DAIL GREETING TO OUR READERS His be the praise, who, looking down with scorn On the false judgement of the partial herd, Consults his own clear heart, and boldly dares To be, not to be thought, an honest man. Cumberland. AMERICA NOT ASPIRING TO BE SUPER-POWER The United States aspires to lead,orship of the world in bringing to conditions which would make a recurrence of the World War impossible. But this aspiration is benevolent. It is not a selfish, arrogant, aggressive ambition that impals the United States. This nation is not seeking to become a super-power, as President Harding points out. But what the United States covets—what it aspirates to—is a big souled leadership, in which other countries gladly would acclaim and follow the leading of this country. The United States craves for itself a world leadership of service—not selfish aggrandizement at the expense of other nations. This nation does not seek to dominate the world by military power. Only through moral influence and in great moral movements—great enterprises for the weal of all mankind—through and in these would the United States lead. MUST OUT EXXPENDITURES TO REDUCE TAXES Secretary of the Treasury Mellon lays down the simple, fundamental proposition to the house ways and means committee that, unless government expenditures are greatly reduced, it "would be folly to proceed to reduce revenue merely in the hope of reduced expenditures." In other words, tax reduction, really to be a reduction, must be predicated upon CONFERENCE OBSTACLES ARE REMOVED The United States government is having its own way in perparing for the conference on disarmament and on Pacific and Far East problems. Great Britain has acquiesced in the expressed wish of official Washington that no preliminary conferences be held. The London government, too, in line with the American suggestion that the conference assemble on Nov. 11, third anniversary of the signing of the armistice. The sentimental value of meeting on that date will be great, it is believed. Preparations for the momentous meeting are proceeding. Seemingly there is now no possibility of a hitch before the conference opens. Seemingly, too, all the nations concerned are coming to the conference candidly by manifestations of goodwill and with a sincere purpose to make the historic session successful. Factionalism sets a community by the cars and is a brake on the wheels of wholesome progress. The city that forges ahead and flourishes is not the one that is cursed with factional wrangles. Congress, in revising tax laws, should simplify the income tax so that the average person subject to the tax would not be racked in brain trying to make out what the law means. There is no valid reason why the statute cannot be clarified so that even the wayfaring man may know what it requires and what it does not require. That disarmament conference is to be held according to Uncle Sam's plans. He originated the project and is standing sponsor for it, so it is no more than fair and proper that the conditions leading up to the assemblage of the big conclave should be accorded to the good uncle's wishes, particularly as he has no ulterior Bebe Daniels wits at the Fairyland Help It.” Additional Topics of the Day Travalogue, and a Pauline Frederick night and tomorrow Grand in “Salvage be a comedy.” Development of Appleton, retarded years under the Mooney estate of celve impetus by beloved.

The water cap MUST OUT EXXPENDITURES TO REDUCE TAXES Secretary of the Treasury Mellon lays down the simple, fundamental proposition to the house ways and means committee that, unless government expenditures are greatly reduced, it "would be folly to proceed to reduce revenue merely in the hope of reduced expenditures." In other words, tax reduction, really to be a reduction, must be predicated upon very drastic cutting down of governmental outlays. There is no getting away from this. There is no surplus in the treasury. The government expends all that it collects in taxes. Therefore, to reduce taxes, governmental expenditures must be lessened correspondingly, else the government would accumulate deficits that would put-it on the road to bankruptcy. There manifestly must be much applied skill in retrenchment at Washington, or either the government or the people—or both—will suffer. OUTBREAKS IN MEXICO ARE IN PROSPECT Conditions below the Rio Grande again are threatening. There have been serious splits in President Obregon's cabinet, it is said. Intrinsic men have become estranged from the City of Mexico government. Open revolt, soon, need not be surprising. Should the banner of revolution be raised by some well known personage, doubtless there would ensue another of those bloody, demoralizing periods of civil strife which have been the curse of Mexico for the last ten years. Should there be a recrudescence in Mexico to the violence and disorder that prevailed before Obregon came into power, the attitude of the United States government would be watched with great interest, both on this side of the world and overseas. There is no hint from Washington, officially, as to what stand the administration would take. DISABLED VETERANS ARE USED SHAMEFULLY Reports that disabled World War veterans have been and are being treated outrageously in some of the places where they are given hospital accommodations are not exaggerated. This is shown by the results of an investigation made by a secret service agent for the War Risk Bureau who obtained admittance into the hospital for tuberculous ex-service men at Johnson City, Tenn., and spent a week there as a disabled man formerly in service. This gave him an opportunity to see things just as they are. He found that opiates are sold to the former service men, and that flagrant vice conditions prevail there. The men are not given the care they should have. They are not trying to make out what the law means. There is no valid reason why the statute cannot be clarified so that even the wayfaring man may know what it requires and what it does not require. That disarmament conference is to be held according to Uncle Sam's plans. He originated the project and is standing sponsor for it, so it is no more than fair and proper that the conditions leading up to the assemblage of the big conclave should be accorded to the good uncle's wishes, particularly as he has no ulterior motives in his conference plans. Caruso concededly was the greatest tenor of the age—perhaps of all time. But it is too sweeping to assert that the world has no voice to duplicate Caruso's. The very fact that so great a void has been left by the summoning of the illustrious tenor may be the spur to some other potential musical genius to unfold. But, for time being, Caruso has no successor. Beware any clandestine movement aimed at revolution in this country. There is absolutely no reason or excuse for advocating a revolution by force. The people have in their own hands the constitutional means to evolutionize the government to suit their own desires and aims. He or she who secretly or openly preaches revolutionary violence is an enemy to the government and institutions of this country and an enemy to the whole law abiding citizenship. The U.S., in arranging the preliminaries for the conference on disarmament and on Pacific and Far East questions, is using open diplomacy methods. No intrigues, no clandestine meetings or negotiations, no double dealing — just plain, straight forward communications with the various governments concerned. The course of this nation should have big influence in promoting open diplomacy. FIND CLUES IN MYSTERY DEATH LOS ANGELES, Aub. 9.—Coroner Nance prepared today to hold an inquiry over the body of Christian Grippa, a chauffeur, employed at 672 Westmoreland-ave, who died last night at the county hospital from bullet wounds he received in a struggle with a mysterious assailant. According to Detective Sergenats McCann and Hickey, the shooting happened Saturday when he was accosted by a mysterious stranger. Important clews have come to light since an investigation was inaugurated and arrests will probably be made within the next 24 hours. The body of Grippa is at the Pierce Brothers' mortuary.

Try Plain This is shown by the results of an investigation made by a secret service agent for the War Risk Bureau who obtained admittance into the hospital for tuberculous ex-service men at Johnson City, Tenn., and spent a week there as a disabled man formerly in service. This gave him an opportunity to see things just as they are. He found that opiates are sold to the former service men, and that fragrant vice conditions prevail there. The men are not given the care they should have. They are not shielded from vice and temptation. They are not given the wholesome moral environment which they should have. Those in authority in the Johnson City hospital—and every other hospital where such conditions are proven—should be removed summarily and should be punished for their reckleness to duty. This scandal should be remedied before it spreads or becomes more flagitious. Disabled veterans should not be required to undergo the hardships and revolting conditions of such "hell holes" as that at Johnson City. BASEBALL ACQUITAL IS NOT VINDICATION Acquittal in Chicago of seven former major league baseball players for alleged conspiracy to defraud the public by throwing the 1919 world’s series, is not their moral vindication, by any means. Their acquittal is surprising and is doubtless due to the fact that the trial judge instructed the jury that, under the indictment, the prosecution must prove that it was the intent of the accusators to illegitimate gamblers inflicted with them, to defraud the publisher not merely to throw the ball game. The jury probably took the trumpet that the self-confessed or owls were thinking only of private criminal gain, and did not ingrief the intention of defthe reassublicized a power, however, to learn taintenball, that be," in organ.

LITTLE BEAR LAKE SOLD TO SYNDICATE: Erection of a big pleasure resort hotel and construction of an automobile road leading to its door is planned for Little Bear lake, fifteen miles north of San Bernardino, according to report of the intention of a syndicate, headed by Morgan Adams, which has purchased the property. Development of Apple Valley and Appleton, retarded for the last twenty years under the sovereignty of the Mooney estate of Cincinnati, will receive impetus by this purchase. It is believed. The deal by which Morgan Adams and his syndicate of Los Angeles capitalists acquired Little Bear lake and surrounding territory from the Mooney estate is said to have involved several million dollars. The Arrowhead Land and Power company was the agent. Little Bear lake was created by a dam built by the Mooney interests more than twenty years ago. Together with work on a tunnel which was never completed, and approximately 10,000 acres of land, it cost more than $3,000,000. The plan of the Mooney interests was to carry the water "bottled" up in the lake through a tunnel approximately three miles long to the southern side of San Bernardino mountain, and use it to irrigate the land around San Bernardino, Riverside, and Redlands.

The major portion of the Santa Ana mountains lie within the boundaries of the Trabuce division of the Cleveland national forest. Roughly, the portion of the mountains in Orange county that are under forest control measures seventeen miles in length and five in width. The upper portions of all of the canyons heading in the Santa Ana mountains are in the forest reserve. In general, this area is very rough, covered mostly with scrub oak, greasewood, sumach, sagebrush and other brushy growth. The canyon sides and bottoms are lined with a number of forest trees, in which sycamores and live oaks predominate. Waterways from far up in the mountains down into the valleys, and in places to the sea, are lined with sycamores and elders, in places by alders and willows. The forest service is organized for two purposes: one to protect the watershed from fire and the other to give the public the fullest possible use of the forest for recreational and economic purposes. In furtherance of these two purposes, the forest service in cooperation with the county and mutual water companies has established a system of firebreaks and trails covered the main ridges of the mountain range. A telephone line has been built by the federal authorities from El Toro across the range to Glenn Ivy on the Elsinore side of the range. This line is connected with the forest service's lookout station on the top of Santiago peak, 5680 feet above sea level. As a part of the patrol system, a govern- lands mudwamp and candlefish first caught in ten years. Body of man thought to be G. Kilbourn, 613 E. Avenue 20, found on beach near Clifton, Redondo.

Little Bear lake was created by a dam built by the Nuoney interests more than twenty years ago. Together with work on a tunnel which was never completed, and approximately 10,000 acres of land, it cost more than $3,000,000. The plan of the Mooney interests was to carry the water "bottled" up in the lake through a tunnel approximately three miles long to the southern side of San Bernardino mountains, and use it to irrigate the land around San Bernardino, Riverside, and Redlands. The water captured in Little Bear lake, however, came from a number of small mountain streams flowing on the northern side of the range. Because the Arrowhead Land and Power company sought to carry this water from the northern shed over the southern shed for use, farmers on the latter side conducted and won a fiercely contested and long-lived battle in court. The decision in the case has since become famous all over America. It was ruled that "water originating on one watershed cannot be diverted to another watershed against the protests of any resident of the originating district." NEW LAW HELD UP BY BODY'S BY-LAWS Not until next January will the Orange County Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance company be able to take advantage of the new state law under which such fire insurance companies may write policies up to $6,000. Hitherto the maximum amount of a policy that the state law allowed a county mutual was $4,500. The new law went into effect July 30. The reason why the Orange-to association cannot write the larger policy now is that the association has a by-law coinciding with the former state law, placing the maximum policy at $4,500. That by-law cannot be removed excepting at a meeting of the stockholders of the association. IOWA PICNIC AUG. 13 The Iowa Assn. of So. Calif., holding the mammoth summer reunion Saturday, Aug. 13, in Bixby Park. Long Beach, will present to each veteran of the war of '61 a badge free of charge together with his coffee check. It is expected that some 200 old veterans will respond to the call. Another feature will be the life and drum corps of the "Old Boys" and there is no other music like it. Delegations are forming all over California and at least 300 cities and towns will be represented. President John G. Spielman will inject some new stunts and prizes will be offered for many causes. This Iowa picnic is the biggest thing of the kind in the kind in the world and the Hawkeyes are right loyal to their mighty gathering. Try Plain Dealer Want Ads.
