T. Watson The people should be their own political bosses. Safeguard the child against vicious associations. General Obregon is making a great success as president of Mexico. True patriotism, like true religion, is not put on and off like a garment. It is not enough to promise clean pictures. They should be made clean. Introduce rowdyism into popular sports, and they no longer will be popular. China has a so-called civil war. But it more properly should be cali-ced an uncivil war. California is among the leading states in the grand march of economic progress. Cheer up; watermelons soon will be ripe and at their best. Of course life is worth living.

The career of Mr. Croker was picturesque, in that he rose from a poor immigrant boy, without much education, to be one of the most powerful political figures in America. While one may admire the skill and energy that lifts a poor man to influence, yet the kind of career lee by Mr. Croker is to be depreciated and deplored. But it is not Richard Croker, the man, who should be condemned so much as it is that system and condition in American politics which has made obnoxious bossism possible. Richard Croker was a powerful boss, toying with governorships and the Presidency, only because the people permitted him to be. The people would not have bosses if they did not tolerate them. There has been political bossism because of the suffrance of the people. There will be no bosses and no bossism when the people assume and sustain controlling interest in their political affairs. There never again should be another Richard Croker in American politics. There should be no Tam-many Hall organization such as existed when Richard Croker was its head. The people have it within their power to smash these political machines. If they do not do so, the fault—or default—lies with them. PROVINCIAL SPIRIT IS PASSING AWAY Significant is the fact that 1,250,000 organized farmers of the United States are backing strongly proposed legislation by congress providing federal aid for American shipping. The American farmer is not so provincial as he once was. Time was when ship subsidy was anathema to the former. He lived far from the sea—why Building the Panama Canal and buying Alaska were two investments about the best the United States ever made. The paramount issue with some political candidates is to get elected without being particular as to the methods. The tariff bill pending in Congress is like those which have preceded it, in this: Its friends profess to believe it is excellent; its foes profess to believe that it is an atrocity. A device has been tried out for recording the time consumed in telephone conversation, and it is proposed to charge users according to the time they take up in talking. Should this become effective, there is a woman over in the next county who would go bankrupt. Those foreigners in the United States who do not like the government and institutions of this country, are not compelled to stay here. If they are inclined toward violence against this government, their leaving this country, may pronto, would be welcomed by the government and all true Americans. Phenomenal commercial expansion in the Pacific is in the offing. California is the great portal for this swelling tide of overseas and coastwise trade. The ports of this state are sure to develop stupendously as this growth of commerce becomes more and more pronounced. And as port cities prosper, so will the cities and rural districts of the hinterland. Industries will thrive and business will be at high tide. PROVINCIAL SPIRIT IS PASSING AWAY Significant is the fact that 1,250,000 organized farmers of the United States are backing strongly proposed legislation by congress providing federal aid for American shipping. The American farmer is not so provincial as he once was. Time was when ship subsidy was anathema to the former. He lived far from the sea—why should he have any interest in shipping But the World War taught the formers, as well as others, some severe lessons. When shipping declined and a paralysis in export commerce resulted, a great part of the grain, cotton, meat products, lumber, copper and manufactured goods of America could not be exported, and the commodities which were sent abroad had to pay extortionate shipping charges because of the scarcity of ships under American control. That taught the American farmer to come out of his provincial shell—to realize that shipping means a vast deal to him and to his interests. Provincialism had many a hard blow during the World War period. One section of this country learned to value the co-operation of another section; the cities learned to prize more highly the farmer and his part in the general economy, and the farmer had impressed upon him his dependence upon the cities as chief market for his products; and so the broadening influence went on, and still goes on. Some employ language to express ideas, while others use it to make a noise with. DANZ PIANO CO.

BROWNE, G.A. 419 Bush St. Santa Ana California Telephone 1877 THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying "CURES" THAT DO NOT CURE—Sacramento Eee The death in a Stockton hospital of an unfortunate man, who believed himself "cured" at one of the local meetings of Mrs. Almee Semple McPherson, is only one of several recorded past few weeks. But each and all of them constitute a pathetic human document in which tragedy has been wrought out in human tears and pain. This tragedy has not alone been physical but also spiritual and mental; for no disappointment touches a more anguishing note than the disappointment of faith, a broken belief in Divine promises. Those, who have died, are only a few out of the great throng of suffering men and women, whose desire to become well and strong and to know the joy of physical well-being is taken advantage of by people the type of Mrs. McPherson. Just how intense that desire cannot be appreciated except by those who has suffered from some alma or disease through a long course of years. Such are like the drowning man who will grasp at any straw when promises to take him to the shore. When with this desire there is a strong religious nature, exploitation becomes a simple matter. To think that the scores and hreds of hail, lame and blind, we have been attracted by this woman claims into hoping when really there is no hope, is to draw a pitiful picture.

NEW YORK, May 4.—The oldest horse that ever lived—since the days of the dinosaurus, at any rate, will be one of the exhibits at the New York fashion and beauty bazaar held here in May. It is Clover, owned by Dr. U. Myers, at Catawissa, Pa., Dr. Myers says Clover is 51 years old, which is decidedly advanced aged for a horse, and veterinarians who have recently examined the animal bear out the statement. The horse was bred in old Kentucky, of course, and has been owned by Dr. Myers for 35 years. For five years he was on the race track, and was said to have a record of 2:17. The secret of his long life is accredited to the fact that he has retained his teeth all of these years. Speaking of beauty shows, when New York women went in for deep tan face powder a season or so ago, to give a definite olive-bronze tinge to their skin, we thought they were being rather extreme. But the next step has arrived. Baths strongly tinctured with henna dye are the latest fad for obtaining a true oriental she was an adventurous of sorts kind or she wouldn't have been down among the shaw' covered sengers in that stunning leopard coat And after she finally got in, she to spend 23 hours out of every 24 plaining all over again, to report to citizens' delegations of interest people, to all sorts of questioners why she did it; to say nothing the commotion her trip caused during the voyage. Her status gave grave concern to the ship's officer but there seemed no way to prevent a woman's travelling steerage if it insisted upon it—even in a leopard coat.

Ain't he the wicked old boy? The golden poppy is God's gold. The gold that lifts nor weighs us down— The gold that knows no miser's hold, The gold that banks not in the town.

Speaking of beauty shows, when New York women went in for deep tan face powder a season or so ago, to give a definite olive-brunette tinge to their skin, we thought they were being rather extreme. But the next step has arrived. Baths strongly tinctured with henna dye are the latest fad for obtaining a true oriental shade. It may be the oriental mode in costumes or it may just be another whim of restlessness that is responsible. Anyway, harem veils will look quite appropriate this summer if the fad gained foothold. And earrings may grow even longer and with larger hoops, if such a thing is possible. They welcome Art across every sort of threshold in Greenwich Village. One shoeshine shop is making a speciality of a new artist's splashy drawings, and Vito, the Christopher-barber, has filled every niche and shelf of his clean white walls with drawings, statuettes, and water colors. Everybody benefits, says Vito. He gleans greater patronage and is hallmarked as a comsoisseur of art; the customers have a better time during their ordents; and the artists sell many a sketch and plaster cast during the day. In "The Shadow," the Eden Phillipott's play which has just opened at the Klaw Theatre, we have a new sort of murdered. He is lighthearted, mirthful, likeable, and he returns to his home village after the murder with a smile on his lips. After all, it was the village skinflint he killed, a cruel man, and the bane of the neighborhood. It is an interesting play, particularly well-acted by Percy Waram, as Philip Blanchard who killed the skinflint; Noel Leslie as Elias Waycott, a meek, shy person, accused of the murder, and Helen MacKellar, the woman loved by both of them. One of the most interesting churches in this city is St Anne's, in 1493st., the church for deaf mutes. It was founded in 1852 by a son of the Rev. Thomas Gaudetau, the pioneer in work among the deaf in America. There are 450 names on the church rolls, but those members are scattered over a territory of a hundred miles because it is one of three Episcopal churches in the country. The congregation usually consists of 40 or 50. The most "different" detail of the church is in the lighting of the rostrum. Illuminating engineers have provided a flod of natural and artificial light from a dome over the pulpit and altar, insuring that no gesture of the rector's hands may be missed by the audience.

Because its beauty lifted up far. I cannot reach; a strong invisible bar Shuts out the earthly one from high place. I worship from afar its infinity grace. And when life's petty cares spirits jar.

And that fair star, whose name Truth, shall be My guide and comrade through eternity. —Eben Jenks Loom CHALDEAN SONG Low to the river's pitch I tune lyre And sing the fire Of man's brief dream, his ultimate desire Past dross and dust and tears. Since petals fall, birds fail in most flight. Kings vanish in a night; Thou, too, must pass, O Smerdis, delight! To future avatars. Let there be wine and roses nd day, O Smerdis!

Not long ago an up-state paper contained this remarkable paragraph in a marriage announcement: "Folks here were surprised to hear of this wedding. He always had been regarded as one of the finest young men in this section." Estelle Winwood in musical comedy is the latest turn of the wheel of Broadway. After learning to know her in such dramas as "The Circle" and "Mme. Pierre," it is going to take some readjustment of our minds to get accustomed to this other idea. But we have to do it. In May, she will appear with Ethel Levey (the former Mrs. George Cohan) in "Go Easy, Mabel," at the Longacre Theatre. The Countess Christine Rosenkrans of Denmark has discovered that it is difficult to do anything out of the ordinary, if one happens to be countless, and not have it prove quite inconvenient.

Therefore, in the harder soil the 5½-inch length is proper.
