WHEN IT IS TO LAUGH
That politics come ahead of national welfare with a
large wing of the present Congress is shown in the ef
forts to have both major political parties adopt identical
liquor planks in their forthcoming platform.
This is the way of the professional politicians and
especially those who consider retaining their places re
gardless of their fitness.
The prohibition question has been scouted by three
Republican administrations as tabu despite a nation-wide
protest and demand that the people to be given a chance
to express their views on the question, a thing they were
not permitted to do when this pernicious measure was
rammed down the throat of the nation and while the Amer
ican army was abroad.
It must be credited to the Democrats that they have
continually sponsored a resubmission or Congressional
modification of the Volstead act.
Thus when the Republicans seek to reach an agree
ment with their adversaries whereby they steal half their
thunder, it shatters of old-time political skulduggery which
will fool only immature minds.
The nation desires that this question be faced un
equivocally by one of the major parties, that the respon
sibility may be definitely fixed.
Possibly nothing has gone farther to undermine faith
in political leaders than this log-rolling for personal gain
instead of clear-cut lines drawn upon issues.
Another tendency to thwart responsibility has been
the alleged independence of members of Congress and its
attendant secession from party discipline. Thus we have
grown into something like the European system of Rights,
Lefts, Centerists, Socialists, Mugwumps which consti
tute the various “blocs.”
The Republicans have had 10 years in which to make
a decision. The Democrats have been on record in sup
port of resubmission or modification from the start.
Any effort to split the question in half should be re
sented.
DISCOVERED CHEW
TEEMS WITH TALENT
Unrevealed talent has been pop
ping up in the crew of the U. S. S.
Discoverer during her stay in port
this trip, several of the crew show
ing remarkable aptitude for
many of the trades and profes
sions.
Henry Hiram Nelson, chief writ
er, has given indication of latent
skill as a man’s stylistic expert.
Paul “Mexecano” Fisher, assistant
to Nelson, aside from being the
ship’s most polished bridge expert,
has exhibited superior skill as a
horseback rider, possessing all the
qualifications for the training of
high school and college horses.
“I have been looked upon as an
architect in the past six years,”
said Fisher, “but after all I may
change my mind.”
James Baker, first assistant to
the chief engineer, in his daring
and resourceful extinquishing of
the theater “fire”, showed marked
ability as a fire chief.
“My forte is lighthouse keeping,”
said Baker, “but this experience
opens up a new field.”
ADMIRAL MINING
HIS HIDE STRIKE
The ore body recently struck
in the propertv of the Admiral
Mining Compare, nine miles west
of Valley, W ??'■>., has widened
from six to 10 feet as work pro
gressed on the vc n in the last few
weeks, accord!-w to J. Richard
Brown, engineer in charge
“The ore has been followed forj
over 65 feet and is in a fine body ;
of chalcocite which it would pro
bably be easy to hand-sort to 15
per cent copper,” he said. “There
would be no object in shipping at
present metal prices.”
Trainmen don’t get off a train
after it is moving, stated the late
Wm. Wrigley, Jr., when once asked
why he continued advertising af
ter having built a great business.
In view of the fact that ready
cash is less available this year than
it has been in years past, the fol
lowing suggestion for the Fourth of
July celebration &as made at a re
cent meeting of Seward Post No. 5,
American Legion: That the size
and scope of the celebration this
year should be determined by the
amount of funds contributed.
Donations for the celebration will
be received by Seward Post volun
tarily and unsolicited, the total sum
donated to be used for the cele
bration based upon the amount re
ceived. •
No committee will call on you.
Messrs Hopkins, Sheldon and Chil
berg have been authorized to ac
cept contributions, or they may be
mailed direct to the Seward Post
of the American Legion. A list of
those donating and the amounts
donated will be made public from
time to time. On June 20th the
amounts received will be totaled
and the celebration planned.
