DAILY GREETING TO READERS How far the little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. Shakespeare. Sovietism promised to better Russia. It has blighted it. American diplomacy is open-faced rather than two-faced. Taxing a bachelor is double punishment. He has punishment enough in being a bachelor. California is not over-built. There is demand for all the dwellings that are being constructed and being projected. Congress should deal fairly with World War veterans as to bonus, and should not juggle the bonus question in politics. If what the soviet regime has done for Russia is what soviet propaganda would do for the world, then God save the world! Should those arms conference treaties be defeated in the senate, a terrible responsibility will rest upon those who encompass their defeat. Pardon or parole, easily obtained, encourages many a person criminally inclined to break into crime. No encouragement should be given criminality. Irreligiousness is the greatest course curse that could come to the American people. So long as they continue to be God-fearing, Americans will not become a weak decadent people. The work of the arms conference should not be permitted to be overthrown or rejected. The senate IMPARTIAL TRIBUTES TO GREAT AMERICANS The American people are getting away from the narrow partisanship that once was too prevalent in this country. It is common now to show honor to great Americans, living and dead, of all political faiths, with adherents of all political parties joining in the tributes. It has come to pass that Democrats readily join in lauding the virtues and sturdy Americanism of William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, just as Republicans pay tribute to the rugged Americanism of Grover Cleveland and the lofty ideals of Woodrow Wilson. This spirit should be fostered. Partisanship should not be blinding, narrowing or prejudicing. One may be just as good and loyal a Democrat by recognizing and enolizing the virtues of William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt as though these tributes were confined to Thomas Jefferson or Andrew Jackson. And one may be just as consistent and sound a Republican by taking cognizance of the splendid qualities and statesmanly services of Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson, as though one confined one's panegyrics to Abraham Lincoln, John Sherman, James G. Blaley, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, and other great Republicans. They all are to be considered as great and useful Americans—and it is their greatness and their Americanism, rather than their political party affiliations, which should be cherished in the memory of all true Americans, irrespective of party connections. CRITICISE 1920 CENSUS AS IMPERFECT The 1920 census is sharply criticized by many in high places, among the number being Herbert C. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce. So strong is the feeling that the 1920 Pardon or parole, easily obtained, encourages many a person criminally inclined to break into crime. No encouragement should be given criminality. Irreligiousness is the greatest course curse that could come to the American people. So long as they continue to be God-fearing, Americans will not become a weak decadent people. The work of the arms conference should not be permitted to be overthrown or rejected. The senate should co-operate constructive in this, rather than to oppose obstructively. William F. McAdoo has come to California to live, despite the fact that there seldom are electrical storms here. But the presidential lightning strikes but once in four years, anyway. Mr. McAdoo has come to California to reside permanently. But he would not be averse to living in a certain mansion on Pennsylvania-ave, Washington, D.C., for four or eight years. Men of the type of Luther Burbank and Thomas A. Edison defy the ravages of time, so far as it is humanly possible to do so. Both are beyond the three-score age, and yet they work vigorously and to good purpose. Mr. Harding has been in the White House one year—long enough to learn that the very senate of which he once was proud to be a member, sometimes makes the path of the president as rough as possible. The suicide takes the issue of life and death out of God's hands. This is wrong. The brave and proper thing is to live until Providence sends the death messenger. Live through troubles and sorrows, it may be—but courageously enduring all, to the end. Many a criminal can look back to his boyhood and recall that neither his parents nor his teachers gave him the wholesome moral training that he should have. Many a boy could be saved from a life of crime and shame by being trained judiciously as to morals. CRITICISE 1920 CENSUS AS IMPERFECT The 1920 census is sharply criticized by many in high places, among the number being Herbert C. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce. So strong is the feeling that the 1920 count of population is inaccurate, the House Census Committee is contemplating enacting legislation providing for another census in 1925 or in some year before the next decennial census of 1930. This proposed legislation has the approval of Mr. Hoover. The 1920 census, it is claimed, does not show properly the distribution of population as between cities and rural regions. This has had effect upon apportionment of representatives in Congress. No census is of value unless it be accurate. Inaccuracies not only are annoying but, in some instances, might be positively damaging. It is especially important that census figures be reliable as they affect Congressional apportionments. Otherwise political injustices might be worked against large numbers of the population. Democracy having been saved by the war, suppose we see what can be done for civilization. Revival of the old-fashioned custom by parents of spanking incorrigible boys, would save many a youngster from a life of crime and vice. There are times when a wilful boy, inclined to go wrong, can be aided greatly by a vigorous "laying on of hands" by pater or mater. One of the sources of pleasure and interest on outings here in California is the kodak. This state is a kodaking paradise for those who are camera enthusiasts. Collections of pictures taken on various tours, become of great interest and a source of much gratification in recalling experiences, for the years go by.

Store Hours, Except Sunday Special Appointment 8 to 12—1 to 5:30 By Request NEW YORK March 13.—One hundred thousand New Yorkers are said to be victims of fake and wild cat stock brokers here. So great has become the number of complaints against them since an investigation was started that two juries have been put to work on the job of getting at the real extent of criminality involved. There used to be a song to the effect that real "society" never had any fun. Everything was supposed to be so formal, so "correct" that it was rather stupid in those domains. As a matter of fact, the "society" in question is never afraid to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by institutions erected for the great general public which offer advantages for good times. For instance, one of the successful affairs of the season in New York was the private skating carnival given the other day by the Irving Brokaws at the Hippodrome. All the members of the Smart Set who go in for sports were on hand to celebrate the event and the vast Hippodrome stage saw some skating as expert if not as fancy as professionals had ever achieved upon it. Reginald Vanderbilt was one of the stars in cutting pigeon wings and Mrs. Biddle-Duke was another. There were rumors that Lord Burghersh would give an exhibition of skating, but this did not materialize. Two days have been cut from the running time between Genoa and New York with the launching of the new steamer, Conte Rosso. It is the greatest liner in the Mediterranean service and makes 20 knots an hour. Next to her speed and size, one of the interesting features of the new liner is the way in which dangers of mal de mer have been minimized. The kitchens have been placed on the upper deck and this one change in arrangement is said to have accomplished wonders toward doing away with the curse of seasickness, as the living quarters of the ship are Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying FORCING WOMEN TO WORK St. Louis Post-Dispatch The Bulgarian peasant government is visiting a blessing in disguise upon its idle women in the form of a compulsory labor law. The premier argues that peasant women, aside from rearing families, do as much or more essential labor than the men. The "town lady," on the other hand, "walks and chats and does not give birth to children. We must at least compete her to labor for the state." Nothing can be said for this order in principle but that it is slavery and impossible under a democracy. But whether the state profits by it or not, the women, we dare say, will. They will be relieved of the ever-harassing burden of idle hands and idle minds. A thousand aches and apprehensions will disappear in the soothing solvent of industry. Shapless figures will become shapely and fatty minds will take on unwonted agility. The Bulgarian state is going to make life wholesome for its idle women, and after they have found their strength under the driving impetus of work they will be in a position, if they so desire, to make it warm for the state.

TRUCK DORS'T PAY SHARE World's Work "The truck is not bearing its share of the upkeep of the public highways which it uses. It therefore has an advantage over the railroad, which must buy and maintain its own right of way, and pay taxes in addition. The public must decide whether it will continue to pay taxes for rebuilding the roads which the motor truck is a principal factor in destroying, or whether it will make this new method of transportation stand its proper share of the cost of highways and thus place the competition with railroads on a fairer basis. Then both these methods of transportation would develop along sound economic lines. The country needs both railroad and motor truck transportation and to permit one, by an unfair advantage, to check the growth of the other, would be short-sighted policy. Income Tax Facts Taxpayers have but a few days in which to file their income tax returns for the calendar year 1921. To avoid penalty, the return, accompanied by at least one quarter of the tax, must be in the hands of the collector of internal revenue or a deputy collector on or before midnight of March 15th, 1922. Returns may be mailed or filed in person at the office of the collector, Los Angeles, or the branch office at Santa Ana. Payment may be made by check, money order or in cash. If made at a branch office, payment should be by money order or check, to avoid danger of loss in transmission to the office of the collector. Where in exceptional cases such as illness or absence, a taxpayer is unable to make a return within the time prescribed, an extension of not exceed 30 days may be obtained upon application to the collector. Such extensions will be granted only when in the judgment of the collector, further time is actually required for the making of an accurate return. Application for such exten- Two days have been cut from the running time between Genoa and New York with the launching of the new steamer, Conte Rosso.

Galina Kopernak, the Russian actress who made her American debut in "Montmarte" at the Belmont Theatre the other night, is a worthy successor to Nazimova. She has the subtlety and dramatic force of that actress and in addition an unusual beauty, which the other never could claim. "Montmarte" is gorgeously staged and populously cast. Some fifty actors are employed, most of them with speaking parts. Galina Kopernak gives a poignant vitality to the role of Marie-Clairo who surrenders to the call of excitement rather than of love. One of the Dickens curios sold at the Anderson Galleries the other day in the collection of William Glyde Wilkins of Pittsburgh, was a letter urging writers to protect their works by international copyright. It was dated April 27, 1848. Appropriately enough, it was bought by a publisher — William Randolph Hearst—for $390. In an effort to prevent the commercializing of the dog-show bench, the American Kennel club has adopted a rule which is liable to lead to difficulties. The rule would debar all persons who ever sell dogs from acting as judges. This would include practically every amateur breeder, such as Mrs. Payne Whitney, Mrs. Haley Fiske and others, who occasionally buy a dog and sell it at some later time.

Randall, Prohibition Congressman, 1915-1921 Prohibition is growing rapidly in this country, in spite of the stupendous efforts to make it appear that an uprising against the Volstead Act and the Eighteenth Amendment exists. Newspaper propaganda by the thirty national wet organizations is almost powerful enough to daze any readers of the dailies from metropolitan cities. But the shallowness of their claims is well illustrated by the action of the New Jersey legislature last week in ratifying the Eighteenth Amendment. New Jersey persisted that she would have nothing to do with prohibition, state or national. Her governor declared he would keep the state as wet as the Atlantic Ocean, and he was overwhelmingly elected on that issue, and mind you, this occurred after the Eighteenth Amendment became the law of the land. New Jersey's legislature at his behest passed a law making legal beer of 3.50 per cent alcohol, but of course the courts threw it into the waste basket. But now after two years of national prohibition, the wettest state in the Union, harrassed as it is about one-fourth the size of Los Angeles county. Rhode Island declined to adopt a state constitution but existed under a charter until 1842, granted by King Charles the Second. In that year a man named Thomas W. Dorr organized a revolution, secured a state constitution, and was sent to prison for treason by Rhode Island before it became effective.
