DAILY GREETING TO READERS Sweet hope! how easily thy tale Wins credence from the charmed ear! How dost thou teach thy dupes to rail, On thy cold rival, hailing fear! —Mrs. Holland. GOVERNMENT ECONOMY IS OBJECT IN VIEW Serious attention is being given, by President Harding and a joint committee of the house and senate, to reorganization of government departments. This is to be undertaken to devise ways and means of instituting substantial retrenchments. President Harding recommend a "statutory grouping of government activities to the end, as far as practicable, that each department shall be made up of agencies having substantially the same major purpose, and, further, that identical or similar services shall be grouped together." President Harding furthermore enjoins haste upon congress, so that governmental economies may be effected with "no unnecessary delay." As the President says, "the country is demanding and expecting" this measure of retrenchment. The federal government in its departmental activities should exemplify the soundest, best, most economical business methods. It is high time that reforms along this line were effected at Washington. The people have a right to demand and to keep on demanding the relief this would give until the very best obtainable in economized government shall have been achieved. GOMEZ, CUBAN PATRIOT PASSES AWAY One of the most active and courageous of Cuban patriots of the period before and after the liberation of the island from Spanish rule, was General Jose Miguel Gomez, who has just auscumbed to pneumonia, in New York. General Gomez was the second president of Cuba, after the island was liberated and became a republic. General Gomez distinguished himself, not only in politics, but on the battlefield. He became a major-general. Honor the Flag in spirit, as well as in form. The habitual non-voter should be disfranchised. The Presidential bee is no drone. It already is at work, with 1924 in view. There is in good music elevation for the soul that can be had from no other source. California can get one or both of the big political conventions of 1924 by striving for them. Graduation is neither a beginning nor an ending, but a way station on the educational highway. "The pen is mightier than the sword." And the typewriter is more potent than the 16-inch gun. California has an all year tourist climate. All that is needed to induce the all year tourists to come. Every mile of permanently improved roadway in California is an asset of lasting value to the state. Rip Van Winkle couldn't sleep for 20 years now, even in the Catskill. Too many airships whirling overhead. America will be helping itself economically by extending a helping hand to Europe—but the help should be given on business principles with adequate guarantees. An adequate American army, without savior of militarism; an ample navy, without trenzed construction beyond the needs of the Nation to keep itself reasonably well prepared for defense. Women are insisting upon representation on national committees of the two great parties. On the theory that a woman's vote counts as much as a man—a theory that surely is incontestable. There must be waves of moral training to combat waves of crime. Better to prevent criminality than to punish it. Better to save youth from falling into crime than to try to save them.

General Gomez was the second president of Cuba, after the island was liberated and became a republic. General Gomez distinguished himself, not only in politics, but on the battlefield. He became a major-general in the revolutionary uprising in 1888 which, in connection with American war upon Spain freed Cuba from the denomination of the Spaniard. In other revolutionary uprisings, too, General Gomez distinguished himself. His ot was not always easy, as he was in prison for a time. But he was a true patriot and seems to have given himself, in whatever cause he enlisted, unselfishly to the service of Cuba. WHERE FOR VACATION! WHY NOT AT HOMEST! Where to spend the summer vacation, one of the absorbing questions of the day. Here in California the question is somewhat perplexing because of the fact that there are so many attractive places alluring the vacationist, it is difficult to choose among them. If one must needs be economical, and not go far, one may arrange a very enjoyable vacation by staying right at home—or so near home as to be almost in one's own dooryard. If one delights in hikes or short trips, one can get these, of a very enjoyable nature, right from the home door. If in doubt about where to go, or if short in purse, why not decide to stay home, but also resolve very firmly to put aside all thought of the day's work while on vacation? The only way to rest in—to rest. And one cannot rest with that of one's work and worry about it, on one's mind. WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS BY EDUCATION Through the various educational processes the National Tuberculosis Association will wage war upon this dreadful malady. Children are to be trained to be careful of health—to conserve bodily vigor, and to eat such food; have such cleanly, sanitary environment and indulge in such recreation as will promote physical well being. Tuberculosis, one of the cruelists of diseases, is preventable. Scientific sanitarians, thru experimentation, demonstrated the possibilities of checking the spread of this deadly infection by means of clean, hygienic, scientifically careful modes of living. It behooves this and other communities to co-operate in well directed movements for banishing this disease. Europe's war fever seems to be assailing. Now if the infection of peace would spread over there, with the germs of industrial activity, all would be well. Women are insisting upon representation on national committees of the two great parties. On the theory that a woman's vote counts as much as a man—a theory that surely is incontestable. There must be waves of moral training to combat waves of crime. Better to prevent criminality than to punish it. Better to save youth from falling into crime than to try to save them after they have fallen. It is not part of the proper functioning of an American wear admiral to go about over the world discussing delicate international problems. The less talking naval officers do, the better for them, for the service and the country. After all these exciting discoveries of petroleum in this state, some punish is almost sure to remark that California is oil right. Should anyone perpetrate this in your presence, smite him in the most effective way you see fit. Freedom of speech there should be always in this land, but the distinction between freedom and license of speech should be drawn with extreme care and should be observed adliously. Freedom is all right; license is all wrong. The Nation, at last, has a budget system which will become effective in government without delay. Much is expected from it, and much is reasonably to be hoped. The need is great, and long has been felt. President after President has recommended the creation of a budget system. President Harding has succeeded in getting what is desired; Much loss in forest fires is traceable to carelessness. This reckless spirit is exceedingly costly to the country. As the dry season comes on, here in California, regulations against careless use of fire in forest reserves should be enforced vigorously. California should strive to excel all other states in protecting its forests against rockless handler of fire. The greatest measure of economy in government consistent with efficient administration should prevail in every city hall; every county court house; every state capitol and at Washington. The great war entailed government burdens more staggering than the United States ever before experienced. This accumulation of burdens calls for retrenchment and business-like administration of government with taxation distributed as equitably as possible. The World War did not make the world over, as it was hoped that it would. There is much of the self-fearness and the spirit of "might makes right" that formerly prevailed. The planet is out of equilibrium, it is true... Tuberculosis, one of the crucist of diseases, is preventable.

THE STAFF OF LIFE —The children are entitled to the best bread—and it costs you no more to give them ours. —Wholesome and delicious, it nourishes them and helps make them healthy men and women, and keeps them so. —Encourage them to eat it. It will only benefit them. Insist that your grocer give you White Lily Bread It is the only way to keep-out foreign bread. Plenty of Rye Bread for every-belly Saturday.

There is much of the self-fashion and the spirit of "might makes right" that formerly prevailed. The planet is out of equilibrium, it is true, from the shock of the most stupendous tragedy of ages. There may be much better fruits from the lesson of the World War a little later than now seem to be in prospect. But one contemplating Europe today sees little or no improvement upon the spirit of that continent as it was immediately preceding the outbreak of the great conflagration in 1914. The thing that this country needs least today, is partisan politics, paraded about and played at, to the neglect of the pressing problems that confront the land. Politics should be at rest until an election year—and then there should not be too much agitation. In this day of newspapers and far flung intelligence there is no need of demoralizing campaigns. The people know, for themselves, whether or not political parties are keeping their pledges. They have the requisite information upon which to base political decisions. Leave more to the judgment of the people. And keep politics out of political affairs in "off" years. California progresses without belittling any other state. It needs no such boosting as that. Its own resources and attractions commend it to the world. There should be naught but the truth in any promotional publicity that may be given out about California as a whole, or any portion of it. The United States should be defended adequately, by sea and land, against any attack that might be made upon it. When all danger of armed attack shall have passed, then it will be safe and wise for this Nation to disarm—but not until that happy day. Meantime, the United States should, and will, use its influence to hasten the effecting of a compact of nations which would bring about reduction of armaments of all countries. THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DE ALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Worry kills more human beings than war. Colonel Harvey is an ideal diplomat—when he is silent. No community should permit factionalism to sink its poison fangs into its body politic. Europe cannot hope to borrow much money in America so long as it goes on borrowing warlike trouble. There never yet has been a President who had an office for every seeker, or just the office that each seeker desired. Intensify your effort. The greater zeal you put into what you do, the greater and the better the character building reflex you get out of it. California keeps in stock, so to speak, all-year delights for all-year tourists. There is pleasure in visiting this state any season of the year. The United States should not give over earnest efforts to bring the nations of the world into a society or association for the preservation of just peace; for reduction of armaments; and for the fostering of confidence and good will among all countries. This imperial west, with its mighty problems of development and its amazing economic possibilities, should not permit itself to be distracted from the broad highway of advancement into the narrow by-paths of petty jealousies and embittered political wranglings or factional quarrels. Congress is going to have peace with Germany if it has to fight for it. And there will be a fight, from present indications, before the House and Senate become reconciled. Patriotism is a state of mind, heart and being. It is not a monetary effervescence, recurring on Flag Day and Fourth of July. It is a constant and unchanging passion. The United States is giving the world an unique spectacle. It declared war and fought thrush to the victorious conclusion of that mighty war. 23,000 BOOKLETS ADVERTISE COUNTY Twenty-three thousand copies of a beautiful bootlet descriptive of Orange-co, will be distributed among the various chambers of commerce in this county and Los Angeles within the next three weeks.

RECKLESS DRIVING CHARGED IN CRASH Arrested at a Santa Ana garage by Constable Carter and Deputy Sheriff Fowler, Carl Howard, a recent arrival from Utah, was taken before the justice of the peace at San Juan Capistrano by Undersheriff E. E. Fronch and arranged on a charge of reckless driving preferred by F. E. Boucher of SEEKS $500 DAMAGES AS RESULT OF CRASH A civil suit bribed by Smith Trucking Co. for $500.70 damages was filed in superior court. The plaintiff asserts that he was driving west on Long Beach boulevard five miles west of Westminster on November 4, last, when his car was struck by a truck belonging to the defendant company. The damages sought are for injuries to Smith's automobile, being the amount he alleges he paid for repairs. Congress is going to have peace with Germany if it has to fight for it. And there will be a fight, from present indications, before the House and Senate become reconciled. Patriotism is a state of mind, heart and being. It is not a momentary effervescence, recurring on Flag Day and Fourth of July. It is a constant and unchanging passion. The United States is giving the world an unique spectacle. It declared war and fought thru to the victorious conclusion of that mighty struggle, in shorter time than it is requiring to make formal peace. The Pacific is destined to be the historic ocean of the future. Its development, commercially, bids fair to become phenomenal. The United States has its golden opportunity to play the leading role in the great drama of development. PLANES IN DRAGNET FOR SINN FEINERS BELFAST, June 16.—One of the most extensive military raids yet attempted in Ulster was under way in County Monaghan today. All military units were employed in a dragnet which practically covered the country. Airplanes aided the movement and cavalry and motorcycle squads sped over the rough roads, cutting off the escape of Sinn Fein sympathizers. More than 5000 persons were captured in the first rush; but most of them were released. A few were held to be taken to a prison camp, where they could be examined at leisure.
