0Y manv Asses there uro
Senutor Koljiiisoii, of Jmliitiin, mid the other two, f cmirM-, arc
Senator Ileflin, of Alaliaimi.
AVe admit Hobiuson is not quite as had as Jlffliu, lint he may
caU'li up with the Dciiioera't if he is (riven sufficient time and
rope.
His attempts to Muear O'overnor Smith and the late Frank
lin K. Lane with Sinclair oil van lie listed ninoni; the most iissi
nine exhibitions of childish spite and futile malignity, staged
in the Upper House since llcl'lin's last Papal manifesto.
Hut like liis spiritual brother, Ileflin, Senator Robinson has
a thicker hide, and head, than a South African rhinoceros.
The dignified hut deviislatiiin replies of Senator Walsh seem
to have had no effect upon him. His inexcusable error cha.ru
in Walsh with Dohcny support, when he meant (ieore Creel,
brought forth no apology, nor did it halt him in his absurd and
senseless tirade.
The problem of dealing with public men like Ileflin and Ifob
insoii is a difficult one. They are utterly irresponsible and
entirely impervious cither to ridicule or reason. The only es
cape for the Senate, or for a long suffering people, appears to
he to let them talk, and wait patiently until they run down.
I'nless we are mistaken, Senator Robinson was never elected
by the people of Indiana, but was appointed by the (iovcruo of
that state, who is either in the penitentiary, or narrowly es
caped ioiK there.
Probably the people of Indiana can be depended upon to
return him to private life, as soon as opportunity offers. Cer
tainly all sensible Itepuhlicans hope so.
For more harm is done the Cirand Old Party by men like
Robinson than any number of fire-eaters in the opposing ranks.
Instead of discrediting the Democrats, by such ridiculous accu
sations and feeble innuendos, he places the Republican party in
the position of the client with such a hopeless case that he can du
..n i ... t . . ,
uoinuig out. uouse tnc opposing lawyers.
There is only one sensible course to pursue in this oil mess, as
far as the Republicans are concerned. That is to join with men
like Horali and Colonel Roosevelt, and unreservedly condemn it.
Also to join with President Coolidgo and do everything to bring
the guilty parties, regardless of politics, to justice.
Attempting to defend what is indefensible, or trying to
divert publie attention by milking preposterous charges against
the opposition, is not only poor morals, but poorer polities.
THE PREVENTION
U. COWLES, formerly of iletlford, now of Sanln Br-
bin-burn, California, who bus devoted a laree share of his
life to unselfish public service particularly in the way of fir.c
prevention, has devised a plan to lessen the loss of life, in dis
asters lilfe the recent dam-break near Santa Paula.
In a letter to President Coolidgo. on behalf of the Ameri
e:au Green Cross, in which he is nn active leader, Mr. Cowles
urges that all dams be equipped with an alarm system, so that
in event of breakage, the alarm will automatically be sent to the
inhabitants below for a distance of 15 or 20 miles.
This IooUh like a sensible suggestion. Loss of life from such
catastrophes usually occurs many miles from the scene of the
break, and the Santa Paula disaster demonstrated that, at such
a time, watchmen, telephone communication and fire alarms,
can't ha depended upon.
The most important thing is to have strict federal supervi.
sion of all dam construction, so that graft may be eliminated,
and sound construction assured, but this would not render a
collapse impossible,
The problem is one for experts to decide. Put Mr. Cowles'
suggestion looks to us like one worthy verycareful eonsidera
tiou.

Intoxication or drunken noon,
bOMrtiiK on the qucxtlon of rexnon-
Hlbillty, seems to be as vague and
distortlonal as Insanity ih tho ad
ministration of law. The courts and
lawyers are Inclined to pass the
buck to the doctors. The doctors
cannot devise a satisfactory test of
drunkenness, and so our great sys
torn of American Jurisprudence pro
vides another means of escape for
of renders who have the price to
purchase- tho necessary legal coun
sel. A friend with whom I ride some
times has a linl.lt of exclaiming,
whenever he sees careless or reck
less drlvlne. "'That fellow must be
drunk or crazy!" Maybe ho is one
or the other or both. In the pres
ent state of tho law It is difficult
or Impossible to prove It. In the
case of Intoxication nr drunken
ness tho law permits the most con
venient distinction between the con
dition of a man who' has- been
drinking and that of r man who
is drunk. It Is us absurd as the
wide latitude for legal quibbling
about the culprit's knowledge that
his act was wrong.
ln nil reason, when a man takes
a drink of any alcoholic beverage
ho gets some efect from the alco
hol. That's what ho drinks for.
If bo commits somo wrong not
while bo Is under tho effect of the
alcohol, without any question of
intoxication, he ought to bo held
strictly responsible. When a man
drinks he should uccept full re-.
spnnsiblll:y for his conduct.
It Is useless to search for a test
of drui konness. No mnn enn de

merges l ito "Intoxication." It is
necossarl y a matter of personal
opinion, in fairness and Justlco it
ought to be sufficient to prove that
a person has had alcoholic bever
age to drink. It is rank Injustice
to place "upon the Injured party
the onus of proving that the offend
er was "drunk." .Sometimes the

Brisbane's Today
(Continued from Pas One)
tlan religion once burned men alive
for saying the earth lg round and
goes around the sun. After men !
had sailed around the earth, re
ligion changed Its opinion. -.
It will change ln many respects.
It no longer emphasizes Bible texts
saying it is all right to have slaves,
and just how to bore holes In their
ears, as a sign of perpetual servi
tude. M
But changes do not diminish the
power of religion, which Is as nec
essary to men as air and water.
Every man not wilfully ignorant
knows the earth Is millions of
years old, that the animals were
here millions of years before man
appeared. Why insist on childish
falsehoods, to bolster religion,
which needs no such childish, obvi
ously falBe bolstering.
The Ilible does not tell us to Bhut
our eyes. 1 1 says: "Prove all
things, heed fast that which is
good." That means Investigate
everything. Also, you shall know
the truth, and the truth shall make
you free. Truth never hurt any
thing good, religion least of all.
Ernest Boyd, clever Irishman,
wrir and critic, says "the south
ern states - are not Yankee and
never will be. The south resem
bles the north no more than Eng
land resembles Spain."
Mr. Boyd would cut the United
States into three nations north,
south and west, because the men
cannot be genuinely patriotic over
a whole continent. '
i 1 ' '
Air. Boyd's idea Is not new. Vise
ancient Greeks said a nation could
not survive unless all tho. citizens
could gather in the public square
and hear their chief men talk.
Newspapers and radio have ad
justed that.
A man raisllng grapefruit in
Miami and a mnn driving dogs ln
Alaska don't find their country too
big. They are proud of their 48
states, working in free co-operation,
and would advise Europe to go and
do the same.
The young murderer, Hickman,
who kidnaped a girl 12 years old,
kllled her and sold her mutilated
body to her father for $1500,
shouted to the reporters as he
started for San Queatin, "Boys,
ihty hsve given ' me a one-way
ticket to the gallows.".
The vicious young killer actually
considers himself ill treated, and
complained that officers of the law
hunting him down "must be hard
up for money to want that reward."

THE LISTENER
A thousand gifted men can
talk, and sparkling stories tell,
and scatter language as they
walk, where one can listen well.
If I'd discuss the Loulder dam,
or other weighty deal, there's
no one emulates the plan, but
all men want to spiel. They've
studied days since they were
young, they know dams up and
down, and they would ply the
trenchant tongue and fill with
noise the town. If they would
listen for a spell to what I have
to say, some most Important
truths I'd tell in my seductive
way. There was a time, as 1
recall, when grayheards had the
floor; they did not have to hire
a hall when they'd dispense
some lore. Their snowy locks
gave them the right in converse
to prevail, and boorish seemed
the ribald weight who'd inter
rupt their tale. As children we
were rightly taught to listen and
be still when old men voiced
their gems of thought and sto
ries fit to kill. We learned to
listen in our youth, through life
the habit clung, and so we gar
nered sheaves of truth by wise
old graybeards sprung. We turn
out orators in droves, they're
swarmln-; everywhere, they
brace their feet against our
stoves, they're pinning through
the air. They ride the billows
of the sea, they haunt the pub
lic trough, they back up against
a tree and talk our sideboards
off. But there are listeners no
moro, to - culture's dark dis
grace; no listeners on sea or
shore, or any other place. We
used to think the wordy wight
was something of a dunce; but
now we think lie is all right, and
all men talk at once.
