
absolute.
The report is the result of a study
conducted by DR.. Steward at intervals
for IL years, during which he visited
some isolated groups never hitherto
studied by ethnologists.

BILLIARD CHAMP TO
APPEAR WEDNESDAY

Erwin Rudolph, three-time winner
Of the pocket billiard championship
of the world, who will play an ex-
hibition match here at Recreation
Billiard Parlor, Wednesday at 1880 p.
na. is the holder of the highest run
ever made in an exhibition. The vet
eran c. C--Nc~t ION Cleveland
Ohio, set the worlds record in a game
at Great Falls, South Carolina, in
1885, when he achieved the most re-
markable string of 277 points in a
single inning. That performance has
never been equalled.
Prolonged runs are hardly a novelty
so far as the popular Rudolph is con-
cefned. One of the real veterans of
the sport, he has run 200 points or
more 1G times. $50 or more 25 times
and 100 or more over 800 times. He
has engaged in more than $500 ex-
hibition contests, losing only approx
mately so.
Born in Cleveland in 1893 of Bohe-
mian descent, Rudolph started play
ing pool at the age of 16. Two years
later, as a professional, he won the
Ohio State championship and in 1920
entered his first worlds championship
competition. Since then he has finish
cd first twice, second five times and
