BRISBANE. Arthur Brisbane on his return from France recently described in his syndicated “Today” a French motor truck and called the attention of| American truck makers to it, showing them what they are missing. He said: American automobile men will be in- terested in a new French motor truck that picks up its own load, slings it under the chassis and rolls away, drop- ping it where wanted, by simply letting it down. The chassis and motor are seven feet above the ground, clearance of five feet under the frame- work, four legs carrying the wheels. The truck runs over the load, raised a few inches above ground, four right angled plates on ratchets reach under the load which is lifted by engine power. Mack Truck, White Truck, Republi- can Truck, General Motors and Ford about to market a heavy-duty truck, will be interested in this French idea, It will simplify and cheapen transportation of iron beams, lumber and white paper, saving the rolls from destructive bump- ing. This brought the Port Angeles feet to call Mr. Brisbane's attention to the cir- cumstance that the only difference between the French truck he deseribed and trucks that have been in use throughout the lumber districts of ‘Washington and Oregon for the last ten years or so is that those used in the Notrhwest are made in the United States. raised giving a News to NEW JERSEY SUSTAuxs GOVERNOR AGAINST LEGISLATURE. The “Hague Machine” seems still to be dom- inant in New Jersey. The voters recently turned down by emphatic majorities proposed Constitu- tional amendments submitted by the State Leg- islature and opposed by Gov. A. Harry Moore and Mayor Frank J. Hague of Jersey City, his sponsor and Deinocratic, State leader. One of the amendments proposed to elect the Governor each four years at the same time as the Presi- dential election. Gov. Moore and Mayor Hague requested the voters to reject the amendment hecause, they contended, State affairs and Na- tional affairs ought to be kept as far separated “as possible. The majority against the proposed amendment at the election September 20 was overwhelming. New York will vote in November on a similar amendment that was submitted over the objection of Gov. Alfred E. Smith. The latter has asked the voters of the State to reject the proposal for the same reason that Mayor Hague and Gov. Moore opposed the New Jersey proposal, SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED. Those Methodist Bishops and others who con- demn the scientist and the Menckens, Lewises, etc., ought to remember that the scientists, Menckens, ,ete., are not asking for laws and armed police- “men to compel people to think and behave as they would wish them to. The Menckens, etc, have no lobbies at Washington in sumptious offices from which to dictate to Congress. They are not out over the land bargdining with, threat- ening and corrupting legislaors, using money where necessary; they are not swapping blocs of votes for the votes of other blocs to control elections. They do not go before Congressional committees and swear falsely in order to gain some point. None of them have been sent to prison for vio- lating corrupt practices acts or trying to intimi- date courts, ' SUPPORT FOR SMITH IN' THE SOUTH. Hichard V. Owlahan of the 'New York Times /| has discovered a very strong movement in the South for the nominmation of Gov. Smith, and de- clares that it is possible that he will finally . sweep that section of the country. He says that one of the things that is operating to give him upport is the feeling that if Gov. Smith is de- feated for the momination it will be on account : biof his religion, and the further feeling that if _such is the result that Democrats by the umu sands will leave the party. It is admitted in the South that those who uld leave the party if they were convinced it it permitted religious affiliations to influence i 1o thg ‘selection of a nominee for President are ‘not b 7 means confined to Catholics.

South Africa expect Canada ve the of its present gold produc- one-half in fifteen years. s of $100,000,000 a year tu] Africa. Apa from the social and econ- consequences to an impoftant area around Johannesburg, which has been built on gold min- ing, the interesting feature of this forecast is the assurance it gives to a shift of world atten- tion to the gold fields of Canada. Canada will not get any more for its gold when the South African mines peter out, for gold is not a commodity bought and sold in a competi- tive market. It happens to be the standard of all monetary values. But there 13 competition between gold fields for capital and it would not be surprising if the capitalists who have built up the South African gold fields were to shift their attention to Canada Canada’s gold production has doubled in six years. It may well double again within the next six years and again in the six-year period following that. Thfs would bring us to an an- nual production of $150,000,000 of gold before 1940. Of course, this is speculation; but specu- lation founded upon an appreciation of our mining resources, our job is to have fatih in our resources and ability to sell them to the world’s capitalists. The state of mind that induces many Canad- jans to view Northern Ontario, Northedn Quebec and Northern Mantoba as a barren waste, as the great physiographic dividing line between Bastern and Western Canada, and to view this area as a permanent bar to Canadian unity, is not the state of mind in which we can ap- proach the problem of developing the mineral areas of Canada. This “barren waste” is an asset of tremend- ous potential value. We can build wealth and prosperity on the rock of the Laurentian sheild This will mean a lo omic Hic Jacet Jesse. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) A movement has been started to erect a monument to Jesse James, the colorful Missouri bandit, in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, at Kearnay, Missouri. Why not? Other great banditf rest under imposing shafts and mausoleums, includ- ing Caesar, Charlemagne, Napoleon and many lesser chevaliers of the hold-up industry. There should be no exception made in the case of our American Jesse, whose hard riding, straight shooting outlaw career for a generation thrilled young America, alarming and annoying a good part of Western adult America as well Jesse was no Claude Duvall, nor did he ap- pear to exemplify any of the popular admirable traits of Robin of Sherwood Forest, but he could handle a six-gun and understood the fine art of spreading terror among rightful possessors of this world's goods who happened to try to live and do business in the territory where wont to operate. A nice monument, perhaps, would serve to keep alive his memory for an appreciable time. Lying under an appropriate stone, he would “have it on” mnumerous other industrious spec- tacular thieves and piratical murderers such as Captain Kidd, the polished Lafitte, Sir John Morgan and an endless procession of absconding bank officials, service grafters. Perhaps, when the James monument finally is set up in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, interested Mis- sourian patriots may be able to influence the proper authorities to have Jesse’s portrait hung he was politicians, reformers and social at the State Capital, where Jesse himself might have hung in his own proper person if he had been caught during the period of his industrious activities. Perhaps, too, it might be possible to have the history of his life adopted into the public schools of the State he so notably distin- guished. No use denying to the memory of the man a full meed of appreciative recognition.
