Barton. It will be a long, long time before this country is built up to its housing needs. The taxpayer welcomes relief as the parched earth welcomes a refreshing shower. Indiana has fired a political broadcast that is reverberating throughout the land. When farmers thrive, pessimists have very little left about which to complain. California is faring well, economically, with very bright prospects for the entire year. There did not seem to be much New in the Senatorial primary election returns from Indiana. That Indiana Senatorial primary has given official Washington something about which to think. Honor and revere the mothers of the land, not only on Mothers' Day, but on other days of the year. Pure homes presided over by pure, sweet mothers are the greatest blessings this country has. The cost of living has increased 4.2 per cent since the first of the year. Tell it to her, boy, and con- SENATE TARIFF DELAY SUBJECT OF JOKE The Senate dallies with the tariff, regardless of the effect this dalliance may have upon business and industry. Smarting under the procrastinating methods of the Senate, Senator McCumber, who is in charge of the tariff measure, indulged in some good-natured spoofing about it. He estimated that at the present rate of progress, the tariff bill would be passed on September 19, 1946. This expert estimate is based on the fact that just two of the more than 2,000 amendments to the measure have been acted upon in thirteen days. Mr. Cumber remarked that "after listening to the debate today, I think we will have to add thirty or forty years more to that estimate." He said that the tariff has not been discussed one-fifth of the time it has been before the Senate, and added: "We have all gone off on extraneous matters. Unless we get down to the bill itself, I'll tell what will happen. You will get tired of hearing your own voices and before you have considered one-third of the bill you will be ready to swallow all of it." This is a shameful situation. It frequently recurs to the Senate. There is no excuse for it. One of the reforms sorely needed at Washington is to shake the Senate out of its torpor and its dilatoriness. It fritters away time on unimportant measures, heedless of the depressing, demoralizing effect this procedure may have upon the economic life of the Nation. WOMEN GREAT FACTOR IN PRIMARIES That Indiana Senatorial primary has given official Washington something about which to think. Honor and revere the mothers of the land, not only on Mothers' Day, but on other days of the year. Pure homes presided over by pure, sweet mothers are the greatest blessings this country has. The cost of living has increased 4.2 per cent since the first of the year. Tell it to her, boy, and convince her that the wedding should be delayed later than June! The man or the woman who serves mankind well in peace should be extolled. Plaudits should not be reserved for those who become powerful through destructive processes, or who subvert the liberties of their fellow-beings. Clearing up premises is in order. It improves sightliness, and it enhances safety. A little tidying up may prevent a disastrous conflagration. As the dry season comes on, it would be well for all property owners and all who are in charge of premises to get busy in this cleaning process. WAR MAY NATIONALIZE CHINA SOON Nationalism in China is bound to be accentuated because of the present civil war, in the opinion of Dr. Alfred Sze, China's minister to the United States. The present fighting is limited to a comparatively small area. It should end soon, says Dr. Sze. And the net result should be to draw the clashing elements and the dissevered sections of China more closely together, with an intensified spirit of nationalism. China, united, and progressive in spirit and purpose, would be happier, more prosperous and would become modernized more rapidly. The whole world has interest in the welfare of that ancient land. It is one of the most promising regions of the earth for commercial intercourse. Motives of self-interest, therefore, should prompt all countries to exert influence, for the pacification, unification and progress of China. WOMEN GREAT FACTOR IN PRIMARYS Women are voting this year for the first time in several states for the nomination for United States Senatorships. In Indiana, women were the source of mystery in the Senatorial primary up to the last moment—in deed, it is not known even now how much they had to do with the success of Mr. Bewridge and the defeat of Senator New. The Michigan Senatorial primary also is dependent, in large measure, upon the way the women vote. All factions naturally are making a strong effort to get this support. It has been demonstrated that women cannot be programmed in politics; that they vote as independently, even then new in politics, as do men, perhaps more so. It is evident that women are reading and thinking and fortifying themselves in every way to vote intelligently, and that they are making good use of their enlightenment. In a word, enfranchisement of women has given the good results expected by the proponents of equal suffrage without the ill effects which opponents of suffrage prophesied. This is gratifying, but not surprising. There never has been valid reason for feeling that women would not be a wholesome force in politics, from the very inception of their enfranchised experience. Patriotism carries the Fourth of July spirit into every day in the year. By the Fourth of July spirit is meant intense and unswerving loyalty to the Nation, its laws, institutions, Constitution and ideals. He is not a good patriot who would trample under foot the Constitution and laws of the land. Why Crime Is Rampant in California By Charles H. Randall, Prohibition Congressman, 1915-1921 The liquor press all over the world has been supplied with paragraphs declaring that "Prohibition has led to an enormous increase in crime. This statement is absolutely false. Under prohibition hundreds of jails and workhouses all over the United States have been closed. The following was officially stated in November 1921:—"The Cameden county workhouse and a number of county rectory is closed; the Lowell, Taunton, Newburyport and Fitchburg (Massachusetts) county jails are closed; the Covington (Kentucky) jail is closed; the Douglas county (Minnesota) workhouse is closed; Winnebago county (Wisconsin) workhouse closed. This result has come about no doubt thru the lessened use of liquor, and despite the fact that a crime wave is sweeping the entire world as an aftermath of the great war.

Randall, Prohibition Congressman, 1915-1921 The liquor press all over the world has been supplied with paragraphs declaring that "Prohibition has led to an enormous increase in crime. This statement is absolutely false. Under prohibition hundreds of jails and workhouses all over the United States have been closed. The following was officially stated in November 1921:—"The Cameden county workhouse and a number of county jails in New Jersey are practically empty. In Ohio the Columbus workhouse is closed; two-thirds of the Cincinnati workhouse is closed, the Norwalk jail is closed and the jail population throughout the state of Ohio is greatly reduced; the Birmingham (Alabama) county jail is closed; the Allegheny county jail is almost empty; the Fond du Las (Wisconsin) county workhouse is closed; the Peoria (Illinois) workhouse is closed; the Schley County (Georgia) jail is closed; the Rockport (Missouri) jail is closed; the Dwight (Illinois) Keeley cure is closed; the Ipswich (Massachusetts) house of correction is closed; the Lowell, Taunton, Newburyport and Fitchburg (Massachusetts) county jails are closed; the Covington (Kentucky) jail is closed; the Douglas county (Minnesota) workhouse is closed; Winnebago county (Wisconsin) workhouse closed. This result has come about no doubt thru the lessened use of liquor, and despite the fact that a crime wave is sweeping the entire world as an aftermath of the great war. Conditions in the great cities and in California are due in the first instance to the crime wave, and in California to the fact that the state has no law or machinery with which to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment. The rejection of such a law two years ago amounted to an invitation to the criminal class to come here to ply their trade. There is no doubt that they accepted the invitation. This state can redeem itself this year by adopting the Wright Prohibition Enforcement Act, or it may reject it and thus invite additional thousands of burglars and other criminals to migrate here.

OSBORNE Pue Anaheim 344WK Phone Fullerton 254 THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying AMERICAN STANDARDS LIVE—(The Manufacturer) The Ladies' Home Journal has an able editorial entitled "Quicksands of Filth," that will find a hearty response in every American home. It shows that dirty plays, dirty movies and dirty books have not done well, and that the public still demands what is clean and wholesome. The big theatrical successes of the season are plays that the most exacting parents would not hesitate to take their children to see. Movies that are sufficiently clean to pass any blue law censorship draw the biggest houses and are brought back to be run over and over. Plays that omitted to emphasize and play up any degenerate or morbid sex motives, and show homely American virtues on the screen get houses. Clean stuff in the legitimate drama and on the screen that is hugely successful is distinctively American and bears no foreign label or taint. The reeking orientalism that has been made such a feature of the sensation movies, and that is dragged into so many of them, is worn stiff. The caterers to American audiences might as well understand that control and direction of American entertainment is not going back to paganism. The average American home still pays its respects to all the decencies and old-fashioned standards of purity vital to honest men and women. We may love a little jazz and rough stuff at times for breaking the monotony of life but for a steady diet Americans are distinctly anti-jazz. Theaters, publishers and film manufacturers might as well understand this ard are learning it through their pocketbooks, a thrilling education.

The only reliable sign of better times is the sign, "Help Wanted." THIS IS THE BERRIES Drunkards and fishermen, either separately or in combination, will understand the rejoicing from India over a big crop of fish-berries. The fish-berry, known to science as "occeculus indicus," is about half an inch long. Its poisonous or narcotic principle is picrotoxin. Hindus throw fish-berries into rivers, fish eat them get drunk and are picked up from boats as they float on the surface. Any angler who can beat that for a fish story, come forward.

So books, plays, movies and a certain type of periodicals have been manufacturing along profiteering lines that are happily going bankrupt. There will always be people with easy money and curiosity to make a brief golden harvest for the caterers to various forms of degeneracy. The American people could deport shiploads of this stuff and not suffer any necessary enjoyment, and cutting their cash to the bone will start them. Publicity will cut the flood of profits from their rotten plays and their rotten books and their rotten movies says the Ladies' Home Journal. The blood of our country is not yet continentalized—it is still substantially American and we have no palates for further displays of fetid orientalisms. The breath of new mown hay from the farms sweeps into our towns and cities, and is preferable to French perfumes and our simple old-fashlored Colonial decorations are more beautiful than brothel interiors.
