IMPUDENTLY RASH MAIL ROBBERY Hold-up and robbery of a truck carrying United States registered mail, in Los Angeles, was a crime startling in its boldness. The robbers displayed considerable shrewdness in deceiving the railroad gateman. They won on points in the first round of defiance of Uncle Sam and his laws. But Uncle Sam will have the last round and it will be his decisively. The good uncle is somewhat slow, at times, in his processes, held by red tape. But in cases like this he is sure and relentless. If robbers or would-be robbers would study soberly the lessons of experience they would see that mail robbers of this type have not one chance in a million of being successful in eluding ultimate detection and arrest. Uncle Sam's tireless servants will trail and trail and trail until the guilty are found and punished, even though it may require years and even though the trail of the criminals may lead to foreign lands. LAWYER AND AUTHOR TO BE MR. WILSON'S ROLE Like the proverbial "bolt from the blue" was the announcement that Woodrow Wilson is to form a law partnership with Banbridge Colby, just retired from the position of Secretary of State. While no announcement is made of the chargeter of the legal work this eminent firm will undertake, yet it is assumed that Messrs. Wilson and Colby will specialize in international cases before lawyer. Then he became an educator and author. Then he entered the realm of statecraft. And now back again to the law and authorship. Few men have distinguished themselves in such diverse spheres of action and thought. OPTIMISM IS PORNOUNCED IN MR. HARDING In his inaugural address and in all his recent utterances Mr. Harding has been remarkably optimistic in the tenor of his treatment of the great problems confronting his administration. He fully recognizes, it would seem, the gravity of pending issues, both as affecting domestic affairs and as pertaining to foreign relations. But, after weighing these grave questions, he yet is confident that the genius and good sense of the American people will carry them safely through, and at the same time wield salutary influence upon the situation throughout the world. President Harding's abounding optimism is quite refreshing and reassuring at this time. The Nation needs it. The world needs it. Without confidence, without the clear vision of possible achievement, this Nation and people would drift into a dangerous state. But the Harding brand of optimism and confidence is infectious. The people have it, in liberal measure. They will have more of it, doubtless, as the new administration settles down to the momentous work before it. CONSCIENCE should be at the helm of government everywhere. CALIFORNIA should control its floods and turn them to good use. MRS. HARDING is fond of blue, but does not allow it to color her disposition. THE UNITED STATES does not want war with any nation on earth and has no intention of provoking a war. LAWYER AND AUTHOR TO BE MR. WILSON'S ROLE Like the proverbial "bolt from the blue" was the announcement that Woodrow Wilson is to form a law partnership with Banbridge Colby, just retired from the position of Secretary of State. While no announcement is made of the charger of the legal work this eminent firm will undertake, yet it is assumed that Messrs. Wilson and Colby will specialize in international cases before the United States Supreme Court. This doubtless will call Mr. Wilson into service only occasionally, and then perhaps more as a consultant than as an active court practitioner. Both Mr. Wilson, from experience in the Presidency, and Mr. Colby, from his experience as head of the State Department, are familiar with international questions and international law. It is to be assumed that Mr. Wilson's attention, for the most part, will be given to authorship. It is known that he is very desirous of writing the history and his impressions of the World War period and Peace Conference. Mr. Wilson began his career as a Dr. J.E.

THE UNITED STATES does not want war with any nation on earth and has no intention of provoking a war. A CHRISTIAN gentleman has just retired from the presidency. A Christian gentleman has just come into the presidency. HAVING DEEN a member og the senate for several years, Mr. Harding has no illusions as to the cashiness of the task of getting co-operation from congress. THE DISABLED service men of the world war should be treated as generously and as appreciatively as was promised when, in the full pride of health and vigor, they marched away to the training camp and the firing line. SIGNAL HONORS are paid the late Champ Clark by congress, by official dignitaries and by the people, died beloved by congress, by official dignitaries and by the people. He died beloved by those who knew him intimately and respected by all. IT IS not unreasonable for the United States government to insist that the government of Mexico give assurance that it will protect the lives and properties of American citizens in Mexico, as a condition precedent to formal recognition of the Mexican government by the government at Washington. CARELESSNESS with fire entails property losses or more than $250,000-000 annually upon this country. Many deaths also result from this form of recklessness. The cure should begin where the trouble begins—with those who are careless. Such persons should turn from their reckless ways and should be careful with fire. ON AN occasion like this fourth of March inauguration at Washington the colossal power and world-wide importance of the presidency of the United States is impressed strongly upon all. Over the civilized world the unfolding of the policies of the new administration will be awaited and noted with keenest interest. THE UNITED States IS a nation, not AIR. The solidarity of the country was settled by the civil war and became more pronounced during the world war. The forty-eight states are as one any and all questions of national scope and import.

The solidarity of the country was seated by the civil war and became more pronounced during the world war. The forty-eight states are as one any and all questions of national scope and import. The plural number of states, in all national crises and on every issue of national character, dissolves into onesess with the nation, the flag and the constitution as embodying the supreme governmental power in the land. UNIVERSAL disarmament is an ideal toward which the U. S. should strive, meantime keeping itself sufficiently armed to protect itself should it be assaulted. This nation should be ready and eager, at any and all times, to join in and to lead a sincere, ingenuous movement on the part of the great powers of the world to disarm. But this nation cannot afford to risk its safety and to invite aggressions by greatly reducing it sown armament in advance of similar bona fide action on the part of other great powers. THE PRESIDENCY of the United States should be treated with the utmost respect by all the people. Children should be taught to reverence this exalted office and not to speak lightly of the president. In a free land like this the president, as a public official, is no timmune, of course, to criticism by the humblest citizen. But, in fairness and in keeping with American ideals, criticism of the president always should be within reasonable bounds and ever should be respectful toward the high office. Break down this respect and subject the president to indiscriminate abuse, and the foundations of loyalty to the American system of government would be undermined. The presidency, it should be remembered, is a representative power and functioning, and it symbolizes the embodied strength, dignity and commanding voice of this nation. The presidency is not a position or an entity apart from and far removed from the people; it is of them, by them and for them, it is a position created and maintained by the people, therefore should be respected as the popular handiwork. Witman, Eyesight Specialist. Try a Plain Dealer Want Ad THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Letters From People The Plain Dealer: It might be of interest to the voters of Orange-co to know where the supervisors and county engineer are spending some of their money, viz., in the incorporated city of Stanton. The above mentioned officers are furnishing men, tools and gravel to pave about two miles of road inside of Stanton's city limits. Furthermore, they are doing this work thru the confluence of two of Stanton's trustees and Stanton's city clerk, who have their names posted for recall proceedings. Five-sixths of the voters of Stanton are on the petition for this recall and it surely appears to an overwhelming majority of the voters that there is a large black man in the woodpile. Why? Please tell us why the county is so anxious to spend the city's taxes, with the county's outfit and even on a street inhabited by more Japs than white people? The road being paved had several cars of gravel placed on it last year, yes, county gravel paid for by this city, and these worthy gentlemen are plowing this in now to get it out of sight before putting on more. In the meanwhile the balance of the city's roads and streets are getting almost impassable. The voters of Stanton will get rid of four trutees and one city clerk by recall proceedings and some day there will be one county supervisor that will be remembered at election time. You can verify these statements if you care to by calling on Mr. F. G. Redmond, the only trustee who has worked for the interests of the whole city, or any one in the east or south sections of town. It is just possible that the district attorney might find something of interest out this way if he looks real hard. Your very truly, E. J. McPHERSON Stanton, Cal. The Village Gossip "Aw, fergit it kid." pecially pleased to learn of Traeger's selection for the post, inasmuch as Traeger was at one time probably the best tackle ever to have played on the Stanford University team and that a number of years ago he played a large part in coaching the whirlwind gridiron squad of the Orange Athletic club. It was in 1904 or 1905 that Traeger, who was then a deputy United States marshal, used to come to Orange and put the Athletic club's men through their paces. Willard Smith and Robert Northcross were members of the Orange team. Another thing which makes Traeger well known among old-time football players and fans is the fact that for many years he was official umpire intercollegiate and inter prep school gridiron contests in So Calif. Traeger, who was born at Porterville Feb. 26, 1880, and who won special honors in Stanford football, came to So Calif. in 1902 to become football coach for Pomona college. Duding subsequent years he was football coach at the Los Angeles high school and at the Univ. of So Calif. Each of these institutions won championships of this section of the state while under his direction. He is head of the Stanford club and president of the Los Angeles County Anti-Aslatic association, besides being active in a number of other prominent organizations. Celebrate National Fish Day March 9 The U.S. Fisheries Assn has sent out a nation-wide request that March 9 be observed as Fish day. It will be real news to many that this fact actually is of greater importance to So Calif. than to almost any other section of the United States. It may not be generally known that at San Pedro and San Diego are located the largest and most up-to-date wholesale fish markets on the coast. Large quantities of delicious food fish of many varieties are caught in So Calif. waters. Some of these are available during the winter. Youth Pleads Guilty; Asks For Probation Carl D. Duke, 16, who received guilty in the superior court having attempted to hold up rob W. B. Carr and C. P. Jesse the corner of Tenth and Spurst sts, on the night of Feb. 3, can fore Judge West this morning an application for probation. Deputy District Attorney M reviewed the facts in the case Judge West after asking Duke oral questions continued the her until 9:30 a.m., March 22, Cly Miller, who is alleged to have an accomplice in the hold-up appeared before Judge West and gained his release from county jail after putting up ball. Miller's trial is set for M 25. In answer to questions by West Duke admitted that he got trouble once before when he another boy stole a watch and a money from a bathhouse at Huntton Beach. Duke said he could not remit whether it was he or Miller suggested and planned the hold the night of Feb. 3. He denied ing a gun in each hand as Jess Carr testified at the preliminary hearing. Duke said he had but gun and that it was a .38 caliberolver. Questioned as to why he attested the alleged holdup, Dugse did not know, he did say, how that he understood that Jessie of the victims of the holdup, carried a roll of bills in his et. Miller recently pleaded guilt the holdup charge. He admits, ever, that he was on the oath of the street when Duke or Jesse and Carr to hold up hands. Jesse ran and Carr refused to ply with the order. The Village Gossip "Aw, fergit it kid." "None-o' yer business." "Go chase yerself." Expressions such as these may have been seldom used among the girls of Santa Ana junior high school. Whether they have or not, courtesy of speech, will be the rule hereafter. For politeness in conversation is one of the chief objects inherent in a new girl's club which was in the process of final organization. "A soft answer" will be the rule hereafter. Every Girl's club is the name of the new organization. The club is made up of a number of groups, each representing a different line of activity. No matter what particular line of endeavor a group may pursue it will be guided at all times by the principles evolved for the organization as a whole. Many Orange-co residents were discussing today the fact that William I. Traeger, clerk in the state supreme court, has been chosen by Los Angeles-co supervisors to succeed John C. Cline as sheriff of that county. Old-time football players were escentricly involved today the fact that William I. Traeger, clerk in the state supreme court, has been chosen by Los Angeles-co supervisors to succeed John C. Cline as sheriff of that county. The U.S. Fisheries Assn has sent out a nation-wide request that March 9th be observed as Fish day. It will be real news to many that this fact actually is of greater importance to So. Calif., than to almost any other section of the United States. It may not be generally known that at San Pedro and San Diego are located the largest and most up-to-date wholesale fish markets on the coast. Large quantities of delicious food fish of many varieties are caught in So. Calif. waters. Some of these are available during the entire year; some are extremely abundant in the spring of the year only. During the winter months the hardy fishermen from San Pedro and San Diego make trips as far as the extreme end of the Lower California peninsula in search of the more popular varieties of fish. There are many people who do not realize that all food fish are delicious if properly prepared. For this reason the demand has been concentrated on one or two varieties when it is certain that fish could be delivered more cheaply throughout the entire year if the public were not so skeptical about the varieties with which they are less familiar. The varieties which are most widely used in So. Calif. as fresh fish are halibut, barracudd, yellowtail, rock cod, bonita and mackerel. Better known in other parts of the country are California sardines and tuna, which are used almost entirely for canning. Approximately 50,000,000 cans of the finest fish are taken from So. Calif. waters annually. Like the gold from the mine sand fruit from the archards, this wealth from the sea is new capital which So. Calif. is contributing to the world's work. If it's from Witman's, it's good! Southern California needs no artificial stimulus. The visit that he understood that Jesse of the victims of the holdup, he admitts ever, that he was on the other side of the street when Duke or Jesse and Carr to hold up hands. Jesse ran and Carr refused to ploy with the order. Baby Camel Feature Of Al G. Barnes Shot One of the most valued posses of the Al G.

American Express Will Aid European Relief "Among the numerous agencies throughout the country co-operating with Herbert Hoover, chairman of the European Relief Council, in his effort to raise $33,000,000 by means of a national collection for the relief of incipient starvation among 3,500,000 children in the war-striken countries of Central and Eastern Europe are the American Express Company and the American Railway Express Company," J. B. Collings, local agent stated today. "Through the authorization of G. C. Taylor, president of both organizations, 'Invisible Guest' certificates certifying that the purchaser has salvaged the life of one or more of the little war victims, have been placed on sale at 25,000 of the company's offices throughout the United States. The cost of saving one child until the acute condition has been relieved by the next European harvest is $10.00, but donations of smaller sums are welcome, and a contribution of only $1.00, under the economical administration of the Council, will keep life in a little body for a month. "The European Relief Council is an amalgamation of the American Friends Service Committee, American Red Cross, American Relief Administration, Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Knights of Columbus, Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A., formed by Mr. Hoover for the elimination of duplicate effort in ministering to the starving children, to the end that the last penny of every dollar contributed might reach a hungry child in the form of food or medical service."
