DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Man is a very worm by birth, Vile, reptile, weak and vain; Awhile he crawls upon the earth, Then sinks to earth again. Pope The leading man today is the reading, thinking, energetic man. Football is a game of brains, agility, strength, resourcefulness and keenness of wit. In the great economic hive of this pulsing age there should be no tolerating of the human drone. Former Emperor Charles has reason to lose faith in the old adage, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Transmitting the speech of the President of the United States across the continent, in his own proper voice, is an achievement which, a generation ago, would have been possible only in the figments of fiction. Three elementary things are necessary to make democratic government successful, namely: An intelligent, upright, incorruptible, fearless citizenry; well defined principles and specific policies coming from this citizenry, with their approval and their mandate for its enactment into law; and executive and legislative branches of government that will execute faithfully, promptly and ably the will of the people. ARMED GUARDS TO FOIL MAIL BANDITS The way of the mail bandit is to be made extremely rough and dangerous. Uncle Sam, grimly indignant at the depredations that have been made upon the postal service, is placing United States marines on mail trains and on trucks and in postoffices of the larger cities. These 1000 rugged guardians will strike terror into the hearts of the criminal element, as the marines have orders to shoot to kill. Eventually a force of armed guards, recruited from the postal service, is to take the place of these guarding marines. Mail robberies for many months have been of frightful frequency. Immense sums have been stolen and lives of postal employees have been jeopardized. Desperate criminals seem to have turned, in force, to the robbing of mail trains and postoffices. This was because such large sums as frequently are sent by registered mail tempted the robber gentry to specialize in this form of banditry, particularly as postal employees were not armed and not trained in defending themselves. More recently, however, mail clerks and drivers have been given guns and have been instructed to shoot. This has reduced the number of robberies, but still there is so much banditry that the national government has adopted the stern course mentioned. Postmaster-General Hayes announces that the mails will be protected, at all hazards. New York Letter New York Letter NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—Exactly $100,000 is represented in dogs at the Minneola, Long Island show. Poms, airedales, bull terriers, big dogs and little ones, dogs that give a gentle woof-woof and dogs that thunder when they bark—they are all there, valued in terms of pearls and diamonds. The name of Marghal Field, long the business pride of the West, threatens to become the social banner of the East. Some of us who came out of the West read with pride the report that Mrs. Marshall Field, 3rd, a New York girl before her marriage, is to take the reins of social leadership in New York. She succeeds illustrious predecessors who married men of means in the East, and is entitled to additional credit for making the effete East swallow the prestige which comes with a greater western name. Practical potatoes have usurped a large part of the domain once held exclusively by chestnuts. Every evening on my way home I pass the street potato-bakers. Their ovens are like chiffoniers of iron, with a glowing fire in the wood-box underneath. Their roasting potatoes fill the air with a tantalizing odor. The passers-by stop to buy them—two piping hot one for the business couple in the double room with a single-burner stove for preparing the rest of the meal, or a basketfull for the family around the corner. Messengers and truck drivers pay the extra penny for butter and tilt the potato carefully lest any of the precious yellow flavoring should melt out over the skin. They then munch happily on the hot supper as they go on up the street. And after school! There is a bigger rush for the potato ovens than ever there was even for the ice cream cone wagon. It is a perfectly natural and quite usual thing for a bank absconder or a less complex burglar to swerve from the truth to the extent of denying this crime, and even of going so far as to deny having been at the place of its happening at the time it was pulled off. But here's a new type. One William Murphy came to town the other day and attracted the attention of the police by throwing quarters and half dollars around at a Harlem cabaret. This seemed too zenry; well defined principles and specific policies coming from this citizenry, with their approval and their mandate for its enactment into law; and executive and legislative branches of government that will execute faithfully, promptly and ably the will of the people. test will be for the transportation prize. The five-passenger Fokker monoplanes are the favorites for this event since their recent European record became known here. Reports from abroad for the last three months show that these Fokker machines have traveled more than 166,000 miles between the capital cities without accident of any kind. They have averaged five passengers per trip in addition to several hundred pounds of freight, mall or baggage. Of the 725 trips scheduled, 693 were successfully completed. On one line, that between Danzig Konigsberg Memel Riga record of 100 pct. was attained. Interest in the speed planes to be shown at the meet is chiefly due to the announcement that several of those will contest for the Pulitzer trophy will be given flying tests. It is expected one of these will break the present speed record now held in France. General Dawes finds it easier to damn the spenders than it is to dam the spending—Columbia Record. Dr. J. W. Truxaw, Golden State Bank Bldg., Phone 341-J. Why Studebaker It is a perfectly natural and quite usual thing for a bank absconder or a less complex burglar to swerve from the truth to the extent of denying his crime, and even of going so far as to deny having been at the place of its happening at the time it was pulled off. But here's a new type. One William Murphy came to town the other day and attracted the attention of the police by throwing quarters and half dollars around at a Harlem cabaret. This seemed too much like a year or so ago to pass unchallenged these days, so the police took him in charge. He explained frankly that he had been lured by a girl's "follow me" eyes into robbing a bank for which he worked in Waseca, Minn., and that he had concealed some $11,000 in Chicago. Along comes Waseca and says he never worked in a bank and that they never knew him anyway, and that moreover, no Waseca bank was ever robbed in its life. It's their bank and they say they know. But William sticks to his story. Harold Bell Wright has talked to so many thousands of millions of citizens of this land through his novels that it was decided finally to have him talk voice to them man to man, as it were. Consequently, his actual voice is being heard in 1500 and more bookstores hereabouts and throughout the country by crowds that fill the shops. A phonograph record is the medium, of course, which the great and only H. B. W. has made and which the shopkeepers are inviting their patrons to come in and hear. While the novelist was here in New York in July and August, he spent a lot of time in one of our biggest talking machine company's laboratories and made the record there. In it he reads one of the big smashing scenes from "Helen of Old House" his new book, and honestly he did as good a job of reading if as he did of writing it. People's talking voices are sometimes pretty bad on a talking machine. But when I heard his the other day, it really did seem as though he were right there in the shop. All those interested in aviation here are much excited over the air meet to be held at Mineola, L. I., next Sunday, under the auspices of the Aero club of America. Many new airplanes will be shown, some of which have made more than 200 miles per hour, but the chief con- Santa Fe Lease SANTA F ELEASE, Nov. 14.—(Spl.)

N., Nov. 14—Messages from counties over the whole face of the globe are buzzing their way into radio central, the new powerful wireless station opened here today. Congratulations from Norway, Germany, Sweden, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, and from William Marconi, Italian inventor of the wireless, were received at the big station soon after it opened with a message to the world written by Pres. Harding. The sending plant is at Rock Point, near here, while the receiving plant is at Riverhead, 16 miles away. At neither place, however, are there any operators. They are 70 miles away in the heart of the New york business district. Witman, Eyesight Specialist. Take Yeast Vitamon Tablets To Clear The Skin Build Firm "Stay-There" Flesh—Increase Energy.
