Persuasion reforms more men than abuse. The more firmly the world anchors itself to the teachings of the Bible, the more securely will it ride the storms of stress and adversity. California is near the forefront among the states in volume of gasoline produced. And as to the amount consumed, California perhaps is second to no other state. To study the lives of great men and women is inspiring. Biography is full of human interest. No library is complete without several good biographies and autobiographies. The man who lives honestly, and who is industrious and useful and law-abiding, is thereby patriotic. For that kind of life denotes love of country and exemplifying of its highest ideals. Before supplies of oil and gasoline are completely exhausted science will have a substitute. The world went along well before petroleum was discovered and developed in commercial quantities. It could get along without petroleum. Experts, however, hold out reasonable hope that, by extracting oil from shale, this countryside in history of California's modern historical era are brought to mind by the discovery and sale of Fort Sutter papers of 1846-47—papers which long have been lost. Finding of these treasured documents has been hailed as the greatest historical discovery of a generation. An art and book concern of New York purchased these papers for an unnamed client. It may have been Henry E. Huntington. But, whoever the buyer, he doubtless will preserve the papers with assiduous care and they eventually, if not from the present time, will repose in some California library or museum. California's history is replete with romantic interest. Go back, in research, to the days when the renowned rovers of the sea first were skirting these shores—the there was romance then. Follow the warp and woof of this region's history as it became part of Mexico and as, in due process, the padres came to establish the famous missions—the there was romance then. And interwoven with the romantic events were the Indians of California—the inspiration of Helen Hunt Jackson in writing "Ramona." And the fateful discovery of gold—what a romance was that! And what romance in the coming of the Argonauts—that long line of hardy wooers of fortune who braved the perils of the plains, the mountains and the desert, or who made the hazardous journey around the Horn!

The world went along well before petroleum was discovered and developed in commercial quantities. It could get along without petroleum. Experts, however, hold out reasonable hope that, by extracting oil from shale, this country can develop enough to last for hundreds of years. There is no reason to be unduly apprehensive over the oil situation. ECONOMIC CONFERENCE AT LATER DATE The proposed financial and economic conference of European nations at Genoa is to be postponed. The date originally fixed was March 8. The political situation in Italy is so disturbed and disquieting, that it hardly would be feasible to have the big gathering held in that country at this time. Furthermore, it would be more in order to put through ratification the treaties and agreements formulated by the Arms Conference in Washington. Acceptance of these compacts logically should precede any movement to bring the European countries into closer economic relations and into co-operation to relieve the industrial and financial inertia and depression now prevalent throughout the Old World. Attitude of the government of the United States toward the proposed economic conference is to be made known soon. While this country may not become a direct and active participant in the conference, yet, should the nations of Europe evince a determination to be self-helpful, the United States would not be unsympathetic toward the conference and its aims. Even though this country may not participate actively in the conference, it doubtless will have trained observers there and will keep in official touch with the proceedings, and thus be prepared to co-operate with Europe in whatever degree may be deemed proper by "the powers that be," at Washington.

And what romance in the coming of the Argonauts—that long line of hardy wooers of fortune who braved the perils of the plains, the mountains and the desert, or who made the hazardous journey around the Horn! And as California was wrested from Mexico; as it settled up and became a state; as it took on its varied development, and as it became the favorite region for tourists and sightseers—what romance in its shifting scenes of activity, its phenomenal progress and its amazing wealth, California verily is the Land of Romance. Court procedure in this country should be exemplary for directness and simplicity. It should be possible to hasten the processes of law to dispense justice expeditiously. There is much about the procedure now in vogue that is archaic and that makes for vexatious delays. It is exceedingly gratifying for the great nations voluntarily and eagerly to enter upon a holiday in naval building. The hope of future peace in the world lies in perpetuating this intense desire to avoid war. When all the great nations sincerely try to keep at peace, they are very sure to succeed. SOLITUDE It comes to me in the open, As balm to a spirit low, I hear its voice as the whispers. Of wilds that softly blow. It speaks to me in the desert, And still in the shaded wood, And my soul is stirred, for my soul hath heard The voice of the solitude. It comes to me in the desert, In whispers that seem divine, And the chords of its silent spirit I find answering chords in mine, And I open the depths of my spirit, Where no other may eer intrude; The mask is flown, and I greet my own In the voice of the solitude. — Harry Fee in Stockton Record.

HERE'S ONE TO PUZZLE OVER After they had been at the police station 20 minutes Sachs and the danger were boiled out—New York Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying MALEFACTORS OF ILL HEALTH — Winston-Salem (N. C.) Journal. There was great rejoicing when Frank H. Noble and three other men convicted of conspiracy to eliminate competition and fix prices were sent to prison for four months. The authorities themselves were admittedly proud of the fact that for the first time wealthy violators of the Sherman act had actually received jail sentences, and the feat was proclaimed as "the first of a series of emancipation proclamations for the homebuilders of this country." Henceforth "lawless business men" and wicked price-boosters were to be properly punished. But such jubilation had hardly subsided when, after but one month, Nobbe, the most conspicuous of the four jailed culprits, was mercifully released on account of his poor health—by order of Attorney General Daugherty with the approval of President Harding. Apparently Nobbe's illness was quite serious, for it is stated that in consequence of the "nervous strain" and "humiliation" he endured while in jail he will not be able to go back to business for two or three weeks."

This man who married his mother-obligingly testified that unless he was released "it might take him a longer time to recover" from a tubercular tendency he has had for twenty years. Doubtless Chief Justice Taft smiled sadly, for while President he liberated another malefactor of poor health, the continuously notorious Charles W. Moore—an act Mr. Taft has said that he regretted more than any other mistake of his administration. Attorney General Daugherty recently called federal and state prosecuting attorneys into conference to consider means of checking "the wave of crime" and the contempt for law shown by wealthy and influential men. Possibly some of the consulting attorneys now wonder whether the quick release of Nobbe will greatly terrify civil doers and put a stop to the disregard of law by other wealthy and influential men. PROPOSE BIG DAM IN SANTIAGO CREEK Hazking back to 1915 when an initial survey was made, plans for construction of a huge dam across Santiago creek at the fourth crossing at a point known as Man Cow Rock, near the county park, will be revived at the annual meeting of the John T. Carpenter water company at El Modena school Saturday. The project, which will entail an expenditure of between $400,000 and $500,000, is to be maneuvered jointly by the John T. Carpenter and Serrano water companies and James Irvine, wealthy county landowner. According to officials of the water companies an agreement has already been reached with Irvine, who owns the site upon which the dam would be constructed.

GET APPROPRIATION FOR FROST ALARM Through the direct intervention and interest of Congressman Phil D. Swing of El Centro, representing the district of which Orange county is a part, the agricultural appropriations committee of the House of Representatives has increased the amount to be used in giving frost warnings by $3,000, over last year's appropriation. This appropriation will enable the weather bureau to give warnings more completely and successfully, and over a wider area and over a longer period than last year. According to a Washington dispatch, Swing appeared before the committee and on his presentation of the matter the added appropriation was made.

DOLAN, President J. W. WENTS, Vice President SHELL PEANUTS JUST BEFORE PLANTING Delay in planting peanuts after shelling the seed causes considerable loss in germination, it has been learned during the course of investigations conducted by the U. S. Dept. of Agr. The investigations involved tests of shelled and unshelled peanuts and the effect of the time of shelling on the germination of the seed. Peanuts planted after being shelled for different length of time showed great differences in germination. Those shelled 68 days before planting gave only 3.7 per cent germination and a yield of 3½ bushels per acre; planted 19 days after shelling, the germination was 78 per cent and the yield .41 1-3 bushels per acre; planted 1 day after shelling, the germination was 94 per cent and the yield 64 2-3 bushels per acre. A delay of even 9 days after shelling gave appreciably lower results than those obtained by immediate planting. The germination was only 85 per cent, as compared with 94 per cent when there was a delay of but one day after shelling. The yield in the last case was only 55 1-3 bushels per acre. Particular stress therefore has been laid by department specialists on the peanuts unshelled until just before the time they are to be planted. INDIANS MAY SHARE IN 100,000 MELON Plans are under way to cut another melon among the Indians of the Klamath Indian reservation. Over $100,000 will be distributed, giving every man, woman and child $80 each. The measure is being taken at this time to relieve financial stringency among the Indians, who have acquired patent rights and citizenship. There are approximately 250 heads of families on the reservation, about 150 of whom have acquired citizenship under the 1906 act of congress. The money comes from the sale of timber during the past season. The last distribution was made in August, when each Indian was given $150. For days after the event the streets of Klamath Falls were ablaze with new blankets and gaudy gowns.
