DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Seek to be good, but aim not to be great; A woman's noblest station is retreat; Her inert virtues fly from public sight, Domestic worth, that shuns too strong a light. —Lord Lytton. Be careful with fire! The "sweat shop" should be abolished in America. One's political views and actions should be governed by reason of open-minded conviction, rather than by passion or prejudice. The newspaper press should print nothing, as news or miscellany, which would have a tendency to demoralize or to corrupt any class of readers. Every state in the Union should enact vigorous laws against the "sweat shop" and child labor in mills and mines. This evil should be throttled. Peaceful arbitration of differences is the wise and wholesome way to settle international troubles. Nations usually can find a way out of warfare if they desire honestly to do so. The distress that sovietism has brought and is bringing upon Russia never can be measured. It is difficult to discern wherein the Russians have been gainers by going from Czarism to sovietism. California has several important orchard, farm and mineral products where it is grown. RATHER TEACH THAN BE U. OF C. PRESIDENT The teaching profession has been given a very notable testimonial as to its dignity and importance by the statement of Dr. David W. Barrows, in presenting his recognition from the presidency of the University of California, Dr. Barrows says that his reason "for asking this relief is my preference for the activities and freedom of a university teacher rather than for the responsibilities of an executive head of a university." Dr. Barrows, upon relinquishing the presidency of the university, asks to be permitted to return to the exclusive status of professor of political science. This attests, very eloquently, the esteem in which the profession of the teacher is held by this distinguished educator. That men of such scholarly attainments and such eminent station as Dr. Barrows should thus testify to the dignity, nobility and desirableness of the work of higher instruction, should be exceedingly gratifying and enheartening to all who teach. The proffend resignation of Dr. Barrows came as a great surprise and the university regents expressed deep regret, although the resignation was accepted. Dr. Barrows recently has been mentioned in connection with the race for nomination for United States Senator, but whether or not he would consider entering actively into politics has not been disclosed directly by Dr. Barrows himself. HEROISM OF ENGINEER IS INSPIRING Just another of those frequent examples of manly bravery and self-sacrifice found among plain, everyday matter-of-fact men. His name is Michael Ryan, aged 32, a steam-powered aircraft engineer. Peaceful arbitration of differences is the wise and wholesome way to settle international troubles. Nations usually can find a way out of warfare if they desire honestly to do so. The distress that sovietism has brought and is bringing upon Russia never can be measured. It is difficult to discern where the Russians have been gainers by going from Czarism to sovietism. California has several important orchard, farm and mineral products which should be given adequate protection under the revised tariff law. The California delegation in Congress is giving alert attention to this. Congressman Manuel Herriek, of Oklahoma, has a nack for getting himself into undignified situations, and indulging in escapades which are unbeefitting the high position of member of the National Legislature. "Stunt" flying over the Capitol and about Washington is not a pastime becoming to a congressman. Memorial Day services, each recurring year, are beautiful and impressive. No country on earth shows more generous sentimental adjeciation of its heroic dead. Sometimes not so much appreciation is shown toward the heroic living. At this season, when the galant deeds of American soldiery come fresh to mind, solemn resolve should be made by government and people to remember and to recompense, in some measure, the brave men, yet living, who served this Nation and the cause of Freedom in war. HEROISM OF ENGINEER IS INSPIRING Just another of those frequent examples of manly bravery and self-sacrifice found among plain, everyday matter-of-fact men. His name is Michael Ryan, aged 32, a steam-shovel engineer employed on irrigation works, in the Yuma district. While men were working in a quarry, near where the steam shovel was, Mr. Ryan discovered an unexploded blast from which smoke was curling. Realizing the danger, he warned all the workmen away, and swung the big shovel over the spot, bravely staying with it. The blast wrecked the shovel and the engineer was injured seriously, perhaps fatally. It is no detraction from the noble quality of this man's act to assert that heroism of this kind is not uncommon. Here, there and everywhere men in workmen's garb may be found who, in similar circumstances, would do just what brave Michigan Ryan did. Which denotes the inherent nobility of human nature. Those who become soured on mankind and try to make themselves believe that there is little or no good in human nature, and that men and women are inconsiderate of others and steeped in selfishness, have a great misconception. They do not see beneath the exterior. They do not discern the latent nobility of heart among those all about them. DON'T FORGET Take Pictures When Attending the Orange Show.

The most interesting feature of prohibition is that even its most appreciative Receives The Orange-co Choral Union in its premier appearance before an Anaheim audience was enthusiastically received by a large and appreciative audience at the new high school auditorium last night. H. M. S. Pinafora was wonderfully well presented for an amateur organization and particularly was this realized when it was remembered that last night's performance was the first presentation of the musical comedy. Each member of the large cast went thru the performance as if it were the 100th instead of the first presentation. The chorus numbers were particularly pleasing because of the volume of well trained voices as well as the catchy lines and at the end of each act there were repeated curtain calls while Director Ellis Rhodes was given repeated rousing hands and numerous beautiful floral pieces. Jack Miller as Sir Joseph Porter Maurice Phillips as Dick Deadey and Raymond R: Miles as Ralph Rackstraw stood out particularly for the quality of their voices and acting. Louise Montgomery made a good Josephine, the captain's daughter. Edith Cornell sang in a clear voice the part of Little Buttercup the bumboat woman. The story of Pinafore is so generally well known that it is like repeating and old, familiar tale to outline the plot. The rise of the curtain shows the deck of His Majesty's Ship Pinafore. The Captain is in a mournful mood because his daughter does not favor his plan to marry her to Sir Joseph Porter, and confesses that she loves an ordinary sailor. Soon after she meets Ralph who tells her of his love, but he haughtily repulsed. In desperation he threatens to shoot himself, and... WILD ANIMAL STUFF "Pa! You great big dear!

That parody "got a big hand," at the spring luncheon of the Woman's Forum, New York City. The most interesting feature of prohibition is that even its most rabid enemies take it good-naturedly. The "kidding" about the dry laws indicates that the nation at heart is dry. It also indicates a fundamental national respect for law, despite the joshing. Many people who curse prohibition would vote dry if it can be a referendum show-down. In Boston they found three stills in one house. This house shortage is something awful. FATTY'S VISION Fatty Arbuckle has written a comedy and sold it to Buster Keaton. It's called "The Vision." Is Fatty beginning to see the light? It isn't proper for a man to shoot his hostess in the back, a Los Angeles judge tells a defendant. Which proves again that when a man butts into L.A. society he'd better be sure of the rules. "Women may be slaves to fashion," says Li'l Oh Oh, the office crow, "but their burdens are light." Some of the Things the Wild Ether Waves are Saying: "Whooo-ee! Click! Sputter!

Our experience is that pride goeth with a fall. Co-operation give increasing evidence of its big place in our development. New York saw the largest shareholders meeting in its history the other night when more than 1500 owner-members of the Hotel Commonwealth gathered in the town hall and called the officers of their company to account. It was the annual meeting and was characterized by a searching investigation into the business conduct for 1921 of the greatest co-operative enterprise in America. This great hotel of 2500 rooms will be opened in June 1923. After a grilling of more than three hours duration, the members of the Hotel Commonwealth passed a unanimous vote of confidence in their directors and re-elected them to office, with the addition of one, Jason Rogers, publisher of The New York Globe. We usually think of New York's ornaments and monuments as being pretty new—as belonging to this age in its charming modernity. It is something of a shock to you if you come upon it suddenly to learn that the obelisk in Centralt park stood in front of the Temple of the Sun in Heliopolis, near Carior, Egypt, 1,600 years before the birth of Christ. Now they've found trees that grow cotton. Perhaps it's hiding from the boll weevils. Typewriters —The R.A.

The Captain warns mood because hisoes not favor his plan to so Sir Joseph Porter, and that she loves an ordinary man after she meets Ralph, mother of his love, but is repulsed. In desperation he is to shoot himself, and Josephine then confesses that she cares for him. They plan to get ashore and be married but are overheard by Dick Deadeye, a sort of comedy villian, who threatens to prevent their elopement. In the second act, Little Buttercup naively reveals her affection for the Captain, but he tells her that he may only be her friend. This angels her, and she prophesies a change in his fortunes. Sir Joseph enters and complains to the Captain that Josephine has disappointed him. Corcoran tells him that his daughter is dazzled by the exalted station of her suitor, and suggests that he plead his cause on the ground that love levels all ranks. Sir Joseph accepts his suggestion, but only succeeds in strengthening his rival's cause, as Josephine becomes even more firmly resolved to wed Ralph. Dick Deadeye now reveals the planned elopment, and the Captain stops the couple as they are stealing away, demanding where they are going. Ralph confesses his love for Josephine, which so angers Corcoran that he swears. Sir Joseph hears him and orders him to his cabin, but on being told the cause of the excitement, orders Ralph also to be confined. Little Buttercup, interrupting, reveals her secret and tells how the Captain and Ralph were accidentally exchanged when both were infants. Whereupon, Sir Joseph, revealing the crowning absurdity of Gilbert's plot, sends for the seaman, gives him command of the ship and nobly consents to his marriage with Josephine. The Captain, who now automatically becomes a common sailor, marries the happy Little Buttercup. RATES DROP WITH WAGES WASHINGTON, May 23.—Fright rates will not be cut until wages come down.
