THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co: Per year, $1; six months, $1.25. Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter. DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind; The chief doth fear each bush an officer—Shakespeare. There should be simplification to take some of the proverbial delay out of legal procedure. It is with nations as with individuals—credit cannot be gained and sustained by discreditable practices. One way to better some moving pictures would be to put at least a semblance of common sense into them. If one were as slow to condemn others as one is slow to condemn oneself, there would be very little false accusing. Give the physical body fair show to develop and to keep in healthy condition. Exercise as much as possible in the open. Europe, figuratively speaking, is trying to steer clear of Scylla. It can do this by keeping out of that which is manifestly silly. America is prepared to maintain its reputation for being the "granary of the world." This year's grain crops promise immense yields. Poor old human nature—refined and better though it may be, yet it retains some of the crudeness and some of the cruelty of the stone age. California is not the first state in the Union to see the sun rise. But it is among the first to see the sunrise of opportunity—opportunity to lead in progress and development. Multitudes of human beings overeat themselves into the grave. The so-called "lower" animals seldom gorge themselves. It is rare indeed that a It Will Pay You to let me quote you on stocks of the dumb animal dies from overeating or from eating what is hurtful. Foreign trade to be built up, must have substantial bolstering of credit by American financial interests. This it would seem, is a sound form of investment for American money. If General Petting is given a free hand, he will put the United States into a condition of military preparedness that will be effectual and without overburdening the Treasury. Filipinos—or certain elements among them—are clamoring for full political independence. But could they, or would they use autonomy safely? Or would they be as little children given matches to play with in a powder magazine? NEWSPAPERS' POWER AND INFLUENCE YAST State Controller John S. Chambers, formerly a successful newspaper man, does not forget or lose interest in the journalistic craft. Mr. Chambers frequently addresses editorial associations or organizations of newspaper men, and on such occasions he never neglects to stress the power, the influence and the dignified position of the newspaper in American life. In an address to the editors of the Sacramento Valley, a few days ago, Mr. Chambers said that he fears a great many editors fail to realize "to the full extent of their power and responsibility." He himself did not appreciate this as much, he said, when he was an editor, as he does today. It is noteworthy however, that this conviction of great responsibility is being quickened in newspaper workers all over the country. The papers which, for a long period have striven constantly to keep their columns clean and wholesome and free from exploits of moral filth, are naturally pleased to note that journalistic standards are moving steadily in this direction. What Mr. Chambers says of the power and the newspaper press is not overdrawn. The influence of the press is exerted not only directly, but indirectly patriotic organically into this country into this swell member 6,000,000. The forces of law and order must sleep or lethargic be thoroughly active. This nation guarded against piracy and that are formed is spreading.

Phone 210 FEDERATION OF PATRIOTS: OPPOSE RADICALS The cohorts of radicalism, active and menacing in this country, are impelling patriots to come together in firmer cohesion to combat violent extremism. Originating with that splendid organization of patriots, the Grand Army of the Republic, there is being formed the Federated Patriotic Societies of the United States. Dissemination of Americanism and protection of America government, institutions and ideals, are its principal objects. In the resolutions declaring the purposes of the federation it is set forth that it is to "stand firmly against Bolshevism, I. W. W.-lsm, anarchy, sedition and all other acts that are designed to disrupt our government and disturb our economic, social and commercial relations." Representatives of the G. A. R., United Spanish War Veterans and the American Legion signed the resolutions.

Teague, World's Largest Lemon Grove Irrigation With Layne & Bowler Water Here is shown a view of the double pumping plant equipped with Layne & Bowler Pumps located on the famous Teague & McKevitt Lemon Ranch—the largest single grove of its kind in the world. C. C. Teague, President of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and the California Walnut Growers' Association, several years ago gave preference to Layne & Bowler Pumps by selecting them for his famous groves. More than 7000 irrigators depend upon Layne & Bowler Pumps. We maintain a District Office at 303 North Main Street, Santa Ana.

The forces of amarchy, disorder and disruption are awake and militant. The forces of Americanism, of law and order, must not be found asleep or lethargic. They, too, must be thoroughly aroused and grimly active. This nation must be safeguarded against perils that are real and that are formidable. Bolshevism is spreading. Its tenacies are reaching out to seize upon Central Europe and to spread westward. Insuduously it has gotten foothold in this country. Only "efernal vigilance" on the part of unhyphenated Americans can stamp it out. This federation of patriotic societies as as good a move as possibly could be made to stem the rising tide of violent radicalism in this country. MR. HARDING MAY VISIT THIS SECTION President Harding is planning a trip to Alaska this summer. Should he nurse the journey, it is probable that he will come to So Calif. He is being urgently invited to come to this section. He might find it very difficult to resist these friendly opportunities for a visit here, even though he were pressed for time. Should he come, Mr. Harding will be received and welcomed enthusiastically in this section. So far as the masses of the people are concerned, the welcome would be non-political in character. Mr. Harding would be welcomed as a great American and as President of all the people, not as a partisan. California has been honored with several presidential visits. The latest of these was the historic pilgrimage of President Wilson, in the fall of 1919, touring the nation in behalf of the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations covenant. From Southern California, where Mr. Wilson made his impassioned pleas, he turned back eastward, only to break in health and to be hurried to the solemnation from which he did not completely emerge until the very day of his quitting the White House. The thoroughgoing Americanism of Southern Californians and their warm hospitality are much in evidence when the President of the United States whatever his political at the Riviera” lands in New York again the other day. And a presidential candidate has a mild and gentle audience when he gets himself up to be inspected compared to the crowds that turned their critical eyes upon the youthful Miss Clair Booth when word got about as to who she was. The winter colony at the fashionable French resort voted Miss Booth her title three months ago, at the height of the season there. For one, I should say after seeing her that she deserved it. Some people are afraid that immigrants “will not be sufficiently quick in grasping the ways of this country and its opportunities!” Let them know of Miss Antonia Duretta. She landed here last week, from Italy, was admitted, and decided to use some of her savings on a tax. The chauffeur charged her $4 for a fifteen block ride, and within ONE HOUR from the time she had been admitted at Ellis Island, she had the case of the dishonest overcharge up before the court. There seems little doubt existent as to Miss Duretta’s chances of getting along very well in a strange country. Of course Washington market is pretty well known in the city, but I hadn’t realized its pre-eminence until a woman told me the story of her butcher. She’s been marketing with him quite a while and they always chat while she is selecting her roasts. The other day he remarked that she had a cold. “I got it at the unveiling of the Bolivar statue,” she explained. “Bolivar, who was he, anyhow?” asked the butcher. “Well, he helped to emancipate a lot of South America just as Washington did for North America,” she replied—rather vague, to be sure. “You mean Washington that was president?” questioned the market man in his pursuit of knowledge. One of the clerks joined in then. “Sure, you know who he was, boss, the one they named—the market after.” “The Love (Chief) is the title of the new comedy which Edgar Selwyn has written for Leo Carillo’s starring vehicle. It will be put on by the Selwyns early in June. Whatever one says or reads about “business depression” or that sort of thing during the winter just past it. One more watch dog has added his name to the hero list. “Spot,” who held himself responsible for the well-being of a Newark factory, gave warning of the fire there the other night, and then led the firemen into the blaze. When it was extinguished, his charred body was found. Women ALE chivalrous; particularly to their own sex. It is no uncommon sight to see a young girl get up and offer her seat in the subway to an elderly woman whose entrance has been ignored by the male passengers; but I saw the real climax of this age the other evening at dinnertime in a popular tea-room. A conventional appearing middle-aged woman took a seat at the same table with one of her own sex, a stranger to her, and on finishing dinner politely inquired. “Do you mind if I smoke?” MRS. B. A. CALLAWAY WILL HEAD P.-T.A. BUENA PARK, May 13—(Spl.)—The last meeting of the P. T. A. for this school year was held on Tuesday evening with a large crowd in attendance. The following officers were elected for next year: Mrs. B. A. Calloway, president; Mrs. C. E. Ritter, vice-president; Mrs. L. E. Berkey, 2nd vice-president; Mrs. John Robertson, secretary; Mrs. L. J. Robeson, treasurer; Mrs. Calder’s room gave the Virginia Reel which was very good. Mrs. Mable Willebrant talked on “Juvenile Morals” and her talk was very interesting and was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Willebrant was principal of the Buena Park school about ten years ago. Miss Wanita-Simpson with a party of friends motored to Little Bear on Sunday and saw quite a lot of snow. Miss Emma Robinson of Anaheim was calling on friends in town on Saturday evening. Miss Jessie Kirkpatrick of Whittier was the week end guest of Miss Wanita-Simpson. Mr. and Mrs. George Sharp and family were Los Angeles visitors on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Thurman were business visitors to Santa Ana on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Mann and daugh- New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, May 12—Maybe we'll all be singing "Hindustan" or even "Rhoda, Rhoda, Ran a Pagoda," pretty soon. For Tin Pan Alley, that block in West 45th-st., where the hits of the season are turned out en bloc, is strangely still. The song writers have gone on a strike. Three cents a copy and fifty per cent on talking machine records, they want. So the publishers are going back into the files and the archives all ready to renew the popularity of the old stand-by. Maybe we'll even get back the "sweet simple things of a former generation" which critics of today love to recall—such things as "She More to be Pitied Than Censured" and "The Moth and the Flame," for instance! "The Love-Chief" is the title of the new comedy which Edgar Selwyn has written for Leo Carillo's starring vehicle. It will be put on by the Selwyns early in June. Whatever one says or reads about "business depression" or that sort of thing during the winter just past, it certainly didn't show in opera receipts. And opera is generally classed as a luxury, too. The Metropolitan Opera, which just closed its New York season a few days ago, broke all records for attendance. While official figures are withheld, it was popularly reported and credited that the company's six months had been one-third more than last year, or a new top record of over $2,250,000.
