October 29, 1926, had this to say. We quote:
"The American home labor, industrial and
business life today is upon the highest plane
it has ever been, and is the envy of the rest
of the world. Our young people are satisfied
to remain in their own country. Our labOring
men have turned down fatty pleas of Russian
agitators to encourage or extend the Russian
system of demorilization to the United States.
Our corporations, our churches and our news
papers are rendering greater service to the
public, dollar for dollar, than has ever been
enjoyed. Our people are better informed on
public questions, and for that reason are less
easily fooled by political side-shows which re-
act to the detriment of prosperity and of gov
ernmental stability"
That was what the Chronicle said twenty
one years ago. Since that time new genera
tiOn has come of age-moSt of whom have
never known the tranquility of the sane days
of the past. They have been taught through
the Roosevelt dynasty, and rule, to look for
crisis after crisis, to follow unsound economic
PHILOSOPHERS, to look upon the Federal gov
ernment as the source of easy money, to lose
the sense of responsibility of the past and to
founder in the helplessness engendered by
the new deal teachings of their childhood and
early youth. The New Deal fiourished on its
man-made emergencies, its spending spree,
unequaled in the history of the world, and the
designed effort to pit class against class and
race against race.
This trend is being checked with the re-
turn of reason and the application of good
common horse sense - but the Washington
gang must be watched, and watched closely,
lest they again lead us into further trouble
and economic disaster.

BACK.SEAT DRIVERS

The right kind of back-seat driv-
er may be able to cut the Nations
traffic toll. Accident statistics
show that passengers fare worse
than drivers in fatal crashes, in
dicating that passengers have more
to lose from careless driving or eX-
cessive speed than their drivers
have, and thus would profitably
speak up against dangerous driving.
Two out of three accidents in the
