In time the sympathy of the world, now with the Abyssinian tribesmen, may swing to the underfed and fever stricken Italian troops, sent to their doom in a hostile region of fierce men and beasts, in climate and altitude utterly alien to their pleasant and char ming homeland, all for the glory of an egomanjac. At any rate we should distinguish between these dupes and the mad despot who leads them. The Literary Digest, which by means of its national polling system, in 1932 predicted the easy victory of the Democrats; now réports that the tide is turned against the New Deal and that 53.28 per cent of the pepole have had enough of the Roosevelt policies and acts. The Democrats who hailed the first poli with jubilation are now pooh-poohing the present tally. It was ever thus. The mystery pertaining to the baking soda deaths in San Francisco “is still unsolved, with the fourth death recorded from its use. The last death is attributed to poisoned soda, but aparently its source is not the Rosenthal store, as was the soda that killed the first three. Mass murder conceived and planned by a maniac seems the only reasonable explanation of these deaths, particularly if more than one lot of soda. proves to have been doped’ with arsenic. Twenty men io. go to work on the city park WPA. projects were promised last Monday, and as many or more were promised to initiate the city’s big street program. Herb Hallett in a moment of great generosity offered the Park board half of -his street crew when no one turned up for the work at the park, then regretfully withdrew the offer, explaining ‘that his e¢rew consisted of one working man, one time keeper and one foreman. On the court house job five or six men are at work ‘where ten or more have been promised. But last Wednesday two dozen husky men showed up. at the city hall, to meet the SERA paymaster -and receive their dole checks, which are handed out without any quid pro quo in the way of sweat of the brow. It is little incidents-of this kind which, so to speak, put the New Deal in Dutch with the people. On friday was inaugurated. the first trans-Pacific aerial mail. service. Between San Francisco and Manila lies 8,000 miles of salt water dotted with a few islands. The China Clipper soared away over that long waste of waters bearing 85,000 letters that weigh more than a ton. It it just another step in man’s subjugation of nature, his mastery of land, sea and air; another step toward the brotherhood of the human: race, We would like to believe. But not yet. Perhaps our grandchildren will see the day of good will toward men, and peace on earth. For the present ,this beautiful ‘creation of modern genius, this silved striped bird that, darts so swiftly on steady pinions over the gray ‘ expanse of water, can overnight be turned into an engine of destruction.

In addition to creating a rump. us he resisted an struck a _ duly] qualified police officer of Nevada City, and at least made an attempt to secure a loaded rifle during the} heat of ‘his quarrel. : It is probable that vigilance of the officer and other citizens is what prevented the commission of a still more rash act by the defendant. The suggestion urged during the trial that the defendant be excused because he was drunk is looked upon with extreme disfavor by this court. The special officer on duty at the place where the affray started was there at the request of the proprietor for the purose of preserving peace and such an officer on duty is vested with all the powers and must be resected as the representative of the people of the city just as much as any other peace officer. fixed the maximum fine for disturbing the peace at $200. The court be. lieves that the acts of the defendant in this case; if-they did not ex. tend beyond a charge ow disturbing the peace, they at least qualify as warranting the imposition of a subuse a! or. this defendant is very fortun-} The legislature of the state has! stantial fine: together with a jail sentence. The evidence disclosed that the defendant has a steady job, is living with his wife in a/ home,. which they are buying, near! Nevada City, and a jail sentence might mean the loss of his job and create an additional hardship for the defendant's wife. The defendant has been within . the observation of the city officers before this time and while the court . is going to give the defendant a chance to escape a term in jail it appears necessary to devise some sort of restraint for the defendant. The public and the officers are entitled to protection from such pugnacious invasions of their peace and safety as occurred in this case. After considering the evidence ana the circumstances of the. defendant the Court renders judgment as follows: Wherefore, it is by hte court ordered and adjudged that the said defendant, Elmer Hooper, is guilty of the crime of disturbing the. pence, and that for said offense; said ,defendant be imprisoned in the city jail of the City of Nevada, County of Nevada, for the term of ten days, . and and pay a fine in the sum of One: .
