General Harrison Gray Otis, for 53 years the editor of th Ixs An.celes -Times." tiled yenterdny morning. SO years of ar.i vhea THE SUN refers to him as the "Times" man. it do i.at by ay of su.csosting the niar-vilous way In which he Impressed his re-reonality oa the newspaper of which for almot-t a he as the controlling spirit.

Criticism is stilled and even rancor must be silenced in the presence of death. General Otis a'. ays a fishier, and if his pugnacious policy brought powerful enemies ar.J strenuous opposition, nobody ever heard him cry quits or call for quarter. But It was this which so Marked his control of the "Times." and every policy that he stood for transformed that journal into a battling tribune, and many are the vic-tries which he and it won for principles long since conceded to be lipht. General Otis may not have had the keen yet graceful editorial 'pen that market George D.

Prentiss or that Henry Watterson still wields. Ite was hardly the equal of, Harvey W. Scott, long time the editor of the "Orcgonian," in the matter of logic or argument, but when it came to championing with force and vigor the things which he believed in, or to Hacking the policies with which he disagreed, none of the passing generation of journalism has surpassed him, and particularly in the upbuilding and developing of the Southern California he loved so well, he has von a lasting place. In point of years, he was probably the dean of Pacific coast jour-i tlism, although there are numerous others who have served longer than did. M.

H. de Young of the San Francisco "Chroiiicle" has probably 20 years more to his credit than the 35 years during which General Otis directed the policies of the "Times." If one thing about him was more strongly marked than any other, It was his loyalty to the United He had served in two wars following the flag, and It has been a delight to. watch the policy of the 'Times" In recent weeks and months. Always a partisan, it was no Apologist for President Wilson until troubles began to thicken at Washington, and since April there has been no democratic journal In the ccun-tiy which has more consistently supported the war policies of the president than has the "Times." And the only explanation is that General Otis was first of all a patriot, and when that is said, nothing else need le. "Thirty" for liim, and the rest that SO yeare of active life has Merited.

NOT EVEN THE POSSIBILITY AN EVENIN'G journal, referring to the none-too-dry conditions in Riverside, says that city may he facing a wet and dry election, and that "there is the vague possibility that the city of oranges and mission liells might be voted wet." No, there is not the vaguest possibility of such a result Without doubt the owners of four liquorwith-meals permits will do all they can to prevent an election, for holding that permit permits some of them to sell' liquor at other times and without meals. But if the Riverside voters ever get a chance at the question, the neighboring city will go bone dry. It's just a question of jockeying the situation and preventing the election. Meanwhile, as THE SUN observed once before, when it started the cgitation with reference to conditions there, if San Bernardino ever has to face another wet and dry election, the most difficult thing for us to meet and overcome -Trill bethe 6tate ment and the fact that Riverside Is "flry-'as had" been "generally supposed. to pay tribute to the NEVER HAPPEN NO- NOT UW- JOY RIDING MUST GO THE oil shortage is not peculiar to this state where the stock in storage is steadily decreasing at tie rate of 35,000 barrels a day, with no jrospect of stopping the steady reduction, except by government opening litigated territory to drilling under some equitable arrangement.

That matter has been formally in the hands of thi president for some weeks with no sign of a decision. He has a right to be disgusted with those members of the cabinet whose obstinacy compels him to personally investigate so important a matter. But it appears that the whole country is in the samo situation. N. C.

Bedford, chairman of the petroleum committee of the national council of defense, is also president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. He ought to know the facts, and he sayB that the whole country is running behind consumption at the rate of 35,000,000 barrels a year. What the Wyoming fields may develop is not yet certain, but aside from tliat field and the litigated areas in this state, there is no known source cf increae. And meanwhile consumption of petroleum and its products is increasing. Not all crude oil is fit for refining, but the demands for gasoline, lubriiating oils and other products of distillation are increasing rapidly.

The war demand is prodigiouB. Motor cars are being substituted for horse-drawn trucks everywhere. The demand for tractors for farm use will wurtly exceed any apparent possibility of supply. Where the gasoline is to come from nobody can see. Chairmen Bedford suggests that of all the uses to which gasoline can be put joy riding is the least import ant and should be cut out.

He asserts that a a patriotic duty all persons should refrain from joy riding. San Francisco Chronicle. THE WirA Aloung UNGUARDED GATES IDE open and unguarded stand our gates, And through them presses a wild, motley throng Mec from the Volga and the Tartar steppes, Featureless figures of the Hoang-Ho, Malayan, Scythian, Teuton, Kelt and Slav, Flying the old world'3 poverty and scorn; These bringing with them unknown gods and rites, Those, tiger passions, here to stretch their claws. In street and alley what strange tongues are loud, Accents of menace alien to our air, Voices that once the tower of Babel knew! Liberty, white goddess! is it well To leave the gates unguarded? On thy breast Fold Sorrow's children, soothe hurts" of fate Lift the downtrodden, but with hand of. steel Stay those who to thy sacred portals come To waste the gifts of freedom.

Have a care Lest from thy brow the clustered stars be torn And trampled in the dust. For so of old The thronging Goth end Vandal trampled Rome And where the temples of the Caesars stood The lean wolf unmolested ade her lair. Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
