Factionalism is rank poison in the life of a community. They might declare that naval race off on account of wet grounds. Life is a precious gift from God. The suicide takes this gift and throws it insultingly and blasphemously back into the face of God. The war on illiteracy in this country should go on unceasingly until ignorance is banished. There are millions in the United States who cannot read or write. This is shameful. It reflects upon the best citizenship of the land. For if the best citizens were as zealous in behalf of education as they should be, illiteracy soon wuld disappear. FILLIPINOS TO BE GIVEN "SQUARE DEAL" Should the granting of full independence to the Philippines by the United States and the complete withdrawal of this country from supervision over Phillipine affairs be postponed, as recommended by Geneeral Wood and W. Cameron Forbes, and as Congress probably will follow their advice, this course should not be construed as being a repudiation of pledges originally given, solemnly by the United States. These two eminent and disinterested experts in government of such people as the Filipinos say without hesitation that the islanders have demonstrated their lack of fitness for absolute autonomy at this time. But delay in granting independence does not mean the defeat of independence or the abrogating of America's pledge, some time to make the Philippines wholly self-governing. This question should not be dragged into partisan politics and political capital should not be made of it. BUDGET - REFORM AIM IS BEFORE THE PEOPLE The national budget system, instituted recently, is being brought before the people by a national budget committee. People of the several states of the Union are asked, definitely and by organized effort, to uphold the reform work of General Dawes in directing the national budget. He has saved, it is said, $350,000,000 in four months of his administration as budget director. It is pointed out by an expert in government figures that this saving, effected under the new budget system, is more than the total administrative cost of the entire administrations of Presidents Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, covering a period of thirty years in the early history of the United States. The purpose of promoters of the national budget is to bring about reduced governmental expenditures. This is the only way to get reduction in taxes. And reduction in governmental expenditures will not come unless the people demand it. "A dollar's worth of government service for every dollar spent," is the aim and object of the budget reformers. Besides upholding the national executive budget system, it is the purpose to insist upon reorganization of all the administrative departments of the federal government, to eliminate duplication, overlapping and waste. It is also proposed to urge the citizenry of the country to question their members of Congress closely and sharply as to how much they have saved for the country, rather than how much the individual Congressman got for his own district. This putting of business into government is highly commendable, and movements of this nature should have the earnest attention of all citizens. Water Co.

The Village Gossip A girl, giving her name as Myrtle Etzhoe, of the Irvine ranch, was today in the role of Cinderella. She had lost her slipper. Myrtle was riding her horse home from school in company with another school girl, when a passing auto driven by C. A. Stockhdege, 440 Commercial-st. Los Angeles, brushed so close to the horse that the girl rider's shoe was torn off: The horse, it was said, shied as the car approached and stepped close to the auto, thus precipitating the near-serious accident. According to a report filed later by Stockhidge at police headquarters in Santa Ana, the girl was not injured and was able to proceed to her home, unassisted.

Center St., Fisher Building, Anaheim FOCH CALM WHILE GREETING PUBLIC The reporters who rode behind the automobile of Marshal Foch thru the streets of the big city saw him bow his head to the roar of cheer, touch his red and gold cap in salute to the plaudits, they saw him peer thru the blizzard of improvised confeit, they saw him as the central figure of a demonstration terrific in its force, deeply moving in its sincerity. To the newspapermen Foch, the guest of the American Legion, seemed too calm; his emotionalism too well repressed. Only the man who had been a correspondent in France could explain it: Foch always holds himself in in public. After ward the reporters saw him in the residence of his host in town. They were ushered into a big room thru a group of blue and khaki uniforms. Comte Charles De Chambrun, France's diplomatic representative attached to the Foch party greeted them. The marshal would see them presently; in the meantime if they would be good enough to submit their questions to him, he would interpret them to the marshal. All the ailments of the world were offered for the marshal's eventual solution. Some were summarily dismissed a being outside the scope of the marshal's interest whil in this county. Without ostentation the marshal enters the group, with the representatives of the American Legion: Hanford MacNider, commander of the Legion; Franklin D'Ollier, his predecessor in this leadership, and Alton T. Roberts, chairman of the Legion's national committee. The previous questions are forgotten. At once the famous query finds utterance: "How do you like our city?" "I have seen so little of it and I have been too stunned by your reception to properly observe," he answers deprecatingly. He accompanies the reply with a wining smile and a gesture irresistably French. "Are you pleased with the reception to you?" he is asked. "My friends, the ovation was not for me—it was for France. I am proud that you should so honor my country." He says this with a quite force that compels absolute belief in the discussing subject. His staff officers close in and remind him that a delegation is waiting to be received. "Will the wild cat enjoy France, do you think?" asks the rawest cub in the newspaper group. "My son, you must ask the wild cat," responds the marshal as he begins to shake hands in farewell. The blaze men leave the room in congratulation that they have found a big man who lived up to his specifications in every way.

Now and again the questions produce uproarious laughter from the marshal, and when he laughs he bends over almost doubled up while his arms fan the air. His surrender to mirth is as complete as it is spontaneous. His uncanny memory makes itself apparent when he recognizes in civilian garb the man who was a correspondent. Another tells that he was in the Argonne and in a few short, inquiries, the marshal at once identifies his unit and its work. Inevitably the question is brought up about the disarmament conference; the marshal deftly turns it aside, but he does it with a clear explanation for his reasons for not WM. J.
