PRESIDENT HARDING, AND SENATE BLACKGUARDISM Senator Stanley of Kentucky, is alarmed for "freedom of speech and of the press" "because President Harding is quoted as disapproving the blackguardism" practiced by certain members of the senate. A filibuster against the tariff bill has been used by these senators as an excuse for speeches reckling with personal vilification, invitations to fistic combat and other exhibitions of rowdyism and rough-neckism more discreditable even to Democratic leadership than to the legislative body which fails to terminate the spectacle by an order to vote on the pending measure within a reasonable time. What Senator Stanley is engaging in is an attack upon, not a defense, of freedom of speech. His suggestion that President Harding has no right to criticise the senate minority for counternancing the methods that are now being used to personally "smear up" officials of the government merely because they happen to be Republicans, is a revival of that spirit of intolerance and tyranny which brought about real suppression of free speech and free press under an administration dominated by Senator Stanley and his party associates. The strategy of the senate Democrats included, the other day, charge that a hotel dead beat and forger who was taken into custody on complaint of a Washington hotel keeper he had defrauded, had been brought to grief by "Burns men" only because the "victim" was the son of an Ohio Democrat who had been furnishing "information" to senate Democrats in their personal campaign against Attorney General Daugherty. Coincident with the inauguration of prosecution of some of the gentry who robbed the government by wholesale during the Wilson administration, an outcry has arisen among senate Demowould wreck reputations and create suspicions. In this case a woman, by going to Mrs. Phillips with covert suspicions, veiled hints and warped truths, brought on one of the most appalling deeds ever committed in this state. And now that she has inspired this gruesome tragedy, this mischief-maker, a few days ago posing as the friend of Mrs. Phillips, is just as ready to turn against her. This is the typical character of the gossip and busybody—treacherous, without conscience, caring naught for trouble, the heartache, the positive harm accomplished. What to do about it? Arrest and punish every one who circulates a slanderous lie, if it be possible to place guilt upon the slanderer—but often times this is not possible. For the slanderer is a coward and speaks in whispers and hides his or her scoundrelly work. Another thing, there would soon be an end to malicious gossip if no one would listen to it. Too many persons are overfond of hearing the unclean about others. It is the eager ear that inspires the gossiper. MISERABLE CONDITION OF TRANSCONTINENTAL ROADS Complacent residents of southern and central California are getting jarred out of their somnolence by eastern-reports in regard to the undesirable condition of the western ends of the great transcontinental highways, according to a report just issued by the auto club. Sleepy tendencies on the part of those who use local boulevards and do not give a thought to the bad impressions received by all visitors entering the state over the routes leading here from the middle west hark back to the times of the Dons, it is pointed out by those who have welfare of motoring interests at heart.

One stormy ties the first survey, Clare. complaint of a Washington hotel keeper he had defrauded, had been brought to grief by "Burns men" only because the "victim" was the son of an Ohio Democrat who had been furnishing "information" to senate Democrats in their personal campaign against Attorney General Daugherty. Coincident with the inauguration of prosecution of some of the gentry who robbed the government by wholesale during the Wilson administration, an outcry has arisen among senate Democrats against the prosecuting official. Information furnished by one of the indicted men has been made the basis of attacks upon Attorney General Daugherty. There is no justification for the claim that free speech and free press are in danger because the president of the United States has given expression to the disgust felt by people generally on account of the low level to which the attacks upon individual members of the administration have fallen. Under the Wilson-Burleson regime there was, indeed, limitation of freedom of the press and of free speech. Thousands of people who did no more than criticise the Wilson administration along the usual political lines were threatened with jail. The post-office department's control of postal privileges and the administartion's control of transportation and paper supply was made the basis for an intimidation of the press quite without parallel in our history. Because this was being done in the interests of Democratic leadership, it caused no disturbance in the minds of Democratic politicians, including Senator Stanley. Now these same politicians would prohibit the president from giving expression to his opinion of black guardism in the senate, and if they had the power undoubtedly they would put their purpose of suppressing all criticism of their conduct into effect. When Democratic leaders in the senate resort to "hill billy" tactics, such as threatening to "smash the faces" of colleagues who disagree with them, when they accuse men like Secretary Hoover of stealing the funds contributed for Red Cross relief, when they fill the air with clamor over the arrest of a hotel dead beat on the ground that it represents an attack upon the senate minority's source of information, when it attempts to give the appearance of criminality to the act of a cabinet official because he was once employed in an entirely regular way, as a lawyer engaged in the prac- ble condition of the western ends of the great transcontinental highways, according to a report just issued by the auto club. Sleepy tendencies on the part of those who use local boulevards and do not give a thought to the bad impressions received by all visitors entering the state over the routes leading here from the middle west hark back to the times of the Dons, it is pointed out by those who have welfare of motoring interests at heart. Letters are pouring in to the Automobile Club of Southern California from every point in the United States to the tune of fifty a day in regard to touring information on the highways leading across the continent, and practically every letter mentions the fear of the writer in regard to the California portions of the transcontinental roads. By the end of the year there will have been 85,000 visiting motor parties arriving in southern California. This number would be almost doubled next year if the interstate routes in California were better, say the authorities. But California is not doing a thing about it. It is the desire of the auto club to awaken the public to the point where there will be a wide-spread demand that action be taken at once toward the smoothing out of the road-wrinkles on the transcontinental thoroughfares within the boundary of this state. THE JAPANESE JITNEY From Tokio comes the word that the Jitsuyo Jidosha Seizo company has raised its output of the appropriately named Jitsuyo light car to fifty a month, and is planning plant expansions which will mean greatly increased production. The Jitsuyo, or Jit, is the flivver of Japan and even more diminutive than the best advertised car in America. Originally designed as a three wheel car, but now built with four, it has a wheel base of 72 inches and a tread of only 38. It seats three, with the driver in front and the others side by side. Both doors, because of the Japanese rule of the road, are on the left side. Exhaustive army tests have shown an average gas consumption of thirty miles to the gallon. An American devised the machine, but production is now wholly in the hands of Japanese engineers, and the new car, because it is Nippon made, and easily handled, is rapidly becoming GOSSIP INCITES TO MURDER It was mischievous, vicious, groundless gossip by a female busybody which inflamed the mind of Mrs. A. L. Phillips and frenzied her with jealousy until her mad passion resulted in the shocking slaying of Mrs. Alberta Meadows. This is the conviction of attaches of the sheriff's office in Los Angeles. One of the deputies of Sheriff Treager is quoted as saying: "A woman's tongue has battered another woman to death. But it is still working—working to send another woman to the mad house, a penitentiary or a gibbet. And what can be done about it? Nothing. That busy tongue will wag on despite all the damage it has already done." A faithful arraignment of the miserable wretch, male or female, who An American devised the machine, but production is now wholly in the hands of Japanese engineers, and the new car, because it is Nippon made, and easily handled, is rapidly becoming popular. It is now hailed by the progressive Japanese as the inevitable successor of the "ricksha." Let us hope it does not take the place completely until some of us have seen and ridden in the traditional coolie-drawn vehicle. JUDGE SHAW ENDORSED With the overwhelming endorsement of southern California lawyers, backed by the official vote of the Los Angeles county bar association, Judge Victor E. Shaw, candidate for re-election to the district court of appeal, will receive a tremendous vote at the primary election, according to his many friends. From every county leading lawyers are actively campaigning for Judge Shaw, declaring that because of his experience he is able to accomplish, on the bench, twice the work that the ordinary jurist can do in any given time. His friends point to the manner in which cases are handled in his court as a model for all appellate courts. As an appellate court official, Judge Shaw has served for the past sixteen years in reviewing trials, both civil and criminal, of superior judges. A district court of appeal judge must qualify to review, with his single talents, cases which superior judges try with the aid of juries, and it is Judge Shaw's proven talent in this work that his friends are emphasizing now. They point out that his experience through these years, his maturity of judgment developed thereby, are of in- Sam Jernigan The Republican Candidate FOR SHERIFF Of Orange County Twenty Years Experience as an Officer Primary Election, August 29, 1922 CREST OF THE SIERRA NEVADA The highest point in the United States, Mount Whitney, is not an isolated mountain peak like Mount Shasta or Mount Ranier, which are old volcanoes, but is a summit in the great tilted block of the earth's crust, forming California's saw-tooth range, the Sierra Nevada. One stormy day early in the seventies the first director of the geological survey, Clarence King, laboriously. The highest point in the United States, Mount Whitney, is not an isolated mountain peak like Mount Shasta or Mount Ranier, which are old volcanoes, but is a summit in the great tilted block of the earth's crust, forming California's saw-tooth range, the Sierra Nevada. One stormy day early in the seventies the first director of the geological survey, Clarence King, laboriously, amid cloud and fog, climbed to the top of Mount Whitney, as he supposed, only to find, long afterward, that he had really climbed a neighboring peak. By a second journey, however, made two years later on a clear day, he reached the summit of the true Mount Whitney. "The Sierra here," says Mr. King, "is a bold wall with an almost perpendicular front of about 3000 feet, which is crowned by sharp furrets having a tendency to lean out over the eastern gulf. These are properly the crests of great rib-like buttresses which jut from the general surface of the granite front. Mount Whitney itself springs up and out like the sharp prow of an ocean steamer. Southward along the summit is a region of confused rough-hewn granite obelisks and towers, all remarkable for the deep shattering to which the rock has been subjected. It is a region which may even yet suffer considerable perceptible change, since a single winter's frost and snow must dislodge numberless blocks from the crests and flanks of the whole group. Indeed, at the time of my visit, notably the period of least snow and frost, we often heard the sharp rattle of falling debris." The top of Mount Whitney stands 14,501 feet above sea level. Among mountains of slightly less height, none of them more than 6 miles distant from Mount Whitney, are Mount Russell, 14,190 feet; Mount Williamson, 14,384 feet; Mount Muir, 14,025 feet; Mount Langley, 14,042 feet; Mount Barnard, 14,003 feet; and Mount Tyndall, 14,025 feet.
