EDDIE TORIALS IN DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS All that live must die. Passing through nature to eternity. —Shakespeare. OFFICE BOY RISES HIGH IN RAIL AFFAIRS W. L. Mapother, once office boy to the late M. H. Smith, succeeds his former chief as president of the Louisville & Nashville railroad. These examples of remarkable rise from humble to high place are so frequent in this country, they seldom evoke commment. Whenever a man forges to the front in big business or industrial enterprises or in politics, the people take it for granted that he had an humble start and worked himself up. This is the rule in American economic, social and political life. The notable successes, for the most part, are self-made. Those who loll in the lap of luxury—who are born to great riches and great opportunities, seldom make remarkable successes. There are a goodly number of such, however—enough of them to show any boy or man in this country, be he rich or poor, can succeed if he has the right kind of character made with President Harding. The more officehouses known in a talk of federal employees increases effect interest in duty on the ment employees. There is need of a this line in the governments at Washington much taking life easy lect of the serious woe the many in government regard Uncle Sam as ter and they proceed age of this by whirkling by following the linapse at all times, in of duty.

He made this known in a talk to representatives of federal employees. The president urges increased efficiency and greater interest in duty on the part of government employees. There is need of quickening along this line in the government departments at Washington. There is too much taking life easy—too much neglect of the serious work. There are many in government employ who regard Uncle Sam as an easy taskmaster and they proceed to take advantage of this by shirking their work and by following the line of least realtance at all times, in the performance of duty. There is not the vim and vigor in the work of government departments that is to be found in private business and industry. There is need of a general shaking up along this line, and President Harding and his cabinet heads may give the needed quickening. FATE OF PHILIPPINES IS IN THE BALANCE Whether or not the Philippines are to be granted complete independence soon, depends upon the result of the survey of island conditions to be made by Major-General Leonard Wood, for the enlightenment and guidance of President Harding. The latter, it is said, is of open mind as to what shall be done about the immediate future of the islands. If General Wood finds the Filipinos capable of stable self-government, it is said—and it is reasonable to suppose—that President Harding will favor autonomy for the islanders. But should it be found that the participation of the natives in their own government, so far as it has gone, is a failure—or gives unmistakable indications of failure—then, in all probability, General Wood will recommend that the U.S. maintain its guardianship over the archipelago for an indemnite period, until the capability of the Filipinos to govern themselves in peace and in wisdom, shall have been demonstrated. It is urged by military strategists that the islands are a hindrance, rather than a help, to the guarding of the Pacific by America. In event of serious trouble with a first class Aslantic power, the United States, it is urged, would have to fortify the Philippines stupendously, and throw into and of Caruso's voice. They have sung together in great operatic triumphs and neither is jealous or envious of the other, it seems. THERE ARE several promising little human saplings over in Ohio who hope to be heavy timber destined to be struck by presidential lightning when they grow up. SHOULD THIS country ever become so devoted to Mammon as to worship the dollar and to despise or be indifferent to sound character, the seeds of national decap will be down. THE PACIFIC is the ocean of greatest commercial opportunity in future. The United States should assume and holding the leading place in commercial development on this great body of water. ANOTHER FORMER office boy has become president of a railroad. These ambitions, deserving office boys who have their ambitions fixed on the highest rung of the ladder of success, are climbing steadily to that vowed position. Fate can't keep this type of boy down. THE PEOPLE expect prompt, business-like action from the incoming congress, during the extra session. Business and industry are languishing for the judicious legislative relief that this session can and should give. The people will not be slow to evince their appreciation of expeditious and excellent work by the sixty-seventh congress. THE SERVICES that Woodrow Wilson, as president, gave the cause of universal peace never will be forgotten, even though his exact method of cementing the nations together in amity may not be followed. But the spirit and intent of his plan will prevail ultimately, whatever the textual form or whatever name the compact of nalons may take. ONE CAN be just as loyal to the political party of his choice and can be a much more useful citizen by being broad, instead of narrow, in partisan-hybridizing the merits, not alone the faults or mistakes of the opposition party. As political sentiment become broadened and more independent, under the bright beams or general enlightenment, there is more of this broad and generous spirit among the people. It makes for citizenship of a better type than that engendered by petty hide-bound Jackson stating he had a client who seeking a missing relative answering Lang's description. The attorney asked for more details. Deputy Sheriff Holbrook has learned that Lang came to America from Breiman, Germany, landing in New York in August, 1902. Lang took out an alien's declaration to become a citizen, giving his birthplace as St. Peter Hungary, and his wife's name as Elizabeth Lang, who was also born in Hungary. "Lang tried to tell me of someone back in Springfield who has charge of some money of his," said Holbrook. "He says he left $500 in care of this person. Since his departure, he says, he has received about $150 and the rest, he claims, is still due him." "We are under the impression that this man he tries to tell us about is his guardian, as while he apparently is not altogether of sound mind, he is absolutely harmless and not a bit violent. He tries to remember and tell us something about himself, but finds he cannot. Sometimes he imagines he is in Oregon instead of California, and when I remind him that he is in California he seems surprised and goes into deep study, trying to decipher how he got here, and whence he came." Lang's term in the county jail will expire April 5 and the authorities are making every effort to locate his relatives before he is given his liberty; for they say, once he is released he will do doubt wander out into the world again and become lost for another long time. Papers in Lang's possession show that he once lived at 10616 Madison Avenue, Cleveland, O. Other papers show that he lived for a time at 19 Bridge-at Springfield, Mass. Holbrook sent a picture of Lang to the Springfield attorney, who has hopes of identifying him. Just before they were brought from the county jail for a hearing before Justice Cox on charges of agnacry, Frank Schaffer and Guy W. Warner, 19 and 21, respectively, ordered two fresh apricot pies. Convinced the boys were not guilty, Justico Cox dismissed the cases. These boys just ordered pies to be delivered for them at the jail." jokingly remarked a police officer. "Well, if that is the case I guess we had better send them back to jail." said Cox. "But Judge," said Shaffer, "we are willing to let some of the other mistakable indications of failure—then, in all probability, General Wood will recommend that the U.S. maintain its guardianship over the archipelago for an indefinite period, until the capability of the Philippines to govern themselves in peace and in window shall have been demonstrated. It is urged by military strategists that the islands are a hindrance, rather than a help, to the guarding of the Pacific by America. In event of serious trouble with a first class Assiatic power, the United States, it is urged, would have to fortify the Philippines atupendously, and throw into and around the islands its first line of defense in the Pacific. But, even though the islands were given autonomy, an enemy power might seize them and hold them as bases in event of war with the United States. So, it seems the attitude of the United States toward the islands depends—or should depend—upon this nation's moral obligations in the premises. What should this country do, ethically considered? General Wood may be relied upon to get the unbiased truth and to present it to President Harding and the American people in convincing form. And by the truth and by the unmistakable line of moral duty and responsibility this nation should be guided, whatever the material cost. FAR MORE persons eat themselves to death than starve to death. THE LESS of narrow, prejudiced partisanship in this country, the better for the cause of good government. IT WOULD not take long to count all the people in Iowa who never expect or hope to come to California some time to live. PRESIDENT HARDING'S cabinet should be given a fair chance to show its caliber, before final judgment is passed up its quality. CUT GOVERNMENT red tape and give the sick and wounded veterans of the world war the liberal relief they should have without delay. THE PEOPLE should require the same conscientious and industrious service from the public official that they require from a private employee. ALL IS not jealousy or envy between grand opera stars. Tetrazini says she prays daily for the restoration ONE CAN be just as loyal to the political party of his choice and can be a much more useful citizen by being broad, instead of narrow, in partisan-ship—by recognizing the merits, not alone the faults or mistakes of the opposition party. As political thought and sentiment become broadened and more independent under the bright beams of general enlightenment, there is more of this broad and generous spirit among the people. It makes for citizenship of a better type than engendered by petty, hide-bound partisanship. THE UNITED STATES is fully competent to adjust differences between American republics without assistance from Europe. The spirit of the Monroe doctrine should be maintained, at all times, and it is better that European nations abstain from even the appearance of interposing in affairs that are purely of concern to the western hemisphere. Just as the United States abstains from interference in the domestic affairs of Europe. No trouble between American republics at any time endangers the peace of the world and the power and the sense of justice of the United States may be left to deal with any emergency that may arise on this hemisphere. The Village Gossip Apparently suffering from a lapse of memory and unable to account for his presence in Sq. Calif., Paul Lang, 47, of German descent, and believed by the authorities to be a man of some means, is serving a 30-day term in the county jail on a vagrancy charge. Deeds for two building lots in Mittenegue, Mass., were found in his pockets. One shows that he has clear title to a lot in the Massachusetts town worth $4500. The other deed is so badly tattered that the valuation of the land is not discernible. Following the arrest of Lang, Deputy Sheriff Charles Holbrook wrote to the chief of police at Springfield, Mass., of which the town of Mittenegue is a suburb. This official answered that he could not place any such man as Lang, but he turned Holbrook's letter over to the Springfield newspapers. As a result of the publication of a story in the Springfield papers an attorney in Springfield wrote Sheriff These boys just ordered pies to be delivered for them at the jail." jokingly remarked a police officer. "Well, if that is the case I guess we had better send them back to jail." said Cox. "But, Judge," said Shaffer, "we are willing to let some of the other fellows enjoy the pies." The boys were arrested on complaint of another youth who believed they were trying to "roll" him for his money. Judge Cox advised both of the young men to get work as soon as possible. The pair intimated they would lose no time in getting out of Santa Ana. The latest Ford story comes from Augusta, Georgia. "A Ford was standing in front of a fashionable hotel on Peachtree Street," says the Daily Chronicle. "It caught fire and six fire companies came and put it out, and went back to their respective station houses. Again it caught fire and the fire companies came a second time; put it out and returned to their stations. Then the owner of the Ford came out of the fiftol, cranked up, got in, and rode away."

It would use all its good offices to quench any incipient blaze of war that might threaten a general conflagration. And in furtherance of this, the United States favors some feasible, bona fide plan of gradual disarmament—a plan wich, to be effective, must needs be supported in good faith, by the leading powers of the world. But— "If you lived in a block that war surrounded by other blocks, all of them ablaze, would you cancel your fire insurance? Well neither would I." In these graphic words Maj.-Gen. James G. Harbord, chief supply officer in the A. E. F., sets forth the wise attitude for the United States to assume in dealing with disarmament, in view of existing and threatened world conditions. This Nation cannot safely blink; the fact that there are positive menaces to the peace of the world; that this country itself, strongly as it craves peace with all the world; would be imminently in danger of attack should it greatly reduce its armament without corresponding reductions by other first class powers. An adequate armament is this Nation's insurance against armed assault. A. W.
