Besides its special significance to all who work with hand, or brain for a 'v livelihood (and that includes most of us), Labor Day is at once an epilogue to summer and a prologue to autumn. Men march and bands play, picnicking crowds flock to the countryside, the children in many communities are all fitted out and thinking of a return to school on th morrow, and pervading all is a realization that summer is through and autumn is ginning -r- Above all, let us remember, ths year, to be careful on the crowded highways, where death claimed more persons on Labor Day. weekend than on any other in California Jast year. Let us remember, too, that overbold swimmers are often drowned, and that a match or cigarette carelessly 'tossed or a campfire left burning in the woods, may wreak destruction. There is one particularly good thing about this holiday.

It can never fall on a Saturday or Sunday. And that is right because, for all who punch a time clock whether actually at the factory door or only in their minds, it always means an extra day of rest or recreation. chargt Coronado mi onenine Saturday. Sept. 5, at En- cinitas.

He is beset by partisans of both dominant parties and also by his own fixed opinions on candidates and issues. Some of his best friends will attempt to slip in partisan articles, which they think should be published, especially if the writers happen to be on the same side of the political fence as the editor.

That the publisher of a non-partisan newspaper can have columns of space at his disposal each week in which he might lambast a party and its leaders and yet1 fails to do. so is past the understanding of many individuals. Yet some of these same individuals might be the first to take offense if their community paper printed much on any controversial subject that differed radically with their own opinions. JVe believe this one of the reasons why many people who think they know what the editor should put into his paper would be rank failures as editors. It is true that they might put their own opinions insistently forward week after week but they would probably before long lose their, effectiveness and their-sheet would lead a precarious existence if it survived at all.

The editor of a community newspaper who has the bestjnterests of his people at heart is the one who con- isiderff that" hischief functions is to so far as possible give the news of his locality fully and correctly; and at the same time strive for harmony among his people, in spite of their widely differing viewpoints on politics and religion. The editor who is big enough to conduct such a newspaper is big enough to battle against the dangers that might threaten the welfare of his community if need be. This is why the community newspapers should be considered the fairest and most important protectors of the public welfare in the country.

MONTE CARLO was for absolute freedom of speech and Hamilton, though he supported loyally the Constitution, was dia metrically opposed to many of the principals advocated by-Jeff erson. He, feared the common people and advocated centraliza tion and a strong federal govern ment.

His maxim was that the people cannot govern them selves, cannot be trusted and must be governed. He believed in a ruling class of the better educated and rich, and in fact though he served his adopted country with ability, he privately expressed opinions that indicate founts from which political antagonists of today and historians of the Colonial period draw then-examples, philosophies, and inspiration on political and economic matters. Well informed politicians many times, in their speeches, refer to Jefferson or Hamilton, for right today the great intellectual and political duel between these two great Americans of the past has not been settled. The problem they discussed has remained and has come to the front in great force in recent years. James Truslow Adams the great historian says: "Jefferson was at once the greatest Liberal America has produced and the most intensely of all the great figures of his And what did Jefferson and Hamilton stand for in their ideas as to form of lovernment economics? Their ideas at all points on these questions cannot be given in a article but the salient features of their point of view can be stated if thought of onlyr in terms of economics and state planning.

He He feared the growth of a vast body of government officials and unnecessary government expenses. He was for placing power in the hands of the people and feared the growth of a vast he prefered a powerful monarchy as a form of government than a republic. Ye Old Time Saloon Returneth One of the most remarkable political developments is that the Anyone who knows-what a mag nificent job the State Park Commission is doing in California, will not pass lightly over its enthusiastic "endorsement of the November ballot initiative on tideland oil drilling.

On that measure the commission is placing all its hopes for continuing a program that, will give California a system of state parks second to none in the world. While forever prohibiting drilling on the beaches, the measure' provides for taking oil from state-owned pools under the tidelands, by slant drilling, from far back on the shore. The state will take in handsome royalties on this oil. And half this money will go to the Park Commission's program of acquiring and 4 preserving for ourselves and future generations, those areas richest in' natural beauty, historic interest, or recreational opportunities. -1 Perhaps you remember how, back in 1928, the people overwhelmingly passed a six million dollar bond issue with which to begin this program of preservation.

That fund is now virtually exhausted. And, though California already has seventy fine state parks attracting countless thousands annually, the program has really only begun. The original survey in 1928 selected 125 areas urgently desirable mountain and desert spots, great stands, of giant redwoods, and lakes and beaches, extending from one' end of the state to the other. It is our guess that the commission will find plenty of support among those who know and love California's natural wonderlandthe streams purling- laughingly through wooded glades where the venerable redwoods reach toward the sky; the mountain fastnesses where placid lakes reflect the grandeur of snow-caped peaks; the rugged coastline with its clean white apron of sand stretching out to the pounding -Capistrano Dispatch Democratic party under Roose velt has departed from the policies of Jefferson, the founder of their party, and has turned towards the policies advocated by the Federalist Hamilton who as stated, believed in a very strong Federal government whereas Jefferson was a strong N0TKIM6 DOES SO MUCH FOR SO.

No one has more truly enunciated the principals of political democracy than Jefferson, "Without Hamilton says J. T. Adams the new nation might have disintegrated. Without Jefferson it would have lost its soul and that faith which made it different from others."
