Decurathed from bleeding sire to son. Though baffled oft, is ever won. Byron, FRIENDLIER RELATIONS WITH MEXICO Relations between the United States and Mexico are measurably better. What is most gratifying is that this betterment promises to be permanent. It is to be based—as it should be—upon mutual respects for rights. The United States has no purpose to despair Mexico or to take advantage of it in any way. Mexicans lawfully in this country, who obey the laws, are protected in their rights. The United States government is to insist upon the same safety for its citizens and their properties in Mexico. In truth, in view of them any violations of the rights of Americans in the last few years, below the Rio Grande, and the many Americans slain down there, it is not amiss for the government at Washington to insist that the City of Mexico government gives unqualified assurance of its purpose to protect Americans and their properties, as a condition precedent to formal recognition of the Obregon regime. The most promising phase of bettered relations is evident in the felicitous interchanges between commercial organizations and the earnestly cordial exchanges of friendly sentiment between influential, representative men of the two countries. Californiaans in particular have been active in this, and it is a phase of improvement in relations that should be encouraged. OPTIMISM, seasoned with sense, is an excellent thing. WOODROW WILSON'S place in universal history will be illustrious and secure. OFFICIAL A SQUARE DEAL. The one obligation is as strong as the other. MR. HARDING starts his administration with strong words of optimism and hope. This is the right spirit. NATIONAL POLICIES should be pitched on a broad, high plane, free from pettiness, narrowness and prejudice. THE SENATE tarted out well in co-operating with President Harding by ratifying promptly his cabinet appointments. THERE SHOULD be legislation by congress limiting very rigorously the amount that may be expended in a presidential campaign. PRESIDENT HARDING has before him tasks and delicate responsibilities that would tax the abilities of a superman. But the new president is bending his back to the work with good cheer and confidence. This attitude should lighten his load and also inspire the people with greater confidence and courage. Nothing more surely breeds courage than courageous leadership. THE INAUGURATION of a president of the United States is a ceremonial of extreme simplicity. God alone knows what emergencies the inaugurated president may have to meet, or thus what ordreals the nation may have to pass within the quadrennium that the new president is to serve. Come sunshine, or come storm to the nation, the functioning of the president is a trust that ranks among the very greatest that falls to the lot of a mortal man. PRESIDENT HARDING speaks for peace with all the world, but gives warning that "our eyes will never be blind to a developing menace, our ears never deaf to all of civilization." He pladges this nation to maintain an OPTIMISM, seasoned with sense, is an excellent thing. WOODROW WILSON'S place in universal history will be illustrious and secure. THE MAN in public office should give the public a square deal.

ABPLANALP Proprietor The Village Gossip They may not be eager in some parts of southern California to secure their final decree of divorce, but in Orangeco persons who have been granted interlocutory decrees lose no time after necessary year has lapsed in getting the document which sets forth that the ties of matrimony binding those concerned have been finally dissolved. So declared County Clerk J. M. Backs today, commenting on the fact that in San Bernardino-co it has been found that nearly 100 persons granted interlocutory decrees have never filed their final decrees, and are therefore still legally married. "There may be two or three instances where, thru an oversight or some other reason, the decree is not filed, but they are very rare," said Backs. Attorneys in divorce cases here do not consider their task complete until the final decree is filed and recorded. The divorced person may file the decree himself if he so desires, but this is usually done by his attoorney. Cards are being mailed out in San Bernardino-co to the persons involved in an effort to clear up the existing situation.
