Hoover Prophet of Good
l It is Mr. Hoover who is credited with say
ing that within a few months' time prices will
drop 35 per cent Hurrah for Hoover 1 will be
; the cry of the optimist But he is an easy
fellow to convince. The pessimist will ask to
be shown. Mr. Hoover may have some figures
and facts up his sleeve. He may also have some
inside information as to the federal measures.
But whatever the source of his confidence he
is to be praised for throwing one ray of light
upon the black screen of high cost despair.
Thirty-five per cent decrease in costl Can
anyone imagine it? That would mean to give
every dollar of the country one-third more pur
chasing value. The dollars that count about 50
cents' would then be worth a third more. This
would give hope of the return of the day when
a dollar might look the owner in the face with
a sense of self-respect instead of the abashness
that everyone has noted in the currency for a
long time past.
The scoffer will say: ."Is Mr. Hoover also
among the prophets? The cynic will say:
"Yes, also among the presidential expectants."
But then, there is always someone with a
' bucket of ice water with which to douse anyone
who has a real warm feeling of cordiality to
ward any prophet of good. But, as a matter of
fact some practical joker is probably using the
name of Mr. Hopver to perpetrate a grim jest
.Baltimore American, -
THANKSGIVING.
It -matters not which of several versions of
the tradition as to the origin of Thanksgiving
Day may be accepted as nearest accurate;' the
feast is one of peculiar importance. Coming to
us as a heritage from the Puritans, it has lost
little of its earlier and higher significance. A
few may view the feasting and merry-making
of the occasion as incompatible with the deep
gratitude and profound veneration to and for
the Almighty that should properly attend the
giving of thanks. These mistake the true spirit
of the day. In no way can mortal man better
pay homage to his Maker, or more effectively
exhibit appreciation of blessings bestowed than
by partaking of those blessings to the reason
able extent permitted by temperate indulgence.
Americans have a great many things to be
especially thankful for on this occasion. War
with its dread presence no longer hangs over
the land, and we have been spared the pestil
ence; abundant harvests followed the seed time,
and earth has again produced its bounty for
man's sustenance and enjoyment; no disaster
of moment has disturbed domestic tranquility,
and the life of the nation is assured by the re
awakened patriotism of the people. Those
things that vex us are transitory in their na
ture, and not enduring ills , we may not cure,
The future beckons with greater reward for
higher effort, and no people ever faced a
brighter prospect.
A nation on its knees is one to be respected
God-fearing men founded our government and
have preserved it, and, under His providence,
it will endure because its people have not turned
away from the faith or the worship of Him. All
races of the earth here mingle with full and
unrestricted liberty to adore the One True God
in whatever form or by whatever name they
know Him, and for this if for no other reason
He should be thanked today.
Government and the Coal Situation.
Whatever settlement of the miners' wage dis
pute may ; be reached by the president's cabi
net, tin question of its enforcement looms
above all others. Neither the miners nor the
operators have agreed in advance to accept
the proposed ultimatum.
The government came into the case under
the assumption that the extraordinary powers
granted the president to carry on the war still
are vested in him. When the injunction was
issued by Judge Anderson, Acting President of
the Miners Lewis announced proposed ac
quiescence, saying dramatically: "We are
American citizens, and cannot fight our govern
ment" Nowhere has any inclination been
shown by the miners to put this sentiment into
practice, and the strike is just as effective as
though no order had come from the court.
Will the miners or the operators accept with
out demur the award from the cabinet, which
will unquestionably carry the president's ap
proval? If it is npt accepted, what steps will
the government take to relieve the fuel situ
ation, which has become acute? Terms of the
settlement are important, but do not mean so
much to the public at this time as the attitude
of the government.
The sentiment of a considerable part of the
miners is voiced by Frank Farrington, presi
dent of the Illinois district, who said: "I am
tired of waiting Dr. Garfield's pleasure, and
running down here every fifteen minutes.", Mr.
Farrington might with profit reflect that the
public is also getting somewhat weary of his
antics.
Los Angeles and the Air Lanes.
One unfailing asset on which the people of
Los Angeles should pride themselves is their
representative in congress. Mr. Randall may
get his wires crossed on matters of internal
policy, may muff certain of the great world
questions, and may even deserve some criticism
for his course in general, but when it gets down
to matters that affect Baja California, he is
there like a duck.
Two years ago he started to' uproot the
army balloon school and transfer it from
Omaha to his home town, and he succeeded in
getting considerable support from army offi
cers. A training schoql was eventually estab
lished at Arcadia, nearby the congressman's
starting point, and that experiment was the
best thing that could have happened for Omaha.
Experience there soon justified the wisdom of
maintaining the school where it was first estab
lished and where it has flourished.
Similarly. Congressman Randall is now
eager to divert the air mail route, so that Kan
sas City and Los Angeles will be the principal
termini, instead of Omaha and San Francisco.
He has missed again, but deserves credit for
trying. It is not Omaha's fault that it offers
superior .facilities to Kansas City, or that Los
Angeles lies so far south of Tehachipi. In good
time a branch service will fly from San Fran
cisco over the mountains to deliver mail to the
City of the Angels, just as Kansas City will get
its relayed from Omaha. '
Yet we may commend the persistency of the
Southern Californian in congress, who tries to
get everything in sight for the home folks,
while we congratulate Omaha on having a rep
resentative who is on the job and can head off
such raids as that engineered by the ambitious
Randall.
Felipe Angeles, Mexican Patriot.
Standing with his back to a wall, Felipe An
geles faced a firing squad, the greatest military
leader and expert ever produced in Mexico,
dying as a traitor to his country. This is be
cause he espoused the cause of rebellion against
the Carranza regime. He grew to manhood
under the days of Porfirio Diaz, was educated
at the national school at Chapultepec, and gave
his life to military science. No other Mexican
has equalled his accomplishments in his chosen
field. When the Madero revolt made head
way, Angeles fought on the side of the govern
ment Diaz abdicated, and with him went the
brilliant soldier, only to return as a rebel. It
is not conceivable that he was a sharer in the
banditry of Villa, although recognized as a
lieutenant of that leader. More worthy impulse
moved him, and while he was constrained to
work with what tools came to his hand, he still
looked forward to the liberation of his country
from the hands into which H has fallen, and
the re-establishment of a legitimate and stable
government to control its development Fate
has decreed otherwise, and AngeleS will be
listed in Mexico officially gs a rebel and a
traitor, but history deals more exactly with
such things, and the outside world will very
likely accord him the honor he deserves, that
of a patriot leading a forlorn hope for his
country's good.
The Latest Jenkins Chapter
From the Minneapolis Tribune.
Once more the American State department
has hurled a challenge at the Mexican govern
ment this time in relation to the- treatment ac
corded to William O. Jenkins, consular agent
at Puebla, who was kidnaped by bandits and
held" under severe hardship for a week as hos
tage for the payment of a ransom of $150,000.
After paying part of the money and being re
leased, Jenkins was arrested on a charge of
collusion with the kidnapers, was liberated
later and then rearrested and detained in prison
in Puebla on a charge that he had sought to in
timidate witnesses upon the strength of whose
testimony the first arrest was made.
Manifestly a deliberate attempt is being
made by the Mexican authorities to discredit
Jenkins as a conspirator with rebels in an at
tempt to stigmatize and belittle the Carranza
government. The consular agent denies, with
unction that he was a partner in any such en
terprise and declares that he was mistreated
not only by the kidnaping bandits, but by the
authorities whose business it was to protect
him. He tells a story that apparently is taken
at its full face value by the State department.
At any rate, a note has been dispatched to the
Mexican foreign office demanding the immedi
ate release of Jenkins, declaring a belief that
the present arrest and detention are "absolutely
arbitrary and unwarranted" and giving warn
ing that, "further molestation of the consular
agent will affect seriously the relations between
the United States and Mexico for which the
government of Mexico must assume sole re
sponsibility." '
This warning is much like the one dis
patched to Mexico City last July, following the
murder of Peter Catron, an American citizen,
in San Luis Potosi, and about a month before
two American army aviators were seized and
held for ransom by bapdits. Even with the
demand for Jenkins immediate release adhered
to, it might be said that in this country's gen
eral relations with Mexico, so far as this latest
note signifies, we are now just where we were
then. It is interesting to conjecture what
would have happened if Theodore Roosevelt
had been president when Catron was slain or
when the aviators were seized and held. We
have a notion that under that circumstance
there wouldn't have been any Jenkins affair to
squabble over now. A few firm words from the
snapping jaws of the straight-thinking, hard
hitting Roosevelt would have had all the virtue
needed to meet the occasion.
A dispatch from Laredo, Tex., says . Fred
erico Cordovo, a Mexican bandit, tenders
"startling disclosures" regarding the Jenkins
kidnaping, a condition being amnesty for the
redoubtable Cordova. Appraisal of what he has
to say will depend on the kind of proof or cor
roboration he offers. The unsupported word
of a bandit, who lives by violence and other
lawless means, is not conspicuous for dependa
bility. We would not put it beyond Cordova
to say anything for a price; but if he prove his
case to the satisfaction of unbiased American
judgment, the sentiment of this country will
sustain appropriate action, whatever the nature
of the case. Let's wait and see what he says
and how he says it
fhe New Industrial Conference
President Wilson's appointment of a new
set of conferees to take up the work of the
first industrial conference is commendable in
purpose and much more promising than the
first abortive effort to deal with the most press
ing of domestic problems. The reduced size,
as well as the nature of the appointments, is an.
applied lesson from experience. If the new
conference will follow the same course in ap
plying the lessons of the first conference'in its
organization and procedure the pitfalls that
wrecked the former assembly may be avoided.
It is hardly necessary to go into the details
of the first conference's mistakes. They were
elementary and fundamental. The conference
attempted to make peace when there had been
no victory or even an armisitce. As a result
the industrial battle was continued on the floor
of the conference and was in no way affected
by the debate. The conference met without a
plan and failed to evolve workable rules for its
own deliberations. It lacked first hand data
beyond thatjurriished by the chief disputants,
and the public representatives were as far apart
as workers and employers and lacked the strong
support possessed by both of these cohesive
groups.
The new conference should set to work de
liberately and lay solid foundations for its
work. The distinguished appointees are all
public representatives and men of ability and
standing. When they have surveyed the field
and evolved a plan it should be placed before
the leaders of labor and representatives of em
ployers, who should then be called upon to sub-

Prohibition and Thrift
An increase in savings bank deoosits in the
four months of July, August, September and
October in Minneapolis, seven times as large
as the increase during the same period in 1918.
is attributed by bankers to the greater thrift
attendant upon prohibition of the traffic in in
toxicating liquors. The increase is $3,027,485.
This showing was made despite the heavy ag-
regaie investments maae in annxaDies just
efore the federal and state prohibition acts
became effective on July 1.
If there had been no other benefit to this
community than this saving of money, pro
hibition would have justified itself as a wise
and sound public policy. There have been, of
course, many other good effects of four months
of "dryness." . One of these effects is shown in
records and conditions at the Minneapolis
workhouse. This institution has been a depend-
auie Daromcier tor years Ol me miscniei tnat
flowed from the wide-open saloon. It is far
from being now what it was.
It cannot be said that there has been any
stinting of themselves by those who patronize
the savings institutions. Money has been spent
liberally for necessities and luxuries in the last
four months, and yet bank accounts have grown
steadily. It surely would not serve any good
purpose in this community to have a period of
wetness before the national prohibition amend
ment becomes effective on January 16 next.

Vacating Judgment
H. N. Rome month- ago I was
sued and I employed a Arm of at
torneys to defend my case.- It hap
pened that one of the attorneys died
.and the other took sick and a de
fault was entered against me, about
two weeks ago. The court is still in
session. What would you advise me
doing?
Answer Employ an attorney and
he will have no trouble In having
the default and judgment set aside,
as no doubt the term of court has
not expired.
Negligence. .,
M. C. O. My husband was .killed
by a railroad and there were no
witnesses to the accident, but there
were certain circumstances that
would indicate that the railroad
cqmpany was responsible for his
death. Is it necessary that there
should be eye-witnesses to the acci
dent in order for me to recover?
Answer When there is no evi
dence as to the negligence on the
part of the person injured or killed,
the presumption of due care that
arises 'from the instinct' of self
preservation generally obtains, but
it is necessary for you to prove that
the railroad company was negligent
and that its negligence was the prox
imate cause of the death of your
husband.

Will.
S. h. T. My aunt recently died,
leaving all of her property to my

show that at the time she made the
will she did not know what she was

the suggestion of my nephew and
that my aunt never eaw it until it
was offered for her to sign, and that
she did not understand what she
wai signing when she did so. Have
I any remedy, and if so, what is it?
Answer You can set the will
aside because of improper or undue
influence exerted upon your aunt
and further that she did not have

All foot ball players should spend
at least one hour a day throughout
the winter months in the open air.
Skating develops open field run
ners. Hobey Baker of Princton, a
great doger in foot ball, was a won
derful ice hockey player. Steffens
of Chicago developed his cleverness
dodging among the crowded skaters
in Chicago s parks. The best m
door work to develop foot ball play
ers is to play basket ball. All good
ends can handle themselves cleverly
on the basket ball court, as the for
ward passing game calls for basket
ball tactics and cleverness.
In the spring get out in the coun
try on a hike. Stocky legs with a
drive are needed on the gridiron.
This also develops a "will to go."
During the summer months swim
ming, although softening, is a good
developer, as the muscles are
stretched and the chest expanded
and the arms and legs are worked in
co-ordination. The running dive into
the water in a fearless manner de
velops tackling cleverness and nerve.
Boxing, wrestling and rowing de
velop strength in the back, shoul
ders and arms. This is essential for
linemen, as big, slow men will, in
this way, acquire aggressiveness
with determination. In spring foot
ball practice work should only be
done on fundamentals, as the au
tumn season of two and a halt
months is plenty long enough to de
velop the fine points of the game.
Work up the special features, as
Duntinp; and drop-kicking, torwara
passing, dodging, blocking, etc., in
the off season.
