A politician is one who thinks he can make a tariff bill better than anybody else. A statesman has his doubts about it. Some skeptical astronomers are inclined to regard Prof. William I. Pickering's theory about plant life on the moon as mere moonshine. Politicians are trying to work up interest in the 1922 congressional elections. But it is the present congress that is worrying the people, not the next congress. Chief Fitzmorris says half the police of Chicago are bootleggers or in league with liquor-law violators. "Half and half" is hardly the fit thing for a police department. That conference on limitation of armaments will need all the prayers and all the helpful co-operation the government and people of the United States can give. For there will be many pitfalls—many possibilities of failure—and not a few influences at work to make it fall. To start a number of big reclamation projects in the west to relieve the unemployment situation would be just the thing. Highway construction also should be initiated for the benefit of those out of work as well as for the public good. It is proposed to raise the membership of the National Guard to 450,000. This, with the regular establishment of 150,000 men, would give the U. S. 600,000 men trained and equipped to bear arms at once, not counting the great number of LESS FOR WAR, MORE FOR SCHOOLS IN MEXICO President Obregon's enunciation of his government's peaceful, uplifting purposes is of especial interest because, on this side of the Rio Grande, his words are treated with respect. Speaking before the foreign delegates to the Mexican cenennial, President Obregon directed attention to his government's policy of reducing its national army and decreasing military expenditures. In this, he says, it is Mexico's aim to "collaborate in the new organization of the world." Pledging his government "constantly to raise the moral and mental status" of the Mexican people, President Obregon asserted that this policy has been demonstrated unmistakably, altho modestly "by discharging regiments and battalions, by increasing her appropriations for public instruction and by preparing teachers and opening new schools." He goes on to say that "in this noble work the efforts of Mexico will not be confined to the limits of her own territory, but she will go forth efficiently to work in nearby countries which may be found in less favorable conditions and which may believe, as Mexico does, that the spiritual factors are those that give real strength to nations." This is lofty sentiment. Coming from a man of General Obregon's staunch character and sincerity, these words are highly significant. It would be an admirable irony in the history of this hemisphere if Mexico should right-about-face, and destroy the fruit. The comings of things ther food sured that dertake a It is proposed to raise the membership of the National Guard to 450,000. This, with the regular establishment of 150,000 men, would give the U.S. 600,000 men trained and equipped to bear arms at once, not counting the great number of former service men who have had training which would fit them to go to the first line, in an emergency. This military strength should be formidable enough to make any foreign power, which might have a grudge, pause before attacking the United States. LOS ANGELES POWER GRAB (Editorial in the Bakersfield Call forian, July 15, 1921) A city like an individual cannot afford to deliberately adopt a policy that makes for unpopularity. Indeed, the future of both are dependent upon good will. A city cannot prosper in the fullest measure if it earns the disesteem of the communities upon which it is dependent. An individual, in business, has taken the first step towards the bankruptcy courts when his fellow shun him and his institution. We here in the San Joaquin valley have already had occasion to protest against the designs of Los Angeles on the water and power that inherently belong to the valley counties. These protests have not caused the city in question to relinquish its claims, but it is believed they will, in the end, defeat the effort to deprive a great area of its natural resources for the benefit of a distant center. Protest on one hand comes over the announced plans of Los Angeles in connection with the Colorado river power enterprise. San Bernardino sees her industries threatened by the activity of her big neighbor, and the papers there issue solemn warning that it is the purpose of Los Angeles, when it acquires sufficient power, to entice manufacturing plants away from adjoining towns and ols.

General James A. Fries, chief of chem "The developments of war must be implements of peace." Brigadier-Warfare service devised for destroying men during the World War, may soon be available to ranchers of Orange county for use in their battle against squirrels and gophers, according to word reaching here from Washington. Dispatches stated that the Chemical Warfare service in the nation's capital was at work to produce polical warfare of the army, said in announcing at Washington the coming campaign. Successful chemical drives against rodents in Cuba recently predict equal success for extermination by the same means of the boll weevil and other agencies which are seriously damaging the crops of the country, it was stated. War against all manner of destructive pests will be undertaken by the war department. Of these pests the boll weevil is perhaps the most dangerous to agriculture, while the rodent is probably the greatest menace in the cities. At present the army is working on a request from Representative Phil D. Swing, of Imperial Valley, who hopes to use poison gas to exterminate the blackbird pest in that section. He was told that the Chemical Warfare service could make a poison that would kill some of the birds and drive off the others, but that the farmers would have to content themselves with using the crops for food and fodder alone, as the chemicals would destroy the reseeding value of the fruit. The congressman pointed out that as things stood the farmers get neither food nor seed. He was then assured that the government would undertake a new series of experiments that would stand up to any test. GERMAN MINISTERS UP IN THE AIR "We stand or fall by undivided Upper Silesia." With this solemn pledge, a dozen grave faced German statesmen, members of the government shook hands and then left the chancellory building early today after a conference that had lasted nearly all night. The conference dealt with the reported decision of the league of nations to reject Germany's claims in Upper Silesia. It was admitted by the ministers that "they could not tell whether they would still be members of the republic's cabinet 24 hours hence." DUTY TO COUNTRY FIRST, THEN GUESTS NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—And they said women wouldn't take politics seriously. The story has just crept out of a dinner party which will go down on the proud records of the Republican party in this city. Mrs. John T. Pratt, one of the particularly attractive women in New York politics, had issued invitations for a rather large dinner at her country home. A few days before it was to take place, she discovered that the date of the party was the same as that of the primary elections; and she must vote in New York City, while her summer place as five hours away from town. What did she do? What would any cordial hostess and conscientious voter do? She left word for her guests to go ahead with the dinner without her presence and she would be there later on. Then she came into the city, voted, and returned to the country, reaching home and her own party at 10 p.m. HOBO BLAMED FOR ROBBERY OF HOUSE Search was under way today burglar who entered the home of ALL DEPENDS ON ONE'E POINT OF VIEW It's according to how you look at it whether or not it pays to advertise. John Madigan believes it's too dangerous. Seven long years ago his wife left him flat, throwing an aluminum kettle back at him as she left. Two years later while he was motorman on the subway he had a glimpse of her. She had a large, strong man with her and when her rightful husband introduced himself the large, strong man, threw him on the floor. He got discouraged then and after a while decided he might find a gentler lady to share his life. He did. But, though gentle, she was firm. No bigamy trial was going to wreck her career, and she insisted that he couldn't take his wife's death in the meantime for granted, seven years or not. He must advertise. He did. And the kettle-throwing wife answered the ad: energetic and alive ever. towns and into the southern metropolis. Inyo, in protesting what it terms the rapacity of Los Angeles, urges villiance to protect its power sites. The contest between Los Angeles and the Southern Sierras Power Co. is looked upon as a menace to Riverside and San Bernardino. Watch This Space? THE J. T. LYON REALTY CO. 111 N.

BLAMED FOR BBERY OF HOUSE was under way today for who entered the home of Mrs. Ilia Kennedy, dreammaker, at 918 East Fourth-st., San Luis Ana, and stole clothing and dress goods to the value of several hundred dollars. The only clue which police had today was that the thief was evidently one of the "box car tourist" type.
