DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Hope of all the fils that men endure, The only cheap and universal cure! Thou captive's freedom, and thou sick man's health! Thou lever's victory, and thou beggar's wealth!—Crowley. Invite tourists to come to this state in July as well as January. The Fourth of July is not an occasion for the American boy to keep silent. He will not be silent, thank you! Wonder if the young men kneel when they propose these days? Nobody but the girl in the case knows, and she won't tell. The United States should be forgiven if it occasionally, modestly admits the truth—that it is the greatest Nation under he sun. And another very interesting question that, for obvious reasons, Mr. Edison cannot include in his list is this: Will you marry me? The United States will not foolishly put itself at the mercy of militarism by disarming itself while the rest of the world keeps armed to the teeth. He who does not give to his trade or his profession the best that is in him is not dealing fairly by himself nor is he serving society as he should. The world should be impressed with the fact that the most delightful season for touring California begins January 1 and ends December 31 of each year. Legal procedure should be a help, not a hindrance to the administering of justice. Sometimes it is more hampering than helpful to the ends of justice and equity. What more beautiful and inspiring to a true American than the measure of the Flaur proudly waving? The soul that is not thrills by such a sight is warped and domant indeed. Make films both clean and interest- DOG RESCUES BOY FROM DROWNING Over in Oelwein, Ia., there is a boy, 6 years old, named Roger Borand. This boy is alive today because of his dog, Buster. Little Roger fell into a creek. No human help was near. The lad, of course, could not swim. He would have drowned had it not been for his pet. The dog, seeing its little master's distress and peril, plunged into the water and dragged the boy to safety. What is to be said of this noble fidelity of animals to man? What can be said that adequately and fully expresses appreciation of such service? The late Senator George G. Vest, of Missouri, panegyrized the dog as eloquently, perhaps, as ever mortal man did. John Muir sang the praises of his "stickeen." Poets have set to noble measure tributes to the dog; artists have painted the Saint Bernards, and other splendid strains. And yet, withal, these faithful friends of man are not—cannot be—overpraised. SAYS HE WAS AFRAID I. W. W. WANTED HIM That he was in fear of his life at the hands of L. W. W., members who he claims had threatened to kill him, was the startling assertion made by Matt Kuskila, 32, when arrested near Villa Park this morning. Kusila, clad in an ill fitting suit of extreme shabbiness, his face unkempt and hair badly matted was discovered beneath some hay when Emil Harms of N. Handy-st, entern his barn. Despite vehement portait on the stranger's part he was detained by Harms until City Marshal Jemison arrived to take him in charge. The man had evidently slept in the barn all night. The prisoner was lodged in the Orange city jail on a charge of vagrancy. According to the story told by the prisoner he came to Canada from Finland, thence to the U. S. He located at San Pedro, where he declares he re- BOY SCOOT COUNTY The week of Scout week in By the end county organizer be completed ed at a meeting of the scout of the year's At the meet tricts in the c 10 to five.

What indeed beautiful and inspiring to a nice American than the spectacle of the Pig proudly waving? The soul that is not thrills by such a sight is warped and domant indeed. Make films both clean and interesting. This can be done and the public should demand that it be done and back the demand by patronizing only those pictures which are clean and decent. Steadily, but surely, the processes of economic readjustment are going on. Normal levels are being reached in some directions. The approach to normality is evident in many channels of activity. Europe is gradually beating its swords into plowshares. The war fever is breaking, over there. Soon there should a mighty hustling of economic forces to bring that ill-starred continent back, to the normal activities of peace. Filipinos are not a unit for immediate independence, and the masses of them seem to be very friendly to the United States. There is extreme delicacy in what should be done about the autonomy of the islanders—whether to grant it outright at once or whether to come to it gradually. BLOODSHED AND RUIN IN RACE PASSION Whichever race is blameworthy for starting the horrible outburst of bloody passion at Tulsa, Okla., the course of neither the whites nor the negroes who participated in it and frzenz of wreck and ruin is justifiable. The negroes who attempted to rescue one of their race who was accused of committing a holous crime, did wrong. The whites who attacked negroes and their property indiscriminately, did wrong. The whole sorry trgedy was wrong from its inception. The state of feeling between the two races in Tulsa was such as to invite and to incite to rioting and bloodshed. When the woodland is dry as tinder and there is a breeze blowing, a lighted match applied there is sure to start a disastrous conflagration. If conditions were otherwise the lighted match would do little or no harm. Racial feeling in Tulsa was dry as tinder, so to speak. The lighted match was thrown and the holocaust of destructive passion was begun. SCANDALS EXPLOITED AS LEGITIMATE NEWS Came the Hamon tragedy, several weeks ago, and the subsequent trial of Clara Smith Hamon. These consumed space in the saffron sensation-all for a long time, masquerading as real news. Then the odious Stillman exposures. This nauseous stuff extreme shabbiness, his face unkempt and hair badly matted was discovered beneath some hay when Emil Harms of N. Handy-st, enterd his barn. Despite vehement portent on the stranger's part he was detained by Harms until City Marshal Jemison arrived to take him in charge. The man had evidently slept in the barn all night. The prisoner was lodged in the Orange city fall on a charge of vagrancy. According to the story told by the prisoner he came to Canada from Finland, thence to the U.S. He located at San Pedro, where he declares he resided at 214 S. Beacon-st. The local police immediately got in touch with San Pedro authorities, who after hearing a description of Kuskila, declared they knew the man. The San Pedro communication established Kuskila as an I. W., W., who was recently arrested at the Beach town and taken to Los Angeles to await trial. The dispatch adds that his trial was to be held next Tuesday at Los Angeles and that he at liberty on $5000 bond. It is the belief of the San Pedro police that Kuskila jumped his bond and attempted to disguise his movements by emulating a knight of the road. Los Angeles authorities were notified and are investigating with a view of ascertaining whether Kuskila is wanted on allegations that he is an I. W., W. Orange police were ordered to hold him on a vagrancy charge pending further outcome of the investigation. Should he prove to be the man alleged in the report from San Pedro he will be removed to the Los Angeles jail, it was stated. AUTO TRADES ASS'N. TO ELECT OFFICERS With new officers elected by the Orange-co. Auto Trades Assn., and new chairmen for crafts to be selected, tradesmen identified with the association are expected to attend the various meetings this month in larger numbers than usual. There is no friction on in the association or in any of the crafts, but the fact that new directing heads are to be elected is causing a keener interest in the meetings. The tire dealers' and vulcanizers' craft meet Monday evening at 6:30 at the Blue Bird cafe, Anaheim. Wednesday evening, June 8, the garage repairmen and machinists will meet at 7 o'clock at the Den o' Sweets, Orange. The craft of the Motor Car, Truck and Tractor dealers will meet Friday evening June 10, at 6:30 o'clock at the "Milk Bottle," Fullerton. A special feature for the evening will be an illustrated talk by an expert on automobile accounting. The big general meeting of the association will be held Friday evening, June 17 at 8 o'clock at the Orange-co. Confignition Works, Santa Ana, with the executive board meeting at 6:30 the same evening at the Den o' Sweets, At Webber SCANDALS EXPLOITED AS LEGITIMATE NEWS Came the Hamon tragedy, several weeks ago, and the subsequent trial of Clara Smith Hamon. These consumed space in the saffron sensationals for a long time, masquerading as real news. Then the odious Stillman exposures. This nauseous stuff is being printed yet, column after column, day after day. And yet another has been added to these disgusting scandals—that of the notorious "Peggy" Joyce. Hamon, Stillman, Joyce — these names, and the scandals attached to them, should have no place in the news columns of any newspaper, except to chronicle, in bare outline, just what actually develops in court actions, without setting down the miserable details. To print this matter in unlimited volume is a pollution of journalism and an imposition upon the public. The people have a right to be free from the contaminating influences of publications of this nature. OUT IN RAILWAY WAGES; LOWER FREIGHTS Reduction in railway wages, which has been expected for some time, has been ordered by the federal railroad labor board, to become effective July 1. The reduction averages about 12 per cent and will mean a cut in the railways' payroll of about $400,-000,000. Railroad magnates are complaining that the reduction was not made heavier. They had their hearts set upon a $600,000,000 decrease in the railroad payroll. Soon after announcement of this reduction came the intimation that the interstate commerce commission soon will order the railroads to reduce freight rates. This adds to the public interest in the subject of railway operation. In making these readjustments, careful attention should be given, in every instance, to maintaining the equities. There are three elements to be considered—labor, the railroads themselves, and the public. Each of these should have a "square deal." It's from Witman's it's good: Urge Supervisors to Back County Library A letter urging the board of supervisors to support the county free library was received today from the Capistrano farm center and placed on file in the county clerk's office. It will be read to the board at its next regular meeting. The letter is signed by H, H, Blee, secretary of the Capistrano farm center. It states that the center adopted a resolution at its last regular meeting favoring the establishment of the library. The board has received several letters recently from other organizations opposing the establishment of the library. Southern California's invitation to tourists should not be limited to the winter season. They should be invited to come in whatever season they may choose. They should be informed of the delightfulness of the summers here. Try Plain Dealer Want Ads. Try Plain Dealer Want Ads. THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA BOY SCOUT WEEK IN COUNTY, JUNE 12-18 The week of June 12-18 is to be Boy Scout week in Orange-co. By the end of that week a complete county organization by districts will be completed, and under plans adopted at a meeting of the county council of the scout movement, the remainder of the year's budget will be raised. At the meeting the number of districts in the county was reduced from 10 to five. It is proposed to have a complete organization in each of the districts. The experience of the council since its organization last October has shown that better organization can be kept up with five districts than is possible with a greater number. In the reorganization of districts former council members will be continued in their relationship to the county organization so far as possible. In order to finance the Boy Scout work for the last six months of this year and to meet the obligations of this month $2500 is to be raised. Assistant Chief Executive Miller of Los Angeles was present at the conference Saturday evening. He said that county organization of Boy Scout councils has been undertaken in eight counties in the four states in his jurisdiction. The first county organization was that in this county. Through the Boy Scout organization in this county 450 boys have been reached through troop organizations. When the county organization was formed nine months ago there were less than 40 boys in the county actively organized in Boy Scout work. COMMUNITY DRIVE TO ASSIST LEGION The Orange War Service committee which closed a career of strenuous activities with the last of the Liberty Loan campaigns will be assembled again to grapple with a community task as it did in war days. That was a decision reached at a gathering of citizens at the American Legion hall called for the purpose of considering ways and means of placing the work of the Legion on a substantial basis. The meeting was called at the request of a committee consisting of N. $10,371 SOUGHT IN AUTO CRASH SUITS Guy L. Kay of Anaheim, is named as defendant in two civil suits on file in superior court here today. One action was brought by H. L. McLellan of Placentia and the other by his wife, Nina. Total damages to the sum of $10,371.64 are sought by the plaintiffs. The action grows out of an automobile collision for which Kay is held responsible. Both complaints allege that Donald Kay, son of the defendant, was driving the latter's car Sept. 21, 1920, and that he failed to give a visible signal before making a sudden turn into a driveway on the lee side of Placentia avenue. As a result of the alleged negligence McLellan's car crashed into the Kay machine, Mrs. McLellan her complaint asserts that she was thrown against the windshield, and that she sustained a fractured knee cap and numerous lacerations and abrasions about her body. Mrs. McLellan seeks $10,050 damages for personal injuries and Ms. McLellan in a separate suit, is asking $321.64 damages to his automobile. ANAHEIM RECEIVES PUBLICITY ON SHOW Anaheim C. of C. has received 1,523 clippings on the Valencia Orange show, more than enough to per a good sized room, Malcom Fraser, secretary, stated today. More than 1,400 of these are from the Pacific Coast states, and were collected by a clipping bureau in L.Angeles. It was at first estimated that they were more than 20,000 inches free advertising given the show various newspapers thrust out the motion and that these stories were featured on the principal news pages on the papers. More than half the amount is already on file, so it is believed that the Amount of space given will exceed this figure. 250-BBL WELL AT TO ASSIST LEGION The Orange War Service committee which closed a career of strenuous activities with the last of the Liberty Loan campaign will be assembled again to grapple with a community task as it did in war days. That was a decision reached at a gathering of citizens at the American Legion hall called for the purpose of considering ways and means of placing the work of the Legion on a suburban basis. The meeting was called at the request of a committee consisting of N. T. Edwards, F. L. Alnsworth, Willard Smith, W. F. Feldner, E. W. Bolinger, J F Allen and W. N. Cummings, who sent invitations to a number of people of the district. The action was the outgrowth of the situation which the community finds itself facing in dealing with cases of disabled service men. The Legion is being called on to meet an increasing number of demands for aid to sick or disabled service men who are coming to this country for their health and who frequently find themselves unable to work or to care for their dependents. It has been the Legion's business to place them in charge of the proper authorities and care for their immediate necessities. HEARING IS CONTINUED The case of Uri Sanders, Richfield oil worker, charged with grand larceny in a complaint filed by G. W. Bollais, of Yorba Linda, was continued until June 17 at 2 p.m., by Justice of the Peace Cox, after the complaining witness and two others were allowed to testify Saturday. Deputy District Attorney Roland Thompson requested the continuance. It is understood that he desired to confer with severa witnesses called in the case and one or two were not subpoenaed for the first hearing. Sanders is charged with stealing five $20 paragon gold coins issued in 1907 and now worth a premium, and a gold watch and chain. According to Bollais the theft occurred April 15, last. PREACHES ON THOSE WHO WILL BE SAVED "These That Shall be Saved" was the sermon subject of Rev. Jesse N. Blakeley, pastor of the Church of the Lord, at his home, 511 No. Olive-st, at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He showed by the scriptures that there is no such thing as a hope-so religion, but that the Spirit of God must bear witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. He preached from the text I. John 3:2.3. "Beloved, now we are the sons Mrs. Royal J. Dye, wife of Dr. Royal J. Dye, for 22 years a Missionary at Bolinge, Africa, and the first Christian missionary to invade the wilds of Central Africa, delivered an address last night at the First Christian church of Brea on the needs of more men and women in the gospel work. Seven boys and girls responded to the call and dedicated themselves to the carrying on of the gospel. They were: Margaret Falconer of the U. of C.; Edith Spicer of the Fullerton high school; Hortence Harkey, Rachael Brawley, Chauncey Reis, Beulah Anieley and Iris Hodkins. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton were present, and Mr. Chapman told that when he was a poor boy he had desired to become a minister, and needed a hundred dollars to carry him thru college, but that he had been unable to obtain it. He therefore declared he would give $100 to each of the ones who dedicated themselves to the work of the gospel when they were ready to enter college. Next Sunday children's day will be observed at the Brea Christian church. The Brea and Fullerton Christian church ladies will put on a missionary benefit service at the home of Mrs. C. C. Chapman tomorrow. BILLS OF INTEREST TO AUTOISTS SIGNED Several bills of interest to motorists were signed by Governor Stephens recently. The bills included are these: A. B.

Shank of this city. These men will be independent from this pair of lots. While the oil is about 17 gravity, it is expected that it will increase as the well clears itself. This is another excellent well added to the list of producers of this wonderful field. RACING DRIVER WEDS AT S. A. Omar Toft, well known racing driver, Miss Elizabeth Tavres, of Phoenix, Ariz., were on their honeymoon today, following their marriage at Santa Ana by Justice of the Peace Cox. Toft gave his age as 30 and Miss Tavres at 25. Toft's first wife, Mrs. Leotia K. Northam, died a few months ago. His marriage to Mrs. Northam took place in the spring of 1916, following her separation and eventual divorce from her wealthy husband, who made a settlement on her amounting to several hundred thousand dollars. Toft narrowly escaped death in the Phoenix road race about six years ago when the car he was driving turned over at Culver corner, south of Tustin.
