DAILY GREETING TO READERS Each must, in virtue, strive for to excel; The man lives twice, who lives the first life well. — HerrickThere seems to be some hope of obviating the threatened coal strike. It is to be noped that this hope may be realized. Speaking of President Harding's golf, reports indicate that to say that he plays a very good game would be stretching the truth rather painfully. The country's losses by fires which are preventable run to hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Co-operate in every way possible to prevent fires. It is shameful that the bonus question should be juggled politically in congress. It should be decided on its merits, without smearing politics over the decision. They started debating the tariff in congress back in George Washington's day. And they are at it yet. There will be tariff discussions so long as there are tariffs. No disabled world war veteran should be neglected or be permitted to suffer hardship and want. These gallant men should be provided for graciously and generously. Good citizenship, actively at work, impels one to register and to vote whenever the opportunity is presented. This is an important year in state and national politics. Qualify to vote! Damming of the Colorado river and conservation of its waters and development of electrical energy therefrom, as well as providing water for irrigation and preventing loss from floods, stand out in relief as among the greatest progressive achievements possible in the southwest. The Genoa conference savors too much of European politics. The Uni- PLAIN TALK ABOUT THE FOUR-POWER TREATY Whether the senate ever does so or not, the American people should get down to the real mean of the most important of the accomplishments of the Washington Arms conference—the Four-Power treaty which, when it is ratified, will automatically cancel the old Anglo-Jap alliance. Certain bigoted newspapers and senators attack the Four-Power pact as being more favorable to England than to this country. That's doubtful. But even if true it would be unimportant. In business, if opportunity should offer for "A" to make $100 and "B" $75, then "B" would be a fool if, through jealousy of "A" he refused to make anything for himself. And business and diplomacy aren't so far apart. The big question raised as a result of the arms conference is not between this country and England. It is between the white man's world, including chiefly America, England and France, and the yellow man's world, including chiefly Japan and China. The great war of the future, if there is to be one, must be between these two worlds. And from our point of view, anything that makes such a war more dangerous to the potential enemy, makes it more remote. The enemy, at any rate the Japs, are intelligent. As the nations lined up before the conference—as they will still line up if this conference treaty is not ratified—should a war have developed between this country and Japan, England's hands must at least have been tied. She had, for legitimate reasons of self defense, her Jap alliance. Without making herself notorious as a treaty breaker, she could not fail to live up to it. Now, when the Four-Power treaty is ratified, the three chief white nations are not bound to, but they will be free to act together against any yellow aggression. A virtue of the Four-Power pact, from the American point of view, is that while it cancels a real and binding military alliance—the Anglo-Jap PRECIPITATION The Forest State mountain region been sending iningly heavy snow in the National California the than was ever history of the sage.

This is an important year in state and national politics. Qualify to vote! Damming of the Colorado river and conservation of its waters and development of electrical energy therefrom, as well as providing water for irrigation and preventing loss from floods, stand out in relief as among the greatest progressive achievements possible in the southwest. The Genoa conference savors too much of European politics. The United States has no desire to meddle in politics on the other side of the Atlantic. If Europe desires this country's participation in its conferences, it must reduce them to economic terms and eliminate politics from them. The Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden West are doing handsomely in preserving the historic landmarks here in California. The old court house at Shasta, for example, has just been acquired by the Native Sons at nominal cost, to be held as an historic monument. It was built in 1865. More power to the fourpower treaty, as it is being assailed in the senate. To defeat its ratification would leave the United State deplorably menaced with war. To ratify it would remove the danger of warfare in the Pacific, it confidently is believed by those who formulated it and who favor its acceptance by the senate. California has become, as a state, a big figure in national politics. Its vote in 1916 turned the tide in the presidential election. In 1820 one of the great national political conventions was held in this state. The time is not far distant when California should furnish a president of the United States. The Pacific and Rocky Mountain West is becoming conscientious for strength and influence in national politics. Wonderful as has been California's development in horticulture, there is yet much room for profitable extension of the state's orchard acreage. California fruit, both citrus and deciduous, is noted, the world around, for its excellent quality. With the orchard area of the state greatly increased, there would be market for the greater yield of fruits. There are few regions on earth that are capable of producing the variety and the excellence of fruits that California does.

GIBBS LUMBER FULLERTON ANAHEIM Phone 201 PLACENTIA THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying PRECIPITATION AND PROSPERITY Sacramento Bee The Forest Service in all the high mountain regions of the State has been sending in reports of exceedingly heavy snowfall. It is said that in the National Forest Reserves in California the fall has been heavier than was ever before known in the history of the service. These reports, coupled with those of the United States Wenther Bureau, of deep and well-packed snow on the summits of the Sierra Nevada, give assurance of abundance of water in the rivers and streams next summer for navigation and irrigation. To a large extent, also, the heavy snows in the mountains promise a good supply of artesian water for wells in the foothills and valleys of the State, fed during the warm season by the melting snow and ice on the distant lofty ranges. Although the rainfall in the Sacramento Valley, so far this season, has not been quit up to the annual average, it has been so well distributed as to make crop prospects very good, and with the usual spring precipitation there is every reason to expect a most prosperous year for our farmers, stockmen and fruit growers. The popular impression has been from the superabundance of humidity, that the rainfall has been very great, but that is not the case. TALKING AS WASTING TIME New York Tribune Two women members of the city council of Three Oaks, Mich., have resigned their places because much time, they think, is wasted in the sessions of that August body. They prefer housework, where a body can get things done without unnecessary conversation. These women, being now in politics and belonging to the realistic sex, see conditions to which masculine old stagers have become blind. It has become an American habit to make social gatherings of legislative sessions — large and small. Even the greatest deliberate body in the world is not free from it. Time is consumed in public bodies by futile tongue wagging. Men with their vanity love to make speeches. Once started, they don't like to stop. And it is to be feared that the same yearning will fasten itself upon the other sex. However, these two women have at least started something. If their sisters generally will follow their example, and refuse to remain where the dispatch of business is shamelessly sacrificed to oratory, the benefits of universal suffrage will be even greater than the most ardent advocate of political equity could hope. Bootleg Greatest Cause of Blindness That filicit booze now being sold will be responsible for a large increase in the number of blind in Calif. League for the Conservation of Vision. The directors of the Calif. League are in communication with the optometrist and oculist members of the league to ascertain the number of known persons who have become permanently or partially blind from the use of illicit booze. "Returns that are in so far lead us to believe the total will be much larger for the permanently blind than we had anticipated," said Dr. Kinney. "We are already positive that if the 1920 there were $1,901 eye injuries in Calif. industries. The permanent eye injuries numbered 1,535 during the same period. The cost to the state, for the year 1921, for running the Adult Blind Institutions was $401.25 for each inmate. Looking at the matter from a purely mercenary standpoint, if the authorities do not make a determined effort to put a stop to this nefarious traffic the people of California must expect to pay a large increase in taxes for the maintenance of our blind institutions.

NORWALK NEWS NOTES PLAVAVILLE, Mar. 14—Talking of the bonus seems to be the order of the day. A sales tax to raise the money is condemned on all sides. Grandpa Whetson says he is working out a plan so that the bonus can be paid without the aid of taxes.

LET'S GO Let's take a little trip away From Gloomyville and its "ouches"; Come on, let's knock off for a day And turn from all the grouches; We'll choose the Cheerio Main Line, Which leads to Jubilation; The fare is cheap, the journey fine, There's hope at every station. Leave baggage such as fear and care And doubt behind, unheeded; You'll find, upon arriving there, That such stuff is not needed. Lock up the old shop, and forget The worries that oppress you; Come on, let's go; the signal's set; Of course you can, God bless you! Good cheer's the mark for every mile, The scenery is splendid; You'll find that you have learned to smile Before the journey's ended; No traveler will hear you sigh Beneath of sad mischances, And you will be encouraged by Good Fortune; friendly glances. Come on, let's go! Leave doubt behind Let fear be superseded By hope and faith, and you will find The change was what you needed. Lock up the dark old shop; turn spite And worry out; leave sorrow. And Gloomyville will be looking bright When you come back tomorrow. — S. E. Kiser.
