HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co: Per yr. $3; six months $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Cal., as second-class matter DAILY GREETING TO READERS To him who constantly looks forward, with trust, to a future life immortality becomes more and more certain. The pure in heart who habitually look up to a heavenly ideal of goodness, see God more and more. —J. F. Clarke. The trouble with Russia is—trouble. Take your politics with several grains of tolerance. The best cure for snake-bite, after all, is not to get bitten. It is the sea of bad influences that produces "crime waves." Violence is wholly out of place and utterly inexcusable in industrial disputes. Help to make and keep pictures clean by patronizing clean films. The reformer, as an evidence of good faith, should begin his reform work on himself. Give and take should be the ruling principle in disputes between capital and labor. Let the Russians say it with flowers—but for goodness sake, don't let them pay it with rubles! To be an abject loser in the World War, the unspeakable Turk came out of it pretty much of a gainer. When women become members of the United States Senate it will be in order to make the coat-of-arms of the senate a broom rampant and a rolling-plin couchant. There is good common sense in the suggestion that films should be cleaned up by beginning with the scenarios. If a scenario be what it should be likewise. NON-AGGRESSIONAL IS JAPAN'S POLICY Quite reassuring is the word which comes from Tokyo. The new government, headed by Admiral Baron Kato, is striving to place Japan be fore the world as an "non-progressive nation, striving to maintain the peace of the world." Formal official announcement is made, in consonance with this peace-fostering policy, that the Japanese government has decided to withdraw all troops from the maritime province of Siberia by October 30. Admiral Baron Kato headed the Japanese delegation to the Washington Arms Conference and seems to have returned home saturated with the spirit of that conference and forcefully advocating the adoption of a non-aggressive policy on the part of Japan. The world will welcome this course at Tokyo. Carried forward in good faith—and there is reason to doubt its genuineness and sincerity—a great stride will have been taken toward the promoting of world peace and the removing of suspicions. It is a wise policy for Japan to take—one that should insure to its economic good. For, by adopting a non-aggressive attitude, its military budget can be reduced greatly and more money and more energy of the Japanese people can be devoted to economic development. SLAYINGS OF POLITICAL ASPECT, ABROAD Political assassinations are starting the Old World. A few months ago one of Japan's most eminent statesman was killed. A few days ago Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson was shot down at the very door of his London home. And now Walter Rathenau, foreign minister in the republican government at Berlin, is assassinated by political enemies.

To be an abject loser in the World War, the unspeakable Turk came out of it pretty much of a galner. When women become members of the United States Senate it will be in order to make the coat-of-arms of the senate a broom rampant and a rolling-pin couchant. There is good common sense in the suggestion that films should be cleaned up by beginning with the scenarios. If a scenario be what it should be, the picture will be likewise. Some sound, practical, constitutional way should be found to prevent the employment of children of tender years in mines and factories for long hours. This is an evil that should not be tolerated in this country. One envies Captain Amundsen at this season of the year. But by Christmas one would be willing to move from the polar regions down to the tropics. The human animal is hard to satisfy in the matter of climate. Immediate independence might be a costly and disastrous gift to the Filipinos. The child that cries to play with the fire may think itself abused because its parents do not humor its whim. But reason teaches that children should not be given fire with which to play. The Filipinos are children yet, politically. Their present fitness for complete self-rule is seriously to be questioned. The number of proposed amendments to the United States Constitution should be kept within reason. No amendment should be proposed unless it be intrinsically meritorious and imperatively needed. Oftentimes legislation under the Constitution as it is, covers all the remedying of any specific condition that is needed. Far better is it to legislate this way, than to attempt to cumber the Constitution with too many amendments, which would rob it of its dignity. SLAYINGS OF POLITICAL ASPECT, ABROAD Political assassinations are starting the Old World. A few months ago one of Japan's most eminent statesman was killed. A few days ago Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson was shot down at the very door of his London home. And now Walter Rathenau, foreign minister in the republican government at Berlin, is assassinated by political enemies. This slaying is supposed to have been inspired by monarchists. The republican regime in Germany is bitterly opposed by the monarchist group and uprisings have been threatened and feared for some time. The Rathenau assassination may be a preliminary step to an attempt in force to overthrow the republic and to restore the monarchy. This, of course, would cause apprehension and reprehension throughout the world. Seemingly, there is no probability, however, that the monarchist reactionaries can succeed in their machinations. Political assassinations are completely out of tune with the spirit of this age. They are not required, as a solvent. Conditions are so democratic in all progressive counties that the people themselves can effect political reforms through peaceful methods without violence. Political assassinations are debasing and accomplish no good, but much harm. They call it "deliberations" of Congress—for courtesy's sake, possibly. The Filipinos are not oppressed. They have no reason to be irked under American rule which is benevolent and helpful. They already enjoy a large measure of self-rule. Full independence at this time might be more harmful than beneficial to the islanders. They well might wait patiently for the United States government to take the initiative in granting them autonomy.

REDUCE NATIONAL DEBT BY HUGE SUMS The public debt has been reduced to -22,950,000,000. This is a cut of $3,000,000,000 from the peak figures which the national indebtedness reached during the World War. Additional reductions are to be made within the next few years. This is to be done in three ways, namely: By provision in each year's budget for the creation of a sinking fund to be established by the ordinary receipts of the government; realization from the sales of war surplus materials, by the Shipping Board and the War and Navy Departments; and applying theretic monies derived from the liquidation of the War Finance Corporation, the Federal Land Banks and the obligations of the carriers acquired during government control of railroads.

It is thought that he saw another horse. One sad sight is a municipal pier fisherman with his aims so full he can't tell about the ones that got away.

MARU STUFF From an envelope inscribed with numerous Japanese symbols which we can't read, we pick this quatrain, among several: A man must be a cobbler to properly make shoes; A plumber, too, must learn the trade, and promptly pay his dues; A carpenter must learn to saw; a tin-smith to cut tin; But a man to run the government, doesn't have to know a thing. —Kalei Kaleitrassus. It isn't good poetry, but it's pretty fair prose. NEW YORK, June 28.—We have another nice new war on with Chicago. This time it's about liquor. New York has arisen to declare with exultation that with its whole six million people, it used only half a million liquor prescriptions from its physicians in all last year, whereas Chicago, with its fractional size used three million. All the triumph of virtue on our side, you see! Then the Queen of the Prairies retaliated with, the scornful explanation that it was because New York can get all it wants from bootleggers, who flourish twenty or so to one in Chicago. Consequently, this wicked eastern city doesn't have to bother its doctors. We have now come back with repartee of Lardnerian cleverness to the effect that our physicians are so much more conscientious than Chicago's that they won't prescribe just wholesale. It's a merry little battle and just one more broken peace to be laid to liquor's door. There are two happiest and proudest grand opera stars on Manhattan Island right now. One is the eternally-charming Mme. Emma Calve, who came back in every sense of the term the other day and proved herself the same fascinating, gay, intense Carmen as ever in her youngest days and with just the same hold on the hearts of the people. The other is Mme. Louise Homer, who wants the whole world to know that she is a grandmother. A daughter was born the other day to Mr. and Mrs. Ernest M. Stires, daughter of the prima donna and son of the Episcopal clergyman and Mme. Homer was not so happy as this the night she made her debut on the opera stage. Anyone who believes that theatrical audiences demand sensationalism, sex intrigue, or extravagant scenery, ought to take a lesson from that play which continues to be the hit of two seasons, "The First Year." This realistic comedy of ordinary married life, in which Frank Craven does some of the best work of his career, has just Additional reductions within the next few years. This is to be done in three ways, namely: By provision in each year's budget for the creation of a sinking fund to be established by the ordinary receipts of the government; realization from the sales of war surplus materials, by the Shipping Board and the War and Navy Departments; and applying thereto monies derived from the liquidation of the War Finance Corporation, the Federal Land Banks and the obligations of the carriers acquired during government control of railroads. It is encouraging to know that, so soon after the end of the great war and before this country fully has recovered from the economic depression resultant from the conflict, so much has been paid on this huge obligation. It emphasizes, before the world, the complete unquestionable solvency of the United States government at all times. Independence for the Philippines when the islanders are fully qualified to govern themselves—but no premature granting of autonomy. This is the segacious course for the United States to take. They are thriving and their interests are being protected. There is no reason why the formal underwriting of autonomy should take place at this time. The islanders themselves are better off to be under the direct protection of the United States until world conditions become more settled.

PAU Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying NEED GEMS OF THE FILMS Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette An attractive suggestion for the movies is made by the poet, Vachel Lindsay. It is a new sort of art, described by a newspaper interviewer as "little masterpieces in movies, films for art's sake, two or three minutes long." There is no more reason, argues Lindsay, why a motion picture film should be invariably several reels long than there is for requiring that every poem should run for several cantos. "We shall see motion pictures one of these days," he prophesies, "which will be as much works of art as beautiful pieces of sculpture or painting. Art students will produce them, and they will be shown in our museums side by side with other masterpieces." The director of the Denver Art Association is said to agree with this view. Why not? The opportunity is here. The motion camera, unquestionably has far greater artistic possibilities than it has yet realized. Edgar Allen Poe effectively disposed of the old reverence for epic poems and showed that to be fully effective, a poem must necessarily be short, not making too great demand on the reader's power of sustained attention. Pictures are admittedly easier to look at than poems are to be read, but the same principle probably applies, and an artistic gem of the films would doubtless be all the more effective for being short enough to let the beholder take in all its perfections with little effort. There are genius now, to be found in the best films, but they are merely incidental. Some producing artists may come along one of these days and make a business of them. are considering a new plan to put an end to this joysome racing. "Thank-you-mans" compose the lesson. Do you remember those holes and sudden depressions in the old-fashioned, unimproved roads that gave you just a jolt and were called by that name? Well, that's the idea; just put those TO PREVVENT DELINQUENCY Santa Ana (Cal.) Register An article which tells of modern methods of restoring the delinquent girl to normal, useful and happy life is full of suggestions which, if put into practice in home and community, would prevent much of that delinquency in the first place. If humane treatment and sympathetic understanding of her problems can point the way to the cure of the psychopathic or abnormal girl, the same care might have started her on the right road in the beginning. If learning and doing can restore the girl committed to an institution to a normal and active niche in the community, the right sort of education might have kept her there from the start. The fine work done by a number of state correctional institutions is deserving of careful study with this thought in mind—in the end prevention is more important than cure. A community keenly aware of its duty to its citizens will not grudge the expenditure on hospitals, schools and recreation facilities. Recreation has been defined as the "constructive use' of leisure time. The most successful correctional schools have found that nothing is of greater importance in carrying out their purposes than recreation. Athletics, games, plays, pageants, a developing folk-theatre movement, orchestras, community choruses, commemorating festivals, camping and hiking, are proving to be the surest antidotes to the jazz and "ready-made recreation" of the day. This discovery has already been made in many state corrective organizations. The outside community would do well to follow their example. Doctor says crying is a baby's exercise.

Mrs. Louise Ducey, of 351 West Fifty-fifth street, is an actress and likes acting. She is also a plumber and likes plumbing. She has found, she told Surrogate Cobalan yesterday, that her acting doesn't interfere with her plumbing and that her plumbing doesn't interfere with her acting. Because of this she feels that she should be allowed to run the plumbing business of her late husband as she pleases. Miss Helen F. Ducey, sister of the late Mr. Ducey, is somewhat dubious as to Mrs. Ducey's ability to combine successfully the exacting professions of plumbing and acting. A controversy has arisen between them over the administration of Mr. Ducey's estate. Sound Investment big company for it pays two ways—it pays a profit brings a payroll to Anaheim.
