DAILY GREETING TO READERS "Is not in folly to scorn a fool, And search in human wisdom to do more." —Young. LOOK TO STEWARDSHIP OF OUR LEGISLATORS The straightforward, conscientious legislator, state or national, welcomes public interest in legislative matters and appreciates hearing from his constituents, giving their views on pending legislation. The legislator who really represents his constituency is pleased to know what his constituents think and what they desire him to do or not to do. Hence, in petitioning or in expressing individual views to a state legislator or to a member of either house of Congress, a constituent is not transgressing the propriety or hurting the feelings of a faithful, truly representative legislator. It is well for legislators and the people they represent to be on rapport. It is a good thing for the legislator—it gives him inspiration and guidance. It is a good thing for the people—it quickens their interest in public affairs and makes them alert to promote good government and to encourage the enactment of sound, wholesome laws. SAFETY IN AIRSHIPS TO BE PROMOTED Certain types of airship in use in postal service from Chicago into the middle Northwest have created suspicion of their unsafety. Several aviators have been killed lately in accidents that some experts believe should not have occurred. Postal authorities are investigating and this type of airplane may be discarded from the mail service. Air travel, generally speaking, has been made safer. In the last few years, the airplane, in its earlier days, was more or less experimental. Ways and means of improving it had to be developed through experimentation. Many an aviator was the victim of these tryouts. Aviators, on to precipitate a tragedy. They, too, as a class, had to learn the lessons of safety. But air flights are made now with much more reasonable assurance of safety than obtained just a few years ago. EXPECT STRONG CABINET APPOINTMENTS Cabinet conjecture intensifies in interest as the fourth' of March draws near. Three appointments are given as practically assured—Mr. Hughes as head of the State Department; Will S. Hays as Postmaster General and Harry M. Daugherty as Attorney General. Of the three, Mr. Hughes stands foremost in experience in public affairs and in demonstrated abilities. Herbert C. Hoover is to be in the cabinet, the wisecrews at Washington are saying. He is to head the Department of Commerce, "they say." It is to be hoped that this prophecy will be fulfilled. Mr. Hoover in the cabinet would be an asset of instimable value to Mr. Harding's administration. His trained faculties, broad experience and judgment would be invaluable in conducting the Department of Commerce. His services would be of the greatest value to the Nation. Should Mr. Hughes and Mr. Hoover be in the cabinet, they would redeem it from mediocrity even though the other appointees were of commonplace abilities. It may be, however, that Mr. Harding will name a symmetrically strong circle of advisors, with little mediocrity in it. EDUCATIONAL STATUS IS STARTLING From offices and stores and factories hundreds of thousands of boys and girls are going back into the schools, since wages began to tumble. It is estimated that fully 1,500,000 pupils thus will be added to the enrollment of the public schools of the country. Meantime the situation as to lack of housing and the dearth of efficient teachers has postal service from Chicago into the middle Northwest have created suspicion of their unsafety.

In the last few years, the airplane, in its earlier days, was more or less experimental. Ways and means of improving it had to be developed through experimentation. Many an aviator was the victim of these tryouts. Aviators, on the other hand, in many instances did the wrong thing at just the time EDUCATIONAL STATUS IS STARTLING From offices and stores and factories hundreds of thousands of boys and girls are going back into the schools, since wages began to tumble. It is estimated that fully 1,500,000 pupils thus will be added to the enrollment of the public schools of the country. Meantime the situation as to lack of housing and the dearth of efficient teachers has grown worse rather than better. With this augmentation of the scholastic population, the schools of the land are placed in deplorable state. The people, it is to be hoped, will awaken to the crisis before the public school system suffers irreparably. The whole general status of the schools requires the most earnest and judicious attention of the people. Relief should be started quickly. Adequate buildings should be undertaken, even though expensive. The employment of more teachers should be considered. If public school is worth being done at all—and it is—it is worth being done well—even superlatively. Nocilamity is easily to be imagined so bad as to Benner Sheet Metal Works Rear 219 S.

You can't see them, but their theft is constant, unnecessary, expensive. Imperfect compression, less power, fouled spark plugs, too much carbon, and too large gas bills are some of the signs of this invisible theft. Stop this loss of power by equipping your motor with McQuay-Norris Leak Proof Piston Rings. They increase power, save fuel and decrease carbon. For eight years the McQuay-Norris brand has stood for efficient control of power, carbon and fuel. NENNO & BOCK Everything for the Auto 145 S. Los Angeles St. Anaheim THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA At the National Capitol Warren G. Harding There were plenty of references from Marlon, by reporters who were stationed there during the days of the "Front porch campaign" and the succeeding conferences with "thoughtful men," to the condition of 'nerves' developed by the President-elect. Senator Harding admitted that he was worn almost to a frazzle when the campaign was over; but by the time he got back from Panama he was again in fine condition. Evidently the conflicting opinions of the "thoughtful men" almost wore him out once more, and the reporters had stories about their difficulties in obtaining statements and interviews with him. They wondered about it a great deal, and described his changed manner. All of which might indicate, in the first place, that the New President found himself perplexed and out of patience because the "thoughtful men" thought in so many different kinds of ways that he will be obliged on his own thoughts in framing his policies. And having the same kind of "nerves" that the Creator has assigned to all men, the new President, whom everybody knows, wants to be frank and straightforward, is likely to need a good many fishing trips in order to keep his vision clear and his judgment straight. He is a man with a far more vigorous frame and constitution than Woodrow Wilson brought with him to the discharge of the affairs of the Presidency, but it looks as though he will have to cultivate forebearance and patience a good deal before he will be able to find much happiness in his new task at the White House. Unfortunately, neither Wilson nor Harding are so constituted that they will ever be able to "cuss 'em out" like Roosevelt, or "forget it" and be happy, according to the fashion of William Howard Taft. Woodrow Wilson The correspondent of The Plain Dealer sat almost facing President Wilson for two hours on the occasion that he would occupy his new residence in Washington after March 4, and it is given out that he expected to become almost a recharge for a period of at least six months. From a time when the stone age to the present, human nature has been about the same, "under the skin." There has been much polishing and veneering; it is true. But on occasion the polish and veneer wear off and men revert to the primitive. It was so in the World War. It is so in peace. Witness, for example, the scenes in the lower house of Congress yesterday. A veritable tempest of passion swept across that usually stalid and dignified legislative hall. Hoots, cat calls and shouts of "lilies" were heard in the general din. It was not unlike the primeval instincts loosed by excited baseball "fans" in the "bleachers" when the ampire gives an unpopular decision. And what, pray, set this great legislative body so much by the ears? Was it some mighty dramatic crisis threatening the life of the Nation? Was it an occasion calling for whirls of foreign passion? Oh, no! The cause was no graver than when Mr. Stonehatchet, in primitive ages, stole Mr. Rockface's hunting club or bear skin. Congressman Blanton of Texas, in a letter to Texas newspapers, had charged members of the House with planning to raid the treasury and obtain salary increases and Mr. Blanton blushingly admitted that he alone had stood in the breach and prevented this. Congressman Summers of Lone Sturdom arose from a sick bed to come into the House, shake his fist in Mr. Blanton's face and shout at him: "And when you sent that statement to Texas, you knew it was as false as h-!" And so the amenities ranged with cyclonic fury. The House, of course, is a sedate, deliberative body—sometimes. But beware the tender corns of the members! No one treads on them with impunity. POLITICS DEPENDS upon good citizenship to give it good complexion. SOME OF those New Year's resolutions are suffering from sleeping trouble. At the National Capitol When the President came back from Paris for a few days during the progress of the Peace Conference, he headed a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, and his whole appearance was that of a man in splendid health and good fighting trim. On a great many occasions when he was seen in public in Washington during recent years the comment was always on his youthful and vigorous appearance. But the other night when he sat in full view of a Washington audience for the first time in 16 months, he looked like a broken man. Doubtless both he and Mrs. Wilson were very agreeably surprised when upon their appearance in the theatre the audience rose and broke forth in spontaneous cheering. The faces of both the President and Mrs. Wilson showed their great pleasure at the enthusiastically friendly reception; and the President, who had seated, arose heavily from his chair and waved his right arm-in-friendly response. His left arm apparently hung quite useless at his side, and his manner indicated that the whole left side of his body from the shoulder down, was in a state of at least partial paralysis. All of Woodrow Wilson's pictures show him quite a full head of hair, but the crown of his head is now quite bald. The features of the President are rather drawn, but when he arose to accept the greetings of his country men, the old "Wilson smile" was quite unchanged. Secretary Tumulty, in his pre-election speech, described his chief as a man who had "grown old" in two years. That was a brief but perfect description. Apparently the bulletin given out o'r the White House during the days of the illness of the President failed to tell even the half-truth concerning the serious condition o'r the Chief Executive. Mr. Wilson will occupy his new residence in Washington after March 4, and it is given out that he expects to become almost a recharge for a pet dog of at least six months.

The Village Gossip Cupid interfered thrice while the trial of A. R. Morris, charged with reckless driving, was in progress before Justice of the Peace Cox. The court room was crowded to capacity and the hearing had reached a vital point. A witness with toy cars in his hand was endevoring to show how it all happened by placing them in a position on a blackboard upon which was a diagram of the streets and intersections involved. A bashful couple opened the court door a bit and peeped in. "Wait until I collect a fine," said Judge Cox. He returned in about five minutes and again the hearing was under way. But Cupid kept on the alert and soon another couple appeared at the side door. "You'll have to wait until I pronounce sentence on this young man," said Cox. And once more before the hearing was finally ended he was called from the bench to "pronounce judgment" on a coupe that had procured a marriage license at the county clerk's office. By way of diversion Justice Cox fined a speeder ten dollars over the long distance telephone. "What were you doing?" asked Cox. "Forty-one miles," said the victim. "Ten dollars." "All right, I'll send you a check." Witman, Eyesight Specialist. Try Plain Dealer Want Ads.

CANT INCREASE BUSINESS FRESNO, Feb. 21—Any increase in the volume of business of the Powell Undertaking Company in Fresno is prohibited in a court order issued by Superior Judge D. A.

Adjacent property owners attempted to obtain a restraining order. This was at first granted, but the recent decision set aside the other, holding that the undertaking establishment could do the same volume of business it did in the past, but could not increase in any way the number of cases handled.
