HERALD EDITORIALS BATTLING THE BOOTLEGGER Ten citizens of an Oklahoma town are under arrest in connection with a tragedy which involved the slaying of a bootlegger and two members of the party that attacked him. He was in a nefarious business. It is not strange that there should have been a feeling of hostility to him. But lynch law is a nefarious business. No masked band making an assault upon an individual, good or bad, is entitled to a moiety of sympathy. Persons engaged properly in a proper cause have no occasion to wear masks. Their disguise is an indication that they are wrong in method, even with a laudable purpose the incentive of their conduct. The bootlegger is the foe of society. He is worse than merely breaking the law, for he is a swindler, often a thief, not infrequently a murderer. He is not even honest enough to be purveying the sort of liquor the purchaser supposes himself to be buying. Not a single word is to be said in his behalf. There is a vast contrivance of legal mechanism designed to cope with the violator of the prohibition law. It has not proved efficient so far. It has not proved efficient because it has not had the backing of the public. Prohibition will be enforced sooner or later. Sentiment in its favor is growing even among citizens who object to it as an infringement upon personal liberty. They are realizing the misery and crime promoted by the constant activity of the illicit dealers. They see that it is not possible to treat one law with contempt without bringing all law into contempt. The law no more favors mob rule than bootlegger rule.

The people of California will be glad to know that members fo the unspeakable gangsters of San Francisco, now in San Quentin, are to remain there for the full fifty years of their terms. It is very difficult for a convict to be so debased as to be shut off from the chance of parole. General Pershing explains that the famous lost battalion was not lost. So also the ship's cook explained to the captain in relation to the silver teapot, which was not lost, because he knew it was at the bottom of the sea. The man arrested at Venice who gave his name as Volstead, is believed not only to have been full of whisky of sorts, but also to possess a jocular soul. Senator Watson thinks the army is on trial, and is quite unaware that it is himself who stands before the bar. The verdict just now would be premature as the inquisition is still in progress. However, a wager that Watson is guilty would be much the same as a bet on a sure thing. Has America sold her navy to Japan? So asks an anxious correspondent for the yellow press. There is no object in answering a fool according to his folly in this instance. The scriptures permit either course, but the proper one is plain. A flying machine carries a singer 2000 feet above the earth. At that height she sings, and her tones are carried not only to people near enough to see the spectacle, but clear across the continent. And yet occasionally somebody remarks that the age of miracles is past. Stinnes, who seems to have most of the money in Germany, and to be reaching for that of all Europe, is dissatisfied with the management of the government. Perhaps were he to undertake the payment of reparation himself, he would get discouraged, too, or even rattled a bit. The idea of the new treaty is not that the powers signature shall fight for each other, but that they shall so conduct themselves as to abolish occasion for fighting with any nation. No man is always right, and some men are never right. many, and to be reaching for that of all Europe, is dissatisfied with the management of the government.

Even when a woman does trust her husband she doesn’t let him know it. It isn’t difficult to form a fairly good idea of what people think of you by what they say of others. ANAHEIM AWNING CO.

Los Angeles St. Anaheim BUY IT IN ANAHEIM NAHEIM DAILY HER LS Between Ourselves By Della M. Stewart Some pessimists declare that it's impossible to have peace. The world isn't ready for it, they say. Maybe it isn't. But we are part of the world. We can help make it ready. How? Not by deploring that there has been war. Not by shuddering at coming possibilities of more war. Not by writing and talking about its horrors. Not even by praying for peace—if we're not willing to back up our supplications by efforts in everyday life. Vague petitions are about useless things as can be imagined—and some of us get no farther than vagueness. We can help to bring peace by striving for a better understanding. Not, in the case of you and I, the common people, better understanding between nations, but between each other; the man in the next office, the woman in the next flat. It's a very practical thing, this peace that so many of us think we want. It goes back of national feeling, to the peace outlook, the peace habit of life. If we cannot compass peace with our neighbor whom we know, how can we expect to bring it about between those afar? We'll never bring about peace while we pin medals on our war heroes and ignore the accomplishments of those who serve their country in common ways. We'll never bring about peace when we back bite and envy and scorn associates, who are not exactly to our liking. We'll never bring about peace while we make no effort to understand the aims and viewpoints of those who think differently than do we. Peace is a habit of the mind—first of all. We must have it as individuals before we can expect it as a nation. George OUR BOY REPORTER Good nite, Pretty near my news was diched today agen count of so menny ads.

BURGESS (Copyright by J. G. Lloyd) OLD GRANNY FOX IS CAUGHT NAPPING Little Stories, for Bedtime By THORNTON W. BURGESS (Copyright by J. G. Lloyd) Have a Smile A young reporter was sent out recently by the city editor of one of the Rochester papers to report a meeting. About two hours after the assignment was made the young reporter returned with a sad countenance. The city editor asked him to get the report up immediately, as it was nearly time to go press. "There will not be any report on that meeting," was the answer. "Why not?" queried the city editor. "There was not any meeting," replied the young reporter. "It broke up in a big row and the chairman was chucked under the table." A famous general was the guest of honor at a club dinner, and a cub reporter, bubbling over with enthusiasm, referred to this battle-scarred hero. Imagine the general's wrath when the local paper appeared and he found himself alluded to as "this - battle-scarred hero." Anxious to put things right, the editor wrote a correction for his next issue, and this is how it appeared: "What we intended to say was 'this bottle-scarred hero.'" A Victorian grandmother was reproving her up-to-date granddaughter, "Betty, I am deeply troubled to hear from your mother that you state things which you know are false and that you have been heard to use strong language. Worst of all, you spit at your governess." "M'yes," said Betty. "Do you know that it is the evil one who makes you do these things?" "Possibly," said Betty, "he is responsible for the lies and the cusses, but the spitting is my own invention." George M. Cohen said at a Coney Island luncheon, apropos a million-pound metal medals on our war heroes and ignore the accomplishments of those who serve their country in common ways. We'll never bring about peace when we back-bite and envy and scorn associates, who are not exactly to our liking. We'll never bring about peace while we make no effort to understand the aims and viewpoints of those who think differently than do we. Peace is a habit of the mind—first of all. We must have it as individuals before we can expect it as a nation. OLD GRANNY FOX IS CAUGHT NAPPING THERE is a saying among the little people of the Green Meadows and it is something like this: You must your eyes wide open keep To catch Old Granny Fox asleep. Of course, this means that Granny Fox is so smart and clever and so always on the watch that you must be very smart indeed to fool her or get ahead of her. Reddy Fox is smart, but not so smart as Granny Fox. You see, he hasn't lived as long, and so there is much that Granny Fox has learned but which Reddy Fox knows little about as yet. But even the smartest people are caught napping sometimes. Yes, sir, they will be careless sometimes. It was that way with Granny Fox. She had become so accustomed to thinking that she was smarter than any one else, unless it was Old Man Coyote, that she actually made herself believe that no one was smart enough to ever surprise her. Now you know when people get to thinking that they are the very smartest in all the world they are quite like Peter Rabbit when he made ready to jump out on the smooth ice of Paddy the Beaver's point instead of stepping on it very carefully; they are getting ready for a fall. That was just the way with Old Granny Fox. You see, Granny had lived near Farmer Brown's so long and had been hunted so much by Farmer Brown's boy and Bowser the Hound, that she had got the idea into her head that no matter what she did they would not be able to catch her, and so at last she grew careless. Now, on the edge of the Green Forest was a warm, sunny knoll, which, you know, is a sort of a little hill. It overlooked the Green Meadows and was quite the most pleasant and comfortable place for a nap ever was. Old Granny Fox took gun-naps there very often. It was her favorite resting place. When Bowser the Hound had found her tracks and had chased her until she was tired of running, she would play a sharp trick to make Bowser lose her tracks, and then she would hurry straight to this sunny knoll to rest and grin to herself at her own smart pess. Now it happens that she did this one day in winter when there was fresh snow on the ground, and on course, everywhere she put a foot down she left a print in the snow And when she grinned, and curled up in the sun she left the print of her body. They were very plain to see were those prints, and Farmer Brown's boy saw them. He just happened to be passing through that part off the Green Forest late that afternoon and saw Granny's footprints Just for fiftieth he followed them, and so came to the sunny knoll Granny had left some time before but right away Farmer Brown's boy saw the print of her body where she had taken her nap, and he knew what it meant Granny would have felt uncomfortable able if she could have seen that grin "So," said he, "this is where you rest, old Mrs. Fox, after running Bowser almost off his feet! I think we'll give you a surprise one of these days." The next day Farmer Brown's boy sent Bowser the Hound to hunt for Old Granny Fox, and it was not long before Bowser's great deep voice told all the world that he had found her tracks, Farmer Brown's boy grinned just as he had the day before. Then he took his terrible gun and hid under some pine boughs right near the sunny knoll. He waited patiently a long, long time. Then out of the Green Forest came Granny Fox, and she was grinning; once more she had fooled Bowser the Hound, and now she could take a nap in peace. Still grinning she turned around two or three times to make herself comfortable, and then curled up to enjoy a nap. And just a little way off behind the pine boughs sat Farmer Brown's boy grinning as he patted his terrible gun. At last he had caught Granny Fox napping. Next Story: Old Granny Fox Has a Bad Dream.

Worst of all, you spit at your governess." "M'yes," said Betty. "Do you know that it is the evil one who makes you do these things?" "Possibly," said Betty, "he is responsible for the lies and the cusses, but the spitting is my own invention." George M. Cohen said at a Coney Island luncheon, apropos a millionaire who had ignominiously divorced her chauffeur husband: "From the start—even from before the start—the poor man who marries a rich woman has a hard time of it. A young fellow called at a matrimonial agency one day and said: 'Will you please let me see the photo of Miss A—the lady with the $75,000 fortune, you know?' The manager of the agency shook his head and frowned. 'We don't show photos,' he said, 'with the larger fortunes'" Snap Shots By Henry James The only way a lawyer can get into the court of little claims is to have a little claim of his own. Really, the publicity a movie star wins by her domestic rows does not get her anywhere. Rains have caused much damage in this region, but the same rain has caused inestimable good. There will be no trial for a woman recently arrested for burglary. She had no difficulty in proving that she had money and respectable connections.
