One thing we're reminded of by those pioneer essays

J.OB ANQKLKS, May 28. (AP)
The I .os Anfteles Times says that
the cruiser Hunihursf, Germany's
first war craft to visit a Paclflo
ooiwt port sine July 1814, has ex
ceeded tlie bonds of hospitality and

Tho newspaper describes W. W.

nntly nrimtttinfr that federal opera
tives boarded tho vessel two days
aifo at Han Pedro nnd obtained evl.

Facts In the enso ha.vo been "for

'Our men had no trouble obtain-

difficulty was lo evado the mob I
that swarmed atiout tho ship's can- !
teen and to find an officer -who

TWO AUTO DEATHS THIS WEEK.
' The Old Oregon Trail west of Perry took its second vic
lime this week when a young mother of 27 was instantly
killed 'Wednesday night in an accident in which her car
blunged over un embankment. She leaves an infant child
in the hospital here, and a husband awaiting his wife's re
tlturn at Vancouver, Wash. Two deaths in4hrev.dftys will
not sound like a striking number to the city-bred persons;
warn claim hundreds of lives per day. But in peace times,
if we multiply two deaths each week by 125,000 towns in
the west, the number of deaths becomes formidable. "" J
The wheels in our heads are nut there to cuide the
Wheels on the ground, and the former were meant to be1!
above the latter, figuratively and literally. If one keeps;!
both sets of wheels functioning that wny one will always!!
ride at the proper elevation and so will the car. One thing I
sure, you can run your own or the other fellow's car in the!!
nivcn ana not nair try. it takes two automobiles to make,i
.n good Bmashup, but the real damage is done even when!;
only one goes over the grade. ' , '
LAPSED SOLDIER INSURANCE
People who like to ran down the reasons for things have
problem worth tackling in the fact that nearly 4,000,000
World war veterans have let their government insurance
policies lapse. These policies are valued at $33,500,000,000.
This soldier insurance was cheap and absolutely safe. The
government makes no profit on it.
The indifference to government insurance suroly is not
due to indifference to insurance itself. The total amount
of life insurance outstanding in tho United States at this
time is estimated at over $60,000,000,000. It is likely that
A good many of those 4,000,000 veterans who let their gov
ernment policies lapse have bought and are carrying in
surance sold them by private companies. Is it true that
in it competitive market, government insurance, no matter
how profitable and cheap, cannot overcome the .advantage
of the private companies with their highly trained selling
organizations? Or is it possible that the government did
not make its plan sufficiently clear and that if it had been
lietter understood it would have been better patronized?
While The Observer feels that this latter explanation
has much to do with it, there may be any number of rea
sons for tli is strange situation. However, the government
Insurance is as good as ever, and tho drive of the United
States Veterans' bureau to revive as many as possible of
those lapsed policies deserves widespread support. After
July 2, 1926, most of the policies will bo permanently voided
unless they are taken up again before then.
