Night-dews fall not more gently to the ground, Nor weary, worn-out winds expire so soft! —Blair. Grit is the can-opener of opportunity. Honesty and faithfulness in all human relations are crowning virtues. Where on earth could a spot be found more ideal for owning a home than in California? In observing "Own Your Own Home" week, make the delightful decision to buy or build a home the year, in your favorite locality in this state. The heavy total of precipitation which California is receiving this winter is a great boon to the state. There should be no grumbling about inclement weather. For the rains and snows of this season are worth many millions of minted gold to the people of California. Should the "irreconcilables" in the Senate succeed in defeating the four-power Pacific treaty and other pacts reported by the Arms Conference, what substitutes will they give this Nation and the world? Up to this time nothing constructive even has been suggested by them. Do not give currency to rumors of a nature to hurt the community in which you live. Be a jealous guardian of community interests. Do not let any damaging, groundless report about your home locality go unchallenged. Contradict vigorously any and all untruthful, mischevious rumors. James J. Jeffries, former pugilistic champion, has signed up to fight CRIMES INCREASING TO AN AP-PALLING DEGREE That crime has increased and is increasing appallingly in the United States is the consensus of opinion among experts who have studied the subject exhaustively. A committee of the American Bar Association appointed to inquire into causes of the crime wave and to suggest a remedy, has found, in its investigations, that there has been and is an increase in the number and seriousness of crimes that should give the utmost concern to all good citizens. This committee finds, for example, that in the city of Cleveland crime has increased more than 200 per cent during the last four years. It was found, by the committee, that the arrest for crime in Chicago in one year exceed all arrests made in the whole of Great Britain—a sorry enough showing! In the one city—Chicago—there were 119 arrests for criminal assault in one year. The province of Quebec, which has about the same number of inhabitants as Chicago! has had but one arrest for criminal assault in sixty-five years! Could contrast be more striking or more shameful, so far as American cities are concerned? The asseration frequently heard, that crime is shockingly increasing, is no idle assertion. It is true. It is proven beyond doubt. And this reign of criminality will continue until some effective means is found to check it. Uncle Sam is gracious and considerate, as a rule. But when the poor taxpayer winces at the heavy burdens put upon him, the unrelenting uncle does not imitate the mother who compelled to spank her child, soothes the smarting body by saying: "It hurts me more than it does you!"

Jeffries, former pugilistic champion, has signed up to fight Satan or a knockout. Mr. Jeffries plans an evangelistic tour, to give his version of what the Bible means. Inasmuch as his father was a clergyman, his training in this should be helpful in his venture, "Billy," Sunday has sent him a characteristic note of approbation and advice. The United States cannot foster world peace if the Senate blocks and defends every treaty brought forward with the purpose, intent and effect of promoting tranquility among the nations. The Senate should co-operate in these things. It is hoped that it will show the spirit of co-operation by voting to ratify the treaties which were evolved by the Arms Conference. Uncle Sam is gracious and considerate, as a rule. But when the poor taxpayer winces at the heavy burdens put upon him, the unrelenting uncle does not imitate the mother who, compelled to spank her child, soothes the smarting body by saying: "It hurts me more than it does you!" The interests of labor and capital should be regarded as being identical and they twain should co-operate in friendly fashion and strive to be mutually helpful. With labor and capital at cross purposes and bitterly fighting each other, their interests are damaged, and the whole body politic suffers. President Harding has the faculty of getting a brief rest occasionally, even though official duties and cares pile about him, mountain-high. His short sojourn in Florida will fortify him for the trying weeks before him, what with several extremely important legislative subjects to be disposed of by Congress. As the years go by and the work and responsibility appertaining to the President increases, chief magistrates of the Nation must take frequent breathing spells away from the White House, else the burdens would be killing.

Forty-three per cent of Germany's co-operative societies are agencies for giving farmers longtime loans at low rates. This is bringing "reconstruction" down to fundamentals. So goes farm prosperity, so goes national prosperity. THE BURNT CHILD Rep. Riddick: If I should come up to New York tomorrow and tell you that I was representing the department down here, and asked you to spend $2,000,000, would you do it? Mr. De Ronde (member of firm claiming damages because of sugar purchased in Argentina at request of department of justice to break price of sugar during the war, and which they were compelled to sell at a loss because of falling market). No, sir; not now. (Before house committee on agriculture.) Jack Dempsey is getting $14,000 a week in vaudeville in New York. As Charlie Schwab said, "It's the brains that count." Jack hires the brains to count it for him. The British are a strange people. They made almost as much fuss over Mary Pickford. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying IMMIGRANTS AND CITIZENSHIP—New York Evening Post So common is the assumption that the "new" immigration is tardier in seeking citizenship than the "old" that John P. Gavit's demonstration of its fallacy in the Survey merits wide attention. He shows that the Washington statistics regarding citizenship of the foreign-born are worthless as a basis for estimating assimilability, since they make no allowance for the fact that a majority of the "old" stocks have been here many years, a majority of the "new" stocks but a few years. Going to the records of twenty-eight typical courts in nine cities the country over, he finds a true basis in 28,284 petitions for naturalization filed in the fiscal year 1913-14. These show that the proportion of petitioners for naturalization among the "new" stocks is higher (except for the Italians) than the proportion they represent in the total unnatural foreign-born population. That is, in these mile cities the unnaturalized adult male Hungarians are 7.1 per cent of the whole number of such unnaturalized foreign-born. But the Hungarians who in the fiscal year named applied for citizenship are 9.3 per cent of the whole number of applications.

A willingness to pitch in and finish the job is the highest recommendation a man can have. Democracy having been saved, nobody seems to know what to do with it. Some good advice: Consider carefully what should be done, and then do it. The Wild West of the William S. Hart motion picture delineation is fast passing—indeed, is well past, in the main. Mr. Hart is a student of the romantic and picturesque period which he depicts and his pictures are faithful mirrorings of the frontier days which are passing forever.

"USURP" An opponent of the prohibition law said recently, in a public utterance, that "it will never be enforced, because it usurps the rights of everyone." Whatever may be thought of the speaker's views on the question of prohibition, there can be no doubt that his use of the word "usurp" was incorrect. To "usurp" means, according to the dictionary, "to seize and hold in possession by force, or without right; applied only to seizure of office, place, functions, powers, rights, etc., as to usurp a throne." The proper word to use is violate or infringe upon. Thus we may say that a law, the act of a person, etc., violates the rights of another or of the public, or infringes upon the rights, but we should not say that it "usurps" the rights.

LINCOLN'S APPEAL FOR LOYALTY Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wishes to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution never to violate in the least particular the laws of the country, and never to tolerate their violation by others. As he patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and laws let every American pledge his life, his property and his sacred honor. Let every man remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and his children's liberty. Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in THE OCEAN Do you hear the sounding, The innumerable sounding, Of the ocean pounding On the shore. He is beating out the hours, He is weaving leaves and flowers. He is building colored skies, And creating souls and eyes. He is heaping hills and mountains, He is blowing bubbling fountains. Do you hear the sounding The innumerable sounding Of the ocean pounding On the shore? Snow and hail and rain of spring He is making everything. Not a moment's rest has he, He must work eternally. Pounding billows, breaking waves, He is making all men's graves. —Oscar Williams. EVOCATION Oh be not satisfied, My Soul, With petty victories, With what the world calls triumph! Let that alone suffice Thee Which is builted in The Substance Of Eternal Verity! Thy task is not another's, Nor is another's Thine, In spirit Thou canst not a lender, Or a borrower be. Hold Thou Thy Place. And let The Son of Love Shine through Thy Face! Let never any thought of hate Disturb Thee. Give Thou Thy Gift, And give it joyfully, And Youth and Spring Shall lengthen to Eternity. —Josephine Day Nye. TAKE INSECT POWDER WHEN THEY TRAVEL A traveler on an Italian railway, alter he had passed an uncomfortable night due to the many insects in the coach, complained to a high railway official about the condition of the train. The official answered him as follows: "The Italian public expects too much of the Government. Every traveler should take some insect powder with him and squirt it over the seats before he sits down." and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and laws let every American pledge his life, his property and his sacred honor. Let every man remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and his children's liberty. Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books and almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in the legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.—From address to Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Ill., January 27, 1837, when Lincoln was twenty-seven years of age. The "wild and woolly" West is no more, except on the stage and in films. The old, thrilling, daredevil rough-riding, hair-raising shooting days are gone forever. It was a picturesque era. But it faded away before the rising tide of immigration and the instituting of law, order and refined society.

The official answered him as follows: "The Italian public expects too much of the Government. Every traveler should take some insect powder with him and squirt it over the seats before he sits down. But there are other reasons why we can't get our trains clean." "The men whose business it is to do so say they won't clean out first and second class railway coaches because the middle classes travel in them. A political question, my dear friend. The other day some cleaners left a first-class carriage dirty and the Inspector, disgusted, fined the guilty men three days' pay. What happened? All the cleaners kicked up such a fuss that we had bad chicks except to remit the fines; otherwise there would have been a general strike on the railway."
