DAILY GREETING TO READERS O how glorious 'tis! To right the oppressed, and bring the felon vile To just disgrace — Somerville. WORLD WAR PERIOD MOST APPALLING Thruout the centuries to come mankind will regard the seven-year period, from 1914 to 1921, as covering and embodying the most appalling tragedy in the history of mankind. The seventh anniversary of the beginning of the World War finds peace movements with greater momentum and greater hope of successful achievement than ever before. President Harding, speaking at the Pilgrim tercentenary celebration, voiced his faith in the forthcoming disarmament conference. Formal peace between the United States and the central powers will soon be concluded. The devastations of the war rapidly are being surveyed and rehabilitation is in full swing. A tragedy so far flung and so horrible necessarily dislocated economic machinery and put the whole world in turmoil from which immediate recovery was impossible. There had to be much agonizing, even after the armistice was signed. But the agonizing is passing away. Normality is on its return march. Slowly, but surely, the activities of peace are coming into evidence. And throughout America and throughout Europe—and it is to be hoped, throughout Asia—there is a mighty volume of crystallized sentiment against warfare and for the establishment of permanent peace on a basis of justice and equity among nations. Seven years after the curtain was raised on the greatest tragedy in human annals, the world is yearning to set the stage of international affairs that there may never again be a return engagement of this terrible drama of blood, and anguish, and ruin. TO NORTH POLE BY AIR IS PROJECTED Several flights to the north pole by balloon have been attempted, but all of them ended disastrously. But the swift evolution of the airplane CARE OF VETERANS PUT ON BETTER BASIS Congress is rounding out, in conference, the Sweet measure and it soon will have the approval of the President and become law. While the measure is not an end in itself, it provides the means for attaining the end desired by World War veterans and their friends. It consolidates and centralizes bureaucause which have to do with soldier relief, and makes possible the cutting of red tape and elimination of condition which have caused insufferable delays and much hardship in caring for disabled veterans. The rights of former service men to war risk insurance are increased, and in other ways the measure is favorable to the veterans. Should defects be found, after the act becomes effective, congress can and should remedy them promptly by amendment. The measure should prove to be a nucleus for the evolving of a far better system of caring for disabled veterans. Bonus is withheld from World War veterans on the plea that to grant it at this time would wreck the treasury. But for the valiant, life offering services of these brave men, the treasury indeed would be a wreck and in ruins. What these men accomplished cannot be measured or rewarded in money. But the nation could show a measure of gratitude by granting them the adjusted compensation they feel that they should have. To preach the doctrine that no "bad law should be respected" is pernicious. Who is to determine which laws are bad and which are good? Surely no other than courts of last resort. So long as a law is upon the statute books unrepealed and not declared unconstitutional by the supreme tribunal, that law should be observed. It is proper at any time for the people to move, in constitutional way, for the repeal of a law which they regard as unsound. But until it is repealed or set aside by higher courts, it should be obeyed, just like all other laws.

TO NORTH POLE BY AIR IS PROJECTED Several flights to the north pole by balloon have been attempted, but all of them ended disastrously. But the swift evolution of the airplane has revived interest in the project of reaching the pole by air. Edwin Fairfax Aulty, scientist, of New York, announces his intention of starting a flight, next month, from Point Barrow, Alaska, to the pole and thence to Norway. Not many years ago an undertaking of this kind would have been scoffed at mercilessly. But now the announcement is received with the tacit admission that the enterprise probably will succeed. Should it fail, other attempts will be made. For the journey to the Pole can be made by air with much fewer obstacles to overcome than the trip on terra firma. There is much knowledge of scientific value to be gleaned in the polar regions. The swift flight of airships, with favorable conditions for making observations, offer alluring opportunities to searchers after scientific truth. A Want Ad in the Plain Dealer will Bring Results. Hundreds of new laws became effective in California a few days ago. Thousands of well meaning persons are not conversant with the provisions of many of these laws. Truth is, there are too many laws and ordinances—too many of them which are complicated, puzzling and unreasonable in their application. If this state and this nation need one thing above another it is a simplification of legal codes and legal processes and a reduction of the number of laws and ordinances enacted. This would be a good thing viewed from every angle. Best of all, it would promote respect for law and eliminate many infractions. President Harding and Secretary Hughes are very right in insisting that there shall be no preliminary conference before the great meet on disarmament, unless all the invited powers were represented in the preliminaries. There should be no shadow of reason given for suspicion or LUMBER FARDS Adams-Bowers Lumber Co. Gibbs Lumber Co. C. Ganahl Lumber Co. REAL ESTATE The J. T. Lyon Realty Co. 111 No. Los Angeles St. H.

But inside by obeyed, distrust of molives of the United States, or any grouping—or apparent grouping—of part of the participating powers against any country or countries. The whole conference, from inception to oud, should be open and above board. Civilization has its curses and its plague spots, as well as its blessings. These baneful influences are felt, for example, in child life. Multitudes of little ones, born even in this favor-land, are denied the favorable conditions which promote physical health, mental vigor and moral stamina. They are doomed to live—provided they live at all—in unsanitary tenements, amid scenes of squailor and reckoning with vicious influences. This is one of the plagues of civilization—one of the blots that America has not eradicated. It is worth half one's life to rid oneself of useless and harrowing worrirying. There is nothing that so completely plucks the flowers of sweetness from existence as worry and chronic fearsomeness. To conquer needless fear and worry is to make one of the greatest possible conquests in life. The economic situation has been and is trying, in some parts of this country. But at no time has it been hopeless. Experts agree that the worst is past. The Pacific West, in particular, is feeling the lively influence of forthcoming betterment. There are hard economic spots to be crossed yet, but the trend is toward improvement. Preservation of world peace rests ultimately upon the peaceful intent and innate sense of justice of the masses of mankind. Men may be trained effectually to peace, just as they may be trained to war. Conservation of peace depends very largely upon the way the child is taught in the home and in the school, and on the nature of its environment. Sorry indeed would be the plight of this Nation if it became spendthrift with its natural resources. Its forests already are on the road to extinction. Its coal and oil are not conserved as they should be. Its waterpower sites should be safeguarded with sedulous care against grasping greed. The work ing out of these problems demands the exercise of the highest type of statesmanship at Washington and in the capitals of the states. These problems will not solve themselves well to remember this in the days when men within and without the church are asking—Of what use is the church anyway? The Pilgrims were Congregationalists. Traces have been found in London of the church of Congregational principles as early as 1567. What the Pilgrims Did for Liberty The Pilgrim pioneers gave tremendous impetus and enlargement to liberty, both in church and state. Reacting from gross ecclesiastical abuse in the 16th and 17th centuries, they held that each church was free to manage its own affairs, without dictation from any outside authority. They found their charter of independency in the words of Christ: "one is your master, even Christ, and all, ye are brethren." They were determined, with the apostle Paul, to "stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free." They demanded the separation of church and state, and insisted on the right of every man to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. Of course such a doctrine was revolutionary at that period of human history. King James sented danger at once: "No bishop, no king," said he; and he declared such religion iconoclasts that he would "make them conform or harry them out of the kingdom." The little church of Scrooby led for its life to Holland, and 11 years later to this new world, where they were determined to create "a church without a bishop, and a state without a king." The persecutions and hardships of these heroic Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth in 1620 only served to spread more widely their ideal of liberty. Many others arose in England who cherished the same beliefs. The Baptists, whose first "Confession" in England was drawn up in 1644, nearly a quarter of a century after the Mayflower anchored in Plymouth harbor, held to the same liberty of conscience and church life. William Penn, who came to these shores more than 60 years later than the Pilgrims, disowned the right of any state church to dictate how his people should worship or what they should think. But those sturdy independents of Scrooby and Leyden and Plymouth were in the very front rank of those who insisted on untrammed freedom of conscience and absolute liberty in all the affairs of the soul. rights in a free state, equal privileges in a free church and equal opportunities in a free schools. Hanover the historian said that "popular constitutional liberty had its beginning in the drawing and adoption of that compact." Senator Hosr went further and called it the "most important political transaction that has ever taken place on the face of the earth." Later on at Hartford in 1638, Rev Thomas Hooker preached a sermon before the general court—the legislature—of Connecticut in which he laid down the principles: 1. That the choice of public magistrates belongs unto the people by God's own allowance; 2. The privilege of election which belongs unto the people, therefore must not be exercised according to their humors, but according to the blessed will of God; 3. They who have power to appoint officers and magistrates, it is in their power also to set bounds and limitations of the power and the place unto which they call them. This idea of commonwealth was developed by the hearers of the sermon into the Connecticut Constitution of 1638, of which Thomas Hooker may well be called the father; and which did more than anything else to shape the form of government of the United States. The Pilgrims believed in education. William Bradford improved his sojourn in Holland by studying Dutch French, Latin, Greek and Hebrew. They believed in education because of the high authority which they give to the Bible. Schools were an absolute necessity for teaching their children to read it. It was therefore natural and logical that in 1647 Massachusetts, by law, established common schools in every settlement of 50 families in the colony. This movement was the fore-runner and pioneer of the common schools of the United States. The Congregationalists have always believed in an educated ministry. So they founded Harvard College in 1638. The Massachusetts legislature appropriated $2000 for the establishment of the new college,"the first body in which the people by their representatives ever gave their own money to found a place of education." Yale was founded by a little group of Congregational ministers in 1701. Time fails to enumerate others but one-tenth of the higher institutions of learning in the country were Congregational in that What Your Home Tow Means To You OUR HOME TOWN CAN BE MADE JUST THE KIND OF A YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO BE, if you will become an active and cooperate with your neighbors.

It was stated that Orange-co should devise ways and means for caring for its own unfortunates of whom there was a considerable number. It was also mentioned that since an orthopedic surgeon who was thoroughly competent had joined the staff-of the Johnston-Wickett Clinic, and he being the only one in the county, this institution would be the logical place to bring these cases. Being willing and anxious to do bur-bit in a community need of this character, and remembering that a short time ago an official of the Hospital Standardization Committee made a criticism of the Anaheim Hospital and physicians that we owed it to the community to intimate and carry on some form of organized charity for those patients less able financially, when the proposition of caring for crippled children was brought to us we felt that nothing could be more worthy and at once consented to assist in forming an organization. With this purpose in view at the request of the association Dr. Newkirk laid the matter before the Chamber of Commerce and it was unanimously endorsed. In order to raise funds to defer actual expenses in such cases a campaign was authorized by the association and Mr. Garrett Graham was given charge, since he was a newspaper man and acquainted with the local situation. The articles written for the papers were solely his and were not even seen by any of doctors in the Clinic prior to their publication. For some season, the cause of which I can only infer, certain doctors who do not belong to the Clinic at once raised a protest and attempted to negate all the constructive work done up to this time on the whole proposition. None of these doctors handles such cases as the association proposed to care for, while Dr. Calyx, who has had a large experience in this kind of work, offered his services gratis. The organization has been working out its plans carefully, feeling that it is poor policy to ask Los Angeles to do what can and should be done right here at home. Community nurses in the various localities will be asked to render assistance in locating the children and securing the co-operation of the parents in the work. With this statement we shall drop all further discussion of the matter, but since we feel that the cause is just and our services can be of some benefit to the poorchildren, we shall go right head and care for any and all cases of crippled children whom we may be called to treat. Anyone knowing of crippled children will confer a favor upon the association by notifying me. Yours very truly. BESSIE F. RAICHE, M.D., Pres.
