DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Absurd! to think to overreach the grave, And from the wreck of names to rescue ours: The best concerted schemes men lay for fame, Die fast away; only themselves die faster. Blair. RECIPROCITY IN TARIFF SCHEDULES. There is strong sentiment in congress, reports from Washington indicate, in favor of putting the principle of reciprocity to work in evolving a tariff measure for protection of American industries and incidentally for producing revenue. As proposals have come forward for placing high duties upon certain imports, there have been rumblings of dissatisfaction from the countries whose products would be affected, and iminations that reprisals might be made by imposing high duties on goods shipped from America to the countries thus aggrieved. The doctrine of reciprocity in tariff measures has been sponsored by some of the most eminent leaders of the Republican party. James G. Blaine was a strong advocate of the reciprocal principle in framing tariff bills. William McKinley also advocated reciprocity. In his memorable speech at Buffalo—his last public address before he was struck down by the bullett of the assassin—Mr. McKinley urged reciprocity and dwelt upon the importance of the U.S.-cultivating friendly commercial relations with other nations through reciprocal measures of this kind. A SMILE distills pleasure, A grouch distils pain and poison. NO ONE gets real happiness out of making others unhappy. PERHAPS, after all, Cuba's troubles may turn out to be as a tempest in a teapot. THERE IS renewal of briskness, in some measure, in the industry that made Detroit famous. THE TIME is at hand for the taxpayers of California to learn who are their real friends at Sacramento. CHEER UP; everybody will know, on the fifth of March, who are to be members of Mr. Harding's cabinet. THEY ARE not building monuments to men who stood around abusing Abraham Lincoln a few hours daily. BETTER TO take a few seconds in slowing up at the grade crossing than to take a quick plunge into eternity.

LOS ANGELES THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA The Village Gossip Kenneth ("Casey") Cline of Placentia was one of the interested spectators and California roofters at the big football game at Pasadena. He felt so good over the outcome that he sent a postcard to Senator Harding acknowledging Ohio's supremacy as a producer of Presidents, but crowing a little over California's superiority in football. Last week Kenneth received a letter from Mr. Harding's secretary which he prizes quite highly. It reads as follows: My dear Mr. Cline: This is to acknowledge receipt of your postal card to Senator Harding under date of Jan. 3rd. He desires me to say to you that he rejoices not that one state excels in everything, but that every state has something in which it excels. With best wishes, Yours very truly. GEO. B. CHRISTIAN, Jr. Secretary Cheer up, boys. There is more joy in expectancy than in actuality. The fair Bebe Daniels will be back to Santa Ana on St. Patrick's Day, or to be precise, at 10 a.m. March 17, to show an interested world how easy it is to "vamp" a jury of "12 good men and true." The boys, ranging in age from four to 84, almost piled over each other at the county court house grounds Wednesday afternoon when the hour drew near for the much-talked-of film star to make her appearance before Judge Cox to stand trial on the charge of making 59 miles an hour "in order to get her car to the garage before it broke down." She was arrested by Vernon Meyers, county traffic officer, and her conviction meant at least 10 days behind the prison bars unless she could "vamp" the judge. A buzz diffusing excitement went thru the crowd as the words passed from lip to lip, "She's here." But alas! The fair Bebe deigned not to step from her car and deligned not even stop but drove round and round the courtyard grounds while William I. Gilbert, of Los Angeles, her attorney worked hard. charge of making 59 miles an hour "in order to get her car to the garage before it broke down." She was arrested by Vernon Meyers, county traffic officer, and her conviction meant at least 10 days behind the prison bars unless she could "vamp" the judge. A buzz diffusing excitement went thru the crowd as the words passed from lip to lip, "She's here." But alas! The fair Bebe deligned not to step from her car and deligned not even stop but drove round and round the courtyard grounds while William I. Gilbert, of Los Angeles, her attorney, pushed his way thru the seething mob and into the courtroom where he asked a change of venue. This was promptly denied. Then he entered a plea of "not guilty" and demanded a jury trial for his client. This was granted, and the trial date set for March 17. Mr. Gilbert then pushed his way out of the crowd, leaped into his car and the movie star disappeared. The "boys" knew that something had gone wrong and rumors spread like wildfire that the judge had actually been "vamped." Among the cries came one from a less favored whose stature was too short for its owner to get an eyeful: "What did she look like, anyhow-" "Aw, shut up, silly," demanded another. "She looked just like all the rest of these black-eyed vamps." Now, dear reader, do YOU know what she looks like? There are two ways of telling a story, and the story of the inroad into the police force morals, by reason of the strain on the temper of certain members of the force who lost themselves in the mud is no exception. Tex Choate, deputy marshal, claimed that O. B. Baxter ran his car into a gopher hole and he had to rescue him and show Mr. Baxter's muddy coat which was drying by the stove as evidence. Now Mr. Baxter comes back with the declaration that he has a real tin lizzie that would never think of doing such a stunt while Mr. Choate has a submarine whose name is "Maybe—maybe it'll swim and maybe it won't"; and that it was this unreliable "submarine" that nosed its way into a gopher hole burying itself so completely that Choate would never have found his way back to daylight if he (Baxter) had not gone to his rescue. "I had to dig him out," Mr. Baxter declared this morning. "That's how I got my coat muddy. Then he repaid me by slandering my car, sheer ingratitude. I call it. Anyway, that's what I get by helping him out. I can't say he bit the hand that tried to help him, but he did slander the car that DID help him. Why, if it handn't have been for my tin lizzie he'd have been there till Gabriel toots his horn. I had to build a pontoon bridge to get him out as it was." Mr. Baxter stated he was innocently sipping a cup of coffee when Tex sent in his S.O.S., and that he an- "We take pleasure in announcing the appointment of the Quality Motor Co., Fullerton, as the Northern Orange County Dealers for our latest masterpiece— "The Sheridan" SHERIDAN MOTOR CO.

Mr. Baxter stated he was innocently sipping a cup of coffee when Tex sent in his S.O.S., and that he answered the distress signal immediately "in a car that you can stay on top of." D. H. Patrick, court house janitor, is at a loss to understand what becomes of incandescent lamps and various other fixtures which he places in and about the court house buildings. According to Patrick, as many as five 75-candle power lamps have been removed from screen enclosed sockets in the corridor of the basement in one day. Others have been removed from the men's wash room. Patrick says that it is not possible to reach the chandelier in the wash room without a ladder, yet lamps have been taken from that place. The janitor says that not long ago someone took a comb and brush which he left in the men's room and that one day he missed a whole wad of paper towels a few minutes after he placed them in the rack. At the request of Justice of the Peace Cox, Patrick has tried two devices designed to keep the door to the justice court open. First he placed wooden wedges between the door and the floor. These, he says, were removed by spectators and whittled up, the shavings being found on the floor the next day when he cleaned up. Yesterday Patrick placed an iron device on the floor beneath the door to hold it open and this also disappeared. He is making a new latch which will be securely fastened and is wondering how long it will remain intact.
