DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS We are such stuff As dreams are made of, and our little life Is rounded with asleep. —Shakespeare. No muddy road is short. Overcoming troubles is what makes men strong. The best man eventually gets to the top in everything but politics. It is worth anybody's six bits to go to the show and hear the kiddies laugh at Charles Chaplin. If Adam, when he lost Paradise, had only advertised, he could have found it in California. Some smooth swindler, tiring of selling gold bricks, is going to cut those some day and sell the Golden Gate. A picture that would be a real thriller — one showing "Uncle Joe" Cannon and Barney Oldfield not chewing rakishly tilted cigars. It takes just as much time to do nothing as to plow a field, build a house or fill in the chuck-holes along the highway. Illiteracy is being gradually reduced in California. Let's put ignorance out on the double quick. There has been no reduction in the price of folly and no liberalizing of terms as to paying for it. The foolish must settle for their folly, to the last farthing. Don't let a good buy get by. Retail prices have been readjusted so that everybody is warranted in purchasing liberally, as seasonable needs prompt. RESPECT FOR LAW IS AT ROOT OF SAFETY Influences are at work in this country which threaten to undermine respect for law and, ultimately, loyalty to government. For true loyalty to the government is based upon respect for law. This is a government by law. One of the worst menaces of this age is this lack of respect for law. It is to be found in all ranks of society—among the rich and among the poor; among adults and among the young. Prevalence of the law defying or law evading spirit is startling. And yet there is no great organized movement to counteract it. The mighty unorganized mass of citizenship of good intentions is leaving this peril to right itself. But it will not right itself. It is come to pass that breaking or evading of laws and ordinances is smiled upon and treated, even by persons who themselves abide the laws, as being clever and not to be severely reprehended. Parents are making law breakers of their children by letting them run wild and undisciplined and by laughing at their lawlessness. Example of parents, too, is not always what it should be. In the home, in the schools and in the churches as well as through the press and thru every agency that reaches and sways the people, respect for law should be stressed. EMPLOYMENT STATUS IS BETTERED Revival of employment through the country "has so greatly improved our situation that our anxieties in this particular are largely removed," asserts President Harding, in expressing gratitude to Secretary of Commerce Hoover and others for their efforts to ameliorate distressing unemployment conditions. "We have passed the winter of the greatest unemployment in the history of our country," says the President. But because o f the co-ordinated eofrts of federal and state officials, mayors and their committees of employers, relief organizations and citizens, "we Illiteracy is being gradually reduced in California.

Here is the most spectacular flight of all that is going begging. Where is the aerial Christopher Columbus to make the first air trip across this broad expanse? Nothing scandalous about Alaska has been forth coming since Scott C. Bone went up there to be governor. Mr. Bone will not stand for anything unclean in government—and he has the keenness of perception to know what is clean and what is otherwise. Revival of employment through the country "has so greatly improved our situation that our anxieties in this particular are largely removed." asserts President Harding, in expressing gratitude to Secretary of Commerce Hoover and others for their efforts to ameliorate distressing unemployment conditions. "We have passed the winter of the greatest unemployment in the history of our country," says the President. But because of the co-ordinated efforts of federal and state officials, mayors and their committees of employers, relief organizations and citizens, "we have come through with much less suffering than in previous years when unemployment was very much less." These words from President Harding are extremely gratifying. They give assurance that the worst of the economic depression is past. And they convey the welcome intelligence that there has been the minimum of suffering among teh unemployed. The country faces much better prospects now. Improvement in the employment situation is constant. Industries are reviving. Trade is responding with much better tone. Conditions are becoming better and better. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying YOUNGSTERS IN CRIME—Pittsburgh Leader. Reorganizations of police departments in the large cities have contributed nothing to check the tidal wave of crime of all grades. The day's news is the proof. The forces of law and order have had nothing added that makes any difference. New equipment, in the shape of motor cars for swift pursuit and new automatic revolvers and training for quick response to challenges from other automatics, have not changed the general current of criminal victory. The thieves, bandits and lawbreakers of all models continue apparently with no prospect that they will pause except through their own initiative. The police force of New York, for two generations pronounced "the finest in the world," seems just as helpless in the face of the competition as the two-man force of Cranberry Crossing, the little tank town on the branch line. A record of 39 murders in March, more than one for every day, with thousands of robberies of all grades, from the simple sneak-thieving to deeds of desperate daring in broad daylight, is the best 10,000 trained, intelligent and experienced representatives of the law can show in New York. And when prison sta-tions add to this fact that 86 per cent of all current crime is the work of new hands in the field, first offenders, the country has something dismal to contemplate. Just run over the endless string of crimes during the last four years bearing in mind that they came from the hands of young men and women until they respectable and law-abiding. Isn't there something in that to chill your blood? But to that, think that prison experts and social workers have the figures to show that about 99 per cent of current crime is contributed by boys under 21 and girls in their teens only mid-teen—and what is your conclusion? It is an extraordinary condition and cannot be reached by any ordinary solution. What has happened to change so many good boys and girls into potential criminals? There is a reason for everything. There must be some reason for this change in the psychology of thousands of boys and girls. Is the cause the example of older people? Is it that the boys and girls have seen more of the principle in the conduct of their elders than the older ones expected? Has the example of the elders been all that it should? Or have they a responsibility they can't escape? Occasionally tha-up and march off colony. Sometimes pose of capturing turn them into slaves.

It's a big fish about as long as a Pullman car, living in the ocean around the South Pole country. As many as 16 seals have been found in the whale-killer's stomach.

Then they tear its tongue out. That's mob attack—warfare. Cynics point to this as an illustration that war is a natural state, that war is being waged constantly all through nature. So, they reason, human war can never be ended. There's something to be said on either side.

NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, June 6. — Broadway is to have a shrine. On the slope of Trinity Cemetery close to the grave of Alfred Tennyson Dickens, just south of 155th street, we are to have a sundial, with the wings a hovering angel casting the shadow to indicate the hours. This son of Charles Dickens died suddenly while on a visit to this country and at the request of his family was buried in Trinity grave yard. His grave is the scene of a lovely ceremony every year at Christmas, when hundreds of children and adults hold service in the church across the street and the cross Broadway to the grave, each child carrying a lighted candle. This ceremony will be held at the shrine on future Christmas days. them a bargain, but only because they were pretty. The other day, she decided to have them restrung and took them into a small neighborhood jewelry shop. "Would you care to sell these?" the proprietor asked, after looking them over. No, she thought not, but what would he pay. "Twenty thousand dollars," he said, never batting an eyelash. It speaks for the poise of our American women that she neither fainted nor gasped. "I'll think it over," she replied calmly, and walked out. It is speaking mildly to say, however, that her curiosity was piqued. If there was such a sudden and amazing market for amber beads, it would be interesting to learn if the news of it had reached They want luxuries—delicacies. So a gang of them get together and attack a sperm whale until they make it open its mouth. Then they tear its tongue out. That’s mob attack—warfare. Cynics point to this as an illustration that war is a natural state, that war is being waged constantly all through nature. So they reason, human war can never be ended. There’s something to be said on either side. Up North, the timber wolves are pairing off in couples, peacefully sneaking away into caves to raise their young. Next winter, when food will be scarce and hard to catch against a white snow background, the wolves will begin running in packs—their combinations for warfare. It’s till a matter of food. Wolves never attack human bings unless driven to it by starvation. Of all creatures in nature, ants are the most like humans. Ants maintain standing armies, scientifically organized, with officers n charge of regiments and battalions. These ant armies, however, are for defense. Occasionally the ant armies line up and march off to attack another colony. Sometimes this is for the purpose of capturing neighbor ants and turn them into slaves. But more often, ants do not go to war until their food supply gives out and they must conquer a new one or starve. The so-called constant warfare in nature is a simple struggle for existence—to obtain food. As soon as food is obtained, war stops. Nature makes food scarce in the animal world because the constant warfare strengthens the fighters, kills off the weak and inefficient, and permits survival only of the fittest. There was some excuse, in the natural sense, for men warring in the days when it was nip-and-tuck with starvation. But today agricultural, mechanical production and the system of distribution are developed to the point where there would be more than enough food for every person on earth if equitably divided. That destroys the basic excuse for war. Anything interfering with the free flow of food is a dynamic generator of war. Some of these days Los Angeles county taxpayers are going to run up and demand, for convenience sake, that the courthouse be moved to Hollywood. Wouldn’t This Make You Burn Your Incubator?

Bromley Oxnam Speaker at Banquet for 250 Men The men of White Temple are planning a great program for Thursday night, June 15. On that occasion Bromley Oxnam will give his lecture on Europe as he saw it in his recent visit. Mr. Oxnam has traveled around the world with Sherwood Eddy, visiting and speaking at many of the great educational centers. He has had remarkable opportunities to interview and hear the world leaders in Europe and Asia. He has made a first hand study of labor conditions in England and has given recently twelve lectures on that subject. When in England he visited Thomas, the leader of the miners; also Arthur Henderson who had just returned from his special mission to Russia. Mr. Oxnam is a tireless student, an ominovorous reader and a prodigious worker. His father was a wealthy mining engineer, whose work took him to many lands. The son had great educational opportunities in California, Boston and abroad. He is now at work in the center of Los Angeles at the Church of All Nations, and is in constant demand by clubs, schools and colleges and is perhaps doing more speaking than any other man in So. Calif. Mr. Oxnam is a dynamic personality, a rapid fire speaker, saying something every second and always hitting the nail on the head. Plans are being made to seat 250 men and women at the tables. The White Temple ladies have a reputation for the menus they put up, and this will be a special spread. An excellent program is being arranged in addition to the address by Mr. Oxnam and this promises to be one of the best rallies this great church has ever arranged for the Anheim public. Only 250 tickets will be sold, so you better get yours early if you wish to be in on this, the event of the year. —If it's from Witman's It's good.
