HERALD EDITORIALS BOY, PAGE WEBSTER We all make mistakes but goodness forbid that we stumble and then draw ridiculous conclusions as did the "Little Fellow Up The Street" in Saturday's issue. Here's what he said: "He is light-complected and speaks good English." Why don't you sign up for lessons? PHILIPPINES AND DISARMAMENT Manuel Quezon, who heads the Filiipino party that clamors for immediate independence, seized the opportunity afforded by the conference, to present the cause anew. Doubtless he conceives himself to have chosen the psychological moment. The outcome of the conference must have a bearing on the future status of the islands. This is not a matter to be considered for the present. The attempt to drag it into conference now would confuse the issues that face the gathering. This country has given assurance that independence shall be granted the Philippines the instant the people are fit for the responsibilities such change would involve. Every effort is being made to render them fit. The project has been set back by politicians of the Quezon type, and by the stupidity that marked the regime of Harrison as governor-general. He devoted his time and effort to a process best described as "swelling the heads" of the natives. Says Quezon: "Philippine independence at this time would be the best evidence to the world that America does not want the domination of the Pacific." On the contrary, it would be positive evidence that America desires to surrender all rights in the Pacific. Every effort is being made to render them fit.

Says Quezon: "Philippine independence at this time would be the best evidence to the world that America does not want the domination of the Pacific." On the contrary, it would be positive evidence that America desires to surrender all rights in the Pacific, which is not the case. The object in view is the retention by all the peoples of their legitimate rights there. The thought in mind is not that the United States retire in favor of Japan or any other power, nor that Japan retire in favor of the United States. The Philippines, turned loose before the agreements to grow out of the conference have been perfected; and when there is no definite assurance of agreement, would have the same chance of freedom that Korea now has. ROY GARDNER, A TYPE Roy Gardner, mail robber, has been captured. Probably the clerk who made the capture would have been less cool had he known himself to be in the presence of so noted an outlaw. It is not likely that the situation greatly perturbs Gardner. His staying qualities as a prisoner seem to be inconsiderable. Gardner is a type of the natural criminal who has turned criminal from inclination and to whom reform is impossible. No man can be reformed save when his personal desire suggests such change. There are lacking in him, and his kind, those emotions that in operation receive the name of conscience. These are a part of the moral equipment. They are not within the experience of the individual devoid of morals. While Gardner was free, after his latest escape, he is believed to have written a letter stating his intention of reforming. He made his proclaimed purpose the basis of a plea for clemency. There was no surety as to the genuineness of the letter, and, admitting the author to have been Gardner, there still could have been no assurance that he was sincere. The fact that he went back to the trade of robbery so soon shows that he could not have meant a word of his promise to be good. This state has an habitual criminal law. By its terms the criminal who through his acts has placed himself in this class goes to prison for life. The law was meant to fit the cases of which Gardner is an example, the utterly irreclaimable. Influence is being brought to suppress the practice of making public show of weddings. This does not refer to the amount that may be expended with the caterer.

Influence is being brought to suppress the practice of making public show of weddings. This does not refer to the amount that may be expended with the caterer, the jeweler or the modiste. It has reference to the wedding in the dance hall, or aboard an airplane, or attended by other feature tending to make it into a vulgar show. About the most satisfactory lie is saying you had to serve on a jury when it was a baseball-game. Some have a hard time picking out a car to heaven because the lower berths all seem to be taken.

HILL COMPANY, DETROIT From a recent survey made by the state labor commissioner, it appears that 280,000 persons are employed in California manufacturing industries. In September there were 138,000 engaged in the building trades, an increase of 18,000 over September, 1920. The total unemployed in the state is estimated at 83,000, including 30,000 ordinarily unemployed. Travel teaches shrewdness, no doubt; but a man who can make money enough to travel is shrewd enough. NAHEIM DAILY HER ALS that we did the Here'slish." portunity to anew psychol-bearing matter drag it at face indence people are involve. one pro- type, Harrisonrt to a time does e that Between Ourselves By Delta M. Stewart In Atlanta, Ga., lives a judge who has a fine sense of consistency. In the habit of fining other members of his court for tardiness, he imposed a fine upon himself one morning recently when circumstances had made him late in attendance. It's pretty hard to judge ourselves by the same standards that we would impede on others. So hard is it that we're muddling along even now, trying in public life and economic circles to make the other follow do what we think is perfectly fair to us. We forget that the other fellow has a viewpoint, also. Maybe he's just waiting to see us begin to do the thing that is perfectly fair to him—who knows? It's just another case of that "vicious circle" that we have heard so much about. Everybody waiting for some one else. So few to stand out boldly and declare that perfect fairness shall be the slogan of life and relationships, so few to carry out such a life motto. Somehow it's so easy to think that we are favored individuals—a little removed from the common rabble, a little less amenable to common law and common justice. For us the rules of the game must be laid aside. For us, privilege instead of stern duty.

Otherwise the man seems reasonably human. Correspondents are having lots of fun entertaining the delusion that they ran the conference. When Roy Gardner mailed his protestations of reform it seems that he merely was spoofing. A New York man not only concedes the right of his wife to divorce, but offers to pay her $25,000 extra the day she marries again. Originality bobs up even in courts where precedent is supposed to rule. COMMUNITY PLAYERS OF SANTA ANA MAY BRING COMEDY HERE It is possible that Anaheim will have the pleasure of seeing the Santa Ana Community Players production of "Potash and Perlmutter," with the same cast as made such a wonderful success of the play in the Santa Ana production. "Potash and Perlmutter" is the first play given by the Community Players association this season and played to packed houses during its Santa Ana run. So great was the demand that many people have requested an extra performance of the play that they might be able to see it. If the board of governors of the player's association gives its consent, the play will be produced in Anaheim some time in the near future, and very likely in Fullerton as well, giving the citizens of these centers an opportunity of viewing the finished production of the association. The cast is exceptionally well selected and balanced, being made up of the best talent in the county. So well was the play received in Santa Ana and so well interpreted by the cast, that the Jewish people of that city gave the actors a real Jewish dinner in token of their appreciation. Ernest Crozier, Phillips, director of the association, is well known throughout the county for his brilliant work in producing plays. Flying a kite "to keep the wolf away from the door" is the occupation of a World War veteran who durings in the middle of the day an author is in the nite. All he's got to do is pass up two he sed an Mister Padden wich is his man with his rite Foley's Friendly Fancies A POPPY FROM FLANDERS A poppy from Flanders—it lay in my hand. A delicate thing... if so withered and dried; A poppy from Flanders—brought here from the land Once red with the blood of the brave men who died. A poppy from Flanders—its color grown pale, Its leaf crisped and sere, on its petal the rust And the mould of decay—just a blossom so frail That the touch of my finger might crumble to dust. A poppy from Flanders—so tiny a thing, And quivering there in the palm of my hand, Ethereal, light as a butterfly's wing, A thousand leagues far from its own field and land. So still there it lay, and so tiny and pale— Then quick it flamed hot with the color of blood. And there in my palm was a crimsoning trail And trickle, through poppies all trampled in mud. Then came the sharp clashing of steel upon steel, The rumble and roar of the unlimbered guns, That shrieked and that thundered, the creaking of wheel— See now how the crimson stream gathers and runs! And men sprang from firesides whose spirits leaped high, And shells tore the earth as the heavens were spanned With great arcs of fire till blood-red was the sky— And the poppy from Flanders that lay in my hand A poppy from Flanders that flamed and that burned Like the souls of its sons, come to hallow a trust, Then rain fell like tears on white faces upturned, In the night and the dark and the blood and the lust. And the pale petal quivered as though it were stirred By that same dauntless spirit that blood-drenched its land For honor's own sake, and the eyes of me blurred Till I scarce saw the poppy that lay in my hand. A poppy from Flanders that lay in my hand, That grew in some blood-bought and glorious spot, That told me the tale of its own field and land, When the petal of it flamed forth blood-red and hot. And a Voice souped forth o'er the guns and the lust, Of the fight, vast and deep as the primal Command: "Who fears but to die if he shall keep his trust?"— A poppy from Flanders lies here in my hand! Tablets in Ancient Grave Prove Ownership of Land Tablets in Ancient Grave Prove Ownership of Land Flying a kite "to keep the wolf away from the door" is the occupation of a World War veteran who during the war flew an airplane in France. The veteran was jobless and the only work the American Legion employment bureau at Minneapolis, Minn., could find of or him was flying a advertising kite for a film company. The Union Oil Company got some encouraging showings in the Frances well at 2665 and set a string of 12 1-2. Some people live to a ripe old age, and some have brakes that won't hold. As a means of adjusting a difference between Chinese litigants who appeared in the mixed court in Shanghai recently the courtdirected that a grave mound 200 years old should be opened. The dispute concerned the ownership of a small tract of ground. In the action Sung Chui-dong alleged that Yih Woo-zoong invaded the premises under controversy and erected a bamboo fence around certain graves thereon, asserting that the place was his ancestral burying ground. The plaintiff cliamed the property as his own by the ancestral grant. When the grave mounds were opened there were brought to light the tablets of a Chinese and his wife who had lived and died under reign of Emperor Kiang Hsi. When the tablets were brought to court it was found that the characters on them were of peculiar form and the writing read from left to right instead of from top to bottom, but the inkling was clear and the placques were well preserved. After the reading of the tablets the court announced the graves as those of the defendant's family and Sung's petition was dismissed. WITH THE JONESES Monday, November 21, 1921.
